For Lao Mei, who has always pursued the 'large displacement and large space' of automobiles, the arrival of a world's first superyacht is always a welcome thing.

So when the "Ping An" crossed the Pacific Ocean and arrived at the port of Los Angeles, thousands of citizens, Lakers fans and reporters from dozens of media outlets flocked to the city.

Although the "Ping An" flies the Chinese flag, in the eyes of many Los Angeles citizens, it is one of the pride of Los Angeles. It is foreseeable that for a long time in the future, the 'Ping An' will be stationed in Los Angeles for a long time and become a scenic line in the port of Los Angeles.

As for the Lakers fans who came to greet Xiao Feng, they came purely for Xiao Feng's big money, and in the trade season that just started, many of the Lakers' big money made fans see the hope for the team's future.

In addition to selecting center Towns from the University of Kentucky in the draft, the Lakers have also signed contract extensions with several veterans and role players such as Jeremy Lin to maintain the stability of the team.

In July, the three heavyweight transactions also let fans and the outside world see the ambition of the boss Xiao Feng!

First of all, the team reached an agreement with the Trail Blazers to send next year's draft picks and 2 million cash, and signed All-Star power forward LaMarcus Aldridge, and then the Lakers reached a three-way deal with the Grizzlies and the 76ers, sending players including Nick Young, Boozer, Blanton Buss and two future draft picks, and got the current NBA's outstanding center representative Mark Gasol.

The 29-year-old Mark is the younger brother of the Lakers' former decorated center Pau Gasol, and he has a solid foundation and a super high ball quotient, making him the best active center.

The news of Mark joining the Lakers has also been reported by major media in the United States, and it is considered to be comparable to the shocking trade in 2008.

Then another transaction made the media and industry insiders a little incomprehensible, thinking that the Lakers have begun to plan for Kobe Bryant's retirement, focusing on building a super-first-class interior line. The Lakers acquired All-Star center Roy Hibbert with a future second-round pick and Jordan Hill. It also let the outside world see the strong strength and huge appeal of the Lakers.

After a series of transactions, the uniform team led by Kupchak has won the unanimous recognition of fans and industry insiders for their efficient work, and of course, Xiao Feng, who is willing to pay high salaries and luxury taxes for the stars, has also been quite praised.

Currently, Kobe Bryant's final year salary has reached a staggering $25 million, and he will also become the most paid player in NBA history with a total salary of $328 million in a 20-year career.

Except for Kobe. Hibbert's salary in the final year of his contract is $15 million, while Mark Gasol signed a five-year contract with the Lakers worth up to $120 million, with a salary of $20 million in the first year, and another All-Star power forward Aldridge's contract is not small, 80 million for four years, and 17 million in the first year!

Another big contract of the Lakers comes from Lin Madness, Xiao Feng offered him a 5-year contract of 50 million, hoping that the light of the Chinese can shine more brightly in the Lakers. In fact, the medical team from Ginkgo Village has already begun to intervene in Lin's training and physiotherapy this summer, and a healthy 'Lin Madness' is of vital significance to strengthen the team's strength.

The salaries of five All-Stars alone have exceeded the $84.7 million luxury tax cap for the NBA2015-2016 season. For this reason, Xiao Feng needs to pay the same luxury tax for the salaries of the team's remaining 8 players of more than $20 million!

This means that in addition to paying more than $100 million in salary in the 2015-2016 season, Xiao Feng will have to pay $20 million in luxury tax.

This is not counting Xiao Feng's salary, Xiao Feng plans to sign with a basic salary in the NBA this time, otherwise he will pay his salary, which is nothing more than a left-handed in and right-hand out, which will cheapen the NBA league and the Internal Revenue Service.

However, this is nothing for Xiao Feng or the Lakers club!

Needless to say, the ultra-high profits of the 'Jinghu Group' are self-explanatory. With the NBA's new TV deal set to go into effect in 2016, the team's revenue will skyrocket. Top stars with annual salaries of more than $30 million will abound in the future.

Within the next three years, the NBA's luxury tax trigger will skyrocket to a staggering $121 million, and teams will become accustomed to offering big contracts to their stars.

With the continuous enhancement of the team's strength, fans see more hope for entering the playoffs, and they are also quite cold to Xiao Feng, a not very managerial owner.

Anyway. A boss who is willing to pay is always welcomed by the fans, so when the 'Ping An' arrived in Los Angeles, many fans spontaneously went to the scene to greet them.

The arrival of the fans was far more moving than the flashing lights of the media, and when Xiao Feng was interviewed by the media at the port, he especially through the loudspeakers on the scene. Reassure the fans that the team's goal in the new season is to win more championships!

It was also the first time that Xiao Feng had publicly announced his goal of winning the championship since taking over the Lakers, and the speech immediately made headlines on major television stations that night, and the next day mainstream media outlets including the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the New York Daily News, and the Chicago Tribune.

For a while, all walks of life in the United States were very interested in the preparation of the Lakers for the new season, and many media reporters gathered near Staples Arena to try to shoot some heavyweight pictures!

It's early August, and the stars on vacation have returned to Los Angeles one after another, and the new players are starting to look for a house in Los Angeles.

At this time, the return of owner Xiao Feng to Los Angeles is also regarded by the outside world as a sign of the start of the team's preparations, after all, the worst fighter in history with a 21-61 record in three seasons is still holding his breath on the Lakers.

In this summer, the media unexpectedly discovered that Kobe Bryant was not out on vacation, and he seemed to have reverted to the black mamba that he used to 'enjoy the beauty of Los Angeles at 4 o'clock in the morning'.

The boss of the team worked so hard, and the other players naturally did not dare to indulge, and quietly returned to Los Angeles at the end of July and began to get rid of the fat that skyrocketed on vacation.

Compared to the previous two seasons, the situation of self-defeating and getting by. The Lakers seem to have undergone some very special changes this summer, with mixed media reviews, but the exact effect will depend on the start of the NBA regular season on October 28.

At least for now, it's a good sign!

…………

After a long voyage of more than 15,000 nautical miles, Xiao Feng's family is quite tired, even if everyone's physical fitness is quite good. The facilities of the 'Ping'an' are quite perfect, but after two months of drifting at sea, no one can stand it.

Back in the 'Dream Manor', Xiao Feng's family basically fell into a state of eating, sleeping, and eating, and it took three full days before everyone regained their spirits.

If you say that in the two months of circumnavigating the world, the most harvested is not Xiao Feng and his wife, nor the old people, but the children.

Whether it's Nini or Yu'er, they see different cultures along the way. Although they do not quite understand the profound meaning behind these cultural phenomena, they open the floodgates for them to see the world.

Perhaps in a few years' time, the benefits of this summer's trip will begin to be felt.

In addition to Nini and Yu'er, who are still a little ignorant, the Brooklyn brothers, Xiao Dayi and Li Yan, who have received Xiao Feng's two-month special training, have the greatest harvest.

Under Xiao Feng's supervision, they have made great progress in both the Five Fowl Opera and the 'Qi Refining Technique', and their physical fitness is getting better and better under the nourishment of the 'Space Spirit Spring'.

After three days of adjustment after coming to Los Angeles, Xiao Feng took his five children to the training ground of the Los Angeles Galaxy for joint training, and their skills, physical fitness and physical confrontation ability have completely surpassed the players of the same age. Brooklyn and Li Yan can even directly confront the players of the senior team without falling behind!

Xiao Feng was quite satisfied with this summer's special training, and the children's progress basically reached the level that Xiao Feng had in mind. The future is promising!

…………

On the afternoon of August 14, local time in Los Angeles, the 'Nini' took off from Los Angeles International Airport, carrying five children including Xiao Feng and Brooklyn.

Nini will fly straight to Newcastle and in addition to sending the kids back to the team's training camp, Xiao Feng will also watch the team's opening game against Aston Villa at St James' Park!

In midweek last week, Newcastle United beat Shakhtar Donetsk from Ukraine 2-0 at home. With a score of 4:1 over the home and away legs, they successfully advanced to the fourth round of the Champions League qualifying round. In the draw ceremony on 7 August, Newcastle United will battle to the death against Club Brugge in Belgium on 19/26 August for qualification for the Champions League group stage.

For this reason, in the next two weeks, Xiao Feng will have to sit in the club to supervise the battle, after all, whether he can enter the Champions League group stage. It will be related to the strategic layout of the team in the next few years, and there is no room for sloppiness!

When Nini landed at Newcastle International Airport, there were reporters from more than 30 media outlets waiting, after all, this is the stage when all kinds of big news are coming out one after another.

When Xiao Feng was asked about his expectations for Newcastle United's new season, Xiao Feng was still a little more modest, just hoping that the team could go further than last season, after all, the Champions League qualification is quite tiring!

However, in Xiao Feng's heart, the team spent another 120 million pounds in transfer fees this summer, not just to accompany the prince to study.

The league championship and the quarterfinals of the Champions League are Xiao Feng's internal goals for the team, and for Newcastle today, a league championship is the real cohesive existence!

However, in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, Xiao Feng and the club's senior management also tacitly kept silent about high goals, waiting for time to test.

…………

In the next two days, Xiao Feng observed the team's training at the training base, especially paying attention to Cavani from Paris, Lewandowski from Bayern, and the midfielders who played in England.

I have to say that the current Shearer still has two brushes, and in a short period of time, he has kneaded together the almost ordinary main lineup, showing a very high technical and tactical level.

For Xiao Feng, Newcastle United's net profit of tens of millions of pounds a year is nothing, but if Newcastle can win the league and even the Champions League with Newcastle, it will have enough benefits for the 'Mirror Lake Group' and even Xiao Feng.

It seems that after learning the painful lesson of scoring 5 points in the first 8 games, Shearer's growth is still very obvious, which can be described as 'shame and courage'!

Newcastle, which is gradually forming combat effectiveness, will definitely become the most eye-catching character this season, Xiao Feng is convinced of this!

Xiao Feng's confidence is based on the team's reasonable personnel matching, good hardware and software facilities, and the excellent physical condition of the players!

Because of the dual role of 'Chinese Acupuncture Massage' and 'Space Spiritual Spring', Newcastle remained healthy and competitive enough in the second half of last season, in fact, this is the most important trump card of 'Newcastle United'!

In European football, only healthy geniuses can make a difference, but if it is a talent with many injuries, it will soon be lost.

…………

St James' Park was packed for the opening game, with more than 52,000 fans pouring into the stadium to cheer on their heroes!

Xiao Feng also sat in Box 1 and watched the game with Aston Villa boss Randy Lerner, and also witnessed the team's 3-0 victory over the opponent and get off to a good start!

Amid the cheers and singing of more than 50,000 fans, Newcastle United scored their first win of the new season and provided more confidence for their midweek home game against Club Brugge.

Four days later, again at St James' Park, Edinson Cavani scored a hat-trick with an overhead kick to lead his side to a 3-1 home victory. Although letting the opponent get an away goal makes the next leg full of more variables and suspense, Xiao Feng is not worried about this!

On the 25th, Xiao Feng, who followed the team to Bruges, Belgium, watched the team draw 1:1 away from home, won the series, and broke into the group stage of the Champions League!

After a lapse of 12 years, the Magpies returned to the Champions League, which has become the hottest topic in European football this week. With more than £100 million invested in transfers for two consecutive years, Newcastle has also become the fourth local tyrant team after Chelsea, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.

Many media also found out that Xiao Feng took the 'Ping'an' to sail around the world not long ago, and Xiao Feng was indispensable in the media in England and even Europe for several days.

However, Xiao Feng's frequent headlines did not end there, and when Xiao Feng returned to the United States for a week, another explosive news instantly spread all over the world! )
