Chapter 171

Zhao Li was surrounded by people, his smile strengthened Bai Jidong's determination to open a basketball school.He has such ability and willingness, so he looked at Chen Qi and nodded slightly.

This is a hint, Chen Qi continued his closing speech, and finally said before the end: "My speech should have ended here, but our coach Bai has something to say."

With that said, Chen Qi walked up to Bai Jidong and handed him the microphone.

Bai Jidong took the microphone from Chen Qi, "I'm really happy to play games with these kids as a coach, even though I just stand on the sidelines and whine, when the game is over, I feel like I'm with them Fight to the end."

"Every one of us has such a period. In the United States, every child has the opportunity to play in amateur leagues, and every city has its own youth league." Bai Jidong looked at Zhao Li and nodded at him, "We will watch today There is only one Zhao Li, but in Zhejiang, there are countless Zhao Li waiting for us to discover in China, although I have not made any achievements, but I want to do my part for children like Zhao Li."

"I will join forces with Feng's Group to open an American basketball school."

The news was like a blockbuster, the audience didn't react, but the reporter knew the gold content of the news.

After Bai Jidong finished speaking, countless reporters surrounded him to ask questions.

"Where is the location of the basketball school? How much is the registration fee? Will you hire NBA coaches?" A series of questions from the reporter exploded in front of Bai Jidong.

Now that Bai Jidong has made his decision, he has to make things bigger and let everyone who pays attention to basketball know that he wants to set up a basketball school.

"The location of the basketball school is under discussion, and I can make three guarantees. For children with better talents, we will reduce the admission fee. The coaching team will be imported from Europe and the United States, which will not affect their studies. Even if the children grow up and don't want to play basketball That path, and still be able to go to college like any other kid."

After a busy day, Bai Jidong was exhausted. He was about to take a rest after entering the hotel when someone knocked on the door.

Bai Jidong had no choice but to stand up and open the door, "Didn't you say you won't disturb my rest?"

"Why did you say that in front of the media?" Chen Qi seemed overwhelmed by Bai Jidong's remarks, "We haven't even started talking yet."

"That's not a negotiation, that's my condition. If I can't meet these conditions, I won't cooperate with Feng Group." Bai Jidong said.

"No cooperation? But you have already said it in front of the media." Chen Qi said.

Bai Jidong said: "If these conditions cannot be met, I just won't cooperate with the Feng Group. Without them, I can do it myself."

"You want to do this by yourself?" Chen Qi didn't expect Bai Jidong to have such an idea.

Bai Jidong sat down and drank water, "At first I didn't, but today I had this idea after watching those kids play."

"You think, China is so big and there are so many people, how can I play in the NBA alone?" Bai Jidong spread out and said, "If these children develop according to the domestic model, at most they can only play in the domestic league. I have reached my upper limit, and I want to bring the Yankees back to China to try.”

"What about the Yankees?" Chen Qi still didn't understand.

Bai Jidong put it simply: "The most advanced facilities, coaching team, basic training, grassroots competitions."

"You can't handle these things alone." Chen Qi was not optimistic about Bai Jidong's plan.

Bai Jidong said: "Take your time. In my opinion, the most difficult thing is the grassroots competition. The other three events are not difficult as long as the money is in place."

Chen Qi stared at Bai Jidong, he spent his rookie season with Bai Jidong, he thought he knew him very well, but now it seems that his understanding of Bai Jidong is far from enough.

"If you need my help, just ask." Chen Qi said with a smile: "Although I can't solve your problem, media people have the role of media people, and I can let your story spread throughout the country."

"When I have your help." Bai Jidong smiled and said, "Can I ask you to avoid me now? I'm really sleepy."

"I like your directness, good night." Chen Qi consciously left.

Bai Jidong is about to leave Zhejiang.He still has to go to other places to do activities. Before leaving, he has to talk to Feng Yu, the director of the Feng Group.

Both Bai Jidong and Feng Yu arrived on time, and after the politeness, Bai Jidong cut to the chase, "President Feng, what are your thoughts on opening a basketball school?"

"Of course it is to absorb the local good seedlings in Zhejiang, concentrate on training, invest all resources on them, and help them improve. I don't believe that Zhejiang will not produce a few national players." Feng Yu said bluntly.

Bai Weidong's smile gradually bloomed, "The elite model is good, but we can't see the future of the elite, and we can't determine who is the elite when they are young."

The negotiation between Bai Jidong and Feng Yu reached an impasse.Feng Yu is a typical domestic way of thinking. He raises some talented children in captivity, and concentrates on training and discipline.

The views of the two ran counter to each other, and soon they couldn't continue talking, and they broke up unhappy.

As the saying goes, different ways do not conspire with each other, Bai Jidong secretly decided to leave Feng Yu aside and handle this matter by himself.

Chen Qi felt very sorry when he heard the news, "If you do it alone, the pressure is too great. You have just started in the United States, and many things are hard to talk about. Why don't you take it easy?" "I can wait for him for five or ten years." , but Zhao Li can't." Bai Jidong shook his head.

"Are you so sure that Zhao Li can do something in the future?" Chen Qi was puzzled.

Bai Jidong said: "I'm not sure, but if I can't do something now, then Zhao Li will definitely not do anything in the future."

"Have you asked him? Does he want to be a basketball player in the future? Do his parents agree with him to take this path?" Chen Qi asked several questions, but Bai Jidong couldn't answer them.

Bai Jidong couldn't answer, "I don't know what Zhao Li thinks, and I don't know whether his parents want him to go this way, but I want to do things first."

"It seems that I can't convince you." Chen Qi shook his head helplessly, "What do you need me to do for you?" "I don't have anything now, so I can only choose a piece of land first, and I will ask you for help after my school is completed." Bai Jidong smiled bitterly.

Bai Jidong chose a good time.Because the current house price is not as good as it will be in a few decades.

Through Chen Qi's introduction, Bai Jidong commissioned a man named Zhang Lu to help him find land.

He only needs to provide funds, and Zhang Lu will send photos of suitable venues to Bai Jidong.

Once Bai Jidong thinks it is suitable, Zhang Lu will negotiate the price with him.

Half a month later, Bai Jidong ended all activities in the country this year.

A week ago, Zhang Lu found a good land for him.

After discussing for three days, Bai Jidong first bought the land with a sum of money.Another large sum of money was spent on the construction of the basketball school and the introduction of facilities.

Bai Jidong usually feels that he doesn't have enough money to spend, this is the first time he feels the magic power of wealth.

If he has no money, he has to worry about the venue of the basketball school and the various facilities of the basketball school.Now, as long as he pays the money, he doesn't have to worry about the rest.

Before leaving, Bai Jidong still had something on his mind.

About Zhao Li.As Chen Qi said, Zhao Li's future decision is not up to him, but to Zhao Li and his family.

Just leave here, and the next time I return to China will be next year, and many things can happen in one year.

Through the organizer, Bai Jidong learned about Zhao Li's home address.

Following the address, Bai Jidong came to the door uninvited.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his thirties. The moment he saw Bai Jidong, he was stunned, "Who are you?"

"That's right, I'm the one you thought of." Bai Jidong stretched out his hand: "Are you Zhao Li's father?"

"I am!" Father Zhao excitedly held Bai Jidong's hand.

"I have something to talk to you about." Bai Jidong asked, "Can I go in?"

"Please come in." Zhao's father had just ushered Bai Jidong in, and the middle-aged woman inside was preparing lunch. Seeing Bai Jidong, he couldn't help covering his mouth: "Bai Jidong!"

"Bai..." Zhao Li heard his mother's voice, and came out of the room to find out, "Coach!"

"Zhao Li, hello." Bai Jidong smiled.

Zhao Li was very surprised, "Why is the coach at my house?"

"Don't worry about adults' affairs and villains, go back to the house." Zhao's mother immediately called Zhao Li away, and then cleaned the living room, "Sit inside."

Bai Jidong sat down, he didn't like playing tricks, he could say whatever he wanted, "I take the liberty of interrupting, but I just wanted to ask one thing."

"Excuse me," Father Zhao said.

Bai Jidong asked: "Have you considered Zhao Li's future?"

"This." Zhao's father laughed dryly, "The child is still young, so I haven't thought about it that much."

"If he can practice hard, he can become a high-level professional basketball player in the future." Bai Jidong said.

The only active NBA player in China uttered this sentence, which was of great importance, and Father Zhao became serious.

It is about Zhao Li's future, Zhao's father dare not say lightly, "The child is still young, so no one can say for sure what the future will be."

"I'm not here to promise the future, I just want to tell you a possibility, a possibility about "what will happen if Zhao Li sticks to this path"."

"Xiaobai, can I call you that?"

"can."

"Do you really think Xiao Li can play professional basketball?" Father Zhao asked seriously.

Bai Jidong nodded without hesitation, "There were a lot of children that day, and he was the most special one. I think he can do it." "By the way, Director Wu Minping also thinks that Zhao Li is a good talent." Bai Jidong laughed road.

"I don't want you to make a decision now." Bai Jidong said directly: "I will open a basketball school locally, and at this time next year, it will recruit students nationwide. I hope Zhao Li can sign up."

"We have to discuss this matter carefully, and the child's wishes are also very important." Zhao's father said.

"Of course."

After the matter was finished, Bai Jidong stood up and said goodbye.

"Coach!" Zhao Li ran out.

Bai Jidong gently patted his head, "You are great, let's play basketball together again if you have the chance." "Yeah!" Zhao Li nodded heavily.

"Goodbye." Bai Jidong rushed to the airport.

He has already done what he can do, and the result will be known at this time next year.
