NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

The impression of Zhang Xiaoman in Zhang Jinshui's mind still remained a few years ago. When Zhang Jinshui was selected from the orphanage by the sports school, Zhang Xiaoman was just a sallow and emaciated little bean sprout, with a height of 1 meters at most.

I haven't seen her for a few years, and now Zhang Xiaoman has grown into a big girl with a height of nearly 1 meters.

She is wearing a blue casual sportswear and white casual shoes. She has a slender figure and a cute bob hairstyle. Her appearance has hardly changed from when she was a child.

Although he is still very thin and his hair is a little yellow, he looks good overall.

Zhang Jinshui was very relieved, raised his arms happily, and opened his arms to his sister.

Zhang Xiaoman hurriedly threw away the suitcase in his hand, jumped onto Zhang Jinshui's body with one stride, hugged him tightly, and cried out with a "wow".

Zhang Jinshui had mixed feelings in his heart, he hugged Zhang Xiaoman's light body with one hand, stroked her yellow hair with the other hand, and said distressedly: "Why is it so light? It's not even 100 catties, is it?"

"Where... how can it be... as heavy as 100, and less than 90."

"Brother! Woooooo..." Called Zhang Jinshui again, Zhang Xiaoman cried even more fiercely, unable to speak, pouring snot and tears onto Zhang Jinshui rub.

"What's the matter, have you been bullied in Huaguo?" Zhang Jinshui was so distressed that he hurriedly asked.

"No...no. I...I...I'm doing...well now. Just seeing...you, happy!"

"Are you happy? Those who didn't know thought you were sold to the beautiful country." Zhang Jinshui felt the black line on his forehead, and felt the lightness on his arms again. He said dissatisfiedly: "Too thin , give me two catties of meat every day."

With one sentence, Zhang Xiaoman's crying was immediately interrupted, he raised his face, looked at Zhang Jinshui and said, "One...two catties...meat, bro, you raise me like a pig ah?"

Just as he was talking, Zi Chunlin walked up to Zhang Jinshui, without saying a word, but thoughtfully handed a tissue to Zhang Xiaoman.

Zhang Xiaoman immediately jumped off Zhang Jinshui, took the tissue, and sobbed calmly, while wiping the snot and tears from his face, it took a long time before he stopped crying.

After carefully looking at Zi Chunlin who was too beautiful for a few seconds, Zhang Xiaoman timidly asked: "Hello, you are my...that...sister-in-law, right?"

Obviously, she didn't think her brother was worthy of this beautiful fairy-like sister in front of her.

And this cute and naive look with no idea in her heart immediately made Zi Chunlin laugh lightly, she raised her hand, shook hands with Zhang Xiaoman, and said: "Hello, I'm Zi Chunlin."

Zhang Jinshui on the side screamed angrily, bounced his sister's head, and asked, "Zhang Xiaoman, what do you mean?"

"Oh, it hurts!" Zhang Xiaoman covered his head, kicked Zhang Jinshui's calf, and said confidently: "I just said that you are not good enough for my sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

After finishing speaking, he quickly hid on the other side of Zi Chunlin.

After such a fuss, the two of them seemed to have returned to the state of being dependent on each other in the orphanage but always fighting.

At this time, Zhao Niannian and others, as well as the Tai Chi employees who followed Zhang Xiaoman to Houston this time, surrounded them together.

"Hello Mr. Zhao."

Zhang Xiaoman stuck out his tongue, then turned around and pulled two young female colleagues to Zhang Jinshui:

"Brother, in the company, Xiao Chen and Xiao Liu have the best relationship with me. I have already promised them that you and her will take a separate photo and sign the photo."

"No problem!" Zhang Jinshui agreed with a smile, feeling extremely relieved.

Knowing that using him as a bargaining chip means that this little girl's brain has finally begun to grow brain cells. In this way, Zhang Jinshui will no longer worry about this girl being bullied outside with his name by his side.

This time, more than a dozen employees of Taiji Company flew to the United States with Zhang Xiaoman.

Among them, 6 or 7 employees were still wearing Tai Chi overalls, and each of them was pushing two huge suitcases of the same style in their hands, which seemed to be a big battle.

Zhang Jinshui heard from Zi Chunlin before that Zhao Niannian plans to open Tai Chi's flagship store directly in Houston this time, so as to establish a new brand image in the United States, and then detour to China.

Moreover, they have already found a business consulting company in the beautiful country, and after Zhang Jinshui selected the exclusive sneakers, they immediately started the promotion of new shoes.

These employees are Zhao Nian's reinforcements who moved from Huaguo for future work.

Zhang Jinshui admired this executive power and courage, and at the same time secretly felt that he deserved to become a billionaire with a net worth of tens of billions in his previous life.

After a few simple greetings in the pick-up hall, Zhang Jinshui, Zi Chunlin and the others, together with Tai Chi, had a total of more than 20 people, sitting in 6 or 7 cars, and drove to a city about 20 meters away from the Houston Airport. Office buildings only [-] minutes away.

Although the endorsement contract has not yet been formally signed, in order to promote the next cooperation more efficiently, Zi Chunlin and Zhao Niannian have already established a joint venture company and rented the top floor of this office building as the joint venture company's office .

Zi Chunlin took Zhang Jinshui and the others up the elevator, and roughly told Zhang Jinshui:

This office can accommodate at least 100 employees and was previously rented by a start-up company in the Internet industry.

When the company got a huge amount of financing, it decorated the office very beautifully and avant-gardely. Even though it has been two years and left after burning all the money, the remaining office is still as good as new.

Two days ago, the people from Zi Chunlin's side and Zhao Niannian had all moved in.

After everyone arrived, Zi Chunlin first asked her subordinates to arrange seats for the new Taiji employees, and then she brought Zhang Jinshui, Zhang Xiaoman, Zhao Niannian and Taiji's legal advisers to her The office handed over the formal contracts to Zhang Jinshui and Zhao Niannian respectively.

After Zhang Jinshui signed, Zhao Nianian hugged Zhang Jinshui's contract in his arms, heaved a sigh of relief, and laughed: "Brother, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm waiting for you to sign the contract in the few days , I almost don’t think about tea and food, and even sleeping has become a problem.”

Zhang Jinshui laughed and said, "What? I'm afraid I might not make it if I run away."

"No, I knew before that you would definitely make a name for yourself in the NBA. But I never thought that you would have such a high degree of attention after only playing 10 games in your rookie season.

Especially after watching the game between your Rockets and the Pacers on TV the day before yesterday, to be honest, I was already mentally prepared to go back to Huaguo empty-handed and disheartened. "

It was rare for Zhao Niannian, who has always been indifferent to emotions, to express such a disturbed mental journey, and the atmosphere in the entire office immediately became sincere.

Everyone exchanged a few more words sincerely. Zhao Nian patted Zhang Jinshui on the shoulder and said:

"Since you will be the second shareholder of our Tai Chi in the future, I might as well tell the truth from the bottom of my heart. I am very optimistic about the sub-track of sports equipment, especially the potential of our Huaguo market.

Just wait and see, 10 years later, Tai Chi will bring you rewards that will be several times richer than the endorsement fees you gave up for Hook and Sankecao. "

"Be bold, not several times, but dozens, hundreds of times." Zhang Jinshui said firmly.

But looking at Zhao Nian's hahaha posture, he probably didn't dare to take it to heart.

Next, several people walked out of Zi Chunlin's office together.

Zhao Nian asked the six or seven subordinates in work clothes to bring their suitcases to a large conference room that could accommodate 30 to [-] people.

When the suitcase was opened, there were all samples of shoes inside. There were at least a dozen models on display in pairs on the desk, and 5 pairs of each model were prepared according to Zhang Jinshui's foot size.

Zi Chunlin had shown Zhang Jinshui the samples of these shoes before. At that time, Zhang Jinshui liked a pair of sneakers named "Bow".

Seeing the real thing at this time, Zhang Jinshui liked it even more in his heart, and immediately took it in his hand and started playing with it.

This pair of shoes does not adopt the streamlined design that has been common in recent years, but a simple square shoe shape.

The color scheme is mainly white and blue, and the vamp is covered with cloud patterns and wave patterns that are common on blue and white porcelain, revealing a strong Chinese style, while the streamline from the flanks to the upper is made into a bow style, dark and The most powerful offensive method in Zhang Jinshui's arsenal-the three-pointer.

The more Zhang Jinshui looked at it, the more he liked it, so he took a pair and put them on his feet. He secretly sighed in his heart. As expected, a professional designer personally measured and made a custom-made foot model. The size is very suitable.

"Before Taiji came out as a brand, we did OEM for hooks for 10 years, and we at Taiji are very proficient in the technologies they use.

In addition, I have invested a lot of research and development expenses in air cushion technology in the past few years. I dare not say that it must be the same level as the current hook, but it is absolutely no problem to play in the NBA. "Zhao Nian said confidently from the side.

Wearing new shoes, Zhang Jinshui stomped on the ground and jumped a few times. His feet felt really good. He raised his head and said to Zhao Niannian and Zi Chunlin, "This is my first pair of exclusive sneakers!"

"Haha, happy." Zhao Nian clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Then I will immediately notify the shoe factory in Huaguo, and work overtime to start production. For the first style, let's test the water with 5 pairs first. I It is guaranteed that [-] pairs of them will arrive in Miramar within this month."

Zi Chunlin said: "Okay, I will immediately contact the business consulting company on my side, and strive to put some warm-up advertisements and promotions of the new shoes on the media tomorrow."

"Don't put up the ad tomorrow. When I'm on the court tomorrow night, I'll give my sneakers a stunning appearance. Your publicity can be picked up the day after tomorrow."

Zi Chunlin asked curiously: "Why did you make such a stunning appearance?"

"Tomorrow, just wait and see. Shanren has his own clever plan, which will definitely make you full of praise." Zhang Jinshui blinked at Zi Chunlin, and made a fool of himself.

Zi Chunlin covered her mouth and smiled softly, her eyes rolled around, and Zhang Jinshui's heart fluttered as she watched.

Now not only has the contract been signed, but the upcoming exclusive shoes have also been confirmed.

Zi Chunlin and Zhao Niannian took advantage of the opportunity to call in some key Taiji employees outside the house, and revealed the name and organizational structure of the joint venture company.

The name of the joint venture company is a bit silly, called Zijin Taiji. Zichunlin doesn't like it very much, but Zhang Jinshui really can't hold back, so he can only let it go.

Zhao Niannian will be the chairman of Zijin Taiji, Zichunlin will be the president and executive director, and Zhang Xiaoman will be the supervisor and a vice president.

This time, Zhao Nian brought over a dozen key employees from Taiji in two batches, and they will all join Zijin Taiji.

Of course, these Tai Chi employees lack work experience in the beautiful country, and are mainly responsible for some supply chain, back office and communication work with Huaguo.

Expansion to the outside world also depends on the top-ranked business information company in the world, as well as fresh blood from the beautiful country in the future.

And Ziqiuli, who has been idle for more than half a year, actually graduated from Harvard Business School that year and is an out-and-out top business talent.

After Zhang Jinshui proposed the condition of introducing Scarlett Johansson to him, he agreed to join Zijin Taiji and work for one year as the director of operations, and cooperate with the consulting company to start work.

Although Zhao Nian has the title of chairman, he can only stay in the beautiful country for a month at most. After he returns to China, Zijin Taiji will be fully responsible for Zijin Taiji's work.

Zhang Jinshui originally wanted to transfer part of the shares under his own name to Zi Chunlin's name, but the other party refused to live or die, which made Zhang Jinshui very upset but had no choice but to give up.

After arranging everything properly, it was already noon, and Zhao Nian booked two private rooms in Yao restaurant to welcome Zhang Xiaoman and other Tai Chi employees.

After going downstairs, Zhang Xiaoman, who had already dozed off from boredom when everyone was working just now, finally got up.

She came to Houston for the first time, and she was full of curiosity about everything she saw, chatting non-stop beside Zhang Jinshui.

Although Zhang Jinshui has been in Houston for several months, he usually spends almost all his time on basketball. He is not familiar with Houston at all, and he can't answer many questions vaguely.

This is great, Zhang Xiaoman has something to say: "You still scolded me all day for being bad at my brain, and after doing it for a long time, it turned out that we are each other, you deserve to be my brother."

The harmonious atmosphere of brotherly kindness and filial piety that had only been maintained for a long time was broken.

Seeing that Zhang Jinshui was about to go crazy, Zhang Xiaoman immediately ran over and grabbed Zi Chunlin's arm, and raised his face: "My sister-in-law is here, if you have the ability, you can hit me, and let my sister-in-law see your true face .”

Zi Chunlin on the side, watching Zhang Jinshui's five orifices smoke with anger, covered his mouth and laughed non-stop.

After lunch at Yao Restaurant, Zhang Xiaoman clamored for Zhang Jinshui to take her around, but at three o'clock in the afternoon, the Rockets would play an away game against the Mavericks, so Zhang Jinshui must stay in front of the TV.

In the end, it was Zi Chunlin who found a compromise, asking Zi Qiuli to send Zhang Jinshui home, while he took Zhang Xiaoman for a walk around.

Zhang Jinshui naturally had no objection. After returning home, he took a nap and sat in front of the TV on time at three o'clock in the afternoon.
