shooting guard era

Chapter 139 168. Fake Smile
After saying thank you to Uncle Security, Ye Han entered Prias Villa, drove slowly, and found that it was bigger than imagined. Walking on the standard three-lane road, looking at the surrounding scenery, Ye Han really had a It's like planting on the highway to a sparsely populated place, and the scenery is very beautiful. There are all kinds of trees everywhere, and some of them are obviously not east coast plants.

For a moment, Ye Han thought he was lost again... If there were no patrol cars that occasionally passed by and wooden fences that surrounded certain areas.

There are lawns outside the road here, and most places are not surrounded by wooden fences. The surrounding area is probably someone else’s home. The villa can be vaguely seen from a distance, and it seems that it is the area that was blocked. The master of the area.

Finally, after four or five minutes of driving in the direction indicated by the security uncle, Ye Han stopped in front of a gate with Robert Johnson written on it.

Ye Han took out his mobile phone and dialed the team owner Robert Johnson, and the call was quickly connected.

"Oh, Ace, you are really slow to come, that old guy Michael has already started to persuade us to start playing cards, come in quickly... NO, damn Michael, why are you so lucky..." Robert Johnson said Before I finished speaking, it seemed as if I had thrown away my mobile phone. Probably Jordan had another good hand. It is said that this guy's hobby is the World Series of Poker.

Fortunately, although the boss was busy with gambling, he didn't forget to open the door, and Ye Han was able to enter the yard smoothly.

After entering the yard, there is a large garden, even with fruit trees, and there is a small building on the side of the road from time to time, but it is definitely not the residence of Robert Johnson’s family, because there is a small lake 500 meters ahead that is visible to the naked eye. There is an exaggeratedly large villa in the back. The villa on the side of the road is probably where servants, bodyguards and other people live.

"Capitalism is really rotten..." Ye Han thought angrily, "I will buy a house and yard of this size when I have money, but it's better to talk about Australia. How big do you want to buy a house in New Zealand? You can buy as many as you want, and it’s still cheap, but the ultraviolet rays over there are too strong..."

Although Ye Han doesn't really like these rich people, he doesn't dislike them either. They have so much money and they should enjoy that kind of life.

And I heard that Robert Johnson, the first black owner in NBA history, was very poor when he was young, and he was still working as a car wash at the age of 30. Later, by chance, he, who was interested in the TV industry, got the opportunity to cooperate with a small rich second generation to get 50. Wan invested, and started the business with a loan of [-] US dollars to invest in shares. With very good ideas, he gained a firm foothold in the era when new TV stations and mushrooms sprung up.

Racial issues were severe in that era. Robert Johnson was the first to create a television station specifically for blacks, and most of the content was aimed at blacks.

Now Robert Johnson's main industry is Charlotte's local light industry and agricultural by-products. Due to Time Warner, ESPN, ABC and other TV stations wantonly annexing other TV stations, he once owned more than 20 TV stations with black audiences. Warner bought it.

After thinking about it, Ye Han arrived at the lake. There were already Filipino servants waiting there. He got out of the car and gave the key to one of the servants, then followed the other servant into the villa.

This is a standard Western European-style villa. There is a small lake in front of it. Behind the small lake is a huge conjoined villa. There is a clock tower in the center behind the villa. The villa surrounds the clock tower in the middle like stars.

Villas, small lakes, gardens, lawns...

If Ye Han complained about Duncan's villa before, if this boring-sexy man was really willing to pay, he would no longer be able to comment on this huge villa. In short, he absolutely can't afford it now, and he probably signed him with Nike. The money for that contract is obtained in advance, and it can get about 6000 million. It is estimated that if you want to buy this villa, it is estimated that this manor, which is calculated in hectares, is not affordable for players. Even top players have to spend it if they want to buy it. With all the savings in their entire careers alone, the careers of top players are longer than those of ordinary players, but the average number of years they receive the maximum salary is only six or seven years.

Even in Charlotte, a place where housing prices are very cheap, this villa is estimated to cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Walking into the main entrance in the center of the villa, there is a huge living room. He thought to himself that the room in the middle of the relationship is directly a living room. It is very lively inside, with some hot and beautiful beauties of various skin colors walking around.

The entire Lynx team is here, as well as Jordan, some retired players, some businessmen, and more women. Various socialites have been invited over, and they are already playing. He greeted him, and some bold women even greeted him with provocative words.

Ye Han was not used to this kind of occasion, but considering the face of the team owner, he smiled and greeted the people present.

Boss Robert Johnson also put down the cards in his hand, and walked over with a few middle-aged white men with bad temperament, and Jordan.

Robert Johnson is a relatively short and chubby black man. After some pleasantries, he introduced to Ye Han, "Ace, let me introduce you. This is Erwin Downer, the head of Sports Illustrated under Time Warner , Our arena is named after them."

Time Warner, known as the world's largest media and entertainment company, uses its own very influential media to package its own representatives of artists.

"Hi, Mr. Tang Na, nice to meet you." Ye Han said with a smile.

Seeing Ye Han's gentle smile, the "little characters" such as Okafor envied him for being able to meet these business and political leaders, and it was such a formal meeting.Although Okafor was also taken by the boss to meet some bigwigs, he had never been introduced so grandly, and he was almost greeted at the door of the living room.

Who is to say that he is a hot fried chicken? The stock of the boss's company keeps rising because of Ye Han's outstanding performance.

But what Okafor and the others are most concerned about is not these. This is all expected, because Yao Ming made the owner of the Rockets double his worth several times in more than two years. upper class.

So Robert Johnson slowed down on selling the team to Jordan.

Of course, it's not that Robert Johnson repented. He just wanted to borrow a little more influence from Ye Han, and slowly sold the shares to Jordan bit by bit. Now, besides paying the players' salaries and receiving income from ticket sales and sponsorship , Other aspects are basically in charge of Jordan and Bickerstaff.

The timing of this transition coincides with Robert Johnson negotiating with Jordan to have the Bobcats' main advertising area at home for the next decade.

Speaking of which, Bickerstaff did not participate in this party. He didn't like this kind of occasion. According to media reports, he went to Orlando.

The main purpose of Robert Johnson holding this party was to win Ye Han's heart and bring him into the circle of rich people to show his importance to him.

It was Ye Han's smile that made Okafor and the others complain, it was too fake!Totally smirking.

"Oh, I didn't expect to see you, can I call you Ace? I'm your loyal fan." Erwin Donner is much smoother than Ye Han, no matter what he said is true or not Yes, it makes people feel like they are acquaintances.

"Erwin, since you like watching Ace play so much, your group should give us more sponsorship. We will give Ace a huge contract in two years, haha." Robert Johnson laughed.

Ye Han clearly felt that the boss was deliberately trying to increase his favorability, was he trying to win him over?

He joked with Erwin Downer, and continued to introduce Ye Han, "This is Congressman Wes Carlton from North Carolina."

"Hello..." Ye Han continued to greet the people introduced by Robert Johnson with his sunny smile, and remembered the identities and characteristics of these people. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. Need each other's help or help each other.

On the one hand, this gathering was a signal from the Bobcats management to Ye Han, explaining how much they valued him, and it was also a reward for the miraculous performance of the Bobcats team this year.
