Chapter 217: What if I have a guilty conscience?

8.8 million.

The final amount of this basketball is fixed at this number that makes the whole audience incredible and the national media exclaim.

Although the national people know that the salary of NBA players is high, they have known it since the Yao Ming era. However, they still didn't expect that a small basketball could be exchanged for such a quantity of US dollars.

This is another time the NBA shows its hegemonic position in the commercial market to the domestic public.

Interestingly, Jackie Chan's son said very frustratedly when interviewed: "If my phone hadn't dropped the line, this basketball should have been bought by me for my friend. He was willing to pay 1.4 million USD, exceeding 10 million RMB."

The price of 8.8 million topped all auction items that night, and this unreached 10 million made people's eyes fall.

Fan Xi's name resounded through the Shenzhou land again, and everyone had a more intuitive and sober understanding of his commercial value.

"I don't care how valuable that ball is. What makes me happy is that the staff told me that this money can allow children in a county to eat free lunch for two semesters."

"This gave me a huge shock. I think this is the greatest significance of the buzzer-beater I hit at that time."

"I hope to get back more such basketballs in the future. I believe I can do it."

Fan Xi said this when accepting the interview.

And his agent, Mr. Lu Yuan, subsequently stated: "I envy the person who auctioned this basketball. He earned a lot. Ten years later, twenty years later, you will find that this price is not outrageous at all, and even very cost-effective. He will make a lot of money because of this."

Lu Yuan's words made the media very confused. To be honest, they really felt that it was a bit of a "big head."

8.8 million to buy a basketball?

Winning the first prize of the welfare lottery twice, there is not so much after tax.

In fact, not only the people were shocked, but the stars at the scene were also very, very shocked. It is currently 2011, and the remuneration of top movie stars for a movie is about 15 million RMB, and it has not yet reached the era of box office soaring and capital crazy entry and astronomical remuneration.

And Fan Xi's small basketball auctioned for so much money. Listening to this movement, it seems that it can be sold for more.

This made Fan Xi get more enthusiastic chats when leaving the charity gala.

The entertainment industry all over the world is like this, it is a vanity fair. When you are glorious, everyone flatters you, and when you are down, most people stay away from you. In this regard, Hollywood is more realistic.

Fan Xi didn't chat with everyone for too long, and he and Liu Yifei left together.

This made the reporters at the scene have infinite reverie. Could it be that the famous Hollywood Duke and our Fairy Sister are going to have a scandal?

"Jack, you are very popular tonight. I see that many super first-line female stars want to add your contact information." In the car, Liu Yifei smiled, but used a slightly alienated tone to Fan Xi.

"I have no interest in them." Fan Xi answered very seriously. The smile on Liu Yifei's face increased visibly.

Moreover, Fan Xi also said very cautiously: "I am sitting in your car now, aren't you? Don't you want my contact information?"

This hit the Fairy Sister.

Fan Xi didn't specifically tease her, but girls just eat this set, and the Fairy Sister couldn't stop it.

"Then do you want my contact information?" Liu Yifei asked Fan Xi.

"Of course."

Then Liu Yifei took out her mobile phone and said: "I am using this app now, you can register one. WeChat. It is better to use than a phone."

Fan Xi handed his mobile phone to Liu Yifei, and Liu Yifei helped him download the software and helped him register.

Interestingly, when Liu Yifei registered the account ID, she used "l52f" by mistake.

Fan Xi didn't think much about it, just thought it was an ordinary account name. Just like that, this account name was branded on Fan Xi's communication account forever.

Fan Xi's nickname for himself is Xi.

Liu Yifei's nickname is Yi.

It's quite a spiritual tacit understanding.

After the two added friends, Liu Yifei taught Fan Xi how to use it. After Fan Xi used it, he felt it was particularly easy to use.

Then, he looked up and said to Lu Yuan: "Did you say before that I received advertisements in the country recently, and there are tens of millions in the account that I don't know how to use?"

"Buy me 10 million of this company's stock."

Fan Xi said to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan and Liu Yifei were stunned for a moment. Lu Yuan opened his laptop and searched for a while, saying: "If I remember correctly, earlier this year, we already bought 1 million USD of this company's stock."

"Continue to hold, and then increase by 10 million." Fan Xi said very decisively.

Lu Yuan quickly obeyed.

Liu Yifei on the side was stunned. She didn't expect Fan Xi to have such a reaction after using the app.

Then, she asked Fan Xi: "Is this company's stock really worth buying?"

"I think so." Fan Xi answered.

"Then I will buy a little bit too." Liu Yifei said.

The car moved forward.

As the distance to the hotel where the two stayed got closer and closer, Liu Yifei couldn't help but say: "So many reporters at the scene took pictures of us sitting in the same car. Are you afraid of scandals?"

Fan Xi felt a thump in his heart when he heard this. He had a good impression of the Fairy Sister, and it was quite surging.

But he restrained it very well.

He thought the Fairy Sister was afraid of being too deeply involved with himself. He couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, and his breathing became rapid. But the psychological quality of a top athlete made his breathing calm down quickly. He said: "What are you afraid of? As long as we have a clear conscience, let them spread whatever scandals they want."

*Ah? *

Liu Yifei exclaimed. She also felt a thick sense of loss in her heart. So you are "having a clear conscience" when you are with me.

What if I have a guilty conscience?

The Fairy Sister whispered in her heart.

The next day, Fan Xi really made the entertainment headlines of many domestic media. His basketball sold for 8.8 million RMB, which made the national people marvel. And his coming and going with Liu Yifei also made people feel that the Little Duke returned to his hometown and would fly together with the Fairy Sister from now on.

Liu Yifei's reputation in the country is very good, so when her name was linked to Fan Xi, many people were worried about Fan Xi's rumors abroad and worried about the Fairy Sister.

In the afternoon, Fan Xi held a sneaker launch conference at the hotel. This was his first time attending his own sneaker launch conference.

It shows his importance to the new color scheme of his signature shoes.

Because Fan Xi joined the Clippers, the color scheme of Fan Xi's sneakers quickly changed from purple and gold to blue and white.

Fan Xi also firmly stated at the press conference that the new sneakers would definitely make him climb to a higher peak.

Fan Xi's words revealed his firm confidence in the new season.

This is diametrically opposite to what the American basketball media predicted. Now, besides discussing the lockout, the American media is discussing the derby in Los Angeles next season.

The Lakers with Paul are considered to be able to soar into the sky soon, while Fan Xi, who stayed in the other team in Los Angeles, will quickly fade into the crowd.

Because the Clippers have long had a huge inertia of making stars dim.

Moreover, more and more basketball experts say that Fan Xi's success last season benefited from the Lakers platform and had nothing to do with his personal ability. Leaving this top platform, Fan Xi will be like those big company executives who jump ship to start their own businesses and get a nose full of ash.

Fan Xi stayed in Beijing for another week, and then took a flight to Los Angeles.

Before leaving, Fan Xi wanted to have a meal with Liu Yifei, but Liu Yifei went to Shanghai to shoot magazines.

Fan Xi looked very lost, and Liu Yifei on the other side of WeChat was also very depressed. However, she told Fan Xi that she would go to the United States during Christmas.

Because she grew up in the United States, she also has a house there.

When Fan Xi sat in his seat, Chen Ye next to him leaned over and said to Fan Xi: "Boss, do you miss the Fairy Sister very much now?"

Fan Xi rolled his eyes at him unpleasantly.

At this time, Lu Yuan ran over excitedly: "Boss, tell you a good news. There is new progress in the labor-management negotiations."

"What new progress?" Fan Xi asked.

"The Players Association opposes the capital's exploitation of rookie players, believing that rookie players taking rookie contracts is already a kind of harm. Why should they be exploited when renewing the second maximum salary contract? So now, they are formulating a clause to reward top rookies, allowing top rookies to get a starting salary of 30% of the salary cap when renewing."

Lu Yuan said: "I think it will be named after you. After all, there is no rookie more glorious than you recently. Fan Xi Clause, it sounds as majestic as the Bird Clause. Hahaha."

Lu Yuan was very excited.

Fan Xi was also very happy, but his greater hope was that the NBA lockout would end as soon as possible. If it really was endless and became a shortened season, although it was a huge opportunity for a young team like the Clippers, it might also be a huge trap.

Who can guarantee that the young people of the Clippers won't mess around during the offseason?

Fan Xi returned to Los Angeles this time. If there is a chance, he wants to talk to the young people of the team.

Of course, the premise is that he goes to the Clippers for a physical examination.

In fact, this trade has not been officially completed. If Fan Xi's physical examination does not pass, this trade will automatically fail.

Of course, the Clippers cannot refuse this trade.

Because the flight across the Pacific is very long, the flight from Beijing to Los Angeles will usually stop in Seoul, and while picking up a wave of guests, it will also make various supplements to the plane.

"Damn, the plane feels like a bus. Is the next stop going to Tokyo to stop again? Do passengers getting off get off from the back door, and passengers getting on get on from the front door?" Chen Ye complained full of complaints.

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he saw several beautiful figures, and he immediately became happy.

"Girl group! Girl group! Boss!"

He quickly turned around and shouted at Fan Xi to open his eyes.
