Every man dreamed of a supercar, and Chen Hao was no exception.
In his previous life, he didn't have the conditions. Now that he was rich, he naturally wouldn't mistreat himself. His first car was directly chosen to be a supercar.
However, due to his height and the fact that the car would be used as a means of daily transportation, Chen Hao directly passed many types of supercars.
Accompanied by Farmer, he visited three or four car dealers and finally spent 450,000 dollars to buy a supercar that was more suitable for daily use, the Ferrari GTC4Lusso.
Other than considering the practical use, buying a car was often based on luck, just like a blind date. Most of the time, it was just a feeling of first sight.
It was obvious that he was either greedy for his body or his appearance.
After confirming the scope, Chen Hao took a fancy to the Ferrari GTC4Lusso at a glance. It took less than ten minutes to complete the payment. After that, he only needed to wait for the dealer to complete the relevant procedures before he could pick up the car.
The entire process was done without any delay. It didn't seem like 450,000 yuan at all, but more like 45 yuan.
It shocked Farmer, who was accompanying him.
"I really couldn't tell that you're a tycoon.”
As the salesperson sent them off with a professional smile, Chen Hao and Farmer walked to the door. The latter sized up Chen Hao.
It was as if it was the first day he met Chen Hao.
In fact, the two of them had only known each other for less than a week.
"I'm not a tycoon. I'm just a little rich ~" Chen Hao smiled.
Regarding this, Farmer expressed that he didn't believe a single bit of it. To be able to take out 450,000 dollars to buy a car without blinking, Chen Hao's financial resources must be very rich. It was 2005 now, and 450,000 dollars was not a small amount.
Even if he had a rich family background, he would still have to spend some time to think about it carefully if he had to ask Farmer to fork out so much money at once. He would not be as casual as Chen Hao.
He immediately understood.
It was no wonder that Chen Hao was unwilling to waste a year in the NCAA and enter the NBA with a high draft pick. Unlike other players who wanted to enter the NBA and make a lot of money, Chen Hao was not short of money, so he was naturally shocked and did not care about such a small profit.
The key was that this guy was also a professional. They were all very clear about Big Yao's experience in the NBA for the past three years. Not only did he make the Rockets boss a lot of money, but he also drove his teammates to get many endorsements. He even affected the income of the entire league.
One could imagine that Chen Hao, who was also a gangster, but had a more handsome appearance and a height that was closer to that of an ordinary person, would receive a terrifying amount of attention once he performed well in the Alliance.
"You really make me jealous ~" Farmer whispered.
After spending time with Chen Hao for the past few days, he had a better understanding of Chen Hao. Whether it was his basketball skills or his personality and style, he could not help but have a good impression of him.
In addition to the kindness of bringing him to the nightclub to experience the atmosphere, accompanying him to buy a car or rent a house was naturally a small matter.
"Your face is natural. No matter how you look at it, you won't become as handsome as me.”Chen Hao stretched and sat in the front passenger seat.
In America, one could get a driver's license at the age of 16. Naturally, Farmer, who had a good family background, had his own car, a Mercedes-Benz GLV.
This time, he acted as Chen Hao's driver and took him to various car dealers before finally choosing the Ferrari brand.
"What a cocky fellow ~"
Shaking his head slightly, Farmer entered the car and asked,""Do you have any requirements for the house?"
"Close to the stadium. It's best if it's a stand-alone villa. I don't like to be disturbed during my break ~" Chen Hao gave his request.
"It's close to the stadium, and if it's a villa, I'm afraid the price will be too high."
Speaking of this, Farmer immediately reacted." I almost forgot. You don't lack money, so you can just go there directly."
"Where?"
"You'll know when you get there ~" Farmer pretended to be in suspense.
Not long after, the two drove to a real estate agent. Under the guidance of the relevant personnel, Chen Hao was able to enter the three-story villa in the famous wealthy district of Los Angeles.
Because it was located in downtown Los Angeles, where every inch of land was expensive, the rent was naturally not cheap. However, Chen Hao did not care about this. After visiting, he expressed his satisfaction with the interior configuration and decoration style. Without hesitation, he rented it directly.
He had paid a year's rent in one go, and his wealth made Farmer envious once again.
Ever since he graduated from high school, in order to cultivate his independence and personal ability, his family did not provide much financial help to him except for the necessary expenses. He had to rely on himself most of the time. Although he was a Los Angeles native when he entered UCLA this time, Farmer lived in the school dormitory, which explained everything.
He did not have the ability to rent a house outside, let alone rent a detached villa like this.
"The place is not bad. You've worked hard today. Let's go. I'll treat you to a big meal ~"
After being his chauffeur for half a day, Chen Hao naturally wouldn't mistreat his underling.
"I was waiting for you to say that. I'll make you poor today!”Farmer said fiercely.
However, the little one's appearance and thin figure did not make people feel threatened at all.
After choosing a western restaurant to have a big meal, Chen Hao took Farmer's car back to school and began to pack his luggage to move to the villa.
His short college life was about to come to an end.
He would have to face the envious gazes of Bilder and the others.
"Hao, don't go back to school in a year!”
"That's right, you have to fight. You're a player from the UCLA Brown Bears. You can't embarrass our team!”
"We will always pay attention to the Laker game!”
“......”
Chen Hao walked out of the school with everyone sending him off. His university career was over, and his identity had changed to a professional player.
At night, Chen Hao lay on the soft bed in the villa and looked at the beautiful lights and night scenery outside through the window. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He said to himself with emotion,"I was just an ordinary person in my previous life, but I've lived a much more exciting life in this life.”
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Chen Hao wasn't prepared to go back to that kind of bitter life. He made up his mind at once. From tomorrow onwards, he would devote all his attention to the great cause of earning money. He had almost not received any money in the past week. He was really too lazy.
With this determination, Chen Hao fell asleep.
In her sleep, Elizabeth Olsen's face appeared from time to time.
However, what Chen Hao did not know was that in a villa somewhere in Los Angeles, an old man who looked like Old KFC was discussing the lineup configuration of the team for the new season with the assistant coaches.
If Chen Hao was present, he would have recognized him immediately. The person sitting in the main seat was the current head coach of the Laker, Phil Jackson. Beside him was the assistant coach Hoffman, who had previously interacted with him in the Laker training center, as well as other members of the coaching staff.
"The signings are almost done. Let's all talk about the team's starting lineup for the new season ~" Phil Jackson said slowly.
He looked at his assistant managers.
"Bryant and Lamar will undoubtedly occupy the starting shooting guard and small forward positions, so there are only three positions worth discussing.”
" For the center position, I recommend Chris Mihm to be the starter. His strength may not be particularly strong, but his performance is stable enough. Andrew needs more training to improve. There are too many uncertain factors in Kuame Brown. He is not suitable for the starting lineup.”
As the chief assistant manager of the coaching staff, Hoffman gave his suggestions very directly.
"Agreed ~"
"I agree too ~"
As he spoke, everyone's eyes gathered on Phil Jackson. Seeing him nod his head in agreement, Hoffman said,"
"We don't have many options for the other two positions. From last season's performance, Brian Cook fits the tactical requirements. Although he is a power forward, he has a good three-point shooting ability. His field goal percentage last season reached 39.2%.”
After a pause, seeing that no one had any objections, Hoffman continued,""Brian's three-pointer ability can make our offensive system more three-dimensional. It can also reduce the pressure on Bryant and Lamar on the scoring end, but the defensive end may become a hidden danger.”
" We don't seem to have any other choice," Phil Jackson joked.
However, everyone could hear the bitterness in his words. The strength of the new season's lineup of the Los Angeles Clippers could only be considered to be above average. This was still considering the existence of Kobe and Odom. Otherwise, with just the other players, they would probably be at the CBA level.
As a member of the team's coaching staff, everyone knew very well that the bottom line of this team was average. The upper limit was completely dependent on Kobe and Odom's performance, especially Kobe. Whether he could maintain his excellent state in the new season would play a vital role in the team's record.
With Phil Jackson's opening, the players in the team's four positions for the new season had been confirmed. Only the position of the point guard was still uncertain.
Sensing everyone's gaze, Hoffman hesitated for a moment before saying with some hesitation,"
"In terms of the starting point guard, we don't have many cards in our hands either. The previously signed Smash Parker's awareness of running without the ball and blocking, as well as his hard work on the court, are worthy of recognition. But that's all. There aren't too many surprises to speak of.”
Chen Hao's image appeared in Hoffman's mind, and he said bluntly,"" I think we can focus on the Chinese defender who came for the trial last week."
"The Chinese defender, the sophomore from UCLA?”Phil Jackson recalled the contents of the phone call from his friend.
Phil, you know Hao?" Hoffman was puzzled.
Shaking his head, Phil Jackson said,""That's a player that Ben recommended to me. I originally wanted him to experience the glory of an NBA team in advance, so I gave him a chance to try out.”
"Yeah, I signed it for a year ~"
Thinking of Chen Hao's performance in the trial, Hoffman's eyes lit up."
"Hao's ball control ability is very good. When I saw him control the ball, the first feeling in my mind was as if I saw Isiah Thomas on the field. His outside defense ability is also above average. His speed is not bad, but he has the common problem of Chinese players. His physical fitness is not particularly good, but it is not bad.”
After taking a deep breath, Hoffman continued,""The key is that he's only 21 years old. I feel that he still has potential to be tapped. We definitely won't lose out if we sign him at a basic salary.”
"Yes ~"
Nodding his head in agreement, he recalled his old friend's evaluation of Chen Hao. Combined with Hoffman's words just now, Phil Jackson began to have a hint of interest in Chen Hao.
