Chapter 284: Fire Fighting

Greg Vic has never been alert to Tim Duncan's movements, and he has wishful thinking that Duncan will definitely re-sign with the Spurs.

But the day after the call, big news broke.

Hoop Headlines – "Pop Ben Wallace Has Joined Detroit Pistons, Magic Has Got Grant Hill!" ”

Hoop Sports once again grabbed the front of all the media, and when everyone thought Grant Hill would go to the Lakers, Hoop Sports was the first to break the news that Grant Hill might have joined the Magic.

Los Angeles (Mitch Kupchak) didn't believe the revelations because he thought Grant Hill was on the cards.

But that afternoon, the magic was officially announced.

"We officially completed a trade with the Detroit Pistons, using Ben Wallace and Chatki Atkins to get Grant Hill from the Pistons."

The Pistons also announced: "We will match the Lakers' offer to re-sign Grant Hill for 100 million per year, and send him to the Magic in exchange for Ben Wallace and Atqui Atkins ......"

Mitch Kupchak was stunned!

Grant Hill is gone?

After Phil Jackson got the news, he quickly found Mickey Kupchak and became angry: "Mickey, I don't know what you're doing?" Why not leave Bruce behind? ”

Within two days of the transfer market opening, the Lakers lost Bruce Bow, but at that time, Phil Jackson knew that the team was pursuing Grant Hill, so he didn't make a sound, and now Grant Hill is gone, and Bow can't come back.

Phil Jackson naturally blew up.

Mitch Kupchak frowned, if it weren't for Phil Jackson's cards being big enough and the salary being too high, he would really want to open Phil Jackson.

But for now, Phil Jackson's position is stable, so Kupchak can't offend him, Kupchak can only comfort Phil Jackson in a soft voice, and promise: "Phil, don't worry, we will continue to bring in reinforcements, if we can't win Grant Hill, we will find a way to win Tim Duncan!" ”

In addition to Maddie's early contract extension, the two biggest gods of the free market are Tim Duncan and Grant Hill.

Now that Grant Hill has joined the Magic, the only target the Lakers can target is Tim Duncan.

In the presence of Phil Jackson, Kupchak dialed Duncan's agent, Charles Banks.

"Hello, Mickey......"

After some conversation, Charles Banks was also a little surprised that the Lakers actually wanted to sign Tim Duncan!

Why do you want to sign it too?

Charles Banks was quick to tell Mitch Kupchak: "Okay, Mitch, to tell you the truth, now that we're in Orlando, you should know what I mean......"

"Shet! It's them again! Kupchak expletive.

But then, he tried hard to invite Charles Banks and Tim Duncan to come to Los Angeles to have a look, and Charles Banks naturally agreed, and it was naturally a good thing for Duncan and Charles Banks to have a team join the bidding.

……

In the Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, Qiao Hai has already persuaded Qiao's father.

took out 300,000 RB to buy a local restaurant from the second uncle, and then invested another 10,000 RB and began to renovate.

Qiao Hai is ready to change the local restaurant into a high-grade Western restaurant, Jinling, the per capita income has risen rapidly, the living standards of the people have been improving, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and it is also one of the fastest-growing cities in the Celestial Empire.

Qiao Hai believes that as long as it is done well, the business of Western restaurants in Jinling will not be bad, and there is even a chance to make Qiaojia Western Restaurant a Western food brand before others.

Of course, the name of the western restaurant will not be Qiao's house, but a name that Qiao Hai set early on - Toronto Western Restaurant! In the future, Toronto's western restaurant can also be made into a café, fast food restaurant or even a cafeteria......

In addition to the fine decoration, Qiao Hai is also preparing to invite a Michelin-starred chef from Canada, plus his team, to build Qiao's Toronto Western Restaurant into a Michelin-starred restaurant in the Celestial Empire.

At that time, Qiao's father could only hand over the business of the fast food restaurant to others first, and sit in charge of the western restaurant himself.

Mom and Dad will be able to be idle, at least not so busy.

It will take a month or two to complete the renovation, and during this time, Qiao Hai can use his salary to pay back the money invested in the sea water first, and there is still a surplus, just to hire a Michelin-starred chef.

Qiao Hai's abacus clanged.

After the renovation of the western restaurant began, he went from Jinling to the magic capital.

This time when he returned to China, in addition to going home to see his parents and helping Qiao's father get a Western restaurant, Qiao Hai was also preparing to spread out hoop at the station of the Celestial Empire.

The funds can be derived from the revenue of hoop America, but the money is not enough for the time being, so this time when he returned to China, Qiao Hai just came to the first station, he had to find a few talents for the station first, and Qiao Hai also had a goal.

Hoop Celestial Empire, Qiao Hai is going to give him a middle name, called Huoping.

The fire will also be divided into two parts, one for the press area and the other for the forum.

In the news area, Qiao Hai is ready to find Yu Jia, who has visited the grizzly bear with CCTV, to be responsible, and in the forum area, Qiao Hai is ready to hand over Zhang Xinglin to be responsible, and Qiao Hai still trusts these two CCTV interns.

Because one of them became a well-known basketball commentator later, and the other was also a well-known copywriter.

"Mr. Joe."

In a teahouse in the magic capital, Yu Jia and Zhang Xinglin said hello respectively.

Qiao Hai nodded and sat down.

"You should know why I'm looking for you, right?"

Yu Jia nodded: "I know, Mr. Qiao." ”

"Then I'll make a long story short, half a month later, I will appoint a business manager from the United States to come over and sign a contract with you, the station is called Hoop Heavenly Empire, the middle name is Huoping, Yu Jia, you are the director of Huoping News Department, Zhang Xinglin, you are the director of the Forum Department."

Qiao Hai continued: "After you sign a contract with the company, I will send a technical team from the United States to set up a good station, at that time, Lao Yu, your task is to find a few reporters, report domestic sports news, Xiao Zhang, find a few writers, write according to the news channels of the American hoop, and organize the forum work, if you don't understand, you will go to the United States hoop to learn and learn experience......"

After Yu Jia and Zhang Xinglin confirmed to sign a contract with HOOP, everything was easy.

Huopu's news channels can be obtained from HOOP, all of which are first-hand information, and the best BA media in China at this time is the Basketball Herald hosted by Su Qun, but Su Qun's news channels are obviously not as good as HOOP Sports, and this alone can crush other BA media in China.

Moreover, other sports classified news reports of hoop sports are being rolled out, and Huopu will also introduce news reports from other sports classifications, and after everything is rolled out, Huopu will become the largest sports media station in China.
