on the way back.

Li Shengli was in a daze. The long-awaited scholarship has been implemented. It would be a lie to say that he is not excited, but this excitement was quickly forgotten by him, because... the biggest turning point in his life is coming. The NBA arena with the highest level of basketball competition.

...

During the time in Dongka, Li Shengli had a very happy time and got along with a group of happy teammates.

The big brother Alan takes good care of him, the stunned young Tom can always do some weird things, the poisonous Mark will never let go of any opportunity to mock him, and there are Muggle teammates, Eddie and Coach Smith...

A group of friends, doing what they like to do, the happiness of a man is probably as simple as that.

But...he is very clear that there is no feast that never ends.

In the future, everyone will have their own way to go, and will have new friends, and he himself is the same. He clearly rejected Coach Eddie, which seems to be a joke, but in fact, he just doesn’t want everyone to be embarrassed and embarrassed.

"What the hell am I thinking?"

"Forget it, don't think about it, let's think about it... twenty thousand dollars, my God, this needs to be well planned!"

The front foot is still thinking about life melancholy, but the essence of poverty is fully revealed on the back foot. Li Shengli's mind is full of money.

big brother?

You have to get one of this thing, pin it on your trouser belt, it's so fucking foreign!

All kinds of designer clothes?

You have to come some too, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, and if you tidy up yourself, you are still a young and handsome guy.

As for the rest of the money...

Li Shengli, who was about to get rich, suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have any special needs for money. The current board and lodging had been settled, and the reason why he liked money was simply...fear of being poor.

In the end, he decided to send the still huge sum of money to his parents in his hometown.

Want to buy a cow?

When the family is busy with farming, if there is a cow, the parents who have worked hard all their lives can relax a bit...

Damn, buy a chicken cow!

Go directly to seven or eight tractors, I am already so rich!

Damn, buy a chicken tractor!

What kind of land is this planted? Don't plant it anymore. Let mom and dad go on a trip!

Poverty did not limit Li Shengli's imagination. More than 300 ideas about spending money flashed through his mind in one minute, imagining that after he retired, he would not have to do anything and live a good life with eggs.

...

back to the residence.

Thompson and Abdul-Jabbar didn't pay much attention to Li Shengli, because when it was time for dinner, the two brothers were like chickens waiting to be fed, and they didn't have the heroic appearance that dominated the court at the beginning.

"Oh God, you're finally back."

"Quick, sit down quickly. The horse is already preparing dinner."

The two elder brothers urged Li Shengli sacredly and solemnly, waiting for the sumptuous dinner prepared by Ma Qiangdong and Ma Baishao for them.

Speaking of which, Thompson really felt that he was very lucky to find Ma Qiangdong, a top chef of Chinese cuisine. He felt that the food he ate before was as bland as pig feed.

It is no exaggeration to say... Chinese people are the ancestors of the whole world when they eat this piece, and the eight major cuisines are taken out, and the whole universe is the younger brother! Thompson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who know the essence and taste, can't wait.

"Damn, is this an addiction to cooking rice?" Li Shengli rolled his eyes, muttered in his heart, and said, "Today, our coach talked to me about something."

"Oh, God, let me guess, your coach wants you to play for a few more seasons? To be honest, if we were the bishop of Dongka, we would also want to keep you!" Thompson grinned. And Kareem stared straight at the kitchen, completely unwilling to speak.

"Maybe, Coach Eddie told me...the scholarship has been applied for, and some NBA scouts have been found." Li Shengli's head was a little short-circuited, and he didn't know how to deal with these things.

"You don't need to pay attention to these for the time being. Jabbar and I will help you deal with them. The question now is, how do you choose?" Although he can guess the result, Thompson still wants to hear Li Shengli say it himself.

"Choose? Of course I chose to participate in the NBA draft! Although I feel a little sorry for the coach and teammates!" Li Shengli said in a dazed tone.

The brain circuits and values ​​of Americans are different from those of Chinese people. When they heard this, Thompson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were obviously taken aback.

"Oh, God, why do you have such an idea?" Thompson was surprised: "Everyone has the right to choose their own life, you don't need to have any guilt, everyone is the same, everyone will understand you Decided! Hey, old man...you know more about Chinese culture, there seems to be a proverb that is suitable to describe this..."

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar glanced at the illiterate Thompson in disgust, and then said in Chinglish that Li Shengli could understand more easily, "People up! Water down!"

For a moment, Li Shengli was stunned, and sighed... This shit is the ultimate soul translator.

"That's right, that's it." Thompson applauded the witty Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, "So, Lee, you don't have to feel guilty at all. Since you choose to participate in the draft, then... in the days to come, you still need an agent, I have some friends who would be more than happy to help you!"

Agents for NBA players are not just for everyone.

First of all, these agents need to be registered in the NBA. Not only must they have a sufficient understanding of the rules of the league, they must also have certain negotiating skills, be familiar with the laws and tax rules of each state, and help players negotiate contracts and advertise...

Of course, the agent's salary is also drawn from the player's contract salary, generally within 4%, and the specific ratio must be negotiated with the player.

Thompson's explanation made Li Shengli shake his head.

joke? !

I worked so hard to play ball, and somehow an uncle ran out and told me to share the money. Are you sure it's not robbery?

"Oh, God, you may have misunderstood. But...these things are not in a hurry, and later...Wow, dinner?" Thompson's expression was shocked.

I saw Ma Qiangdong came out of the kitchen and brought out several large dishes. Seeing Li Shengli attending, he couldn't help but smile, "Brother Shengli, you are back. Mr. Thompson told me that you are very tired from playing. I'll make up for you. Guess what I prepared for you?"

Ma Qiangdong raised his head, while Li Shengli looked at the dishes on the table and fell into deep thought. As for... Thompson, he grabbed a plate and started to start.

"Oh, God. Li, tell me what this thing is, every piece is tender and chewy, it's so delicious!" Thompson grabbed a plate of spicy boiled bullwhip.

"Shit, how can there be such delicious food in this world, every piece is soft and fragrant, so delicious." Another plate of pork loin was grabbed.

After wolfing down the meal, Thompson obviously forgot that the meal was for Li Shengli to replenish his body, and desperately wanted to grab the last plate, and asked Li Shengli what it was while eating.

"Happy Cow! You can call it... Happy Cow*!"

"Oh God, the name is so apt, I feel so happy after eating it!"
