【Chapter 1130】 The curtain opens (ask for subscription!)
The Senate session of the Chinese Empire closed on April 6, and after attending the closing ceremony, more than 2,000 parliamentarians from all over the country brought souvenirs back to their homes.
This is also Xiao Feng's first official appearance in front of the global public as a politician, and in the words of Western mainstream media such as the Associated Press, this is an epoch-making idol that is different from the previous politicians of the Chinese Empire, and Xiao Feng's future in the political arena is worth looking forward to.
Although neither the media nor the public can predict Xiao Feng's future path, once Xiao Feng really engages in politics under his current conditions, he may be able to go further.
In this regard, Xiao Feng didn't have too many feelings, the members of the Senate were more of a natural result, as for the higher position or full-time official status, perhaps Xiao Feng, who attaches too much importance to his family, does not agree with it.
In fact, in Xiao Feng's heart, he hopes that he will be able to hold important positions in international organizations such as the International Olympic Committee and FIFA in the future, which is also an important opportunity to change the existence of Chinese forces in the international sports arena.
Everything is unknown, let it be!

Before returning to Los Angeles, Xiao Fengda 'Nini' returned to 'Ginkgo Village' to visit the elderly at home, and after two months of the NBA season, the children could return to the village for a long time after the holiday.
April's 'Mirror Lake Scenic Area' is undoubtedly the most gorgeous season of the year, with alpine rhododendrons and Gesang flowers all over the mountains making it look like computer wallpaper.
The cool climate, beautiful scenery and colorful food make 'Jinghu Scenic Area' the most ideal holiday destination in the minds of many people. In the past two years, for various reasons, the popularity of 'Jinghu Scenic Area' has skyrocketed all over the world, and it has become the most popular scenic spot in China.
When Xiao Feng returned to 'Ginkgo Village', Zheng Xia, the executive president of 'Jinghu Company', also asked him to report to his work and brought the financial report of the first quarter of the scenic spot.
In the first quarter of 2018, the 'Jinghu Scenic Area' received a total of 2.2 million tourists, an increase of about 20% over the same period last year, and a record high.
The first quarter is not the peak season for tourists in the 'Jinghu Scenic Area', and the changeable weather and the impact of the Spring Festival make the tourist reception of the scenic spot tend to be about 40% less than the peak tourist season in summer and autumn. According to the technical statistics of the past 10 years, the 'Jinghu Scenic Area' is expected to achieve a reception volume of 12 million people in 2018 and officially enter the ranks of the 'Ten Million Club'.
In the 10 years since its opening, the 'Jinghu Scenic Area' has gone from obscurity to worldwide attention, creating a miracle in the history of tourism in China and even in the world, and this glory not only belongs to the founder Xiao Feng, but also to thousands of Jinghu employees.
'Jinghu Scenic Area' is about to enter the 'Ten Million Club', and Xiao Feng is overjoyed by this result, after all, the importance of 'Jinghu Scenic Area' is also quite prominent in many industries of 'Jinghu Group'.
Even if the related industries of the 'Jinghu Group' can bring more wealth to the 'Xiao family', they are not comparable to the huge influence brought by the 'Jinghu Scenic Area'.
Every year, millions of tourists pour into the 'Jinghu Scenic Area', driving tens of thousands of jobs in the scenic area, from catering, accommodation, services to trade, etc., the GDP brought by the upstream and downstream industrial chain is a huge number.
In addition, because the popularity of the 'Jinghu Scenic Area' is getting higher and higher, the huge number of tourists brought by it has greatly changed the economic development of the 'Ginkgo New Area' and even southern Yunnan Province, which is not comparable to a single 'Jinghu Group'.
In addition to the 'Jinghu Scenic Area', the heads of industries including ranch, 'Jinghu Dairy', and 'Xiaojia Farm' took the initiative to find Xiao Feng to report on his work and let him review the reports for the first quarter.
As the chairman of the board of directors of the group, although Xiao Feng rarely interferes in the management affairs of the group, the heads of various departments will not be so blatant as 'treating Xiao Feng as nothing'.
The vigorous development of various industries of 'Jinghu Group' made Xiao Feng's mood quite happy, after all, it was difficult to see the company he founded by himself enter a stage of rapid development, benefiting the majority of villagers and bringing huge wealth to himself.
…………
Xiao Feng stayed in the 'Ginkgo Village' for three days before boarding the 'Nini' and returning to the United States, because the NBA regular season was coming to an end, and he, the core of the team, could not stay all the time.
When Xiao Feng returned to Los Angeles, the Lakers had only two regular season games left, and in the previous 79 games, the Lakers had an excellent record of 71 wins and 8 losses, which was also the third consecutive year that the Lakers lost fewer than 10 games in the regular season.
In order to adjust for the time difference, Xiao Feng simply did not go to the away game against the Denver Nuggets, but stayed in Los Angeles and waited for the Lakers' last regular season game.
Over the past three years, Staples Arena, the home of the Lakers, has been a nightmare for all teams in the NBA, as the Lakers have won 127 games in a row and have not lost in four seasons!
In the last home game of the season, Xiao Feng naturally didn't want to lose, so he simply recuperated in Los Angeles, ready to end this perfect season with a victory.
Although Xiao Feng missed many games, he also participated in more than 70 regular season games, and the current situation of ranking first in the NBA's top three rankings has not changed, which is also the first star in NBA history to do so.
On April 13, the Lakers comfortably defeated the Nuggets on the road, ending the 2017-18 regular season with a 33-8 record on the road, the best of any team in the NBA.
Relying on all home wins and the best record on the road, the Lakers have created a desperate regular season record for the third year in a row, and before the playoffs even begin, it has been unanimously recognized by all the media and fans as the biggest favorites to win the championship!
For the Lakers, not winning the championship is a failure!
…………
On the evening of April 15, fans began to gather at Staples Arena from all corners of Los Angeles like a stream.
Every time the Lakers play a home game, it is a festival for Los Angeles fans, and it has become an indispensable part of life for everyone to come to the scene to cheer for their heroes.
Especially in the past three years, the Lakers have swept away the difficult decline in previous years, created historical results in a row and won two championships, which has brought the enthusiasm of the Lakers' home fans to a peak.
Currently, the Lakers' home ticket prices are the highest in the entire NBA league, and the average price has reached a staggering $300, which is more than 50% higher than other teams.
Just for ticket sales, the Lakers were able to earn about $250 million in a season, and with the sale of various merchandise, 41 home games brought the Lakers more than $300 million in revenue.
Even though the ticket price is expensive, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of Los Angeles fans, and the Lakers' home games, Staples Arena will be flooded with 20,000 fans, which can be called the hottest ball market in the league.
For fans, spending a lot of money to buy tickets and travel through most cities to watch the Lakers not only enjoy the joy of victory, but also be able to see a pleasing and wonderful performance, which naturally feels that it is worth the ticket price.
In order to repay the enthusiastic support of the fans, the Lakers are also not stingy, basically in every home game will provide free burgers and Coke for every fan who enters with a ticket, although the cost is not much, but it has won a lot of praise from fans.
In addition, Staples Court will hold a variety of lottery and activities every game, most of the prizes are autographed basketballs, jerseys, etc. by Lakers soldiers, and even gifts provided by the 'Mirror Lake Group'.
The colorful live activities and exciting games make the Lakers fans feel a stronger sense of belonging and support for the team!
With seven days to go until the playoffs between the Lakers and the Western Conference No. 8 Jazz, tickets for both home games were snapped up by enthusiastic fans, with an average ticket price of a staggering $500!
Cheered on by 20,000 fans, the Lakers comfortably defeated the visiting Mavericks to win all of their home games this season and go 128 consecutive home games unbeaten.
This is also a new record in the NBA, in fact, this record will continue to increase every time the Lakers win at home.
Yes, Xiao Feng, who had been absent from the battle for a long time, still felt hot, not only scored 28 points, but also got 16 assists and 11 rebounds, and the title of triple-double king is worthy of its name!
After the game, Xiao Feng's personal technical statistics in the regular season became 32 points, 21 assists, 13 rebounds, and 5 steals, and he was also the first superstar in NBA history to win the first place in the three rankings.
The combination of scoring champions, assist kings and steal kings, coupled with the Lakers' 74-8 record, everyone knows that Xiao Feng's regular MVP is already a sure thing. Last season, the NBA league awarded the MVP to Xiao Feng and Kobe Bryant for the first time in recognition of their perfect performance throughout the season, and now Xiao Feng can finally enjoy this honor exclusively.
Xiao Feng left a desperate monument to the latecomers with 56 triple-doubles and 4 quadruple-doubles, and if it weren't for Xiao Feng's short time in the NBA, the media would almost have put the title of 'most comprehensive and greatest' on his head.
In the three years since joining the NBA, Xiao Feng has left a record of 180 triple-doubles and 11 quadruple-doubles in more than 200 games in the regular season, both of which have become the first in NBA history!
In addition, Xiao Feng has hit more than 500 three-point shots for three consecutive seasons, which is also an incredible record, and the NBA's basket is as vast as the Pacific Ocean for Xiao Feng!
…………
After the game, the 20,000 fans in the stadium sang and danced for a long time and were reluctant to leave, after all, this was the last game of the regular season, which was quite commemorative.
Seeing this, Kupchak urgently launched a new round of lottery activities, distributed 100 signed shirts and 10 signed basketballs to the fans, and gave 100 gift packages provided by the 'Jinghu Group' to the fans, which made the atmosphere of the scene boiling.
In his post-match press conference, Xiao Feng praised the performance of the fans in attendance, saying that they were the team's best sixth man, and it was because of their tireless shouting and cheering that the team was in much better shape at Staples than elsewhere. The glory of a 128-game winning streak at home belongs not only to the Lakers, but also to these adorable fans!
In order to show respect to the fans, Xiao Feng publicly declared that the goal of the playoffs is to successfully defend the title and win three consecutive championships, which is also the first time that the Lakers and Xiao Feng have publicly shouted the slogan of winning the championship this season!
Xiao Feng's domineering declaration won the unanimous approval of the media reporters on the spot, and various reports afterwards also fully reflected this, after all, judging from the strength and record of the Lakers, if Xiao Feng is too modest to think that he wants to work hard to enter the second round of the playoffs, it will be too hypocritical!
Xiao Feng's declaration of winning the championship also means that the NBA playoffs have entered the countdown stage, and no team has ever won three consecutive championships after the 'OK' combination, maybe Xiao Feng and his Lakers team will rewrite history this year!
As the playoffs approach, media experts and basketball celebrities from all walks of life have also expressed their opinions in major media outlets to preview the playoffs.
In the Eastern season, the Big Three led by James still maintained a strong enough competitiveness, ranking second in the league with a 65-17 record in the regular season, although it cannot be compared with the Lakers, but it is also a notch above other teams.
In fact, it should not be a problem to break through from the Eastern Conference and break into the NBA Finals for four consecutive years, and this will be James' sixth consecutive personal and ninth career NBA Finals. This number has surpassed Kobe, Jordan and other celebrities, second only to the Lord of the Rings Russell, although James has only won the championship twice, but it is already great enough.
As for the Western Division, whether it is the Warriors' Splash Brothers, the Thunder Shuangshao, Yang or the Rockets, none of them can pose any threat to the Lakers, and the only suspense is whether the Lakers will sweep and advance to the Finals in the Western Conference as they did in the previous two years!
In the playoffs in the past two years, the Lakers have a terrible record of 32 wins and 1 loss, and the loss is considered by most people to be deliberately released, in order to return to Staples to celebrate the championship, and by the way, draw a successful end to Kobe's career!
Although the current Lakers team lacks Kobe, it is not too inferior in terms of staffing, Jeremy Lin himself is a good scorer, coupled with the good performance of the inside Mark and the United Arab Emirates and the two rookies Towns and Zhou Qi, the Lakers will not lose too much in every position.
What's more, the Lakers have Xiao Feng, the current number one star in the league, as long as he is on the court, he is undoubtedly the anchor of the Lakers soldiers and fans, and other teams have to ask Xiao Feng if they agree if they want to win!
With all kinds of questions, the eyes of the global media and fans began to focus on the United States at the end of April, and the playoffs of the NBA2017-18 season are about to kick off!
