Chapter 56: The urinary nature of an official

Zhang Kong has heard this familiar voice countless times in news reports. The hoarseness and honesty are the special charm of his voice. It sounds like Guo Jing among the Condor Heroes, giving people a kind and gentle feeling.

"Are you, Brother Yao?" Zhang Kong said suspiciously as he grabbed the phone with one hand.

"Ha, I guessed it for you, yes, it's me." The person on the other end of the phone directly admitted his identity and verified Zhang Kong's guess.

After guessing the result, Zhang Kong was a little hesitant because he probably knew what Yao Ming was going to tell him next. To be honest, Zhang Kong was not ready for this matter yet.

"Xiao Zhang, I'm a few years older than you, so I'll shout you Xiao Zhang. How about it? If you can't walk there, let's have a meal together. Of course, if you don't have time, you can stay until after the game." Yao Ming's words directly blocked Zhang Kong's retreat that he couldn't say, but he said it had no oppression. Instead, he was completely in a good manner for Zhang Kong.

"That's it..." Zhang Kong finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask for a leave of absence from the coach. Where can I find you?"

"Just get down directly, I'm at the door of your hotel." Obviously, Yao Ming didn't think Zhang Kong would refuse his invitation at all, but prepared early.

After saying hello to Mike Brown, Zhang Kong got the pass without any difficulties, and walked out of the hotel gate. Sure enough, he saw a huge big man standing by a car waiting for him. It was a blue BMW 754... It is said that this BMW 745 was tailor-made for Yao Ming by BMW company, and the customization cost was as high as 20,000 US dollars.

Zhang Kong doesn't envy Yao Ming's car. As his performance gets better and better, Ritchie Paul has received more and more cooperation intentions. Recently, he has reached a certain consensus with General Motors and is negotiating contracts for Zhang Kong's auto endorsement. As the leader of the American automobile industry, General Motors has not lived well over the years. The low-end market is being run by cheaper Japanese and Korean cars. There are also problems in the development of the mid-to-high-end market, and the sales volume of its brands is declining.

This situation made GM, the giant in the automotive industry, feel a crisis, and they urgently hope to reverse this situation. Considering that GM's image has gradually become a bit out of date, they hope to have a brand new spokesperson inject freshness into their brand.

Of course, I also noticed that Zhang Kong, the most popular one, is naturally considered to develop the Asian market.

Zhang Kong is not sure what kind of contract agreement will be reached, but according to Ritchie, General Motors has hired Zhang Kong as the image spokesperson for a certain brand under its jurisdiction. If the endorsement effect is good, it may even become the image spokesperson for the entire General Motors Group.

But no matter what you are talking about, a special customized version that is free of charge is absolutely indispensable.

"Brother Yao." Facing Yao Ming, Zhang Kong had a natural respect. The other party was the number one player in China in the NBA. This was not because of strength or status, it was purely respect. In addition, the other party was indeed much older than himself, so he didn't feel that he was at a loss when he called "Brother" Zhang Kong.

If you say this in a slight way, it will seem a bit pretentious.

"Xiao Zhang is here, get in the car quickly." Facing Zhang Kong, Yao was obviously very enthusiastic and pulled Zhang Kong into the car, and while driving, chatting with Zhang Kongtian and the north.

After asking about Zhang Kong's family, living in the United States, he talked about himself. Although Zhang Kong was a little dull and didn't talk much on weekdays, under the guidance of Yao Ming, the two of them had a rare situation. They drove all the way to the famous "Yao Restaurant" and stopped. Yao Ming took Zhang Kong into a private room directly.

There were already four people sitting in the private room.

"Come on, Xiao Zhang, let me introduce you to me. This is my parents."

"Hello uncle, hello aunt."

"Okay, Xiao Zhang, you and our family are both playing in the NBA and are about to take care of each other in the future. If you don't understand, just call our family and tell us..."

"Come on, Xiao Zhang, this is Director Li Changwu and Li of our Basketball Association, and this is Yunas, the head coach of our national team."

Zhang Kong had expected this situation when he received a call from Yao Ming. He was not a fool, so of course he would not think that the only purpose of Yao Ming's invitation was to have a meal together to contact us. After all, he was not close to Yao Ming, and before entering the NBA, Yao Ming definitely didn't even recognize him. The only reason he looked for him was to persuade him to join the national team.

Come with a mission.

Zhang Kong would not think that Yao Ming has a good character because of this, but because this is human nature. It is also because Zhang Kong knows a lot about domestic habits. The Basketball Association wants to contact him and will never bump into Cleveland head-on, but will pass through a bridge that both sides can accept.

Obviously, in their eyes, Yao Ming is the bridge. Of course, the most important person is Li Changwu. Yunas is purely here to make soy sauce. He also knows that he can't speak here. Although he has a lot to say to Zhang Kong, he can only hold it in.

After introducing each other, everyone sat down around a round table. At the beginning, everyone had a tacit understanding and did not talk about the serious matters, but Hu Tianhaidi talked about it. After a few glasses of wine, Yao Ming and Yao’s father and mother went to smooth things over, and the atmosphere quickly became warm.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying in China that "three glasses of wine are just friends if you don't have relatives." The wine table is at least the best way to quickly get closer to each other. Zhang Kong is a genuine Chinese, so he naturally also eats this.

"Xiao Zhang, these three major balls have always been our country's weaknesses. Over the years, I don't think there is any hope for football. But basketball, with you, Yaoyao, and Yi Jianlian who work hard in the NBA, can be said to be very hopeful. Next year is the Olympic Year. If we want to hold the Olympics at our home, we have to be beautiful. You think?" After everyone drank together, the topic naturally started. As they talked, Li Changwu seemed to talk about the topic of the Olympics casually: "We are still very different from the world's top level. But if we have the opportunity to gather top players like you, Yaoyao, and Yi Jianlian, our Olympics will still have a good chance."

At this time, Zhang Kong was still a little hesitant. From a psychological perspective, Zhang Kong did not resist serving the country at all. After all, this was a very glorious thing. Moreover, if you can't do something to keep your name in history, you would be too sorry for your luck. However, in this, Zhang Kong himself also had various concerns and contradictions.

Seeing Zhang Kong sitting there thinking, Li Changwu didn't urge him, just looked at Zhang Kong, waiting for Zhang Kong's answer.

After hesitating for a while, the idea of ​​playing for the country finally defeated the hesitation in my heart: "As far as I am willing to join the national team and play for the country."

As soon as Zhang Kong said this, Li Changwu's eyes lit up: "Oh Xiao Zhang, you are so wise. On behalf of the China Basketball Association, the China Blue Pipe Center, and the fans and friends across the country, I would like to thank China for its outstanding basketball player like Zhang Kong, and warmly welcome Zhang Kong to join the big family of Chinese basketball."

"But I heard." Zhang Kong said hesitantly: "I heard that there are many tricks here. In fact, I don't like being restricted. Moreover, I don't want to play Asian Championships and commercial competitions," he said.

"There is no problem at all." Li Changwu answered simply, making Zhang Kong wonder if he had heard it wrong.

Although Chinese people always doubt the IQ of officials, in fact, in addition to some special circumstances, those who can sit in such a position must have experienced countless dinner parties, drinks and intrigues, and can only sit steadily in their own position after taking sides and cheating their teammates.

Even if the IQ decreases after the seat is stable, it will not drop too much.

China has been an official-oriented society since ancient times. Although it has entered socialism so far, the change in social form has not completely changed ideology. Even now, it has already entered the era of democracy and the rule of law in name, but in fact China is still an "official-oriented" society.

Although officials, as the ruling class of society, that is, the real upper class and the ruling class, cannot cover all, most of them will not be fools. Even their IQ and EQ are outrageously high, they are definitely a small group of elites. It is unreliable to think that these people are all brainless.

In other words, these people are all human beings. They are not human beings, or they will be stripped of the official hat, put on a hat with a style problem, or even be sent to prison. What remains are naturally even more human beings among human beings. They may not be able to do things well if they really let them do things, but if they say they are intrigue and think about the best intentions and pretend to be stupid and see the main and secondary, they will not be worse than Liu Chan, the Anle Gong in history.

That’s right, some officials do often do some "stupid things", but if you don’t enter this circle, you will not be able to understand the truth about these "stupid things". Behind some stupid things are often hidden many exchanges of interests that you cannot see or touch, and compromise and concessions.

Many times the media plays a role in fueling the fire.

This has formed some special reports on "The people of the whole country welcome the rise in oil prices", "The people of the whole country welcome the rise in housing prices", "The people of the whole country welcome the rise in tolls", "The people of the whole country welcome the rise in pork prices", and "The people of the whole country welcome the rise in pork prices" that make people feel so tired that they can't help but take brain fragments...

And now, what is the biggest thing in China? The 2008 Beijing Olympics is the biggest thing. This is the country's face project. The Olympics held at its own gate is the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The 2008 Olympics is the main contradiction. No matter what other situations, everything must make way for the Olympics!

For Li Changwu, if Zhang Kong agrees to join the national team, then his big task will be completed. Yunas said that if Zhang Kong can be encouraged to participate and with the inside line composed of him and Yao Ming, he will have the confidence to lead the Chinese men's basketball team to the semi-finals of the Olympics.

The semi-finals!

What a great achievement this is.

Over the years, the men's basketball team has never reached the semi-finals, whether in the Olympics or the World Championships. Of course, one of the important reasons why the Basketball Association and Basketball Management Center made such a big compromise and concession this time is that Zhang Kong is not a registered athlete in the Basketball Management Center.

In other words, he is not under the control of the basketball center. This also makes the Basketball Association and the Basketball Center passive, because in this case, it means that they have no way to use coercive means to make Zhang Kong have to participate in the game, and everything can only be solved by deliberation.

As for other matters, neither side mentioned it, and reached a consensus on general intention, and the rest was discussion on personal treatment.

This meal was a joy for the guests and guests.

Yunas smiled very happily. He did not have Li Changwu's concerns in his heart, but being able to get Zhang Kong's joining would inevitably be a huge improvement in the Chinese national team. Think about it, Yao Ming, the center in the NBA now has the strongest rookie this year, and Zhang Kong, who averages nearly 20+20 per game!

The inside lineup formed in this way is definitely the world's top. Even if it is against Team USA, it will not be vain.
