Chapter 266: Rich People Are All Vampires

In Los Angeles, the Lakers are still short of a power forward, and Jerry West is contacting the Knicks.

The deal with the Hornets fell through, and he wanted to trade Eddie Jones for Danny Fortson.

But he didn't know that the Knicks had already negotiated a madman deal and did not lack the main shooting guard, so his deal was rejected.

"By the way, when we last talked with the Hornets, they were interested in trading Glenn Rice for Eddie Jones?"

When he put the phone back, he suddenly thought of this. His mind changed, and he immediately grabbed the phone again and dialed the number of Wasp.

"Eddie Jones? OK!"

The Hornets were very happy. They wanted an All-Star shooting guard and immediately agreed.

In this way, the Lakers reneged on the deal with the Nuggets. As a small forward, Glenn Rice was better than Rafonso Ellis.

But now, Crazy Fan's deal is about to be redone, and there is still a lack of power forward.

"By the way, didn't Rodman leave the Bulls? Give him a try, he averages ten rebounds per game."

There was really no good candidate, so in desperation, he thought of Rodman, who had a very eccentric personality.

Although I am worried that Rodman will be as out of control as he was with the Spurs, he can't find a good one, so he can only make do with it. Moreover, Rodman does still have some strength, and he can also provide high-quality rebounds and interior defense. .

Time has entered October, Zhao Dong and Lindsay ended their honeymoon trip around the world and returned to Beijing.

If there is no lockout, the league's new season will begin after October, and the preseason will start soon.

But now, labor negotiations are breaking down one after another, and there is no news at all about the new season.

Now the NFL preseason has ended, and the regular season has started in three weeks. If the shutdown continues like this, NBA fans will run out.

On this day, Wells opened the phone and told Zhao Dong that Michael Tyson's application for a boxing license in New Jersey had not been approved.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Dong asked.

"He just can't play the game. He's not allowed in other states, and now New Jersey isn't allowed." Wells laughed.

"What the hell,

wasting my time. "

Zhao Dong scolded: "I can get a boxing license. What did he do? He couldn't even get a boxing license?"

Wells laughed: "He has a bad mouth and offended the media. Now his reputation has dropped to rock bottom and he is going bankrupt."

"Linge, if the new season continues to be suspended and boxing cannot be played, I am going to go to the Jets to play." Zhao Dong said.

"Is that so? But Feilong, active players are not allowed to hold team stock prices. The NFL also has this rule. How to solve it?"

Wells asked.

"I'll discuss it with Lindsay," Zhao Dong said.

"That's okay. If you want to avoid this rule, with your and Lindsay's current status, there are actually many ways." Wells smiled.

Lindsay was making dumplings with her mother-in-law Li Meizhu. When Zhao Dong came over, she thought for a moment and said, "Then just set up a new investment fund to hold shares in the team and avoid the rules."

"Will the NFL agree?" Zhao Dong asked.

"In the United States, the rich and powerful can do anything. The rules of the game are set by the rich, and the laws are set by the rich for the poor."

Lindsay said with a smile.

"Rich people are vampires."

The old man Zhao Zhongguo said angrily from the side.

"Old man, what are you talking about? Whose blood did Dongdong and Weiwei suck?" The old lady was unhappy.

"Ha ha……"

Zhao Dong and others laughed.

After a while, Zhao Zhenguo came back from get off work.

"You two come in, I have something to say."

As soon as he came back, he asked Zhao Dong and Lindsay to enter the back room with a serious look on his face.

"You're so nagging." Li Meizhu rolled her eyes at her man.

The three of them came to the inner floor, and Zhao Dong asked, "Dad, what's the matter?"

Zhao Zhenguo looked at Lindsay and said to Zhao Dong: "Tell me, have you done anything good in Hong Kong? As a result, people from above came down today, from several departments, and asked me about you all day."

Zhao Dong and Lindsay looked at each other, and the latter said, "Dad, don't worry, we didn't do anything bad."

"I understand. The people above also said it was a good thing and didn't say you did anything bad." Zhao Zhenguo nodded and said, "Aren't I worried?"

"What do you want to know from above?" Zhao Dong asked curiously.

Zhao Zhenguo said with some confusion: "It said it was 15:15 in the afternoon on August 17. At this time, they didn't explain what happened. They only asked me to ask you, did you do it?"

Zhao Dong smiled, nodded, and said, "Aiweier went to Hong Kong on the 10th. She did it."

"Isn't it a bad thing?" Zhao Zhenguo asked hesitantly.

"No, it's a great thing and will benefit the country and the people." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"That's fine, that's fine. I've been thinking about it because I'm afraid you guys will go the wrong way." Zhao Zhenguo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tell me what's going on. Let me know what's going on." He asked again with a curious look on his face.

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "The Storm Investment Fund established by Avril and I in the United States invested some money in Hong Kong this time, that's all."

"How much?" Zhao Zhenguo asked.

"The synthetic RMB is more than 20 billion," Zhao Dong said.

"Ahem..." Zhao Zhenguo choked on his saliva.

"It's the fund's money, not our money." Zhao Dong quickly patted his father on the back and explained.

"Are you out of your mind? You have so much money, why did you invest it?" After regaining his breath, Zhao Zhenguo pointed at Zhao Dong and cursed.

Zhao Dong said helplessly: "Don't I have the Dragon Investment Fund here? When I have money in the future, I can use more funds to invest in the industry."

Zhao Zhenguo was startled, nodded and said, "I forgot."

At this time, the news that Tyson's boxing license was not allowed spread across the ocean to the United Kingdom.

Frank Warren is a second-generation rich man who comes from a sports family. His father and uncle are the owners of sports betting companies, and he is a boxing agent.

However, it is difficult to find top boxers, especially top heavyweight boxers. He does not have top boxers, let alone top heavyweight boxers, let alone top heavyweight boxers?

This puts him at the third-rate level in the boxing agent circle. He has been unable to improve his status in the industry, his career has not developed, and in the end he may be reduced to inheriting the family business.

"This is an opportunity."

When he saw the news about Tyson, his heart immediately moved.

The United States rejected Tyson. Can he bring Tyson to Europe?

Although Europe is the world of football, boxing is equally popular and very popular. Tyson's popularity in Europe is very high, no less than that of top football players.

Then he immediately thought of the cross-border battle between Tyson and Zhao Dong that had been rumored for almost a year, and his heart became even hotter.

Determined, he immediately booked a flight and rushed to the United States.

Two days later, Zhao Dong received a call from Wells again, telling him that Tyson had a new agent, British Falk Warren, a third-rate boxing agent and promoter.

And this agent contacted him to promote the cross-border fight between Zhao Dong and Tyson.

As a reborn person, Zhao Dong certainly knows this. It was through this cooperation that Tyson and Frank Warren were able to revive the career of the former, while the latter was able to be promoted to a first-class boxing agent in the future. He has become one of the top boxing agents and promoters in the world.

"Promise him."

"Really agree?"

"Yes, don't underestimate this third-rate agent. He is not only a rich man, but also has connections and channels." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll set up a team right away and start negotiating with him."

"go a head."

…

On October 20th, Zhao Zhenguo went home with a happy face.

He was promoted to director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, main office, and also entered the Municipal Standing Committee.

This is the capital city. Based on his current position, if he has enough qualifications, he may even join the deputy department.

Time has entered the end of October, the NFL league is playing extremely fiercely, but the NBA is hopeless, the suspension continues, and the new season is silent.

At the same time, the NCAA men's championship is about to begin, and the regular season will begin on the 31st.

The NCAA itself is more popular than the NBA. Now the NBA continues to be suspended. This has greatly weakened basketball fans' attention to the NBA. At the same time, they have great opinions on the NBA's suspension. Many fans said in interviews with the media that they will not Follow NBA again.

This time, the players became anxious.

Without a league, they have no income. During the lockout period, compared to the owners and league management, and compared to the management, they are the passive party.

"Brother Dong..." Dayao called.

"Dayao, play hard this season and strive to win a championship. It will be very useful for you in future drafts." Zhao Dong warned.

"You know, our whole team is holding our breath and wants to win a championship. After this season, Battier and others will participate in the draft, and they will have no chance next season." Dayao said.

"Then come on." Zhao Dong smiled.

…

"boom!"

In the private training hall, Zhao Dong hit the target with a straight right fist.

This was a heavy punch from his backhand, with one punch delivering 526 pounds of punching power. The terrifying explosive power had already surpassed the power of Tyson's right fist.

Explosive power is a comprehensive quality that combines absolute strength, punch speed, flexibility, coordination, joint flexibility, nerve reaction speed, etc.

His overall quality is top-notch.

However, the time was still too short, and his boxing skills have improved somewhat, but the accuracy of his strikes cannot be compared with top boxers like Tyson, and even now it is not as good as second- and third-rate boxers.

If the shot is not accurate, the shot will be missed and the flaw will be exposed.

And Tyson is particularly good at dodging.

"Feilong, your explosive power is too strong. As long as your boxing skills are top-notch and your punching power can reach at least 600 pounds, you can probably kill Tyson with one punch."

Seeing the number 526, a trainer shook his head and sighed.

Another trainer laughed: "It's still impossible to kill him with one punch. After all, there are gloves, and Tyson's ability to resist punches is also very strong, but the effect of a heavy hit is definitely very strong."

At two o'clock in the afternoon on November 1st, Zhao Dong and Lindsay arrived in New York.

Wells found a boxing agent for him, named Arum, who is one of the top boxing agents in the world. Now Arum has begun negotiations with Frank Warren.

In addition, a top-notch private boxing training gym was built for him in New York. This time he went to receive the most professional training, with the best boxing sparring partners and strength trainers.

News of his return to the United States was immediately reported by the media, and NBA general managers immediately took action.

"Three thousand dollars, please tell me the information. Are you sure you will land in New York? Which airport? International airport? OK!"

"International airport? What time?"

The general managers of all teams inquired or bought information from reporters, then rushed to New York and waited for Zhao Dong at the international airport.

"These guys, they still want to pry into our corner, dream!"

Neil Grant glanced disdainfully at the twenty-eight general managers around him.

"Nel, what are you looking at?"

Pat Riley, standing at the front, noticed Grant's eyes and asked with a smile.

"He's looking to see who's missing," Larry Bird laughed.

Grant's face was slapped again and again. These guys are so shameful, especially Larry Bird. He is not the general manager. Why do you come here to join in the fun as a head coach?

He said to Wells who was coming to pick him up next to him: "Linge, move quickly, don't let these guys have the opportunity to come into contact with the flying dragon."

Wells laughed and nodded.

He heard it. Despite Grant's determined look, the Knicks currently had no contract with Feilong. Although there was a verbal agreement, he was also very worried about Feilong being pried away.

In addition to the general managers, assistants, and drivers of the twenty-nine teams, waiting for Zhao Dong were the New York general manager of Feilong Sports, Hughes Wallace, and his staff, as well as a large number of reporters.

"Come out, come out..."

At half past two, Zhao Dong and Lindsay appeared in front of everyone with twelve bodyguards, and everyone rushed forward.

"Damn, are they more aggressive than us?"

Seeing the general managers rushing to the front, the media reporters who were pushed to the back looked at each other.

"Feilong, I am Donnie Nelson, general manager of the Mavericks. Our boss has said that as long as you join the Mavericks, we will give you the same treatment as Jordan."

For the sake of his own future, little Nelson did not hesitate to wave his little hoe at his father.

"Feilong, I am Larry Bird, and now I am inviting you as the head coach of the Pacers..."

"Feilong, I'm Pat Riley, don't tell me you don't know me, we are friends..."

More than 20 general managers and head coaches surrounded Zhao Dong and the others, shouting in all directions.

Zhao Dong had a headache and shouted loudly: "Gentlemen, your trip was in vain. I have already said that I am not considering a comeback at the moment."

"Feilong, don't hesitate. As long as you go to the Heat, the entire Miami Beach is yours. There are thousands of bikini beauties waiting for you."

According to Zhao Dong's hobbies, Pat Riley immediately tempted him.

But he chose the wrong time, and Lindsay was on the side. Hearing this, he glanced angrily and said displeasedly: "Mr. Pat, no matter where Feilong goes, I promise not to go to the Heat."

"..."

Pat Riley opened his mouth and became an idiot.

He didn't dare to mess with Lindsay. Although Lindsay was not in the United States in the past few months, her name appeared on the headlines of the Wall Street Journal almost every day. The Storm Fund she controlled was expanding at a jaw-dropping speed. This is a giant on Wall Street. Every move he makes can bring in countless amounts of hot money, and he is not someone he can mess with.

"Pfft!"

Many people burst into laughter.

Zhao Dong once again confirmed that he would not consider the issue of comeback at present, and would not conduct any comeback negotiations, so he finally got rid of these people.

After the disappointed general managers left, he was swarmed by media reporters.

"Feilong, you announced your retirement from the NBA. What are your plans now? Are you planning to change careers, or will you return to the NBA?" a reporter asked.

"Feilong, will you try NFL?"

"Feilong, when will the cross-border battle between you and Tyson begin? Where will it take place?"

"Flying dragon..."

Zhao Dong picked a few questions and replied: "I will come back after the league suspension is over. My plan now is to prepare for a cross-border fight with Tyson, but the negotiations are still ongoing and the date cannot be determined. Sure."

"Feilong, are you negotiating with Tyson? But Tyson does not have a boxing license in the United States. Where are you going to hold a boxing match with him?"

"Feilong, what level of appearance fee do you think is suitable for you?"

"Feilong, how many rounds do you have the confidence to fight Tyson?"

"Feilong, are you confident that you won't be KO'd by Tyson?

His answer immediately made the reporter excited and asked him questions again and again.

Zhao Dong was too lazy to answer the following questions and quickly left the airport under the arrangement of his bodyguards.

"Feilong, now that you are back, we are going to announce the boxing match with Arum to the media tomorrow." Wells said after getting in the car.

"Announcing without confirmation?" Zhao Dong said.

"This is the best publicity opportunity, free of charge." Wells laughed.

"You decide this matter, but I won't participate." Zhao Dong said.

"Understood." Wells said.

Back at the villa, nothing has changed.

"Feilong, why don't you go to the headquarters? If you don't go back, the management will be unstable!" Grant suggested after Zhao Dong rested at home for a while.

"Okay, let's go then." Zhao Dong smiled.
