Double probe

Chapter 156

After Yang Fei hung up the phone, he lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. It may be because he slept on the plane for more than [-] hours. He really couldn't fall asleep again, so he wandered around in the room. The only way is to stand on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel room and look at the scenery outside. After all, although this is the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the modernization here is still worse than some big cities in the United States, but because of this, It also has its own cultural characteristics, because the Democratic Republic of the Congo was a Belgian colony before, so there is still a lot of Belgian culture mixed in here, which has a special flavor.

Yang Fei looked at the time, it was already three o'clock in the morning here, but he still didn't feel sleepy at all, Yang Fei shook his head, and made up his mind that he would never use sleep to pass the time on the plane anymore.

Yang Fei sat on the bed boredly, turned on the TV, and watched the football match boredly, because the official language here is French, so he didn't see a reason for the whole game, it was just to pass the time, and finally At dawn, Yang Fei came to the restaurant of the hotel alone, sat in and ordered a breakfast, because Kinshasa is the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the hotel he stayed in was a relatively good hotel in Kinshasa, so he After ordering a more traditional Western-style breakfast, Yang Fei called Steve Mobley and Paraty Houston and asked them to come down for breakfast.

After the three of them had finished their breakfast, the scout from the Rockets just came over. Yang Fei motioned for him to order a breakfast too, but the scout shook his head and said, "No, I ate it at home this morning. , we can go to see Cedric Formelumbe now, I made an appointment with him yesterday for this morning, you see, if you finish eating, let's go there?"

Yang Fei looked at Steve Mobley and Palatine Houston who had finished eating, then nodded, and said, "Let's go! Hurry up sooner rather than later, let's get him first, and then talk about other things." Said After that, he stood up first and walked outside.

Walking to the door, Yang Fei asked the scout, "Did you drive here today?"

The scout nodded and said, "He came by car, over there." After speaking, he led them towards his car.

The four of them arrived at the gate of Kinshasa University in a short time. They parked the car in the parking lot, got out of the car, and saw a tall figure standing at the gate of the school. Yang Fei and the other three were scouting The scout introduced to the tall young man in French: "This is Mr. Yang Fei, the deputy general manager and scouting director of the Houston Rockets," and then he spoke to Yang in English. Fei said: "Mr. Yang, this is the Cedric Formulumbu you want to see."

Yang Fei took the lead to go up and stretched out his hand and said in the French he just learned: "Hello."

Cedric Formelumbo smiled and said in not very authentic English: "Hello."

After shaking hands, Cedric Formulenbu said in fairly fluent English: "Mr. Yang, I heard that you are here to see me this time?"

Yang Fei nodded and said: "Yes, I came here just for you, because I saw your scouting report, and your data and some things, I didn't see what I wanted to know, so I just Came here in person."

Cedric Formulumb smiled and said, "Thank you for taking me so seriously, but I want to know, are you here just to see me or do you want me to go with you?"

Yang Fei was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Then what do you mean?"

Cedric Formulumbu said: "Actually, I also thought about going to the draft next year, but you also know that your scouting report does not have my detailed information, so I am not sure whether I can be selected. , do you have any other good suggestions?"

Yang Fei thought for a while, and then said: "You are not yet 19 years old, which means you are not allowed to play in American professional leagues, but I can contact the Chinese men's basketball league first and let you go to China first. Play professional games for a year, so that you can get a preliminary understanding of the situation in a slightly higher professional league, but now it depends on your personal thoughts, if you really go to China to play, what will happen to your studies?"

Cedric Formelumbo said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, I have learned almost all my studies in the university, it's just a diploma, don't worry about it! I haven't had one for almost a year I have played basketball games, so I want to start playing against a lower professional league. I have heard of the Chinese Men’s Basketball League you mentioned, and I have watched their games. I think it is a good place to practice. I would like to go."

Yang Fei nodded, and then said: "Actually, letting you go there to play games, I think it will be an improvement for you. If you can show your worth there, next year if you participate in the draft, the probability of you being selected will be very high." very high."

Cedric Formulumbo shook his head and said, "I don't plan to participate in the draft. I want to ask you now, can I play for your team next year?"

Yang Fei was taken aback, and then asked: "What do you mean by that? You don't plan to participate in the draft? You want to join the team directly?" After speaking, he saw Cedric Fumulumbu nodded, and then thought for a while , Said: "Yes, but this matter must be kept secret, because this is an illegal operation, we can sign you directly from the Chinese League as a free agent, but your salary in the first year will not be very high, and you must not have a career in the United States." There have been results in the basketball league.”

Cedric Formelumbo nodded without saying anything.

Yang Fei asked curiously, "Why did you make such a choice?"

Cedric Formulumbu said: "I chose this because of two people, both of whom belong to your team, one is Bismarck Biyombo, who is from my hometown, and the other is Rudy Fields, who The beginning of your career was discovered by you in this way."

Yang Fei didn't know how to answer when he heard Cedric Fumulumbu say that.After thinking for a while, he said: "In fact, Rudy is a genius. He was not selected by any team because other teams did not find his potential. If you choose this way, your salary in the first one to two years may not be enough. It will be very high, do you understand this?"

Cedric Fumulumbu thought for a moment, then bowed to Yang Fei, and said, "Thank you."
