Chapter 25: Considerations from China
Meanwhile, Kenan Kent, the Kings' fat scout, returned to his home in Saramento, where he knocked on the manager's door unhurriedly after a night's rest.
With the approval of General Manager Jeff Petri, Kent pressed the doorknob, pushed the door open and walked in.
Kings general manager Jeff Petrie is a middle-aged man with curly brown hair and a garlic nose who was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 8th pick in the first round of the 1970 NBA Draft, was named NBA Rookie of the Year in his rookie season and was named to the NBA All-Star team twice.
He is also the first person in NBA history to win both Rookie of the Year and Manager of the Year.
Petri saw Kent come in, first stood up and shook Kent's hand, then motioned for Kent to sit down in the chair in front of his desk.
"Kennan, I'm so sorry to give you such an urgent task, this time it's hard for you, run so far!"
Kent hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Jeff, your vision is really powerful, the Li Kaiming you said is a very talented player, if we can select him, we will definitely be able to go further in the playoffs!" ”
Petri laughed, "I just happened to see TNT's show that day and noticed this young man, but I only heard about it, so I urgently sent you to Tulsa for a field trip, listen to what you mean, you have a high opinion of this player!" ”
Ken nodded, "Yes, this guy has all the qualities of an excellent insider, his basic skills are extremely solid, and his physical talent is also very good, this is the scouting report I finally got it, you can take a look", and then he took out a few A4 papers from his bag and handed them over.
Petri took it, looked down and looked closely, "Hmm...... Height 2.10 meters, arm span 2.26 meters? The reach is excellent and weighs less than 100 kg? It's still a little thin and weak, but it's harmless, and the bounce is also very good, basically the best in the same position......"
Kent echoed, "Yes, this guy's physical talent is extremely good on the inside, it doesn't matter if he is light and weak, it only takes one season to practice when he enters the league, the only thing that is doubtful is his Achilles tendon, I don't know if he can withstand the test of the professional league......"
Petri rubbed his chin with his fingers, "Well, that's a problem, the taller the person, the bigger the injury, he's also been seriously injured, and from what I've observed, the yellow body's body is not very resistant to injury, right?" ”
Ken nodded, "Although the sample is a bit small, but the physique of Asians is relatively easy to get injured, Yao Ming has been injured after gaining weight, and he has been reimbursed this season, and another high-ranking Xiu Yi Jianlian from Huaguo is also plagued by injuries, and he has only played 52 games this season......"
Petri's brows were tightly twisted together, forming an exaggerated ball of meat between his eyebrows, he thought silently for a while, and then said, "This is a lottery ticket, we don't have to make a decision lightly, or observe for a while, just as March Madness has begun, if he has enough strength to enter the NBA, I believe he should play accordingly!" ”
——
Huaguo, Fujian Province, Hongxin Erke headquarters.
A beautiful girl in professional attire and patent leather heels strode briskly through the crowd, her high ponytail dancing happily with her steps, leaving behind a string of clattering heels against the ground.
Jiang Shan walked to the door of the office with the manager's office sign hanging at the door, stretched out her slender white fingers, and lightly clicked on the door a few times.
Tuk tuk!
"Please come in!"
Hearing the voice from the office, Jiang Shan immediately pushed the door in.
In the office of 30 square meters, a middle-aged man was looking down at the documents, and only raised his head when he heard footsteps.
Seeing that it was Jiang Shan, a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he immediately put down the document in his hand, "It's Shanshan, why are you free to come to me today?" ”
Jiang Shan casually threw the folder in her arms on the desk, and then sat down on the luxurious sofa next to her, stretching comfortably, "Of course I'm here to report work, hehe." ”
Looking at this daughter who was still chic and capable in the last second and lively and naughty in the next second, Jiang Xuemin shook his head with a little headache, "Shanshan, this is not at home in the company, you don't have a standing appearance like this, you don't have a sitting appearance, what kind of system is seen by others." ”
Although he said it harshly, there was not the slightest reproach in his tone.
Jiang Shan looked up to the sky exaggeratedly and sighed, "Alas! I'm a high-achieving student of Peking University, just come to your small shoe factory as an assistant, I have been busy for several days to find a way to make money for you, but someone still doesn't appreciate it, and I can't afford to hurt it! Let's go! ”
After saying that, he pretended to get up and leave.
Jiang Xuemin stood up suddenly, walked to Jiang Shan's side in a few quick steps, and pressed Jiang Shan back, with a hint of excitement on his face, "Shanshan, what did you just say?" What ways to make money have you found? ”
Although his daughter is usually eccentric, she is also a real top student of the School of Economics and Management of Peking University, and she put forward several excellent plans within a few months after arriving at the company, so that the company completed the quarterly target one and a half months ahead of schedule, so now in his eyes, Jiang Shan is not only his baby daughter, but also the company's cash cow.
Jiang Shan turned her head, her cherry mouth pursed high, and she could almost hang an oil pot, "Hmph, Manager Jiang just said that people didn't stand up!"
Jiang Xuemin sat down next to her, with a smile on his face, "Shanshan, without your plan, there would be no company today, how could Dad criticize you?" How about Dad treat you to a big dinner tonight, and I'll make amends to you. ”
Jiang Shan turned her head, her big eyes flickered a few times, "Really? ”
Jiang Xuemin nodded, "Lying to you is a puppy!" ”
Jiang Shan snorted coldly, "This is pretty much the same." ”
Jiang Xuemin rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "That, Shanshan......"
Jiang Shan stood up, picked up the folder from the table and handed it to Jiang Xuemin, "Haven't you always wanted to build the company into a well-known sports brand?" Now's your chance! ”
Looking at his daughter, who had become a strong woman in the workplace in front of him, Jiang Xuemin was stunned for a moment, took the folder and asked, "What opportunity?" ”
Jiang Shan pointed to the document, motioned to Jiang Xuemin to look at the content, and then said, "If you want to build a well-known sports brand, a well-known spokesperson is indispensable, if you were asked to choose a spokesperson, who would you choose?" ”
Jiang Xuemin didn't hesitate to say a name, "Yao Ming!" ”
Jiang Shan sneered, "If you don't look at the cost, he is indeed the most suitable, but Dad, don't forget, we are just a slightly famous shoe factory now!" ”
Jiang Xuemin looked at her, "Then what do you mean......"
Jiang Shan pointed to the document in Jiang Xuemin's hand again, "What we have to do is to discover a spokesperson who has not yet grown up, in my opinion, this person is the most suitable ......"
Jiang Xuemin hurriedly opened the folder in his hand, looking at the slightly handsome face on the first page, he read out the name next to him with a little doubt, "Li Kaiming?" It sounds like a Chinese person, why haven't I heard of him? ”
