God of NBA point guards

Chapter 342 Yacht, super giant standard configuration

At three o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the team returned to Seattle.

The road outside the airport was full of cars coming to welcome the fans of the team. When the bus came out, the loud horn sounded. The harsh horn sound in the past was no longer harsh at this time.

It took more than two hours before the bus arrived at the headquarters and the team disbanded.

"Gentlemen, don't forget, at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, the parade congratulations ceremony." General Manager Bob Whithit said loudly.

On the 16th, Zhou Quan suddenly received a call from Ma Jian, whom he didn't usually contact much.

Ma Jian entered UCLA two years ago. It was arranged by him when he left Detroit. He played in the NCAA for two years without making any big names.

"Iron Fist, I already signed up for this year's NBA draft."

"Really? I wish you success."

"Thank you!"

Regarding Ma Jian's draft pick, Zhou Quan thinks that the chance is not great. This compatriot has developed a whole body of muscles, but he is seriously lacking in flexibility and agility. His mobility is not good, his muscles are too dead, and he can't shoot.

He thinks that Hu Weidong and Sun Jun of the national team may have a better chance if they participate in the draft.

After three consecutive days of parade, Zhou Quan didn't get up until noon on June 6.

The physical fatigue is still very strong, and it takes at least a month of the most thorough rest to allow the body to recover.

After opening the system, the rewards have been obtained, prediction +5, physical fitness +1, and now the prediction and physical fitness have reached level 96.

With the improvement of prediction, his field of vision has also been improved accordingly. The full-level panoramic field of vision remains unchanged, and the advanced field of vision has been upgraded to the top-level field of vision.

Passing then went from 96 to 98, organization from 95 to 96.

In addition, his ball control and sense of the ball have also been upgraded to 95 after a long period of competition, from 93 and 94 before.

The game experience and technical and tactical ability have also been upgraded to level 95, which is a level up.

With the improvement of these technical abilities, coupled with the ability to resist injuries, etc., now he has begun to enter the peak period in terms of physical fitness, technical ability, game experience, etc. This is his cognition.

Manager Philip has been staying here for the past few days, and he has signed some sponsorship endorsement contracts. He has endorsed 25 world-class top and first-class brands. These endorsements alone, not counting investment income, have a commercial income of more than 3000 million US dollars a year.

In addition, my father has contacted him many times, and now many companies in China are contacting him, hoping to find him as an endorsement, and this time when I return to China, I have to deal with these matters.

He doesn't have many contacts in China, and he doesn't know many people. If he can endorse some brands in China, commercial income is a trivial matter, but building contacts is more important.

In addition, he plans to mobilize his father to resign again and become his domestic agent.

With my father's ability, he has been a middle-level backbone in the Municipal Forestry Bureau for so many years, and has been a bureau-level leader for another two years. It should be no problem to be a broker. At most, he can ask a few professionals to help.

In addition, the Seattle media in the past few days is hyping the news of No. 1 in active service. According to what Larry Bird, one of the protagonists of the previous era, said, he said that Zhou Quan now has the qualifications and strength to compete with Jordan for the position of No. 1 in active service.

This kind of statement is followed by the media in some cities, such as Los Angeles and Detroit, but the media in most cities does not involve this topic too much, as if they have not seen the news from the Seattle media.

I can't see it, and this thing doesn't exist. Zhou Quan thinks that the mentality of these media is like this. He is only a Chinese. It is really difficult for these American media to accept a Chinese as the No. 1 active player in the NBA.

In addition, he is also mentally prepared to win the championship again. Just like after winning the championship for the first time, he will definitely become one of the targets of the US media. Any negative news will be repeatedly hyped, and if there is no negative news, it will be brewed.

On the 19th, he met with his friend investor Jeff Bezos and confirmed the investment agreement that had been negotiated long ago.

Bezos has done everything on the website. The initial investment amount is 30 US dollars, and now he needs to make an additional investment, a total of 1000 million US dollars. He gave Zhou Quan a quota of 150 million US dollars, accounting for 10% of the shares.

This [-]% share was acquired by Zhou Quan with great difficulty, because he was not the only one who wanted to invest in Amazon.

The two signed the investment contract under the witness of a lawyer, and then opened champagne to celebrate.

Zhou Quan smiled and said, "Jeff, you must remember to notify me next time when you increase your investment."

Bezos took a sip of Champagne and asked with a smile, "Iron Fist, is that why you are so optimistic about my website?"

Zhou Quan said with a smile: "I have studied your qualifications, and I invested in your people, not your website. And other investors in the company, I think it is also the reason for investing?"

"Ha ha……"

Bezos laughed and handed over the wine glass, the two touched each other, and they did it directly.

……

They had business activities in New York and Los Angeles for a few days, and taught Reid Taijiquan well in the evenings. At noon on the 27th, Zhou Quan and Philip returned to Seattle.

When he got home, his luxury yacht had already parked by the private pier. When he arrived at ten o'clock in the morning, a large group of media reporters were watching.

On the starboard side of the yacht, there is a Chinese ship name in running script, called Iron Fist, and on the port side is the English ship name and Arabic numerals.

"beautiful!"

When Philip saw the yacht, he couldn't help sighing.

Zhou Quan has notified many friends before, including many wealthy people in Seattle, such as Ballmer, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, etc., inviting them to come to his cruise party tomorrow.

Since noon, photos of the yacht have appeared on the news programs of major TV stations.

Zhou Quan had already obtained his license in advance, so he invited some reporters to board the boat in the afternoon, drove the yacht around Lake Washington for a few laps, and then went out to sea along the canal, having a good time.

A luxury yacht like his has a very high degree of automation, using the most advanced fully automatic technology, and only one person can drive it. The experience is very good.

"Iron Fist is the NBA's first superstar to buy a luxury yacht, and also the most classy star." The New York Times.

"Iron Fist Has Pulled Up With Other NBA Stars, Including Michael Jordan." Seattle Journal.

"Iron Fist Unveils the Luxury of NBA Superstars, and Luxury Yachting Will Be Standard for Superstars." Los Angeles Times.

The next day, the headlines of the major media were all about him and the yacht.

At noon, Zhou Quan's yacht party was held as scheduled. In addition to a large group of reporters, he also invited nearly a hundred friends. In addition to a group of wealthy businessmen from Seattle, a group of well-connected people from the NBA, and a group of Hollywood stars all flew over specially.

At this party, Zhou Quan also revealed his circle of contacts to the world, and it was also a step for him to formally enter the upper class social circle in the United States.

"David, find me some information, I have to get one too."

Jordan feels that Zhou Quan's social level has surpassed him this time. This is related to the issue of social status. He is very envious and has to catch up.

"Michael, where are you going to put it?" David Falk asked.

"Well, just New York, I'm going to buy a villa in Manhattan and build a private pier there." Jordan said.

"OK, New York is more than ten times stronger than Seattle."

Soon, the news that Jordan was going to buy villas and luxury yachts in New York was exposed, which was also exposed by David Falk.

When the Knicks heard the news, they went straight up.

The management just wants to get Jordan. Jordan only has one year left on his contract. The new season is the contract year, which is the best time to trade.

They immediately contacted David Falk. David Falk himself was negotiating Ewing's contract with the Knicks management. He was in New York. It was very convenient and we met soon.

At the first contact, the management directly proposed to trade Jordan.

"David, Michael wants to buy a villa and a yacht in New York. His coming to the Knicks is the most ideal choice, what do you think?"

"I think so too, but you guys have to talk to the Bulls, and I can't help you with that. Also, what do you do with Patrick's contract?"

"David, the Bulls have collapsed. We have talked to Mr. Stern. He allows us to make up in other ways. The league also wants Michael to come to the Big Apple."

"Then let's talk."

……

On the 29th, Zhou Quan boarded the plane back home.

This time I flew directly to the capital and landed at the international airport at noon on the 30th.

Hundreds of fans came to pick up the plane at the airport, and it was jammed. Zhou Quan didn't expect it. This was a phenomenon that had never happened before when he returned to China, which showed that his influence in the country was not the same.

"Dad, Jun, how many days are left for the college entrance examination?"

"From the 7th to the 9th, there is still a week."

"Okay, let's go back before the college entrance examination."

Dad Zhou Jianguo has been in the capital for two days, and he came to pick up the plane with Zhang Lili. Zhang Lili borrowed a Santana to pick up the plane, and directly dragged Zhou Quan to the courtyard house he bought.

The courtyard faces south, with alleys on three sides, and another courtyard on the east. The south alley is 15 meters wide, and parking is available on both sides. Zhang Lili drove the car directly to the main entrance.

Zhou Quan went around inside and out, and it feels good. The architectural style is very grand, and it doesn't feel old and dilapidated. It is well maintained.

"Brother Zhang, have you bought your house yet?" He asked.

"You gave me a handling fee of 8 yuan, plus some money I saved. My parents supported me a little bit, and borrowed another 120 yuan to buy a 50-square-meter house outside the second ring road. The renovation cost was close to [-] yuan." Zhang Lili said with a smile.

Zhou Quan looked around and felt that it was very quiet here. Looking around, there were no high-rise buildings within a kilometer, and asked, "Brother Zhang, demolition is not allowed here, so there are no high-rise buildings, right?"

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "Yes, that's it. The closer you are to the Forbidden City, the more high-rise buildings are not allowed. This will be the case within the second ring road in the future."

"Where is the first ring road? There shouldn't be much room inside. I didn't see a ring road?" Zhou Quan looked at the Forbidden City in the distance and asked curiously.

"Ha ha……"

Zhang Lili was happy, and said with a smile: "There is only the second ring road, and there is no first ring road. Inside the second ring road is the Forbidden City, the center of the capital, and your place is at the foot of the imperial city."

"I see."

Zhou Quan laughed, and he was also happy.

Next, he and his father lived in the courtyard. Zhang Lili came over again in the evening, and the three of them went out for dinner together.

He will stay in BJ for a few days. He seldom came to BJ before. He passed by a few times. He has never played, and he has never been to the Forbidden City.

"Dad, what happened to the resignation? You will be my agent, and I will give you 20% of the business income. You save this money for Xiaojun Xiaoye, which is better than me giving them money directly."

"I've already resigned." Zhou Jianguo said with a smile.

"Why are you so straightforward this time?" Zhou Quan asked curiously.

"You can make money so much, I have a salary of several hundred dollars a month, and it's really boring." Zhou Jianguo said helplessly.

Zhou Quan laughed and said, "I made you resign a long time ago. Isn't it common for public servants to go to sea in China now?"

Zhou Jianguo nodded and said: "I am staying on leave without pay, and I will still be able to get my retirement salary in the future, and my relationship is still with the unit.

I will be your agent in the future, and the money I earn will not only go to Xiaojun Xiaoye, but if you have children in the future, I will also keep it for them. Your mother and I can't take care of their two little ones, can we? "

"No need, you and mom will keep it for them." Zhou Quan shook his head with a smile.

"By the way, son, you have at least one girlfriend a year, but you don't even have one for Chinese New Year. Isn't that a problem?" Zhou Jianguo said.

Zhou Quan said helplessly: "I can't help it. The last time that Chen Derong wanted DINK, I can't cut off my sons and grandchildren, can I?"

"That must not work." Zhou Jianguo's head immediately turned into a rattle.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Lili drove over.

Zhou Quan went to buy a car first, chose a Mercedes-Benz sedan, and then went to eat.

In the evening, the general manager Whithit called and told him about the draft that just took place. He didn't care about it, and it had nothing to do with him. This year is not a big year, and there are no outstanding people.

"Zhou, that compatriot of yours lost the election, that's the horse from UCLA."

"understood."

In addition, Whithit told him that Kendall Gill was sent to the Hornets and Jose Hawkins was traded.

"Hawkins was the No. 88 pick in the first round in 6. He is 29 years old this year. He was selected as an All-Star in 91. He averaged 21 points per game that season. The three-pointer is also good, with a 39% shooting rate. The defense is also good. He has a record of 9 steals in a single game, averaging 1.8 steals per game.

After being traded to the Hornets in 93, because the team had Larry Johnson and Mourning, he was only the third scoring point, and his shots were greatly reduced. Now his scoring data has declined. Last season, he averaged 14.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game, shooting 48.2% from the field and 44% from three-pointers.

Although the scoring data has declined, it is because of shots. Give him enough shots to average 20+ per game.

And last season his shooting percentage reached the highest of his career, that is to say, his state is actually still at its peak.

Iron Fist, as your partner on the back line, his efficiency is higher than Kendall Gill, and beside you, he must get more open space, and his efficiency should be even higher than when he was in the Hornets. "

"Not bad." Zhou Quan nodded and said.

"Plus, Iron Fist, Michael Jordan is already in the middle of a trade."

"Oh?"
