【1014】 Arrival together
After the Lakers won the 15-16 season championship with a complete victory record and set a series of historical records, all the Lakers players entered a vacation state, and they will enjoy a three-month vacation waiting for a reunion in September.
After the grand parade in Los Angeles, Lakers players put on their sunglasses and pulled their suitcases straight to Los Angeles Airport. From here, they will fly to resorts around the world to enjoy the sun, beaches and beauties.
However, Xiao Feng was unable to start his vacation as soon as possible. He would join the training camp of the Chinese national basketball team to prepare for the Rio Olympics two months later.
In addition, after more than seven months of fighting in the NBA, Xiao Feng has very little time to spend with his family. He just took this opportunity to spend more time with his family. What is that going on vacation?
………
On June 22, Los Angeles International Airport welcomed two special groups of tourists, and their arrival immediately stirred the reporters waiting outside the airport.
The Chinese men's basketball national team may not have much attraction to the international media, but when Xiao Feng announced his joining the Chinese national team after the finals and competed in the Rio Olympics, it became a highly-watched target.
Therefore, when Gong Luming led the Chinese national team to board the flight from China Airlines to Los Angeles from Peking to Los Angeles, the global media had already informed the news, and a large number of media rushed to the airport to wait for interviews.
Sure enough, when the national team appeared in the airport lobby, it immediately attracted the siege and interviews of many media reporters, and the scene was extremely lively.
Of course, the focus of the reporters' questions was on various situations after Xiao Feng joined the national team, including the goals of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympics, etc.!
In addition to some Chinese media, the reporters surrounding the Chinese men's basketball team also include mainstream media such as espn, the three major American TV networks, and the New York Times, which shows Xiao Feng's huge influence.
Since Yao Da Ge retired, this is the first time that the Chinese men's basketball team has encountered so many media overseas, and the players' expectations for Xiao Feng are getting stronger and stronger.
After all, Xiao Feng's performance in the NBA has completely exceeded the limit that Chinese players can reach. The players will not reject Xiao Feng. On the contrary, some young players will regard Xiao Feng as their idol. With Xiao Feng joining, the national team's performance in the Olympics will definitely improve. After all, he has completed the weakest link of the national team.
Outside the airport, Xiao Feng had already arranged a convoy to pick him up. With the assistance of the airport security guard, the Chinese men's basketball national team successfully boarded the bus and left the airport and went to the hotel where they were staying.
Seeing the departure of the Chinese men's basketball national team, the reporters on the scene did not follow. After all, this was just a small fish, and the big fish was still behind.
After 20 minutes, the "Mengyao" flew from Newcastle successfully landed. The reporters at the scene heard the notification from the airport concept broadcast system, and one and two were as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood.
Soon, the exit of the international VIP channel was squeezed out by reporters, and everyone was struggling to seize the advantageous position and wait for the protagonists to appear.
The new European triple-winning champion, even in the "Football Desert", still has enough weight, not to mention that this team is under Xiao Feng's name.
Anyone and thing that is involved in relationship with Xiao Feng can become the focus of the media, not to mention that Xiao Feng has announced that it will allow Newcastle United players to enjoy the luxurious journey of the "Ping An" as a reward for rewarding them.
When Alan Hiller and Beckham led all the members of the Newcastle United team, the coaching team and the logistics team members out of the airport passage, they were greeted with snow-white flashes connected together!
Newcastle United took Xiao Feng's "Meng Yao" to Los Angeles. According to convention, they could not take the passage. Xiao Feng could arrange a convoy to enter the airport to pick them up.
However, Newcastle United is now popular, and sponsors need them to appear in public as much as possible to increase exposure. So there was a Los Angeles Airport announcement, leaving the airport through the VIP channel, which surprised the reporters who were guarding outside the airport.
Seeing the main owner coming, the reporters suddenly became excited and flocked to him. The microphone Rulin almost poked his face. After all, this is England's second team to win the treble.
Looking at the entire European football world, only 7 teams won the honor of the triple crown 8 times, of which Barcelona, which was just defeated by Newcastle United in the Champions League final, was twice won the title.
The special identity of the Newcastle boss and the legendary team winning the triple crown have made this team a favorite of the media. They have been the limelight in Europe for a period of time.
Today is their first time to set foot on the North American continent as the "triple-champion". Major media in North America and even the global media attach great importance to it.
Seeing this situation, Alan Shearer, Xiaobei and others knew that it was impossible to get out easily, so they simply held a press conference in the airport hall under the arrangement of the airport to meet the various questions from the reporters.
"Thank you for your great support from the media friends!" As the team's external image spokesperson, Bei Bei made a final summary statement and said: "The past honors have become the past, and we will work harder to achieve more success in the future! The next summer is a time to reward the team. Please let us enjoy a perfect holiday!"
With countless flashes, all Newcastle members boarded the two buses Xiao Feng had arranged long ago to go to the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
Xiao Feng saw the scene of the men's basketball team and Newcastle United arriving at the Los Angeles airport through live news broadcast on the TV station at home, and he also apologized to everyone by phone.
After all, with Xiao Feng's current identity and news popularity, if he appears at the airport, he will inevitably have the slightest smell of being overwhelming, so he simply stayed in the "Dream Manor".
Unable to go to the airport to greet the team members in person, Xiao Feng decided to host a banquet in the "Dream Restaurant" tonight, and he would even cook a series of signature delicacies himself.
Since the opening of the "Fantasy Restaurant", it has become the best restaurant in Los Angeles, where customers can taste Chinese, Western, Japanese sushi and other delicacies. Moreover, Xiao Feng's celebrity effect has also added a halo to the restaurant.
The top ingredients provided by Jinghu Group and super delicious food from all over the world have laid the foundation for the food industry's food foundation. At the end of last year, the Michelin Food Guide designated the "Dream Restaurant" as a three-star restaurant, and it is also Chinese and Western food, which is a three-star restaurant. This is also the first restaurant in the world to be recognized for Chinese and Western cuisine.
For consumers who come to the "Dream Restaurant" to have a meal, it is not uncommon to spend thousands of dollars. After all, the lowest price of a bottle of "Xiaoshi Wine" is US$1,688. If it were exchanged for the precious wine from 5 years ago, the price doubled is just a small matter.
In addition to delicious food and wine, you can also enjoy an elegant environment, thoughtful service and complete privacy. There will be no paparazzi here; some lucky customers can even taste the delicious food cooked by Xiao Feng, the super star chef, which is an unexpected surprise.
However, as Xiao Feng began to fight in the NBA, he was able to appear in the restaurant kitchen less and less. Customers who could taste his skills were lucky, which became a story that everyone talked about.
All the elements make the "Fantasy Restaurant" the most popular restaurant in Los Angeles. Of course, because of its high consumption level, only a few people can afford it.
According to the photos taken by some paparazzi waiting at the entrance of the "Dream Manor", most of the consumers who appear in the "Dream Restaurant" come from Hollywood superstars, producers, directors and senior film companies. These are top figures in the entertainment industry in Hollywood and even the world. In addition, superstars active in the American entertainment industry and sports industry are also frequent visitors here. They drive various top luxury cars frequently and become beautiful scenery in Beverly Hills.
In addition to celebrities, most of the consumers who appear here are super rich people in America and even the world. After all, a meal that costs tens of thousands of dollars is not something that ordinary middle class can afford.
It is precisely because of this that in addition to the entertainment version, journalists waiting near the "Dream Manor" often appear in social and financial versions. Now this place has become a frequent area where journalists in Los Angeles frequently appear.
………
After the men's basketball national team arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel, they packed their luggage and rested for a while, then got up to wash and put on more formal clothes. They prepared to go out for the banquet.
Most of the players usually wear sportswear. Today, they are quite pleasing to the eye when wearing suits or casual suits. They attract a lot of attention when they walk out of the hotel lobby.
In fact, it is normal to think about it. These athletes are tall, have good enough bodies after years of exercise, and are simply born with clothes racks.
A tall and handsome man is already eye-catching enough. Now nearly twenty handsome guys appear at the same time. Not only are the reporters guarding the door taking pictures differently, but even the tourists passing by pick up their mobile phones to keep taking pictures.
Less than a minute after the men's basketball national team arrived at the lobby, Newcastle Club also took several other elevators to the first floor, and the two sides met by chance!
Mark William, who came to welcome the two teams, naturally knew the relationship between the two teams and his boss. He walked forward to communicate with Gong Luming, Hiller, Bei and others. Everyone quickly left the lobby together and boarded the bus that had been prepared long ago.
The members of the two teams, including the team leaders, coaches, officials and logistics service personnel, exceeded 60 people. If you take a car, you will create a 20-car fleet.
In the evening, the traffic conditions in Los Angeles were worrying, so William had to arrange two luxury buses to receive guests. After all, only the spacious space of the bus can accommodate these tall and strong athletes.
Fortunately, Four Seasons Hotel is not far from the ‘Dream Manor’. In less than a quarter of an hour, it arrived at the door of the manor. More than 100 reporters gathered here, which seemed particularly lively.
In order to take care of the emotions of media reporters, important figures including Gong Luming, Xiao Bei, Sheer, Space Yi, and Cavani accepted brief interviews from reporters at the door of the manor.
As for other team members and reunion, the manor waiter has already led to the restaurant. For most people, they have heard of the "Dream Manor" for a long time, but have never seen it in person.
Therefore, when they walked into the manor and looked at the flowers, plants and trees on both sides of the road, they seemed a little curious, and many players who knew some knowledge of botany became more and more surprised.
In the "Dream Manor", in addition to planting jacaranda and palm trees unique to Los Angeles, there are dozens of rare plants unique to China, such as golden flower tea, ginkgo, Davidia involucoma, sausage, etc. This is simply a protective botanical garden.
When the waiter saw that everyone was very interested in these plants, he also explained while walking, which made everyone amazed, but considering Xiao Feng's identity, everyone was relieved.
In fact, now all kinds of rare plants in the "Dream Manor" have become a mystery that the outside world cannot solve. It is difficult for them to understand what kind of magic Xiao Feng used to make these rare plants take root and sprout here?
In addition to rare plants, people can also see various animals including green peacocks, red-bellied pheasants, sika deer, etc. In this is also an animal paradise.
Of course, the brown bear weighing at least 300 kilograms and was playing on the grass with a few children, which made everyone feel a little nervous.
"This is our boss's pet, 'Big Boy', the children at home like to play with it the most!" Seeing everyone's shocked gaze, the waiter explained with a smile: "In addition to this underage brown bear, the boss's pet also has two dogs, a golden eagle, and several pony... "
For waiters working in the manor, there is not much difference between the pets of the Xiao family and the family members, and deepening their understanding of them is also a work area.
From the first glance after entering the manor, everything here makes the first time guests who visit the manor feel that they are not good enough to see. Although this place is located in Hollywood, everyone feels that there is a strong Chinese temperament. Whether it is the trimming of flowers and trees or the layout of buildings, they are all unique and impressive.
Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao stood at the door of the restaurant to greet everyone, which made everyone a little flattered. After all, Xiao Feng’s current identity is extraordinary. Whether in the wealth circle or competitive sports level, Xiao Feng’s achievements are incomparable to everyone present.
Human beings have always had the subconscious of worshiping the strong. When Xiao Feng's status is far higher than that of others, everyone naturally has no jealousy towards him.
Seeing everyone gathering together, Xiao Feng was in a good mood and smiled with Xu Mengyao to welcome everyone into the restaurant. The top feast tonight is about to start! (~^~)
Chapter completed!
