Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 829
Frank and others stayed on the island for more than a week. In the end, Li Weisi couldn't take it anymore and kept clamoring to go back. In the end, Frank had to take a group of people back to San Francisco. At the same time, he secretly swore in his heart that he would either not bring For Li Weisi, either, he must build the indoor arena first.

Back in San Francisco, Li Weisi finally lived the regular life he wanted. Every day at home and in the arena, it was both regular and boring.

Of course, it is impossible to completely live a life isolated from the world. As a superstar who is in the limelight, he is doomed to be the darling of the media, and it is almost commonplace for him to be stared at by the media all the time.

However, the general media really did not interfere with Li Weisi's life. What really disturbed Li Weisi were the two guests from the other side of the ocean.

"Hello!" After Li Weisi greeted the two people in front of him, he sat on the sofa in Frank's office.

"Long time no see, brother Si!" Hu Weidong stroked his glasses and called Li Weisi.

"It didn't take long, only three months. If you hadn't left the Bulls, I'm afraid we could still meet on the field in June!" Li Weisi said with a little regret.

"Yes, but it will be difficult to see in the future, because I am going back to China to play games!"

"What? Going back to China? Why?" Hearing that Hu Weidong was going back to China, Li Weisi's face changed suddenly, and at the same time he looked at Frank habitually.

"Don't look at me like that, it's Weidong's own choice." Frank shrugged at the side, expressing that the nonsense was true.

"Let me talk about this matter!" At this moment, a middle-aged man beside Hu Weidong suddenly said.

"Director Zhang, please tell me! Otherwise, Li Weisi doesn't know how long he will be entangled!" Frank said immediately at this time.

"Mr. Li, the reason why Xiaohu wants to return to China is mainly because he heard that there will be a basketball league in China, and he wants to do his part for the country and his hometown team." This person was called Director Zhang by Frank. The man took the initiative to explain.

"Holding a league game?" Hearing this, Li Weisi immediately regained his energy, so much so that he put Hu Weidong's return to China to play for the time being.

"That's right, in order to further improve the level of domestic basketball and at the same time try to market sports, after years of careful consideration, the Basketball Association finally decided to refer to the NBA and establish our own league." Director Zhang continued to explain.

"This is a good thing! However, Hu's ability does not help much in such a low-level domestic league."

"We are also very aware of this, but after all, the entire league is being established for the first time, and everything is being explored, including the sale of tickets, and if Xiaohu can play the league, then the promotion of the league, the sale of tickets, etc. Very beneficial."

"That's right, but..."

"There is nothing wrong with Sige, thank you for your concern for me, but to be able to return to the country, return to my hometown, play for the hometown team, and help the establishment of the domestic league, it is my duty!" Hu Weidong said solemnly at this time.

"Okay, since you've already made up your mind, I wish you good luck. If you need any help, just tell me!" Although Li Weisi felt a little sorry, seeing Hu Weidong's firm attitude, he had no choice but to support him in the end.

"Actually, I asked Xiao Hu to bring me here this time because I wanted to ask Mr. Li and Mr. Frank." Speaking of this, Director Zhang also took the initiative to confess his reason for coming.

It turns out that although the framework of the league has been set up, it is only waiting for 12 participating teams to compete in December this year, but before the start of the league, the biggest problem is money!

As Huaxia in the 90s, it was an era when all kinds of wastes were being rejuvenated and people were moving forward. At this time, all walks of life needed money, so even if it was to establish the country's No. [-] basketball league, what was in front of them was still an unavoidable challenge. Topic, pull investment.

After searching all over the country for investors, they were not satisfied, so they looked overseas again, and the first thing that popped into their minds... The investor was naturally Frank, who had a long and profound friendship with the Basketball Association. And Li Weisi.

"So that's the case! How much do you want?" Li Weisi didn't know the skills of negotiating business, so he said straightforwardly.

Director Zhang hesitated for a moment, looked at Hu Weidong again, then stretched out five fingers, and emphasized: "This must be US dollars!"

"Oh, 500 million US dollars! I'm afraid this is a bit difficult!" Seeing this number, Li Weisi frowned.

"No... cough cough cough..." Director Zhang who was about to speak was suddenly choked by saliva and coughed non-stop.

At this time, Hu Weidong patted Director Zhang on the back, and said to Li Weisi: "Brother Wei Si, you misunderstood, in fact, we..."

However, before Hu Weidong could finish speaking, Li Weisi waved his hand suddenly and said, "Forget it, let's go to 500 million! Is 500 million enough?"

"Ah? No, for Brother Si..." This time, before Hu Weidong finished speaking, Director Zhang, who had been coughing, suddenly covered Hu Weidong's mouth, and said regardless of coughing; "Enough,...cough cough, enough , Absolutely... Ahem, enough, thank you so much! Mr. Li!"

"You're welcome. It's what I've always wanted to do to help the country's sports industry develop even better." Li Weisi said modestly.

"Wait!" At this moment, Frank, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

Hearing Frank's voice, Director Zhang's heart skipped a beat, thinking: It's over now, the 500 million you got is about to fly away.

"I will not stop Li Weisi's 500 million, but this 500 million is definitely not a donation, but a sponsorship in the name of the 'Professor' sporting goods company!" Frank explained.

"But, our sponsor has already been set, it's 55..."

It's a pity that before Hu Weidong finished speaking, Director Zhang said again: "No problem, such a large sum of money can be regarded as sponsorship!"

"Well, we hope to be the exclusive title sponsor of the league, the sponsor of sports apparel, and the sponsor of sports equipment." As soon as Frank opened his mouth, he planned to cover all three of their most important items.

"This...I have no objection personally, but I still need to go back to the meeting to discuss it. I personally don't have this authority." Director Zhang replied after thinking for a while.

"Okay, that's all I have. Wei Si, do you have any questions?"

"Weidong, Director Zhang, do you have any questions?" Regarding Frank's inquiry, Li Weisi answered Frank's question by asking others.

"Well, before the start of the league, I would like to ask you to record a video to cheer for the league when it was created..."
