163. Invitation letter worth millions 2/3
Qin Shiou was also stunned. Winnie is so famous? Anyone who knows basketball knows that Wade is a sports hero in the city of Miami, and he actually knows Winnie?
He took out his cell phone, which contained a selfie between him and Winnie, and showed it to Wade. The latter was depressed and shook his head and said, "No wonder, it turns out that she already has a boyfriend, no wonder I can't even get out if I ask her for a phone call."
Bosh, who was sitting next to him, came over and saw that they were all tall and big guys. If Qin Shiou had not had much contact with Yiwasen, it would have been very stressful to sit with these people.
Bosh glanced at it and smiled wickedly: "Dwyane, have you given up this time? Haha, you should change your goals. This flight attendant is not your food."
Then, he explained to Qin Shiou: "This year we went to Toronto to play the playoffs, and the flight we took was your girlfriend's flight. Your girlfriend is a very outstanding woman, which has fascinated many of our brothers."
Wade said unwillingly: "Damn it, that's not necessarily true. Qin, are you married to Winnie?"
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "No marriage..."
Wade smiled, and Qin Shiou continued, "But we have two children."
Wade's smile froze on his face.
Qin Shiou thought secretly, "I didn't say anything nonsense. Winnie always called Hu Zi and Leopard "my good kids". Recently, I also called myself "dad". Isn't these two children?"
Curry and Bosh made a fuss, and Chris Paul, who was sitting quietly beside him, asked curiously, and then he laughed and said to Wade: "You deserve it."
Mao Weilong didn't say a word. He was busy taking photos with his mobile phone. The stars were used to it, and no one expressed their objection. He had a good temper like Curry and Paul, and would cooperate to make a gesture.
Knowledge has been popularized for an hour. The game is about to begin, the doctors leave, and the stars start to warm up.
The names of donors were constantly played on the big screen above the court. The one with the most donations was Jim Walton, who donated a full five million yuan, but no one else got a million yuan. There were many donations of hundreds or thousands of yuan, and most of them were ordinary fans sitting in the audience.
"What's the origin of this Jim Walton?" Qin Shiou muttered. His mobile phone could not access the Internet in the United States, and he could not find the information about this person.
Mao Weilong also shook his head and said he didn't know, but what he knew was that Americans had a strong ability to make money. At first, he thought that this charity competition would cost money, but now he realized that the same amount of money was charged, but all the money was deducted from the rental of the gymnasium, and the rest were included in the funding of the Brain Oncology Research Center.
In addition to NBA stars, there were also NCAA stars who are now more popular, but Qin Shiou didn't know much about them. Only seeing these kids seem to be more popular than famous stars. They performed a few dunks during the warm-up, and the fans cheered constantly.
The game started. Qin Shiou and Mao Weilong stood up. It was not that they stood up on purpose, but that they watched this kind of game and jumped up inadvertently. Although it was just an exhibition match, the game was still very fierce.
In order to protect themselves and to make the game better, the stars basically do not defend. The main thing is to perform and attack, with gorgeous ground-based passes and long half-court passes. The windmill dunks and tomahawk dunks and aerial relays appearing continuously, and the scene is very hot.
Only by watching the NBA game on the spot can you experience the madness that makes you bloody.
Watching games on TV and computers, if the screen is too small, it will reduce the charm of the game, and then it will reduce the appeal of the game again through the screen. Of course, even so, the NBA has won countless fans. If you watch it on the spot, those fanatical fans can faint because of the hot game rhythm and game atmosphere.
Watching NBA games on site, especially those with super point guards and point guards, you should focus very much. If you are stunned for a little, you may miss the wonderful scenes.
The head coaches of both teams are also very famous. One is Jeff Van Gundy, who is very familiar with Chinese fans. When Yao Ming was in the Rockets, he spent most of his time playing under the coach, and the other is Steve Cole, the former comrade-in-arms of Jordan.
The exhibition match has nothing to do with the head coach. The two head coaches sat together and discussed something friendly. Occasionally, they asked for a pause to control the rhythm so that the cheerleaders had a chance to perform.
The 48-minute game was finished in less than an hour and a half. Under normal circumstances, the NBA can play two and a half to three hours in a game, and the main time is wasted on timeouts.
At the end of the game, the stars returned to the locker room and the organizer sent a representative to thank everyone who donated during the period, including those above one million, who received a name-and-name treatment, among which Qin Shiou was among them. In the middle of the game, Qin Shiou received a text message from Auerbach, asking him to increase the donation amount to one million.
Qin Shiou didn't quite understand what it meant, but Auerbach did nothing for him, so he added another 800,000 yuan to raise one million dollars, which made Mao Weilong shout that he was crazy.
The stars also donated money to varying degrees. The most was the young emperor LeBron James, one of the organizers. He donated one million like Qin Shiou, while the other stars were 100,000 and 200,000.
This charity competition seemed silent. When the organizer finally thanked and summarized it, Qin Shiou realized that along with the tickets, he received a total of nearly 20 million US dollars in donations!
Everything was over, and the fans left the court under the guidance of security guards. Qin Shiou and Mao Weilong were thinking about being prepared to leave, but Professor Kra stopped them and said that there was still a dinner party to attend.
Qin Shiou was not interested in such dinners. Professor Kela reminded him: "Qin, how could you miss such dinners? Except for the invited stars, everyone else is a wealthy man who donated more than one million yuan."
Without further explanation, Qin Shiou also understood that this dinner was a gathering in circles and an opportunity to expand his connections. Auerbach asked him to donate one million to get such an opportunity.
Indeed, Qin Shiou's connections are too narrow. Although his net worth is close to 100 million Canadian dollars, he has no other circle to use except for the rich people he met at the Liss Auction.
No matter where you are, your connections are wealth.
Qin Shiou followed Professor Kra to a well-decorated restaurant at the Boston Hilton Hotel. Auerbach was already waiting there and handed Qin Shiou to the old man. Professor Kra drove away again.
When entering the door, a security guard checked the invitation letter and confirmed Qin Shiou's identity before allowing them to enter.
Auerbach explained: "This banquet was held by Mr. Jim Walton, and all the people who can attend are rich, but except for those stars, you should be the youngest one, and you will probably be very popular at that time."
Qin Shiou smiled and asked the question he had been holding in his heart for a long time, saying, "Who is this Mr. Jim Wald?"
Auerbach looked at him in surprise and shook his head helplessly and said, "Qin, I know you don't know much about the circle of wealth, but I didn't expect it to be so small. You must know Walmart, right? Jim Wald is the president of Walmart!"
Walmart, the world's largest retail chain store!
Qin Shiou secretly scolded her for cheating. He used to think that the boss of Walmart was the surname Walmart, but he didn't know that it was Walton. This is wherever he went. (To be continued)
