Falke was prepared for nothing before he came, but he didn't expect to gain something this time, that is, to take over the new star of Sabonis and become his agent.

Sabonis didn't think about the agent before coming to the NBA, and in socialist countries, the role of an agent is a typical vampire, so Sabonis didn't consider finding an agent for himself.

Some agents also approached Sabonis directly, hoping to take care of business affairs for him, but Sabonis was obedient to Gan Guoyang, and after asking Gan Guoyang's opinion, he refused the invitation of those agents.

Gan Guoyang naturally has his arrangement, as early as last season, when Michael Jordan won the regular season MVP and the Air-Jordan brand was a big seller, Gan Guoyang decided to take a step ahead of Jordan and form an independent brand of "Skyscraper".

It's just that in recent years, Falke and Gan Guoyang have been in several confrontations on business issues, and Falke has finally lost, which also makes Falke more and more unconfident in front of Gan Guoyang, and can almost only obey his words.

When Gan Guoyang made this decision, he had already given full consideration, because he knew that in the future, Jordan's "Air-Jordan" would become an independent brand, which would have much more commercial value than Nike's sub-products.

What's more, Gan Guoyang is very confident in his own strength, and he believes that this season, he will break out.

It is precisely because of knowing this trend that Gan Guoyang made preparations early and negotiated with Nike about the brand divestment, of course, although the brand is divested, "Skyscraper" is still a Nike product, but the main logo of the sneakers will be replaced with the logo of "Skyscraper" - a towering skyscraper.

In fact, before Falck came, these matters had already begun to operate, after all, Gan Guoyang was in Portland, with the headquarters of Nike, and it was very convenient to talk about things.

Of course, Falke also knew that Gan Guoyang could not complete these negotiations by relying on one person alone, so Falke quickly thought of Gan Guoyang's famous lawyer's cousin - Qian Hui.

As a well-known Chinese lawyer in the United States, Qian Hui has rich connections in the legal and business circles, and because of this, Falke, a guy who began to call for wind and rain in the NBA agent industry, is not a right-hand man here in Gan Guoyang.

This negotiation in Gan Guoyang's car made Falck feel that he was a little accountant who came to report to Gan Guoyang, rather than a strategist who decided his future, which made Falke very unhappy.

Gan Guoyang seemed to see Falke's unhappiness, so after Gan Guoyang finished talking about things, he invited Falke to his new home, and personally cooked at home and entertained Falke, which can be regarded as full respect for Falke.

Therefore, when Falck left Portland by plane the next day, his heart was full of helplessness, he knew that he could not control Gan Guoyang now, as long as Gan Guoyang could play his own world in the NBA, then in other fields, Gan Guoyang would use his honor in the NBA to open up his own territory.

"These Chinese are really merciful, surrounded by people from their own families, like those Italians, if there are Eastern players coming in the future, I will not cooperate with them!" Falck thought on the plane that the United States is a country that pays more attention to karmic relationships, while Chinese obviously pay more attention to kinship, so Falck is naturally slowly excluded from the core decision-making circle.

This cunning and shrewd Jew still failed to fight Gan Guoyang, a traverser, after all, and the strangest thing is that although Falke complained, he didn't hate Gan Guoyang at all in his heart, maybe the good dishes cooked by Gan Guoyang had a certain effect.

Gan Guoyang also didn't hate Falke in his heart, he still remembered that when he was arrested, Falke's anxious look was definitely not acted.

There is such a wonderful relationship between these two people.

………………

Just as Falck was flying out of Portland the next day, another guest arrived at Gan's home.

It is rare for Gan Guoyang to go home for lunch directly after training, not only because Wang Fuxi is resting today, but also because Wang Fuxi's father has also arrived in Portland, and Wang Zhengmin wants to come to see his daughter and son-in-law.

Gan Guoyang, as the descendant of Gan Youwei's Huaiyang cuisine, plus he was deeply worried about Wang Fuxi's cooking skills.

At the dinner table, Wang Zhengmin and Gan Guoyang drank a few glasses, and slowly began to talk more.

Gan Guoyang now knows that his father-in-law is definitely not simple, and the owner of the electrical appliance shop is just a cover for his identity, otherwise, how can a Chinese survive in a chaotic community like Inglewood, and Wang Fuxi can still study and grow healthy in school?

In the past, he must have been regarded as the number one person in Taiwan, which can be seen from Wang Zhengmin's conversation and insight.

Watching the two chat, Wang Fuxi obediently packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Gan Guoyang's family did not invite servants except for two bodyguards, only the hourly union came to clean up on time, Gan Guoyang didn't like too many people in the family.

"Fuxi, this child, like her mother, is too strong, once you start doing things, you will be day and night, and you, too, even stronger than Fuxi, otherwise you would not be able to gain such a firm foothold in the United States. So, sometimes I'm still worried about the two of you, don't forget to care for each other. Wang Zhengmin is most concerned about the happiness of the two of them, but these two guys are too competitive in their careers.

"I know, we're both getting busier and busier now, but she's a lot better since she moved to Portland, and she's been away from home for so many years, and if I win the championship next year, I'll marry Fuxi." Gan Guoyang once said that as long as he won the championship, he would marry Wang Fuxi.

"Haha, now a lot of media are optimistic about your team, if you can win the championship, it is really the pride of our Chinese, you must know that in Los Angeles, I don't know how many Chinese teenagers are proud of you, wearing your jersey to play on the streets. In the past, most of the basketball courts were dark-skinned children, but now there are more yellow-skinned children. Wang Zhengmin is in a black neighborhood like Inglewood, and there are many changes on the street basketball courts, and he sees a lot of changes.

"This is a good thing, being in a foreign land, it is also appropriate to be able to make some contributions to the people in my hometown."

"Guoyang, people often say that Chinese are abroad, a person is a dragon, together is a worm, intrigue with each other, and it is the Chinese who harm the Chinese the most. I've seen a lot of these examples in my years in the United States, and sometimes I wonder why? There are many reasons, I can't think clearly, but there is one reason I know, the Chinese are in the United States and do not have their own heroes! You look at those white people, their comics, their movies, how many white heroes are there? Look at the black people, the leaders of the civil rights movement, and the sports stars, they are all heroes. A nation without heroes is sad, of course the Chinese have heroes, but in the United States, we don't! Without heroes, there is no sense of honor, and there will be no respect, you look at those film and television works, which yellow-skinned person is a positive role? So, Guoyang, Forrest Gump! You want to be the hero of the Chinese in the United States! Let those whites, blacks, and Latinos see that the Chinese are not easy to bully in the United States! It is also possible to make great achievements! ”

Wang Zhengmin, who looked polite, after drinking wine, said something with a sense of pride, and Gan Guoyang, who has always been calm, listened to it, and even felt that his blood was burning.

Gan Guoyang took a sip of wine, and then said: "A person without roots is not a complete person, I wandered to the United States, and now I have these, the earliest is a coincidence, out of love for basketball; Today, I still love basketball, but I also love the blood that runs in my blood and the roots across the ocean. Now, whether it's for myself or for the sake of fighting for the Chinese in the United States, this year, I will get that trophy, definitely! ”

"Good! To be a man is to have this kind of pride! I'm from Los Angeles, but I've got your back! You lost the Western Conference Finals last year, but you know how many Chinese in Los Angeles are sad about it. By the way, you guys will play against the Lakers right away, I have already bought the tickets, and I will go to the scene to watch it when the time comes, and I must show my momentum, rush from beginning to end, and let them see the strength of the Chinese heroes! ”

Wang Zhengmin looked a little excited, although his suggestion was not necessarily right, but his emotions were sincere and strong, Gan Guoyang felt it, and had a big drink with Wang Zhengmin.

As opponents in the same district, the Trail Blazers meet the Lakers early every year, and this year is no exception, with 10 days to go before the first game of the regular season between the two teams, the advance tickets for the Great Western Forum Arena have all been sold out, and the major TV stations have already booked this game, which will be broadcast live across the United States.

At this time, the Trail Blazers' regular season has only played two games, but looking at it, until the start of the game against the Lakers, no team can stop the Trail Blazers.

Playing against the Lakers will be the first litmus test for the Trail Blazers in the new season.
