Chapter 462: Investing 2 Billion in Charity

The reason Wade Dong went to play baseball in the east was mainly because, on the day after his wedding, Irving and Curry came to find him to hang out, and on a whim, they played a game of 'Wade Dong as an old man'.

This short video has now been edited and released, which was just in time to give Wade Dong's third generation a GG, the basketball shoes he wore that afternoon.

As for the fans' anticipation of the three grandpas' trip to Huaxia and their dominance on various baseball fields... Wade Dong did want to fulfill the fans' wishes, but he didn't have that much time.

After his wedding, Wade Dong's daily routine became very simple, following a three-point line.

In the morning, he would leave home, go to the Wade Group headquarters to work, and in the evening, he would get off work and go to his parents' house with Li Jiajia to have dinner. After dinner, he would drive home with Li Jiajia.

The Wei Hua couple couldn't bear to leave their old neighbors and friends, and although Wade Dong had bought them a villa in Yanjing, they didn't move there... As for the Li Zhen couple, they also bought a second-hand house in the same neighborhood as Wei Hua, and when they weren't busy, the two families would get together to play mahjong, enjoying the happy life of retirement in advance.

At around 10 p.m., just as Wade Dong was about to go to sleep, he was summoned by Guo Zifeng with three consecutive calls to go out for a barbecue.

Wade Dong and Li Jiajia drove around, and after a long and winding journey, they finally found the courtyard in the suburbs of Yanjing that Guo Zifeng had mentioned.

The gate was open, and several supercars were parked in the courtyard.

"This place is really hard to find," Wade Dong said, leading Li Jiajia over, with a hint of complaint in his tone.

"This is one of our headquarters," Guo Zifeng explained.

"Headquarters? You're just letting me know about it now, you guys are so boring..." Wade Dong replied.

"Don't listen to Zifeng's nonsense. ," Zhang Yang, who was also in the courtyard, added.

"This is also considered a headquarters, but this courtyard was just bought by Master Feng. He used to run a barbecue restaurant here," Zhang Yang explained.

Feng Yuxiu was currently grilling the barbecue.

There weren't many people in the courtyard, and before Wade Dong arrived, there were only five people there: Zhang Yang, Feng Yuxiu, Ge Qian, Guo Zifeng, and Yunqi.

Yunqi hadn't originally planned to come, but when she heard that Wade Dong was bringing Li Jiajia, she decided to tag along, perhaps out of concern that Li Jiajia, as the only girl, might find it boring to watch five old men drinking and chatting.

"Master Feng, I've been with you for a year, and I only found out today that you're also a chef," Wade Dong said.

"I only know how to barbecue, nothing else," Feng Yuxiu replied with a smile.

If the Phoenix Suns players saw this scene, they would be shocked.

Everyone knew that during the Suns' home games, the person sitting in the corner of the first row was Wade Dong's bodyguard, but this person always had a poker face, and no one had ever seen Feng Yuxiu smile.

To be honest...

When Jordan challenged Wade Dong to a bet, and the world boxing champion's provocation, Wade Dong witnessed how fierce Feng Yuxiu was! After seeing Feng Yuxiu smile, Wade Dong felt that he was better off not smiling, as his smile made him lose his killer aura.

Guo Zifeng raised his glass, "The first toast is to Dong Ge, congratulating him in advance for signing the largest contract in NBA history. "

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Everyone took a drink, and then Zhang Yang smiled and asked, "What's this about the largest contract in NBA history? It seems like there's a story behind it."

Guo Zifeng gave a rough explanation, of course, with many artistic exaggerations and embellishments to his part of the story.

Although it wasn't exposed in the news, as soon as the 'Wade Dong Clause' came out, many industry insiders became aware of it, and Wade Dong received several phone calls that afternoon, including congratulations from LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, and Alvin Gentry.

A person who can change the league's landscape certainly deserves some personalized clauses from the league.

"This is definitely something worth celebrating. It's not about the amount of money, but the honor," Ge Qian said.

"None of us here are short of money. We're talking about ideals."

Guo Zifeng wiped the oil stains from the corner of his mouth, "I really admire Dong Ge and Yang Ge for being kings in their respective fields, unlike me, who's full of the smell of money."

"Hahaha..."

This remark also made Li Jiajia laugh.

Guo Zifeng was indeed very rich, but no one had ever considered him a nouveau riche.

This person's behavior and style might be a bit crazy, but he came from a deep family background and was a graduate of Yanjing University, a person with real knowledge and skills.

"Money is also very important. I've always had an idea, but to realize this idea, I need a large sum of money," Wade Dong said.

"What idea?"

"Tell us about it. We're the least lacking in money."

"Oh?"

Even Li Jiajia was a bit surprised, as she had never heard Wade Dong mention this before.

For Wade Dong, an idea that required a large sum of money was definitely not a small amount.

"Let's drink first~"

Wade Dong picked up his glass and took a sip before saying, "I want to build a sports university."

"Build a university?"

Guo Zifeng chimed in, "This project is feasible."

Wade Dong shook his head, "It's not a project. To be precise, it's about donating a university, not a private university, but a public one. I'll only be responsible for providing financial support for the university's development and construction, including deciding on some board members and educational management personnel."

"In other words, I'll only be responsible for providing and managing the funds, but the management authority will belong to the state."

Zhang Yang nodded, "This idea is good. It's a charitable project."

Last spring, the Yao Foundation had donated several dozen indoor basketball courts to rural primary schools, and since then, Wade Dong had been thinking about this idea.

"This is what I call vision. I really look down on some entrepreneurs who open private universities under the guise of education, but in reality, they're just seeking personal gain," Guo Zifeng said.

"Since Dong Ge has brought up this idea, it seems like it's already quite mature. Approximately how much money is needed?"

"I've estimated that it will require an investment of 2 billion."

"Investing 2 billion in charity, Dong Ge will definitely go down in history."

"Haha... I never thought about going down in history."

Wade Dong paused for a moment before saying, "Huaxia is a world power, but some sports are relatively weak. I want to use this method to cultivate professional talents in various fields, such as basketball players, soccer players, and so on. I personally think that this is a good thing for children with dreams but who are born into poverty."

"It might be a bit difficult for Dong Ge to come up with 2 billion now, right? Does he need the help of his brothers?"

"It's a bit difficult now, but if I were to withdraw 2 billion from the Wade Group's funds for charity, it wouldn't be a good thing for the group's development. However, I'm not in a hurry. It's just an idea, and I'll be able to make it happen in the next year or two."

"I look forward to that day coming sooner!"

When Wade Dong said it was a bit difficult, he was actually refusing Zhang Yang and Guo Zifeng's offer of help.

These two people could tell that this was Wade Dong's dream, and if they forcefully joined in, it would change the nature of the matter. So, for the rest of the time, they just drank, chatted, and boasted.

...

A few days later, the draft began, and the NBA's free agency market also opened.
