The glory of the basketball gods

Chapter 175 Getting to know members of the Kardashian family, I feel dizzy ([-]-word chapter, two more)
As Yuan Man pushed the door open, everyone already at the banquet turned their attention to Yuan Man.

Today Yuan Man's outfit is definitely at the level of a fashionista, so even though facing the eyes of so many strangers, Yuan Man is not guilty at all.

Holding his head high and chest out, showing the confidence of a Chinese, Yuan Man walked slowly towards the center of the banquet.

At this time, a handsome young man came to Yuan Man, stretched out his hand, and said, "Hi, Yuan, I'm Robb Kardashian."

Yuan Man reached out his hand to shake hands politely with the other party, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Why, the Kardashian family is not all women. And, how did he know me?"

After shaking hands, Robb extended his hand to greet them, and a waiter immediately appeared next to the two of them. Robb took out two glasses of champagne from the waiter's tray, one for each.

"Chase." Robb smiled and clinked glasses with Yuan Man.

"." Yuan Man was depressed, thinking that even if he didn't come to hook up with the Kardashian sisters, he didn't come to date a man from the Kardashian family either!

Fortunately, after completing the previous part of the etiquette, Robb immediately explained to Yuan Man that he was his basketball fan and had been following Yuan Man's games in the NBA.

It turned out to be the case, and Yuan Man breathed a sigh of relief. After all, members of the Kardashian family didn't follow the rules. Who knew if this Robb Kardashian would like men.

But after listening to Robb's words, it turns out that the other party is his basketball fan, so Yuan Man is 100% relieved.

"Look, who's here. Sprite's new spokesperson." A beautiful and seductive female voice came from behind Yuan Man.

Yuan Man turned around and saw that the visitor was none other than Kim Kardashian, a well-known socialite throughout the United States, and a strong man was accompanying her.
Wait, isn't this Chris Humphries!Yuan Man didn't expect to meet other NBA players here, and Yuan Man couldn't help but feel kind.

But it seems that Humphreys doesn't have a good impression of Yuan Manke.

Seeing Kim Kardashian approaching Yuan Man and leaning forward for a kiss, Yuan Man could not help but close his eyes.

"Not good, I'm a little dizzy." I didn't expect that I, who had already played countless basketballs on the court, would faint in reality.

Kardashian showed a slight smile, and didn't care that Yuan Man's eyes were focused on a certain part of her body just now, instead she held out her great weapon with all her strength.

Today, Kardashian is wearing a white one-piece evening dress, but the chest position is vacuum, revealing a very beautiful career line. The whole person looks, from top to bottom, like a ceramic bottle with a wide mouth, a wide bottom, and a thin body Hallows.

"Welcome to our Kardashian family gathering, Yuan, my brother Robb is a loyal fan of yours, and my sister Khloe Kardashian also admires you very much. From now on, when we are together, we need to move around more." Jin- Kardashian seemed to behave elegantly. If she hadn't known Jin's style beforehand, Yuan Man would have to admit that she was indeed very attractive.

"By the way, Yuan, the theme of our banquet today is project investment. There will be many good projects publicly soliciting financing from us today. They are all seed rounds or angel rounds. If you are interested, you can actively participate." Robb chatted excitedly with Yuan Man and said, "For this financing, 10% of the additional financing will be used for charity."

Therefore, this banquet is actually a gathering of the Kardashian family as an intermediary bridge. On one side are upstarts or potential stars in the fashion technology industry, and on the other side are rich and powerful dignitaries. As for Yuan Man himself, it may be because Robb is himself fans, and has a certain influence in the Chinese market, so that's why I was called here.

According to Robb, if a project needs to raise $100 million, there will be an additional $10 for charity, all of which will be borne by investors. The reason for the 10% extra is because Kardashian The family undertook the integration of this project, so the money was actually handed over to the Kardashian family. To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to an intermediary fee, but the Kardashian family publicizes the money. philanthropy under the umbrella of his own family.

Yuan Man couldn't help admiring these brightly dressed members of the Kardashian family. During this banquet, these people not only made money but also gained fame. .

"I'm going to greet other guests, please talk slowly." Kim Kardashian smiled and gave Yuan Man a look with a look that was so fascinating, she went away shaking her plump buttocks, and Humphries followed closely behind. .

"That wretch, I really don't know what my sister likes about him." Robb stared at Humphries and said angrily.

"Why, Chris and your sister are together?" Yuan Man was quite shocked when he heard about it. After all, Humphries is not a star in the NBA, let alone handsome. I don't understand why Kim Kardashian would like to be with him.

"Don't mention this guy, I feel disgusted every time I see him." Robb still had a dissatisfied expression.

"Come on, let me introduce you to my family members. I hope we can become friends in the future." Robb's attitude towards Yuan Man is full of sincerity. Robb just turned 20 this year, the same age as Yuan Man. Therefore, it is very normal for Robb to want to make friends with Yuan Man.

Following Robb to a place surrounded by people, Robb broke into the encirclement, greeted him, and attracted the attention of everyone who was chatting.

Seeing the formation in front of him, Yuan Man couldn't help feeling a little nervous. The people in front of him were all very delicately dressed women, who could be described as gorgeous and eye-catching, and everyone had a strong aura. I have to feel that a wealthy family is a wealthy family. Although there are many grievances and disputes between the wealthy families in the United States, the temperament of these people cannot be concealed and hidden at all.

"Let me introduce you. This is Yuan Man, a Chinese. He is now playing in the NBA. Today is the special guest of the banquet. He is here to attend our banquet." Robb introduced Yuan Man to everyone.

"Oh, so you are Yuan Man. Robb likes you very much, and he also likes playing basketball." A kind-hearted but shrewd female elder said with a smile.

"That's right, haha." Yuan Man said haha.

Then, Robb introduced the members of his family to Yuan Man.

Except for Kim Kardashian whom I just met, the rest of the staff are here.

Kris Jenner, the hostess of the Kardashian family, who wore a V-neck open-chested dress and exposed most of her balls, and her eldest daughter, Kourtney Kardashian, looked very energetic in a black suit , the third daughter Khloe Kardashian in a low-cut brown tight dress, only 15 years old but with a bumpy figure, Kendall Jenner in a purple lace dress, and the youngest is also the most tightly wrapped and budding flower Kylie Jenner.

The former head of the Kardashian family, Robert Kardashian, the father of the three Kardashian sisters, died of cancer in 2003. Kris Jenner is currently in charge of the family's operations. Although they have remarried, the relationship between Chris and the three Kardashian sisters is still very good.

But judging from the introduction of the personnel, except for Robb Kardashian, the remaining members of the Kardashian family are all women. Sure enough, as Yuan Man thought before, this family is almost completely a female society.

After getting to know the members of the Kardashian family one by one, the lights at the scene suddenly dimmed.

"The theme of this banquet is about to begin!" Robb leaned into Yuan Man's ear excitedly.

"Sorry, Yuan, this is my brother's first time hosting a banquet, so he was a little excited and lost his composure." Kohler Kardashian appeared beside Yuan Man at some point.

Yuan Man glanced at Kohler, feeling dizzy again, but the other party suddenly came over and said to Yuan Man in a low voice: "You are so handsome in your clothes today, very masculine."

This frightened Yuan Man, why was she still a polite lady just a second ago, but she seemed to be a different person when the lights were dimmed!

At this time, Robb helped Yuan Man out of the siege, and said to Kohler, "Kohler, Yuan is my guest, don't scare him, he is different from your male friends."

Khloe Kardashian smiled and focused on taking center stage at the banquet event.

"Be careful, Yuan, my third sister is much better than my second sister."

"." Yuan Man was speechless.

In the center of the banquet event hall was a stage more than one meter high, on which a host in black clothes was hard at work explaining the theme of the banquet event to everyone, just like what Robb had introduced to Yuan Man before, Immediately, the founders of several projects will come to the stage to meet with you, introduce their projects, and strive to obtain investment in today's scene.

The influence of the Kardashian family was fully demonstrated at this moment. The founders continued to introduce their projects on stage, and then guests on the scene raised their hands to express their willingness to invest.

The progress of the banquet was very smooth, and it was almost a cycle of processes: the host introduced the project, the founder gave a speech on the stage, the guests raised their hands to invest, the two parties hugged and had a drink, and the next project was prepared.

However, the activities that had been going on in an orderly manner were interrupted after a person came to power.

This is a man with black slightly curly hair, bushy eyebrows and a beard. He looks a bit scruffy, but his eyes are piercing.

After the host introduced the project's name as "Instagram," the founder, Kevin Systrom, took the stage.

According to the host, this guy named Systrom graduated from Stanford University and just resigned from Google two months ago to start a start-up company, and this project called "Instagram" is the first project of the start-up company.

Amid the enthusiastic applause at the scene, Systrom, who took the microphone on stage, seemed very nervous.

"My name is Kevin, and I'm Kevin Systrom. I'm the founder of Instagram, Inc."

Yuan Man didn't expect that this guy stuttered completely when he came to the stage. It seems that this guy was too nervous.

Following Systrom's speech, perhaps because he was not confident in his own performance, Systrom's voice on the stage became smaller and smaller, so that everyone couldn't hear what Systrom was saying. .

Yuan Man only remembered one point in the whole lecture, that is, Systrom said that he was very confident in this project. The rest of the content was not because Yuan Man didn't listen carefully, but because he didn't understand what the other party was saying. Professional jargon, mixed in Systrom's stuttering words, made it hard to understand.

The presentation ended with pattering applause. As Yuan Man expected, this was the first time after the project presentation, there was not a single person who raised his hand to invest.

"I just want $100 million." Systrom seemed to muster up the courage, picked up the microphone and spoke again.

"Poor guy, he can't even speak clearly. I'm afraid no one will invest in his project." Robb who was standing beside Yuan Man couldn't help but shook his head and said in a tone full of regret.

"I'll do it." Yuan Man raised his hand.

On one side, Robb looked at Yuan Man who raised his hand with incredulous eyes.

In an instant, Robb's eyes were full of emotion, "Dude, you really don't have to do this for me."

It turned out that Robb thought that the reason why Yuan Man raised his hand to invest was because he was hosting this banquet for the first time. When encountering such a situation, Yuan Man took the initiative to stand up and raise his hand to invest in order to avoid embarrassment at the scene, so that the process can continue Proceed smoothly.

However, Robb seems to be thinking too much. There are two main reasons why Yuan Man is willing to invest in Systrom. The first is that Systrom graduated from Stanford University and worked at Google before starting his business, which shows that this guy's IQ is completely beyond The second point is Systrom's piercing eyes, which are the eyes that can only be possessed by those who have absolute confidence in their own projects.

Yuan Man remembered that when he was in China, Ma Yun was looking for investment and was mistaken for a liar. There are also many examples of technical founders who did not get investment because of poor communication.While Systrom may not be an excellent company spokesperson, his technology may become a core asset for the company!

"Robb, we are friends." Yuan Man also learned to be smart, and continued to follow Robb's meaning. He not only made an investment, but also won a friendship.

These words strengthened Luo Bai's inner thoughts, and he couldn't help feeling a little more fond of Yuan Man in his heart.

"Oh, it's great that someone raised their hand to indicate that they want to invest in this project. Let's applaud the founders and investors of this project!" The host wiped his sweat, thinking that the progress of the banquet could finally go down again. advanced.

Yuan Man and Systrom had a drink together on the stage, and many people in the audience looked at the investors with Asian faces and some sloppy founders on the stage with amused expressions.

Although many people felt amused in their hearts, Robb's heart was full of gratitude.
