Those who can't get it are always in turmoil, and those who are favored have nothing to fear.

The former proud son of Windy City probably best understands the artistic conception of the lyrics of this "Red Rose".

But now it's Yang Yiming's turn to experience this sultry feeling.

Since I didn't wait for Derrick Rose in the parking lot, I probably had to think of something else if I wanted to see the "rose" side.

1/

Yang Yiming entrusted the team's assistant and now girlfriend Meritis to help him contact the Cleveland Cavaliers first.

Meritis is not only beautiful, but also top-notch in her workability, and a few days after the Rockets beat the Brooklyn Nets, she sent in the news:

"Yiming, I'll help you contact the Cavaliers about Derrick Rose..."

"Oh, what do they say?"

"They said they couldn't help us with our contact details."

"What does that mean?" Although they have been mentally prepared for this result, it would be a bit strange to say that the Cavaliers do not have the contact information of their own players.

"Actually, I don't think it's like they don't have Ross's contact information... What they meant to me was that Ross didn't hire an agent or a PR team right now, so he didn't have someone to do that. If you want to contact Rose, you have to go directly to him personally..."

Sure enough, Meritis made things about these teams and players clearer, and Yang Yiming was made clear in a few words:

"But he probably didn't want to be contacted, and the private information club wouldn't be able to reveal it on his behalf."

"That's how it should be."

"Hmm." Yang Yiming snorted. He remembered the black man he met at the Cavaliers' home arena, the Rapid Loan Center, and said that Rose rented an apartment in the city and gave up driving because he was "focused on the basketball court," because he had already enjoyed everything off the basketball court.

The same is true of fortune luxury cars. Excessive attention is the same for Ross.

"Ichi-ming...", was thinking about it when Meritis's words interrupted his thoughts.

"Well, I'm listening."

"Sorry didn't help."

"It's okay. You've helped me a lot. Yang Yiming hurriedly comforted his girlfriend who was slightly apologetic.

"Oh, I thought you wanted to find Rose and meet him."

"That's exactly what you want to help me with." Yang Yiming immediately changed his words: "But you also helped me ask for other very important information, which also helped a lot!" ”

"What's the message?"

"You say you judge that Ross doesn't have a PR team and no agent right now?"

"That's right, that's pretty much what the contact person on the Cavaliers gave me was saying."

"That's great!"

"Great?" Meritis was confused by Yang Yiming's more and more he talked.

"Maybe Yu Xiaochun can be his agent!"

Yang Yiming told Yu Xiaochun his thoughts, and he was not surprised at all when he didn't get to the latter, but agreed without hesitation.

In fact, he didn't know that his proposal coincided with the vision that Yu Xiaochun had silently promised after witnessing the Super Bowl scene before the TV broadcast two days ago.

Build an unshakable business empire: the most commercially valuable players, the most exciting games, the most profitable marketing investment, the most extensive contacts and influence...

It will undoubtedly be a long journey to achieve this. But the NFL wasn't built overnight. In order to turn this grand ambition into reality, Yu Xiaochun is ready to take one step at a time.

Let's take a look at the resources you have:

The most sports and business value is undoubtedly his friend, Yang Yiming.

20 million social media followers, NBA All-Star starter, and a strong contender for the 17-time Rookie of the Year. Basketball talent is a once-in-a-20 year, and the future is limitless for talented Chinese players.

Houston Rockets. As the starting point of Yang Yiming's professional basketball journey, it has a large number of fans in China and is considered half a home team.

Nina, their roommate, a skilled hypnotherapist of unknown origin, can help Yang Yiming stay healthy for a long time, away from injuries. In the same way, she can also be used to win over other professional players, after all, no one wants to be in the company of illness.

Meritis, the team assistant of the Rockets, Yang Yiming's girlfriend, although the relationship between the two has just begun and the future is not clear, but with her talent, she will definitely play a more important role in the team in the future.

Jose Rodriguez, Yang Yiming's full-time driver, is an inconspicuous Mexican-American little person, but he is enthusiastic and reliable, and he deserves to make deep friends.

Penelope and Stella Qin. The relationship between the housekeeper and the master. A super beautiful and a huge rich man have intervened in the cooperation between Yang Yiming and a functional drink manufacturer in the mainland, and his specific identity and future role are still in doubt.

With these connections, the foundation of Yu Xiaochun's imaginary business empire seems to be pretty good.

However, if you can win over a former NBA Most Valuable Player, Adidas' main star in the basketball series that year, even if it is just an agent who does not earn much contract commission, it will be very helpful in making a name for yourself!

But where to find the now elusive "Rose" Ross.

3/

After counting the resources in his hand, Yu Xiaochun almost forgot about the strange father and son of Scott-Kalonsky II and III.

It stands to reason that one of them is a data strategist who is responsible for scoring player reviews; One is a gambler with a perverse personality who can provide ability improvement services to players and should have been most often seen. But I didn't expect that both of them lived in seclusion, and usually only played cards according to their own temperament, and they would not respond to his reply at all unless necessary, so it was understandable that Yu Xiaochun forgot about them during the inventory.

But the matter of contacting Derrick Rose can't get through with Meritis and the Cavaliers, and it seems that they can really only rely on them.

Yu Xiaochun thought of Kalonsky II.

After two days of bombardment of voicemails and text messages, this weird old man with an Eastern European accent finally belatedly called back:

"You're looking for me?"

"Yes, I'm looking for you..."Yu Xiaochun glanced at the time on his phone, "It must be two days." ”

"I'm sorry. Recently, the trading deadline is approaching, and it is too busy. ”

"Oh, you're still involved in team trades." The old man didn't admit himself, and Yu Xiaochun's eyes lit up.

"What do you think?" Kalonsky II rightly said, "Data strategist." Now is the time for my professional advice to make a huge difference and even change the direction of the NBA. ”

"Okay, good," Yu Xiaochun said perfunctorily, and immediately struck while the iron was hot to cut to the chase, "Then I just want you to do me a favor, you can see if it's okay - data strategist." ”

"You say, I'll help if I can." Hearing that his name was affirmed, Kalonsky II couldn't help but feel a little proud, and agreed with a little arrogance.

"It's actually quite simple..."

"Say it quickly."

"It's just that you can help me get in touch with Rose, 'that' Rose, you know."

"Derrick Rose? What are you looking for him? ”

"I want you to run a deal for me."

"Deal!"

The old man who was still full of confidence on the other end of the phone just now suddenly lost his excitement when he heard these two words, and he was completely silent.

"II? …”

"Huh?"

"Can you help me with this?"

Yu Xiaochun asked again.
