423. Gods pride

Liu Mang exchanged pleasantries with Jordan and learned that Jordan led the team to stay at the Hilton Hotel because he wanted to sign a 10-year endorsement contract with the Hilton Hotel from June 2003 to June 2013, with a total value of US$30 million.

.

So Jordan started to create some revenue for the Hilton Hotel this season. The Wizards have to play 41 away games and have to stay in hotels. It's not the same wherever they stay, so they choose to stay at the Hilton Hotel.

As for why Jordan chose where to live with the Wizards, it's because the Wizards currently have no general manager. Before Jordan came back to play, he was the small owner and general manager of the Wizards. It was only in the last two years of Bill Russell's career that he was both a player and a general manager.

After the head coach gets the championship ring, the league prohibits the players from holding management positions concurrently. The head coach is also one of the management positions.

At the same time, Bill Russell also cut off the financial resources of Dave DeBusschere, who was also a superstar at the time. He relied on being a Pistons player and an All-Star to earn money based on the rules of the league at the time.

With extra salary.

But really speaking, it is estimated that DeBusschere's extra salary was the reason why players were completely prohibited 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. After his endorsement, Jordan can only stay at free accommodation provided by the Hilton Hotel Group for public events like this. Just like Yao Ming, who endorses KFC but likes to eat McDonald's, he can only call him

My wife Ye Li secretly goes to buy McDonald's.

Liu Mang is so envious to see that Jordan can still sign an endorsement contract that will earn him US$3 million per year until he is 50 years old after he retires!

This kind of endorsement is really like getting paid even while lying down!

People are so popular that it's only Jordan who has countless endorsements coming to him after he retires.

Seeing that Jordan and Liu Mang had made an appointment to have lunch, people from Jordan's management team and Hilton Hotel management all left knowingly, leaving Liu Mang, Jordan, Paris Hilton, and Ivanka behind.

.

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

With someone like Jordan, when he goes out to eat, he must bring a female companion.

The female companion you take with you to dinner does not necessarily have to be related, it is just a matter of status and face.

After ordering the food, Liu Mang watched Jordan chatting with Ivanka and Hilton like an elder. He felt strange. Jordan was really old! If Jordan hadn't gone bald and shaved his head, he would have retired with Duncan.

Same, my hair and beard are all white!

It was the last time for the basketball god. Liu Mang thought that he was about to play against Jordan for the last time, and he felt a little unexcited.

Liu Mang put aside this idea and looked at Ivanka and Hilton, who was young and beautiful. Ivanka was not a socialite, but a businessman. Hilton was a real socialite, and she was known to both Asians and Europeans.

I think she is a very beautiful woman with a figure that is very suitable for public aesthetics.

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

The four of them sit in an intersecting way. 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 Ivan

Cards face to face.

Seeing Hilton talking frequently and caring about the other three people's feelings, while Ivanka spoke less, Liu Mang felt that Ivanka was really a little different from other eldest ladies.

Hilton has probably been instilled in her the idea of ​​being a socialite since she was a child. Her personality is quite... it's not quite accurate to say she's smooth, and it's not quite accurate to say she's unrestrained. Of course, she's definitely not a lady, but she's an educated and standard socialite.

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

Ivanka rolled her eyes at Liu Mang: "What you are talking about happened 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, waiting for the All-Star Weekend.

After my work is over, I will leave."

"Ivanka, Ace, have you known each other before?" Hilton can really get in on anything others say. "Ace, don't be deceived by this woman's job. Her family is richer than mine. She

My father is a real real estate tycoon!"

Ivanka was not embarrassed after being 'exposed', and said calmly: "Ace has known about it for a long time. He recognized who I was the first time we met."

"Yes," Liu Mang said nonsense to avoid embarrassment: "I used to be a fan of Ivanka's photo album."

"Oh? Ace, I also have a photo album, which is absolutely beautiful," Hilton joked: "I will give you a complete set of the album later, Ace! It is much hotter than the photo album of this fake innocent woman!"

Liu Mang is really embarrassed! Hilton is so unrestrained!

At this time, Ivanka came to Liu Mang's rescue: "Paris, forget about your photo album..."

Liu Mang was very grateful to Ivanka when he heard this. He is a Chinese after all, and the culture he received since childhood is different from that of Americans. He is 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 both of them looked at Ivanka's proud bust...

Liu Mang feels that Hilton is stalwart enough. Compared with Ivanka, I can only describe him as small. Ivanka is much taller and stalwart than Hilton...

"Ivanka! I want to break off our relationship with you! I'm so young." Hilton said angrily.

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I am telling the truth," Ivanka raised her chin towards Liu Mang, "I understand your bad eyesight. If you don't believe me, just ask Ace

.”

Hilton looked at Liu Mang with a fierce look. Obviously, compared with Ivanka, who will be equivalent to the president of the American emperor in the future, Hilton, although the city is already very good, otherwise he would not be the future boss of the Hilton Hotel Group, but compared with

Ivanka was far behind in comparison. Being teased by Ivanka and being applauded, she was obviously irritated.

Of course, it’s hard to say whether Ivanka was really played by Ivanka in the applause, or whether it was intentional. It’s hard to say what happened to people who grew up fighting in a big family and became the boss of the family.

Liu Mang was so desperate. Ivanka glanced at him indifferently. Hilton's ferocious look had lost the aristocratic temperament he had just now. He wanted to cry. Wasn't he just bored and asked Ivanka a casual question? Why did the scene change?

Is it like this?

Liu Mang really wanted to ask Mr. Qiao, why are you looking for these two terrifying devils when you are just looking for a female companion?

Jordan was quietly watching the anecdotes of the three 20-year-olds, and couldn't help but sigh that time is not forgiving, but young people are better! Time is like a butcher's knife, and bananas are no longer useful...





Finally, lunch was over. Women are strange creatures. Just now, they looked like they were about to break off the relationship. After dinner, Ivanka and Hilton, like best friends, took Jordan and Liu Mang to a golf course with a VIP system in Atlanta.

, we made an appointment in advance, and they were the only ones hosted at the golf course today.

In this kind of gentleman's sport, Liu Mang didn't even know how to swing a golf club. He was so embarrassed that he imitated Jordan's golf swing in a completely different way, which made Hilton burst into laughter.

Ivanka, on the other hand, is really like a female manager who takes good care of customers, and is still so serious.

Jordan hit a few shots, his shots were average, and his posture was good, but just like playing baseball, it was not a sport he was good at after all.

Seemingly feeling that time was almost up, Jordan came to Liu Mang, who was helpless about golf, and said, "Ace, I have received a notice from your management. Are you going to give me a speech tomorrow?"

"Yes," Liu Mang said seriously: "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 sports history."

"Tch, you are really straightforward. Your idol is Malone? That guy who can't even win a championship!" Jordan was very dissatisfied with Liu Mang's words, but he liked Liu Mang's straightforward way of speaking.

Liu Mang was a little sweaty. People seemed to regard him as a Malone fan. It was all because of the mission last season.

Liu Mang was noncommittal about Jordan's words. If he wasn't a Malone fan, Jordan would definitely spread the word everywhere with his big mouth. Liu Mang was very grateful to Shuang Sha and didn't want to ruin the relationship. Besides, it's okay to be a Malone fan! Speaking of Malone fans

, is really quite niche, and I don’t know what the current social atmosphere means. If you like a niche idol, people will talk about it and make you feel different.

After Jordan complained dissatisfied, he also became serious: "Ace, in tomorrow's game, I hope you will play seriously and play well. Don't give me face just because it is my last time to come to Atlanta to play. That way you will never be able to play in Atlanta again."

Want to learn any technique from me!”

Liu Mang was stunned. It seemed that this was the real reason why Jordan came to have dinner with him today! It was not to meet celebrities or play golf.

Liu Mang's words to Jordan made him feel the arrogance of a strong man!

This is just like when James slapped the floor and wanted to duel with Kobe during the All-Star Weekend during Kobe's retirement season. Liu Mang also felt that way!

"Tah," Liu Mang replied, "Michael, are you thinking too much? Are you trying to make fun of you? No, no, no, no! I want to avenge the first time I fought you here.

, it will make you lose confidence in basketball!"
