。 Portland has always been a relatively large city in the United States, although it cannot be compared with Los Angeles and New York, but it is much larger than Minneapolis, where the Timberwolves are located.

"Mr. Zhuang, our boss wants to invite you to dinner"

Zhuang Fei was a little surprised when he received this invitation, because he didn't know Paul Allen at all, and he had nothing to do with this world-famous billionaire, it was hard to imagine that this top rich man would find him, although he was a little surprised but Zhuang Fei still accepted the invitation.

Paul Allen doesn't live in Portland, but he still has a villa here, Zhuang Fei followed Paul Allen's secretary directly to his house this time, Paul Allen's villa is not big, and compared with Zhuang Fei's manor-style villa of tens of thousands of square meters, it is a small thing, but Zhuang Fei does not have a trace of self-satisfaction, he is still thinking about why this big guy found him.

"Do you want to invite me to coach?" Zhuang Fei smiled dumbly in his heart, if he really came to the Trailblazers, everything else is fine here except for the 'team doctor' curse, the boss not only has money but also spends money, and more importantly, the boss doesn't care about anything, and the coach is also free, but in the end Zhuang Fei still shook his head, maybe Paul Allen has taken a fancy to himself, but Zhuang Fei has no intention of leaving the Timberwolves now, just when Zhuang Fei was thinking about himself, Paul Allen's assistant had already led him into the restaurant, and soon Zhuang Fei saw today's owner. Paul Allen was sitting at the dining table looking at Zhuang Fei with a smile. Paul Allen looked casual, and stood up from his seat after seeing Zhuang Fei.

"Mr. Zhuang, Coach Z, I have admired the name for a long time" Paul Allen was very kind, there was no big shelf, the two chatted for a while and then sat down at the table, Zhuang Fei could clearly see that Paul Allen was a little excited.

"Mr. Zhuang, you know what. I thought I would definitely lose this game, but I didn't expect the team to win this time," Paul Allen said to Zhuang Fei with a smile in his eyes. And Zhuang Fei was a little embarrassed when he heard him say this, and the Timberwolves lost away in this game. Although the Timberwolves have been chasing points in the end with the strange three-inside formation invented by Zhuang Fei, they still failed to overtake in the end, after all, they are too far behind and the Trail Blazers are also an extremely strong team. In addition, the flaws of this new tactic on the defensive end are indeed a bit big, although the embarrassment is embarrassing, Zhuang Fei is not disappointed, it is just an away game where the team has not gained a stable foothold, and the next game Timberwolves will not be like this.

"Mr. Zhuang, do you know, I was shocked when you were chasing points in the fourth quarter, although I am not a professional basketball person, but I also know that you are better than Mr. Dunleavy, Mr. Dunleavy is scared enough by you" Paul Allen suddenly laughed when he said this, and so did Zhuang Fei. Although the Trail Blazers won the game, the team's head coach Dunleavy made a big mess, the coach in the last moment in order to defend Zhuang Fei's three-inside strange formation, after the timeout accidentally sent six players, until the referee did not find out after the serve. In the end, Dunleavy was given a technical foul, in Zhuang Fei's opinion, the Trail Blazers coach was too nervous, Zhuang Fei was too anxious, and the chase was too fierce, but for Paul Allen and other fans, Dunleavy was a little frightened by Zhuang Fei. Or maybe it's stunned.

"Mr. Dunleavy is also a very good head coach" Zhuang Fei laughed and put down the red wine glass in his hand, Paul Allen's red wine is much higher than Zhuang Fei's. Zhuang Fei usually likes to drink this kind of foreign stuff elegantly, but he is a little unaccustomed to the liquor in his hometown, so as soon as Zhuang Fei sat down, he began to sweep up these high-end red wines on the table. …,

"I know, otherwise he wouldn't have been invited by us, but he is a little inadequate compared with Mr. Zhuang" Paul Allen looked at Zhuang Fei with burning eyes, the meaning of which is already obvious, recently because of the Lakers' civil strife, the relationship between Zhuang Fei and the Lakers has been hyped by the media again, but in the end, everyone magically found that not only the media in Los Angeles are frantically pursuing Zhuang Fei, but other media such as Boston, Washington and even Portland are frantically courting Zhuang Fei. Obviously, they also represent the meaning of each team, and it is obvious that now Paul Allen, the owner of the Trail Blazers, has begun to throw an olive branch to Zhuang Fei. It's just that Paul Allen was a little disappointed that Zhuang Fei didn't seem to react, and he spoke again.

"Actually, since I bought the team in 1988, I wanted to make the Trail Blazers to the top, but I was too naïve at the time, it was the time when the Pistons, the Lakers, and Boston were competing for supremacy, and it was difficult for other teams to win the championship except for these three teams, and at that time the best players in the league were there, until the Bulls rose again when these three teams fell, and we were very close to the championship, but in the end we failed, and now although the team has always been a good team, But I'm no longer hopeful, Portland's luck seems to have been bad, and I now know that a team like this is not going to win a championship at all," Paul Allen sighed sadly.

"Mr. Paul, I may not be able to come to the Trail Blazers" Zhuang Fei also sighed, although he really doesn't like Glenn Taylor's personality, but there is no doubt that Glenn Taylor really respects himself, although there are also differences in the concepts of the two, but the current team still has the final say, in the face of the team he has cultivated, how can Zhuang Fei leave, but if he really leaves the Timberwolves in the future, maybe the Trail Blazers are also a good choice.

"I know, but Mr. Zhuang, I'm very unwilling now, I hope I can have a chance in the future" Paul Allen shook his head with a gloomy look and actually smiled: "However, I bought this team for 70 million back then, and now it seems that even if I can't win the championship, I will make it."

"Mr. Paul's vision has always been world-famous, and professional sports teams are also worth investing, although they may not be able to make much money a year, but the value retention ability of professional sports teams is first-class," Zhuang Fei was stunned at first, and then smiled a little flatteringly.

"Mr. Zhuang also has research on investment?" Paul Allen was a little surprised, Zhuang Fei was right. Professional teams don't make much money a year, but the team he bought for only 70 million back then has a market value of hundreds of millions or even close to 200 million, more than doubled in ten years, and investing in sports can indeed preserve the value of assets.

"No, I don't know anything about this, it's just my perception as a professional coach" Zhuang Fei smiled and shook his head, Zhuang Fei is not interested in these investment and financial management things at all,. He didn't know how to invest when he was reborn, and he didn't plan to invest it, and his current money was enough to support his family even if he didn't work for the rest of his life. The most important thing is that Zhuang Fei is only interested in basketball, his dream is still basketball, and nothing else matters.

"Huh. I already have a team in basketball and football now, and the development of Major League Soccer has been good recently, and I want to get a football team, I don't know what Mr. Zhuang thinks" Paul Allen looked at Zhuang Fei with a smile on his face, and obviously said to Zhuang Fei' I don't know anything, even some professional investors may not be able to see the future prospects of professional sports, Zhuang Fei is just a coach, how can he say such a thing, but Paul Allen just doesn't know that Zhuang Fei is a reborn, and naturally knows that professional sports will develop rapidly in a peaceful society in the future. Facing Paul Allen's examination, Zhuang Fei could only smile helplessly, and then thought about it and said. …,

"Football is a good investment. But you shouldn't invest in the major leagues," Zhuang Fei said calmly, while Paul Allen's eyes lit up and he continued to look at Zhuang Fei expectantly.

"The NFL and NBA are both top professional leagues, but Major League Soccer is not the top professional league in soccer. There are also the five major European leagues on this, if Mr. Paul is interested in football investment, he can invest in the teams of the five major European leagues" Zhuang Fei shook his head after speaking, he didn't know much about this thing. However, he knows that the major leagues in the United States have sunk after the beginning of the storm, the United States is not very interested in football, and in the world, the major leagues in the United States have not done anything because they have been suppressed by the five major leagues, so it can be said that the major professional leagues in the United States have no prospects for the development of football leagues. But at this time, Paul Allen is naturally not very clear about the future.

"Well, what Mr. Zhuang said is right, fortunately I haven't started yet" Paul Allen nodded and then shouted to the assistant who picked up Zhuang Fei not far away, Paul Allen: "Chris, stop the offer to Washington DC United" The assistant nodded after hearing Paul Allen's instructions and left, obviously going to do things according to Paul Allen's instructions, which made Zhuang Fei a little flattered, but he didn't expect his words to achieve such an effect. This is also Paul Allen's own cleverness, and he can understand it at all.

"So Mr. Zhuang thinks I should invest in Serie A, now the top league in football is Serie A" Paul Allen continued to smile and looked at Zhuang Fei, it is obvious that this world-class rich man is also a sports fan, and he seems to know football very well, and now Serie A is known as the small World Cup, which is naturally the most promising place for investment in Zhuang Fei. However, to Paul Allen's surprise, Zhuang Fei still shook his head.

"Italy's domestic economic environment is too poor for investment, of course, Spain is too small, and the French league is too small, and the best places are Germany and England" Paul Allen was stunned when Zhuang Fei finished speaking, and then burst into laughter.

"Mr. Zhuang, I found that you are really condescending to be an NBA head coach, you should come to my talking company, I will let you directly manage my investment company, with an annual salary of 10 million and a commission, Mr. Zhuang, what do you think" Paul Allen looked at Zhuang Fei with a smile, of course, he must be a joke for a while, although his endorsement is good, it is basically not attractive to Zhuang Fei, and he himself knows it.

"Mr. Paul, don't be sarcastic about me, I'm just a little basketball coach" Zhuang Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head, he knew his own skills, these were just some experience talks in later generations, not to mention any skills, and he was not prepared to pretend to be a ghost and pretend to be a big-tailed wolf. In the face of Zhuang Fei's bitterness, Paul Allen didn't care, and continued.

"Does Mr. Zhuang have any plans to invest with me, I have decided to invest in the Premier League, I don't like that place in Germany very much" Paul Allen thought about it and looked at Zhuang Fei tightly, he wanted to invest with Zhuang Fei.

"I don't have the money to play professional sports" Zhuang Fei was also a little moved by Allen's words, although he is not short of money now, but now it is also very difficult to stay in his hands, and it will definitely depreciate in the future, if he can really catch the line of Paul Allen and enter the American financial circle, then it is definitely a good thing for Zhuang Fei. In the United States, every circle has its own rules, and it is not difficult for this circle to meddle in the things inside.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhuang, if Mr. Zhuang has no money, then I can provide you with a personal interest-free loan in my personal name," Paul Allen smiled mysteriously.

"Interest-free loans?" Zhuang Fei was stunned again, is there such a good thing? Why?

"Of course, although it is interest-free, if Mr. Zhuang can't repay it within ten years, then I hope Mr. Zhuang can come to coach the Portland Trail Blazers and use his salary to offset the arrears" Paul Allen's smile was a little bright this time, and this time Zhuang Fei could only smile bitterly. It turned out that he was going to set up a trick here, but Paul Allen's proposal Zhuang Fei was really hard to refuse. …,

"Okay, I agreed" Zhuang Fei smiled and nodded, Zhuang Fei doesn't think that he can't pay off his debts in 10 years, now Zhuang Fei's annual income has reached more than 20 million US dollars, and it will definitely increase in the future, at least more than 200 million in ten years, Paul Allen doesn't know that Zhuang Fei can earn so much every year, and the coach of the NBA is now four or five million a year in addition to paying taxes, and investing in a top professional team without 100 million US dollars can't play at all, Therefore, in Paul Allen's view, as long as Zhuang Fei agrees, it will be in his hands.

"Hehe, then it's decided" Paul Allen squinted and smiled at Zhuang Fei, looking like he had succeeded in his plan. However, he didn't expect that Zhuang Fei was a white wolf in an empty glove.

Just as the two foxes were smiling, Paul Allen's assistant named Chris returned.

"Zhuang, since you plan to play sports investment, then Chris and I will lend it to you, he is a top student at Harvard University, has a lot of investment experience, and may be able to help you"

"Chris, you will follow Mr. Zhuang in the future"

Zhuang Fei looked up at the white man in his thirties when he heard this, and the white man just nodded, obviously agreeing. In the end, Zhuang Fei also nodded.

"Then thank you, Mr. Paul" Zhuang Fei said with a smile, he has always lacked a team to deal with his own economic affairs, he was originally going to form a team, but there has been no good candidate, this Chris looks very mature and stable, and he has mixed with Paul Allen, so he naturally has no problem in terms of ability. And Zhuang Fei is not afraid that he will pit himself, the agent who can be trusted by Allen is naturally not bad in terms of character, and it is definitely much better than going out to find one by himself.

Unexpectedly, this time he actually solved the problem of his agent, and Zhuang Fei was very happy in his heart. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come
