Chapter 196 Interview
This courtyard house is a courtyard with two entrances. There are eight households living in the front and back. Zhao Dong’s house has four rooms, one for him and his brother, one for his grandparents, one for his parents, one for the living room, and the kitchen is set up outside. shed.

In terms of their family conditions, their father, Zhao Zhenguo, worked in the Municipal Public Security Bureau after he changed his job, and now he is also a deputy department level. His mother works in the Municipal Organization Department, and has become a good person. Grandparents are all retired military cadres. , It is completely possible to live in the military compound, or the parents’ unit will also have allocated housing, why should they be crowded into this courtyard?

That's because the old man Zhao Zhongguo is a native of Beijing, and these rooms were passed down from his ancestors, so he has lived here since he retired and is unwilling to move out.

But that was in the past. In the past two years, three houses have been moved away. After Zhao Dong’s family became rich, Li Meizhu simply bought all three houses. Now there are many rooms in the house, and there is also a formal kitchen. for a moment.

After Zhao Dong settled Lindsay, it was almost one o'clock, and Li Meizhu brought up the dumplings.

"Cabbage stuffed with pork, girl, is it delicious?" Li Meizhu asked Lindsay.

"It's delicious and very fragrant. My mother has made this kind of dumplings before. It tastes like my mother's. Thank you, auntie." Lindsay said with a smile.

"Hey, the girl is really good, so eat more."

Li Meizhu smiled, and put a few more dumplings on Lindsay's plate.

"Our yard has a history of more than 200 years. It's very old. I don't know if it's right for my mother to buy it."

When Zhao Dong mentioned that he could buy some courtyard houses for investment, Li Meizhu said with some concern.

Zhao Dong looked at it, nodded and said: "Our yard is too ordinary, let's keep it, we bought other yards, and put them here."

"But the old neighbors here can't let it go, it's so lively living here." Li Meizhu said.

"If you don't move, your grandpa's grandpa's grandpa will live here, where will you move?" The old man Zhao Zhongguo was not happy.

"Yes, yes, grandpa won't move if you don't want to move." Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"Yeah." The old man was satisfied now.

But Zhao Dacheng didn't think so, and shouted: "Brother, it's better to buy a commercial house. It's so comfortable to live in. I asked my mother to buy a few commercial houses, but she just wouldn't listen."

"That's your brother's money, can mom spend it carelessly?"

Li Meizhu gave the eldest son a brainstorm as he spoke.

"Didn't I just talk?" Zhao Dacheng complained with his mouth curled up.

Seeing his elder brother deflated in front of his mother, Zhao Dong laughed.

He is smarter than his elder brother, taller, and more handsome. His mother has favored him since he was a child, and he is the only one who eats, drinks, and plays, and his elder brother has suffered a lot since he was a child.

When he was young, he caused troubles outside, and his elder brother helped him take the blame. In his last life, he didn't get along well, and his elder brother kept helping him, which made him divorce his sister-in-law. To be honest, he owed his elder brother a lot.

But in this life, when he plays in the United States, his family can't take care of him at all. Parents, grandparents, four of them have to be taken care of by his elder brother, who is the most important person in the family. alternative.

"Dongdong, do you still often fight outside?" At this time, the old man asked casually.

"Hey, some people deserve a beating." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Well, Americans just need a beating. If you beat him down, he will be honest and look at you. If you don't beat him down, he will shit and pee on your head." The old man said with experience. .

"You are so right..."

Zhao Dong immediately started flattering and was very experienced.

Zhao Dacheng rolled his eyes, my brother could tell since he was young, his mouth is stupid, so he always suffers, the family only dotes on his brother, and vents his anger on him.

After eating dumplings, Zhao Dong took Lindsay around the courtyard and alleys in the afternoon, chatted with neighbors about the past, and got together with some childhood playmates.

Lindsay was a little sleepy, but he couldn't take a rest because of jet lag, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

In the evening, 200 people from the whole alley went to the restaurant with Zhao's family. Many people didn't have time, otherwise there would be more people.

"It's so lively!"

There were too many people, although Lindsay was not used to it, she had never participated in activities with so many people, but she was still very happy and drowsiness disappeared.

After a good night's sleep, Zhao Dong woke up early the next morning.

"Mom, brother and I are going out to do errands."

"Hey, are you coming back at noon?"

"No, eat outside."

After saying hello, he took Lin Sai and Zhao Dacheng away in a Jetta.

After having breakfast outside, the three of them came to Xinrui Foundation.

This is a headhunting company. It has only been in China for two years, and it is still in the early stage of its business. It can be regarded as one of the earliest headhunting companies in China.

Zhao Dong has no contacts in the country. He needs talents if he wants to start a company, so he found Xinrui Foundation.

After staying in Xinrui Jichuang for an hour and reporting the conditions to the company, the three of Zhao Dong came to Zhao Dacheng's Sanda club.

The club is called Dongcheng Club, and there is also a fitness club attached. Sanda can't make money now, it is purely Zhao Dacheng's hobby, and the fitness club makes money, which is the main management project.

This fitness department can accommodate 150 people to exercise at the same time. The rules are not bad in today's Beijing, not too big or too small.

Especially the equipment, most of which are very professional equipment that Zhao Dong bought from abroad. In China, it is considered the most advanced and complete in Beijing. Professional athletes can train here.

The only flaw is the level of the trainer, a bit amateur, can only deal with the requirements of ordinary people, not professional enough.

"Brother, how is business?"

It was only morning, and there was no one there, Zhao Dong asked after looking at it.

"It's okay, there's money to be made." Zhao Dacheng smiled.

"Do you sell cards?" Zhao Dong asked.

"What card?" Zhao Dacheng asked suspiciously.

"Annual card and monthly card..."

After Zhao Dong explained it, Zhao Dacheng finally understood, and said with some doubts: "I don't know if anyone will buy it like this? It costs so much money at once."

"You don't care if anyone buys it, it doesn't cost much if you do it," Zhao Dong said.

He looked again, and there was no picture of him here, didn't my brother call him by name?

"I want to hit you in the name, but my mother won't let me, because I'm afraid I'll embarrass you." After he asked, Zhao Dacheng said embarrassingly.

Zhao Dong thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll visit Director Liu tomorrow and ask her for help, see if I can get in touch and make this a training base for the national team."

He thinks this is okay. The training base of the national team for many sports in Beijing is located at Tsinghua University, including the basketball team, but the equipment there may not be as complete and advanced as here.

In addition, he can also invite a group of high-level trainers from the United States to train a group of local trainers here, which can improve the professional level here as a whole and create a real professional training base.

At noon, Zhao Dong brought Lindsay to Quanjude.

Quanjude, which will be listed on the market in the future, will not come to old Beijing. The people who come here to eat roast duck are all foreigners and foreigners.

But the current Quanjude still has quality assurance, otherwise he would not have brought Lindsay here.

When he, a big celebrity, came here, Quanjude specially arranged for the best master sliced ​​duck. The craftsmanship is not covered, the thickness is uniform, and it is fast and neat.

After Zhao Dong gave Lindsay a roll, Lindsay learned it right away and started to operate it by himself.

"Aiweier, is it delicious?" Zhao Dong asked with a smile.

"Yeah, it's just a little oily." Lindsay laughed.

"Drink some duck rack soup to relieve the oil later." Zhao Dong laughed.

In the afternoon, the two went to Tiananmen Square.

"Mom said about Tiananmen, I remember."

Standing on the Tiananmen Gate Tower, Lindsay looked very happy.

"Come on, Avril, let's go in."

After taking pictures, the two entered the Forbidden City from Tiananmen Square.

On the next Saturday morning, Zhao Dong went to visit Liu Yumin's home with the gift he had prepared.

At that time, the Liu family was still living in the old tube building of the Sports Commission, and the new dormitory building had not yet been repaired. Liu Yumin was waiting outside the gate.

"Liu Chu, hello, please wait."

"Zhao Dong, here we come. We live on the seventh floor, enough for you to climb. Oh, what else are you talking about?"

"It should be, it should be, how can I come to the door empty-handed?"

After exchanging greetings, the two went in.

The people living here are all engaged in sports. When he came to Tongzilou, he was quickly recognized by many people who were exercising downstairs.

"Hey, isn't this the basketball star Zhao Dong who played in the United States? Liu Yumin was waiting downstairs early in the morning, so it was him?"

"I mentioned a lot of things, do you want to join the national team? Doesn't he know that Liu Yumin has lost his voice in the basketball department?"

"If you offend Director Xu, of course you have to stand aside."

"Old Liu is very capable, and single-handedly launched the CBA. It's a pity that he was picked!"

After the two of Zhao Dong went upstairs, these people started discussing one after another.

When they came to Liu's house, Liu Yumin's husband and children were there. After greeting Zhao Dong, they went out.

"Chu Liu, is the basketball management center working on it now?"

"It hasn't been announced yet, but it's coming soon. There should be no problem by the end of the year. Not only will basketball be reformed, but the sports committee will also be reformed next year, and the General Administration of Sports will be established."

After sitting down, Liu Yumin brought a cup of tea over, and the two chatted.

Liu Yumin introduced the situation in various aspects, and Zhao Dong quickly got a general understanding of the situation in the domestic basketball world.

Zhao Dong was also very aware of her current predicament, and said with a smile: "Chu Liu, is the sports committee planning to recruit me now? Or not?"

"You must be recruited, otherwise there is no way to explain to the fans. But they will not start contacting you until the basketball management center is established and the new leader is on the horse." Liu Yumin said.

Zhao Dong nodded. Sooner or later, he will definitely join the national team. If he doesn't join the Chinese team, can he immigrate to the United States and join the dream team?

But he thinks Liu Yumin is much better than letting Xinnan become a superior.

In the domestic basketball circle, as far as he knows, many people, including the freshman Dazhi, call Liu Yumin Mother Liu, and she has a very high status in this industry.

Professional things can only be done by professional people, so he doesn't mind putting pressure on some people in the sports committee.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Chu Liu, I'm going to hold a press conference tomorrow, so you can attend it. I will announce at the press conference...my desire to join the national team."

"Okay, Zhao Dong, thank you very much! It's just that this will affect you." Liu Yumin said.

She knew that Zhao Dong was trying to build momentum for her and put pressure on some people, so Zhao Dong would have to bear a lot of pressure.

"It's okay. I hope that the person who manages China's basketball affairs is a person who really understands basketball. There is a little pressure, and I don't play in China, so I don't care." Zhao Dong laughed.

Next, he talked about Dongcheng Fitness Club.

"At present, in China, I think that including the national team, they are not very scientific in terms of training and cannot keep up with the level of the United States. This is what I think..."

"Oh, this is a good thing. With the introduction of advanced training methods, our physical training level must have made a big improvement. Zhao Dong, your idea is very good. Not only can we use it in basketball, but also in other sports. Useful, great!"

"Liu Chu, I don't know what financial requirements I have to join the national team?" Zhao Dong asked after thinking about Yao Dazhi's problems later.

Liu Yumin was startled: "What, what financial requirements?"

"It's about training fees." Zhao Dong reminded.

Liu Yumin was startled again: "You are not from the system, so what about training fees?"

She was really confused, because sports in this era have not yet been opened up, and they are all cultivated by the state with money and resources. Zhao Dong is the first one, and there is no such thing as a training fee.

Zhao Dong said with a smile: "I'm afraid that if someone offers me this, I'm afraid I won't accept it."

Liu Yumin nodded and said, "This has never happened to you, but the training fee is out of the question. The state didn't spend a dime for you, so how can there be any training fee? It's not justified!"

Zhao Dong said with a smile: "It's not that I'm reluctant to give money, it's just that I don't want to pay money that is not justified. But I also know that the country invests a lot in sports, and I have made money outside. Thinking about it, I set up this training base myself, invited a group of trainers and coaches from the United States to train a group of high-level trainers and coaches for the country, and regarded it as my contribution to the domestic sports industry.”

Liu Yumin slapped his thigh, stood up excitedly, and said, "Zhao Dong, if it can be done, the country and the people will never forget you."

"If you are poor, you will be good for yourself, if you are rich, you will benefit the world. We still remember the words of our ancestors." Zhao Dong laughed.

The reason why he wants to do this is that as long as he has the ability, this is indeed what he wants to do, and the second is that it can also enhance his influence in the domestic sports world.

He is going to be a sports brand, which can be regarded as an alternative sponsorship fee for the national team, and it is even taller.

"Zhao Dong, tell me, do you have any good suggestions for the domestic basketball industry?" Liu Yumin asked at this time, who is most concerned about and loves basketball.

Zhao Dong suddenly remembered something. Last year, the CUBA League, also known as the College Student League, was brewing in China. This year, the relevant regulations have been released, and the CUBA League should be officially launched next year.

"Liu Chu, how is the college student league going?" he asked.

Liu Yumin said: "This is led by the Chinese University Student Association. It will be launched next year. It has been finalized and approved by the Ministry of Education. Why, do you have any good ideas about this?"

Zhao Dongdao: "The NCAA in the United States is directly connected to the NBA. There is a complete set of year-round docking. College students from the NCAA can directly enter the NBA to play professional basketball through the draft. Do we have such an idea here?"

"No." Liu Yumin was startled, shook his head and said, "Our CBA has only just established itself, and the college student league is too late."

Zhao Dong knew that after Dayao came to power in later generations, CUBA began to connect with CBA and held a draft, but it was too late.

"Liu Chu, without the draft, those excellent players in the college league would not have the most direct access to the league, so many outstanding talents would be buried. In the NBA, the vast majority of players come from the NCAA, which shows that this method is It makes sense. In fact, we can consider it and spend a few years to get this out." He suggested.

Liu Yumin smiled wryly and said, "I have this idea, but I have no chance to do it, and I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future."

The two chatted for about an hour and a half before Zhao Dong left.

At noon, I took Lindsay to eat old Beijing dishes. While eating, Dayao's manager Zhang Mingji called and said that he planned to visit Beijing in a while.

At noon, after lunch, when she was about to take Lindsay to pay homage to her grandparents in the Chaoyang Cemetery, Xinrui Jichuang called and said that he had selected two management talents for him and invited him for an interview.

One is Chen Jian, male, 36 years old, native of Beijing, graduated from Tsinghua University, and holds a master’s degree in Economics and Management from the University of Hong Kong. He has worked in the Hong Kong Adidas headquarters for 4 years. The highest position is the deputy manager of the sales department. He left ten days ago and returned to Beijing for development. Did not find a suitable job.

One is Huang Zhiwen, male, 42 years old, from Tianjin. He graduated from Fudan University with a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree from the University of Southern California’s Business School. He has worked for 13 years and has 12 years of work experience in the United States. He once worked at the headquarters of Puma in the United States. The highest position is vice president Assistant, returned to China a year ago for development, failed to start a business, and went bankrupt ten days ago.

Zhao Dong went with Lin Sai, and made an appointment with Chen Jian at the founding headquarters.

"Mr. Chen, hello. This is Miss Lindsay, my partner." Zhao Dong introduced after the meeting.

"Hello, Miss Lindsay, hello Feilong. Oh, I'm a basketball fan, and I'm your die-hard fan. I didn't expect that!"

Chen Jian looks full of energy, and he seems very familiar when meeting him. This is probably also the personality of Beijingers.

"Really? Then Mr. Chen, you have worked in Hong Kong for so many years, why did you choose to work in the Mainland?" Zhao Dong asked.

"It has just returned to China, and there is some instability there. Many people choose to emigrate. In addition, I think the development of the mainland is accelerating, so I just go back to Beijing to develop." Chen Jian said with a smile.

"My company doesn't even have a license, why did you choose this interview?" Zhao Dong asked curiously.

Chen Jian said with a smile: "Don't you know your popularity in China and Asia? Even in the world, you are considered a first-class sports superstar. You have made your influence out of the circle in just one season. Like you Such a person has a natural advantage in starting a sporting goods company.

What's more, the domestic sporting goods market is now the Li-Ning brand. Your domestic and international influence will definitely surpass it. As long as you produce excellent products, you can completely compete with him. "

"Li Ning?" Zhao Dong smiled.

Li Ning's first basketball shoes came out in 93, and the quality was not very good. As long as his products come out, and he is a basketball superstar himself, he can definitely sweep Li Ning's basketball shoes.

And in terms of funds, he should have an advantage. The scale of Li Ning in this era is not large, and it has not yet been listed.

In addition, he started to only make basketball shoes and concentrate on his advantages. There is no problem in the competition in this area.

After chatting for half an hour, Zhao Dong finally finished the interview, and then met Huang Zhiwen again.
