The God of Basketball

CCTV finally played the words of Jamilin in the interview session: "The reason why we can stand here (to create a Chinese miracle) is because we have put in far more efforts than others. Since taking over the game, I have never had that More than five hours of sleep a day. And Li Zhen, you can hardly see that his jersey is dry during the day, he has been sweating and training."

It even played what Li Chen said, "Cut this part out and don't play it, there is no need to exaggerate these things."

The words of the two reflect how difficult the situation of yellow-skinned basketball workers in the United States is.

This point... even domestic audiences can't imagine... the ubiquitous contemptuous gazes, and the differential treatment at every turn. If you want to stand out, you must not only overcome your opponents, but also overcome natural discrimination.

The domestic audience can only feel the calmness in Li Zhen's words, thinking that he is a hard-working player who is free and easy and doesn't like to complain.

However, Ms. Wang Junzhu who was sitting in front of the TV suddenly became silent and serious.

She can feel the "oppression and exclusion" of Asians in the entire American society, although in academia, it's okay.

But in the basketball world dominated by low-level blacks, yellow skin needs to double and redouble its efforts to win respect on the court.

In fact, this is why she doesn't want her son to play basketball. On the one hand, she, who was born as an intellectual, looked down on these sports. On the other hand, she did not want her son from the elite class to bear the scrutiny and discrimination that he should not have to bear.

When Li Zhen showed a calm smile in front of the camera, Wang Junzhu's heart was tightly squeezed.

For a mother, this smile is far more harmful than crying. Knowing a child is like a mother, she can feel how much hardship her son has endured behind this smile.

Suddenly, the high wall in her heart was overthrown, and her mind changed in an instant.

The strong woman clenched her fists, and she wanted to support her son's basketball career. This kid's paranoid and stubborn style is very much like himself, and his calm and cheerful personality is like his father. Now that he has emerged, so outsiders support him and are proud of him. As his parents, why not be his most solid backing?

The interview on TV is still going on.

Li Zhen then talked about his choice of Chinese nationality again at the age of 18, and also spoke a few words of Hangzhou dialect and Fujian dialect.

This has greatly brought the hearts of the people of the two regions closer.

At least Lu Baosen, the owner of the shoe factory, laughed. He turned his head and said to his old classmate, "Hey, Lao Li. Don't say it... This Li Zhen's Hokkien dialect is quite standard."

Forehead….

Professor Li nodded pretending to be calm, he is very proud now. I thought to myself: The person who taught him is sitting here, can it be standard?

"Let me tell you, his decision to give up American citizenship and choose Chinese nationality is too smart! It will definitely be publicized by the government, you have to know... how strong is the trend of worshiping foreigners in China now, and how many people want to join foreign countries? Nationality..."

He didn't finish his sentence.

Ms. Wang Junzhu corrected: "This choice has nothing to do with being smart or not. He is a Chinese through and through, just because he was born in the United States. There is no giving up, as it should be!"

Ms. Wang Junzhu's three views are very positive. For so many years, she has only received a green card and has not been naturalized.

Moreover, in terms of education and cultural inheritance, they always regard themselves as Chinese. Therefore, Li Zhen can speak Mandarin, Hangzhou dialect, and Hokkien.

Lu Baosen obviously couldn't understand what this classmate's wife was arguing about. The two days of contact made him understand that this classmate's wife has a tough personality and is not easy to get in touch with.

So, he quickly changed the subject.

Talk about the business model of sneakers.

"Once Li Zhen enters the NBA,

He's sure to be scooped up by major sports brands. Behind him is a market of 1.3 billion people, which does not include other parts of Asia and Chinese people all over the world. "

"I feel... as long as he can gain a foothold in the NBA, his commercial value will even surpass Yao Huang. After all, Yao Huang is a center. It is a tradition for centers not to buy shoes, which can be seen from the order. The order I received from Adidas, McGrady It’s the best seller, followed by Arenas, and finally Garnett, Duncan, Howard…”

Having said that, Lu Baosen stopped for a while. He asked two old classmates: "Do you understand?"

Forehead….

A little embarrassing.

Because, I really don't understand. These two have little interest in NBA stars. Although they bought their son signature shoes when they were young, they bought Jordan series.

However, based on their love for their son, they are all interested in continuing to listen.

"If I can sign this player, I will be able to establish my own brand and successfully transform immediately, and I will no longer have to worry about the brand canceling the order and lowering the offer."

Lu Baosen suddenly felt emotional again.

At this moment, Ms. Wang Junzhu suddenly said: "Boss Lu, can you sell your factory to me?"

ah? What? ?

Not only Lu Baosen was stunned, but the husband next to him was also dumbfounded.

They didn't know why Wang Junzhu, who had no interest in the field of sports shoes before, suddenly asked to buy this factory.

But at this time, Ms. Wang Junzhu has taken the initiative.

She even negotiated the price directly.

Lu Baosen was a little surprised, he didn't expect this American "barbarian" to be so resolute.

However, he did have the idea of ​​selling the factory for a long time.

When he was sure that Wang Junzhu was not joking, he immediately asked the life secretary to hand over all the documents he had prepared long ago: because in the meantime, he had already contacted several buyers. The information is readily available.

Wang Junzhu read it carefully for about an hour, and confirmed that there were no discrepancies in the data and that there were no other non-operating debts.

Quickly reached an initialed agreement with Lu Baosen.

The final result was that Wang Junzhu used 700,000 US dollars to purchase all the equipment, workshops, land, workers, etc. of the Tengfei shoe factory.

At this price, it doesn't matter who loses and who makes money, everything is done in accordance with the laws of business.

Only at the end, after the agreement was signed and took effect.

Lu Baosen, who was in the bag for Ann, was relieved, and then asked why he bought his own factory. Ms. Wang Junzhu told him calmly and proudly, "Li is really my son."

Forehead…!

Immediately, Lu Baosen's expression became extremely exciting: shocked...surprised...sigh...helpless...calm!

no way.

It's useless for him to regret it, it's a mother-child relationship. She does not buy Tengfei Shoes, but can also buy other foundries.

Moreover, she also has a large network of sports experts. It is indeed much easier for her to establish a new brand than herself.

In the end, he could only sigh. Then he said, "Can I get a share?"

"I can treat you to a big meal." Ms. Wang Junzhu rarely smiled.

Forehead….

...

If Li Zhen knew that his mother had acquired a shoe company in China, he would be very happy. Because I finally didn't fall into the trap of that exercise equipment. In that nightmare, that was the beginning of the family's downfall. Now I finally got rid of that track and went in another direction.
