Chapter 166: NBA Dinner
The All-Star Game ended with a lot of noise. In the end, Russell Westbrook, the backup point guard of the Western Conference, became this year's MVP with 41 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals. The 41 points were also the MVP of the game. The second highest score in a single game in the history of a star, second only to the 42 points set by Zhang Dadi, but this is also terrifying.
When Russell Westbrook raised the award cup symbolizing the MVP of the NBA All-Star Game, this New York All-Star Game was officially over. For some ordinary people, they can go back now. Go to sleep.
But for those celebrities attending the All-Star Game, there's a special party to attend to.
Of course, it is not clear to say that it is entertainment, because the people who can participate here are either rich or noble.
Even these players are willing to communicate with these wealthy people to see if there are any opportunities to make money.
Jiang Hai also had an opportunity to attend this dinner. Of course, this was inseparable from Moses Adams' connections. In addition to his connections, Jiang Hai also needed to show his 'strength'.
He needs to first donate one million US dollars to charity organized by the NBA, which can be regarded as a stepping stone.
The one million U.S. dollars is tax deductible, and the frequency of tax deduction is one to one, so Jiang Hai doesn’t care much about donating the one million U.S. dollars. Anyway, by April, the one million dollars will have to be paid. You have to pay it, even if you don't. Now that I have a chance to attend the banquet, it's still a good choice. After paying this million. Jiang Hai also walked into the venue where NBA held a banquet.
But after entering, Jiang Hai felt a little regretful, because even the people attending the banquet were black people. They were all wearing suits and leather shoes, but he was the only one wearing outdoor clothes, which was indeed a bit embarrassing and a loss of status.
Jiang Hai felt like the waiters here were wearing more formal clothes than him, and the most important thing was that this was a dinner party. But it was actually a buffet banquet. Most of the people were holding a glass of wine and talking, just like what they saw on TV. And there was no food in the cold restaurant...
"Well, I look a little out of place in this outfit, don't I?" He glanced at Moses Adams beside him. Jiang Hai said softly.
"Boss, I told you a long time ago, but you don't like wearing it! Boss, it's up to you. Haha, I'll go over there first. I have a few clients to meet." He patted Jiang Hai. shoulders. Moses Adams said with a smile.
In fact, even if they want to buy suits now, it's too late. After all, the All-Star Game starts at eight o'clock in the evening. An All-Star Game lasts for nearly three hours. It's already eleven o'clock when it's over. When they get here to attend the banquet, it's... It's past eleven o'clock.
The stores that are open 24 hours a day obviously don't sell the kind of suits that can be used to attend a banquet of this level.
So instead of buying some off-brand. It's better to let Jiang Hai wear this outfit, which is more unique and conspicuous.
He had indeed told Jiang Hai a long time ago that he must wear formal attire when attending certain occasions, but Jiang Haiye was used to it. To be honest, he didn't like formal attire. It could be said that he hated it, because Even moving his arms was restricted, which was difficult for him to understand, but now that he was dressed like this, to be honest, he was indeed a little embarrassed.
Everyone in the room would glance at Jiang Hai from time to time after seeing Jiang Hai arrive. In this lobby full of suits and dresses, Jiang Hai stood out so much. If it weren't for the fact that he had been seen by tens of thousands of people in the past few days, After that, Jiang Hai might be defeated under such a look, but even so, he still felt a little guilty.
After grabbing a glass of wine, he walked to the long table and prepared to pick some food.
Although this place is called a dinner party, to be honest, everyone is a little far away from the dining table. After all, they are not here to eat. Originally, Jiang Hai was not here to eat, but considering that he is dressed like this, even if he is going If you make friends with those people, you probably have a high chance of being a hothead but a cold butt. Instead of doing this, your one million is deducted from taxes and you can feed them for free. As for opening up business routes and so on, Yes, to be honest, Jiang Hai doesn't care too much because he has absolute strength.
"Salmon, cod, uh, this is red-headed fish? Damn, why are they all raw? Could it be that we can only eat some fruit?" Jiang Hai picked up a banana and ate it while looking at the things on the long table. gourmet food.
But at the cold table, naturally everything is cold food. The so-called cold food does not mean that it is cooled for you to eat after it is finished, but that it is cold at the beginning, such as some sushi, salad, etc. Mainstream here.
But Jiang Hai has a problem. He doesn't eat raw food, so now he is also very confused.
"Hello." Just when Jiang Hai was confused and didn't know what to eat, a pretty female voice came to his ears. Jiang Hai looked up and found that it was indeed a girl. This girl She is about 1.7 meters tall. Of course, this is because she wears high heels. I glanced at the soles of the shoes and found that although they are not sky-high, they are still 6 or 7 centimeters tall. So this girl is about 1.65 meters tall. She has long black hair and a tanned skin. She is not a pure white girl, but she is an obviously American woman. Her face is somewhat wide, but her lower jaw is very narrow. It looks a bit strange, but It looks very good when paired with her exquisite appearance. She is wearing a black half-lace dress. She is holding a glass of wine and looking at Jiang Hai in front of her with a smile.
"Oh, hello." Jiang Hai took another bite of banana and nodded towards the girl. He didn't seem to recognize her.
"Why are you eating here alone? Are you hungry?" Seeing Jiang Hai respond to her, the girl smiled and said to Jiang Hai.
"Oh, I don't know anyone. It's quite unusual for me to dress like this, and I don't know what to say to these people. Anyway, the donated money can be tax deducted, so I prepared to go back to sleep after eating. "Shrugging his shoulders, Jiang Hai said helplessly.
"Oh, you are really interesting. You came here just to eat. If Mr. Silva knew about it, he would probably be willing to return your one million to you." After hearing Jiang Hai's explanation, The girl covered her mouth and laughed sweetly. The Mr. Silva in her mouth was Adam Silva, also known as Xiao Hua, the current president of the NBA.
"If I can retreat, I think I will consider it." Jiang Hai shook his head, looked at the girl and chuckled.
"Let me introduce myself. After talking to you for so long, I don't think you recognize me. My name is Selena Gomez. Oh, well, you really don't know me. I am an actress and a Singer." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, the girl took the initiative to stretch out her hands and said to Jiang Hai. Sure enough, when she said her name, Jiang Hai's face was still blank, and she laughed at herself. As a Now a quasi-first-line star in the American entertainment industry, she is really worried about her popularity.
"Oh, haha, I'm sorry, I don't really recognize people. After all, I just came here not long ago. In fact, most of the Americans look the same to me except for their different skin colors. They look like You see, people in Asia look almost the same." Seeing Selena Gomez's words, Jiang Hai was a little embarrassed and found a reason. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and shook the girl's hand, but then he He let go, he was not Brother Pig, he couldn't walk when he saw a woman.
"I came here mainly to thank you. The Justin Bieber you taught me a lesson is my ex-boyfriend, but he is really a bad person." Looking at Jiang Hai, the woman leaned in casually In front of the table, she talked about the reason why she came to talk to Jiang Hai this time. After hearing her words, Jiang Hai nodded, which was no wonder.
In fact, Jiang Hai mainly doesn't pay much attention to these things. If he paid attention, he would know about the grudges between Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez. The two have been together since 11 years. However, the two broke up in 13 years, but for Justin Bieber, if he can't get it, he has to find a way to destroy her.
This is not some malicious hype, because he himself does not need to be hyped. The sales volume of his special books and the like are still very high. His approach is actually the simplest B-state psychology. He cannot get anything. Yes, no one else can even think of it.
So on some shows or on his own Twitter, Da Pa told people all over the world about the love history between him and Selena, and even told people all over the world about the first time Selena said this to him, For such a rotten person, it would be a shame if a woman didn't hate him.
However, Jiang Hai did not know this, but this did not prevent him from agreeing with this woman's words.
"Well, that kid just needs to be dealt with. He is indeed a rotten person." Jiang Hai nodded and said seriously.
"By the way, what kind of business does Mr. Jiang do?" Obviously, Selena doesn't want to talk too much about Bieber now, especially in front of a strange man, although she is grateful to this man. , but that’s just it.
"I have a manor in Boston that specializes in raising cattle, horses, fish, growing grapes and making wine." Hearing Selina's words, Jiang Hai smiled and said to her, after hearing what Jiang Hai said Speaking of which, Selena was a little surprised.
Originally, he thought Jiang Hai was a manager of some company. After all, to her, Jiang Hai really looked like an ordinary otaku. Seventy percent of the people who hang out in Silicon Valley have Jiang Hai's unique characteristics. , the atmosphere of home!
"Come on, we can't really let you have dinner here and then leave. I'll take you to meet someone." After hearing Jiang Hai's introduction, Selina laughed and led Jiang Hai towards the distance. He walked through the crowd. (To be continued.)
