Jordan: "The first billion-dollar contract on our team must be yours."

Zhang Yang: "Ah? Thank you."

Jordan: "What kind of response is that? No surprise, no emotion?"

Jordan: "No, it's our championship that caused the chain reaction. Yao and you are actually in competition; he needs to maintain his commercial value, and must have the ability to compete for a championship, otherwise his commercial value will surely plummet."
