Chapter 945
Li Ba nodded, and said to the girl: "Sissi, except for senbei and wineries, our investments are all long-term investments, and we don't have much to do in the future, just look at the monthly reports, quarterly reports, and annual reports of each company."

The girl nodded, and said to Gao Yuanyuan with a smile: "Sister Yuanyuan, you have to teach me in the future."

"Okay, I'm trapped by your husband and wife. I have matched you, and now I have to give you money to raise your baby." Gao Yuanyuan said helplessly.

"Haha..." Everyone at the dinner table laughed.

"By the way, are you going to the draft day?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

Li Ba shook his head and said, "I won't go. Besides, you and Bill Duffy can arrange to announce that I will give up the WBC world title."

"It's a pity." Dayao shook his head.

"It's nothing to regret. Boxing is just for fun, let's talk about it later." Li Ba said.

The next day, Gao Yuanyuan and Dayao left.

The girl made the decision, and each sent two boxes of top quality wines, but they didn't take them away, and temporarily stored them in the wine cellar.

This afternoon, the castle recruited two workers and a cook again.

The two workers are locals, both middle-aged women, one white and one black, responsible for cleaning and other housework.

The cook was hired by a San Francisco housekeeping company. She was also a Chinese named Huang Ling. She was also a first-generation immigrant. She immigrated to the United States less than two years ago, and her history is shorter than that of Zhang Yuzhen.

Li Ba found that many people immigrated to the United States in the past few years. He knew that the development in the country was very good, but he didn't understand why these people abandoned the good development situation in the country and came to the United States.

People like Zhang Yuzhen and Huang Ling have good jobs in China and have achieved good results. Otherwise, they would have no capital, but they are just working as cooks for their family here. Is it necessary?Far less decent than domestic ones.

Zhang Yuzhen did not follow this time. Her family is in Phoenix, her daughter is studying there, and her husband also works there. It is impossible to come here to work. Li Ba and the girl gave her three months' salary more, which ended her work contract.

With three more people, Zhou Yuehe and Liu Xiaoli would be more relaxed. Otherwise, with such a big castle, the daily housework would be enough for them to have a headache.

Another day later, guests came to the castle, Liu Xiaoli's younger sister and Sissy's cousin Liu Qian.

On June 6, Gao Yuanyuan and Bill Duffy held a press conference on behalf of Li Ba, officially announcing their abandonment of the WBC world heavyweight title.

On June 6, Suns chairman and general manager Jerry Colangelo and Brian Colangelo announced the end of their contract with the Suns and resigned.

Owner Savor held a grand press conference to thank Jerry Colangelo for his contribution to the Suns.

Colangelo's departure symbolizes that the Suns have ended the Colangelo era and entered a new era.

At the same time, Savor announced that he had assumed the chairmanship, and then hired former Suns player Steve Kerr as general manager.

On June 6, Kobe came to visit from Los Angeles.

Li Ba took him to visit the winery, and the wine cellar also went down.

Seeing the huge wine cellar with countless bottles of wine in the cellar, Kobe looked envious and said that he also wanted to build such a winery.

"How much is that?" Bryant asked.

"There are nearly 90 bottles here, with an output of more than two years." Li Ba laughed.

"Oh, 90 bottles, how much is it worth? These are also included in your purchase price?" Bryant asked.

"Of course not. I paid for these separately, 7000 million US dollars. If I sell them, there will be a profit of 1000 million." Li Ba laughed.

"I know Yao also wants to invest in this, has he decided?" Bryant asked.

"It's in progress." Li Ba said.

"Then I will do it too, we will be neighbors here in the future." Kobe smiled.

The two stayed under the wine cellar for an hour before Kobe reluctantly came up.

"Will the Lakers lineup be adjusted?" Li Ba asked.

"You're gone, we won't make major adjustments, we'll just strengthen the bench lineup properly," Bryant said.

"The Heat, Grizzlies, and Mavericks will continue to strengthen," Li Ba said.

"James has not yet completed the contract extension with the Cavaliers. They are chasing LeBron James and have secretly started."

Bryant said.

After lunch, Kobe left with two boxes of wine from Li Ba.

In the past few days, the newly built basketball room, boxing room, and fitness room have all been completed. In the next few days, except for spending time with his wife, Li Ba's time is basically spent on these areas, and he does not intervene in the affairs of the winery.

He paid attention to Alian's draft prices, and he kept fluctuating among the top seven, and the highest one even rushed to No.4.

Also on this day, the Suns announced the arrival of a new head coach, former NBA All-Star Terry Porter.

Cole and Terry Porter told the media at the press conference that they will continue to build the team's defensive style.

On the 26th, Gao Yuanyuan brought Alian to New York, preparing to participate in the draft.

At noon, the Suns owner Savor called her and wanted to introduce her to the new general manager Cole.

The three met at a restaurant and chatted.

Of course, the content of the chat was inseparable from Li Ba. Finally, Savor mentioned the draft. He told Gao Yuanyuan that the team's first round pick will choose her player Marc Gasol.

In the afternoon, Gao Yuanyuan met Pau Gasol.

Marc Gasol played in the league in Spain, but participated in this year's draft, but the draft market was mediocre, so he didn't come this time.

NBA teams are still very cautious in choosing overseas players, because players like Marc Gasol who play overseas will not necessarily join the NBA even if they are selected.

"Paul, if Mark is selected, can he guarantee to leave the Spanish League?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

Gasol hesitated, and finally said: "If it is the first round, if you can sign a contract, it should be possible, but in the second round, the team may not necessarily sign a contract, and Spain is not very good at work."

"I'm talking about the first round." Gao Yuanyuan asked.

Pau Gasol said happily after hearing this: "Gao, is there any team sure to draft Mark in the first round? Is it the Suns?"

Gao Yuanyuan said with a smile: "The Suns are short of a center right now. Mark can be used when he comes. But the Suns are the No. 28 pick. Whether they can be selected depends on the opportunity."

Gasol said with a smile: "Mark's market is mediocre. He has never made it to the first round. Being selected at No. 28 is already very good. In fact, his contract in Spain has always been a confusion for him in the draft."

"So the team must make sure that after selecting him, he can sign with the team next season." Gao Yuanyuan emphasized.

"Spain left it to me to solve, if the first round is selected, I guarantee he can sign." Gasol laughed.
