I'm king in the basket

Chapter 577

Chapter 577

"Is there something strange about this?"

As soon as he returned to Toronto, Li Xing came directly to Rang Nuo.

"Strange? No."

Jean Nuo said: "Your general manager is not a particularly cautious person."

Li Xing knew what he meant, he was just used to being tricked by people, and he always had a mentality of "there are always people who want to harm me".

This time it was really Colangelo who killed himself, no wonder others.

"What do you want to do next?" Jean Nuo asked proactively.

Li Xing said: "Let the team find another puppet."

"puppet?"

If Li Xing was content with the status quo, he would say "find another general manager", but this time, he directly and unabashedly said that the new general manager is a puppet.

It's hard for Jean Nuo to say what he wants to do, but it's very obvious what the general manager is to him.

"and then?"

"Then I will do what I want to do." Li Xing said, "I don't want problems in the rear when I am doing other things."

Jean Nuo was really curious, what exactly did Li Xing want to do?

If Li Xing didn't say anything, he would have no way of knowing.

"When are you leaving?" Li Xing asked.

Jean Nuo said, "The day after tomorrow."

"Okay, I will finish the matter today, and I will treat everyone to dinner tomorrow." Li Xing said.

"Don't make it a farewell party, I don't need it," Jeanaud said.

Li Xing knew what he meant: "You don't like this, but I will do it. We have been working together for three years, and everyone wants to say goodbye to you."

"Do you always like to waste time on these unnecessary things?"

"It's not trivial."

"As you please."

After talking with Rang Nuo, Li Xing left his room and went downstairs to the main room.

At this time, there were not many residents in the main building of Lincoln Apartments.

Most of the witches are absent.

Pantoliano, Ingrid, Isidore, and Theron on vacation, a total of four people.

Megan has been getting more and more busy recently, and Li Xing rarely sees her.

Seeing Li Xing, Pantoliano flew over like a bee: "Have you read the news?"

"Of course, that incident ended my vacation in Charlotte early." Li Xing seemed very unhappy about this incident.

Ingrid scolded directly in the room.

She doesn't look like Ontario's No. [-] beauty now, but rather Ontario's No. [-] troll.

There is an interesting sense of rhythm in so many words that need to be silenced by sound mosaics coming out of her mouth.

Isidor sat quietly and listened.

Theron was the sane one: "You need to make a statement."

"I will." Li Xing said.

Li Xing knew what to do, and the team behind him was not vegetarian.

Theron was just a reminder, seeing that Li Xing understood the next steps, she stopped talking too much.

"What's for dinner tonight?"

Theron asked.

at night?

Li Xing shook his head and said, "No, I have an appointment tonight."

"But it's not going to be a good meal."

Li Xing added this sentence before they showed disappointment: "So you can eat a little first, and we will eat together when I come back."

"Very well, let's do it!" said Ingrid.

Li Xing remembered the meeting tonight, got up and walked into the room, and took out his manuscript.

It's not like a speech where he just reads from a script.

Like the outline of a novel, he has to convince Levik in several ways.

Even a hands-off shopkeeper like Levik has a strong desire to control. He has to let the other party know that he has no malicious intentions.

Into the night

Li Xing went to the place Levik had agreed with him.

Royal residence.

A high-end Japanese restaurant, all dignitaries who can come here to eat.

There are many Japanese dishes, but Li Xing doesn't like them very much. The only one he likes is croquettes, which Dai Linsi made for him.

Looks like I won't be able to get enough of this meal tonight.

Fortunately, Li Xing didn't come here with a full stomach. He walked in and met Timothy Levik.

"It's said that Lakey Lee is the most difficult guy in the world to get along with. How come I don't feel any discomfort from you?" Levik made a small joke.

Li Xing said lightly: "In front of Your Excellency, I am just a young man, and I should know how to be humble."

humble?

Levik seemed to hear a big joke.

If Li Xing is just an ordinary NBA star, that's fine.

His influence has long gone beyond the NBA itself, and even people like him can often hear rumors about Li Xing.

The name Lacie Lee is definitely the most eye-catching name in recent years.

"If you're just a young man, David Stern doesn't think you're the apple of his eye."

"If you're just a young man, Brian should be able to handle you easily, instead of accumulating deep anger and venting it through some shady means."

"If you were just a young man, the Raptors would not have the prestige they have today. You are too humble."

Li Xing said with a smile: "I admit everything I have done, but I am still very young. I am only 23 years old. Both psychologically and legally, I am young."

"Okay, young man, do you know what we're going to talk about today?"

"Of course, I don't like to beat around the bush."

Li Xing did not intend to just sit there and let Levik ask questions: "You are a big celebrity on the board of directors, and you have handled more than tens of millions of things. The Raptors are just one of the small projects, and I want to talk to you about the team. future."

"Larch, the Raptors are not a small project."

"Or, since having you, the Raptors have been the most successful investment the board has made since the millennium."

"It's not a small item as an advertising utility anymore, young man," laughed Levek.

"Yes, it's not."

"So we need to talk about the future of the team."

"Oh? Shouldn't the next general manager discuss this matter with me?"

Levik looked at him amusedly.

"After this incident, I'm afraid no one would want to come to Toronto."

Li Xing made it clear.

"Since you know there will be this consequence, why?"

Levik stared at Li Xing, and the smile on his face also became stiff. Colangelo was carried by him, and now that this incident happened, he is not good-looking on the board of directors.

"Because he is incompetent, because he is pitiful."

Li Xing said.

"Larch, have you forgotten who chose you in the first place?" There was sarcasm in Levik's words.

"This may be the most correct decision he has made in his life, but everything that happened later has little to do with him."

Li Xing no longer hid it, and directly played his cards with Levik.

Li Xing spent 10 minutes talking about a series of topics from team building, to the draft, to team culture.

At the end of Levik's hearing, he set up a piece of sashimi and dipped it in vinegar: "The Japanese are really smart. Eating fish like this is both healthy and delicious."

If Li Xing hadn't happened to be talking to him about something, he would have to correct this guy's taste.

How can this parasite-infested sashimi be healthy and tasty?

Even if it has been processed, it is at best detached from health, delicious?forget it!

"You want to control the team, you don't want anything, you just want to make money for the team and win achievements for me, so what is your purpose?"

Levik gently poured a glass of wine: "Everyone has a purpose, you must never say that you like me and want to do something for me."

Since it is a clear card, it must be played to the end.

"I want to do something other than basketball -- like golf."

Li Xing's words stunned Levik.

"I don't want anything else on the court, no one can beat me, I need a new challenge, but I can't leave the league, and I desperately need this new motivation."

"I need an environment where I'm not getting in the way, we're going to keep winning and I'm not getting in the way."

"It sounds like I have no reason to refuse."

"Not really."

"Shouldn't we raise a glass?" Levek said. "Good cooperation?"

"Sir, it's not cooperation."

Li Xing raised his glass and said: "To the most outstanding CEO of this era, and to the most outstanding sports club of this era."

Levik smiled, picked up the wine glass and touched Li Xing lightly.

Levik didn't make it clear, but Li Xing believed that he had convinced him.

When parting, Levick said: "Your proposal is ridiculous, but the team really should open a new chapter."

This is Levik's answer.

So far, Li Xing has seized the power and completely controlled the team.

after that

On Jean Nuo's last day at the Lincoln apartment, Li Xing gathered his training team, double-teamed the entire restaurant, and had a party inside.

Everyone knew that Jeannot was leaving, and they came to him one after another to express their gratitude.

"Pudu, you should tell them." Li Xing's personal doctor Ge Wen said.

"No need." Jean Nuo said, "Since they haven't found anything in the past three years, it means they shouldn't know."

"But."

"Don't you want to toast me?" asked Jeannot.

Gervin stopped talking, raised his glass and said, "To the day we meet again."

That night, Li Xing drank with them until late at night, except for Rang Nuo, none of them remained absolutely sober.

"Looks like you're done with it."

In the car, Jean Nuo said.

Li Xing was not conscious, but he knew what Rang Nuo was talking about.

"Of course, it's done, very smoothly."

Li Xing squinted his eyes, only to feel that his mind was very confused.

When you're drunk, you think of more things.

Oddly enough, he wasn't thinking about the team, or golf, but something he had no idea what it was.

His consciousness was completely confused.

The Swiss drove the car outside Lincoln's apartment.

Jeannot got out of the car and said to the Swiss: "He's completely drunk."

"I know."

The Swiss did his job well, and Jeanno had nothing to worry about, and he went straight to the deserted street.

The Swiss didn't know what he was going to do. His duty was to send Li Xing home.

So, he first drove the car into the parking lot, then called a few bodyguards to help Li Xing up reasonably, and walked into the apartment upside down.
