Legendary Basketball Tycoon

To be honest, Bruce is really worried about Yao Ming’s English level. If his English is not good enough, how can I pass the TOEFL test? Besides, English was not popularized in China in the 1990s, so junior high school students only started to learn the most. For basic English textbooks, Bruce doesn't know how many levels Yao Ming's English is.

And Li Qiuping was obviously also shocked. He didn't expect Bruce to ask Yao Ming how well his English is. But he decided that it would be better to tell the truth.

"Prince prince, since I came back this year, I have contacted Yao Ming directly. Yao Ming's family knew that Yao Ming would go abroad to play football and also found an English tutor for Yao Ming early. I am afraid I have been teaching Yao Ming for the past few months. English, so if you want to ask Yao Ming's current level of English, then I really don't know." Li Qiuping asked a little embarrassed.

Indeed, Li Qiuping has recently been busy persuading Yao Ming's parents to let Yao Ming go abroad to study and play. He hasn't asked Yao Ming whether he can speak English or not.

"What should I do?! How about the English tutor invited by Yao Ming's house?!" Bruce raised his eyebrows and asked directly.

Whatever he is afraid of, Bruce is afraid that Yao Ming's TOEFL will not pass. Oh, do you think that foreign universities can let domestic students go to school for no reason? It is difficult to study in those universities without the proof of foreign students. It is basically to say that you can play football , Their university management all depend on the certificate.

Of course, unless there is a situation that someone from a foreign university sends people to China to conduct an inspection, and they determine that Yao Ming is outstanding, and if they have their guarantee, then they can also be exempted from studying abroad. After all, the university over there will definitely help you. Everything is handled properly, just wait for you to enter the university directly.

But Yao Ming is different. He didn't come to the university to investigate, but Bruce directly personally sponsored him, so Yao Ming also needs TOEFL to pass the test.

Therefore, the quality of Yao Ming's English tutor completely determines whether he can stay in the United States with Bruce this year. If Yao Ming can't stay beautiful this year, then next year he will have to go directly to the university to try out alone.

Because the 18-year-old is just right to go to college, high school must not think about it, but this obviously violates Bruce’s original intention. Bruce wants Yao Ming to come to the United States one year earlier, and he is ready to let Yao Ming lay a solid foundation one year earlier. , Whether it is cultural differences or eating habits, these all need to be adapted. If Yao Ming can adapt to high school a year in advance, it will definitely help him in his college career.

And if Yao Ming goes directly to university next year, he will need to adapt to the cultural differences and eating habits of the United States as soon as possible. For Yao Ming, who wants to gain a foothold in the NCAA arena as soon as possible, he must be under great pressure and cannot communicate in English. Why do people give you a starting position? Even if your personal strength is strong, basketball is always a team sport. Those veteran college coaches will not give you a starting position for a player who needs an interpreter. It’s not a club. How is the university!

"Sorry, prince, I'm not quite sure about this. It's my fault. I didn't do my job properly. I will call and ask about it later." Li Qiuping knew that he was obviously not doing my job this time, so he could only reply sorry. Tao.

He really forgot to ask Yao Ming English how about this matter, hope at least there is a good answer.

"Forget it, I will give the person in charge of the Tianhan Empire Company in the magic city, let them arrange a person who is good in Chinese and English to come and personally guide Yao Ming Ying, and casually introduce him to life in the United States, entertainment, and usual times. Some things to pay attention to."

"You must be a good supervisor here. You must supervise Yao Ming to learn English well. At least you have to take the TOEFL test. It's only May, and there is one month left. I hope you will have to work overtime during this time. If Yao Ming does that You can satisfy whatever you need. Teacher Li, Yao Ming, I will leave it to you anyway. You have to supervise Yao Ming!" Bruce said directly to Li Qiuping in a commanding tone.

There is no other way. Bruce can only call the head of the Chinese branch of Tianhan Empire in China, and ask them to arrange for a person who is good at Chinese and English to come and personally guide Yao Ming English, preferably a foreigner. He can also introduce the customs of the United States and some things that should be paid attention to in ordinary times.

It is also thanks to Bruce that the branch of the Tianhan Empire is set up in the magic city in advance. Every year, some foreigners come to the magic city to work, otherwise, they can only transfer people from the New York head office. I didn't know how much time would be wasted after coming back and forth.

In addition, to be on the safe side, you must let Li Qiuping personally press Yao Ming to review. Time is not waiting!

Bruce himself feels that time is very tight, not to mention that Yao Ming, who has only come into contact with English this year, also hopes that Yao Ming can pass the test, but fortunately there is still a little time, the high school TOEFL test should not be difficult.

He doesn’t know whether the TOEFL test in the 90s is good or not. After all, Bruce himself has never studied abroad, and he is still a scumbag. On this issue, he does not have much right to speak. His TOEFL shouldn’t be too difficult. No matter how much he had communicated with foreigners before, the TOEFL in junior high school such as grammar and listening is still not difficult for him.

"Good prince, I understand, I will definitely supervise Yao Ming to learn English in the next time." Li Qiuping replied helplessly.

Why did he suddenly feel that he was studying with the prince.

Isn't it right? The prince took Yao Ming too important, so he arranged for someone to teach Yao Ming English. Don't you need to be so exaggerated!

"Well, it's okay if you understand. In addition, I have already told Mr. Paul about your going to Seattle, and he agreed. He will ask you to go directly to General Manager Bob to report at that time, and you only have one year in Seattle Of course, all your expenses in Seattle will be reimbursed for you by the team, and you must return to New York a year later." Bruce told Li Qiuping of his decision.

Rick Carlisle won’t go to Seattle anymore, so Li Qiuping doesn’t have to stay there all the time. Originally, Bruce’s original plan was to let Rick Carlisle and Li Qiuping have a companion in Seattle. After all, he would stay for about three years. It’s too long to have a partner who has been studying with him. But who knows that the plan can’t keep up with the changes, so Li Qiuping can only stay in Seattle for a year, and he can be completely liberated when Yao Ming enters college. .

"Prince prince, how come three years have changed for one year? What happened?!" Li Qiuping asked suspiciously.

Originally, Li Qiuping didn’t like to be Yao Ming’s “nanny” role, but who made Bruce’s hands and eyes wide open? Bruce persuaded the leadership of the Basketball Control Center to take good care of Yao Ming, the future “excellent talent”. So I can only follow the leadership's arrangements, but what is going on now that three years have changed for one year? !

Li Qiuping feels that it is necessary to ask clearly, because things are changing all the time. It is not convenient for him to do other things. For example, if you want to rent a house in Seattle for one year or three years, you have to make it clear in advance. of.
