Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 103 Win! Win! Win!
1:30 a.m., Xishan District, Emtinini Craft Beer.

Xiao Ma opened a bottle of Berlin sour wheat and played "NBA Live 2005" on the NDSi that Lin Xingzhuo had given him.

Lin Xingzhuo had just sat down at the bar and ordered a bottle of Czech Pilsner when Xiao Ma finished his game and ordered a serving of squid strips and fish slices.

The two drank beer and talked about Qi Wei...

Xiao Ma asked, puzzled, "Brother Zhuo, why are you helping her?"

"Her actions have offended the coal bosses of the Ouyue Group quite a bit!"

"That agent is definitely going to be sent to the mines in Jinyang Province!"

Lin Xingzhu poured Czech Pilsner into a glass of beer, creating a cloud-like effect on the surface, and said softly, "Qi Wei is willing to ransom him..."

Xiao Ma pinched a piece of squid and stuffed it into his mouth, asking in confusion, "Redemption?"

Lin Xingzhuo took out his Nokia 5230 phone, opened the photo album, and showed him the photos Qi Wei had sent him.

The photo shows a red jersey with white trim and details, featuring the number 1. It has a walnut wood frame and is mounted on a UV-resistant acrylic panel. The frame also includes numerous certificates.

Little Ma chewed on some squid strips and said, "This is... a Rockets jersey?"

Lin Xingzhuo said, "This is the number 1 jersey! It's Tracy McGrady's jersey from the Rockets!"

"Look at the league certificate above. It's officially certified by the NBA and shows the specific game date of this jersey..."

"On the left is a team certificate issued by the Rockets' equipment department, indicating that it is personally worn!"

"Below the border, there is also the MGG certificate, as well as the Fanatics certificate, which is a collaboration with McGrady."

Xiao Ma took a sip of Berlin sour wheat and said, "In NBA Live 2005, McGrady's stats were indeed very high. However, Qi Wei only gave away a jersey, and he still..."

Lin Xingzhu interrupted, saying, "Look at the information above. On December 10, 2004, the Rockets hosted the defending champion Spurs at the Toyota Center..."

Xiao Ma was stunned. The name sounded familiar, but he couldn't quite place it at first: "What do you mean?"

Lin Xingzhuo drank most of a glass of Czech Piersson and said, "Little Ma, you don't even know this? It's McGrady's jersey from the game where he scored 13 points in 35 seconds!"

Xiao Ma immediately got excited: "Holy crap! Qi Wei has a lot of capable people on her side! She managed to get this?!"

Lin Xingzhuo put down his wine glass and said, "Now international brands are all doing rainbow campaigns."

"During Qi Wei's endorsement of Louis Vuitton, she had a good relationship with the head of their international public relations department, which is how she got this jersey."

Xiao Ma immediately advised, "Brother Zhuo! I feel that although Qi Wei has offended the Ouyue faction, she is still a young girl who doesn't know her place. We can't just kill her off!"

…………

So, Lin Xingzhuo and Xiao Ma connected with Ding Ye.

Ding Ye was probably out socializing with his comrades, and the background music was "Night at the Military Port"...

Xiao Ma said, "Brother Ye, do you know the jerseys from the game on December 10, 2004, when the Rockets hosted the defending champion Spurs at the Toyota Center?"

Ding Ye, clearly having drunk quite a bit, asked, "What the hell is this?"

Lin Xingzhuo interjected, "You don't even know this? It's the one McGrady wore when he scored 13 points in 35 seconds!"

…………

East Ireland, West Carolina, South Mackay, North Carolina!

35 seconds, 13 points—the McGrady moment, nothing short of a miracle!!

Watching CCTV5 back then was truly amazing!
A white horse and a silver spear, flowing like poetry; invincible in youth, genius truly can do whatever they want!

The value of this jersey is evident.

Last year, in particular, the Yao-McGrady duo of the Rockets soared to new heights, achieving a franchise-best 22-game winning streak, unstoppable! Looking up, they broke through the clouds!
This has caused the collectible value of this jersey to skyrocket!

Years later, Hupu still has popular memes about him. Tracy McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 points earned him everyone's respect, while my 35 years and 13 seconds became everyone's laughing stock.

…………

In 2009, the diversity movement in the United States was in full swing.

The NBA commissioner, accompanied by more than a dozen league executives, paraded through the stadium wearing rainbow logo T-shirts to promote the NBA's philosophy of diversity.

The alliance continues to promote inclusive politics through official statements, event sponsorships, and legal pressure.

The owner of the Houston Rockets, Leslie Alexander, has also joined a non-profit organization that provides career development advice to rainbow athletes.

…………

Qi Wei leveraged her marketing strategy within the lesbian community to become the first female celebrity to break into this market in the new millennium, establishing herself as "Brother Qi" and successfully becoming Louis Vuitton's Asian Spring/Summer ambassador!
This led to a good relationship between Qi Wei and the Louis Vuitton international public relations manager, a 150-kilogram transgender vegan bisexual Black man.

This Louis Vuitton international public relations manager, through resource exchange, acquired McGrady's jersey from the game where he scored 13 points in 35 seconds at a special price, and then resold it to Qi Wei at a 50% markup.

Of course, Qi Wei may have mortgaged her property, borrowed money from friends, crowdfunded through the lesbian community, or used a combination of methods.

Lin Xingzhuo's fate remains unknown...

…………

Of course, Lin Xingzhuo wouldn't let the company waste resources to settle this deal for nothing...

According to information revealed by former squad leader Ding Ye, there is still a time lag before the policy is implemented.

Currently, it is widely believed that the coal mine reform in Jinyang has come to an end, and the price of second-hand equipment has reached its lowest point, with no one buying it.

The Ouyue coal mines were completely wiped out, and the Jinyang Ouyue Chamber of Commerce has accumulated a large number of coal mining equipment that are now stuck in their hands.

Huang Xuanrong, the owner of Tianming Jiaye Culture, is also a director of the Jinyang Ouyue Chamber of Commerce.

If Jinyuan Huwei Coal Industry can help the Jinyang Ouyue Chamber of Commerce absorb these pieces of equipment that are rotting in the hands of the Ouyue coal bosses, then the matter of Qi Wei will be resolved.

It was just a small perk given away during the negotiations...

…………

This transaction.

Jinyuan Huwei successfully acquired equipment at rock-bottom prices, giving it a significant advantage in the next round of reforms!
Lin Xingzhuo scored 13 points in 35 seconds, wearing the jersey from the McGrady moment!
Qi Wei and her agent have averted a painful and dark moment!
That's winning! Winning! Winning!

........................

Two days later, Xiao Ma bought a plane ticket and returned to Jinyang to participate in equipment procurement negotiations between Jinyuan Huwei Coal Industry Company and Jinyang Ouyue Chamber of Commerce.

A woman wearing a light pink wool suit with a white lace-collar shirt underneath, and a daisy brooch pinned to the lapel of her suit, arrived at the film set carrying a beige handbag.

The first thing this fresh-faced sweetheart did upon arriving on set was to stick close to Lin Xingzhuo and take over various tasks.

…………

Mao Xiaotong, who plays Li Miaoren and is Lin Xingzhuo's sidekick, visibly became nervous.

"Brother Zhuo, who is this?"

Lin Xingzhuo said, "Zhang Youqian is the temporary assistant that Zhu Yilong and I share. The filming of 'Reign of Assassins' has wrapped up, and Xiao Ma had to go back to Jinyang for some business, so she rushed over!"

Mao Xiaotong looked at Zhang Youqian, who was negotiating with the production manager, and said, "It's very good!"

Lin Xingzhuo said, "My company is a coal capital firm, so that's the style."

Mao Xiaotong: "Hmm..."

Seeing Mao Xiaotong's hesitant expression, Lin Xingzhuo asked, "What's wrong?"
