At the same time, the Kings' fat scout Kenan Kent also returned to the team's residence in Sacramento. After a night's rest, he knocked on the team manager's door slowly.
After getting approval from general manager Jeff Petrie, Kent pressed the door handle, opened the door and walked in.
The general manager of the Kings, Jeff Petrie, is a middle-aged man with curly brown hair and a garlic nose. He was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 8th overall pick in the first round of the 1970 NBA Draft. He was selected in his rookie season. NBA Rookie of the Year, twice selected to the NBA All-Star team.
He is also the first person in NBA history to win both the Rookie of the Year and the Best Manager.
When Petrie saw Kent come in, he first stood up and shook Kent's hand, and then motioned for Kent to sit down on the chair in front of the desk.
"Kainan, I'm very sorry for giving you such an urgent task. Thank you for your hard work this time, running so far!"
Kent quickly waved his hand and said, "Jeff, you have really good vision. The Li Kaiming you mentioned is a very talented player. If we can select him, we will definitely go further in the playoffs!"
Petrie laughed, "I just happened to watch the TNT program that day and noticed this young man. But I only heard about it, so I urgently sent you to Tulsa for on-site inspection. Listen to what you said. You speak highly of this player!"
Kent nodded, "Yes, this guy has all the qualities of an excellent inside man. His basic skills are extremely solid, and his physical talent is also very good. This is the scouting report I finally got. Take a look." After that, he took it out of his bag. Several pieces of A4 paper were handed over.
Petrie took it, lowered his head and looked at it carefully, "Well... Height is 2.10 meters, wingspan is 2.26 meters? The wingspan is very good, and the weight is less than 100 kilograms? Relatively speaking, it is still a bit thin, but it is not harmful, and the bounce is good. Very good, basically all are the best in the same position..."
Kent echoed, "Yes, this guy's physical talent is extremely good in the paint. It doesn't matter that he is light and weak in confrontation. It only takes one season to practice after entering the league. The only thing that is doubtful is his follow-up." Tendon, I don’t know if it can withstand the test of the professional league..."
Petrie rubbed his chin with his fingers, "Well, this is a problem. The taller the person, the greater the risk of injury. He has also suffered a serious injury, and according to my observation, the body of yellow people is not very resistant to injuries. Bar?"
Kent nodded, "Although the sample is a bit small, Asians' bodies are relatively prone to injuries. Yao Ming suffered a lot of injuries after gaining weight and was reimbursed for this season. Yi Jianlian, another high-ranking pick from China, also suffered from injuries. Troubled by injuries, I only played 52 games this season..."
Petrie's brows were knit together tightly, forming an exaggerated fleshy ball between his brows. He thought silently for a while, and then said, "This is a lottery ticket. We don't need to make a decision easily. Let's make it first." After observing for a while, March Madness has just begun. If he is good enough to enter the NBA, I believe he will perform accordingly!"
——
Huaguo, Fujian Province, Hongxinerke Headquarters.
A beautiful girl wearing business attire and patent leather high-heeled shoes walked quickly through the crowd, her high ponytail jumping happily with her steps, leaving a series of heels hitting the ground.
Jiang Shan walked to the door of the office with a manager's office sign on the door, stretched out her slender white fingers, and tapped the door lightly a few times.
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
"Please come in!"
Hearing the sound coming from the office, Jiang Shan immediately opened the door and went in.
In the thirty-square-meter office, a middle-aged man was looking down at documents. He raised his head when he heard footsteps.
Seeing that the visitor was Jiang Shan, the middle-aged man smiled and immediately put down the documents in his hand, "It's Shanshan, why are you free to come see me today?"
Jiang Shan threw the folder in her arms onto the desk, then sat down on the luxurious sofa next to her, stretching out comfortably, "Of course I'm here to report on my work, hehe."
Looking at this daughter who was so cool and capable one second, lively and naughty the next, Jiang Xuemin shook his head with a headache, "Shanshan, this is in the company, not at home. You can't stand or sit like this." How do you behave when others see you?"
Although the words he spoke were harsh, there was no blame in his tone.
Jiang Shan looked up to the sky and sighed exaggeratedly, "Oh! I'm just a top student from Peking University. I just want to work as an assistant in your small shoe factory. I've been busy for several days and found a way to make money for you, but someone didn't pay for it." I appreciate it, I can’t afford to be hurt! Let’s go!”
After saying that, he pretended to get up and leave.
Jiang Xuemin stood up suddenly, walked to Jiang Shan's side in a few quick steps, and pushed Jiang Shan back. There was a hint of excitement on his face, "Shanshan, what did you just say? Did you find any way to make money?" "
Although his daughter is usually quirky, she is also a solid top student at the School of Economics and Management of Peking University. Within a few months after arriving at the company, she proposed several excellent plans, allowing the company to complete the quarterly target one and a half months ahead of schedule, so now in his eyes Here, Jiang Shan is not only his precious daughter, but also the company’s cash cow.
Jiang Shan turned her head, her little cherry mouth pouted so high that it could almost hang an oil can, "Huh, Manager Jiang just said that she didn't have a good standing!"
Jiang Xuemin sat down next to her and said with a smile on his face, "Shanshan, without your plan, the company would not be what it is today. How could dad criticize you? How about dad treat you to a big dinner tonight? Just treat it like I'm giving it to you Apologize."
Jiang Shan turned her head and her big eyes flickered a few times, "Really?"
Jiang Xuemin nodded, "I lied to you that I was a puppy!"
Jiang Shan snorted coldly, "That's pretty much it."
Jiang Xuemin rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Well, Shanshan..."
Jiang Shan stood up, picked up the folder from the table and handed it to Jiang Xuemin, "Don't you always want to build the company into a well-known sports brand? Now the opportunity is here!"
Looking at his daughter who turned into a strong working woman in front of him for a second, Jiang Xuemin was stunned for a moment, took the folder and asked, "What opportunity?"
Jiang Shan pointed at the document, indicating to Jiang Xuemin to read the content, and then said, "If you want to build a well-known sports brand, a well-known spokesperson is indispensable. If you were asked to choose a spokesperson, who would you choose?"
Jiang Xuemin said a name without hesitation, "Yao Ming!"
Jiang Shan sneered, "If you don't look at the cost, he is indeed the most suitable, but Dad, don't forget, we are just a slightly famous shoe factory now!"
Jiang Xuemin looked at her, "Then what do you mean..."
Jiang Shan pointed to the document in Jiang Xuemin's hand again, "What we have to do is to find a spokesperson who has not yet grown up. In my opinion, this person is the most suitable..."
Jiang Xuemin quickly opened the folder in his hand and looked at the handsome face on the first page. He read out the name next to him with a little doubt, "Li Kaiming? The name sounds like he is Chinese. Why haven't I heard of it?" Pass him?"
