Chapter 486 Meeting the General at BJ

Xie Kai met Zhou Jing who had been thinking about him day and night in BJ's courtyard.

The two hugged each other tightly immediately, Xie Kai touched Zhou Jing's small face, and asked with concern: "You have lost weight recently! Thank you for your hard work!"

Zhou Jing was very moved by Xie Kai's words, she had indeed lost weight.Although she had always wanted to lose weight before, but losing weight in this way was not what she expected.During this period of time, she studied hard, negotiated with those merchants, and was so busy that she sometimes didn't have time to eat.

Zhou Jing wants Xie Kai to see her progress, her own value, and most importantly, she wants to help Xie Kai.

She contributed a lot to the negotiation with Lenovo's endorsement.She went to Lenovo headquarters n times to investigate and understand that the company she didn't want Xie Kai to endorse was a weak and bad company.She needs to understand from all aspects in order to know what she knows.

In fact, Zhou Jing didn't tell Xie Kai about all this, but Xie Kai's agent, Thaddeus Faucher, had already told him in private.

The Olympics is over, Xie Kai will not leave BJ immediately, he still has a lot to do.

Celebrations and summaries are naturally inevitable. In addition, Xie Kai will also shoot an advertisement for the new endorsement of Lenovo.

Xie Kai intends to use the few days of commercial shooting as a rest. Compared with training and competition, shooting commercials is much easier.The reason why he didn't plan to start training immediately was because he was adjusting himself.The consumption of the Olympic Games is still not small, and it will take a period of time to adjust.

During Xie Kai's participation in the Olympic Games, there was a big deal in the NBA in the United States. This deal involved 4 teams, and the result was that Warcraft Howard would join the Lakers!

Considering that the Lakers had traded Nash last month, they will now form the Big Four!Although Nash and Kobe are a bit older, they still performed well last season and are still at the tail end of their peak.

The Lakers instantly became the favorites to win the championship, which was something that was unthinkable before.You must know that it was two years ago that they won the championship last time.As the heroes who won the championship are getting old, they did not expect that this summer's one-hand operation brought them back to the echelon of the championship.

The formation of F4 by the Lakers naturally triggered a major change in the league situation.The original window for the Lakers to win the championship can be said to have been completely closed, but the addition of Warcraft and Nash made this team instantly qualified to challenge the Big Three of the Heat.

Bynum upgraded to World of Warcraft, thinking about it makes the fans of the Purple and Gold Legion feel excited.

For the Grizzlies, Gay has not been traded yet, but the good news is that since the deal of Warcraft was settled, the number of teams inquiring about Gay has increased significantly.

This is not difficult to understand. Many teams have no hope of competing for World of Warcraft, so they naturally launched Plan B.Although Gay is not as good as Warcraft, he is still a quasi-all-star wing at his peak, and he doesn't have to pay a lot of chips to get him.

When Xie Kai was filming an advertisement for Lenovo, one of his teammates came to BJ.

This man was General Gilbert Arenas.

Arenas was signed by the Grizzlies last season, and he is no longer the same as before. Although he played a few high-profile games, he still hasn't attracted the attention of many NBA teams this summer, and there are very few inquiries.

The Grizzlies are willing to renew his contract, but the contract can only provide a basic salary.

Arenas hopes that he can get a mid-level long-term contract, but based on his current ability and his past black history, almost no team will sign a long-term contract with him.

He came to China this time to contact those CBA teams who are interested in him.His agent helped him contact several CBA clubs who were interested in him, and he came to try out.

Of course, Arenas is unwilling to lower his status to play in the CBA. As long as he can get the middle class in the NBA, he will not make less money than in the CBA.Not to mention that he hasn't won a championship yet and still wants to get a ring later in his career.

Xie Kai invited Arenas and his manager to eat BJ roast duck and drink national wine.

Arenas was very grateful for Xie Kai's hospitality.That's how people are. When the great general was in glory, he was supercilious, and most people didn't pay attention to him.Now that the door of the alliance was gradually closed to him, he realized the warmth and coldness of human relationships.

Xie Kai is now a newcomer and superstar in the league, and Arenas is very grateful for him being so respected.Arenas is actually not a very complicated person, he is still simple in nature, and the things he did are more like pranks made by a naughty child.It's just that his pranks are a bit too much and are not tolerated by this alliance.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone is slightly drunk.

"Gilbert, are you going to Shanghai for trial training?" Xie Kai asked.

Arenas nodded: "They sent me an invitation, and I have this plan."

Xie Kai knows that the Grizzlies are willing to keep Arenas. For this reason, general manager Chris Wallace contacted him, hoping that he would persuade Arenas to stay with a basic salary contract.

Of course, Xie Kai also hopes to continue to cooperate with Arenas, but he still feels a little unjust to persuade him to accept the basic salary.If Arenas accepted the basic salary because of his relationship and gave up the opportunity to get a bigger contract, he felt that he would also feel guilty.

However, after Arenas went outside for a round of interviews, he did not offer him a contract higher than the basic salary. He wanted to come to the CBA to find a job. Xie Kai felt that it was a more appropriate time to speak at this time.

"Gilbert, if you want, you can stay on the team. Let's fight for the championship together next season!" Xie Kai said.

Of course Arenas knew what Xie Kai meant. He was not that short of money, he just wanted to be respected, and the best way to gain respect in this league was to get a big contract.

Xie Kai's words moved Arenas's heart. He knew the status quo of the Grizzlies. Without salary space, it was impossible to give himself a satisfactory contract.If they renew the contract on the cap, they don't have their own bird rights, and they can only get a basic salary.

"You mean, let's stay in Memphis?"

Xie Kai nodded slightly.

The Grizzlies couldn't give Arenas the starting position, and couldn't give him a big contract, but the recognition and respect from the team's core Xie Kai moved him.

"Let me think about it, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow, okay?" Arenas said.

Xie laughed and said, "No problem, no matter what decision you make, I will respect your choice!"
