【Chapter 948】 Thriving (Ask for subscription!)

After the news of Xiao Feng's official entry into the Lakers caused a sensation around the world, it quickly calmed down, and there will be a lot of information in this world every day, and the news is updated too quickly.

Xiao Feng spends his days in the 'Dream Manor' as an otaku, and occasionally appears at the 'Dream Restaurant' to cook for some lucky customers, spending most of his time with his family.

Xiao Feng has not been interviewed by any media about joining the Lakers, nor has he brought his family to watch the game at Staples Arena, nor has he made any adjustments to the team, as if he is out of the way.

Over time, the media's attention naturally shifted to other places, and the noisy big news gradually calmed down.

Now in the NBA, everyone's eyes are focused on the All-Star Game held jointly in New York and New Jersey a month later, and everyone is speculating whether Kobe Bryant, who is now injured and suspended, will appear on the All-Star Weekend?

At the same time, everyone is also concerned about whether Kobe Bryant will fulfill the last year of his contract with the team, and how will he end his career?

Xiao Feng is also happy, taking care of the children and accompanying the elderly at home every day, and occasionally gives some ideas for Xiao Xiao and Lin Dubian's wedding preparations.

The wedding of the two in 'Ginkgo Village' will be held on February 5, and now there is less than half a month left, and the preparations have entered the countdown.

After January 22, the members of the Xiao family began to take Huaxia Airlines flights back to China in twos and threes, firstly to prepare for Xiao Xiao's wedding, and secondly, to prepare for the Chinese New Year and the year-end arrangements of the 'Jinghu Group'.

The people who want to do things have all gone back, Xiao Feng left a large group of people such as grandfather Xiao Duliang, grandmother Alice, eighth sister Jasmine and nephew Ye Tian in Los Angeles, and everyone is waiting to take the Airbus A380 home together!

In the past few days, Xiao Feng has received a notice from Airbus. His custom-built Airbus A380 has been conmodified, and pilot training has been completed and ready for delivery. Xiao Feng has already decided to find a time to go to Europe to receive his plane in the next few days, so that the whole family will not have to be so troublesome in the future.

…………

The direct flight from Los Angeles to Newcastle comes from a United Airlines Boeing 777 airliner, and the first class is naturally quite comfortable. Xiao Feng has been sitting in his position watching movies.

Since the delivery of the Nini, Xiao Feng has been basically insulated from civil airliners, and this is the first time he has taken an airline flight in several years.

The aunt of the flight attendant of American Airlines naturally couldn't recognize Xiao Feng, a news figure, in their eyes, the faces of the Chinese people all looked exactly the same, and they couldn't tell who was who.

As a father, Xiao Feng did not meet a beautiful flight attendant or an old man who suffered a heart attack like in online novels, and spent a long journey plainly.

This time, Airbus could have been asked to send its own custom-built plane to Los Angeles. But Xiao Feng thought that he would also go to Newcastle to watch the team's game, and Airbus wanted to hold a grand delivery ceremony in Hamburg, so Xiao Feng chose to go to Europe in person.

This time to attend the delivery ceremony, Airbus will donate 10 million euros to the 'Ginkgo Foundation', even if Xiao Feng is the richest man in China, such an appearance fee is already quite amazing.

The wife has to take care of several children at home, and everyone else has things to do, so only Xiao Feng, an idler, is out on this errand.

Consider the return trip to take the A380. This time, Xiao Feng didn't even use the 'Nini', and took a civil airline plane in a very low-key manner. It made the paparazzi who have been guarding the 'Dream Manor' never expect it.

…………

The flight landed at Newcastle Airport, and the media in England did not know about Xiao Feng's arrival, Xiao Shaoyao and Xiao Dapeng drove to the airport to pick up Xiao Feng, and everything was quiet.

In the evening of the next day, Xiao Feng and Xiaobei appeared in the No. 1 box of St. James's Park, which also caused heated discussions among the live broadcast and fans in front of the TV.

Ever since Xiao Feng moved to St. James's Park. Although he rarely watches the team's games live, he is not underestimated in the minds of the fans.

First of all, Xiao Feng was willing to spend money, and after buying the team, he paid 140 million pounds to buy powerful players, which made the team more competitive in the Premier League. Presently. The team has been eliminated in the League Cup and FA Cup, and only the league remains.

Newcastle are now sixth in the table with 11 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats with 37 points, catching the last train in Europe, although Tottenham are two points behind them, but Newcastle fans still see hope of returning to the European competition.

After Christmas, the team won three in a row and are now just three points clear of fourth-placed Manchester United, with a chance of qualifying for the Champions League.

This alone is enough to make the long-lost Newcastle fans have a good impression of Xiao Feng, not to mention that he rarely interferes in the affairs of the team, and he has won the general favor of the fans.

In addition, Xiao Feng has reduced the price of tickets by 10% this season, which has made low- and middle-income fans think that Xiao Feng is a good boss.

Therefore, when Xiao Feng's figure appeared on the big screen of the stadium, many fans at the scene stood up and applauded and cheered.

Seeing this, Xiao Feng also stood up and waved to the fans, which attracted a warm response from the fans.

"I didn't expect the fans to have this attitude, I'm a little flattered!" After sitting down, Xiao Feng turned his head and said to Xiaobei.

As an investor, the attitude of the fans does not affect the profitability of the club, and the club's revenue will increase significantly this year due to the increase in sponsors in Huaxia, and the reaction of the fans will not bother Xiao Feng.

Previously, Xiao Feng treated Newcastle United more from the perspective of a 'football manager game', which can also find one of the reasons why he rarely appears on the scene to watch the game.

However, the cheers received at St. James's Stadium today also touched Xiao Feng to some extent.

Perhaps, more energy could be put into Newcastle?

"Now that the team is on the rise, the fans are naturally very grateful to you!" Xiaobei said with a smile: "Fans have always been the easiest group to satisfy, as long as the team plays a decent game, they will naturally not skimp on applause!"

Having grown up in the football community since childhood, Becky naturally knows a lot about the fan culture in England. Fans often support a team for generations, no matter how good the team is.

Newcastle United is now showing a good upward momentum, with full home games, and even thousands of fans watching the broadcast in the open air of St James's Park, with more than 3,000 fans following each away game, which shows the popularity of Newcastle Football!

Although Xiao Feng rarely appears in the team. But as a club executive, Xiao Bei is well aware of the important role Xiao Feng has played in the team's rise.

Since Xiao Feng has invested a lot of money in the team, in addition to introducing high-level players, the biggest change is in the team management, which has gradually moved closer to the top clubs.

Taking the training of the first team as an example, in addition to the head coach Alan Shearer and assistant coach Orm, there are also goalkeeper coaches, basic technical coaches, physical coaches, tactical coaches, etc., and the entire coaching staff is as high as 12 people, which is unimaginable for a team with a shortage of funds.

Besides. Every third team member is accompanied by a massage therapist from Huaxia, a top nutritionist and chef from Huaxia, who is also the team's service staff.

The three-game winning streak after Christmas allowed Beckham to discover some details that others were not aware of, and it also made him more confident in the future of the team.

It stands to reason that halfway through the season, players are at their most in the best physical condition, and injuries can also erupt at this stage, and teams with insufficient resources tend to fall behind between December and January.

But Newcastle are getting better and better. Not only are the players physically energetic, but the probability of injury is also significantly reduced. Compared to the decline of other teams, Newcastle has been on the rise recently.

According to Xiaobei's guess, the physiotherapy masseur from Huaxia and the ingredients and mineral water airlifted from the 'Ginkgo Village' played a crucial role in it.

The mysterious Huaxia does have many magical powers that people look up to!

"Xiao Cong, I've worked hard for you this time!" In addition to Xiao Bei, there were Lin Sicong and Xiao Dapeng sitting next to Xiao Feng.

Lin Sicong was ranked by Lin Jian to Newcastle. Responsible for the development of St James's Park and the new stadium, he was about the same age as Roc and quickly turned into great work partners and friends.

This time Xiao Feng went to Newcastle, Lin Sicong naturally had to put down his work and accompany Xiao Feng to watch the game.

"The social system, the legal system, is very different from ours in England. But let's play steadily, and there's no problem!" Although Lin Sicong is a little older than Xiao Feng, he rarely plays in front of Xiao Feng.

Don't look at him being called 'Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Entertainment Industry' by many domestic media, he seems a little impetuous, but it is just an appearance, and he still shows the corresponding ability in actual work. Xiao Feng and his son Lin Jian are big names of the same level, and he will not treat Xiao Feng as a big brother because Xiao Feng calls him 'Xiao Cong'.

"Brother Cong's actual combat experience is richer than mine, and there are many places worth learning from me!" Xiao Dapeng seemed to be much more capable during this period than when he was in school, and the melting pot of society accelerated his growth.

"The total investment of the new project will exceed 1 billion pounds, which is a battle between the two of you, as long as you get the project right, you can be on your own in the future!" Xiao Feng knew the progress of the new project through the group briefing, and he was also clear about the performance of the two boys.

Whether it is 'Qianxin Group' or 'Jinghu Group', they are in a stage of rapid development, Lin Sicong and Xiao Dapeng are the future successors, and their growth height determines the future prospects of the two groups.

In comparison, Lin Sicong, who is the sole heir of the 'Qianxin Group', has a little more pressure, but as long as he survives these tests, the future is naturally limitless.

As for Xiao Dapeng, there are still a large number of industries waiting for him to take charge in the future, and maturing as soon as possible is his main task at present.

…………

Newcastle had the upper hand on the field, and everyone in the No. 1 box was in a good mood, chatting while watching the team's offensive tide.

In the end, Newcastle defeated the visiting Southampton with a score of 4:0, and while winning four consecutive victories, they also let themselves have the same points as Manchester United, ranking fifth on goal difference!

Champions League qualification is just around the corner!

The appearance of Xiao Feng in St. James made Sky evening news headlines later in the day, and as a super-rich man with $30 billion in assets, Xiao Feng has enough media clout.

Compared to the relatively shriveled titles of the past, Xiao Feng is now the sole shareholder of Newcastle United and the Lakers, and it is easier to become an element of attraction to the audience.

After Xiao Feng joined Newcastle, he rarely appeared in England, but the team's results were steadily improving, and it slowly gave him a certain reputation in English football.

In these years, no matter what circle you are in, strength is king.

If Newcastle is still in a half-dead state, no matter how rich Xiao Feng is, the attention of English football and the press circle will not increase.

Nowadays, many owners of Premier League clubs have privately shouted the slogan of 'wolf', compared with the irrational investment of the Middle Eastern, the Chinese people have a lot of money at the same time, but also have enough patience and keen investment vision.

Judging from Newcastle's performance this season, although Alan Shearer is a second-rate coach at best, he has led the team to play well and gradually won the hearts of Newcastle fans.

According to the current trend, Newcastle will become one of the most competitive teams in the Premier League sooner or later!

…………

Xiao Feng's stay in Newcastle was short, and he boarded a Lufthansa flight to Hamburg the next afternoon.

Schmidt, vice president of operations of Airbus, personally greeted Xiao Feng at the airport, and Airbus still attaches great importance to the first customer to customize the Airbus A380.

Compared with some low-key old-school super-rich people, Xiao Feng, a young man, is quite well-known all over the world, and having him as Airbus' global ambassador will bring great benefits to Airbus.

Although Airbus is not a company that directly faces ordinary consumers, it is still a problem for Airbus's top management to do everything possible to expand the company's influence among the global public.

The reason why Airbus decided to hold a grand handover ceremony at the final assembly plant in Hamburg and donate 10 million euros to the 'Ginkgo Foundation' is still far-reaching.

For the warm reception of Airbus, and even the on-site pick-up of many media in Germany and even Europe, Xiao Feng will not be too surprised, the so-called 'inferiority' cannot be found in him.

In the past, when some foreign super-rich and super-business leaders visited China, they were often received by leaders above the level of deputy prime minister, and even some business leaders were received by the No. 1 leader.

Now, Xiao Feng can almost get mixed up with this status!(To be continued.) )
