He became a very close friend with the first Chinese player to make it to the NBA, Wang Zhizhi. That led Simon to become a certified NBA player agent and he represented Wang for a short period before they joined with a bigger agency.
However, after he read Rich Dad Poor Dad, Simon discovered he was going down the wrong life path and realized he needed to start his own business.
