On January 19, the Chinese men's basketball team announced the training list for the sixth window of the 2023 Men's Basketball World Cup Asian Zone Qualifiers, a total of 18 players were selected, in addition to Guo Allen, Zhao Jiwei, Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin and other common players selected, there are also some unfamiliar faces selected, the intention is self-evident! In addition, the training of the Chinese men's basketball team will be held in Shanghai Competitive Sports Training Management Center from February 1 to 19 for 19 days. It is worth mentioning that this training was personally led by Yao Ming, with Guo Zhenming as the deputy leader.
For Yao Ming, who has just been re-elected as president of the Chinese Basketball Association, the men's basketball World Cup Asian Zone Qualifiers are particularly important! It is understood that in order to focus all his energy on the Chinese men's basketball team, Yao Ming resolutely resigned from the position of chairman of Deep Blue Sports Co., Ltd., and Xu Jicheng, vice chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, took over. In this regard, some media believe that Yao Ming has made a desperate bet and is ready for a backwater battle. According to the regulations of the Chinese Basketball Association, each president of the basketball association can serve at most two consecutive terms, and Yao Ming is already in the second term.
In fact, although Yao Ming resigned as the chairman of Deep Blue Sports Co., Ltd., he is still the chairman and shareholder of many enterprises and companies! Careful fans found that Yao Ming has 20 companies and companies associated with his name, of which 14 are in a state of continuity, including Beijing Singbar Technology Co., Ltd. and China Basketball Union Sports Beijing Co., Ltd. It is understood that Yao Ming holds positions in 6 of the companies, holds shares in 12 companies, and its business scope covers various fields such as sports, financial services, and investment.
After Yao Ming's "business empire" was exposed, it triggered a fierce discussion among domestic fans! Some fans believe that Yao Ming is hidden deep and hidden enough, indicating that he is the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, and behind it are also the bosses and shareholders of many enterprises and companies. In fact, Yao Ming's assets are much more than that, and he also opened "Yao Restaurant" in the United States during his NBA service, and his business was extremely hot. Nowadays, although the business of "Yao Restaurant" is not as good as before, it also has a lot of income every year.
In addition, Yao Ming bought a wine estate in Pagu, California, for $7 million, and also founded a wine brand under his own name! More than 10 years later, Yao Ming's wine brand has achieved profitability, with a single bottle selling at a sky-high price of 150,000 yuan. In addition, the price of land on the vineyard has also risen, reaching $20 million. In this way, Yao Ming's business layout is no worse than Li Tie, and even more than that. But then again, how can Li Tie be compared with Yao Ming?
