71. Farm home
Returning to Los Angeles means everything is back on track.
Lin Feng will devote himself to the training of the new season. The team will hold its first joint training at the end of July. Everyone will be present. It will be the first collective appearance of the fifteen members of the Lakers.
He has been preparing for this joint training and laying the foundation for the new season.
As for the big house, Lin Feng's original plan was to buy a two-story villa with a yard in the suburbs, which was more than enough for the three of them.
In the end, he spent $230,000 to buy a family farm. Andrew's adoptive father loved animals, and the large grasslands helped purify the air.
Evelyn thought that running the farm would bring in income so that she could help her father with farm work at home.
"Okay, okay, I don't have any objection, as long as you are happy."
Lin Feng doesn't mind running to the farm every day after get off work. He can raise a few horses by then, and riding fast on the open grass is also a good choice.
In this way, the "Smith Family Farm", a beef business, was born on the grassland outside Los Angeles.
The main building of the farm is a two-story villa, surrounded by cowsheds, fodder rooms, and a large water tower more than ten meters high.
It is of high quality and low price, and the surrounding environment is quite good. I only spent 200,000 US dollars to get a large piece of land.
It's just a little far away from downtown Los Angeles, about an hour by car.
This requires putting car buying on the agenda. Commuting in the countryside requires a muscle car, and the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is definitely the best choice.
In order to facilitate the daily travel of the adoptive father, a Raptor pickup truck is also equipped, which can both load cargo and carry people, which is very practical.
The top price is 200,000 dollars, and the Mercedes-Benz G G can be driven home.
After receiving the bonus for betting on Leonard, Lin Feng went directly to the Mercedes-Benz store to pick up a current car.
The ride home was very exciting. Evelin got used to sitting in the passenger seat while her adoptive father sat in the back seat and enjoyed the scenery.
The performance of the Big G is much more powerful than the shabby Ford in New York. A few days ago, Lin Feng tried his best to persuade his sister to sell the shabby car for 300 dollars.
At that time, Evelin seemed to have just experienced a miscarriage. When she looked up at the sky, tears streaked across her eyes.
It wasn't until she sat in the big leather seat that Evelin understood what a "car" was.
The farm was bought ready-made, and you could move in and slaughter the cattle and sell the meat. The original owner planned to return to his hometown in Montana, so he sold his farm at a low price.
After coming out of the 4S store, Lin Feng took his adoptive father and Evelin to the mall. From New York to Los Angeles, it was a new start in a new environment, buying a few new sets of clothes, etc., and having a new atmosphere.
Going home in the evening, they spent their first night on the farm.
The suburbs of Los Angeles are very quiet, not as noisy as big cities. They ate barbecue and drank beer in the yard, which felt great.
Cows brayed from the cowshed not far away. Thirty cows were kept free during the day and put into the cowshed at night. They were easy to manage.
The adoptive father and Evelin can basically keep busy.
Originally planning to invite the Perkins brothers and sisters, Lin Feng wanted to know how they were doing, but Lao Pa wanted to take Chloe to a movie tonight.
Being able to watch movies shows that Chloe has adapted well and did not yell because she was away from drugs.
But she has always been a timed person, and it will definitely be a troublesome day when it breaks out. Fortunately, Chloe doesn't seem to be very dependent on drugs.
In the new season, due to the addition of James, the price of the team's home game tickets has skyrocketed, with the cheapest season ticket soaring from US$3,499 to US$5,800.
Lin Feng regretted not hoarding a few season tickets before James joined. At least he wanted to ensure that his father and stepsister could be there to see him in action.
Fortunately, Kawhi Leonard made him a fortune, which is nothing.
Currently, the Lakers' average home ticket price for the new season is US$444, ranking second in the league, second only to the defending champion Warriors' US$463, and much higher than the third-placed Knicks.
Needless to say, Staples courtside tickets are something you can't buy even if you have money. Naturally, a little guy like Raymond Lam can't afford them.
Among the season tickets he could buy, the one closest to the front was in the eighth row. It was not far from the stadium, and the location was not bad.
Two season tickets cost 120,000 U.S. dollars. This price can buy a house in a third-tier city in China.
Lin Feng calculated his assets, excluding all expenses. He currently has about 1.3 million US dollars on hand, and a monthly salary of 80,000, which is not bad.
Not as good as the league's superstars, but already living a much better life than ordinary people.
"Sister, I bought tickets for you and your father. From now on, you can go to Staples every home night to watch me play."
Lin Feng felt proud and proud.
Evelin said quietly: "Watch a water fountain attendant waving a towel?"
Lin Feng was so angry that the amiable old lady was gone.
"Hey, hey, have some confidence in your brother. I am the player that James praised in Las Vegas. I will definitely have a place in the Lakers' rotation in the new season. Then you can tell the fans around you that that is me.
Brother! Isn’t it very honorable?”
Lin Feng longs for family love and hopes to see his elder sister cheering for him on the court.
Of course, Evelin is just a talker. She will definitely drive her father to Staples on every home game day and go home with Lin Feng after the game. This is family.
As the team boss, James ended his vacation early and returned to training. There is no doubt that he has high expectations for the new season and hopes to make a name for himself in Los Angeles.
Not only to pave the way for Brownie's future, but also to silence those who mocked him.
Lin Feng contacted Perkins, hoping that he could join James' personal training team, which is full of big names, such as Leonard and Durant, who had just been traded to the Raptors, as well as Cavaliers young player Cedi Osman
.
Perkins thinks this is difficult, but he will try to contact LeBron's team to express Lin Feng's strong wishes.
Not everyone can train with him as they wish, and Lin Feng's outstanding performance in the summer split will be a stepping stone.
Now he is recovering well and can return to the court.
The new season is about to start. Every time he thinks about this, Lin Feng's heart beats loudly.
He is about to step onto a big stage where the world will focus, where there are many strong players, and he is looking forward to his position in the league.
Summer league is a thing of the past, let’s focus on the future.
He did what he should do during his summer vacation. Although it was a pity that he didn't arrange a vacation trip, it didn't matter. After making a name for himself, he would have more free time and money.
When asked about Chloe's condition, Perkins said she was doing well and was behaving well.
"I plan to let her work with me, which can help Chloe return to society. As for the drug attack, I can't say, I can only wait for that moment to come and then think of a solution."
Perkins' agency is preparing to attack the league, and it is said that he has become extremely close to a somewhat famous player through his personal charm.
The player had just fired his agent and was looking for a new player who would play by the rules.
Because the previous broker transferred assets behind his back, this is a very serious economic case.
Perkins took the initiative to contact the player for some days. At present, the two parties have preliminary intentions, but the final decision is still missing.
Chapter completed!
