My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 716 We're Going to Do Something Big

Isn't this the standard internet mindset?

Gathering thousands of people from all walks of life creates an enormous amount of information.

Without further ado, Wei Dong signaled to the business managers to quickly make one-on-one contact with each other.

He announced that he would gather three teams this weekend to play games in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, with all expenses covered by the basketball arena, and a bonus of five to ten thousand Hong Kong dollars for each win.

Specifically, it's either the three best teams of the week, or a mix of top players from various amateur teams.

Listen to everyone's ideas.

Using capital to play sports is simply crushing the competition.

He was clearly a hobbyist who was used as a free resource, yet he still received thunderous applause from the entire audience!
Baseball is essentially a gathering of enthusiasts who haven't received much professional training; they are players on the fringes of society.

Especially basketball, a sport that isn't very mainstream in Hong Kong.

It's already so great and exciting to have so many like-minded people to play with.

They even ventured out of Hong Kong and headed north to compete?
Furthermore, this principle of "democratic" centralism allows everyone to express their opinions freely.

The atmosphere will definitely heat up to an explosive level very quickly.

Many people have been asking me if I can come along since I have a travel permit. I'll cover my own food and lodging and just come along to watch the fun. These teams can't function without supporters.

Some players were also surprised, saying, "I've never been to mainland China, what should I do if I don't have the necessary permits?"
Wei Dongcai then passed the buck to these business managers: "Go find them, just say you went with them to the inland to discuss container business!"

The whole audience burst into laughter again.

People often say they look down on mainlanders, not only because of the current economic gap between the two sides, but also because the mainlanders' unsophisticated appearance does make them seem inferior.

A wealthy person who is open and generous is particularly interesting.

Those business managers seemed to have relaxed and rested during the day, but now they're working like crazy, non-stop.

By the time the competition started at seven o'clock, they had indeed received a lot of business information. They said goodbye to General Manager Rang with a series of pleasant surprises. They had to rush back to the West District every day, which was an ironclad rule of the company.

Liu Xiaoyong insisted on going back too. He couldn't stand playing ball for a while in the morning, so he ran to the street and bought all kinds of books and work supplies that he had made a list of. Now he just wants to get back to work.

Just by looking at this two-story basketball court, he felt that Hong Kong's approach was worth learning from and should be immediately applied to the two-story space of the aircraft carrier hangar.

He instructed Wei Dong to try to train a few people to travel back and forth frequently, as the Shanghai Design Studio would definitely need to expand, and Pengzhen would be indispensable.

Being close to Hong Kong has its own advantages; container companies can send sales representatives back and forth, so can we.

Liu Xiaoyong was still full of regret for leaving his boss in enemy-occupied territory: "You should have brought guards with you. I can't fight or carry anything, so please be careful!"

It's estimated that he only found out later how Xiao Fan used explosives and detonators to retaliate against Wei Dong.

Wei Dong laughed heartily and told the business staff to take good care of their designers.

I have my own guards.

Sure enough, not long after the basketball game started at seven o'clock, Mao'er and Shitou appeared, protecting Shen Laosan from the front and back, and leading Xiaodie.

Every few days, they would definitely make long calls to exchange information about their respective situations.

Shen Cuiyue's decision to stay in Hong Kong despite her gritting her teeth suggests a natural affinity for the underworld.

On my first visit, I had almost no contact with them. Even though I made a phone call to my family, I didn't realize that the triads were so prevalent in Hong Kong.

When she heard that someone dared to openly covet her property and use those underworld tricks, she couldn't help but want to see more.

Wei Dong still harbored a doting affection for his siblings that he himself was unaware of, and he might have been deliberately testing whether the three siblings would stay.

So every night, Shen Laosan would bring his younger brother to check on their business.

Yau Tsim Mong is really not a large area. It's less than two kilometers from the residential area on the hill, and it's all bustling and lively neighborhoods.

Now, suddenly seeing the man standing in the center by the second-floor railing, he must be filled with surprise and delight.

Knowing that Wei Dong had recently arrived in Pengzhen and was busy, she wanted to send her younger brother back to rely on him.

Wei Dong laughed and scolded him, saying that he was now spending every day with thousands of men, and that they should keep them for themselves.

Now, with her chin raised from afar, Shen Cuiyue smiled and leaned against the door, refusing to leave.

Even Wei Dong, who wanted to look away, couldn't help but exchange a glance from a distance.

Stone remained hidden next to Third Sister, and Mao quickly picked up Little Butterfly, who was thrashing about violently, and offered her to him.

The daughter immediately hugged her father's head tightly, washing her face with saliva and tears!

This made Wei Dong burst into laughter. Compared to his previous withdrawn and silent self, his current outgoing and enthusiastic demeanor was definitely a good improvement.

He held the ball on his arm while watching the game and sharing his feelings with his daughter.

However, Xiaodie's current tone is: "Holy crap, little brother! Little brother!"

This fully demonstrates that she still feels closer to her aunt's side and misses her more.

Wei Dong then told her about how his younger brother had been playing in the factory area recently, and mentioned that the older brother who didn't cry was already in school.

The daughter naturally clung to her father's head, reluctant to part.

But he can still manage to say "hello" a couple of times.

Before Wei Dong could miss the opportunity, he noticed the various Nike and Adidas jerseys on display and had an idea. He turned his head, about to say something, but then realized Qin Yuye wasn't around. So he swallowed his words.

That's right, when he returned to Hong Kong, the one thing he couldn't do without was a Hong Kong girl.

Whether it's language or personal connections.

Even when Wei Dong wanted to contact someone like Li Bancheng, he found that he didn't have his contact information. His wife had already taken care of everything around him in Hong Kong like a top assistant.

This was somewhat made up for when Chow Yun-fat appeared after finishing work at around 10 p.m.

It's clear that Chow Yun-fat has put a lot of effort into this. After the success of "A Better Tomorrow" last year, he immediately rose to the top tier of celebrities.

With film contracts saturated, it's a real battleground where both the legitimate and underworld factions are vying for film slots.

I've been filming like crazy lately.

But I still try to make time to visit the basketball court.

They came in surrounded by a retinue, and waved to Wei Dong as soon as they saw him from afar.

He even jokingly gestured to Wei Dong with his eyes to the beautiful women on either side of him.

Having seen Chow Yun-fat's wife, who is currently living in seclusion, Wei Dong immediately understood that Chow Yun-fat had deliberately brought her along to create buzz and attention.

Sure enough, the atmosphere in the basketball arena became incredibly heated the moment they entered.

Hong Kong people can usually avoid crowding around and disturbing Hong Kong celebrities when they see them on the street.

In activities that are more confined to a small circle, like basketball courts, they simply can't contain themselves.

People on both sides of the inner and outer layers bravely reached out and even held up their cameras to take pictures.

Wei Dong suspected that many people were waiting for Chow Yun-fat to come and chase after him. There were probably three to five thousand people in the basketball arena, with the surrounding stands packed to the brim and the sidelines below also overflowing.

Chow Yun-fat, already quite skilled, was surrounded as he entered. He casually took the basketball and executed a hook shot with one hand: "Who's the champion today? Want to compete with me in five three-pointers? I've been practicing recently!"

The already heated atmosphere could suddenly surge even higher.

He's tall and handsome, and even the slightest expression or gesture from him is breathtakingly charming.

Xiaodie watched intently.

Wei Dong chuckled and turned around, asking Shen Laosan, who was already sitting behind him, "He really is handsome, isn't he?"

The girl wasn't used to appearing in public together either, so she wore a pair of brown sunglasses, forced a smile, and didn't say anything.

She only continued to stare blankly at the back of the figure in front of her after Wei Dong turned around.

Handsome men and beautiful women are the kind of people who are admired by thousands no matter what they do.

The two beauties, clearly movie stars, had contrasting styles of cheerfulness and shyness. They followed Chow Yun-fat and the handpicked streetball player to shoot a few baskets, which drew cheers from the crowd.

Even after the game ended and people left the basketball arena, amateur fans and basketball enthusiasts were still excitedly discussing it.

For celebrities and those competing abroad, prize money becomes a minor matter.

Chow Yun-fat and his friends also had a late-night snack at the Typhoon Shelter restaurant next door.

I heard that Wei Dong was asked to take a group to Pengzhen and Yuezhou to play ball this weekend, and he was a little worried: "I really want to go, but my schedule is too tight!"

The female celebrity next to her couldn't help but ask in Cantonese, "I've never heard that you like playing basketball so much."

Chow Yun-fat translated and explained: "It's very interesting. Pitt chose a spot that many people haven't seen to gather young people in Hong Kong. No, I'd take time off to go with him, at least to make an appearance."

This is the benefit of his in-depth conversation with Wei Dong.

Knowing that this is more than just a basketball game, and understanding that he doesn't even need to do everything himself, just showing up from time to time to maintain his presence, makes him seem more precious.

After all, Chow Yun-fat is a major shareholder in the sports company.

Wei Dong gave him a thumbs up in satisfaction: "Then I'll try my best to gather enough opportunities, make it more exciting, and maximize the benefits."

The Cantonese speaker even quietly reminded Chow Yun-fat: "Don't be tricked into going on stage and making appearances, he'll make all the money!"

Chow Yun-fat laughed and said, "Pitt is a big shot who does business with Uncle De, Old Heng, and Mr. Li. Even though he is my boss in mainland China, we are not in it for the money."

The other, more reserved one, suddenly said quietly, "I have plane tickets, 200 Hong Kong dollars from Kowloon to Guangzhou, three flights a day. You can fly over from Wutaishan, make a brief appearance, and come back. It won't interfere with the film crew. Can I go with you?"

She can speak some Cantonese and Mandarin, so she can obviously understand what Wei Dong just said, which will maximize the benefits.

Chow Yun-fat glanced at Rang Wei-tung and readily nodded: "Anything is fine. The basketball sports company will cover the expenses. If it needs to be settled as a commercial activity, the agent can bring an agreement to sign."

The girl shook her head repeatedly, saying no, she was just visiting a friend.

After having a late-night snack, they saw the ladies off to their cars, and then the three of them walked home with several people looking after them.

Xiaodie had already fallen asleep comfortably on her father's shoulder.

Wei Dong then gestured wildly and said in a low voice, "Holy crap, you guys didn't see it! When I stood up in that conference room, I saw the aircraft carrier next to me, it was huge..."

Chow Yun-fat listened with great interest: "I think it was mentioned in the newspaper a few days ago, saying that the whole of Yuen Long went to the shore to see that boat. At the time, I had a suspicion that it was you who did this, since it seems so far-fetched yet not impossible!"

Wei Dong was very proud: "It was originally a weapon of war, but we transformed it into a tourist attraction. Now it can also be used as temporary dormitories and a place to play basketball... Haha, I'll take Hong Kong basketball enthusiasts there to play games!"

Chow Yun-fat exclaimed longingly, "Then I'll take another day off to go see it..."
