My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 791 The Pledge of Allegiance is Here

But when I returned to my house on the hilltop in Yau Tsim Mong, I saw a tall, dark-skinned man who was over two meters tall, and I realized that the house was really a bit small.

The boy made no attempt to hide his questions, asking all sorts of inquiries, like who that girl was...

Qin Yuye couldn't stop laughing. He pulled Shen Cuiyue away, leaving Wei Dong to communicate with Camp in Martian language.

Wei Dong asked Mao'er to bring him a map of Hong Kong, find the training center at the south end, draw a sailboat to simulate a sporting posture, and write "she" to indicate that the girl is training diligently. He also drew a trophy to convey that she is striving and working hard for honor.

Kemp quickly pointed to the trophy and patted his chest, indicating that he could do it too!
Wei Dong had no choice but to draw circles along the several kilometers of coastline from Deep Water Bay and Repulse Bay to Stanley, marking "home" and then crossing out "house," struggling to recall the word "family" to express that we are a family and that we should work hard to live together.

The little black guy, who had already become a star in Hong Kong, blinked hard and muttered, "I should go learn Chinese."

Shi Tou happened to turn on the TV, and just as the family was concerned about such trivial matters, every household with sports news, social news, or whatever program could somehow relate to it, broadcasted the shocking footage from the stadium.

A score of just over 100 is less important than a score of 30 or 40.

Camp truly demonstrated what visual impact is.

Various dunks, slam dunks, one-on-one plays, pull-up jumpers, and physical domination.

It's so exciting that it gets people's blood pumping, makes them hold their breath, and makes them scream and shout.

Even after the event ended, when facing various media interviews, they were excited and moved, some even with tears streaming down their faces.

Even Wei Dong felt that watching the game this way was very helpful for releasing emotions.

The players and coaches of the top-tier champion team were convinced of the superiority of the team, but admitted that it was pointless to have players of this caliber in Hong Kong, as they were too dominant and did not improve the team's competitiveness.

The implication is clear: let's go, we're not fighting anymore...

The reporters couldn't help but encourage you to join him in conquering Southeast Asia.

A glint of light flashed in the players' eyes; who wouldn't want to dominate the scene?

Especially when following such a super-powerful general.

As a result, the area around the interview camera was filled with citizens who had become basketball fans, all cheering for the suggestion.

Wei Dong was extremely satisfied; this situation, where the entire city was enthusiastically mobilized, was exactly what he wanted.

But no one expected what some people were doing all night long.

The next day, they had just finished their morning run at the dock basketball court and discussed work with the sales staff. Shortly after they started training, Qin Yuye called.

Surprisingly, "The Hong Kong Basketball Association has inquired about the possibility of inviting Kemp to play for Hong Kong in this year's Asian Championship!"

Wei Dong was surprised: "Ah, I have thought about this, but it's not him... He's going to play in the NBA, how could he come to Hong Kong for naturalization? Wait, naturalization won't affect his NBA career, right? No, no, no, I'm considering this as a long-term matter, there's not enough time for naturalization, is there?"

He recalled that naturalization was a very complicated matter, and it wasn't popular in the 1980s.

So, following his plan, it would take at least two or three years to make a name for himself in Southeast Asia and achieve results in exchanges with the mainland.

They only started to naturalize people gradually.

And Kemp... how can you naturalize such a top player?
Qin Yuye pushed the hand to Fa Ge: "I ran into him this morning, he just got back from work. Talk to him about the contract and have him come with you to discuss it. I need to buy a house, buy a house!"

Being able to buy a house in Deep Water Bay is indeed of great significance to Hong Kong people.

Wei Dong quickly reminded her, "Don't buy a large, quiet mansion, or one that's too deserted, or one that's too lively like Stanley. Something in between."

His wife nodded and said she understood.

Chow Yun-fat, looking tired, came over for lunch and mentioned that the film he was working on had finally wrapped up filming.

He then handed Wei Dong the contracts for those five films: "Now they're back in your own hands. Two are for this year, and three are for next year or the year after. Take a breather. You don't even have to film them."

A pre-signed acting contract has a limited timeframe and a limited salary, but the script can be changed.

Basically, they sign a bunch of actors before they become famous.

A million dollars in film salary is indeed top-tier in Hong Kong at this time, but it is still a huge exploitation.

The only one who can escape exploitation is Brother Long.

Chow Yun-fat was clearly jolted awake, and he flipped through the contracts in surprise, knowing perfectly well from whom they had been received: "For me?"

Wei Dong nodded: "Well, you decide whether to make it or not. If you want to make it, you get a guaranteed share of the profits. I'll invest in the production, and you'll get a base salary of one million. After deducting the income of others from the box office, we'll split the profits. I hope you can be like Brother Long, meticulously crafting two or three films a year at most. Working non-stop like this is too tiring."

Brother Long operates on this model, which is why he can earn 20 million yuan a year with only one or two films.

Since Chow Yun-fat became a sensation last year with "A Better Tomorrow," he has now filmed fourteen movies!
Everyone was so tired that they were almost dazed and disoriented.

Upon hearing this, he instantly relaxed, slumped onto a beach chair by the pier, and seemed to have used a lot of strength to clasp his hands in a deep bow to Rang Weidong.

Then he fell silent. Only after Wei Dong had almost finished his lunchbox did he sit up straight and say, "I want to marry A-Lian and take a six-month break."

Wei Dong nodded: "No problem, I'll definitely give you a big red envelope. My Ah Ming is getting married in a couple of days. After his wedding... well, the main thing is to get the move sorted out. I also need to go back to the mainland. The factory in Shanghai, the factory in Jiangzhou, and maybe even to Beijing, 凸(艹皿艹)!"

The sheer scale of the two major automotive supply chains entering the market still made him a little uneasy.

Chow Yun-fat laughed: "Aren't you just as tired?"

Wei Dong shook his head proudly: "It's different, it's different. I'm busy for myself, and I have my own goals, so no one is forcing me. Besides, I still have the opportunity to play ball and broaden my horizons. It's very relaxing."

Chow Yun-fat took a deep breath: "Then I'll finish filming 'God of Gamblers' first, and I also need to prepare for Ah Lian's wedding. I'll try to use the profits from 'God of Gamblers' to buy the remaining film contracts."

Wei Dong was taken aback: "How much is left?"

Chow Yun-fat sighed, "Eleven films, ten films a year for the past three years."

Wei Dong's scalp tingled: "Holy crap, how did you manage to sign all those contracts...?"

Chow Yun-fat smiled bitterly: "I was poor for many years and had bad luck for many years, so when I first saw it becoming popular, I thought a million dollars a film would be fine. Who knew that I would have to sign contracts with people I could and couldn't sign. It was from the time I filmed your commercial to the time you came to settle down in Singapore for half a year that we signed the contract. When I went to Singapore to find you, I was really struggling to keep up."

Wei Dong looked at him and said, "You should have said so earlier, at least there would have been fewer films back then?"

Chow Yun-fat shook his head: "I see you carrying the factory back even with a gun pointed at you, so what is this compared to that? But filming this year has really been exhausting."

Wei Dong agreed, saying, "Then I'll have Hesheng try to buy some more, but Hesheng's calculations are as follows..."

Chow Yun-fat felt a huge sense of relief: "At least they try to reason with you, but some of them just don't care and insist on sticking to the contract and rules."

He told Wei Dong to stand up: "Let's go. That's why I said we still need to make basketball bigger and stronger. It'll be easier to talk to you if you have social status."

Chow Yun-fat also laughed: "I really couldn't get there yesterday, but I know it was spectacular. There will definitely be more of this kind of thing in the future, and I will definitely make it."

Wei Dong chuckled and pulled him away in the car. The two Taoist priests and Shi Tou also got into the minivan.

On the way, I also talked about how I went to Citibank to close the deal with the car factory and almost introduced this model. We drove through the Cross-Harbour Tunnel to Central, Hong Kong Island.

Many government departments and official agencies are here, and the Basketball Association was also near the venue last night.

The two swaggered in, much to the other person's surprise that a movie star was involved.

Even when acting, Chow Yun-fat remains composed and dignified: "I am the chairman and spokesperson of Dong Sheng Sports, and Pete is the founder and CEO. We are very confident in promoting Hong Kong basketball and sports to the world."

This was the script they had agreed on since they started at the community basketball court.

The goal is to make a name for ourselves within ten years, achieving social status and getting what we need.

Wei Dong felt that this was an easier way to get ahead than doing business.

As a result, the people from the Basketball Association immediately took over!

“Yes! This Adil is excellent, which is why we discussed the possibility of including this young player from Indiana in the HK national team to compete in the Asian Championships…”

That's why Wei Dong was surprised: "You already have ideas about naturalization?"

Even though Chow Yun-fat translated it into Cantonese, his English wasn't very good, so he couldn't make the other person understand what the word meant.

Instead, he shook his head repeatedly: "I don't know what nonsense you're spouting, he's BDTC..."

Well, this almost made Chow Yun-fat break out in a sweat. It was the first time he realized that his lack of education was a weakness.

However, the other party also explained carefully that at that time, HK was a British colony, and BDTC was a general term for citizens of these overseas colonies. It was a new definition that was confirmed in 81 and implemented in 83.

They refer to all of Da Ying's overseas citizens as BDTC, and Sean Camp's mother is an immigrant from Bermuda, which he wrote on his immigration form!
The legendary, mysterious Bermuda is actually a tourist island off the coast of Virginia. Many African immigrants come from there, and even those passing through Africa like to claim they are from Bermuda, just like crabs from Yangcheng Lake.

The Cayman Islands, the famous offshore company registration location, and the island from the Falklands War, along with thirteen other overseas colonies, all fall under this legal framework.

In name, they can be considered a country!
At the very least, they can move freely without a visa.

Therefore, as the son of Bermuda immigrants, and being part of the same family, both the UK and the US recognize dual citizenship.

So Sean Camp would automatically be eligible for BDTC citizenship, which is backward compatible.

That means he can play international games for Hong Kong, which doesn't prevent him from playing in the NBA as a Citizen in the future, and may even make it easier for him to play in the NBA.

According to current NBA regulations, one must complete at least one year of college before entering the NBA. This is why, even after being falsely accused, he still had to attend a vocational college in Texas.

However, if he is an international player, he can apply for a trial as long as he is under 19 years old!
There are no other restrictions.

Wei Dong was stunned. Did he just become a member of the HK team?
At that moment, he had no idea what the Asian Championships in October meant.

This was in 1987, and the Olympics were just a year away. At that point, none of the people involved in this huge blunder had realized the key point.
