"Smack!"

In the luxurious office, Sui Jiayuan slapped the table heavily, and the teacup on the table trembled, Sui Jiayuan was about fifty years old, thin, with a proper seven-point hair, white and black hair mixed in, wearing a white and red plaid shirt, a tie under his neck, and his eyes that should have been wise and clear were full of rare anger.

"What a shame! What a shame! Sui Jiayuan's chest fell together, his eyes locked on the old man in a gray hoodie and sweatpants standing opposite him, but his finger pointed to the newspaper on his chest, and said, "Old man, look at it!" It's a shame! ”

The age of the old man standing under the desk and Sui Jiayuan is not much different, but his height is one meter nine, but his body is thinner than Sui Jiayuan, so thin that he can see the towering bones on his cheeks and the bridge of his nose, the old man is wearing a gray hoodie, the hat wraps all the old man's hair, the sunset and setting outside the window, the dim afterglow shines through the glass on the window, reflected on the old man's gloomy face, and the two deep and divine eyes are staring at the angry Sui Jiayuan.

He had already read the newspaper in front of Sui Jiayuan, but the old man still took two steps forward, owed, and glanced at the newspaper twice.

The headline in the newspaper is that in the warm-up match of the China-Brazil men's basketball team, the Chinese men's basketball team will "beat" the Brazilian men's basketball team back to China!

According to news reports, on October 12, 2010, less than five minutes after the opening of the warm-up match of the high-profile China-Brazil Men's Basketball World Championship, all kinds of friction and anger erupted collectively, the basketball game turned into an all-armed operation, the court lost control, many Chinese and Brazilian basketball players were injured, and the Brazilian players withdrew in a hurry, and the original game was temporarily changed to the Chinese men's basketball team's internal confrontation......

"Old man, tell me, invite people over to play the game, and it turns out like this, this is really a shame!"

Sui Jiayuan lit a cigarette and looked out the window at the setting sun.

"As far as I know, the Brazilian national team in the name is actually just a team in the Brazilian domestic league, Deng Huade has said before the game, this team has a lot of small actions, and is extremely good at stirring up the atmosphere, but no one thought that it would be such a result."

The old man said slowly, he has always been like this, he speaks in a very slow tone, and when he speaks, there is no expression on his face.

"Don't mention the national team to me, I can see that it is difficult to get ahead in this World Championships, hey, old man," Sui Jiayuan turned around, took a heavy puff of cigarette, and then spit out a burst of yellow and white smoke, in the fog, Sui Jiayuan said worriedly, "Old man, we have more than a billion people in a big country, can't we find a few people who can play basketball, you have led a professional team before, you analyze and analyze the current situation." ”

"It's far away to say this, although there are many people playing basketball in our country, but the infrastructure is poor, the professional team is small, whether it is the reserve scale of talents, or the acquired shaping of physical fitness, there is a big gap with the level of foreign basketball developed countries, we are still in a rising period, Lao Sui, this matter is not urgent."

Sui Jiayuan is the president of Tianhe Real Estate, and when it comes to Tianhe Real Estate, everyone knows it in China, from toothbrushes to towels, from screws to cars, from stone sand cement to real estate, all of which are the areas in which Tianhe Real Estate is involved, and its listed shares are among the top three in China.

"Old man, I have an idea, and I've been thinking about it for a long time." Sui Jiayuan suddenly extinguished the cigarette, looked up at the old man, stood with his hands clenched into fists to his lips, and had a deep expression on his face.

"I know what you're thinking."

"You know?"

"I've been with you for almost thirty years, how can I not know what's going on in your head, besides, your old Sui has such a hobby, I understand." The old man said lightly.

"Tell me about it."

"A few years ago, you asked me to lead a semi-professional and semi-amateur team to play around in the NCAA, and I knew you had this idea at that time, so I also looked for a few good seedlings, hoping to help them step into the highest temple of basketball - the NBA!"

"You're only half right!" Sui Jiayuan's gloomy face finally showed a slight smile.

"What about the other half?" The old man's face was still expressionless.

"I have decided, I want to buy an NBA team, and then build a Chinese team, I want to inject a strong Chinese power into the blood of the NBA, so that the NBA is no longer an unattainable place for all young people in China who love basketball and are full of basketball dreams, only in this way will Chinese basketball take off and develop!"

"What!" The old man's face finally showed a look of surprise, "You want to buy an NBA team!" ”

"Yes, only by opening the door to this highest stage will more people pour into our country!"

"It's too risky, no Chinese have ever done it before, and don't you think it's pulling seedlings to grow!"

"It's the quickest way to do it!" Sui Jiayuan stood up, walked to the window, looked at the afterglow of the sunset outside the window, as if he was saying to himself, "In this matter, even if I am not a successful person, then I am also a pioneer, and behind me, there will always be someone who succeeds!" ”

Lao Fu bowed his head and said nothing, he and Sui Jiayuan were classmates at Tuston College in the United States, they were the only two Chinese in the university at that time, both of them liked to play basketball very much, and both were selected for the school team, Fu Ming played in the college league, and after retiring as a referee, coach, team leader, assistant coach, it can be said that he has dealt with basketball all his life. Sui Jiayuan was seriously injured in the game again, and had to retire from the school team to do business, becoming a rich man who rivals the country, although he no longer plays basketball, but in Sui Jiayuan's heart, he is still full of love for basketball, which Fu Ming knows.

Why do so many people love basketball, because basketball is not just a game of throwing the ball to the basket.

Sui Jiayuan himself can't understand it better, as long as it is a decision he makes, it is impossible for others to persuade him to change his mind, and since he said it, it must be the result of careful consideration, and he led the team to play in the NCAA before, which was just a test for Sui Jiayuan.

"What you decide, I will fully support you!" The old man said firmly.

"That's good!" Sui Jiayuan turned around and said, "Old Fu, I will operate the acquisition of the team and the establishment of the team, you go to find some good seedlings, remember, we need those young people who have potential, at least can gain a foothold in the NBA, I hope they can quickly learn from experience and shortcomings, and then lead our country's basketball industry to take off!" ”

"I told you before, in my hands, there are already a batch of good seedlings in my hands, just wait for you to speak, and then I go to the field, but I want to know, which NBA team do you want to buy? Now that the NBA is also on the rise, the team's profits have not yet reached the maximum, and I don't think anyone will easily get rid of the team. ”

The corners of Sui Jiayuan's mouth smiled lightly and said, "New Orleans Hornets." ”

"Wasp!" The old man frowned, as if he was thinking.

"Yes, it's the New Orleans Hornets, this is the result of my careful thinking, you're right, old man, the current NBA is a money-making cartel monopoly league, the team's interests have not reached the maximum, no one will easily get rid of it, but the New Orleans Hornets are different."

"Different?"

"Yes, remember when Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005? Three full years have passed since the disaster, but the city's vitality is still not restored, the city urgently needs the emergence of a savior, and furthermore, the current Hornets owner George Sean is not rich in total wealth, last year in CNN's NBA owner value survey, he and the Spurs owner Pete Holt tied for the bottom of the league, worth only $100 million, business has been bad in recent years, and his wife was diagnosed with cancer, his financial resources and energy are not enough to support its development, at present, Sean has submitted an auction request to the Alliance, and if he can't do so, the Hornets will be held in escrow by the Alliance. ”

"I see, it seems that you are well prepared for this." The old man nodded and said, "Since your determination is so great, then I can only sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman." ”

"In addition, old man, I still want to talk about something over there," Sui Jiayuan said, "I don't want to be athletes who have already registered in China, you know, no one can understand the system." ”

"I see what you mean." The old man nodded, turned to look at the sunset outside the window, and fell into deep thought.
