Chapter 443: Transformation

Forbes Rich List is released.

Fang Zhuo also finished his work in the United States and prepared to return home to meet the elders and folks in various hometowns.

On January 25, one week before the Lunar New Year, he, Yu Hong and the employees who took leave took a flight to Shanghai International Airport.

Because they had talked too much about work, Fang Zhuo tried to pick some light topics along the way.

As a small gift that Xiao Yu wanted recently, plus Xiao Yu occasionally went to see Yao Ming play, the plan to buy a team was worth talking about.

"450 million US dollars? It's too damn expensive!"

Yu Hong couldn't help but swear when she heard the offer from the Rockets from her boss.

"It's a bit expensive, but if you can offer a price, you can bargain. I'm afraid Alexander won't offer it. Since he gave the price, he is willing to sell the team that he bought for 85 million at the beginning." Fang Zhuo smiled, "10 years, 5 times the price, it's pretty good."

"What about the other teams you mentioned last time? Don't consider the cheap ones?" Yu Hong asked again.

"It's mainly because the city is suitable. If I can buy him before the transfer period after the end of this season, I will pair Yao Ming with a guard who can pass the ball, pack Francis with a few substitutes and then exchange him for an All-Star player." Fang Zhuo talked about the rough plan with great interest.

Yu Hong frowned: "Francis is very good to Yao Ming. He is the starting point guard of the Western Conference All-Stars. You want to trade him? Hey, don't mess around. Where can I find the guard you mentioned who can pass the ball?"

Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "What about Nash and Kidd? It seems that Nash's contract with the Mavericks will expire this year."

Yu Hong frowned and thought.

Fang Zhuo flipped through the newspaper casually. He really had a plan to transform the current Rockets lineup in his mind. Nash had to switch to the Suns because he was not valued by the Mavericks. He was the double MVP later and had a top passing level.

McGrady is still in the Magic now. If I remember correctly, he will be traded next season, but his cousin Carter can also be considered. His body is more durable.

Nash + Carter + Yao Ming, plus a forward who can defend, this lineup will always be able to hit the championship.

"Oh, yes, I don't like the current Rockets coach Van Gundy, he's too old-fashioned. If there is a suitable candidate, he will be replaced." Fang Zhuo remembered something again.

Yu Hong laughed: "Okay, okay, Mr. Fang, this is really the tone of the team owner. He hasn't bought the team yet and he's changing the team's star player and coach."

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly: "Yao Ming said I understand basketball, don't you agree? If you don't understand, just watch carefully."

"I think Yao Ming may regret saying this to you in a few months." Yu Hong said half-jokingly.

"It will be too late by then. Besides, he is just a player. Can he still control the boss's business?" Fang Zhuo said.

"What if Yao Ming asks you to keep Francis?" Yu Hong asked.

Fang Zhuo shrugged: "Business is business."

The mantra of the Basketball Business Alliance is business is business.

Yu Hong was indignant: "Bah, capitalists!"

Fang Zhuo smiled: "He is also a good capitalist who can help the little giant realize his dream of becoming a champion."

"Wait until you realize it." Yu Hong also opened the newspaper, "You should rest more and wait to go back to accept interviews from major media."

Fang Zhuo thought for a while and said: "I was thinking about it last night, but there is actually nothing to say. I can't say that the institution is standing on the platform, and it is not easy to explain the market value fluctuations. If I want to talk, I can only talk about Yike's products and layout, but this is what I have repeatedly told the media."

Yu Hong commented: "Capitalists' troubles, then don't accept interviews, it's better to keep a low profile."

"No, no, no, everything must be in moderation, so that it will be convenient for the company to do things." Fang Zhuo thought for a moment, "I can't do it according to my personal preferences."

Yu Hong said with understanding: "Then be more dignified in the interview, and be more low-key in daily life. Anyway, you are good at this."

Fang Zhuo nodded deeply and accepted the praise in full.

It was already the afternoon of the next day when the passenger plane landed at Shencheng International Airport.

In the parking lot, a red Ferrari Enzo was parked quietly, next to which were two business cars that Yi Ke brought to pick up the plane.

"Mr. Fang, you are so low-key." Yu Hong looked at the only Enzo in the whole city of Shanghai in amazement.

"This is a decision before boarding the plane." Fang Zhuo shrugged, "Let's go, I'll take you back and take a ride."

Yu Hong pinched the handle of the suitcase and asked expressionlessly: "Excuse me, President Fang, where should I put my suitcase?"

"Well, we can throw your suitcase on the business car and have someone deliver it to your home." Fang Zhuo proposed a solution.

Yu Hong agreed, but also made a kind suggestion: "Mr. Fang, I hope Yi Ke will not become as inefficient as you are today in handling things one day, otherwise I will definitely go crazy."

The company's organizational structure is indeed a topic worth discussing.

Fang Zhuo doesn't mind driving a sports car to talk about this with his own marketing director.

The two said goodbye to the employees who were returning home with them. When the business car drove out of the parking lot, they also got into the Enzo and set off on the road home in the chilly wind at the end of January.

…

——"Fang Zhuo, the president of Yike, which successfully listed on the Nasdaq earlier this month, returned to China yesterday and declined media interviews."

——"It is reported that Fang Zhuo successfully topped the list of mainland rich people through Yike. Yesterday, he drove a Ferrari back home in a very high-profile manner, and it is suspected that his girlfriend was with him."

——"Sina exclusive news, Sina Chairman Mr. Fang Zhuo will be a guest on Sina Sports' talk show today. Netizens are welcome to watch it on time at 8 o'clock in the evening."

Sichuan Province, Chengdu.

Changhong's head Ni Runfeng, who has been attending high-pressure meetings for two consecutive days, rubbed his temples and looked through the wireless newspaper information received on his mobile phone.

Oh, Mr. Fang has returned to China.

Mr. Fang has become the richest man in the country.

Mr. Fang drives a Ferrari with a female companion.

I'm really envious - I envy the richest man.

Ni Runfeng envied this kind of wealth achievement achieved by relying on the enterprise from the bottom of his heart.

In today's national economic development, what is wealth?

It is a manifestation of ability, and those who can make money are heroes.

Ni Runfeng sighed, and all the problems of Changhong now can be attributed to only one thing: the enterprise is not making money.

Before he put down his mobile phone, Fang Aman suddenly called in.

"Old Ni, I'm back to China." Fang Zhuo's clear voice sounded in the receiver.

"Mr. Fang, congratulations, congratulations. Although I knew you were going to become the richest man this time when I was in New York, I still wanted to congratulate you after reading the newspaper." Ni Runfeng felt very respected. He just returned to China yesterday and contacted him today.

"Mr. Ni, stop being polite and get down to business. My company seems to have found Mr. Ji in New York. I will tell you as soon as there is any progress." Fang Zhuo went straight to the point, "Tell me if you encounter any trouble here, OK?"

Ni Runfeng was excited: "Is there any news about Mr. Ji?"

"Yes, but it's not certain yet. It will take a while." Fang Zhuo replied.

Ni Runfeng thought about this news in his heart, and suddenly felt that from the situation after two days of meetings, even if there was a trace of Mr. Ji, it would be difficult to respond to the accusations from all parties. Even if APEX was willing to solve the problem, it would not be immediately useful.

But he still thanked him: "Okay, thank you Mr. Fang, I won't say anything else. Mr. Fang doesn't mind, we are friends."

"Well, that's it, don't forget it." Fang Zhuo paused, "Happy New Year, Old Ni."

Ni Runfeng said sincerely: "Mr. Fang, happy New Year."

Two people who returned from New York at the same time connected, one stretched out his claws, and the other felt that there was still a straw to grasp.

I got home late, and I will update another chapter tomorrow at noon.
