After receiving a bonus of 1000 million US dollars.

Li Senlin took half of it to the foundation that Jerry got to let him continue to build schools and basketball courts.

With the increase of wealth and status, Li Senlin became more and more aware of his responsibility.

Li Senlin has been in the United States all year round, and he is well aware of foreigners' impressions of China.

Li Senlin is very patriotic. If he is capable, he is willing to help his motherland become stronger.

Investing in education and giving teenagers a positive and good idol incentive are some of the things he can do.

Li Senlin doesn't know how to change many things, he can only do his best.

It benefits the life and death of the country.

Before Li Senlin entered the NBA, when he encountered racial discrimination and unfair treatment, he already understood this sentence.

After the trip to South Africa.

Li Senlin went to England first.

Accompanied by Liverpool chairman Tom Werner and a group of management, minority shareholder Li Senlin visited the Liverpool club.

Li Senlin suggested that Tom Werner can investigate Chinese players, and it is best to introduce one or two Chinese players to try, such as Dong Fangzhuo, Zhang Linpeng and so on.

Li Senlin was worried about the Chinese men's football team.

Tom Werner was very polite and said on the spot that he could take a look and introduce a few Chinese young football players to the Liverpool youth training team.

Well, Li Senlin is also very satisfied.

Chinese football.

Li Senlin did his best.

Subsequently.

Li Senlin and Lin Xiaolu came to London with a group of film crews and bodyguards, and started their official vacation life.

Lin Xiaolu is very business-minded. At the request of fans, the vacation life of the two of them was also filmed in a reality show.

Li Senlin said that it doesn't matter, the camera is nothing to the two of them, as long as Lin Xiaolu is happy.

On the first day, from the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben - Westminster Abbey - Royal Cavalry Parade - Wellington Arch - London Eye

The next day, St. Paul's Cathedral - London Transport Museum - State Dining Room - Royal Mews - Buckingham Palace - National Gallery

On the third day, Tower of London - Great Fire Memorial - Shakespeare's Globe - Tate Modern - HMS Belfast - Tower Bridge - Charing Cross Road - Musical Les Misérables.

Rest on the fourth day.

On the fifth day, the two went to Paris, France.

In Paris in July, there is also a charming and romantic style everywhere, under the bright sunshine.

Li Senlin's French proficiency is very good.

Li Senlin and Lin Xiaolu's footprints were printed in Notre Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, Invalides, the Eiffel Tower, and the Arc de Triomphe.

Paris is a city worth savoring, from the famous Eiffel Tower to the historic city; from the Louvre, the palace of art, to Montmartre, the street of artists; ; From a shopping paradise to exquisite French cuisine; from romantic Huadu to corner cafes.

Li Senlin had a great time with Lin Xiaolu.

Then came Nice and Marseille.

Venice, Rome, Milan, Italy.

Munich, Germany.

Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Spain.

Li Senlin occasionally meets some stars in the football, basketball, investment, and film and television industries, and Li Senlin will come over to take a few group photos.

The European trip took a full 24 days.

Li Senlin and Lin Xiaolu traveled to 8 countries including Britain, France, Italy, Russia, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Germany, and Spain.

In the end, even Li Senlin, a physically strong man among ordinary people, felt tired, so the two returned to Li Senlin's home in China.

Parents have been reluctant to leave the original community, so Li Senlin had to send two bodyguards for 24-hour protection.

After Li Senlin's parents saw Li Senlin coming back with his girlfriend, the two old people were very happy.

As Li Senlin's status and prestige increased, and his money increased, the two elderly people were most worried that Li Senlin would learn to be bad.

Lin Xiaolu's discipline of Li Senlin made Li Senlin's parents feel very at ease.

Lin Xiaolu's Chinese and the Chinese dishes she cooks also give her a lot of points in front of Li Senlin's parents.

Soon, Lin Xiaolu and Li Senlin called their parents instead of uncles and aunts.

Li's father and Li's mother were very worried that Li Senlin would mess with black girls and white girls, and now Lin Xiaolu's appearance relieved them of this worry.

Guangzhou!

A day in late August.

Lin Xiaolu was resting at home. She felt very tired after returning from a trip to Europe.

Durant and Collison came to Guangzhou for a "China trip."

Since the earliest Washington Bullets came to China to play exhibition games (1979).

The NBA "China Tour" has gone through more than 30 years.

About 30 NBA players come to China every summer, and this year is no exception.

The purpose of NBA players coming to China is mainly divided into three categories: participating in NBA league activities, participating in sponsor promotional activities and participating in commercial exhibition games. In short, they all come for fame and fortune.

There are huge differences in the "appearance fees" of different players coming to China.

Players at the level of Kobe and James come to China, and the "appearance fee" can be close to 200 million yuan, and the subsidy for participating in an event is between 300 million and [-] million yuan.

During the peak period of Scola, the security cost of the China trip was only 10 yuan;

However, relatively small players such as Artest and Carl Landry won't get a penny.

The reason why these players can't get money is that they come to China "just to fulfill a certain clause in the contract."

When some Chinese businesses sign NBA players, they often have an additional clause: to come to China at least once every summer.

Although the remuneration is different, the purpose of the players coming to China is the same, and the "China trip" is part of the business.

Whether you are a big coffee or a small coffee, to some extent determines what kind of treatment you enjoy in China.

In the early summer of 2004, Jordan visited China, which was extravagant and mysterious.

His Majesty the Flying Man flew to Beijing on a special plane from Nike, ate food that was airlifted from Italy, and stayed in a six-star luxury hotel that cost about 5000 US dollars a night. During the three days he stayed in mainland China, he rarely made public show up.

That time, Jordan brought 10 bodyguards alone.

When attending a new sneaker launch in Orlando or Miami, Jordan usually brings 4 bodyguards. In New York, he can chat with fans for 2 minutes on the spot "Why didn't he go to the Knicks in 1995".

But in China.

Jordan became extremely mysterious. According to the original plan, Jordan should "meet" Chinese fans at the Dongdan basketball court, but he finally canceled the event, which made countless Chinese fans who came from all over the world heartbroken. Burn the number 23 jersey.

After Jordan, superstars such as Kobe and James also came to China one after another. They still enjoy the top treatment of round-trip planes, luxury hotels, and high-end meals. The daily travel "stipend" is also a lot of money. Even Tracy McGrady, who is generally popular in the United States, came to China Can enjoy the treatment of deputy ministers.

But in the past two years, China has produced a Li Senlin, which has affected the status of these stars in China. .

Fans don't need to worship these superstars blindly.

There is only one country.

Occasionally, Li Senlin would go grocery shopping with Lin Xiaolu, take the subway, and get close to the ground. It was very lively at first, but the people around Li Senlin's house gradually got used to it.

The existence of Li Senlin made fans feel that the stars are not too mysterious.

In Lin Xiaolu's program, there are often scenes of Li Senlin bragging with the big stars. Invisibly, the force of these stars has also been reduced a lot.

Stars who are too young to come to China don’t dare to be too presumptuous, otherwise they will be scolded by Chinese reporters, how many points can Li Senlin score on you?Artest, can you beat Li Senlin?

That scene will be somewhat embarrassing.

Nike officials learned that Li Senlin also returned to Guangzhou from Europe.

They also asked Li Senlin to be a guest together. .

So Durant and Li Senlin, two Nike superstars, met at the Nike store in Guangzhou.

Two people play bullfight.

The big score was a 1-1 draw.

Without letting the fans know who wins and who loses, it is impossible for Nike officials to favor one over the other.

Then the two went to Huanong and other two universities.

As the scoring leader in the new division, Durant is considered a super giant, and his popularity is naturally not low.

Li Senlin is also a local super giant, and his popularity stabilizes Durant.

Crowds of people.

Durant doesn't care about these, what he cares about is Li Senlin's arrangements for the evening.

Durant and Collison temporarily changed their itinerary to Guangzhou because Li Senlin once told them that there are many interesting places in Dongguan. The lewd smile on Li Senlin's face at that time made them remember deeply.

They took advantage of Li Senlin to return to Guangzhou, so the two of them also changed their schedule and came here to meet up.

After the event, the two asked Li Senlin to take them to Dongguan.

As the host, Li Senlin had no choice but to agree to it in order to fulfill the awesomeness he once boasted.

Then Li Senlin secretly called Ah Lian for help while using the toilet.

Li Senlin has never been to Dongguan.

Now I have to find someone to arrange it.

Dongguan is Yi Jianlian's territory.

As soon as the phone is dialed.

"Brother Lian, what are the fun places in Dongguan? Durant and Collison are here. I want to make arrangements."

"Lin, you can do it. We trained hard at the World Championships in Turkey, but you are so good."

"Come on, I'm not interested in that kind of military training competition. I'm exhausted playing in the finals. Hurry up, where can I arrange it?"

"I don't know either. In this case, Zhu Fangyu is there. I will ask him to greet you. He must know."

"OK!"

Came to Dongguan.

very smooth.

Li Senlin led two Yankees who came to Dongguan admiringly and met the landlord Zhu Fangyu.

Li Senlin hinted that Zhu Fangyu, who answered Yi Jianlian's call, said he understood, and he knew where there was something mysterious and fun.

After Li Senlin accompanied Durant and Collison, he handed him over to Lao Zhu.

Li Senlin, a health care provider, doesn't want to play.

Americans have strong resistance and should not be infected or anything.

…………

the next day.

Li Senlin set off from Guangzhou early to Dongguan to pick up the two and send them to Baiyun International Airport.

Say 88 to two soft-footed Yankees.

…………

Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly ticket.
