The investigation was not a matter of a day or two. For the next half-month, Chen Yu took Nelson and their team, along with the media reporter Su Jun and an official from the Sports Bureau handling local coordination, and traveled to all of China's major cities.
They inspected the local sports infrastructure and the scale of development for local amateur leagues and school tournaments.
This wasn't just for basketball, but for football as well.
In this same year, the Jia A Football League was about to be officially renamed the Chinese Super League, a move that had been proposed even earlier than the reforms for basketball.
Yan Shiduo was also planning to take the commercialization route; you could say Li Yuanwei was just following the trend set by Yan Shiduo.
During this trip, Chen Yu consulted a great many people.
In recent years, Chen Yu's network of contacts had spread across every field of the sports industry.
