Chapter 807: Boss Xiao Spends a Lot of Money
Walking to the stadium and being watched by 30,000 people is a feeling that only you can know if you meet it yourself. Even Xu Ang was a little nervous at this moment.
He all reacted like this, let alone Xiaoxiao.
The little hand holding his brother's finger unconsciously used a little more force. Although Xiaoxiao's strength was very small, Xu Ang could feel it.
Not only that, Xu Ang also found that his fingers were a little moister, which was because Xiaoxiao was sweating.
Didn't you perform very well before? I really thought you didn't know what fear was.
Leading Xiaoxiao to the center circle of the stadium, Xu Ang greeted everyone. The fans at the scene immediately shouted his name: "Xu! Xu! Xu!..."
The expressions on everyone's faces and the atmosphere at the scene were comparable to a gathering of fanatical believers.
This is the influence of stars, it’s really intuitive.
With emotion in his heart, Xu Ang was rejoicing for the fans of Laomi. Fortunately, his surname was Xu and not Hu. Otherwise, the fans would have shouted so loudly and passed by the center of the Bao Ship Arena without knowing it. They would have thought that District 11 was in trouble again and would come again. There was a big air raid.
Of course, this is just a possibility. After all, with the knowledge reserve of Americans, they don’t bother to remember so much. If you were to conduct an interview on the street and ask Americans who bombed Pearl Harbor, half of the ten American passers-by would guess it was the United States, and the remaining five would guess it. Three of them didn't know. One of them asked in confusion which country Pearl Harbor was from. Only the last one could answer correctly.
He stretched out one hand with his palm facing down, making a downward gesture. When the center of the arena became quiet again, Xu Ang spoke.
"I know what everyone is concerned about, and I know there are people who can't wait to hear about a championship ring from me."
"Yeah, Barkley, I'm talking about you. Look at that hungry face of yours, man, you can't hide what's on your mind."
"I have to talk about you at this point. You have to learn from Kobe and the others. Look at how calm they are, how can they be so impatient like you."
Xu Ang teased Buckley, and Barabala talked a lot, but didn't get to the point, leaving Barkley helpless. His embarrassment was seen by the fans, who couldn't help but burst out with bursts of good-natured laughter.
Seeing others make fools of themselves and seeing others get anxious is a tune that people all over the world love.
The reason why a joke is a joke is that it has a certain degree of restraint. An overused joke will not have the effect of making people laugh.
After some teasing, Xu Ang brought the topic back, and he finally said what Barkley wanted to hear: "About the team's championship ring, it is the first championship in the history of our Clippers team, and it has a special meaning, so our boss, Xiao, gave us a full budget.”
Xu Ang stopped talking at this point. He looked down at Xiaoxiao and signaled her with his eyes: Do you remember what your brother told you?
Xiaoxiao tilted her little head and thought for a while, and finally remembered a number that her brother had told her. When Jin Beile handed over the microphone, she said in a sweet voice: "One million, one hundred." Ten thousand."
Very few people in this era are willing to learn Chinese. They don’t understand what Xiaoxiao said, but they can’t bear to have someone translate it to them.
As soon as Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Xu Ang immediately continued: "Did you hear that, Barkley? Our boss Xiao has spoken. The championship ring is made according to the standard of one million US dollars. I think such a boss is enough." That’s generous, isn’t it?”
What a concept it was in 1997 to build a ring for a million dollars!
&nbThere hasn’t been a big salary increase yet. Many players have to work hard for two or three years to get this amount, and they also have to pay taxes.
How many two or three years does an athlete's career last?
After excluding taxes, getting half of this number is not bad.
The saying "ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes, ten thousand taxes" is not a joke, it comes from life.
If one ring costs one million, how much would it cost to make a set of rings for the entire Clippers team?
With expenditures in the tens of millions, the first place is not yet one.
The 30,000 Americans present looked at Xiaoxiao with different eyes. They never expected that such a cute little creature would act so boldly. Some old fans even compared her with Sterling, and couldn't help but curse Sterling with words such as "good luck dying as a miser."
Xu Ang is very satisfied with the fans' reaction, as well as the Clippers' coach and general manager, and the changes in the players' expressions.
As the owner of the Clippers, Xiaoxiao's first appearance must be stunning enough to leave a deep impression on everyone, so that she will not become a mascot with no sense of existence because of her young age. In this way, when Xiaoxiao becomes an adult, it will be much smoother if she wants to manage the team by herself.
As an older brother, Xu Ang is really not easy.
When Xiao Gouzi was only five years old, she had to consider turning eighteen.
Of course, this also made many people sure of one thing, that is, Xu Ang was not prepared to take over the Clippers team himself. It was a gift he prepared for his sister Xiao.
A five-year-old child is actually the owner of a championship team. Who would dare to believe it.
The real world is so bizarre that even novels cannot match it.
Barkley's face almost broke with laughter. He felt that joining the Clippers this time was extremely wise. Not only did he get the championship ring he had always wanted, but he also snatched the ring from that guy Michael, and because the team owner was generous enough, the cost of the championship ring was as high as one million. US dollars.
How would it feel to wear such an expensive championship ring and wave it in front of that guy Jordan?
What a beautiful word.
That is to say, Xu Ang didn't know what Buckley was thinking, otherwise he would remind Buckley to put on protective gear for himself before doing that, lest the old gangster would be too angry to have a cordial exchange related to fighting with him.
When the time comes, it will be good or bad, and it will be big news.
After leading Xiaoxiao to give this little sister a sense of presence and allowing Clippers fans to know the real owner of the team they support, Xu Ang stopped playing tricks.
Some things will be less effective if done too much. This is the principle of doing too much and not doing enough.
According to the celebration process, Xu Ang celebrated the championship with the team's players and staff, as well as the 30,000 fans in the center of the arena. When he was so happy, he did not forget to tell Kim Baylor: "I will hand over the draft this time. It's for you and Bill. Remember, Dayao must be selected by our team. Although our draft pick is at the bottom, the Suns want Barkley back, and their pick is ours. With the pick, let them choose Dayao and then switch to the Clippers."
Kim Baylor replied: "Don't worry, we have all discussed it properly and there will be no problem. The Suns will sign first and then trade. We will send away Barkley and several bad contracts and exchange them for Yao."
In fact, Jin Baylor is not optimistic about Dayao. At this time, Dayao is too thin, which makes people doubt that he can't play in the NBA. But Jin Beile could only do what Xu Ang repeatedly emphasized.
