NBA: Two hands can’t carry championship rings

In a week, Yue Yi finished the business activities at hand and attended an exclusive interview with CTV.

In front of the national camera, he talked about basketball with the host and then talked about his idea of starting a school.

This interview was mainly for this purpose. He hoped to use his influence to seek support from people in the sports industry.

Yue Yi then returned to Hangning District, Jiangnan City, and held a meeting with officials including the mayor of Jiangnan City and the mayor of Hangning District.

The content of the meeting was naturally about Yue Yi's founding of a school.

Yue Yi personally took out 50 million Chinese yuan in the first phase for the early construction of the school.

Hangning District found a piece of land in the suburbs for Yue Yi to support his construction, and organized relevant personnel to be responsible for the early work.

Many domestic media reported on this matter.

Yue Yi took out 50 million to build a school, and this was only the first sum he invested. He will continue to invest funds in the future.

The media used praise and praise to describe Yue Yi's move.

One article wrote:

Yue Yi did not spend money to buy a luxury house in the United States, but lived in a rented apartment.

Yue Yi does not have one luxury car after another, but only a car for transportation.

Yue Yi does not own gold, silver, or jewelry, nor does he wear expensive luxury goods.

Yue Yi never spends a fortune in bars or dances, nor does he spend a lot of money with friends.

When he just signed the big contract, he took out 50 million to support the education of the motherland. He cares about the motherland and works hard to cultivate the next generation of the motherland.

For a time, the media was full of positive energy propaganda about Yue Yi.

The Chinese Basketball Association immediately expressed its appreciation for Yue Yi and said that the Basketball Association would strongly support him.

The China Daily praised Yue Yi by name. Yao Ming was the first to stand up and said that he would donate 10 million to the new school.

Yi Di also responded and donated 2 million.

Sun Yue and other national team veterans each donated 1 million. The young basketball players of the national team all expressed their intentions.

Many celebrities in the sports circle responded.

Many people from all walks of life also responded.

Anta Group said that it would build a stadium that can accommodate 5,000 spectators in the new school.

A stadium of this size is definitely a high-standard stadium in the school.

The preparation for the school was smoother than Yue Yi had imagined, and things were going on in full swing.

As Yue Yi's financial manager, Alyssa Mei was responsible for Yue Yi's financial expenditures, and she had a lot of opinions.

In her philosophy, money cannot be given out for nothing, and donations cannot be made unconditionally.

When she was talking to officials from the Jiangnan Municipal Government on behalf of Yue Yi about fundraising, she asked a key question: What is the nature of the new school? Did they just give verbal praise? They didn't spend a penny, but they still had to pay for the land to establish the school?

Mei was very dissatisfied, and she found Yue Yi and elaborated on the various drawbacks.

After the school was founded, if it continued to operate in the current model, Yue Yi would only continue to invest, and the school would still be public. Mei's thinking mode is a typical American one where there is me before there is a country, not where there is a country before there is me.

Yue Yi spent money and thought to run a school, and never thought about getting a return on money. It was okay to continue to invest money in the later stage. Yue Yi felt that it was worth spending money on meaningful things.

As for the return, it is nothing more than the school producing more talents and making themselves more famous. When they have achievements in the sports circle, they can be credited with the school.

However, Mei's analysis is also very reasonable. It is unreasonable to rely solely on the selfless dedication of others for a good operating system. If the school wants to run well, it also needs a reasonable system.

In the end, Yue Yi followed Mei's advice. The school was private and established in a private joint-stock model.

Mei brought her team and negotiated with Jiangnan officials on Yue Yi's personal career, and finally finalized it.

All donors hold a certain amount of shares in the school.

Jiangnan City invested in the new school with land.

Yue Yi will make additional personal investments in the later expansion process, become a major shareholder, and take charge of management rights.

Negotiations, handling, formulation and other things continued until mid-September. Mei's ability impressed Yue Yi.

She is not only a good financial investment expert, but also full of means in many aspects.

A small body has great energy.

She brought Yue Xiafei's management team and handled the matter beautifully. While striving for more personal interests for Yue Yi, she also made things progress in the way Yue Yi expected.

Yue Yi only needs to show up when the team needs him.

With capable people under his command, the boss is relaxed.

In this regard, Yue Yi, the boss, wanted to use his body to comfort the number one general. As a result, the general who usually coveted his body refused Yue Yi's condolences and rewards several times on the grounds that she was too busy, too tired, and had no energy.

In the process of doing things for the school, Mei bought all the surrounding land that could be bought, and borrowed 500 million Chinese yuan from Huaguo Bank in the name of Yue Yi.

Mei invested 600 million Chinese yuan in the vicinity of the school alone for Yue Yi.

Now Yue Yi's account balance is only enough for his normal expenses, and he still owes the bank 500 million. On

September 20, Yue Yi personally dug the first soil with a pickaxe at the school base in Hangning District, announcing the official start of the project.

Yue Yi took a group photo with the team and the people from all walks of life, and then began to prepare for the trip back to the United States. On

September 22, Yue Yi returned to Oakland, the United States with his team.

The day after Yue Yi arrived in the United States, the Warriors' affiliated team happened to have a game going on, and Yue Yi showed up at the stadium to watch the game.

Curry, Gibson, and Green, the three rookies of the team, played in the summer league on behalf of the team.

On the court, Curry's three-pointers rained down, and the shots were fast and accurate.

Gibson was full of energy, had excellent mobility, and played very hard.

Danny Green showed the attributes of a high-quality 3D. He made 3 three-pointers in this game and also performed well on the defensive end.

These three rookies have one thing in common, that is, they have played at least three seasons in college, and are relatively mature, that is, they have higher combat effectiveness.

Under the leadership of the three, the Warriors' affiliated teams were invincible in the summer league.

Seeing the performance of the three in the summer league, Yue Yi was full of expectations for the new season.

However, the official NBA games are not comparable to the summer league. The Warriors are a playoff team with a complete lineup. The three rookies need to fight for their performance opportunities step by step.

After the game, Yue Yi admired the performance of the three on the court and took them to have a meal to get closer to each other.

For the summer league finals, the following preseason games, and the beginning of the regular season, Yue Yi imparted a lot of experience to the three of them.

The three of them were pretty good at being good people, and they all congratulated Yue Yi for being selected into the first team of the Asian Championships, winning the Most Valuable Player, and leading the team to win the gold medal.

Yue Yi expressed that the goal of the new season is to lead the team to win the championship, and hopes that they can integrate into the team as soon as possible and maintain competitiveness.
