"If David is promoted as an idol for people with disabilities, it is indeed a very feasible solution." Stern looked at Silva and nodded with satisfaction, "David, I can agree in principle for you to enter the alliance, but I still have to say hello to the directors of the board of directors in this matter, after all, your status is a bit special." ”

Li Wei didn't expect that he would join the NBA and use the name of a disabled person. However, he also understands that the NBA is a commercial league that pays the most attention to public image, and his level does not meet the standards of athletes, so it is very good to be able to join the league, and the way or method is not important.

As for growing taller or something in the future - who told you that dwarfs can't grow taller and must be dwarfs for the rest of their lives?

It's not right that you are discriminating against people with disabilities in this way!

"In this way, I will sponsor the league for free 30 million dollars, and at the same time say hello to the owners of the teams." Li Weidao.

Stern smiled brightly: "If you come forward to greet you in person, then everyone has to give you face, and our job is too good." ”

In the following time, Li Wei began to communicate with other team owners.

First, he called Heat owner Allison.

Mickey Allison is a cruise ship tycoon who owns the world's largest shipping company, Carnival, with a crew of 28,000 and 5,000 employees.

On the team side, in 1990 he inherited a 60 percent stake in the Miami Heat owned by his father, Ted, and subsequently bought the rest of the shares held by the two partners and invested millions of dollars in the team.

After that, he poached a generation of famous coach Pat Riley from New York and appointed him as president and head coach, with full responsibility for all matters of the team. With the God Operator to strategize, the Heat's record is also thriving!

"Hey, Mikey, I'm David, remember me, right? The owner of the Weiwei Fund on Wall Street is Chinese. ”

"Oh David, hello hello! Can I help you? Alison asked busily.

Businessmen pay attention to the network, a venture capitalist like Li Wei, who is worth nearly 10 billion yuan, can be used at any time when the company needs to inject capital, and of course he will not be offended.

Li Weidao: "It's nothing, seeing that your cruise company is very big, I want to ask if you want to open a Chinese route, I am familiar with that place." ”

"Haha, I really haven't thought about it on the Chinese side, but since you said it, I will definitely send an inspection team over."

Li Wei chatted with him for a few words, and finally said: "By the way, Mickey, you must already know about my acquisition of the New York Knicks, and next season, I am going to play in the team." ”

"What, you're going to play on the team?" Alison was surprised, "You don't seem to be very tall!" ”

Li Wei smiled: "Hahaha, I am very short, so I am classified as a dwarfism, and now Mr. David Stern and I are engaged in a support and care activity for people with disabilities." As a dwarfism patient, I donate $10,000 to people with disabilities for every game I play! ”

Alison said: "I am very supportive of charity activities, but when you play, won't you be bullied by professional players?" ”

Li Wei said: "It's okay, I only play in garbage time and challenge myself!" ”

Alison said: "It's a really scary challenge, and it's all giants who play basketball!" In this way, sponsoring the cause of the disabled is also my share! ”

"Thank you so much!"

After chatting with Alison, Li Wei called Pete Holt, the majority shareholder of the Spurs.

Li Wei, the great-grandson of Benjamin Holt, the inventor of Pete Holt's crawler tractor inventor and the CEO of HoltCat, the largest distributor of crawler tractors in the United States, talked to him about how to export the tractor to China before talking about joining the team.

Holt, of course, didn't care about such a trivial matter as Li Wei playing for the Knicks, and hung up the phone after a few words of blessing.

Next, Li Wei continued to call, with the banner of supporting the cause of the disabled, every boss would not deliberately go against him, after all, everyone is rich, and what is important is to make money with harmony.

Of course, there are also a few bad team owners who are worried that Li Wei will play in person and cause bad effects, but after Li Wei explained that he only played in garbage time, no one had any doubts, and they also blessed Li Wei one after another, and some even said that they would donate together to give love to the disabled.

"OK, it's all done." Li Wei smiled at David Stern.

Stern gave Li Wei a thumbs up: "David, you are out, one top two, no, it's the top hundred!" ”

When Li Wei was preparing to join the team, there was a person on the Internet who became popular. He is none other than Bill Simmons, the head of the Boston Cyberport website and the Boston Sports People section!

It all started a few days ago when Li Wei advertised Simmons.

Thousands of netizens clicked on Simmons' forum through links to Yahoo and other sites, and immediately saw Simmons' text boasting about Li Wei.

The mentally handicapped president also has fans, can this kind of thing be endured?

The masses who were brainwashed by newspapers and magazines were indignant and registered accounts one after another to teach Bill Simmons to be a man!

It's a pity that Bill Simmons, as one of the top critics in the United States in his previous life, is it easy to match? The netizens who wanted to educate him were all educated by him!

Of course, touting isn't Simmons' forte, he's good at black!

You say Garnett, who averages 17 points per game, can't do it?

I also said Ewing can't!

An old, lame, slow guy who has passed his peak, I can knock down three or five when I go to a vegetable market, you say that such a guy can't be sold, do you have a brain?

Laying out the facts and telling the evidence, Simmons finally concluded:

Ewing's team didn't win anything substantial, except for a possible primary playoffs, where he was over-sought after by the media and fans!

Do you think the team would be completely ruined without him?

Wrong, you are ridiculously wrong!

The Knicks' record is likely to be surprisingly good!

Even if the Knicks become bad, it is not the reason why Ewing was traded, but Li Wei wants to be bad!

Ewing's law appeared in advance. However, the Knicks have not experienced the low ebb period after Ewing's major injury in his previous life, so Simmons' conclusions are not so flawless.

Of course, netizens refused to give up like this, so the war on the forum section became more and more intense!

Simmons continued to quote scriptures, tongue battles, and hacked all the stars sold by Li Wei. The onlookers saw that this person had a lotus tongue, was humorous, and indeed knowledgeable, and gradually became his fans!

The masses are like that, they don't mind too much who is black and who is white, and they are also having fun surfing the Internet!

Simmons can make everyone happy, and that's enough!

Simmons himself is also very happy, because his forum board is getting more and more popular, and the servers of the Boston Cyberport website are a little overwhelmed!

He's an internet celebrity!

At this moment, someone posted on the forum again: Don't argue, the mentally handicapped president has left. As a disabled person, it is not easy for him, let's not hack him!

President Li left?

As soon as this news appeared, it once again detonated the entire forum!

At the same time, the major media outside have also reported!

Li Wei gave up his position as president, of course, to prepare for joining the team. The NBA prohibits players from owning shares in league teams, as well as serving in management, and he can't violate it!

At the press conference, Li Wei talked eloquently: "Thank you for your continued concern for the Knicks, the Knicks are the team of my girlfriend and entrepreneurial partner Luo Wei, and she is the real boss." Ernie Grunfield left the company a few days ago, and I was forced to take on the role of president on a temporary basis, and now I am the head coach of the team, and I am very busy, and it is impossible to juggle the work of management......"

A reporter from the New York Times said very unceremoniously: "Mr. Li, when I heard that you resigned as president, I don't know why, I suddenly felt like it was dawn!" ”

The reporters laughed.

Another reporter said: "Mr. Li, you have left, who is the new president of the team?" Is it Mr. KC Jones? ”

Li Wei shook his head and said, "No, the new president is my girlfriend's good friend, Ms. Xia Cuirong from China!" Cui Rong, you can say a few words to everyone! ”

Xia Cuirong couldn't figure out why she, a little secretary, was suddenly promoted to president. Seeing the crowd of black pressure below, she said nervously: "Thank you for supporting the Knicks!" ”

Rumble!

The reporters stopped talking.

Ms. Lovi's best friend? It seems that he doesn't know how to play again!

The Knicks have just been tossed to death by a president who doesn't understand the ball, and now he continues to replace it with a president who doesn't understand the ball, can it work?

"Ms. Xia, what are your plans for the future of the Knicks?"

"Ms. Xia, do you approve of Mr. Li's previous manipulation of the Knicks?"

"Ms. Xia......"

Xia Cuirong frowned, and said a little embarrassedly: "My English is not very good, can you speak slowly?" ”

Xia Cuirong studied English in secondary school, but the English teaching in Xiangyang Town in this era was dumb teaching. In China, she belongs to the kind of special hardwork, and her oral ability is still not in line with reality after going abroad, and she can't understand it when people say it quickly.

The reporters saw that Xia Cuirong's English was so lame, and they didn't talk about it again!

The new president of the Knicks can't even speak English!

Seeing this, Li Wei hurriedly took the microphone and said loudly: "Although Ms. Xia has no management experience in the team, the team has senior managers such as KC, Dennis, and Dick to provide her with advice, and I believe she will become an excellent president." And don't you think it's a great step forward for the NBA to have a female basketball president? ”

"Female president?"

The reporters looked at each other and nodded.

The NBA is a men's sports league, and women are very rare, which also upsets many feminists.

In 1996, Reggie Miller's sister and American women's basketball legend Cheryl Miller became the first female commentator in NBA history, which became a good story for a while.

This year, the league is preparing to hire two more female referees, Violet Palma and Di Candner, to officiate NBA games, and they will also be the first female referees in the history of American professional sports - this is of course to highlight the league's work on women's rights, otherwise who would have nothing to do with two women to blow the whistle?

As for presidents, Susan O'Malley, who has served as the Wizards' commercial president since 1991, is the first and so far the only female president in NBA history.

Susan O'Malley is in charge of business, that is, advertising, selling tickets, selling jerseys, etc., in terms of basketball operations, there has not been a female president, Xia Cuirong has broken this gap, it is the progress of society, it is the improvement of women's rights in the NBA, this can not be black!

At least until Xia Cuirong makes a criticizing deal, it can't be black!

It would be disrespectful to women to open black if they were indiscriminate, and the newspaper office would definitely be surrounded by female protesters!

As a result, major newspapers reported on the matter in a positive way - the NBA has the first female president of basketball operations, she is also the second female president of the team after Susan O'Malley, and the Knicks are doing a good job in terms of gender equality!

It is reported that the new president is a good friend of Knicks boss Ms. Lovi, and Ms. Lovi's boyfriend, Mr. Li Wei, made the whole team into a miasma, and Ms. Xia had to clean up the mess for him!

In various reports, Li Wei tragically became a stepping stone for Xia Cuirong to take office, as if the female president took office because of his predecessor's incompetence.

People are looking forward to the new female president to show her power and lead the team to prosperity!

However, in the team, Li Wei still covered the sky with one hand. Even if Xia Cuirong is named a president, it is impossible not to listen to him!

"Your annual salary, for the time being, is set at one million dollars, the United States likes to pay salaries by the week, well, there are 52 weeks a year, even if you have 20,000 a week. However, taxes in New York are high, and about half of your money has to be used to pay taxes, and the actual amount you get is only about 10,000. Li Wei said.

"10,000 dollars a week?" Xia Cuirong's eyes widened.

This is a dollar, and one dollar can be exchanged for eight dollars in China. 80,000 a week, 240,000 a month, it's terrifying!

If it was an ordinary money worshipper, she would definitely laugh when she saw so much money, but Xia Cuirong is not that kind of person!

She always felt that Li Wei rescued her brother-in-law and gave the Xie family another million, the deal between the two had been reached, and people couldn't be insatiable!

"I can't ask for that much money, and I don't understand anything, it's just a name."

Li Weidao: "In terms of business, you can ask KC Jones and Dennis, and they have the responsibility to answer for you." As for important decisions, you can just ask me. It's okay, we're a family, and this salary is nothing. ”

"No, no, I can't!" Xia Cuirong still refused.

Li Wei had no choice but to say, "Do you think my money is for you?" You have to think about your family, you have to think about your children's future. If one day I'm not with you, you can't even have some money, right? ”

Xia Cuirong's face suddenly turned red, and then she stammered: "Then, then I'll give you a baby, I heard that there is no family planning in the United States." ”

Li Wei was a little speechless, why did the conversation between the two become in this direction again?

However, as long as the female president is willing to accept an annual salary of one million, everything is easy to say, and the salary that the team should give him will be received by Xia Cuirong!
