Chapter 77 Baseball Game

Outside Zhangjiacheng, there is the Martyrs Cemetery.

Six people carried a coffin covered with the flag of the Chinese American Company and walked slowly into the Martyrs' Cemetery. Behind them was a band playing suona and bagpipes. The band was composed of Chinese and white people, forming a combination of Chinese and Western funeral procession.

Dragon Warrior commando Li Xiaoqi unfortunately died in this anti-terrorism military operation, and the military department of the Meihua Company held a farewell ceremony for him.

Several people worked together to place Li Xiaoqi's coffin into the grave that had been dug in advance. An old man in a Taoist robe and a priest stood in front of the tombstone and began to read the eulogy.

"Meihua Company has lost a brave soldier, and we have lost a good brother. Today we are here to express our condolences (may he rest in peace in heaven, Amen)!"

After the ceremony, a team of soldiers fired guns into the air, and the six Dragon Warrior commandos who carried the coffin began to fill the soil back with shovels, and sprinkled a handful of yellow soil on the flag on the coffin lid.

In Far East China, a salesman from the Detroit Aircraft Import and Export Company met Chiang Ching-tou through the American Embassy and showed him the L33 fighter jet, saying that it was the most advanced fighter jet in the world and that it was cheap. If more than 20 aircraft were purchased, a 9% discount on the original price could be given.

After bribing the bald man's men, Lockheed finally got the order. Finance Minister Song Wen was very happy with the kickback and paid the money readily.

Eventually, more than 33 L100 aircraft were produced, most of which were sold to the Meihua Company and Jiang Guangtou Zhengfu, and then production was discontinued. Because Lockheed Corporation had developed an all-metal aircraft, the L33 was naturally eliminated.

Phoenix Stadium Baseball Field, Los Angeles, USA.

Today is the home game between the Los Angeles Phoenix Baseball Team and the St. Louis Cardinals. After Zhang Feng founded the Phoenix Sports Club last year, the first team he formed was a baseball team. He directly spent money to acquire a major league team, then moved it to Los Angeles and renamed it the Los Angeles Phoenix.

Most of the people in the stands were wearing black T-shirts with a golden phoenix pattern with its wings spread on the chest. This piece of clothing was designed by Zhang Feng himself and is being sold as team peripherals to help make some money.

"I heard that the owner of Phoenix team is also the owner of Shennong Pharmaceutical Company." A supporter of Phoenix team showed off the news to his friend next to him.

"Really? No wonder there are the logos of Shennong Pharmaceutical and KFC on the Phoenix team's uniforms. I also heard that the Phoenix team spent a lot of money to buy another major league team and changed its name. Damn capitalists, they are so rich, but they don't even give us a raise." said my friend with a jealous look on his face.

"Yes, these companies are all owned by Mr. Monkey, and they all belong to a company called Phoenix Group. Although he is rich, he earned it through hard work. If you want to be rich, you should study hard and work hard instead of complaining here. Mr. Monkey is very good. Compared with other companies, his company's treatment is already very good, and he never deducts workers' wages. He is a conscientious capitalist. My dream is to work in Phoenix Group."

After hearing what his friend said, he immediately retorted.

"The hot-selling products of Durex and Sophie sanitary napkins recently, as well as the Paramount movies we often watch, are all his. I heard that he has several mistresses and more than ten sons. He is really immoral. I will never buy his company's products again." His friend continued to rant. "Rich people are like this. Mr. Monchi just made the same mistake that every man would make. If you are rich, you will be even more immoral than him. How many mistresses and sons he has is his ability. If you want to be like this, you should work hard and think about how to make money. His company's products are good, so you should buy them."

When rich people make mistakes, naturally there will be people who will find excuses for them regardless of the reward. Fortunately, Zhang Feng did succeed through his own efforts and deserves his protection, although a little bit of it is due to the memory plug-in of his previous life and the halo of the protagonist given by the author.

Zhang Feng has a lot of fans and supporters because of his wealth. Of course, Internet trolls are also indispensable. He has planned to set up a family foundation to please the American people and to raise some Internet trolls privately to build a good reputation for his family.

On the field, it was the Los Angeles Phoenix team's attack time. After the batter successfully hit the ball, he immediately ran to first base.

"Come on! Come on!" Fans in the stands who support the Phoenix team shouted their support
The batter ran hard, dodged the defender's attacks, and finally reached first base safely, scoring a point.

"Oh" another cheer.

The batter continued running toward second base without stopping.

"Phoenix! Phoenix!" As the batter approached second base, the crowd's cheers grew louder and louder, and the scene became lively.

In the end, the Los Angeles Phoenix lost the game with a 3-point deficit, which was a pity. There were two main reasons for this. The first was that the team Zhang Feng bought had originally been below average in the league, otherwise no one would sell it to them if they were willing to spend more money. Also, this behavior was not in line with his low-key personality.

Another reason is that the team has only been in the new home court for a short time, and all aspects need to adapt and run in. However, Zhang Feng believes that with the blessing of money, sooner or later, satisfactory results will be achieved.

Zhang Feng is also considering selecting a few Chinese from Madagascar to join his team in a few years, but the details will depend on how the physical fitness improvement plan for the Chinese there goes.

Historically, it was not until 1998 that Panamanian Chinese baseball player Chen Yongcai officially pitched in the major leagues. He was the first Chinese pitcher to play in the major leagues.

After two years, Madagascar's beef and dairy cattle farming has begun to take shape. If immigrants aged 5 to 10 can reach the physical fitness of American baseball players through this program within 6 years, Zhang Feng will select a few with athletic talent to join the youth training team first.

Zhang Feng believed that around 1940, he would be able to basically completely control Madagascar in his own hands. At that time, these Chinese would join the Phoenix Team as Chinese in Madagascar, and through various subsequent military operations, they would show a different look to the world.
