Chapter 29 The First Investment

After the 60 rookies were announced, the official staff gathered all the rookies together and took a group photo of the rookies.

To everyone's surprise, during the photo shoot, Jiang Yan and Anthony Davis were standing on the left and right of Stern.

This move implied a lot of unspoken information.

In the 03 rookie class, standing next to Stern were James and Cameron Anthony.

These two were competitors for the best rookie of the year, and they were once promoted as the next gods of the league!

The media naturally saw these things. Stern said that among all the 12 rookies, he is most optimistic about Davis and Jiang Yan.

Thinking of this, these reporters were all a little excited.

The confrontation between international players and American players!

The confrontation between outside players and inside players!

Who will be the best player in the 12th class?

These belly drafts have been turned over in their minds!
After taking the group photo of the rookies, Jiang Yan and Duffy left New York.

But Duffy is returning to his company, while Jiang Yan is returning to China!
He wants to take advantage of this period of time to go back to the country, settle Jiang Meiqi's matter, and then return to the United States to participate in the summer league!

As for signing a contract with the Kings, Duffy said that there is no rush. Since the Kings have chosen Jiang Yan, they will not deny the contract.

Moreover, according to league regulations, rookie contracts are regulated by size and duration.

No. 3 picks like Jiang Yan can sign a 1+[-] contract. The first three years are guaranteed contracts, and the next year is a team option.

.........

After Jiang Yan returned to Shenzhen by plane, she took a taxi directly to her villa in Nanshan. Father Jiang never sent anyone to pick him up!

When Jiang Yan returned home, she didn't get any good looks from Jiang's father. His father looked at him from side to side, his nose was not his nose, his eyes were not his eyes.

Of course, Jiang Yan's mother was the complete opposite. She cared for Jiang Yan, asked questions about this and that, and even asked the nanny to go to the countryside to buy old black-bone chickens for Jiang Yan to eat.

Said it was to make up for Jiang Yan!
However, Jiang Yan refused on the grounds that she wanted to become a professional athlete in the future.

Of course Mother Jiang knew that Jiang Yan had become a professional NBA player, but in their eyes, Jiang Yan was still the same as before and needed her to take care of her!
After Jiang Yan struggled to deal with the old mother at home, she went to meet Jiang Meiqi's grandmother.

During this period, Jiang Yan performed well. Jiang Meiqi's grandma first saw that Jiang Meiqi's grandpa made a marriage contract, and secondly, she saw that Jiang Meiqi liked Jiang Yan very much, so she went along with the flow and helped Jiang Yan and the two of them.

At the same time, a simple engagement ceremony is going to be held before Jiang Yan goes abroad.

Jiang Yan's engagement ceremony was very simple, just exchanged engagement rings under the witness of relatives of both parties.

However, after the engagement, Jiang Meiqi could no longer go to the United States to study, and she wanted to finish her studies in Shenzhen. Her grandmother asked Jiang Meiqi to accompany her.

This request is very reasonable, Jiang Yan naturally agreed!

But the two of them did everything they had to do during this period!
After getting engaged, Jiang Yan boarded the plane back to the United States amid Jiang Meiqi's reluctance.

During this period of time in Shenzhen, Jiang Yan not only faced the parents of both parties, but also faced harassment from advertisers who wanted him to be an endorsement.

Basically, someone calls his phone every day, and I don't know where those people know his phone number.

When Jiang Yan faced these people's request for endorsement, except for those businessmen who had a good relationship with the Jiang family, the rest did not agree.

Of course, I discussed this matter with Duffy, but Duffy said that he was only responsible for the endorsement signed by Jiang Yan in the United States, and he also asked Jiang Yan to find an agent in charge of China, just like Yao Ming.

Duffy knew very well that he was no match for Chinese people, especially Chinese businessmen!
After filming a few commercials, Jiang Yan embarked on a journey back to the United States, and at the same time brought the 5000 million renown coins she earned from her endorsements, equivalent to more than 700 million U.S. dollars.

Sometimes, Jiang Yan sighed, this money is really easy to earn!

.........

"Hey, are you Jiang Yan?" When Jiang Yan was sitting in the business class, wearing eye masks and about to fall asleep, a voice came from his ear.

Jiang Yan took off the blindfold and looked at the speaker.

yo!Still an acquaintance!And he's an alumnus!
This person is none other than Luo Zixing, the beautiful Luo!
"Luo Zixing? Aren't you at school?" Jiang Yan asked suspiciously.

"I'll come back to deal with my company's affairs!" After confirming that it was Jiang Yan, Luo Zixing was very happy, and then answered Jiang Yan's words.

"Company? Your own?" Jiang Yan looked at this woman in surprise. A girl, especially a rich family like Luo Zixing, started a business so early?

"Yes! I started a company, mainly as an economic company!"

"A brokerage company? What brokerage company?"

"Have you heard of Orange Entertainment?"

"Have not heard!"

"That's right, how did you know! Let me tell you, this orange entertainment was founded by me and a friend at the beginning of this year. I paid for it, and he paid for the resources!"

"Then you go back this time?"

"The company is out of money!" Luo Zixing showed a look of helplessness, and then continued: "Because there are too many stars signed, so the cash flow is short?"

"That's it! Then why don't you ask your family, or your boyfriend?" Jiang Yan asked thoughtfully after listening.

In fact, he is still very optimistic about the prospects of China's entertainment industry in the future. Thinking about the billions in box office in the future, Jiang Yan can't help being very excited!

Although I don't know what the future income will be from investing now, it is undoubtedly a good opportunity to let my capital get involved in the entertainment industry!

"My own business, I don't want them to intervene!"

"Independent women!" Jiang Yan exclaimed.

"........."

"By the way, Jiang Yan, haven't you congratulated you on successfully entering the NBA with the fifth pick?" Luo Zixing changed his voice and congratulated you.

She never thought that the former college bully would become an NBA player!

And this slapped some of the Chinese students in the face again!

"Thank you!" Jiang Yan replied with a smile on her face.

Afterwards, the two were silent for a while.

Suddenly, Luo Zixing said: "Jiang Yan, have you entered the NBA and signed a contract?"

"Not yet! But this time I will sign when I go back!"

"Then you probably have a lot of money by then?"

"How is it possible! NBA players don't get so much money immediately after signing a contract! NBA players' salaries are not paid at once! They are paid on a weekly basis! Maybe it is possible to pay them monthly! So the money is not a lump sum. Check in!"

"Is that so!" After Luo Zixing heard the words, his face revealed a dejected look, with a frowning expression on his face.

She originally thought that after Jiang Yan entered the NBA, she would have a lot of money, and this money could just solve the urgent needs of Orange Entertainment!
"You want to borrow money from me?" Jiang Yan looked at the sad Luo Zixing and asked tentatively.

"It's not a loan, but an investment! If you invest money, I will give you shares!"

"Then how much is missing?"

"5000 million!"

"How much?" Jiang Yan wondered if Luo Zixing knew that he happened to have so much money!

"5000 million!"

…………

Jiang Yan waved goodbye to Luo Zixing at the Los Angeles airport. This time he did not go to Windsor, but went directly to the Sacramento Kings to report.

On the plane just now, Jiang Yan and Luo Zixing reached a preliminary agreement. As long as Jiang Yan invests the 5000 million in Orange Entertainment, then Jiang Yan will own 30% of the company's original shares.

You know, this is the second largest shareholder!The first one is Luo Zixing, she originally owned 80%, and the shares allocated by Jiang Yan's investment this time are allotted from her!

As for the contract, in a few days, Luo Zixing will send a professional lawyer to discuss with Jiang Yan.

Afterwards, Jiang Yan took the bus to Sacramento, after all, Los Angeles and Sacramento are not far away!

Come to Sacramento and go straight to Arco Arena for the Kings.

Standing outside the arena, Jiang Yan took out her mobile phone and called Duffy.

When Jiang Yan was in China, Duffy had already rented a room for Jiang Yan!
Of course, no apartment was rented. This was Jiang Yan's request. After all, Jiang Yan felt that she was still a rookie.

Adhering to the traditional virtues of China since ancient times, the virtues of frugal housekeeping, Jiang Yan doesn't think living in an apartment is so upscale!
In his last life, didn't he still live in that kind of rented house that costs a few hundred dollars a month?
Isn't it the same as living with gusto?
Soon, Duffy sent over the location of the rented house.

I took out my mobile phone and compared it with Google Maps, and found that the house is not far from here, only about 2km away.

It takes about 10 minutes to walk, and it takes 15 minutes to ride a bicycle!

Following the Google map, Jiang Yan came to a tall building half an hour later.

Obviously, Duffy rented an apartment this time, instead of just renting a low-rent house as he said.

That's right, as a top agent in the NBA, no matter what, Duffy would never let a millionaire like Jiang Yan live with those poor people.

This is also Jiang Yan's fault. In fact, he took it for granted that the United States, like China, also has that kind of low-rent housing in the city center!
According to the room number, Jiang Yan got the key from the property, 612 on the sixth floor.

Jiang Yan took the elevator to the sixth floor, found the room, and opened the door.

After entering the house, Jiang Yan discovered that Duffy rented him a two-bedroom apartment, which was very big, enough for him to live alone!
Afterwards, Jiang Yan packed her things!

In fact, there is nothing, just a few changes of clothes in the lockbox!
"Jiang Meiqi, I love you!" (goosebumps all over her body)
Jiang Meiqi asked Jiang Yan to record this before going abroad, and asked Jiang Yan to set this as the ringtone for incoming calls!

"Hello! Duffy!" Jiang Yan looked at the number and said after picking it up.

"Found it? Are you satisfied?"

"not bad!"

"You take a rest today, tomorrow we will go to Arco Arena, Patric has been urging us to sign the contract!" Duffy's voice came from the phone!
"So urgent?" Jiang Yan was surprised.

Generally speaking, rookies will only sign contracts after they have finished playing in the summer league.

Because many rookies will perform poorly in the summer league, and then at this time, those managers will take advantage of this time to lower prices!
Of course, these rookies do not include those cornerstone rookies.

After all, in Patry's opinion, Cousins, who will soon be in the third grade, is still too childish, too childish!

It's easy to lose your temper when things go wrong on the court!
Every season, Cousins ​​​​doesn't know how much fines he will pay to the league!

Although he has strength, his psychological quality is not suitable to be the cornerstone of the team at all!

There may also be a part of the reason why Jiang Yan is Chinese, after all, no one will have trouble with money!
"Isn't it good to sign in advance?" Duffy just asked.

"Okay then! When will you be there tomorrow?"

"I'll pick you up tomorrow!"

"Ok!"

.........

After Jiang Yan came to a nearby restaurant for dinner at night, she also intended to take a stroll around Sacramento.

After all, this is the state capital of California, and the law and order here at night is very good, and there is no homeless person in sight!

On the Old Street of Sacramento, the architectural style is obviously in the style of American western cowboys in the last century. There are wooden houses, steam trains, and gold panning machines from 150 years ago everywhere.

As for other places, Jiang Yan didn't have time to go, and she didn't dare to go. After all, it was night, and safety was still the top priority.

Jiang Yan didn't hesitate. After visiting these cowboy-style buildings, he took a taxi back to the apartment.

Decided to visit a 'tourist city' like Sacramento next time I have a chance!
　Ask for collections, ask for recommended tickets!
