Reborn in 96, I started by taking charge of the Dallas Mavericks.

June 1st is Children's Day.

Chen Fang, along with Shen Jieyi, Nelson, and the Mavericks' professional team—a total of ten people—arrived in China by plane.

That day, Chen Fang called old Nelson to his office and they talked for a long time.

He then sought advice from Nelson on his plans.

Old Nelson knew he couldn't stop Chen Fang, so he offered a lot of advice.

Chen Fang suddenly understood and immediately decided to go to China.

For his first stop, Chen Fang chose Guangdong Province.

Several players from the Chinese men's basketball team in 08 came from teams in Guangdong Province.

"Boss, this is the Guangdong Hongyuan Football Club you're looking for."

The group stood in front of a dilapidated basketball court, watching a group of teenagers training hard inside.

In the 90s, China was still underdeveloped, and compared to the United States, it was as dilapidated as a rural area.

"Let's go in and have a look."

After saying that, Chen Fang led the way towards the stadium.

……

"Hurry, hurry, run..."

"Faster, the movements are all correct."

"Excuse me, is Mr. Chen Lin here?"

"who are you?"

Seeing a large group of people suddenly walk into the stadium, including a large number of foreigners, training had to be temporarily suspended.

At this moment, a middle-aged man with glasses and a thin build came up to greet them.

"I am Chen Lin. May I ask who you are...?"

"Hello Mr. Chen, my name is Chen Fang, we're even from the same clan." Chen Fang joked, and continued, "I'm the owner of the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA, and I'm here to scout some promising young players."

At that time, the internet in China was not very developed, and the news that Chen Fang had become the boss of Xiaoniu had not yet spread throughout the country, so Chen Lin did not know Chen Fang at all.

Seeing Chen Lin's questioning look, Chen Fang gestured for Shen Jieyi to take out the documents that could prove her identity.

ten minutes later.

Inside a simple meeting room.

"Mr. Chen, I've come here today to select a few promising talents and help them develop their careers in the NBA."

Chen Fang simply explained his purpose.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin frowned slightly. "Mr. Chen, if I may be so bold, these children are the result of our club's careful nurturing. It's not appropriate for you to just take them away like this."

Chen Fang, of course, understood what Chen Lin meant. "Mr. Chen, we will proceed with the necessary procedures as normal, and we will also pay the penalty for breach of contract."

Before coming, Chen Fang specifically asked Shen Jieyi to investigate Chen Lin. Based on his understanding of Chen Lin from his previous life, he knew very well what kind of person Chen Lin was.

Chen Lin is indeed an entrepreneur, but he is also a pure basketball enthusiast.

Driven by his passion, he founded the Guangdong Southern Tigers club and poured all his energy into the team.

He treated these young athletes like his own children.

Besides frequently visiting the stadium to play ball with the children, he also brings them home for meals during holidays.

Therefore, Chen Fang was certain that for the sake of these children's future, Chen Lin would not hold them back like other clubs did.

"Mr. Chen, that's not what I meant." Seeing that Chen Fang had misunderstood, Chen Lin quickly explained, "These children are still young. If you just take them away like this, I won't be able to explain it to their parents."

“Mr. Chen, I understand, but it is precisely because they are young that I am even more determined to take them to the United States.”

Chen Fang paused, looked at Chen Lin sincerely, and continued, "Our great nation of China, with its more than one billion people, doesn't even have a single person who can play in the NBA."

"Are we Chinese really inferior to Black and White people?"

"I want to change this situation. I want to see Chinese people lift the NBA championship trophy. I want to see Chinese people stand on the Olympic stage and win gold medals."

"But as you know, the domestic system is completely incomparable to the level of the NBA."

Hearing Chen Fang's words, Chen Lin nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Chen Fang's assessment.

China's education system, its political system, and its leagues are all insurmountably different from those in the United States.

As a Chinese, Chen Lin shared the same dream as Chen Fang, and he understood Chen Fang.

"Mr. Chen, I understand you. I can promise you that I can let any child you choose go to the United States with you, but the premise is that you have to get the consent of the child's parents."

"Of course!"

Then, the group returned to the field to watch the players train.

While the players sweated profusely on the court, the Mavericks' professional team worked diligently off the court, recording the characteristics of each player.

After the regular training session ended, the Mavericks' professional team arranged for several promising young players to receive additional training.

Finally, several children with potential were selected.

When the list was presented to Chen Fang, he was immediately overjoyed.

There were only three people on the list, but they were exactly what Chen Fang wanted.

It was Zhu Ba, Wang Qi, and Du Feng.

"Mr. Chen, could you help me contact the families of these three children?" Chen Fang asked.

"No problem, I'll have someone contact the child's parents right away, but it will take them some time to get here."

Chen Lin did not refuse and readily agreed.

“It’s alright, we’ll stay in Guangdong for a few more days, and we’ll cover the parents’ travel expenses.”

"Jieyi, you're in charge of following up on this matter."

"Okay, boss."

After leaving the Guangdong Hongyuan Club, Chen Fang was in high spirits. He found that his luck had been exceptionally good since his rebirth.

This time was the same, and so was last time; the problem was solved without any effort.

Perhaps this is the incredible luck of being reborn.

"Boss, what do we do next?"

Shen Jieyi stood to the side and asked.

"Find me two people; these are their names."

Then, Chen Fang told Shen Jieyi the names of A-Lian and Andy Lau.

"Gone?"

"Ah."

"Boss, it's just a name, how am I supposed to find it? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

"That's your business."

After saying that, Chen Fang got into the car with a smile.

……

Three days later.

The parents of Zhu Ba, Wang Qi, and Du Feng, along with Chen Fang's team and the management of the Guangdong Hongyuan Club, gathered together to discuss the three's trip to the United States.

With Chen Lin's help, the parents of the three children quickly agreed to let their children go to the United States.

Chen Fang was very generous and immediately signed contracts with the three of them.

"Don't worry, everyone. Once we get back to the United States, we will arrange for the children to attend local schools."

"Mr. Chen, we are relieved to hear that."

After signing the contract, Chen Fang and the others left first.

"How's the search going with the person I asked you to find?" Chen Fang asked Shen Jieyi, who was standing beside him.

"Found it, here is the address."

"Well done! I'll give you a bonus when we get back."
