Chapter 74: 74. Superstar's Gift
Chapter 74: 74. Superstar's gift
"Ace? Sorry I don't know him."
"But I clearly saw you chatting during the parent-child activity that day!"
"Oh, Mr. Sethby, I'm Dinah's teacher, and Ace is Dinah's godfather. Of course we knew each other when Ace came to pick her up, but I don't know him well. You can ask other Teacher, they might know Ace."
"Wait, Miss Alexia..."
Alexia can run much faster than a 50-year-old bad guy, and it's probably the first time in her life that she thinks flat shoes are so good.
When they arrived at the school gate, Alexia took Dinah who was waiting for someone to pick her up and left, then walked to the parking lot of a park near the school.
"Uncle! If you don't come to pick up Dinah at the school gate today, Dinah has gone so far!" Little Lori complained as soon as she saw Liu Mang.
"Teacher Aida told me to stay away. She said that paparazzi came to your school and chased them into the school." Liu Mang picked up Dinah who had "I'm so tired and I want to hug" written all over her face.
"That's right, Dinah, didn't you see that wretched old man has been following me after class? Fortunately, the school stipulates that high heels cannot be passed on, otherwise we wouldn't be able to escape. Your uncle is a big star, so he can't be interviewed by paparazzi casually." Alexia really took that bald man as a paparazzi.
"The paparazzi is so annoying!" Little Lolita Dinah said angrily, and it was rare for her to have the same idea as Alexia.
If the bald uncle named Sethby, who was running out of breath and lost him, heard the conversation between the three, he would definitely die of anger.
Your paparazzi society invites people in their 50s to be paparazzi?
Your paparazzi has the money to send your daughter to such an elementary school?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the paparazzi is not so reliable.
But women are very sensitive to looks. Uncle Sethby the bald man doesn't look like a good person, and artists are not slovenly.
And Liu Mang listened to what others said, so he naturally heard what he heard, and it was not a big deal, and it was normal for paparazzi to stare at him now.
After a three-day break, the Hawks host the visiting Miami Heat for the final of three straight home games tonight.
Who wouldn't want free tickets, and who wouldn't want someone to help take care of the children? The beautiful landlady threw Dinah to Liu Mang, and he watched the local TV live at home, so Liu Mang called Alexia to watch the game together, but Alexia said that there was a strange event in the school. The wretched old man has been looking for him at the school for the past two days, and he doesn't seem like a good person. He asked Liu Mang to wait for her to bring Dinah out in the parking lot of the park, so as not to be entangled.
A group of three left in an off-road vehicle borrowed by the beautiful landlord, leaving behind the bald uncle who was still messy in the elementary school...
...
...
"What is this? Could it be some tricky box?" Liu Mang looked at the beautifully packaged box handed over by Emmanuel and didn't reach out to pick it up.
Americans always do some weird things, and we have to guard against them in everything.
"Don't worry, rookie, this is given to you by that iron man of the Heat team, maybe it's a mobile phone? I also received it back then." Jason Terry looked unhappy, probably feeling that he was "ashamed" to be with Liu Mang. For company.
Liu Mang opened it and saw that it was indeed a mobile phone.
This... a brand of deep nostalgia, Liu Mang thought of a song that he seemed to have heard in the Spring Festival Gala: I have a Nokia in my left hand and a Motorola in my right hand...
Liu Mang doesn’t have a mobile phone yet. The first reason is that the current communication business is underdeveloped, and the United States has anti-monopoly laws. The more than a dozen communication companies in the United States are like their deadly rivals. They will never share their communication base stations with each other. Many times the signal is extremely low. Poor, far less convenient than a landline at home or a public phone booth on the roadside.
Second, there is no money. Liu Mang had no money to buy before time travel, and it was not yet the day to pay his salary. After time travel, he knew that after the 3G technology in Europe, America and other countries began to operate in 2002, when the demand for signals could not be met, the skyrocketed The number of customers, those communication companies have only started to connect with each other, the cost of communication operations will be greatly reduced, and mobile phones will become popular, and there will be a cliff-like price drop, from thousands of dollars to hundreds of dollars. You can buy a good phone.
What's more, the communication quality of the new mobile phone with mixed operation of 3G and 2G has made a qualitative leap. Buying it now is a big mistake. At this time, spend thousands of dollars to buy a mobile phone? Can kill Liu Mang!
Moto V60, I miss Liu Mang so much! He remembered that he only got his first second-hand mobile phone in 2008, and he bought it from a second-hand mobile phone waste disposal station for 100 oceans because he had to live on campus. The quality of mobile phones in the era of non-smart phones is good, not just Nokia You can smash walnuts, and most non-smart phones are hard to break after years of use.
However, the tough guy Jason Terry is talking about should be kidney fighter Alonzo Mourning, right?
Liu Mang recalled it for a while, and he really didn't know Mourning, and he had never met him.
Seeing Liu Mang's doubts, Emmanuel said: "I heard that Mourning is a very enthusiastic person, and he takes great care of the juniors he is optimistic about. Usually, he will give some gifts when we meet for the first time. Ace, your future It’s a star, so I can’t do it anymore, Mourning didn’t even know my name when I didn’t find you and asked me to help bring it to you…”
Hearing Emmanuel's sour tone, Liu Mang rolled his eyes at him: "It's not like you don't have a mobile phone!"
"Can the one I bought be the same as the one given by the superstar?"
"The phone call sent by the superstar is not to use roar."
"That's right..."
Well, that's it. It's best to talk to a person with a personality like Emmanuel who is as jumpy as he is, and he can take the rhythm off casually, not as difficult to deal with as Jason Terry.
A gift from a superstar!
Although Liu Mang didn't like the mobile phones of this era at all, they still had blue and white screens, but he put them back in the box and put them in the dressing room.
A cell phone is better than nothing, right? Even if you don't want to use it, you can give it to Dinah!
But it seems that he will lose it if he gives it to Dinah, Liu Mang feels a little bit at a disadvantage, how can the little loli have her own.
But it's so expensive to buy one! When those mobile phone companies want to change the mobile phone from the high-end market to something that ordinary people can afford and start to capture the world of mobile phones for all mankind, the mobile phone will be as cheap as one-tenth of the current price.
Or those superstars! Buying a mobile phone is not as good as going to a nightclub to spend the money...
Thinking of this, Liu Mang remembered a face, a face that he would normally punch if he saw it.
This is probably the first time Liu Mang took the initiative to talk to Jason Terry.
Liu Mang changed into his training clothes, went to the physiotherapy room, and deliberately picked a bed next to Jason Terry for the trainer to do stretching.
"Boss Jason, Thanksgiving is coming soon!" Liu Mang reminded.
"What's the matter, rookie? Can't even read the calendar? November 23rd! We went to Detroit to play the Pistons that day." Jason Terry and Liu Mang always spoke so aggressively.
Liu Mang was impatient, but he endured it! A small leak will sink a great ship!
"Of course I know. I heard that Francis, the star of the Rockets, gave his teammates a Nokia mobile phone as a Thanksgiving gift..." Liu Mang said pointedly.
Hearing the name Francis, Jason Terry was not calm all of a sudden. In his opinion, Francis was his "enemy for life".
"Hmph, what good things can that fellow Francis give you, Nokia? Who would use that kind of soft European brand? Of course, if you want to use it, use our American brand. I... I have already bought a Thanksgiving gift, and I will use it after the game." Give it to you!"
Nokia’s mobile phone Xiaofeng is still in use. In 2006, I was going to live in school to study in junior high school. My mother bought it and it is convenient to contact. It has no other functions except calling and texting and eating snakes. I didn’t expect it to still be there 11 years later. Yes, the card issued by the company is enough to make calls... So, there are early signs of Nokia's bankruptcy.
Well, I'm asking for a recommendation ticket again.
