(The book is almost a million words, and the chapters are almost 300 chapters.) Hehe. It's so fast. By the way, the fisherman asked for a recommendation ticket. Everyone, help me smash some recommendation votes, help me push the fat man who is the first on the competitive recommendation list O(∩_∩)O~~ (I and the fat man are good engine oil))

Zhuang Fei's home in Minnesota, Scarlett is studying with Zhuang Lin, Zhuang Lin is now a student of one of the best international schools in Minnesota, in the United States for half a year, this wild boy now speaks English all the time, and Scarlett now takes a leave from school for half a year and then stays here to accompany Zhuang Fei and then manage Zhuang Lin, Zhuang Fei now admires Scarlett's ability to ask for leave, if you can give her a grade, at least it has reached the A+ level.

"Zhuang, all I can say now is that your vision is really good"

Zhuang Fei looked at Chris with a smile, and then took a sip of the coffee in front of him noncommittally, seeing Zhuang Fei like this, Chris was also extremely admired, this man is not only good at basketball, but also has a good eye for football.

"It's nothing, it's just that there are some similarities" Zhuang Fei finally shook his head and said, this summer Zhuang Fei borrowed an interest-free loan of $100 million from Paul Allen and then accompanied Paul Allen to play football, this time Zhuang Fei and Paul Allen invested in the Premier League, for Paul Allen, he either doesn't play to play must play big, as the world's top richest man Paul Allen is ready to enter the Premier League The news is even more amazing to football fans all over the world, it can be said that what Paul Allen is doing now is definitely no worse than Zhuang Fei's previous life Abulai, For a time, fans of the major giants of the Premier League such as Manchester United. Liverpool, Arsenal is a rumor, England is very conservative, they don't want their team to be controlled by foreigners, even Paul Allen, one of the richest people in the world, Zhuang Fei knows that Allen's first target is Manchester United, after all, Manchester United is now the strongest team in the Premier League. But it is clear that the tycoon is frustrated, mainly because Allen is so crazy that all Manchester United fans are strongly opposed. This also made Manchester United's management very helpless, and Allen, who was finally hit, directly bought another giant team in England for 250 million pounds, Liverpool, when Allen bought Liverpool, it was already mid-September. Compared with Paul Allen's bumps, Zhuang Fei is too low-key. He knew that he didn't have much money to compare with Paul Allen, and he didn't spend pounds to buy giants like Liverpool and Manchester United, so after Paul Allen lent him the money in place, Zhuang Fei let Chris secretly go to London, and then directly took the debt-ridden Charlton Club to buy the new Premier League team that was in debt because of the expansion of the stadium, and Zhuang Fei's price was not high, almost close to 45 million pounds, Of course, part of the 45 million pounds is repaid on the loan, which is about $75 million at the current exchange rate of 45 million pounds. This is a very small club, so Zhuang Fei's money borrowed from Allen is not used up at all, leaving 5 million US dollars as operating funds, and Zhuang Fei has enough US dollars 20 million US dollars to bring in reinforcements.

Zhuang Fei's acquisition of Charlton was not hindered by Allen's acquisition of Manchester United, for this team it was either acquired or relegated after lack of money and investment, so the fans here did not welcome Zhuang Fei's American investment company, but they did not reject it very much. So Chris basically completed everything for the acquisition in mid-July, and then began to recruit according to Zhuang Fei's instructions. For example, he invited Mourinho, an assistant coach who had just left Barcelona, as the head coach, and then Zhuang Fei also gave him a list of about a dozen people, Chris was very puzzled when he got the list, and he didn't want to do things according to Zhuang Fei's arrangement, but in the end, seeing Zhuang Fei's determined face, the professional agent finally complied. …,

From now on, Chris feels very fortunate that he has obeyed Zhuang Fei's orders. Now Charlton is unbeaten after ten rounds in the Premier League, ranking third in the Premier League with 6 wins and 4 draws, one place higher than Liverpool, which was bought by Paul Allen. Chris still remembers the look of resentment when his former boss looked at him, unlike Zhuang Fei, Paul Allen is really in love with football, this tycoon has been in England and has been in Liverpool now, so Chris also often contacts Allen, Allen has recently taken a fancy to a lot of Charlton Athletic players. Thinking of this, Chris is really completely convinced of this Chinese, if Charlton can finally enter the top three and enter the Champions Cup this year, Charlton will even be able to make tens of millions of dollars a season next season, and it will not take a few years to repay Paul Allen's loan.

"Zhuang, you don't have to be so modest, now Mr. Paul Allen is very keen to bring in Duff from our team, what do you think? And Joe Cole, he's interested," Chris said with a smile on his face.

"You can do these people yourself, but this season the team had better not sell people, the first result, and strive to enter the Champions Cup next season, as for the price of the player, the market price is not lost" Zhuang Fei nodded slightly.

The football club is just a springboard for his capital accumulation, and now playing football can make money, but after 2006, it will be difficult, Zhuang Fei will not play until that time, and he is not ready to make Charlton a giant, he does not have the economic strength, although he can now use some knowledge of his previous life to make a small fight to make Charlton into the ranks of the strong team, but the giants are unlikely, what he has to do now is to sell and buy some people, and then wait for the Russian to enter, It's better to get a hard bite from that Russian. Zhuang Fei knows that his main battlefield is still the United States or the NBA.

"Well, I know what to do" Chris also understood in his heart when he saw Zhuang Fei like this.

Chris returned to the United States for a short time, and immediately after talking to Zhuang Fei, he went to England, where he was needed as the president of the club, and Zhuang Fei was now willing to put all the burden on his shoulders

Zhuang Fei has a lot of things to do after returning to Minnesota, in addition to talking to Chris about his investment, Zhuang Fei now needs to do a lot of things within the Timberwolves, the end of the Olympics is October 1, at this time basically all teams in the NBA have begun to assemble to prepare for next season, and the same is true for the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves except Pierce and Garnett other players under the leadership of the team's new first assistant coach Stephen Green started the season of training, The other two cores of the team, Garnett and Pierce, took two days off at the request of Zhuang Fei.

Zhuang Fei is not involved in the team's specific training affairs now, the Timberwolves' tactical system and style this season will still not change, it is still running and bombing, although D'Antoni is now gone, but this will not affect the offensive system of the Timberwolves, Zhuang Fei and Green are not low in the attainments of running and bombing tactics now, as for the team's defensive system, the Timberwolves have no defensive system at all, it is all individual defense, and the Timberwolves will not have too many problems both offensively and defensively.

It's just that the departure of Mobley and Lewis makes Zhuang Fei a little worried about the Timberwolves' bench problem, Reed and Crawford are now very problematic, far more complicated than Zhuang Fei imagined, but at this time Zhuang Fei has no time to take care of these two people, and now a contract offer from Larry Bird has complicated the atmosphere in the Timberwolves head coach's office.

Zhuang Fei knew in his previous life that Xiao Ao was the last to go to the Pacers to become famous, it can be said that Zhuang Fei was the one who intercepted Larry Bird, and now the Pacers Smiters are retired, which forces Larry Bird to need an interior offensive strength, and those All-Star hearts Larry Bird can't get it, so in the end he can only retreat to find a second but potential interior line to cultivate himself, so the first small forward in history fell in love with O'Neal Jr., and the offer he gave was also extremely generous, Dale Davis traded Xiao Ao one-on-one, The Timberwolves don't have to pay any other price. …,

This offer is indeed very generous, in the eyes of anyone in the league except Zhuang Fei, Dale Davis is not Garnett, Duncan is a top interior lineman, compared to Webb, Malone is also a little worse, but this player's reputation is now much higher than Xiao O'Na, the league's top five interior defenders, this is a player who can have the strength to be selected as an All-Star, and Xiao O's is now just a young center with potential, such an equal substitution is actually a loss for the Pacers in the eyes of the outside world, Zhuang Fei remembered that the Trailblazers were exchanged with the Pacers in his previous life, but for Zhuang Fei, Davis Davis is naturally not as good as Xiao Ao, Dale Davis and Xiao Ao are now A- players, Xiao Ao is stronger in offense than Dale Davis, and Dale Davis is stronger in defense than Xiao Ao, in general, the ability of the two is the same, both are 87, but Xiao Ao has the possibility of going further, but Dale Davis is gone.

Zhuang Fei doesn't want to trade Xiao Ao, that's for sure, but Xiao Ao's 4-year 24 million contract does put a heavy burden on the Timberwolves, although Davis Davis's current salary is not low, but the contract expires next season, if this deal is successful, the Timberwolves will have enough money to renew Ginobili next season and can also renew Jackson now, and Dale Davis can also replace Xiao Ao this season to play the main team, although the offense is almost but it's okay, Therefore, after the end of this season, Wang Zhizhi can also fully grow, so that the Timberwolves do not need to renew the contract of Davis Davis, which is a great temptation for the Timberwolves.

The Pacers can get a future out of this deal, and so can the Timberwolves. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
