Li Rui likes to help others the most, especially those who are useful.

Douglas Stamp is Frank's chief of staff and is also working for Claire. He is the person the couple trusts the most.

In the future, as the couple rises step by step, Stamp's status will not be low. If you can do such a person a favor, there will definitely be great returns in the future.

Moreover, Stamp always looks expressionless, giving people a feeling of being cold and unfamiliar. Li Rui is also very interested in what he can ask for help.

"You said." Li Rui said.

"I heard you have a close relationship with the Kushner family?"

Li Rui narrowed his eyes.

His relationship with Jared and his wife is not a secret, and if you are interested, you will definitely know one or two.

Although the Kushner family and politics are not yet on the side, who made them become in-laws with Lao Tang? Lao Tang announced his participation in the presidential election last year, and he jumped and made many troubles, which made the donkey party feel a little uncomfortable.

The donkey party’s attitude towards Lao Tang is like seeing a cockroach showing off his might in the kitchen. If you don’t hit it, it will be too annoying. But it is not easy to kill a cockroach to death, and it may make the kitchen mess.

What makes the donkey party most uncomfortable is that sometimes Lao Tang’s remarks are like mentally retarded. If he doesn’t respond, he seems guilty. If he responds, he seems to be pulling his IQ to the same level as Lao Tang.

If you encounter this kind of opponent like a dog skin plaster, it will be a headache for anyone, and Frank will definitely be no exception.

Fortunately, after receiving Li Rui's reminder last year, Lao Tang stopped and not only announced his withdrawal from the presidential election, but also kept silent and stopped interfering in the election affairs of the Party, which finally made the donkey party feel relieved.

Now Stamp asks Li Rui for help, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he mentions the Kushner family. Li Rui's first reaction is that it is related to Lao Tang.

Li Rui said lightly: "It's not that close. He just acquired a property on the Kushner family on Fifth Avenue in New York and helped them survive a financial crisis. We are more about commercial connections, so please tell Frank not to get me wrong."

A smile appeared on Stamp's face, which rarely expressed expressions, and he whispered: "You don't need to explain so much. Frank won't care about this little thing. Even if you are a Chinese, there are not a few people who bet on both sides, let alone you are a Chinese. We can all understand."

Li Rui spread his hands and said, "If you understand this way, you can."

Stamp said: "The New York Observer, controlled by the Kushner family, published an article some time ago, which criticized Frank and questioned Frank's use of his connections and influence to raise funds for Claire's water purification program. The couple was very angry. If possible, I hope to remove this report from their official website through your relationship with the Kushner family."

Li Rui thought to himself, aren’t you Chinese people the most proclaiming freedom of speech? Why can’t you stand it if you’re criticized for a few words? Oh, this must be a weakness?

Li Rui thought for a while and said, "I'll call Jared now."

Stamp nodded and said, "Thank you so much."

The matter is very simple. After all, it is a privately controlled newspaper. Any reports on them are all done by Jared. Moreover, Jared actually has no political tendency. No matter whether he is a donkey party or a party, as long as he can make money, he is a good party.

When he heard that Li Rui had done it so quickly, Stamp was very happy: "Li, I owe you a favor!"

Li Rui smiled and said, "You're welcome, we will have many opportunities to help each other in the future."

Stamp said meaningfully: "I like this sentence from you."

After helping Stamp, Li Rui came to several basketball players.

Recently, Lin Shuhao's ankle injury was injured. Under Li Rui's instructions, he was strictly controlled on playing time. His performance dropped slightly. The Houston Rockets' record also fluctuated and had just suffered a three-game losing streak.

However, under the care of Li Rui, Lin Shuhao finally avoided the injury that caused his state to decline sharply in his previous life, and the trend that was triggered was still stirring up in the league.

Despite his average record, Houston's home game is still full, and many people, especially Xia Yi, will buy tickets to support Lin Shuhao. His jersey sales are still among the top three of all NBA players. It seems that Lin's crazy performance lasts longer than his previous life.

At Li Rui's request, the team recently made a trade, sending away several substitutes in exchange for one first-round and two second-round draft picks.

These transactions shocked the media and questioned whether the team manager Hao Ming lacked experience, otherwise why would he make such a robbed transaction?

Not only the media doesn't understand, but even Cole can't understand it. When he saw Li Rui, he asked: "Hao Ming said that the Rockets' recent deals are your approval. I want to know why you traded with important substitutes, only for one first round and two second rounds, which is equivalent to completely giving up hope for the playoffs."

Li Rui smiled and said, "Or do you think the Rockets can enter the playoffs?"

Cole thought for a while and said, "If Lin can stay healthy, there is still some hope."

Li Rui looked at Lin Shuhao: "How is your ankle feeling recently?"

Lin Shuhao shook his head and said, "It's not ideal, it often makes me feel sore, which has affected my changing direction breakthrough on the court."

Li Rui said: "Steve, you have also heard that Lin is not in a good situation. The overall strength of the team is not as good as the playoffs. I just took over the team this season and needed a transition period, and then rebuild the team's lineup according to my ideas. For a team like us who is in rebuilding, draft picks are far more important than a few substitutes."

Cole said: "Maybe what you said makes sense. In this year's draft, Kentucky talent Anthony Davis and Markle Kidd Gilchrist, as well as Bradley Bill of the University of Florida and Andre Drummond of Conneiger will all participate in the draft. If you can pick one of them, you can rebuild the Rockets as the core of the team."

Li Rui said: "Then are you interested in coaching the Rockets?"

Cole thought for a while, but shook his head and said, "I don't understand why you always pay attention to someone like me who has no coaching experience. I don't think I'm ready yet."

"Are you not ready? Or do you think the Rockets' lineup is not good enough?" Li Rui asked, "Maybe you will change your mind after the draft. The door to my office is always open to you!"

The Rockets now have four first-round picks and two second-round picks, and it seems that they can do a big game.

Drafts require luck. So many young people with great talent, who knows which one can grow into a superstar in the emperor?
