Baseball is a very unfamiliar sport to Chinese people.

Even when we see Americans going crazy about this on TV, there is no sense of involvement.

You may even wonder, what fun is there with so many people surrounding such a small ball?

But in a country that really has this kind of baseball culture, if you invest in it, you will like baseball very much.

Across the world, Europeans don't like baseball. Only the Americas and East Asia really like to play baseball.

Baseball in Cuba, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and the Treasure Island region of our country is all very good. However, due to demographic disadvantages and the lack of wider attention, baseball has never become a world-class sport.

But this only refers to intercontinental competitions such as the Olympics. Whether it is North America, Mexico, Japan or South Korea, domestic leagues are in full swing. Players, teams, sponsors, etc. are all making a lot of money.

Full.

This is enough.

Just like the sport of ice hockey, it has never been on the big stage, but as long as everyone can make money and everyone is happy, isn't it great?

Of course, baseball is still more popular than ice hockey. The New York Yankees are a world-class club. In terms of influence alone, only Real Madrid can rival them.

In recent years, Barcelona has become much more famous than Real Madrid, but inside and outside the football field, more people still believe that Real Madrid is the number one club.

Just like on the baseball field, although the Boston Red Sox are also very powerful and famous, they are not as influential as the New York Yankees.

I'll leave this aside.

After Tang Mingxiang bought the New York Yankees Group and privatized it, the New York Yankees were not affected at all, at least on the surface it seemed that way.

Moreover, Tang Mingxiang is now an elite with experience in shopping malls. She has just taken charge of such a large sports group. Her best choice is to do nothing but manage the finances and let this mature team continue to lead.

New York Yankees advance.

Then after waiting for two or three years, she had completely understood the details of the New York Yankees. Then Tang Mingxiang could gradually change the New York Yankees and completely turn it into an asset of the Xiao family.

Well, it is also the private property of her house.

However, no matter what, the New York Yankees are Tang Mingxiang’s property in a legal sense, so her decision about the New York Yankees also has practical significance. Many executives and even players are worried about their jobs.

question.

The coaches and managers in charge of competitive sports are a little worried that Tang Mingxiang is like other investors. Once he buys the team, he will start to put athletes from his own country to the New York Yankees regardless of their quality.

It was a very bad problem at that time.

Fortunately, Tang Mingxiang did not do this, and the baseball in China was really unsatisfactory, so their worries did not come true.

But this does not prove that no one is interested in the New York Yankees.

For example, Sun Zhenyi called and asked Xiao Qi to let the New York Yankees come to Japan to play a few warm-up games with his Fukuoka SoftBank Eagles before the preseason in February.

The Japanese Baseball League, like the United States, is divided into two different leagues, one is the Central League and the other is the Pacific League. The Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks are a team in the Pacific League and were sold to SoftBank by Daiei Corporation in 25 years ago.

The performance of the group in the past few years has been good or bad, that is, the level of mid-range, far inferior to the two giants of Tokyo Yomiuri Giants and Hanshin Team.

Sun Zhenyi bought the Fukuoka team for the same reason as Tang Mingxiang bought the New York Yankees. To give himself an upper-class bargaining chip, although he has invested a lot of money in the past two years, there has been no improvement.

Now that he saw the New York Yankees being bought by Xiao Qi's wife, he naturally started thinking about the New York Yankees.

If the world's number one baseball giant like the New York Yankees can come to Japan and play a few games with the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks, both in terms of momentum and actual benefits, it will bring huge benefits to the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks and help Fukuoka.

The SoftBank Hawks enter the Japan Baseball League's elite ranks.

Xiao Qi readily agreed to Sun Zhenyi's request, which was a piece of cake. What's more, the New York Yankees also intend to expand their influence in Asia. Japan, a super-rich country, is naturally one of the targets they want to expand. Even if the original

The senior management did not have this intention, but Tang Mingxiang had such a plan.

Within Japan, the young man only agreed to Sun Zhenyi.

Previously, Sony's Teruki Takagawa approached Xiao Qi and wanted to play a warm-up game for the New York Yankees for the Yomiuri Giants, but Xiao Qi refused without hesitation.

Among the three major newspapers in Japan, Yomiuri, Sankei and Asahi, only the Asahi Shimbun in the south has a friendly attitude towards China. The other two are very vicious. Although Yomiuri is a little better than Sankei, it is not

What a good thing.

Xiao Qi is not a bad person. You write bad things about our country, China, and smear us all day long. I still want to compete with you, so go fuck yourself!

That is to say, Asahi does not have its own baseball team, otherwise Xiao Qi would have to arrange several games for Asahi. People who are friendly to China should be encouraged!

As mentioned before, baseball is very popular in East Asia. In addition to Japan, there are also South Korea and Taiwan. Baseball leagues are also very popular.

When Tang Mingxiang bought the New York Yankees, Li Jianxi also called Xiao Qi and explained that the Samsung Lions wanted to have a warm-up game with the New York Yankees.

Xiao Qi naturally agreed. In addition, there was another quota in South Korea, but it was left to Li Zhenxi to decide.

This matter can improve Li Zhenxi's status in South Korea. After all, it can decide who plays the New York Yankees, which means which team's reputation in South Korea will greatly increase!

So these days, Li Zhenxi has been in trouble.

The 9-year-old Youxi is quite busy with school and homework. In addition, the second daughter Yunxi is less than one year old and needs her to take care of her all the time. How can she have time to do other things?

She has barely even visited her own gmarket company, let alone any baseball game arrangements.

Li Zhenxi used to like baseball games more and even went to kick off baseball games. But since she divorced her ex-husband, she hates baseball very much and doesn't like it at all.

Seeing a group of baseball team managers and the conglomerate giants behind them constantly calling to inquire and request, Li Zhenxi felt that she was getting anxious.

After thinking about it, Li Zhenxi remembered another beauty and star Han Jiaer that Li Jianxi gave to Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi told Li Zhenxi everything about Han Jia'er and made it clear that he would take good care of her for a few years and then let her regain her freedom.

Li Zhenxi also knew Han Jiaer relatively well. She knew that she was a woman with a good personality and a good heart in the entertainment industry. She was somewhat similar to herself. In addition, she had the same experience, so she had natural sympathy for this little sister.

Since Xiao Qi wants to take care of her, people can't look down on her, otherwise her fate will be much more difficult, so leaving this matter to her to handle should be a help, right?

And we can use this to take a look at Han Jia'er's performance. If her performance is average, that's it. But if she performs well, Li Zhenxi has another plan in mind.

Okay, so Han Jiaer, who was resting in her hometown to prepare for the Lunar New Year, was "innocently implicated".

After Li Zhenxi revealed that Xiao Qi actually handed over the decision-making power to his other woman, Han Jiaer, Han Jiaer's mobile phone, which had been idle during this period, immediately entered a busy stage.

Poor Han Jiaer, she didn't dare to refuse Li Zhenxi's call, and then she was confused by such a series of calls.

Not to mention, starting from the next day, the small town where Han Jiaer lived began to receive a large number of visitors, including stars from the baseball team, as well as executives from large conglomerates such as LG, SK, Kia, etc.

Tube.

Without saying anything polite, they also brought a lot of various gifts in their hands, which filled two rooms of Han Jiaer's house. Her parents were stunned and her younger brothers and sisters were excited and confused.

With a hint of apprehension.

The residents of the town were also surprised. They all knew that Han Jia'er was a big star, but they didn't expect that she was so respectable, including many baseball stars who could only be seen on TV, as well as high-ranking bosses in the business world.

, they all come to visit with smiles on their faces, which is a rare and extremely high treatment.

Han Jiaer actually knows a lot about baseball, but she doesn't like it much, so she has no preference as to who will give the remaining spot to the New York Yankees' warm-up game.

She didn't know what Li Zhenxi really meant, and she didn't dare to make a random decision, so she really didn't want to talk about the entanglement in her heart.

Sometimes she wanted to call Xiao Qi to ask what she should do, but in the end she still didn't pick up the phone.

It would be great if the Samsung Lions were on the list, then she could legitimately arrange the Samsung Lions, so that no one could say anything, and she could still be considered responsible.

It's a pity that the Samsung Lions have long been determined to be able to participate in the warm-up match, so there is no target for who to choose second.

The other seven teams in the baseball league all actively came to say hello, offered benefits, begged, made love dramas... and other means, which made Han Jiaer quite helpless, and inevitably felt a feeling of joy from a superior person in her heart.

Everyone will have this kind of emotion, but when everyone is respectful in front of you and trying their best to please you, everyone will feel this way.
