The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 535, I leave the burden to you.

At the end of the year, there will always be many kinds of wonderful awards.

Based on Lao Li's reputation, these will naturally come up.

Various awarding organizations at home and abroad will give Li Senlin an award, build up the popularity, and invite Li Senlin to accept the award.

For example, "National Spiritual Civilization Achievement Award".

"TOP1 Sexiest Man in Asia"

"Most Influential Person of the Year in China"

and many more.

……

Lao Li admits that he is the sexiest man.

But it's not necessary for him to accept the award.

And the National Spiritual Civilization Achievement Award?
Li Senlin didn't dare to take it.

……

On the night of New Year's Day.

Li Senlin visited Yao Ming's home and received warm hospitality from Yao Ming and Ye Li. Then Yao Ming's parents were also giants, and he ate with giants at this table. Li Senlin felt that he was really not tall.

Now that Li Senlin's reputation has surpassed Dayao and has become the new name card of Chinese basketball, almost all the pressure on Yao Ming has been transferred to Li Senlin.

So Ye Li took good care of Lao Li, and frequently provided Lao Li with food. Thanks to Lao Li's pressure from the country, Dayao didn't have to be so tired now.

Li Senlin looked at Yao Ming, who could barely stand, and was also very sad. His left ankle was fractured, a contingency fracture, and his own weight would hurt him.

And Li Senlin knew that after Yao Ming was injured this time.

He never stood back on the NBA court.

After the meal, just as Li Senlin sat down with Yao Ming to chat, he received a call from Kobe.

On the other end of the phone, Kobe said, "Hi, are you at Yao Ming's house? Haha, say hello to Yao for me! By the way, there is an urgent matter."

"Well, what do you mean? What's the hurry?"

Li Senlin gestured to Yao Ming, and Yao Ming told him to continue, leaving him alone.

"The plane we talked about last time, I found out that there is a Gulfstream G650! Dude, second-hand, 4800 million US dollars, sold by an American real estate company that is about to go bankrupt, and they have only used it for half a year. Do you want it?"

Kobe said to Li Senlin on the phone excitedly.

Gulfstream G650.

The Gulfstream family of aircraft is the fastest and most luxurious business jet in the world.

Due to its luxurious features, it has almost become synonymous with private jets. It has a range of more than 8000 miles and takes off from London at the highest speed. It can reach New York and Beijing. If Li Senlin owns it, it can fly directly from Los Angeles to Guangzhou or Seoul. , no transfer is required.

As the flagship model of the Gulfstream series, the Gulfstream G650 has an extremely luxurious interior design. The Argentine president's car is this kind of aircraft.

After the Christmas war, Li Senlin discussed buying an airplane with Kobe.

The two frantically studied the aircraft model.

In the end, the two decided on a few models.

The Gulfstream G650 is one of the priority models.

The pair also visited the plane during the holidays on the second day of Christmas.

Hearing the news, Li Senlin hesitated: "Second-hand? This..."

What Li Senlin wants most is a brand new model. The brand new model costs 5900 million US dollars. Although it is 1000 million US dollars more, he thinks it doesn't matter.

"Man, if you order a new one now, it will be available in 2014. I happened to have flown in that second-hand plane. It is very good, and it only costs 4800 million US dollars. How cool is it to earn 1100 million US dollars in half a year! If you are short of money, I can lend you some."

No matter how deep the car is, there is no feeling of chattering.

But for the plane, Naka is still very excited, he especially wants Lao Li to buy it, and he will often rub it in the future. .

Although the plane that I bought is a bit old, it can still be used. Vanessa disagrees with him buying a new one, and Kobe will not buy such an expensive one.

Li Senlin calmed down and his heart beat faster.

Because of Lao Li's ability to make money, Lin Xiaolu didn't ask him about his investment and spending outside.

Even if Li Senlin went to buy rockets and satellites, Lin Xiaolu would not stop him.

Li Senlin is in charge of the outside, and she is in charge of the inside.

Li Senlin knows more about money than she does.

Lao Li didn't have the trouble of being controlled by Vanessa.

But let Lao Li suddenly spend 4800 million U.S. dollars, a total of more than 3 million yuan, Li Senlin still feels a little bit pained.

The annual maintenance cost of this aircraft is 500 million U.S. dollars, and it will definitely not be able to make money by relying on managed operations, and it will lose 300 to [-] million U.S. dollars.

I lose so much every year.

You must know that Lao Li's salary is only about 1000 million US dollars.

But Mad!
After being reborn, Lao Li can still be frightened by money?

Li Senlin gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.

It's hot, proud, and bought it!

Li Senlin said bitterly: "OK!! Let's buy it when I go back to Los Angeles. You tell the seller that I want the plane."

"OK! Li, I like you more and more!" Kobe said in Chinese.

"Go away!" Li Senlin couldn't stand the childish chatter.

Li Senlin hung up the phone.

"Brother Yao, I'm sorry, Kobe called, he said hello to you, haha."

Big Yao laughed and said, "Haha, it's okay, after you buy the plane, please go and sit with Brother Yao."

Yao Ming is very sad.

$4800 million to buy an airplane...

Inhumane.

"That's definitely necessary." Li Senlin put down his phone and nodded.

The two chat.

Li Senlin chatted with Dayao about his injuries.

Soon.

The two talked about the national team.

"Lin, I want to hear your opinion on the national team."

"Brother Yao, I don't have any opinion, that's all."

Yao Ming heaved a sigh when he heard Li Senlin's answer, which was a bit evasive.

But Yao Ming quickly straightened his face, and said with some seriousness: "I know that Lin Lin may look down on those teammates of the national team or those who are officials, but I hope you really quickly enter the national team."

"Yes, it won't be too long." Li Senlin nodded.

"No matter how much we hate those systems and managers, we have to face the reality. Maybe they are not up to date, and our teammates are not good, but I think we all have an obligation to help it improve. Forest, I heard Ah Lian say, You just want to play in the Olympics, don't you?" Yao Ming asked, frowning.

"Well, playing at a lower level doesn't make sense to me."

Li Senlin nodded. He guessed what Yao Ming was going to say?

"The Olympics is the ultimate goal, but what about the process?" Yao Ming sighed, he was very clear about Li Senlin's concerns.

"Forest, Chinese basketball has lagged far behind the world. We must start from the process, and I will do my best whether I retire or not."

"I know that I'm afraid I won't have the chance to take them to the field in the future. Now, I hope you can take them, can you?"

Yao Ming looked at his leg covered with thick plaster, and said to Li Senlin in a heavy voice.

Hearing Yao Ming talk to him in such a tone, Li Senlin also felt very uncomfortable.

However, the reason why Yao Ming is respected by Li Senlin is not because he only recognized his skills, but also because of that responsibility!
Yao Ming is a person who really puts Chinese basketball on his shoulders, but he, Li Senlin, has not yet taken on that kind of responsibility.

The growth environment of the two is doomed, there is no absolute right or wrong.

Now Yao Ming hopes that Li Senlin will also take the responsibility. He fell down, and the national team can only rely on Li Senlin.

Thinking of the heavy responsibility, Li Senlin was silent, and he fell into thinking.

Obviously, Yao Ming hopes that Li Senlin will lead by example and grow up with the players of the national team.

But Li Senlin didn't have that awareness yet.

Li Senlin thought.

There was no Yao Ming in the previous life, China lost 6 games in a row in the London Olympics, 6 games in a row in Rio de Janeiro, and 12 games in a row.

Li Senlin's participation in the Olympic Games in this life may prevent these tragedies from happening.

But beyond that, he probably didn't do much else to help his country's basketball.

Li Senlin also felt that his previous thoughts might really be too petty.

"I will take part in the Asian Championships and bring them along. Try my best. How much I can change them depends on their own destiny."

Li Senlin finally decided that he had to do his best to help Chinese basketball, and let's start with the national team.

"Well, I believe they will all be up to date."

Yao Ming patted Li Senlin on the shoulder and smiled.

Li Senlin felt that Yao Ming's burden was much heavier than that of the Lakers.

"Brother Yao, when will you retire?"

"Haha, I still can't hide it from you. I plan to make an official announcement in July. I was tortured to death by this injury."

"Brother Yao, you will be a good chairman of the Basketball Association after you retire, haha!"

"You said that being the chairman of the Basketball Association is the chairman of the Basketball Association. How can it be so simple. The relationship inside is very complicated. I want to be as easy as you. There are so many ways to make money. I can't afford a $4800 million plane. .”

"Haha, I will support you too."

"It's not me, it's Chinese basketball."

Yao Ming is already preparing for retirement, but he has not realized that he will enter the officialdom.

Later, Yao Ming chatted with Li Senlin about investment.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Li Senlin came out of Yao Ming's house and went back to the hotel.

1 month 2 number.

The Lakers' away game against the Houston Rockets is a focus battle that Chinese fans are very concerned about.

Although Yao Ming is reimbursed for the season, the Rockets are the "home team" in the minds of many Chinese fans after all.

The Lakers led by Li Senlin are even more popular among domestic fan groups.

At the Toyota Center, many local Chinese fans in Houston came to the scene to cheer for Li Senlin.

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket.
