423. The arrogance of God

Liu Mang greeted Jordan for a while, knowing that Jordan led the team to live in the Hilton Hotel because he wanted to sign an endorsement contract with the Hilton Hotel for 10 years from June 2003 to June 2013 with a total of 30 million US dollars.

So Jordan began to create a little revenue for the Hilton Hotel this season, and the Wizards had to play 41 away games, and they all had to stay in a hotel, and it was not the same to live there, so they chose to live in the Hilton Hotel.

As for why Jordan chose where the Wizards lived, because now the Wizards have no general manager, Jordan himself was the small owner and general manager of the Wizards before he came back to play, but after Bill Russell was a player and head coach in the last two years of his career and got the championship league I don't know how many championship rings to issue, the player is prohibited from concurrently serving in management positions, and the head coach is also one of the management positions.

At the same time, Bill Russell also cut off the financial path of Dave Debusschel, who was also a superstar at the time, and he relied on himself to be a Pistons player and an All-Star to get an extra salary above the league's rules at the time.

However, it is estimated that De Bscel is taking an extra salary is the reason why players are completely banned from serving as head coaches after the salary cap was introduced.

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

Obviously, not all cities with NBA teams have Hilton hotels, and after the endorsement, Jordan can only live in the free accommodation provided by Hilton Hotel Group for public activities, just like Yao Ming likes to eat McDonald's because he endorses KFC, so he can only ask his wife Ye Li to secretly buy McDonald's.

Seeing that Jordan can still sign an endorsement contract that can still get 3 million US dollars a year until he is 50 years old, Liu Mang is so envious!

This kind of endorsement is really taking money while lying down!

People are more popular than people, and Jordan can still have countless endorsements after retiring.

Seeing that Jordan and Liu Mang had made an appointment for lunch, the people from Jordan's brokerage team and the management of the Hilton Hotel all knew each other and left, leaving Liu Mang, Jordan, Paris Hilton, and Ivanka behind.

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

With an identity like Jordan, when you go out to eat, you must bring a female companion.

The female companion you bring with you at dinner doesn't necessarily have to be related, it's just a matter of identity and face.

Ordering a good dish, Liu Mang watched Jordan chat with Ivanka and Hilton like an elder, feeling weird, Jordan is really old! If Jordan hadn't shaved his head, it would probably be the same as when Duncan retired, with gray hair and beard!

The last time of the basketball god, Liu Mang thought about the last time he was about to play Jordan for the last time, and he felt a little excited.

Liu Mang put this idea aside, looking at Ivanka and the young and beautiful Hilton, Ivanka is not a celebrity, she is a businessman, Hilton is a real celebrity, and whether it is Asians or Europeans and Americans, she will feel that she is a very beautiful woman with a very beautiful body that is very suitable for the public's aesthetics.

As for why celebrities are good-looking, Liu Mang thinks it has something to do with the fact that the women their father is looking for are all good-looking......

The four of them are the kind of crossed sitting, Ivanka plays Liu Mang's female companion today, Hilton is Jordan's female companion, Jordan sits next to Ivanka, Liu Mang sits next to Hilton, Liu Mang and Ivanka face to face.

Seeing Hilton's words repeatedly, he took care of the feelings of the other three, Ivanka said little, and Liu Mang felt that Ivanka was really a little different from other eldest ladies.

Hilton was probably instilled with the idea of being a socialite since he was a child, and his personality is quite ...... It's not very accurate to say it's sleek, it's not accurate to say it's unrestrained, of course, it's certainly not a lady, but it's educated, a standard celebrity.

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

Ivanka glanced at Liu Mang: "What you said was last year, I am now the general manager of the Hilton Hotel in Atlanta, responsible for the opening of the new hotel here, I have been here for half a year, and when the work of All-Star Weekend is over, I will leave." ”

"Ivanka, Ace, you knew each other before?" Hilton really can insert anything that others say, "Ace, don't be deceived by this woman's job, her family is richer than mine, and her father is a real real estate king!" ”

Ivanka was not embarrassed to be 'debunked', and said lightly: "Ace already knew, he recognized who I was when we first met." ”

"That's right," Liu Mang said nonsense in order to avoid embarrassment: "I used to be a fan of Ivanka's photo album. ”

"Oh? Ace, I also have a photo album, it's absolutely good-looking," Hilton teased: "I'll give you a complete set of Ace later!" It's a lot hotter than this fake innocent woman's photo album! ”

Liu Mang is really embarrassed! Hilton is so unrestrained!

At this time, Ivanka helped Liu Mang to relieve the siege: "Paris, forget about your photo album......"

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

But...... Ivanka's next words 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 the two of them looked at Ivanka's proud chest in unison......

Liu Mang feels that Hilton is majestic enough, and compared with Ivanka, he can only be described as small, Ivanka is much taller than Hilton......

"Ivanka! I'm going to break up with you! Where am I small. Hilton said shyly.

"I'm telling the truth," Ivanka raised her chin at Liu Mang, "I understand that your eyes are not good, I don't believe you asked Ace." ”

Hilton looked at Liu Mang with vicious eyes, obviously, compared with Ivanka, who is equivalent to the president of the United States imperialism in the future, although Hilton is already very good in the city or something, otherwise he would not become the boss of the future Hilton Hotel Group, but compared with Ivanka, he is far behind, and he was played by Ivanka in applause, obviously angered.

Of course, whether it was really played by Ivanka in applause or deliberately, it's hard to say, this kind of person who grew up to become the head of the family in a big family since childhood, it's hard to say about them.

Liu Mang was so desperate, Ivanka glanced at him indifferently, Hilton was fierce and vicious, and he didn't have the temperament of a celebrity just now, he wanted to cry, didn't he just feel bored and asked Ivanka casually, why did the scene become like this?

Liu Mang really wanted to question Old Man Qiao, just look for a female companion, why are you looking for these two terrifying demon kings!

Jordan quietly watched the interesting stories of three young people in their 20s, and couldn't help but sigh a little that the years are unforgiving, and they are still young people! The years are a pig-killing knife, and bananas are already a little useless......

……

……

Finally, lunch is over, women are strange creatures, just now they were in a posture of breaking off friendship, having dinner, Ivanka and Hilton were like good girlfriends, and took Jordan and Liu Mang to a VIP golf course in Atlanta, and made an appointment in advance, and the golf course received a few of them today.

This kind of gentleman's sport, Liu Mang doesn't even know how to swing, so he is embarrassed, and imitates Jordan's swing in a different way, which causes bursts of laughter from Hilton.

It's Ivanka, who is really like a female manager who treats customers well, and is still so serious.

Jordan played a few shots, and he played average, and his posture was good, 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 are going to give me a speech tomorrow?" ”

"Yes," Liu Mang said, "Maybe you are not my favorite basketball player, but in my heart, not only basketball, you are the athlete I admire the most in the entire history of sports." ”

"Cut, you're really direct, your idol is Marlon? That 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 is a little sweaty, people seem to really regard him as a fan of Ma Long, all of whom were harmed by that mission last season.

Liu Mang was noncommittal to Jordan's words, if he wasn't a Malone fan, Jordan's big mouth would definitely go everywhere to publicize, Liu Mang was still very grateful to Shuangsha, and he didn't want to ruin the relationship because of this, and it was nothing to be a Malone fan! Speaking of Malone fans, they are really quite niche, and I don't know what the current social atmosphere means, if you like a niche idol, you will be talked about by people and make people feel different.

After Jordan complained dissatisfiedly, he also became serious: "Ace, tomorrow's game, I hope you play seriously, play hard, don't give me face just because it's the last time I'll play in Atlanta, then you won't want to learn any skills from me in your life!" ”

Liu Mang was stunned, it seems that this is the real reason why Jordan came to eat with him today! Instead of meeting celebrities, playing golf or something.

Liu Mang's words to Jordan felt a kind of arrogance of a strong man!

This is the same as when I saw Kobe Bryant's retirement season in the All-Star weekend, James patted the floor to go head-to-head with Kobe, and Liu Mang also had that mood!

"Cut," Liu Mang also replied, and then said, "Michael, you think too much!" Putting water on you? No, no, no, no! I'm going to get revenge for playing you here for the first time, and I made you lose faith in basketball! ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Liu Mang heard a familiar "ding ......"
