An indispensable element outside of the game.

The Lin family has never been like this. Even in the words of Su's father, Su Guosheng, there are many small bosses in Jiangnan who were once prosperous, but their families were ruined by this thing. No matter how much money they have, they can't afford the bottomless pit of "gambling".

As for the players' private behavior, as long as it is not displayed openly and openly, no one will care about it.

Perhaps he was satisfied, so Stern skipped this topic and chatted with Lin Shaojie about the Internet, technology, and even topics such as artificial intelligence and 5G.

When such a trendy gadget came out of the mouth of a seventy-year-old man, Lin Shaojie couldn't help but admire the old man's vision and knowledge.

Nothing is ever fixed, everything in the world is like this.

The old man can keep up with the times, but he probably doesn't want to let the times become obsolete.

"David, in our country of China, it is incorrect to call someone by their first name. We are more accustomed to adding 'grandpa,' after our surname or given name to show respect for our elders.

Of course, now I just do as the Romans do.

I have studied what you mentioned in school, and I have also been exposed to it besides being a basketball player. After all, I still have some money on hand, and I have also participated in investments, which involves some of the things you mentioned.

And in the past year, it seems that my investments have been pretty good and they have helped me earn a lot!"

"Really? I also heard Kobe say that you helped him make money!"

Stern said happily.

"Of course, but it's a pity that it is a traditional investment and there is no way to realize it yet. I can even make an acquisition based on the current valuation. Of course, we are all optimistic about this investment now.

But unfortunately, this project is not the artificial intelligence or science and technology innovation project you mentioned."

"It's a beverage company, right?"

Stern said: "After Kobe and I talked, I asked some people, Coca-Cola was very interested in this, and he thought you had done a cool thing.

For an attractive young star like you, anything that looks cool represents a high value.

Nike very much recognizes your business vision, and they feel that even if you don't engage in basketball, you will still be a Wall Street elite."

Lin Shaojie vaguely understood the thoughts of the helmsman, but the other person's thoughts were very heavy, as if he had closed doors one after another, tightly wrapping himself in them.

With a smile on his face, he is as guarded against outsiders as an old castle!

"Although Wall Street does not have a very good reputation in our opinion, because they often represent vampires. But I admit that Nike is right. Like the Jews, we have the habit of saving, and we are not used to excessive consumption, and then everyone

Living on a loan every month.

From the perspective of my family, it is good to have enough money. Some of the extra money can be saved to prevent accidents. What about the rest? It can be used to do some meaningful things.

The Chinese believe that ‘a house that accumulates good deeds will always be blessed’, which means that only by doing good deeds and accumulating virtue can we have a happy and happy life.”

“Excellent!”

Stern couldn't help but applaud. Lin Shaojie's few words explained what he had done with money.

Thinking about this little guy being called the "most stingy" superstar, only such players can keep their wealth. There are too many players who forget about it after receiving high salaries. Retirement of such players often means bankruptcy!

In thirty years, Stern has seen too many players like this.

"Well, through this, I know that you are a player who can keep his wealth. You know how much effort I have put in to allow those guys with strong limbs to live the rest of their lives without worries. If they all

If you save worries like this, maybe the alliance will have fewer disputes."

Stern said seemingly with something different in mind.

"Let's chat about basketball. It's rare that I can spare half a day to see you like today."

"My pleasure!"

Lin Shaojie knew that the big man in front of him was the king in his country. He could give a rookie player half a day. This kind of treatment could be said to have never been done before.

This is not a collision between teams, but a meeting between individuals!

"Michael (Jordan) also mentioned you to me, saying that you are very discerning and sensible. Can you understand what I mean?"

"certainly!"

Lin Shaojie returned the same smile: "The league is just and fair. The players must know that behind every game there is the hard work of the uniform team. For the sake of ratings and the benefits it brings, something must be done."

It’s a trade-off, isn’t it?”

Lin Shaojie's words made Stern applaud softly again, very quietly.

Before coming, Larry Bird reminded Lin Shaojie to be careful of Stern's loud voice. Lin Shaojie had never heard any loud voice since he walked in. Stern was very harmonious.

"You are the smartest Chinese person I have ever seen, smarter than the little giant!"

"Of course, there are some things that are useless to complain about. We learned when we were in middle school. When the profit exceeds 50%, some people will take desperate risks. When the profit doubles, they will dare to trample all the laws of the world. All money-making businesses are written in the laws of various countries.

In criminal law, the last sentence is not learned from textbooks.

So to clear up those fogs, the root of most problems comes from interests. Do you think I am right?"

"It's great. I didn't have such a clear understanding when I was your age."

"No, when you entered the league, you already showed the momentum of a strong man. I heard Larry (Bird) say that many general managers and even owners of the team did not dare to look at you. At that time,

You haven't taken charge of the league yet, I'm still far away, and I need to learn a lot from you."

Lin Shaojie flattered him without leaving a trace, and Stern's laughter had never been more generous.

The special assistant outside the door could hardly believe that Stern was rarely so loud except when he cursed. Oh my God, it was just Lynn, the Pacers' rookie. What were they talking about? David (Stern)

) so happy.

"You are a great kid, great!"

Stern raised his thumbs: "Let's do this. I promise you to hold two preseason games in the Imperial Capital and Magic City next year. In order to thank you for your efforts in basketball between China and the United States, your opponent will be yours."

Come and decide.”

After speaking, Stern added mischievously: "I think you won't choose the Heat, right?"

"Of course, Kobe and I are good friends. If he knew that I didn't choose him, he would definitely want to fight me. Of course, he would definitely not be able to beat me."

Lin Shaojie's words made Stern laugh again.

At present, everyone in the league knows that Linn's fighting ability is off the charts. Whether on or off the court, he is one of the very few multi-sport talents. Moreover, relevant people in China interviewed by media such as ESPN and even TNT

, everyone gathered the information together and understood that Lin En was a professional, at least in terms of fighting. He had many teachers, all of whom were professional martial arts teachers in China. They were considered well-known teachers no matter what.

Being able to remain calm and composed in front of the gangsters holding wooden warehouses shows that they have confidence.

The old man and the young man chatted very happily. By the end of the chat, they were even showing off. Lin Shaojie discovered that proper flattery was enough to open the old man's heart and let him reveal more interesting things.

Lin Shaojie is the kind of social master who can coax a three-year-old child and can also chat with an old man in his seventies or eighties.

".When I make the market value of the NBA teams rise crazily, I will be the BOSS of this league, and everyone must listen to me."

As soon as Stern finished speaking, Lin Shaojie continued.

"Me too, in the Pacers, my presence has helped the Pacers' income increase day by day, and the team's record has gotten better day by day, so from the locker room to the coaching staff, I get along very harmoniously with them."

"I will yell at everyone who opposes me!"

"Contrary to you, I will not yell. After two reminders, I will not remind you again. Chinese people pay attention to one or two and not three. If it is a player, I will let him leave the team. If it is a coach or other management

Layer, either I leave or he leaves."

"Excellent, very tough character. A boss must be like this and not be soft. If I find that the team's operations are not under my control, I will stop any cooperation that has been reached and punish them, no matter it is

The owner of the team is still the player."

"I also agree with this method of operation. I will strictly implement the tactics drawn up by the coach in every game. But when I find that the tactics are useless on the court, every player must listen to my instructions. I will

Ask them to forget everything the coach said before and instead follow my instructions.

Greg (Popovich) was scared away by my tough attitude, so the Spurs missed me, and Larry (Bird) believed in me and gave me absolute support."

I don’t know how many times Stern laughed: “Haha, what a great young man. You know, there are a lot of corpses in the NBA, and I have dealt with some of them myself.”

At this time, Stern felt a little arrogant and domineering, as if he wanted to overwhelm this No. 3 overall show, giving him an infinite shock.

Lin Shaojie slowly closed his eyes, then opened his eyes after a while and said.

"I am very young and have little experience, but some people have lived for most of their lives and are still stupid and naive. My life journey has just begun to enter the high speed, but I have already experienced the troughs and prosperity of the world.

Enjoyed applause and ridicule!

I know my current value very well. When I succeed in the NBA, I know that I need to wear a championship medal so that I can create an undefeated golden body for myself and be able to deal with the bloody storms that follow with dignity.

.

So for my future happy life, I will leave a strong mark in the best age and the best time. For this goal, I will push away all roadblocks on this road, even if there is a huge rock in front of me,

I will also break him piece by piece."

Stern did not speak this time, but made a "please continue speaking" gesture.

"I am very happy to have talked so much with you today, because I know that you are also a very straightforward person, unlike some (upright) guests who talk about benevolence, justice and morality.

My purpose is very clear. The situation of the Pacers this year is just right, and our strength has also arrived. And I, Lin En, as a Chinese, have an influence that is not inferior to other stars in Asia and Europe. Among the younger generation,

I'm sure I'm the first one.

From the relevant data provided to me by Twitter, I know that if the alliance wants to continue to expand its influence in the world.
To be continued...
