Chapter 425

Liu Mang exchanged pleasantries with Jordan, knowing that Jordan led the team to live in the Hilton Hotel because he wanted to sign a 10-year endorsement contract with the Hilton Hotel from June 2003 to June 2013, totaling up to 30 million dollars. .

So Jordan started to generate some income for the Hilton Hotel this season. The Wizards have to play 41 away games, and they have to stay in a hotel. It is different, so they choose to live in the Hilton Hotel.

As for why Jordan chooses where the Wizards live, because the Wizards do not have a general manager now. Before Jordan himself came back to play, he was the small owner and general manager of the Wizards. After the head coach won the championship, the league does not know how many championship rings should be issued, and the players are prohibited from concurrently serving as management positions. The head coach is also one of the management positions.

At the same time, Bill Russell also cut off the financial resources of Dave Debusschere, who was also a superstar at the time. With extra salary.

But to be honest, it is estimated that the fact that De Buschell has an extra salary is the reason why players were completely prohibited from serving as head coaches after the salary cap was established.

Why did Jordan's hotel endorsement only start in June 2003?

Obviously, not all cities with NBA teams have Hilton hotels. After the endorsement, Jordan can only stay in the free hotel provided by the Hilton Hotel Group for such public activities, just like Yao Ming who likes to eat McDonald's because he endorsed KFC, so he can only be called His wife, Ye Li, secretly went to buy McDonald's.

Seeing that Jordan can still sign an endorsement contract that can earn $3 million a year until the age of 50 after he retires, Liu Mang is so envious!

This kind of endorsement is really getting money lying down!

People are more popular than others, and only Jordan can come to him with countless endorsements after retiring.

Seeing that Jordan and Liu Mang had made an appointment for lunch, members of Jordan's management team and the management of the Hilton Hotel left knowingly, leaving behind Liu Mang, Jordan, Paris Hilton, and Ivanka .

Liu Mang was a little surprised that Hilton and Ivanka were also going to have lunch together, but Jordan seemed to have arranged it like this from the beginning, and there were four seats in a French restaurant.

With Jordan's status, when he goes out to eat, he must bring a female companion.

The female companion for dinner does not necessarily have to have any relationship, it is just a matter of status and face.

After ordering a good dish, Liu Mang watched Jordan chatting with Ivanka and Hilton like an elder, feeling weird, Jordan is really old! If Jordan hadn't bald and shaved his head, he would probably be the same as Duncan when he retired, with his hair and beard all white!

It's the last time for the god of basketball. Liu Mang thinks about the last time he will play against Jordan, and he feels a little bit excited.

Liu Mang put this idea aside, looking at Ivanka and the young and beautiful Hilton, Ivanka is not a celebrity, but a businessman, Hilton is a real celebrity, and no matter Asians or Europeans and Americans will I feel that a very beautiful figure is very suitable for the beauty of the public.

Regarding why famous ladies are all good-looking, Liu Mang thinks it has something to do with the fact that the women their father finds are all good-looking...

The four people are in this kind of cross-legal way. Today, Ivanka is playing Liu Mang’s girlfriend, Hilton is Jordan’s girlfriend, Jordan sits next to Ivanka, Liu Mang sits next to Hilton, Liu Mang and Ivan Cards face to face.

Seeing Hilton talking again and again, taking care of the feelings of the other three people, Ivanka talked less, and Liu Mang felt that Ivanka was really different from other young ladies.

Hilton was probably indoctrinated with the idea of ​​being a socialite since she was a child, and she has a similar personality... It is not accurate to say that she is smooth, and it is not accurate to say that she is unrestrained. Of course, she is definitely not a lady, but she is well-educated and a standard socialite.

Chatting with Hilton, Liu Mang couldn't get into the conversation, so he found something to say to Ivanka: "Ivanka, why are you here, I remember you work in a hotel in Philadelphia?"

Ivanka gave Liu Mang a blank look: "What you are talking about is last year. I am now the general manager of the Hilton Hotel in Atlanta. I am in charge of the opening of the new hotel here. I have been here for half a year. Waiting for the All-Star Weekend After my job is over, I'm leaving."

"Ivanka, Ace, did you know each other before?" Hilton really can get into anything anyone else says, "Ace, don't be fooled by this woman's job, her family has more money than mine, she Father is the real real estate magnate!"

There was no embarrassment in Ivanka being "debunked", and she said lightly: "Ace knew it a long time ago, and he recognized who I was the first time we met."

"Yes," Liu Mang said in order to avoid embarrassment, "I used to be a fan of Ivanka's photo album."

"Oh? Ace, I also have a photobook, it's absolutely beautiful," Hilton teased, "I'll give you a complete set of Ace later! It's much hotter than the photobook of this fake innocent woman!"

Liu Mang was really embarrassed! Hilton is too unrestrained!

At this time, Ivanka helped Liu Mang out of the siege: "Paris, forget about your photobook..."

Liu Mang was very grateful to Ivanka when he heard this. He is a Chinese after all, and the culture he has accepted since childhood is different from that of Americans, and he is not as unrestrained as Americans.

But... what Ivanka said next made Liu Mang want to vomit blood: "Ace likes women with big breasts, yours are too small."

"..."

"..."

Liu Mang looked at Hilton's chest, Hilton also looked down at himself, and then both of them looked at Ivanka's impressive bust...

Liu Mang thinks that Hilton is already big enough. Compared with Ivanka, I can only describe it as small. Ivanka is much taller than Hilton, and also much bigger...

"Ivanka! I want to break up with you! I'm so young." Hilton said angrily.

"I'm telling the truth," Ivanka raised her chin towards Liu Mang, "I understand that your eyes are not good. If you don't believe me, you can ask Ace."

Hilton looked at Liu Mang with vicious eyes. Obviously, compared with Ivanka, who will be equivalent to the president of the United States in the future, Hilton, although the city government is already very good, otherwise he would not become the future owner of the Hilton Hotel Group, but with Ivanka is far behind in comparison, being played by Ivanka in the applause, obviously irritated.

Of course, it's hard to say whether it was really played by Ivanka in the applause, or it was intentional. It's hard to say about this kind of people who grew up fighting in big families and became the boss of the family.

Liu Mang was so desperate, Ivanka glanced at him indifferently, Hilton was vicious and lost the aura of a lady just now, he really wanted to cry, didn't he just feel bored and asked Ivanka casually, why did the scene change Is it like this?

Liu Mang really wanted to question Mr. Qiao, why are you looking for a female companion, why are you looking for these two terrifying big demon kings!

Jordan was quietly watching the interesting stories of the three young people in their 20s. He couldn't help but sigh that time is not forgiving, and it is better to be young! Years are like a butcher's knife, bananas are no longer useful...

...

...

Finally, the lunch was over. Women are strange creatures. Just now, they seemed to be breaking up with each other. After dinner, Ivanka and Hilton, like good girlfriends, brought Jordan and Liu Mang to a golf course with a VIP system in Atlanta. , made an appointment in advance, and they are the only ones who will be received by the golf course today.

This kind of gentleman's sport, Liu Mang didn't even know how to swing, so he was so embarrassed, he imitated Jordan's swing in a completely different way, which caused Hilton to burst into laughter.

On the contrary, Ivanka is really like a female manager who treats customers well, still so serious.

Jordan hit a few strokes, played averagely, and had good posture, but just like he played baseball, it was not a sport he was good at after all.

It seemed that the time was almost up, Jordan came to Liu Mang who was very helpless about golf and said, "Ace, I have received a notice from your management, you want to give me a speech tomorrow?"

"Yes," Liu Mang said sternly, "Maybe you are not my favorite basketball player, but in my heart, not just basketball, you are the most admired player in the entire history of sports."

"Che, you are so straightforward. Your idol is Ma Long? The guy who can't even win the championship!" Jordan was very dissatisfied with Liu Mang's words, but he liked Liu Mang's straightforward way of speaking.

Liu Mang was a little sweaty. People seemed to regard him as a Malone fan, and it was all because of the mission last season.

Liu Mang was noncommittal to Jordan's words. If he wasn't a Malone fan, Jordan's big mouth would definitely spread everywhere. Liu Mang is still very grateful to Shuangsha, and he didn't want to ruin the relationship because of it, and it's okay to be a Malone fan! Speaking of Malone fans, they are really a minority, and I don’t know what the current social atmosphere means. If you like a niche idol, people will talk about it and make you feel different.

After Jordan complained dissatisfiedly, he also became serious: "Ace, tomorrow's game, I hope you play hard and play well, don't give me face just because it is the last time I come to Atlanta to play, then you won't be in this life. Want to learn any technique from me!"

Liu Mang was stunned, it seemed that this was the real reason why Jordan came to him for dinner today! Not meeting famous ladies, playing golf or something.

Liu Mang felt the arrogance of a strong man when he heard Jordan's words!

This is the same as when James slapped the floor on the All-Star Weekend during Kobe's retirement season and wanted to fight Kobe one-on-one. Liu Mang also felt that way!

"Cut," Liu Mang also replied cut, and then said: "Michael, you think too much! Let water on you? No, no, no! I want to avenge my first fight with you here , so that you lose confidence in basketball!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Mang heard a familiar "Ding..."
