Chapter 54: Past and Present Life, Father and Son Reconcile

The Williamsburg restaurant was very quiet.

Everyone glued intently to the TV screen as Jordan thanked the new owner of the Bulls with all sorts of praise.

At the end of the testimonial, Jordan did not forget to sublimate the theme.

He said he would renew his contract with the Bulls for three years with a veteran's base salary, and all of his salary would be donated to the victims of the 911 terrorist attacks.

For most people who tune in to live TV, the only thing everyone cares about is Jordan's comeback.

As for the Bulls boss replacement, not many people actually care.

At most, it's curious how much Jerry Reinsdorf sold the Bulls.

Jerry spent $16 million to buy the Bulls in '84, and now he has to make a move, and it is conservatively estimated that it will have to be multiplied dozens of times.

Although the Bulls finished last season in the East, Jerry Reinsdorf never revealed the idea of selling the team.

The new owner was able to buy the team smoothly, and it must have been Krypton with many difficulties.

There is speculation that the deal will cost more than $600 million.

It just so happened that Li Han was very interested in this question, and asked if anyone could tell him what the new owner of the Bulls was doing and why he had never heard of this guy.

Rebecca, Jimmy, and Caroline, who had already realized why the name John Dutton was so familiar, all looked at Jamie, who was still looking at the TV screen without saying a word.

Li Han saw that no one paid attention to him, so he had to shrug his shoulders and say something cleverly.

"I think he's got a cowboy hat, so he can't be a cow breeder, right?"

Caroline's eyes widened.

She really wanted to tell Li Han loudly that the cow farmer in your mouth only needs to sell a cow casually to buy your broken restaurant!

And it's normal that Li Han hasn't heard the name of John Dutton.

Because Yellowstone beef is only on the tables of those high-end restaurants in New York, people below the middle class have not even heard of the name of this beef.

Just then, Jamie's cell phone rang.

The call was made by Serena to ask John for more details about his purchase of the Bulls.

Jamie tells Serena to come back and explain to her before hanging up.

At this time, the live broadcast on TV has ended, and Jamie has no intention of staying, so he leaves without saying a word.

Soon Rebecca and Jimmy are gone.

Max asks Caroline curiously, she always feels that Jamie has reacted a little strangely since he learned of Jordan's comeback.

Caroline glanced at Li Han, who was still searching other channels with the remote control for more news of Jordan's comeback, and told Max to talk about it later.

Back at the Hampshire Penthouse, just as Serena went to look for Blair, Jamie stood alone in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window in the living room, hesitated for a long time before taking out his phone and dialing his father's number.

At this time, Jordan's comeback ceremony was over, and the phone was connected without ringing twice.

Jamie took a deep breath and said:

"Dad, I saw the TV news."

On the other end of the line, John's voice was unusually calm.

"So what?"

Jamie, who was holding his phone, was stunned.

What should he say?

Congratulations to dad on buying an NBA team?

Or complain that the other party has been hiding it from him for so long?

Since the crossing, Jamie has become accustomed to his father's various kinds of help to him, and he naturally feels that his father should discuss with him no matter what he does.

However, he overlooked an important issue.

Whether in his previous life or in this life, he never seriously understood his father's thoughts.

After crossing over, he took his father as a golden finger for granted, but ignored that the other party was a living person, with his own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and was also qualified to do something he wanted to do.

"Jamie?"

On the other end of the line, John's voice was slightly confused.

"Are you still listening to the phone?"

"Of course, I'm listening."

Jamie took the phone in his hand and responded, "I don't mean anything else to make this call, I just want to congratulate you." ”

To prove it, he immediately added another sentence.

"Tell me about basketball, you know I didn't pay much attention to the NBA before, but I know you love watching the NBA, and you said you would like to go live with me to an NBA game when you have the chance."

Now it was John's turn on the other end of the phone to be surprised.

In his previous life, he had made a similar proposal to Jamie, but the response he received was a refusal without hesitation.

The reason is that there is no interest and no time.

This is, of course, an excuse.

In fact, in his previous life, Jamie also paid more or less attention to basketball and the NBA, and even in his freshman year, he also dyed a hairstyle with the same style as Sakuragi Hanamichi.

It's a pity that it hasn't been a week yet, and he was asked by the class guide to talk many times, and asked him to quickly cut off the red hair with spicy eyes.

Eventually Jamie did so, and it was of his own free will.

Mainly since he dyed his red hair, let alone skipping class in class, even answering questions will be the first to be named by the teacher.

No way, it's too dazzling.

In fact, when he was younger, Jamie liked to play basketball, and his skills were not bad. But since his relationship with his father got worse and worse, he began to resist basketball.

A tall man of more than 1.8 meters, in a college class basketball game, he would rather stand on the sidelines as a cheerleader than touch the ball on the court.

After graduation, I have no time to contact it, and even the NBA rarely pays attention to it.

John is the opposite of his son, in his previous life, his biggest interest after work was watching football, and he was still the main player of the school team when he went to the police academy.

Later, when I arrived at the criminal police team, I was too busy with work, so I gradually became unfamiliar.

It was also at that time that the NBA began to enter the country, and the name Jordan became a household name basketball myth.

It happened that father and son traveled into this world together in 94, and Jordan made his first comeback and led the Bulls to another three-peat.

From that moment on, John had a heart set to buy an NBA team.

This is not unrelated to his love for basketball in his previous life, but the more important reason is that John has always wanted to fulfill his wish to watch the game with his son in his previous life.

Lao Tzu bought an NBA team and put Jordan back on the court, you kid can always enjoy his face to watch the game with me, right?

The reporters outside must never have dreamed that John's original intention of buying the Bulls was so simple.

Now Jamie actually took the initiative to talk to him about basketball and the NBA, which surprised John.

Over the years, he has silently held back his big moves, because it involves the spatial spring water and the identity of the traverser, and he can't leak it out at all.

Now I can finally spit it out!
