My vision is different

Chapter 251 The 2013 Draft
The NBA Legends Game is about to be held in Huaguo. Although there is still a long time before the start of the game, as a basketball feast held recently in China, the fans are far ahead of the Basketball Association. Who will come, who will come, whose What about the historical status and so on.

Fans are keen on such discussions and are happy to rank these stars.

McGrady, who failed this year but is well-known, decided to come to China to participate early on. Kobe and Lin Shaojie will also participate as "special representatives".

In fact, Kobe alone is very appealing, and Lin Shaojie is added, that is the level of bombing.Of course, unlike those "retired" players who "played the autumn wind" to help promote the NBA, Lin Shaojie and Kobe only played in two or three games at most, and it is unclear how many minutes Kobe can play because of his injury.

But for the inside of the Basketball Association, they are in pain and happiness at this time. Although Lin Shaojie's "crossing the ocean" was not cultivated by them, at least half of his ass is not, and the other half falls on the education department.

Don't ask for forever, but ask for once owned!
But looking at other people's money in their pockets, I think that the little giant had to pay a lot of money to go out when he traveled across the ocean. Now that kid doesn't pay a penny, and he doesn't know how to give back after earning so much a bit.

Look at those two accounts again, one is under the supervision of the education department, and the other is your own. It is still invisible, earmarked for special purposes, and not everyone can have a hand, which is disgusting.

After working on it for a long time, I still can't move the money. As the helmsman, Xin Lancheng can also feel the following "I'm about to move!"

But I believe that Lan Chengneng is the kind of person who is open to money for the sake of three melons and two dates?

Among other things, he is still impeccable in this regard, and things may not be done very well, but the popularity at that time was like this, the limitations were there, and the general environment was like this, but it was impossible for him to stretch out his hands randomly. .

What's more, he sees farther than others, and his family relationship is also there. After all, it is impossible to make a principled mistake, so when the meeting was held, Xin Lancheng was very straightforward.

"What is Xiaolin's status in the basketball world now? I believe everyone here understands that it is their business to have the ability to make money. Some of us can't stare at other people's pockets and envy others.

When I say this, some people may not understand it, and feel that I am doing too much.

As for me, I put the words here, how many people read some of our domestic propaganda outlets on Twitter, do you know?Don't you know how many people are staring at Xiaolin?
What's going on outside, don't you have points?Those ghosts and monsters are all staring at you. I think Comrade Kobayashi is very conscious. In some interviews when he won the championship, even the "beep beep" interviews, they are just laying mines waiting for you to step on them.

It was not easy for Xiao Lin to go to Jiangnan University. I think you all know that some people want to find trouble with the education department for the money in the account, and complain that they didn't take care of it. When is this time? You guys Let’s make a fuss first, a person without party affiliation knows better than you, I don’t know, how can you take in those few million, you can’t wait to get it in your own bowl, it’s not ashamed to throw it away! "

Xin Lancheng's words clearly spoke to some people's pain points.Anyway, since London last year, the men's basketball team has become a favorite. Many people "come from afar" to get a gold plate. It used to be considered a trivial department in the country, and some people came to play for a while. Honor and glory.

In order to add some brilliance to the body, it looks like a human being.

"But... But why don't we sign some of the endorsements we received for him? With the resources we found, he only needs to put pen to paper."

"Then you also know that 'we' did it for him. You see him earning millions of dollars overseas, but you don't take a good look at it. You dare to agree to any rags, and you don't first Ask the other party, do you still understand the most basic principles of being a human being, money is not earned this way, if you want to earn that money, you have to discuss it with others, how can it be possible to force others."

"We also looked for it, but he refused to agree. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Later, he stopped answering the phone. This kind of unprincipled person is not worthy of our praise."

"Praise? Are you kidding me?"

"Bang!" With a slap, Lao Xin slapped the table heavily, and the tea in the teacup splashed everywhere.

"Let me ask you, who is relying on whom now? To put it bluntly, if they really stay in the beautiful country and don't come back, they can play in the NBA and earn a lot of money. If they really play immigration Do you think any of us here can stand it, you or me?"

What Xin Lancheng said made everyone's faces pale. At this moment, the door of the office was opened, and the visitor whispered a few words in Xin Lancheng's ear, and left soon.

Xin Lancheng had a happy face, but was quickly hidden by him again.

"Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, don't talk about anything else, I just want to emphasize one point. This time when Xiao Lin comes back, I hope that people who are not related will not bother him. Those three melons and two dates in your hands will not be noticed by others. If there is anything unethical, the money will be refunded as soon as possible, and don't make trouble until nothing is achieved, and you will get yourself into it instead.

In addition, let me tell you one more thing. Kobayashi and Coca-Cola have reached a cooperation agreement. We don’t know the exact amount of the transaction, but according to speculation from overseas financial media, the total must be more than one billion, and Kobayashi is among them. We don’t have the right to ask how much we earn.”

Xin Lancheng's words caused many people's expressions to change, sometimes sunny and sometimes cloudy.

Sure enough, he is still old-fashioned and generous. Thinking about the ones in his hands, they are really three melons and two dates.

"Then, do you have ours? Is it one billion Chinese coins?"

"How could there be us!"

This time, Xin Lancheng looked mentally handicapped at a guy who had been here for more than half a year and was not even gilded. If it wasn't for his father, he would have been swallowed by people for a long time.

"He makes money based on his ability, and this money is not his salary, nor is it the endorsement we introduced. He made his own investment. If it was really given to you, would you have any face?
Besides, earn Chinese currency in the beautiful country?Our face is not so big now, in the final analysis, those who are capable can go anywhere, and those who are not capable are superfluous everywhere.”

Xin Lancheng, who is shaking his hands, is a little more cute at this time, so he is not afraid. Besides, he won a medal in basketball, which is his confidence. Of course, what others see is only Comrade Lao Xin's family background.

In turn, he looked at someone in the crowd, who was glowing red like a steamed crab.

Just looking at the appearance, it is really dignified, but in fact it is just a straw bag, not much different from other straw bags!
The news of the Pacers winning the championship has not yet passed, and heavy news came from the capital market.

BodyArmor from New York, after two years of dormancy, with Lin Shaojie's large sum of money entering, has exploded with unlimited potential since the end of last year. After Kobe joined it, it has made great progress. It was only half a year in 2013 sales have hit a record high.

In part of the agreement that Coca-Cola reached with it, only part of the sales channels on the east coast were opened, and sales increased by more than [-]% month-on-month, and this was only an effect within a week.

Taking advantage of the "evil wind" that the Pacers won the championship, BodyArmor has become the darling of the beverage market in the United States. .George, once the son of Indian city Danny Granger and other stars, all became its brand ambassadors.

The battle between Coca-Cola and Pepsi, Gatorade and BodyArmor started almost simultaneously.

Coca-Cola invested heavily. Although the outside world has not clarified the rights and responsibilities of both parties, the shares, the acquisition amount, etc., it does not hinder the bold speculation and assumptions of the financial media. After all, Coca-Cola has been confirmed to be its largest shareholder, and the valuation given by BodyArmor Compared with Lin Shaojie's shareholding in BodyArmor at a billion dollars, the latter is not a secret.

Lin Shaojie relied on money and personal influence to become its largest individual shareholder, taking [-]% of the shares, and [-]% after Kobe took over.At that time, in order to show respect for the founding team, Kobe also "magnanimously" gave up [-]% of the shares to the founding team.

Now, the two NBA stars are the biggest individual winners, alongside BodyArmor's founding team.

The one billion dollar news that Xin Lancheng received was only a preliminary estimate. According to many media, BodyArmor, whose sales are currently less than one billion dollars, has already exploded with great potential.

The entire market responded quickly to Coca-Cola's move, because according to relevant forecasts, the sports drink market will reach at least [-] billion in five years, with an average annual growth rate of more than [-]%.

And BodyArmor, as a leader among the emerging forces, years of deep cultivation and the joining of new and old stars such as Lin Shaojie and Kobe have contributed to the take-off of this product. In the market, the Pacers' championship has also deepened the sports drink. product appeal.

Healthy and sugar free.

Therefore, when many authoritative financial media speculated that the relevant investment amount exceeded US$[-] billion, it almost shocked everyone in the know.

However, Coca-Cola’s increase in market value can be regarded as a positive feedback from the market. The value-added part not only makes up for the cash expenditure brought by the acquisition, but also increases more and more, which is obviously optimistic.

As Coca-Cola's largest shareholder, Warren Buffett, "of course" stood up as his platform.

"For an elderly person like me, it's not bad to have some of these drinks!"

At that moment, Buffett, who seemed to raise his glass to invite him, looked like an advertisement for a golden throat lozenge, holding a canned BodyArmor drink in his hand, showing a stern smile. It was such a picture that made the market value of Coca-Cola appear upward. fluctuations.

All of these prove that their acquisition is not only a short-term commercial success, but also highly optimistic about the future layout.

At this moment, regardless of the specific authenticity of the news, or even how much profit Lin Shaojie's [-]% shares have gained from it, at the very least, the title of billionaire should be fully implemented on Pacers Tanhuaxiu.

After winning the championship, Lin Shaojie could not be interviewed. His spare time activities were not so rich, but Kobe could.

"Whoever said that Lynn is open to money, no, he is still the largest individual shareholder of BodyArmor. Of course, I will not disclose the specific share, not only him, but also me. We are very optimistic about the future of BodyArmor.

Also, Lynn may take a valuable stake in Coca-Cola to offset the cash outlay for the acquisition.In my eyes, he is a very discerning 'investor,' and believe me, no one in the NBA understands investing better than him. "

Kobe’s words were just taken as a joke by many people. The story of one lucky person making a fortune with another lucky person is not unheard of in the beautiful country. It is enviable to keep wealth.

Lin Shaojie, who was busy with miscellaneous affairs, did not appear in front of the media until the draft meeting a few days later.

When Lin Shaojie arrived at the Barclays Center, Frank and Larry Bird looked at their "apprentice" with strange expressions, and it was Frank who asked questions after a while.

"Lynn, did you really sell your shares in BodyArmor?"

"kindness!"

Lin Shaojie nodded.

The two stopped talking, and soon, Larry Bird patted Lin Shaojie on the shoulder: "You won't be like those players who start to perform badly after signing a big contract?"

Lin Shaojie shook his head: "Although I took a lot of money, but more, I exchanged Coca-Cola's shares, and a large part of it was exchanged for Huaguo's shares. Maybe I will have multiple identities, but yes For me, the most important thing is the basketball player.

He gave me hope, I have no idea of ​​saying goodbye to the NBA yet! "

"All right!"

Larry Bird patted him on the shoulder happily: "Since we knew the news, we were too worried. Almost every hot news has reported on this matter. It is far more exaggerated than when you won the championship. Some people even said that you Stealing the wealth of the beautiful country, you know? This money will make many people jealous, you have to move, you have to strengthen your security, you have too many things to do, the current you, and the previous you It's not the same person anymore."

"No!"

Lin Shaojie shook his head: "I am still the same me. I still respect you and other members of the uniform team. Don't alienate you because of money, or you will become a lonely family."

Lin Shaojie's words made Larry Bird and Frank laugh out loud: "Well, our Mr. Billionaire, I hope that after enjoying the pleasure brought by money, you can maintain your enthusiasm for the championship."

"Of course, otherwise I would have nothing to do, only the championship makes me excited!"

Lin Shaojie's words reassured Larry Bird once again.

"By the way, will you accept endorsements in the future?"

Frank also joked aside.

"Of course, why not! No one thinks he has too much money, right? Buffett even auctions off his own lunch."

The few people who laughed were quite eye-catching in a corner of the Barclays Center. Those who were about to enter it were either familiar or unfamiliar, and some were even rookies participating in the draft today, with envious eyes Look at that walker's number thirteen.

If there were people who wanted to challenge this player before, now they have already begun to think about how to deal with Lynn.

The "Lynn Dinner" in Indianapolis, Indianapolis is famous, it represents Lynn's approval of you, and he may make you rich.

Look at those endorsement contracts from Huaguo. For many players below the second-tier in the NBA, it is impossible for them to get them. Most of them received some contracts from Huaguo, no matter what, it was a lot of money.

For these players who are about to set foot on the NBA court, there is nothing more exciting than the US knife.

It's a pity that judging from this year's draft situation, the Pacers only have one No. [-] pick, and they don't know which lucky one will fall into it.

After entering the Barclays Center, Lin Shaojie quickly wandered among the rookies.

Of course, the small black room was the focus of his "care". Some people were very excited because of Lin Shaojie's arrival, and some people were maverick and pretended to be disdainful, but their misty eyes betrayed him.

After all, as the best rookie in twenty or even thirty years, Lin Shaojie has become the goal of all rookies after the 2012 class.

Who doesn't want to win the honor of MVP in his rookie season;
Who doesn't want to enter the first team in the rookie season;
Who doesn't want to win a championship in their rookie season;
And, who doesn't want to be the boss of the locker room in his rookie season.

For those players from the bottom, apart from money, what they want more is the status of a big boss. They want to be "respected" by others. Lynn has done everything they can think of, and they can't. Their "Role Model!"

That role model not only showed his personal style on the court, but also made himself financially free off the court. My God, did God live in their house and chat with the goddess of luck!
Last year, Lin Shaojie did not personally participate in the draft in New York. Like the little giant, he could only watch it in real time through TV. Although the result was the same, he lacked that sense of participation.

At this time, Lin Shaojie, who was wandering in this "circle of fame and fortune", discovered the excitement and anxiety of those rookies.

The number one pick or those players in the lottery area are gearing up. No matter what, a very "guaranteed" contract will allow them to "get rid of poverty and become rich in the next life." Marrying Bai Fumei is like announcing their ranking The moment was born.

Some players are ambitious and want to make a big splash;
Some players stink of copper just about to move.

Some players showed their strengths during the trial training;
Some players received interference during the trial training and had no choice but to leave the field.

Like the seasoning in the kitchen, all the emotions gathered together, with mixed flavors, Lin Shaojie closed his eyes and stood in the crowd for a moment, as if thinking about something, the group of rookies and their family members did not dare to disturb them.

"Lynn, are you feeling well?"

"No, thank you for your concern!"

Lin Shaojie opened his eyes, looked at the player in front of him who showed kindness to him, and said, "Are you Gobert, Rudy Gobert?"

"Yes Lynn, I'm Gobert!"

This player called "Gobert" is actually older than Lin Shaojie, but after seeing Lin Shaojie, he was actually very excited.

"Lynn, your performance in London was amazing. My God, I never thought that a Chinese team without little giants would almost beat the Pretty Country. Your performance shocked everyone. In the youth team, and you are already a core member of the national team, you are my idol."

Gobert's excited expression fell in the eyes of other players, and there was only a label of "sycophant". He was originally a guy from overseas. Seeing Lynn was like seeing his relatives. The disgusting and clumsy performance was really disgusting.

Lin Shaojie "looked" at Gobert more.

"You're the tallest player in this draft, the biggest one, right?"

Gobert touched his head in embarrassment. He did look a little naive in a suit and leather shoes, thinking of him as most rookies, very young.

"It seems like this, am I too old?"

"I like the big ones!"

Lin Shaojie said and left, which made Gobert a little baffled. When the Frenchman sat down, the people around him were a little excited.

"My God, that's Lynn!"

"Didn't you just show disdain for him?"

"Shit, that's a ruthless guy who dared to challenge Pekovic in his rookie season. Those people with wooden warehouses on the street are not his opponents. I'm just, I'm just trying to talk to him. Gobert, Yes, your name is Gobert, right? My God, Lynn actually talked to you so much, do you know him?"

Gobert shook his head: "No, today is the first time I saw that, I just watched it on TV before, he is cool, isn't he?"

"But we've all heard him say he likes you."

"No, he didn't say he likes me. He said he likes big. What does that mean? Is he big?"

(￣_, ￣)
In this way, these draft players watched Lin Shaojie pass by their group of rookies, like a little red in the green bushes, and after they left, the rookies still secretly looked at the most outstanding rookie last year players.

Lynn, who is still in his rookie period, looks like a veteran who has been in the league for many years. When he passes by the big shots and even the coaches of various teams, he either shakes hands or hugs, like a "social stream critic." Plus advanced patients".

With his amazing memory and familiar personality, coupled with his own background, Lin Shaojie, who swims among them, feels like a fish in water.

Everyone knows it's a show;
all the people are showing;

Everyone knows that you know that I am putting on a show with you, but no one will refuse a historical level of winning MVP and FMVP in the rookie period, or even a legendary rookie friendship.

Relying on the crazy performance of his rookie season, this is a player with a high probability of booking the future Hall of Fame.

Even if this point is put aside, in the face of a billionaire who can make a deal with Coca-Cola, more than [-]% of the members of the uniform team present will not refuse. No one knows whether when they leave this comfort zone, will they What kind of intersection with this talented Huaguo who is not just a player.

The friendship of rich people is far more real than that of a player, this is a business alliance!

This year's rookies no longer know what words to use to describe what they see and feel. Their cultural literacy is generally above the bottom line, or even leveled with the bottom line. They can only use words like "Fuck" and "shit" to describe them. own mood.

When you have absolute strength, you are the rule.

So many people only saw that this rookie was able to attend with the team's Eti Shanghuang to choose their favorite players. What is this?This is confidence, which is achieved by one's own strength, and any attachment of money will tarnish this strength.

A rookie can get the friendship of so many people, even if it's just a face-saving friendship, it is beyond my imagination. He is obviously just a player, but he has become the most beautiful boy off the court. The rest will be given to the Pacers core who has become so red that it is almost exploding.

"Who will the Pacers choose?"

"Who's going to get into the Pacers' sights?"

"Which player does Lynn like?"

These are what the media want to know. Before winning the championship, the Pacers were just a strong team in the playoffs. At this moment, they have a lot of cards, and Lin Shaojie is the crown of this card.

He is the Pacers, and the Pacers are him, a nearly equated iconic figure, even more dazzling than Reggie Miller around the millennium.

Larry Bird was also sitting on the seat. Years of experience in the industry made him no longer need to rely on these so-called "fake names" to fill himself. On the contrary, these are rare contacts for Lynn.

Sometimes they know that these are fake friendships, but many outsiders don't know it. Everyone is flattering each other in this circle of fame and fortune. How can those outsiders know.

There are many outsiders lying on the NBA and drinking their blood. Whether those players who want to enter it or any messy associations, they all want to use this so-called "connected" organization to make a bridge.

Around this business alliance, there are also many gray industries, but they have "licenses," and everything seems reasonable and legal.To be able to do what Lin Shaojie did is really the conscience of the industry.

Not to mention anything else, even if you retire in situ, you can just find a team to wear uniforms. This is why some teams are extremely eager for their former "heroes" and hope that they can join the uniform after retirement. Group.

Networks and experience are sometimes not something that can be solved with a little "little money".

"Big Bird" is fairly average, similar to the LoGo man who takes advantage of the fire, and "magic operator" promotes "three noes" products. If you have no discernment, you deserve to be tricked.

As for Larry Bird's other joking title of "King King", it's not a joke. Everyone on the scene, no matter the players, the coaches or even the management, together really belong to him as the strongest.

Jordan didn't come today. If he really came, he would definitely be inferior to "Big Bird" in this draft.

There are many people who like Jordan, including players and coaches, but what they like is that he is omnipotent on the court. After becoming the boss, Jordan can be called a "cancer" in the draft, the joy of being valued and "I will I won't be cheated to death" from time to time filled with rookies.

"The Bobcats team is poisonous" has already become the consensus of rookies.

The Pacers, who have the ability to win the championship, are favored by these rookies. The simple locker room relationship, "harmonious and friendly" teammates, can even be tied with the Spurs.

The most important thing is that the Pacers have Lynn as a "big assist player." Ask the rookies here who don't want to be teammates with such a player, who would be willing to do their best to be "fed cakes"!

The most important thing for a rookie is to develop, not "fighting," "team battles" as much as possible, and focus on development.

With Lin Shaojie, a super "assistant" who can be both soft and hard, he can transform into a "warrior" standing in the front line to block damage at critical moments. He is fleshy and resistant, and "flash" from time to time to cut the back row.

After Lin Shaojie returned to the Pacers camp, Larry Bird and Frank, who were seated in their seats, were calm and unhurried. The two of them moved their lips slightly, communicating almost silently.

The note that Lin Shaojie had just handed over was in the hands of the two of them, and soon, Frank found the corresponding information.

"Gobert? A Frenchman? Lynn actually took a fancy to a Frenchman?"

Frank quickly looked at the documents in his hand.

"Hey, it really is a big man, the tallest among the rookies this year, Lynn really went to find a big man, my God, this kid did what he said."

Larry Bird looked at the relevant data: "It's not bad, the jumping and wingspan are very good, but the strength is indeed a bit weak, and the low-level skills are average. I hope to practice more with Lynn after joining the team. , In our team, no one is more powerful than Lynn and has better low-post skills, right?"

"Yes, I think if it wasn't for his height and wingspan, Lynn could have participated in the Olympic weightlifting competition. Except for Hercules, I can't think of anyone in the league who is more powerful than him!"

Whenever Lin Shaojie is mentioned, Frank always has indescribable joy. The master and apprentice have achieved each other. One won the MVP, and the other won the best coach of the year. Is there a better script than this?

After the bell "knocked", Stern, as always, stood on the big stage with the media's teasing and ridicule.
Officially begin!
