168. Fake smile
After saying thank you to the security uncle, Ye Han entered the Prias Villa, slowly drove forward, and found that this place was even bigger than he imagined, walking on the standard three-way road, looking at the surrounding scenery, Ye Han really had a kind of driving on the highway to a sparsely populated place, and the scenery was very beautiful, there were all kinds of trees everywhere, and some were obviously not plants from the east coast.

For a while, Ye Han thought he was lost again...... If there are no occasional patrol cars passing by and wooden fences that fence off certain areas.
There are lawns outside the road, and most of the places are not surrounded by wooden fences, and the surrounding place is probably someone else's home, and the villa can be seen vaguely from a distance, and it seems that it is the owner of the area that was blocked.
Finally, after driving in the direction indicated by the security uncle for four or five minutes, Ye Han stopped in front of a gate with Robert Johnson written on it.
Ye Han took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone number of the team's owner, Robert Johnson, and soon the other party was connected.
"Oh, Ace, you're coming so slowly, Michael, that old guy is already pushing us to start playing, come in. No, damn Michael, how can you be so lucky......" Robert Johnson didn't finish his sentence as if he had thrown away his phone, probably Jordan got another good hand, this guy is said to be a hobby in the World Series of Poker.
Fortunately, although the boss was busy gambling, he did not forget to open the door, and Ye Han was able to enter the courtyard smoothly.
After entering the courtyard, there is a large garden, and even fruit trees, and there is a small building on the side of the road from time to time, but it is certainly not the residence of Robert Johnson's family, because there is a small lake four or five hundred meters in front of the naked eye, and there is an exaggerated villa in the back, and this roadside villa is probably where servants and bodyguards live.
"Capitalism is really erosive...... Ye Han thought indignantly in his heart, "When I have money in the future, I will also buy such a big house and yard, but it is better to say that it is better to go to Australia, and you can buy as big a house as you want when you go to New Zealand, and it is cheap, but the ultraviolet rays are too strong over there......"
For these rich people, although Ye Han doesn't like it, he doesn't reject it, they have so much money and should enjoy that kind of life.
And I heard that Robert Johnson, the first black owner in NBA history, was very poor when he was young, and he was still working as a car washer at the age of 30, and then he was interested in the TV industry by chance, and he got the opportunity to cooperate with a rich second generation to get an investment of 500,000 yuan, and used the loan of 15,000 US dollars to start a business, relying on very good ideas to gain a firm foothold in that era when new TV stations and mushrooms sprung up.
It was a time when racial issues were severe, and Robert Johnson was the first television station to be created specifically for blacks, and much of the content was directed at blacks, which was where his vision was fierce and the reason for his later success.
Now Robert Johnson's main industry is Charlotte's local light industry and agricultural products, and due to Time Warner's aggressive merger with other TV stations such as ESPN and ABC, he once owned more than 20 channels, and the TV station with a predominantly black audience was also acquired by Time Warner.
Ye Han thought about it and arrived at the lake, there was already a Filipino maid waiting there, he got out of the car and gave the key to one of the servants, and then followed the other servant into the villa.
It is a standard Western European style villa with a small lake in front and a huge townhouse behind the small lake, with a clock tower in the center of the villa, which surrounds the clock tower like a star and a moon.
Villas, small lakes, gardens, meadows......
If you saw Duncan's villa Ye Han complaining about this stuffy-sassy-male is really willing to pay for it, he is no longer able to evaluate this huge villa, in short, he definitely can't afford it now, it is estimated that he will get the money for the contract he signed with Nike in advance, probably 60 million, and it is estimated that if you want to buy this villa, it is estimated that it is hanging, this manor calculated in hectares is not something that players can afford, even if the top players want to buy it, they have to spend all their savings throughout their careers, Top players have longer careers than average players, but the average number of years they have earned the top salary is only six or seven years.
Even if this villa is in Charlotte, where the price is very cheap, it is estimated to cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
Walking into the central main entrance of the villa, there was a huge living room, and he thought to himself that the room in the middle of his relationship was directly a living room, which was very lively, and some beautiful women of all colors with hot bodies walked around.
The whole Bobcat team arrived, as well as Jordan and some retired players and some businessmen, more women, all kinds of socialites were invited over, they were already playing, and they all greeted him when they saw Ye Han come in, and even some arrogant women greeted him with provocative words.
Ye Han was very unaccustomed to this kind of occasion, but considering the face of the team owner, he greeted the people present with a smile.
Boss Robert Johnson also put down his cards and walked over with a few middle-aged white men with broken temperament, as well as Jordan.
Robert Johnson is a relatively short and fat black man, and after some pleasantries, he introduced Ye Han, "Ace, let me introduce you, this is Elvin Donner, the head of Time Warner's Sports Illustrated, and our stadium is their title." ”
Time Warner, known as the world's largest media and entertainment company, uses its own highly influential media to package its own artists.
"Hello, Mr. Donner, nice to meet you." Ye Han said with a smile.
On the one hand, "small characters" such as Okafor saw Ye Han's gentle smile, and on the other hand, they were envious that he could meet these business and political bigwigs, and it was this kind of formal meeting. Although Okafor was also taken by the boss to meet with some bigwigs, he had never made such a grand introduction, and he was almost welcomed to the door of the living room.
Who called people popular fried chicken, the stocks of the boss's company have been rising sharply because of Ye Han's outstanding performance.
However, what Okafor cares about most is not these, which is expected, because Yao Ming has made the Rockets owner worth several times in more than two years, from the poorest owner in the NBA to the middle and upper class of NBA owners.
So Robert Johnson slowed down in selling the team to Jordan.
Of course, it's not that Robert Johnson has repented, he just wants to borrow a little more influence brought by Ye Han, and slowly sell his shares to Jordan little by little, and now he is basically in charge of Jordan and Bickerstaff in addition to paying player salaries and collecting ticket income and sponsorship income.
The timing of this transition coincides with the timing of Robert Johnson's negotiations with Jordan to have the Bobcats' home main advertising area for the next decade.
Speaking of which, Bickerstaff didn't attend the party, he didn't like the occasion, and according to media reports, he went to Orlando.
Robert Johnson's main purpose in convening this gathering was to win Ye Han's heart and bring him into the circle of the rich to show that he valued him.
What made Okafor complain was Ye Han's smile, the smile was too fake! It's a complete smirk.
"Ou, I didn't expect to see you, I can call you Ace, right? I'm a big fan of yours. "Erwin Donner is much more sleek than Ye Han, whether what he says is true or not, it makes people feel like they are acquaintances.
"Erwin, since you like to watch Ace play so much, then your group should give us more sponsorship, we will give Ace a huge contract in two years, haha." Robert Johnson laughed.
Ye Han obviously felt that the boss was deliberately trying to increase his favorability, was he trying to win himself over?
joked with Elvin Donner, and continued to introduce Ye Han, "This is North Carolina Congressman Wes Carlton. ”
"Hello......" Ye Han continued to greet those people introduced by Robert Johnson with his sunny smile, and remembered the identities and characteristics of these people, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, in case they need each other's help or help each other in the future.
On the one hand, this gathering is a signal from the Bobcat management to Ye Han to show how much they value him, and it is also a reward for the miraculous performance of the Bobcat team this year.
