Chapter 1422: Boiling the Frog in Warm Water
Lin Feng frowned! Unexpectedly, all three of his personal investment advisers suggested that he should fake it and marry Ivanka Trump directly. (Reading novels)
"Lin, maybe what we said is a bit unpleasant, but if you want to further your career and integrate into the upper class society, marrying Ivanka Trump is undoubtedly the best choice." Abby Cohen said.
Lin Feng's face darkened.
"Of course, your friend Allegra Versace is also good. Marrying her is also a good choice." Anne Kruger added.
"Well, Allegra Versace is good. It will make it easier to integrate into the upper class society in Europe." Abby Cohen thought for a while and nodded.
"Okay, let's not talk about this matter anymore. I'm asking you because I hope you can give me advice on business, not personal life." Lin Feng's face turned completely dark. Regarding the suggestions from Abby Cohen and others, he naturally knew that they were all for his own good, and he was telling the truth.
The American people are inherently a nation with a sense of superiority and are convinced that their country is the most powerful country in the world. Therefore, all Americans are born with a very senseless sense of responsibility - the world's policeman, who believes that everything that happens on this planet is Related to Americans. And this sense of responsibility that is too Quixote-like undoubtedly makes Americans extremely proud. Therefore, for Lin Feng, a super rich man from a third world country who has always been the imaginary enemy of the United States, the ordinary people of the United States have nothing to do with it. After all, most people have no idea about super rich people like Lin Feng except to look up to him. What other negative emotions.
After all, when the gap between the two parties is too large, there will be no envy, jealousy or hatred. Just like when Chinese people see the President of the United States, they will not envy, envy or hate why he can become the President of the United States, but they cannot become the President of China. Once the gap between the two sides is too large, all envy, jealousy and hatred will be nothing.
But for the upper class in the United States, the sudden appearance of a figure like Lin Feng, who is so flamboyant and high-profile, naturally makes those upper class people in the United States extremely unhappy. It will make people look like an eyesore, and they will instinctively want to make things difficult for Lin Feng. . Therefore, if you marry a rich lady from the upper class like Ivanka Trump, it will really help you to integrate into the upper class of the United States. After all, the United States is the center of world trade!
However, although Lin Feng knew this and understood this clearly, it did not mean that Lin Feng would compromise. I already have wealth that is difficult for others to match in their lifetime. Do I still need to sell my conscience and relatives for more wealth? Lin Feng will never admit this!
Abby Cohen and Anne Kruger shook their heads helplessly. Since Lin Feng wouldn't listen, there was nothing they could do. After all, they are just Lin Feng's personal investment advisors, not emotional advisors.
"Lin, in that case,
Then we suggest you're better off working with Donald Trump. Although he is a bit too crazy, once he becomes the president of the United States, the benefits you can get are the greatest. Instead, I suggest you stay away from Kerry. This person is beyond your ability to understand and control. If you contact him rashly, it will only bring you trouble. ” suggested Anne Kruger.
Abby Cohen and Michelle Camdessus nodded at the same time, and they had the same view.
Lin Feng nodded helplessly. Since the three professionals all unanimously recommended that they should not contact Kerry, it would be best not to contact him to avoid unexpected trouble. However, working with Donald Trump to implement this "engagement plan" seems a bit unreliable in Lin Feng's opinion.
"By the way, Lin, if you really want to get the maximum benefit, there is another way - boil a frog in warm water. That is to train a person, fund him, and let him run for president of the United States in the future. In this way, not only will It's foolproof, and the benefits you gain will be maximized. However, it is too difficult to know who is likely to enter the White House in the future. It is very likely that the people you have spent more than ten years and a lot of dollars to train will not be able to enter in the end. It is possible to enter the White House but defect to another camp. Therefore, although this method of boiling a frog in warm water has the highest return rate, there are too many unknowns! Michel Camdessus said suddenly.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"Lin, this method can be used to try to create a god, but I advise you not to have too much hope." Abby Cohen and Anne Krueger saw Lin Feng's eyes shining and quickly spoke to dissuade him. If Lin Feng really spends a lot of energy on this "warm water to raise frogs", that would not be a good thing.
Lin Feng smiled faintly. Indeed, this "warm water to raise frogs" plan is indeed not risky for other people, but there are too many unknowns and too many variables, and it is very likely that it will be nothing. But for me, this "warm water to raise frogs" plan is perfect.
Because I know clearly that the person who will succeed Bush in the White House in the future is Obama, the first black president in American history. In Lin Feng's memory, Obama in 2004 seemed not to be doing well. No one knew that four years later he would become President of the United States.
"Thank you all, I already have a sense of proportion in this matter." Lin Feng smiled and ended the video.
Donald Trump! ——Lin Feng tapped his fingers lightly. Although the three professionals unanimously recognized Lin Feng and their cooperation, the "engagement plan" launched by Donald Trump really made Lin Feng a little bit overwhelmed.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Feng made a decision. If Donald Trump changes his original intention and does not implement this "engagement plan", then he will continue to choose to cooperate with Donald Trump and help him run for President of the United States. If he insists on executing this so-called "engagement plan," then he will do his best to cultivate Obama. Although it has to wait four years, it is better than executing this nonsensical "engagement plan" with Donald Trump. What's more, betting on Obama is more sensible no matter how you look at it.
After thinking about everything, Lin Feng looked at his watch. It was almost time for the rematch between the Houston Rockets and the Indiana Pacers and rushed to the court. Because this game is a rematch of Game 5 of the Finals, the Houston Rockets announced that all fans who purchased tickets for Game 5 can enter directly with their ticket stubs from the previous game, and Lin The wind also caused Dawson to announce that if the Houston Rockets win the five-minute overtime game, a parade will be held immediately after the game to celebrate with all the fans the Houston Rockets winning the third title in franchise history. champion.
Therefore, although this overtime game only lasted five minutes, the fans came early. And the entire home court was awash in red! This is a T-shirt that Lin Feng urgently printed to celebrate the Houston Rockets' championship. With the red color of the Houston Rockets as the main color, and three O'Brien Cups (and as long as the Houston Rockets win the championship in the future, one will be released, and one more O'Brien Cup will be printed on it for each championship), making this piece The T-shirt, which originally cost only US$2, looks extremely luxurious and is sold for US$10. After the dress was launched, 100,000 pieces were sold in just three hours. The Houston Rockets easily earn $800,000.
Dawson admired the business idea in Lin Feng's mind. Just such an ordinary T-shirt with the Houston Rockets logo and three Bryant Cups printed on it can actually sell for $10 and sell 100,000 units. This is really an exaggeration. You know, the Houston Rockets have not yet won the championship. Once they win, they will definitely sell more.
Perhaps, the Houston Rockets will become the most profitable team in the league in the future! ——Dawson sighed.
Looking at the enthusiastic fans in the audience, Lin Feng was extremely pleased. He has put a lot of effort into this Houston Rockets. Not only did he try hard to recruit Jordan, Billups and others, but also in order to maintain attendance, Lin Feng solemnly promised that as long as the Houston Rockets can score 100 points in every game. High scores, whether victory or defeat, earn all fans a burger and a beer.
Now, the team has rewarded itself with its record, and the fans have rewarded themselves with their enthusiastic cheers. Obviously, everything he has done for this team has not been in vain! When I originally bought the Houston Rockets, it was purely to satisfy my personal selfishness and help China's promising Yao Ming, but now it seems that investing in the Houston Rockets may become one of the most successful investments in my investment career.
"Give it! Give it!" Just when Lin Feng was about to wait for the Houston Rockets to win the championship, a beautiful woman who surprised Lin Feng forced his way in from behind.
Lin Feng looked sideways and froze on the spot!
Ivanka Trump! The person who forced his way to sit next to Lin Feng from behind was Ivanka Trump.
"Why are you here?" Lin Feng asked in surprise.
"What, I bought a ticket, why can't I come to watch the game?" Ivanka Trump snorted.
Lin Feng was speechless. You just watch the football, why do you have to squeeze in between Lin Chiling and me? Besides, don’t you hate me very much? ——Lin Feng shook his head at Lin Chiling apologetically. Regarding this Ivanka Trump, Lin Feng is a bit at a loss. Now that I am cooperating with her father, Donald Trump, to develop real estate in China, and may even cooperate further in the future, I cannot embarrass Ivanka Trump too much. After all, I always have to give Donald Trump a little. face. What's more, Ivanka Trump is such a charming beauty. As long as she doesn't go too far, Lin Feng can't bear to lose his temper with her.
However, the thought of sitting with Ivanka Trump seemed a bit inappropriate. Lin Feng instinctively wanted to stand up and sit aside.
"Lin, I heard from my father that you'd better sit next to me so that outsiders won't find it easily." Ivanka Trump suddenly said softly.
Lin Feng looked strange. If you are afraid that outsiders will find out and want to send a message secretly, then just call. But why are you sitting so close to me? You are Donald Trump’s daughter. Sitting so close to me is not contradictory!
Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. But seeing Donald Trump pulling her gently, she had no choice but to give up the idea of leaving.
"By the way, what does your father want you to say?" Lin Feng asked.
"We'll talk later. Now let's watch the ball!" Ivanka Trump pointed to the court.
Lin Feng frowned. Seeing that Ivanka didn't say anything, he couldn't ask any more questions, so he had to focus on the court first and wait until the game was over. After all, this game only lasts five minutes.
Ivanka Trump smiled proudly when she saw Lin Feng stopped asking. But there was a touch of unfathomable flavor in the smile.
Game start!
Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the "red" fans, the five-minute rematch was almost one-sided. The Houston Rockets led by Jordan made the Indiana Pacers win the final game without a single point, and won the 03-04 NBA championship with a total score of 4:1!
When the referee blew the whistle, the "Wahaha Center" suddenly became a sea of joy.
The fans were boiling! They never thought that they would witness the rise of the team again so soon, and witness the team win the Bryan Cup again.
The players were boiling! For James, Wade, Yao Ming and others, it is undoubtedly very lucky to win the Bryan Cup just after entering the NBA.
For Jordan, this Bryan Cup is even more meaningful. This proves his value and proves that although he is old, his skills are still alive. Maybe he can't lead the team to victory by dunking and tireless running and defense, but he can still lead the team to victory and win the championship with his experience and skills, with the help of his teammates.
At this moment, Jordan cried again! Hugging Rodman, tears streaming down his face. Everyone said he was no longer good, but in the end he still stood at the highest point. On the basketball court, he was still the invincible "God"!
"Michael, who do you want to thank the most for winning the championship for the seventh time?" Lin Feng's "fsn-n" TV reporter was the first to interview Jordan.
Jordan wiped away his tears of happiness and looked at all the players together.
"Who do you think we should thank the most for winning the championship?" Jordan shouted.
"Boss! The person I should thank the most is the boss - Lin Feng!" All the players shouted.
Indeed! Without Lin Feng, there would be no Houston Rockets today, and they would not stand on the court of the finals and hold up the Bryan Cup!
The fans on the sidelines also applauded and shouted Lin Feng's name.
Lin Feng sat in the stands and laughed. You know, usually after the team wins the championship, the fans shout the names of the players who performed best on the court, but now they are calling their own names. It can be said that this is an honor that has never been seen in the history of the NBA. Neither the former "Cardinal" Auerbach nor Buss, who has been running the Los Angeles Lakers for decades, has ever won this honor. Lin Feng has only been running the Houston Rockets for two years, and he is loved not only by the players but also by the fans. Lin Feng is proud of this.
"Huh, I didn't know you were so popular with your players and fans!" Ivanka Trump snorted.
"I just realized that Lin is not a bad person in the eyes of some ignorant rich girls. Only those who don't know how to appreciate him think he is bad." Avril's voice suddenly came.
Lin Feng looked back and saw Avril panting. Obviously, she must have run in.
"Avril, why are you here!" Lin Feng stood up in surprise. Avril was writing a new song with Mariah Carey, so she didn't have time to come to watch the game with Lin Feng recently. Avril also explained to Lin Feng helplessly. Of course, the most important thing is that Avril doesn't like basketball herself. She is not a standard basketball fan like Jessica Alba. Therefore, Lin Feng did not notify Avril of this overtime game, but she came unexpectedly, which naturally made Lin Feng overjoyed.
When his team reached the highest podium, Lin Feng also wanted to share it with his family.
"Huh, my man's team won the championship, how can I not come to celebrate!" Avril kissed Lin Feng and laughed, but turned to Ivanka Trump and snorted, "I say, Miss, why are you here to watch the game, don't you hate basketball? And why are you sitting with my man, don't you always have a weird taste!"
Avril was taking a break from writing songs, and she saw in the newspaper that Lin Feng had a conflict with Donald Trump because of Ivanka Trump, although the outside world didn't know what the result was. But Avril hated Ivanka Trump. Although Jessica and others also knew that the cause of this incident was Lin Feng, for Avril, who has a rebellious personality, no matter who is right, anyway, you messed with my man, it's your fault. Later, when she heard Lin Chiling talk about Lin Feng's experience in Donald Trump's apartment, Avril was even more indignant.
No one can create a god to criticize my man like this, especially women! Therefore, seeing Ivanka Trump at this moment is naturally very unhappy, and naturally will not miss the opportunity to ridicule her.
When Lin Chiling and Jessica heard Avril ridiculing Ivanka Trump, they laughed in their hearts. The two of them told Avril about Ivanka Trump, hoping that Avril could help them vent their anger and teach this annoying Ivanka Trump a lesson. Of course, it’s not really annoying. After all, Lin Feng offended Ivanka first, so it’s normal for Ivanka to ridicule Lin Feng a few times. But women are extremely protective of their children, and they will not tolerate any criticism from others for the people they love. What’s more, both Lin Chiling and Jessica have an instinctive sense of danger, and always feel that this Ivanka will be their biggest threat.
They want to eliminate this threat. But as Lin Feng's secretary, Lin Chiling knew Lin Feng's character very well. She did not dare to publicly mock Ivanka, as that would make Lin Feng dissatisfied. After all, she is Lin Feng's secretary, and her words and deeds represent Lin Feng. To ridicule a billionaire's daughter is really not what a rational secretary should do. As for Jessica Alba, it can be said that she is born with the feeling of being inferior to Ivanka. In addition, her personality is not an extremely flamboyant one. She cannot say such openly sarcastic words. But both of them wanted to eliminate this threat and at the same time avenge Lin Feng. Looking around everyone, Avril was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
Ivanka Trump frowned. She naturally knows this Avril. The pop queen, the little punk princess, is the idol of many young people, and her fans include all kinds of people. For example, wealthy daughters like the Hilton sisters also like Avril Lavigne very much. But she, Ivanka Trump, doesn’t like Avril Lavigne. She belongs to the standard kind of wealthy daughter, who behaves in a low-key manner, doesn't like to wear all kinds of revealing clothes, and doesn't like to go to various nightclubs. In short, she is a very traditional wealthy daughter.
Therefore, when I heard Avril's words at this moment, I was naturally dissatisfied. However, Ivanka did not retaliate to Avril. For her, this was a self-deprecating behavior. She just snorted and turned her head proudly. That noble temperament is fully revealed.
gas! Avril's delicate body trembled with anger. She is not afraid of quarreling with others, but facing Ivanka's silent confrontation, she is completely helpless. Especially the noble temperament that the other party naturally exuded made her feel ashamed of herself. But fortunately, the little punk princess is the little punk princess, and this feeling of shame only lasts for a short time.
"I'm surprised that the daughter of a dignified New York real estate tycoon can't afford a ticket or has no man to accompany her, so she sits next to someone else's man." Avril snorted coldly.
Lin Feng was speechless. Avril Lavigne's words are really ruthless and sharp. You must know that this Ivanka Trump is the daughter of her partner, so she has to give her some face. But in a war between women, it's best not to participate if it's not necessary. What's more, Lin Feng also hopes that Avril Lavigne can make this Ivanka Trump angry away. Lin Feng felt that the Ivanka Trump today was a little different, and it made him feel a little scared. It always feels like something terrible is about to happen!
Ivanka Trump frowned slightly, glanced at Avril Lavigne, who had a provocative face, snorted again, turned her head gracefully, and ignored Avril Lavigne.
Avril is very angry! She was actually ignored again, completely ignored. Especially Ivanka's contemptuous look made Avril tremble with anger. Although you are the daughter of a New York real estate tycoon, born into a noble family, you cannot look down on others like this.
"Lin, that woman is shameless, but we are shameless." Avril dragged Lin Feng over and refused to allow Lin Feng and Ivanka Trump to sit together.
Lin Feng took the opportunity to come over.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Ivanka Trump spoke.
"Shameless? I don't know who is shameless. He is my fiancé. What's wrong with me and my fiancé sitting together? And you are pestering my fiancé. Isn't it too despicable? Okay, Lin, I'll start today Let's go. But you have to understand that although I am generous, I hope you can deal with these women before our wedding." Ivanka Trump pointed at the women around Lin Feng and left gracefully.
Lin Feng was immediately dumbfounded!
