The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master.

Chapter 137 Super Chaebol

Lin Dong took out the key and opened the door. The house was dark.

It was already past 7 o'clock, and he had already gone to Mito Bathhouse to relax, but Lao Lin hadn't gone home yet. They had a lot of things going on in the bank recently, and working overtime had become the norm.

It was too early to go to bed at this time and I was not tired.

It wasn't because of the battle with Xiangbei in the morning. In fact, even the other players in Xiangyang wouldn't have any special feelings about winning against Xiangbei, let alone Lin Dong.

Except for Sakuragi who made him shine at the beginning, under his own fierce attack, the performance of the entire Shohoku team was terrible. Naturally, there was no feeling or understanding of the challenge.

He played the entire half not because he was interested, but simply because he saw Coach Anxi’s training intention of breaking through and then standing up again.

To the world, these slam dunk characters who have been integrated into reality are just ordinary people, but to me, these people still have a somewhat different meaning after all.

So he cooperated easily, which was considered as a way to repay the respect for Coach Anxi.

Lao Lin probably won't be back for a while.

Lin Dong turned on the TV in the living room and took a glance at it from time to time while tidying up the messy living room.

He usually watches sports channels, and his hobbies are not limited to basketball. He also likes to watch other sports such as snooker, football, track and field, and even racing cars, and he knows a little bit about them. Anyway, he watches whatever is available.

Recently, NHK has been broadcasting a lot of NBA games, almost once every two days. The 01 NBA season can be regarded as a fight between gods.

Veterans such as Glove Payton and Postman Malone are still in their glory. O'Neal, Iverson, Duncan, Garnett and even Webb are also at their peak. The new generation, such as Kobe and McGrady, have already shown their talents.

The OK combination just won the Lakers' first championship in 12 years last season. The dynasty was established and the league games were definitely exciting enough.

But for most Japanese viewers who have just come into contact with the NBA from mainstream media, their interest in the NBA may not be as high as that of the local high school league that has just become popular.

Therefore, during the breaks between NBA games, various local basketball topics are interspersed. At this time, the two commentators are chatting about Sanno Industries, which went to the United States for training. The screen shows Shigehiro Mori and Lanfear. High school video of Richardson fighting under the basket.

Lin Dong watched while tidying up.

Different from the previously edited highlights of the games between Kawada Masashi and Sawabita Eiji and NBA rookies, the video of Mori Shigehiro's hand-to-hand combat with Lanphier was relatively complete on TV.

According to official statistics, Shigehiro Mori, who is 202 centimeters tall, faced off against Richardson, who is 205 centimeters tall. However, it seems that Shigehiro Mori at the basket is obviously bigger than Richardson.

Not only did he not suffer any loss during the hand-to-hand fight, but he felt like he was suppressing Richardson. His positioning under the basket, awareness, etc. were all at a very different level from those in the summer league, and even against those who frequently entered the paint. Iguodala can play a certain interference role. If you don't look at his skin color, it feels like he is a 4-star or even 5-star high school student born and raised in the United States, and he is an absolute tank type.

Other players such as Jun Tsuchiya, Kazunari Fukatsu, and Dai Morohoshi, who are already very famous in Japanese high schools, have very few opportunities to be photographed. Most of them appear as the background of Mori Shigehiro, but the skills and skills shown in the shots are In terms of strength, there is obviously still a certain gap between him and Mori Shigehiro.

This guy is placed in the Japanese High School League, and his physical fitness and ball feel are indeed considered a dimensionality reduction blow. Obviously, in the eyes of the Basketball Association and funders, Mori Shigehiro is the future star worthy of the pursuit of all Japanese people.

However, it is difficult to accurately judge just how strong he is by just looking at these clips.

If I were myself before going to Lloyd Training Base, I might have found it a bit troublesome, but now...

After re-activating his potential, Lin Dong feels that he has returned to the peak of his previous life when he was 19 years old, no matter in terms of football skills, physical fitness, or physical fitness.

So much so that today, when Sakuragi and Mitsui teamed up, they didn't sweat much at halftime.

So for me now, no matter how the media and the basketball association package him, Mori Shigehiro is just a high school student in the United States between a five-star and a four-star.

"A piece of temporary news is inserted below. Mr. Mitsui Masayo, chairman of Mitsui Industrial Group, passed away due to illness at St. Luke's International Hospital in Tokyo at 10:38 this morning. He was 65 years old. Mr. Mitsui Masayoshi..."

The living room was almost tidied up, and Lin Dong turned off the TV.

Capitalist society is like this... Rich people can make news even if they die. This should be placed in the Dragon Kingdom. Such national notification is an honor that only belongs to the red.

call!

In the boring evening, I was lying on the sofa reading a magazine, and I glanced at the system points in my mind.

In the previous summer league, there were 4 county preliminaries and 5 national competitions. After nine games, they only accumulated 18 points. However, when they won the championship, there was a reward for completing the schedule and winning the championship, but they were quite generous with 20 points.

Including the 1 point from the previous duel with Fujima, the 1 point from the bullfight at the Lloyd training base, and the three games already played in the winter selection prefecture qualifiers, now there are 46 points in hand.

However, there is still a long way to go before the system mall's sales list.

There are only 6 games left until the winter selection finals, and including the championship reward, it is only close to 80 points.

It seems that it will be difficult to collect enough points for a ‘McDavid Original Knee Pad’ before going to the Nike Basketball Summit, so one can only accumulate them first and discuss later.

Speaking of which, after the county preliminaries were over, there was still almost a full month left before the winter selection national competition. He wanted to sign up for a short private lesson with Lloyd, not only to warm up, maintain his condition, but also to prepare. When we welcome the Nike Basketball Summit in the spring of next year, that will be the most important first step for us to truly make a name for ourselves and embark on a career path. The people we will meet at that time will be all the top players in the world, so don’t be careless.

Different from the previous private training, there was no need for other detailed guidance and plans, just taking Lloyd as a training partner. The guy just talked on the phone two days ago and did not receive any big personal orders.

This is relatively cheaper, about 20 yen a month, but including round-trip air tickets, food and accommodation, this does not include food, and you have to pay additional fees to live on campus, so 40 yen may not be enough to live in.

Well... I can only say that it's great to have a father.    …………

Tokyo, Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku, late at night...

A large single-family villa was brightly lit, and there were many luxury cars coming and going at the door.

The host's men and women, all dressed in black and wearing triangular white foreheads on their heads, greeted the guest at the door.

A tiger-headed car stopped at the door. When he saw the young man getting out of the car, the man wearing a bindi on his head moved slightly and walked forward.

"Ashou."

The male host looks to be in his early forties, about [-] meters tall, with a medium build and a gentle and fair face.

Mitsui Hisashi, who got off the car, was still wearing a white sports coat, which was particularly conspicuous among the black clothes.

"Brother, where did the old man stop?" Mitsui Shou asked with a face full of anger.

"Still at the funeral home." The male host sighed and patted his shoulder: "I suddenly became seriously ill around 9 o'clock in the morning. I wanted to call you, but my father said that you have a game today... so I waited until you competed. I made the call after it was over, but it’s a pity that my father didn’t wait until you came back.”

"I'm going to the funeral home!"

"It won't take more than an hour and a half." The male host stopped him: "Go and change your clothes first. Your outfit is too eye-catching. Then go to the study and wait for me. I have something to tell you."

——In the noisy villa, the study is probably the only quiet place at this time.

As soon as he walked in and closed the door, the sounds outside suddenly disappeared, as if the room was isolated from the world.

Mitsui Shou was wearing a black suit and a triangular binder on his head. When he came in, he found that his elder brother, who was supposed to be busy at the door, was already waiting for him here.

"Don't you need to greet me outside?"

"It's not as important as ours." Mitsui Akihito smiled slightly and looked at his younger brother, who was more than thirty years older than himself: "How was today's game? Did you win?"

"I'm not in the mood to talk about that. Brother, if you have something to say, just say it."

"...Okay." Mitsui Akihito placed a piece of information on the table: "This is my father's will."

"My father holds 4% of the shares of Mitsui Industrial Group, which manages 24 companies involving shipbuilding, finance, insurance, electronics and other industries, as well as seven villas, a comprehensive shopping mall and other fixed assets. I have made a rough According to estimates, the total value is about 8400 billion yen."

"According to my father's wishes, all stocks and fixed assets will be divided equally between my two brothers. He hopes that after his death, you will come back to take over part of the family business, and you have already allocated it..."

"Brother." Mitsui Shou interrupted him with a frown: "You know I'm not interested in doing business, and I don't know how to manage it at all. I'm still a high school student."

"I know, so I haven't announced this will yet." Mitsui Akihito smiled slightly: "Now that my father has passed away, the intrigues for power within the group are indeed beyond your ability to handle."

"As for me, I need all of my father's stocks, and I also need to have absolute control over several of my father's leading companies in order to gain a foothold on the group's board of directors..."

"Okay, brother, I understand what you mean." Mitsui Shou said: "Although we two brothers have the same father, my mother passed away early. When I was a child, when my father was busy, you were often the one who accompanied me... Maybe In my heart, you are more suitable for the role of father than father."

"Equity transfer agreement? I just signed it. I have no interest in these things in the first place. As for the real estate, you can just give it to me. After handling my father's funeral, I will pursue my own dream. If I really need it, brother When I help, I believe you will not refuse me."

Mitsui Akihito was stunned and couldn't help being a little touched.

He really loved and cared for his half-brother. From childhood to adulthood, he was both brother and father, and he never had any suspicion.

But being in the center of the vortex of group power, the pursuit of wealth and the desire for power have already formed an inertia.

I thought it would be very difficult to persuade my brother to give up such a large fortune, but I didn't expect... I thought too badly of my brother.

He stood up with some emotion and hugged Mitsui Shou.

"There is no need to transfer equity...don't underestimate your elder brother."

"Father's will remains unchanged. The equity and company management rights remain unchanged. You only need to sign a power of attorney and entrust me to act as my agent. You are still a joint owner."

"I will protect the wealth left by my father for you and me. No matter what dream you want to pursue, just do it boldly. Remember, what is your eldest brother's is yours, no matter what time!"

　Mitsui's chaebol background involves the subsequent plot, and the explanation must be explained, but it is only a background. Fortunately, it will play a role in promoting the plot and a source of entertainment later. There will be no unnecessary plot. Please don't worry, so there is no explanation here. I wrote it very carefully, just to let everyone know that there is such a background.

　　I'll do two updates today. It's hard to write the transition chapter and I'm a bit stuck on ideas. I'll start updating three chapters tomorrow.

　　By the way, the Mitsui family is really rich. Since its establishment in the 18th century, the Mitsui Foundation has always been the leader of the four major chaebols in Japan. In modern times, it is also known as the three major economic groups in Japan together with Mitsubishi and Sumitomo... Absolutely awesome Totally that kind of thing. I was thinking about whether the name of such a real-life group would be harmonized, but then I thought, MD, we are a Chinese novel, what is harmonious about? Besides, Takehiko Inoue was not afraid of being harmonized when he wrote the name Mitsui in Japan. I was afraid of being harmed when I wrote a fanfic. I was really frightened by Harmony...
