The invincible kryptonite of basketball

After talking on the phone with Fagan, Tang Tian was ready to go back to New Orleans.

Although there is still more than a month before the trip to China, he must make some preparations in advance.

And this time, he was going to take Olsen back with him.

Olson's Chinese is now quite good, and besides learning Chinese, she has also acquired another new skill, making Chinese knots.

"I'll take it to your parents."

These are the words of Olsen.

While Olsen is now preparing to film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, this trip to China is a chance to bring her home to meet her parents.

On the way back to New Orleans, Tang Tian also let Karl know about the recent situation of Lin Yi and Wang Quanze.

Wang Quanze has already gone to the United States and entered the California Meter Dei High School, which is the fifth-ranked high school in the United States.

His talent was the same as when Tang Tian met him, and he was top notch among the yellow race.

Lin Yi's road didn't seem to be so smooth. He was sponsored to the United States, and now he is in junior high school in a small town called Davis in North Carolina.

For him, if he wants to enter the professional basketball world, he needs to work harder, or more luck.

Back in New Orleans, Tang Tian and Olsen stayed together for a while, and by the way, talked about Nike's trip to China.

"awesome!"

Olsen was very excited when he heard it, and kissed Tang Tian fiercely.

It could be seen that she was looking forward to meeting Tang Tian's parents.

Tang Tian was also very happy when he saw this.

Although he came here through time travel, bringing his wife home is also considered a filial piety.

On his second day back in New Orleans, he resumed training.

Although he left the Brothers Training Camp ahead of time, he already had the training content, and Procopio also came back.

But on his first day of training, Demps called him.

This time it was not because of the team, but because the team owner Benson said he would take him to meet someone.

As for who it was, Dempsey didn't know.

This was so mysterious that Tang Tian couldn't help being curious.

After getting into Benson's car and chatting with him in the car, he didn't know who he was going to meet on this trip.

Jeff Hunter, the new mayor of New Orleans.

The thing to discuss in this business is the issue of Chinatown that Tang Tian had discussed with Benson before.

The former mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin, has just been sentenced to 10 years in prison for corruption, and the newly appointed Hunter wants to do something big to reshape the government's image.

Chinatown is a very good breakthrough.

This is different from the previous paper chat between Tang Tian and Benson, this time it is a real opportunity.

An hour later, Tang Tian and Benson met Hunter at the city building.

This is an official in his 40s, very young.

"The government will fully support you, from site selection to subsequent completion."

During the communication, Hunter gave Tang Tian and Benson a very positive signal.

Clearly, the young mayor wants to make a big difference.

The two sides hit it off immediately and directly entered into detailed discussions.

In addition to being the godfather of basketball in his previous life, Tang Tian was also the boss of a large company, so he definitely has a business vision.

He suggested that the site be located in the upper reaches of the Mississippi River.

Although the city's port is downstream, the traffic will be more convenient, but there are more hurricanes in New Orleans, so placing it upstream can reduce the losses caused by natural disasters.

And more importantly, the affluent districts of New Orleans are upstream. Putting them there, Chinatown can also function before the arrival of Chinese tourists.

Of course, there is another point that has something to do with him personally. Olsen likes to eat, so it would be very convenient to put Chinatown at the door of his house.

This is really, as long as you are good, I will buy you a street!

Hunter finally agreed. He knew very well that the key to the development of Chinatown lay in Tang Tian, ​​so Tang Tian didn't give reasons, and he would tend to agree.

The communication between the two parties was surprisingly fast and smooth. Basically, after one meeting, some follow-up procedures have been finalized.

Benson and the local consortium took the lead in investing. After the government funds were in place, they began to clean up the block, and then called for tenders based on the type of shops to build new landmark buildings.

This will involve many details, but the general idea and direction have been set.

After finishing the first communication, Tang Tian turned around and asked Karl to register a company called "Tang Tian Group" to prepare for the bidding.

The purpose of his establishment of this enterprise was not to make money. He had already made enough money in his previous life.

His purpose of doing this is to get enough shops, and then...to make food.

Olsen just likes to eat, and he satisfies her.

And he has thought about what to do.

New Orleans crayfish and New Orleans grilled wings.

Crayfish is very famous in New Orleans, and its popularity is no less than that in China, which can be felt from the statutory "six-hour vacation" here.

The so-called "six-hour vacation" is specially set up for eating crayfish and drinking beer.

However, the way of crayfish here is very different from that in China. In order to pursue the original taste of crayfish, people here use very light sauce, or basically no.

They just add fruits such as lemons and oranges, so that when they are eaten, they will have more umami flavor of fruits and vegetables.

In Tang Tian's understanding, this was completely blind.

What you eat when you eat crayfish is the sauce. What kind of crayfish to eat? The spicy crayfish already makes people drool!

And the other New Orleans grilled wings are even more fresh and refined.

New Orleans Grilled Wings is so named because it is a new way of cooking Orleans Wings.

But many people don't know!

After the new Chinatown is built, there will definitely be many domestic tourists coming here.

In the past, many people felt that there was no grilled wings in New Orleans after visiting, but this time, let you eat grilled wings seriously!

Tang Tian's popularity was overwhelming, and Benson and other local consortiums knew with their eyes closed that this was a great opportunity to make money, and the speed at which funds were in place was unparalleled.

Hunter is determined to make great achievements, and the speed of the government is also extremely fast.

Efficiency became the epitome of New Orleans' new Chinatown.

In only about a week, the government has completed the block clean-up and the bidding of shops, which is an unprecedented speed!

Tang Tian's group has also successfully won three shops. Apart from the previous crayfish and grilled wings, he still has plenty of other ideas.

Karl has been with Tang Tian for more than three years, and his business talent has been exchanged, so Tang Tian can rest assured to leave it to him.

Just when Chinatown appeared in New Orleans at an extraordinary speed, a piece of news suddenly came from the quiet free market.

The Cavaliers, made a deal as many expected.

They sent this year's No. 2013 pick Andrew Wiggins, 2015 No. [-] pick Anthony Bennett and the [-] first-round pick (from the Heat), and got Kevin Love from the Timberwolves!

Thanks to my wandering life, QQ user Ray Zhao for the reward.

Chapter 565 China Street (First Update!)

After this deal was concluded, the Cavaliers instantly formed the Big Three of Irving, Love and James through an offseason!

They also officially replaced the previous position of the Heat and became the most competitive team in the Eastern Conference.

“卧槽！欧文场均22+4+6，乐福场均26+12.5，这是三巨头2.0？！”

"LeBron is always the Big Three James!"

"This is really terrible. Although the combination of Love + Irving is not as good as the four-year Bosh + Wade, they are younger! They will rule the East for five or even ten years!"

"LeBron is really a nightmare for the Eastern Conference team. Originally, the Heat scattered them and they saw a little hope, but the Cavaliers immediately took shape and directly wiped out hope!"

"It's not just the East! I think the Cavaliers will become the championship team in two years at the earliest!"

"It doesn't take two years, this year is enough, don't forget that LeBron has already won the championship!"

……

This transaction made the originally quiet free market fall into madness again.

What should come is still coming.

This was the only thought that flashed through Tang Tian's mind when he saw the news.

As someone who has experienced it, he knows that the fans are blindly optimistic.

The strength of this Cavaliers team is actually not as good as the previous Heat.

But in a better place, Irving and Love are both young, and they have a certain growth potential.

This is another reason why James chose to return to the Cavaliers. If it is just basketball in his hometown, he will not be attracted.

It depends on how the Cavaliers management will operate in the next few years.

The butterfly effect he crossed has changed the pattern of the Western Conference. Although the Cavaliers have formed the Big Three just like in history, there are many unknowns in the future.

The Cavaliers' trade detonated social media, but it was just a small episode for Tang Tian.

In addition to training, his attention is on Chinatown.

The government has started to build new surface buildings, including the words "Chinatown" that Benson and Tang Tian mentioned before, and it will stand at the most eye-catching position of all entrances.

By the end of August, some landmark buildings including "Chinatown" have been newly built, and many shops that have won the bid have also moved in one after another.

Sugar figurines, shadow puppets, and many other things with Chinese elements began to appear in Chinatown.

Carl also makes both New Orleans crawfish and grilled wings.

Miraculously, within a month, the Chinatown in New Orleans has already looked like a seven-pointer, which is a miracle!

In a few days, Tang Tian was going to participate in the Nike China tour. Before leaving, he took Olsen to stroll around Chinatown.

The Chinatown in New Orleans is different from other places. It is not a single street, but a cross-shaped intersection.

The purpose of doing this is naturally to maximize business.

When Tang Tian and Olsen entered from the side entrance, they felt an indescribable intimacy when they saw the words Chinatown.

Tang Tian was also very emotional. Although he had earned enough money in his previous life, a Chinatown was born because of himself, which was impossible as a coach.

And that pride comes from within.

Entering Chinatown, seeing someone performing shadow puppetry, seeing someone blowing sugar figures, the feeling is even stronger.

Olsen couldn't help but ran over excitedly.

There are a lot of things to do and eat in Chinatown. For Olson, this place is simply a paradise!

In addition to eating and shopping with Tang Tian, ​​he was still observing some details of Chinatown.

The shops are basically only about halfway there, but there are already a lot of people inside, most of them are domestic tourists.

This is different from what he expected before. It seems that he still underestimated the enthusiasm of domestic fans.

It is foreseeable that when all the shops are settled, this place will become the most prosperous area in New Orleans.

After walking a little further, Tang Tian also saw a very kind thing.

His ultra-frame dunk KT board stands at the main entrance of the Nike store.

In the Nike store, three-point shooting, dunks, blocks... His image can be seen everywhere.

Nike can become the No. [-] brand in the United States, and its business vision and response speed are really fast.

There are many customers inside, which also represents Tang Tian's popularity in New Orleans.
