Chapter 173 172: Don't give face?
At the end of the game, a series of media conferences and other procedures have also been completed one by one.
The night is late.
NBA-level games are very energy-consuming, so the team has prepared energy-enhancing food for the players after the game.
"Hi, Mr. Cole."
The Suns players met team manager Kerr on the way to dinner.
"Guys, congratulations on another win,"
Cole sat there, as if he had been waiting for a long time, he stood up and greeted everyone.
"Especially you, Amari, I heard that you broke your own scoring record in a single quarter." Cole looked at Stoudemire with a smile.
"Haha." Xiao Si laughed loudly: "Thanks to Lin."
Cole also smiled when he heard this.
"What's the matter Cole?" Coach Erwin asked.
Cole laughed: "Go to Blue for dinner today, everyone on the team."
Blue is one of the top high-end restaurants in Phoenix, with a per capita consumption of over [-] yuan.
Even for NBA-level players, except for super giants like Stoudemire and Nash, others rarely have the opportunity to eat in such a place.
"Mr. Cole, is there anything good to celebrate today?!"
Stoudemire asked with a smile.
"Haha." Cole smiled lightly and said, "It's not my treat, it's Mr. Dawson's treat."
As Cole's voice fell, Dawson came out from the corner, and greeted everyone with a benevolent smile: "Heroes of the Phoenix Suns, hello."
"Mr. Dawson!"
The players were taken aback.
Although they met Dawson for the first time in reality, it is naturally impossible for them not to know such a super capitalist.
'What the hell, it's that old thing again! ! Seeing Dawson, Lin Feidu couldn't help cursing secretly.
Last time this old guy called to ask him to make a movie about kung fu and basketball, but he rejected him. Lin Feidu had a hunch that this old man came here for this matter this time.
"Originally, when Mr. Dawson came to our Phoenix, I was supposed to entertain him, but he arranged the place in advance, which made me, the host, at a loss as to what to do. I could only respect rather than obey." Mr. Cole explained with a smile, half saying To the players, and half to Dawson.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Dawson smiled and waved his hands like a benevolent old man.
At this time, his gaze slipped past Lin Feidu without a trace.
"Mr. Dawson is a fan of our Suns, so he wants to invite his family to dinner tonight. How about everyone having dinner together tonight?!" Cole looked at everyone with a smile.
NBA teams have some group activities from time to time, such as common dinners and so on.
This group activity can increase team cohesion.
Every team has similar activities from time to time, and so does the Suns, which is very common.
Generally speaking, the team will ask everyone to participate, and the players also volunteer to participate.
After all, no one wants to be separated from the group.
The NBA team is a small society. If you want to adapt, you must first integrate into it.
"Okay!"
All the players raised their arms to respond to Cole and Dawson.
"Okay!" Lin Feidu hated this old thing in his heart, but in front of so many people in the team, he raised his arms to respond with everyone.
Surface work still needs to be done, and it is still unclear why Dawson is here and what relationship he has with Cole.
Go with the flow until you figure it out.
"Ha ha……"
Dawson looked at everyone with a smile on his face, he glanced at Lin Feidu again without any trace, and said in his heart: "Boy, let's get into the routine slowly."
……
Blue restaurant!
Best restaurant in Phoenix!
Birds and flowers.
The uniqueness of this restaurant is that the interior decoration is like a fairyland forest.
Giant trees soared into the sky and extended from the roof.
There are rockery and stone walls.
There are fountains tinkling.
In the middle of a fairyland-like platform, several beautiful girls surrounded by bright flowers on their heads, dressed like mythological characters in ancient Greece, are performing silent dances.
Their bodies move with the sound of the fountain, which is wonderful.
"The top restaurant in Phoenix is just different." Everyone in the Suns ate and drank happily, and several low-paid substitutes couldn't help shouting loudly after drinking too much.
These substitutes are usually considered rich, but in front of Dawson's top capital, their level is still too low.
"Ha." Dawson always had a benevolent smile on his face: "Young people, eat more, don't be polite. It's really hard for you to play such intense games every day."
"Mr. Dawson is really kind and pleasant." Seeing Dawson's considerate appearance, even Stoudemire couldn't help feeling excited.
"Haha." Dawson smiled.
The crowd continued to eat and drink.
"What's the relationship between Cole and this guy?"
Seeing Cole sitting beside Dawson as a companion, Lin Feidu couldn't figure out the relationship between them for a while.
Should Cole not be familiar with Dawson?
It seemed to be quite familiar again, the two toasted and drank non-stop, it seemed that they were extremely happy to see each other.
To say that the two of them are really familiar, right?
But it's not like that. The two of them felt a great sense of alienation when they were pushing glasses and changing glasses. If they were really acquaintances for a long time, they would not be so polite when drinking. Yes, the relationship between the two is too polite. .
"The two should have known each other not long ago, and they may have just negotiated some kind of cooperation."
After all, Lin Feidu was used to drinking games in his previous life, so he can analyze some situations with a high probability.
Just in the middle of a meal—
Cole got up: "Mr. Dawson, I'm going to the bathroom, excuse me."
"Okay, okay." Dawson smiled and nodded.
After Cole walked out of the room, Lin Feidu stood up and said with a smile, "I drank too much water." He followed Cole to the toilet.
"Lin, how's the food?" Cole asked with a smile when he saw Lin Feidu follow him in the bathroom.
"Yeah, good." Lin Feidu really didn't have the mood to talk about food in the bathroom.
He stands beside Cole.
"Mr. Cole, it seems that you are very familiar with Mr. Dawson. You have known each other for a long time." Lin Feidu pretended to be casual and asked.
"Ha." Cole smiled: "I've heard about Mr. Dawson's name in the capital world for a long time, but today is also the first time I've seen him."
Cole turned to wash his hands at this moment, he was a little drunk.
However, as a professional manager, even when he was drunk, he would not talk much.
So he just said that it was the first time he met Dawson, and he didn't say anything else.
And if it wasn't for Lin Feidu who asked him, or someone else asked him this question, he wouldn't even know how to do it.
"It's our first time meeting!"
With Lin Feidu's wisdom, he didn't need the other party to say much, he already understood what was going on.
It should be that Dawson came to discuss some business cooperation with Cole.
Lin Feidu didn't plan to talk about the specifics. A person like Cole is not something ordinary people can use.
But it's probably enough to know this information.
……
When returning to the wine table——
Obviously, when people from country M drink together, they all toast and drink together.
But now at the wine table, it was found that the Suns players were toasting Dawson one by one.
Lin Feidu was surprised. Under what circumstances, it would be reasonable to drink like this in Hua Country, so how could it be done in M Country? !
"Mr. Dawson said that he often goes on business trips to Huaguo and likes the wine culture of Huaguo very much, so he wants to have a drink with us one by one." Nash on the side saw the doubts in Lin Feidu's heart and explained in a low voice .
"When I was young, I liked Russian spirits the most, but now that I am older, my liver is not very good. You can drink as much as you want, and everyone can drink as much as you want." Dawson said to the crowd.
"Mr. Dawson, you can do whatever you want." The Suns players said.
All the players drank with Dawson one by one.
"This old fox, other people take a big mouthful. He's really casual, just moistening his lips." Lin Feidu glanced at Dawson.
Not long after, the drinking turned to Lin Feidu.
"Guji Guji." Lin Feidu inserted a piece of steak covered with fragrant sauce into his mouth with a fork, and chewed carefully with his eyes closed.
He had been chewing on the steak for far too long.
Nash, who was sitting by the side, couldn't help but tap Lin Feidu lightly with his knee.
"Forest."
"Forest."
"It's time for you to drink with Mr. Dawson."
Nash picked up a fork and put a golden shrimp tail in front of his mouth, reminding Lin Feidu in a low voice.
"Ah." Lin Feidu looked like he had just woken up from a dream. He picked up the wine glass and said to Dawson, "Mr. Dawson, I respect you."
Lin Feidu hated this guy in front of him from the bottom of his heart, so he deliberately left him alone just now.
But after Nash reminded him, he could no longer pretend. After all, Nash is the big brother, and he still has to give Nash the face that should be given.
"Haha, Lin is the youngest player in our team and has a relatively introverted personality." Seeing that Dawson was left alone by Lin Feidu just now, Cole felt a little awkward in the atmosphere, so he smiled and smoothed things over.
'Introverted? ! ' Dawson sneered from the bottom of his heart.Judging from his two previous contacts with Lin Feidu, he didn't think this kid was an introvert.
The opponent's strength and arrogance left a very deep impression in his heart.
"Haha." Dawson said with a smile, "It's not the first time Lin and I have met."
"Oh?!" Everyone was a little surprised.
Dawson is a top capitalist in the celebrity circle. Even if they are NBA superstars, they have never met people of this level.
But Lin Feidu has just come to the NBA. Since he has an intersection with top capital like Dawson, everyone is surprised.
"Ha." Lin Feidu nodded with a smile: "The last time Jackie Chan asked me out for tea, I happened to meet Mr. Dawson that time."
"So that's how it is." Everyone suddenly realized.
Everyone knows that Jackie Chan met with Lin Feidu.
Jackie Chan is an international superstar in Hollywood, and Mr. Dawson's capital power is mainly concentrated in Hollywood, so it makes sense for Lin Feidu to have an intersection with Mr. Dawson through Jackie Chan.
"I especially like Huaguo Kung Fu." Dawson said, wiping it under his nose like an old urchin.
Everyone laughed.
"So after I met Lin for the first time, I called Lin a few nights ago, and wanted to invite him to make a movie that combines Kung Fu and basketball." Dawson said with a smile.
"Wow."
Stoudemire and the others were surprised at first, then looked at Lin Feidu with a smile and congratulated: "Lin, it seems that you are going to be the first player of our team to break into Hollywood."
For NBA players, being able to enter Hollywood is an amazing thing.
Throughout the long history of the NBA, there are only a handful of players who can go to Hollywood to film, and all of them are the top existence in the NBA at that time.
Let's just talk about the Suns. Even though Stoudemire and Nash are superstars, they have never made a Hollywood movie.
"Hehe." Lin Feidu smiled, but didn't say anything.
Dawson also did not say that Lin Feidu rejected his invitation.
For an old fox like Dawson, he just clicked on it, and he didn't come to find fault today, so he didn't need to talk too much.
"Lin, I especially like Huaguo. In the past, I often traveled to Huaguo. Jackie Chan is one of my best friends. He would take me to beautiful places in Huaguo and eat Huaguo food. Food, Huaguo..." Dawson began to talk a lot.
'The last time I set a trap on Jackie Chan, I'm ashamed to say that it's one of your best friends.fuck you! 'Lin Feidu really dislikes this old fox in front of him.
"So I am very yearning for the country of Huaguo, and I love the people of Huaguo very much." Dawson said, raising his glass: "Lin, let's have a few drinks alone. Seeing you reminds me of my youth. Those lovely people I met in Huaguo when I was young, drink!"
It seemed that the love was at its height, and Dawson raised his head and drank the full red wine in the glass.
Everyone was surprised when they saw this.
Up to now, Dawson has been moistening his lips little by little, but now it is obvious that he is emotional, and he actually takes a sip.
And after putting down the cup, Dawson was still muttering: "My feelings for Hua Guo are very deep, very deep..."
"This old thing..." Not to mention the surprise of the others, even Lin Feidu, who knew Sen was a sinister old fox, was a little stunned.
'Are you playing with me? ! '
For a while, Lin Feidu really didn't know what the other party was up to.
"drink!"
But seeing that the other party drank it all in one gulp, he couldn't remain indifferent, so he responded with a smile and raised his glass——
Moisturized lips...
"This..." Everyone in the Suns team was surprised by Lin Feidu's action of moisturizing his lips.
Dawson is the top capital tycoon in country M.
It is the existence of an incomparably rich country.
Many ordinary people don't know how awesome the existence of country M's capital tycoons is.
But those NBA players who belong to the upper class know it.
These bigwigs can influence the existence of the presidential election.
It can even be said that behind the presidential election is actually the investment and gaming of these capital tycoons.
Dawson, like this, looks inconspicuous, and seems to be just a rich old man, but in fact, he has great power, and they can easily sanction people they don't like.
Compared with ordinary people, NBA stars are rich people who look up to, but in front of people like Dawson, they are just small shrimps.
Lin Feidu's current behavior is too disrespectful to Dawson! ! !
