Chapter 77 The Ambitious Xiao Hua (Please recommend! Please collect!)

"David, the ratings are out!"

David Stern watched his special assistant, Adam Silver, walk over with a happy face. Seeing his young appearance, Stern was in a daze for a while, and couldn't help but recall the days when he just arrived in the NBA. look.

At that time, I was also a person full of confidence. Although I was 40 years old, my enthusiasm and drive were still not inferior to that of a 20-year-old young man. I finally lived up to O'Brien's expectations during the most difficult time in the NBA. Pulled back from the edge of the cliff.

Up to now, the NBA has been the second largest professional sports in the United States after the NFL in the ratings of professional sports in the United States!

When David Stern first took over the NBA, players gambling, drug abuse, alcoholism and other bad habits existed all the time. At that time, everyone was not interested in the NBA, and even many Americans refused to watch the NBA because they thought it was very disgusting. clean!

But since David Stern took over, he has vigorously rectified these bad phenomena, set the team's salary cap, and just pulled the NBA up in the eyes of everyone in disbelief.

From the original fourth to the current second, to develop a behemoth that is about to be destroyed to this point, only Stern himself knows how much he has paid.

"David! David?"

Shouts from light to heavy pulled Stern from his memory to reality. Stern looked at the young man with a frightened expression in front of him in some confusion. He smiled embarrassedly and said gently: "I'm sorry. , Adam, it is easy for people to lose their minds when they are old, so go ahead and talk."

Adam Silver breathed a sigh of relief. He was really a little scared just now. After all, Stern is 64 years old. It can be said that his health is not good during the years of high-intensity labor, and his blood vessels often have problems. I'm afraid that if something happens to him, the NBA will be shaken again.

"It's like this. The ratings of the Rockets vs. Suns broke through 8% when it was the highest in the United States, and reached an average of 6%. Overseas, especially in China, their viewership is preliminarily estimated to be around 300 million!"

Hearing this, Stern nodded and said with a smile: "China is almost our largest overseas market. They have more than one billion people, and many of them don't know the NBA. After Gao Tian entered the NBA, we must It is necessary to increase investment in the Chinese market, after all, the current American market is almost saturated, and it is difficult to make any major changes."

Xiao Hua's expression was very serious when he heard what Stern said. He knew what Stern meant when he told him this. It was telling him the alliance's next strategy. He knew very well how rare this opportunity was. , in the case of Stern is already very old, as long as he plays steadily, he is very likely to take over the most successful professional sports league in the world!
After coming from a law firm in New York to the NBA in 92, he has been here for 14 years in a blink of an eye. From an ignorant boy to a successful person now, he knows how these things come from, as long as he If you have been here all the time, you have always been the envy and admiration of others, and once you leave here, you will be like a rootless duckweed, blown away by a random wind.

With the behemoth of the NBA, I will never have to worry about my future, so I must keep walking and go to the highest place!

And recently, David Stern seems to have intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he wants to be the vice president of the alliance. You must know that once this matter is successful, then he will be one step closer to the highest scepter!
"Adam, what do you think?"

Thinking of this, he naturally knew how to answer Stern's seemingly unintentional inquiry, he smiled and said softly

"Yes, I think the market potential of Huaxia is really great. I think the most important task of the Alliance now is to deepen the connection with Huaxia and further explore this market! And it is said that Gao Tian will return to China next summer. It is great that we can Let the sun participate in next year's NBA Huaxia game!"

"Haha, your idea is very good, you can definitely consider it next year!"

Adam Silver looked at David Stern who was smiling at him and couldn't help feeling elated. As a person who has followed Stern for more than ten years, he knew that Stern was very satisfied with his performance. As long as my network is operated a little bit, the position of vice president seems to be impossible to escape!

At this time, the capital of China, CCTV's TV station.

Su Qun, who was walking on the road, was still a little excited thinking about the game just now. Two Chinese people stood at the same time on the highest stage of basketball to confront each other, and both were the main players of the team. What an exciting thing!
Probably Huaxia basketball is really on the right track, and the glory begins here!
Su Qun, who was indulging in the beautiful world of his fantasy, suddenly felt a strong force hit him directly, and he fell to the ground without any defense.

"Oh! Who! Don't you look at the road?"

"Sorry, sorry, are you okay?"

Su Qing looked worriedly at the young man who was knocked to the ground by herself. Just now, she was in a hurry to get the materials to sort out, but she didn't see someone at the corner and bumped into him directly.

She quickly helped the man rubbing his legs up, looked at him apologetically, and when she was about to apologize to him, she saw his face and shouted in surprise, "It's you? Reporter Su?"

Su Qun looked at the pretty girl in front of him speechlessly. Feeling the pain in his thigh, he couldn't help but frowned and asked, "What do you do? Why don't you look around!"

"I'm sorry, Reporter Su, I'm a reporter who just came for an internship. I was in a hurry to get the materials and ran too fast, so I didn't look at you! I'm so sorry!"

Su Qun felt a little embarrassed looking at the sincere girl in front of him, and he couldn't get angry anymore. After all, she was unintentional, and she was just an intern. He said helplessly, "Be careful next time, don't be in a hurry."

"Okay, I'm sorry Reporter Su, you are my idol! I didn't expect to meet my idol today, can you sign me?"

Su Qun rubbed his forehead amusedly. Looking at the girl's sincere eyes, he reluctantly took out his pen and asked casually while writing his signature, "What's your name? Which department do you work as an intern?"

"I'm Su Qing, and I'm currently working as an intern in the department responsible for the NBA."

"Oh?"

Su Qun was a little curious, smiled and said, "That's a coincidence, I happen to be in charge of that department, but I've been running around a lot recently, and this is the first time I've seen you."

"It's not long since I've been here, by the way, have you watched today's game?"

Su Qing asked excitedly.

"Of course I saw it, why? What do you think?"

"No, no, I heard that you met Gao Tian in the United States, so I want to ask you what kind of person Gao Tian is?"

Seeing the little girl's shy face, Su Qun couldn't help being a little amused, what is this all about!

Recalling the passionate conversation in the hotel that day, Su Qun said leisurely: "He is a very interesting person."
