Double probe

Chapter 2 A New Beginning

The plane landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport. When Yang Fei walked out of the airport, he saw someone holding a sign saying Yang Fei. Yang Fei walked over and said, "Hello, are you going to pick up Yang Fei? Are you ?” The person holding the sign replied: “I am Chairman Yao’s secretary, he asked me to pick you up, please get in the car!” After speaking, he led Yang Fei to the car.

Speechless all the way.

Soon the car drove into a villa area, the environment was relatively clean, it is estimated that any star would not particularly like the feeling of being surrounded by crowds.

The car stopped at the door of a villa, and Yao Ming was wearing a sportswear to greet Yang Fei. Yang Fei was flattered, Shangqian shook hands with Yao Ming and said, "Chairman Yao, why did you go out to pick me up in person?" Yao Ming said with a friendly smile : "How can there be no reason for the host not to come out in person to welcome guests? You came just in time, come with me to welcome another guest." Yang Fei was a little curious, and there are guests?Who is the one?
After more than ten minutes, I saw a black Volkswagen car approaching from a distance. When the car stopped, a slightly fat foreigner who was a little taller than himself got out of the car. Fei saw that he looked familiar, but couldn't remember who it was, and couldn't ask questions, so he could only follow behind Yao Ming and walked forward.

"Hi, Darryl, long time no see, how about the long-distance flight? How are you?" Yao Ming greeted foreigners in very fluent English.

When Yang Fei heard this sentence, he suddenly remembered who this person was. He was the general manager of the Houston Rockets, Daryl Morey.

Just when Yang Fei was surprised, Yao Ming had finished exchanging greetings with Morey, and turned his head to introduce Yang Fei, "Darryl, this is the Yang Fei I mentioned to you." Then he said to Yang Fei in Chinese: "I don't need this one. Are you introducing me?" Yang Fei immediately shook his head and said, "No, hello, Mr. Morey." He stretched out his hand, of course the latter was in English.Morey shook hands with Yang Fei and said, "Hello, Mr. Yang." "Okay, don't stand at the door anymore, please come in!" Yao Ming invited as the host.

Walked into the restaurant and sat down one after another.

Yao Ming raised his glass and said, "Welcome Darrell and Yang Fei to my house as guests. Cheers!" Everyone clinked their glasses and took a sip.

During the chat, after eating for a while, Yao Ming said to Morey: "Darrell, how is the team doing now? Is it okay?" Morey said with a sad face: "Oh, it's not bad, but the overseas part of the scouting still needs to be done. You know I’m a perfectionist.” Yao Ming nodded with a smile, and said, “I have an idea now, that is, let Yang Fei go to Houston with you, and learn more about scouting from you. What do you think?" Morey turned his head and looked at Yang Fei and said, "Oh, that's right! He looks very young, he should have just graduated from knowledge, so he has done it before. What? For example, what have you studied or been engaged in? Can he still speak English?” After listening to the interface, Yang Fei said in very fluent English: “Mr. Morey, I have just graduated, and I am a graduate of the Police University. Sir, I majored in investigative science in college, and I also taught myself statistics. Although I can’t compare with you as a professional data analyst, I think the overall statistics should not be a problem. Also, do you think my English level is not good enough? Is it okay?" Morey was very surprised after hearing this, and said: "Wow, your English is very good, but I want to ask you a few questions first, can I?" After a few questions, Morey said: "You I am very satisfied with the answer, I think you can go to the United States with me to have a try, I am happy to help Yao Ming, but let me tell you first, the salary during the internship period is very low!" After speaking, he said to Yao Ming: "Hey , Yao, thank you very much for introducing Yang to me, I can see his potential in scouting, I think he will be a good helper."

And just like that, the meal passed in harmony and interview.

With Yao Ming's help, the work visa to the United States was quickly processed.

Yang Fei stood at the airport watching the flow of people passing by, looking at his parents and Yao Ming who came to see him off, Yang Fei's tears were about to come down, he turned around in a hurry, wiped away the tears in his eyes secretly, and Turning around, she said to her parents: "I'm leaving, don't worry about me, I will take care of myself, don't worry!" Then she turned to Yao Ming and said, "Brother Yao, thank you, I will not let you down. "After speaking, he bowed to the three of them, turned around and entered the security check at the airport.

After nearly 195 hours of travel, Yang Fei finally arrived at George Bush Airport in Houston. Yang Fei walked out of the airport after picking up his luggage and saw Morey, who was [-] cm tall and slightly fat. Morey came forward and hugged him. : "Hi, Yang, I finally expected you to come." Yang Fei hugged Morey and said, "Hi, Darrell, thank you for coming to pick me up, why did you come in person?" You, I happen to have nothing to do today, so I came here. Let’s go! I’ll take you to the hotel to stay. Tomorrow I’ll take you to see the team. By the way, Zhou knew you were coming, so he said he wanted to treat you to dinner. "When Yang Fei heard it, Zhou wants to invite me to dinner?Zhou Qi?Immediately relieved, it should be.Yang Fei didn't ask any further questions, and followed Morey into the car driven by Morey.

Soon they came to the hotel, and Morey told Yang Fei many things along the way, including the Rockets players, including the job responsibilities of scouts, many, many.

When Yang Fei was lying on the bed in the hotel, looking at the ceiling, thinking a lot, after calling his parents to report his safety, he contacted Yao Ming again.They are very supportive of themselves, and they must work hard not to let them down.

In such thoughts, Yang Fei fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Yang Fei was woken up by the sound of the phone. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Morey's call, and immediately answered the channel: "Hi, Darrell." Morey's voice rang through the receiver: "Hi, Yang, are you up? Can I pick you up later?" Yang Fei replied, "Although I'm still a little sleepy, but it's okay, then I'll tidy up now and wait for your boss." After Yang Fei hung up the phone, Quickly got up, began to wash, put on a sportswear, sat on the sofa and waited for Morey.

About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door. Yang Fei opened the door and saw Morey. Morey looked at Yang Fei with some surprise and said, "Oh, Yang, you need to change this clothes, because you have to meet the team owner later." There are staff, and by the way, there are players, so you need to wear formal clothes, are you ready?" Yang Fei immediately woke up and said, "Oh, I'm ready, wait for me for a minute." Put on your prepared suit and tie.Follow Morey out of the hotel and get into Morey's car.

Soon the car arrived at the team's office area in downtown Houston, and Yang Fei followed Morey into a building.The moment Yang Fei walked into the office, Yang Fei was stunned, because there were many people in the office, they were all busy with their own affairs, and did not pay attention to Morey and Yang Fei.Morey took Yang Fei into the office located at the innermost side of the office area. Yang Fei found the most obvious difference when he walked into this office. Although this office is not very big, it is quite different from the outside, because the There are many computers or monitors on the only desk, and a cabinet of folders is placed behind the office chair.

Sitting on the office chair, Mo Lei said to Yang Fei, "Please sit down!" After Yang Fei sat down, Mo Lei continued to speak: "Yang, you just arrived yesterday, you shouldn't be allowed to enter the role so quickly. , but Yao told you that he wants you to grow up as soon as possible, and I am Yao's friend, so I will help you adapt to your current role as soon as possible, do you think there is any problem?"

Yang Fei shook his head and said: "No problem, I also hope to integrate in as soon as possible, because the Rockets are also one of my favorite teams, please forgive me for saying one." Morey made an indifferent expression, and said Signal him to continue.Yang Fei continued: "I think I can learn a lot here, and if I do something wrong, I hope you can help me more." Morey nodded noncommittally and said: "I am here before you I have reported your situation to my current boss, Mr. Fertitta. He welcomes you very much and is willing to give you a young man a chance. I will take you to meet him when he finishes his work. .I will take you to meet the players later, I think you will also hope to meet them. Let's go! I will take you to meet my colleagues first."

After speaking, he got up and took Yang Fei out of the office, stood at the door of the office, and shouted: "Hi, brothers!" After everyone turned their eyes to this side, they continued: "Let me introduce to you, this is the newcomer My scout, Yang Fei." Yang Fei nodded to everyone and said, "Hi everyone, my name is Yang Fei, and I hope to take care of you in the future." Everyone applauded to express their welcome.Morey said: "Okay! Let's keep busy with the work at hand!" After speaking, he motioned Yang Fei to follow him.

Yang Fei followed Morey to a man who was about 60 years old. Morey introduced: "Yang, this is our senior scout here, Thomas, Thomas, this is Yang, what does he not know? I hope you Can you help him, can you?" Thomas looked at Yang Fei, and said to Morey, "Okay, thank you for finding such a young assistant for me." After speaking, he turned his head to Yang Fei and stretched out his hand Said: "Hello, Yang." Yang Fei held Thomas' hand and said: "Hello."

Morey said at this time: "Thomas, I'm going to take Yang to see the boss first. Do you have anything to say to him? If not, wait until Yang comes to work tomorrow, okay?" Thomas indicated yes, and then said I bowed my head and sorted out the information.

Yang Fei followed Morey into Morey's car again.After a short drive, I arrived at Fertitta's office in downtown Houston.

When Yang Fei met Fertitta for the first time, the only thing he felt was that he was a very shrewd and successful businessman.

Fertitta very gentlemanly invited Morey and Yang Fei into the office. They chatted for more than an hour and had lunch together. Due to jet lag, Yang Fei didn't eat much.Morey and Yang Fei got up and said goodbye, got in the car and drove to Toyota Center Arena.On the way, Morey told Yang Fei a lot about his experience in statistics.

The car was parked in the parking lot outside the Toyota Center Arena. Yang Fei followed Morey into the arena through the staff passage, and saw stars that were basically invisible in China.Including his idol, Chris Paul.
