Chapter 532 Unemployed youth + one

Chapter 532 Unemployed youth+1

Zhao Liang doesn't know much about the NBA, but from the words All-Star Game, he can guess that participating in this game are all star players in the NBA.

However, the name Kobe Bryant surprised Zhao Liang even more.

Zhao Liang had personally asked his senior brother in the United States before, and learned that this player named Kobe was a young man who could only be a substitute in the team and could not even make it into the starting lineup.

But Mr. Su, the commentator on the scene in the United States, said this name, and it was the starter of the All-Star Game!

A player who can't even start in his own team, why should he start in a group of stars?

It must have been renamed!

The names of Americans are just those that come and go. Tom, George, and James have the same names. It's normal! Maybe there are many people in the United States called Kobe. Zhao Liang reassured me.

After 2020, there are indeed many people who will name their children Kobe in honor of Kobe, but even so, the name Kobe is only ranked out of 200 among the names of newborns in the United States.

Americans like names like James or Mary.

As for the surname Bryant, it's not a rare surname in the United States, but it's not a common surname in the United States.

Kobe and Bryant are not likely to have the same name.

What's more, it's the NBA, and not all cats and dogs can get in, so how can it be the same name casually.

Although there have been more than 70 Williams in the NBA, more than 60 Johnson, more than 50 Smith and Jones, and several James, Wallace and Howard.

But there are really no father-son parties with the same name and surname, except for father and son parties like Hardaway and Nance.

As for the pair of Isaiah-Thomas, the smiling assassin and the strongest 175 on the surface, the pronunciation is the same, but the letters are spelled differently. The smiling assassin's Isaiah is lsianh, while the strongest 175 on the surface Isaiah is lsaiah .

...

Zhao Liang is constantly comforting himself, but the teacher Su Qun on the TV,

But immediately broke Zhao Liang's fantasy.

What we want to highlight is that Kobe Braant from the Los Angeles Lakers, who is only 19 years old this year, is the first All-Star selected, and he is also the youngest player in NBA history to be selected as an All-Star, and to enter the All-Star team. Players in the star starting lineup!

Kobe Bryant was named Michael Jordan's successor, and in the next game, Kobe Bryant will also face Michael Jordan, which is one of the focuses of today's All-Star Game!

Jordan's successor? Zhao Liang was dumbfounded when he heard this comment!

Didn't American newspapers say that high school players simply can't adapt to the NBA? Didn't senior brother Liu Jing say that he is a substitute rookie? How did he become Jordan's heir?

It's an All-Star starter, and Jordan's heir. Behind this is a burst of commercial value!

Zhao Liang stared blankly at the TV until the start of the All-Star Game.

The broadcast screen always gave special attention to the pairing of Jordan and Kobe. Even if the two were not holding the ball, they would be included in the camera as much as possible.

And whenever Kobe held the ball, the deafening cheers at the scene were no less than Jordan's, as if telling Zhao Liang how popular Kobe, a young man, was in the United States.

Every time the cheers were like a punch, it hit Zhao Liang's heart ruthlessly. Kobe's wonderful goal is more like a death knell for Zhao Liang.

In the end, the Eastern All-Star team defeated the Western All-Star team, and Jordan was successfully crowned the All-Star MVP. However, Kobe, who was opposite Jordan, also scored 18 points and 6 rebounds. He is the highest scoring player in the Western All-Star team. , fully worthy of the title of Jordan's successor.

Seeing Kobe's popularity and performance, Zhao Liang couldn't help but think three words: It's over!

...

At the dinner table, the thorns were staggered, and Director Hu, who was in charge of the advertising business of a sports newspaper, was toasting Zhong Yemao with a smile on his face.

Mr. Zhong, I'll give you a toast and thank you Puppy Group for advertising in our newspaper. Director Hu said and raised his glass.

It's easy to say, easy to say. Zhong Yemao smiled slightly, and then said: This advertisement is nothing to our puppy group, it only accounts for a drop of the amount of our annual advertising!

That's right, the Puppy Group has a big business, and a little advertising fee flowing out of the nails is enough to support our newspaper. Director Hu said quickly.

Zhong Yemao continued: We have not put advertisements in sports newspapers before, and this time we will test the waters to see how effective they are. If the publicity effect is good, we will continue to put advertisements in the future.

Our newspaper is very much looking forward to establishing a long-term cooperative relationship with the Puppy Group. Director Hu said quickly.

Zhong Yemao continued; Director Hu, having said that, I also have one thing, and I want to ask Director Hu for your help.

To say you help is to look down on my old Hu! If there is anything, Mr. Zhong can do whatever he wants. As long as my old Hu can do it, there is no excuse! Director Hu immediately patted his chest.

That's right, our boss has made an investment overseas before, but some people in China have misunderstood this investment, so they want to receive your newspaper and write a few articles to help explain it. Zhong Yemaowan said slowly.

Well... Director Hu hesitated for a moment, then said: Mr. Zhong, we are a sports media, and we are good at reporting sports content.

However, reporting on overseas investment matters is not within our scope of business, nor is it in line with our purpose of running a newspaper! This may be difficult to do.

Director Hu, sports brand-related news, right? Zhong Yemao asked with a smile.

Director Hu nodded inexplicably: As long as it has something to do with sports, it should count.

That's no problem! Zhong Yemao said, raising his glass.

...

The next day, one of the top sports newspapers in China published such a piece of news with the headline With the help of Jordan's successor, the domestic sports brand rises in the United States.

In the just-concluded NBA All-Star Game, Kobe Bryant, a young player known as Jordan's successor, performed well, scoring 18 points, second only to Michael Jordan.

During the game, the basketball shoes Kobe Bryant was wearing were exactly our Chinese sports brand Feiyue, a time-honored national brand with a history of 60 years, which appeared on the highest level of sports in the United States!

Looking at this beginning, Zhao Liang's heart stabbed for a while.

Zhao Liang, as a media person, can guess the following content without looking at it. He must have boasted about a wave of Feiyue shoes, and then praised Feiyue as the pride of a national brand.

For Chinese brands at that time, being able to enter the American market could indeed be regarded as the pride of a national brand.

What worries Zhao Liang the most is the $10 million endorsement fee.

An article published by Zhao Liang earlier regarded the $10 million endorsement fee as a loss of foreign exchange, and it also attracted a lot of attention.

But now things have turned around. The ten million dollar endorsement fee, the signing of a Jordan spokesperson, and the successful entry of the national brand into the American market, this deal is worth it no matter how you look at it.

Ten million dollars, in exchange for the pride of a national brand, the common people will certainly not say NO.

Moreover, this kind of thing can improve the popularity of national brands and boost national self-confidence, which will definitely be vigorously promoted in China.

At that time, Zhao Liang's report on the loss of tens of millions of dollars in foreign exchange became fake news again!

At this moment, a very gossip colleague walked into the office and whispered, Everyone has made up their minds. After a while, the director will hide for a while, don't make trouble!

What happened? someone asked immediately.

I just delivered the materials, and I passed by the president newspaper company, and saw that the president was criticizing our director, and his tone was very bad! The director was criticized by the leader, and he must not vent it on us when he turned back? So let's take it easy, we can hide Just hide, don't touch the director's bad head. The man said.

Why did the old leader criticize our director? Someone asked.

I don't know the exact reason, but when I was passing by, I heard the leader say something about fake news. It is estimated that there was a problem with one of our previous reports! The man replied.

Hearing this, Zhao Liang was suddenly startled, and a sense of unease came to his heart.

At this time, Zhao Liang had already realized that the fake news that the leader said was probably referring to himself.

After a while, the director returned to the office with a gloomy face.

Everyone immediately lowered their heads, pretending to be busy with the work at hand, so as not to touch the director's bad luck.

I saw the director walked directly in front of Zhao Liang, glared at Zhao Liang angrily, and said coldly, Come in with me.

Zhao Liang followed the director and walked into the office. The director directly smashed the sports newspaper on Zhao Liang's face.

What the hell is going on? Didn't you say that the 10 million US dollars was a loss of foreign exchange? How did it become the pride of a national brand? the director said angrily.

Zhao Liang hurriedly defended: Director, you have seen those foreign newspapers at the time, and they all said that the player named Kobe is difficult to be a great player, and signing him for 10 million US dollars is a waste of water!

Moreover, my seniors in the United States have also inquired. This Kobe Bryant is a substitute. In the NBA, he can't even make the starting lineup. He must have no strength. You also agreed at the time.

I listened to your rumors! The director pointed at the newspaper angrily, and then said, I asked you to report news based on facts, why didn't you listen?

The face of the newspaper has been humiliated by you! Do you know what our peers are saying about us now? They said that our newspaper office fabricated fake news to win the attention of readers, and that we were unscrupulous media! The word-of-mouth accumulated by the newspaper over the years has been destroyed!

This is not fake news, I wrote reports based on facts. Zhao Liang continued to defend.

Bullshit fact! It's time, you still admit it! Could it be that Kobe was a fake when he was selected as the NBA All-Star starter? The games in the United States are over, and they are still broadcast live around the world! You can fool me, and you can fool me. The eyes of billions of people around the world?

The director was really anxious, he pointed to the door, and then said: Zhao Liang, you are completely helpless, pack up immediately, get out of here, don't stay in the editorial department!

Zhao Liang had already expected this outcome, and he didn't resist, but said stubbornly; Okay, I'll go back to the data room now, so I won't cause you any trouble, Director.

Do you still want to go back to the reference room? The director snorted coldly and continued: Let you go back to the reference room, continue to rummage through foreign newspapers from a few years ago, and then get me some fake news? There's no door! Am I hurting enough?

Then where do I go? Zhao Liang asked.

The security department lacks a security officer, you can report there! the director said.

Security Section? You want me to see the gate? I graduated from a prestigious university, how could you do that! Zhao Liang said angrily.

It's already good to let you go to the gate. I'll give you a bite to eat! If it weren't for the fact that you were a college student and opened up to you, I would have fired you directly! The director's face was angry. Intention is better.

The college students of that era were all the favored sons of heaven, and Zhao Liang, who graduated from a famous university, was among the best in the world. How could he stand the insult of watching the door.

Zhao Liang was completely angry, he slammed the table and said, You don't need to fire me, I won't serve you anymore, what a bullshit newspaper office, I'll quit!

...

Li Weidong didn't know that Zhao Liang, the enemy far away in the south, had become an unemployed youth.

At this time, Li Weidong was attending a family meeting of the He family in a nursing home in the suburbs of Beijing.

In the second generation of the He family, the eldest He Rong, also known as He An'an's uncle, took the official career. The second child, He Yu, Li Weidong's father-in-law, works in a company.

Therefore, the success of He Rong's career is directly related to the future development of the He family.

Now, He Rong's work is about to change.

He Rong is a mechanical major. He has spent most of his life in the machinery department, and previously worked in the machinery industry department.

In the reform of state institutions in 1998, this department, which has existed since the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China and has made great contributions to the development of China's machinery industry, is about to end its mission.

He Rong is not yet old enough to retire, so he will naturally be assigned to other positions. He Rong has also revealed before that he should be airborne to work locally.

Now, the leaders have talked to He Rong, and the organizational appointment is about to be issued.

In the study, He Rong said, This time, the organization arranged for me to work in the western provinces.

Is it the southwest or the northwest? Dad He asked immediately.

Northwest. He Rong continued; The westernmost autonomous region in the northwest.

The He family frowned. If it was a southwestern province like Sichuan and Chongqing, the conditions would be better, but in the northwestern autonomous region, the conditions would be much worse.

How do you go so far! Father He said subconsciously.

On the contrary, Mr. He said: The country needs it, no matter how far it is!

Dad, I didn't mean that to you. Dad He continued: I mean the conditions there are tough, but it's going to be hard on my eldest brother!

The old man stared at him: What? Don't go under difficult conditions? Your brother is a cadre trained by the state, so he should be at the forefront. Wherever it is difficult, go where it is!

He Rong hurriedly gave his brother a look, telling him to stop talking, and then continued: Actually, this time, I took the initiative to ask the organization to work in the Western Autonomous Region.

I also know that the conditions in the west are not good, but I think that the worse the conditions, the greater the potential for future development, and we need to build it! I really want to go to the West and do some results.

Li Weidong couldn't help but look at He Rong, this uncle is more conscious than his father-in-law, no wonder the He family let him go on the career path.

Then Li Weidong said: I agree with Uncle's choice. Although the western region is very backward, it has huge development potential. The western region is rich in natural resources and its strategic location is extremely important.

I believe that in the future, the country will also invest more resources in the west and vigorously build and develop the west. If the uncle goes to work in the west, he may have more opportunities than in the east.

Seeing Li Weidong supporting him, Uncle He looked at Li Weidong with a smile and said, I said, Weidong, you can't just support him verbally, you have to come up with something practical. You are the only rich family in the family. Man, let me beat the autumn wind!
