Li Ba nodded and said to the girl: "Xianxi, except for the senbei and the winery, our investments are all long-term investments. There will not be much in the future, just look at the monthly and quarterly annual reports of each company."

The girl nodded and said with a smile on Gao Yuanyuan: "Sister Yuanyuan, you have to teach me in the future."

"Okay, I can be regarded as being locked up by your husband and wife. I have brought you together, and now I have to make money for you to raise a baby." Gao Yuanyuan said helplessly.

"Haha..." Everyone at the table laughed.

"By the way, will you go on the day of the draft?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

Li Ba shook his head and said: "No. In addition, you and Bill Duffy arrange to announce that I will give up the wc world title."

"It's a pity." Dayao shook his head.

"It's nothing to be a pity. Boxing is meant to be fun, let's talk about it later." Li Ba said.

The next day, Gao Yuanyuan and Dayao left.

The girl was the master, and each gave two boxes of top quality wines, but they didn't take them away, and they were temporarily stored in the wine cellar.

That afternoon, the castle recruited two workers and a cook again.

The two workers are locals, both middle-aged women, one white and one black, responsible for cleaning and other housework.

The chef was invited through the San Francisco Housekeeping Company. She is also a Chinese, named Huang Ling, who is also a generation of immigrants. She has just immigrated to the United States less than two, and has a shorter history than Zhang Yuzhen.

Li Ba found that there have been a lot of domestic immigrants to the United States in recent years. He knows that the domestic development is very good, but he does not understand why these people abandon the excellent domestic development situation and go to the United States.

Like Zhang Yuzhen and Huang Ling, they all have good jobs in China and achieved good results. Otherwise, they don't have capital. But when they come here, they are just cooking for his family. Is it necessary? Far not as decent as domestic.

Zhang Yuzhen didn’t come with her this time. Her family was in Phoenix, her daughter was studying there, and her husband’s job was also there. It was impossible to come here to work. Li Ba and the girl gave her three more months of salary and ended her Work contract.

With three more people, Zhou Yuehe and Liu Xiaoli would relax, otherwise the daily housework in such a big castle would be enough for them both to have a headache.

One day later, guests came to the castle, Liu Xiaoli's sister and Cici's cousin Liu Qian.

On June 23rd, Gao Yuanyuan and Bill Duffy held a press conference on behalf of Li Ba and formally announced the abandonment of the wc world heavyweight title.

On June 24, the Suns chairman and general manager Jerry Colangelo and Brian Colangelo announced the end of their contract with the Suns and left their positions.

Owner Savor held a grand press conference to thank Jerry Colangelo for his contribution to the Suns.

The departure of Colangelo symbolizes that the Suns have ended the Colangelo era and entered a new era.

At the same time, Savor announced his personal appointment as chairman, and then hired former Suns player Steve Kerr as general manager.

On June 25th, Kobe came to visit from Los Angeles.

Li Ba took him to visit the winery, and the wine cellar went down.

Seeing the huge wine cellar with countless bottles of wine, Kobe looked envious and said that he also wanted to build such a winery.

"How much is this?" Kobe asked.

"There are nearly 900,000 bottles, more than two years of production." Li Ba smiled.

"Oh, nine hundred thousand bottles, how much is it worth? These are also in your purchase price?" Kobe asked.

"Of course not. I paid for these in addition, 70 million U.S. dollars. If I sell them, there will probably be a profit of 10 million." Li Ba smiled.

"I know Yao wants to invest in this, too, has he decided?" Kobe asked.

"To proceed." Li Ba said.

"Then I will start, we will be neighbors here in the future." Kobe laughed.

The two stayed under the wine cellar for an hour before Kobe reluctantly came up.

"Will the Lakers change their lineup?" Li Ba asked.

"You are gone, we will not have major adjustments, only appropriate reinforcement of the bench lineup." Kobe said.

"The Heat, Grizzlies and Mavericks, I think they will continue to strengthen." Li Ba said.

"James has not yet completed the contract extension with the Cavaliers. They are chasing LeBron James and have already started secretly."

Kobe said.

After eating-lunch, Kobe took two boxes of wine from Li Ba and left.

In the past few days, the newly-built basketball room, boxing room, and fitness room have been completed. In the following time, apart from spending time with his wife, Li Ba's time was basically spent on these aspects. He did not intervene in the affairs of the winery.

He paid attention to Alliant's draft market, which has been swaying between the top seven, and the highest even rushed to fourth place.

Also on this day, the Suns announced that the new head coach was in place, and the former All-Star player Terry Porter was appointed.

Cole and Terry Porter told the media at the press conference that they will continue to build the team's defensive style.

On the 26th, Gao Yuanyuan took Allen to New York ~lightnovelpub.net~ to prepare for the draft.

At noon, Suns owner Savor called her and wanted to introduce her new general manager Cole.

The three met in a restaurant and chatted.

The content of the chat is of course inseparable from Li Ba. Finally, Savor mentioned the draft. He told Gao Yuanyuan that the team's first round of picks would choose her player Marc Gasol.

In the afternoon, Gao Yuanyuan met Paul Gasol.

Marc Gasol played in the Spanish league, but participated in this year's draft, but the draft market is average, this time he did not come.

The na team is still very cautious about the selection of overseas players, because players like Marc Gasol who play overseas, even if they are selected, may not necessarily join na.

"Paul, if Mark is selected, can he be guaranteed to leave the Spanish League?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

Gasol hesitated, and finally said: "If it is the first round, it should be possible to sign, but in the second round, the team may not necessarily sign, and Spain is not very good at doing work."

"I'm talking about the first round." Gao Yuanyuan asked.

Pau Gasol happily said after hearing this: "Gao, are there any teams that are sure to pick Mark in the first round? Is it the Suns?"

Gao Yuanyuan smiled and said: "The Suns are currently lacking a center, so Mark can use it when he comes. But the Suns are the 28th pick. Whether they can be selected depends on the chance."

Gasol laughed and said: "Mark has a mediocre market. He has never made the first round. It is already very good to be selected on the 28th. In fact, his contract in Spain has always been a puzzle for his draft."

"So the team must make sure that after he is selected, he can sign the team next season." Gao Yuanyuan stressed.

"Spain will leave it to me. If he is selected in the first round, I guarantee he can sign." Gasol laughed.
