Chapter 1974 Bitterness

Sometimes, Yin Jun really admires the big heart of these black buddies.

Obviously when the awards were presented just now, they looked bitter and unwilling, but at the celebration held for them, one or two of them were in high spirits and cheered non-stop.

Although Yin Jun was by their side, they drank wine and started laughing and joking, looking very careless.

Even Michael Jordan respectfully brought a glass of wine to Yin Jun and Phil Knight, and said some words of gratitude for their cultivation and attention.

Of course that's what he should say.

Not only did Yin Jun give him a high salary and a super sponsorship contract, but more importantly, Yin Jun's ABC TV station and paid channel EPSN, as well as the "Sports and Entertainment News", spared no effort to Praise him and build this big star.

Jordan has such a high momentum today, and the popularity of "Air Jordan" shoes today is inseparable from the publicity on TV and newspapers.

For now, half of Jordan's fame and prestige are artificially created. If this link is missing, Jordan will immediately be relegated to the prototype of a "super rookie" instead of a rising star. .

Jordan is a smart man, so he naturally knows how to thank Yin Jun.

In addition to playing seriously on the court, he told everyone that Yin Jun took good care of him and was definitely a black man's best friend.

As a result, the black people who were originally very fond of Yin Jun because of the film and television industry now regard Yin Jun as one of their own. Many companies under the North American branch of Kirin Group, as long as black people hear that they are products of Yin Jun's company, they will I will immediately give up comparing options and buy directly.

Then just now he came over to toast, and Phil Knight took the opportunity to tell him that he would extend his contract. Jordan didn't even mean to raise the price, he just said he would sign it if he got it.

"This is a smart man!" Phil Knight exclaimed after Jordan walked away. "I used to think that there were no talents among black people, especially those who play basketball. I didn't expect Jordan to let me I’m impressed, this kid really has a bright future in the future!”

Phil Knight is an old businessman, and he praised him so much. It's really Jordan's way of doing things.

Yin Jun knew why he said this.

Jordan was at his most proud at this time. Even though he lost the title of best player in the finals, Jordan won the best player in the playoffs, and almost all the glory this season was concentrated on Jordan. Even Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar can't compare to him.

no way.

Everyone has long been tired of seeing those superstars, and now that such a fierce rookie suddenly appears, of course everyone will like it.

He is so popular, and his grades are so good, but when facing Phil Knight, he still has no arrogance at all, and is still so humble, with the attitude of "you take care of me, so you have the final say in everything" , it is really rare.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for Phil Knight to say that he will not increase the price, or increase the price less, otherwise it will mean that Phil Knight is being unkind and treating Jordan badly.

Phil Knight would definitely not dare to bear such a reputation, so Jordan would get much more by doing this than if he negotiated seriously.

That's why Phil Knight said, this is a truly smart man.

At this time, Yin Jun and the others were in a nightclub in New York. The New York Kirin team had booked the entire venue. Although there were not many women accompanying the drinks, the hot girls dancing on the stage were very provocative. The drunken players screamed strangely.

The young man didn't like such a lively scene. He stayed for a while, said something to Phil Knight, who was watching with interest, and then walked out with Yelinqinwa.

Bodyguards are waiting at the door.

This place was not far from the hotel where Yin Jun was staying, just two blocks and more than 300 meters away, so they didn't drive. They gathered around Yin Jun and walked towards the hotel together.

New York in the 1980s was definitely a little messier than after 2000.

Especially at night.

New York at night and New York during the day are completely different. Darkness breeds evil. This sentence is applicable everywhere, especially in the world's most prosperous city like New York.

Even though the lights on the main streets are now bright, many people walking on the road are speeding up their pace, fearing that a few people will rush out of the dark alley and rob them, or encounter greater disaster.

But Yin Jun's group was different. A dozen bodyguards guarded Yin Jun in the standard "well" shape. Moreover, Shen Jianshe and Jing Hong were all wearing black suits and uniforms, with sharp eyes. They knew at a glance that something was wrong. person to deal with.

Those little characters who wanted to be sneaky, and even the club members who had weapons in their hands, did not dare to act rashly when they saw this battle.

Guns are allowed in the United States. It's strange that this group of people didn't have guns in such a large formation.

Even if three or five of them charge forward, they probably won't be able to win.

They got it right too.

Not to mention three or five, but thirty or fifty. When Shen Jianshe and Jing Hong had guns in their hands, there was no threat at all.

Yin Jun's group of bodyguards are all highly skilled marksmen in the army. Captain Jing Zhonghong's first principle in selecting Yin Jun's personal bodyguards is that they must dare to block the muzzle of the gun immediately. The second condition is It must be shot in the head with a gun, and the third one is able to kill more than five strong adult men with his bare hands.

With their current level of training to shoot down 2,000 rounds of bullets every year, even in the dark, the accuracy rate of a headshot within 50 meters can reach 80%.

With such terrifying strength, as long as they are not on a plain and open space, they can defeat a company, let alone members of the club.

Yin Jun did not worry about his own safety. As he walked, he looked at the crowd on the street with interest.

The life of Americans is naturally not as good as imagined.

Especially in a megacity like New York, the gap between rich and poor must be very large.

At night, tramps, homeless people, and poor people began to wander the streets, hoping to find something.

Especially the food.

Supermarkets in the United States usually close around 10 o'clock. After people inside have finished packing, around 10:30, the staff will put all the unsold food in bags and put them outside the back door of the store. , let those homeless people take it.

This humane approach allows many homeless people to get food, at least without starving to death.

The United States has various aids for these homeless people, but the various procedures are very complicated and there are restrictions, so many homeless people would rather come here to pick up leftovers that are about to expire. I don’t have to wait in line to get food to eat.

When Yin Jun passed by the back door of a large supermarket, he saw more than twenty homeless people grabbing food from five or six big black bags.

There was a thin man among them. He seemed to have grabbed something, but he was pushed and kicked several times. However, he struggled and crawled out and sat down for more than ten meters. On the street outside.

Yin Jun saw this scene from a distance. At that moment, he walked up to the homeless man and took another look at him.

This man is about thirty years old, typically Asian, and he doesn't look like a Korean or Japanese person, but looks more like a Chinese.

"Chinese?" Yin Jun stopped and asked harmoniously.

The man who was looking down and panting looked up and saw Yin Jun and the others.

Such a uniform team shocked the man, but because he heard the familiar hometown dialect, he still whispered in agreement: "Yes."

He held two sandwiches tightly in his hands, and then a 1-gallon bottle of milk. There were bruises on his hands and face, which were obviously injuries from robbing food just now.

Yin Jun thought for a while, then came over and sat next to him, also sitting on the edge of the street.

The man was shocked. He didn't expect that such a rich kid could sit on the street like him.

"You...do you have any orders?" The man hesitated and couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing, I just want to chat with you." Yin Jun looked at the homeless people who had dispersed across the street, "How many years have you been in the United States?"

"Three years," the man replied.

"How did you come here? What do you do in the country? Why do you want to come here?" The boy asked three questions in one breath.

"I was originally the director of a factory. A few years ago, my family pooled money to get a spot for inspection. Then I wanted to stay here and work for a few more years and earn money to use back home, so I went dark and stayed in New York. I have to work part-time. But jobs in New York are not easy to find. I can only wash dishes in restaurants or work as a coolie on the dock." The man may not have talked about this with anyone for a long time. The more he talked, the more he said, "I have saved money in the past few years. It's a little money, but considering how hard it is now, I don't dare to spend more. On weekdays, I go out at night to find some food, and take the leftovers to work the next day to eat. This way I save money on eating and drinking, which is quite good. OK."

It can be seen that this person is very respectable, otherwise he would not reveal his identity from the beginning.

Even in this difficult situation, he didn't want others to look down on him, even people he didn't know.

"Have many people like you come to the United States in recent years?" Yin Jun didn't say anything and just continued to ask.

"Why aren't there many? I know of thousands of them, scattered in this huge New York City." The man smiled bitterly, "With the relaxation of restrictions on studying abroad this year, there are many young people in my hometown who want to In the name of studying abroad, you have to borrow money to work and earn money for a few years, and then go home to let your family live a good life... But they don’t know that it’s hard in the United States! It’s hard!”

When he said the last word "bitter", the man's voice dropped inexplicably.
