Meizong Wealth Life

Chapter 55 Past and present life, father and son reconcile
The Williamsburg restaurant was extremely quiet at this time.

Everyone was staring at the TV screen, watching Jordan express his gratitude to the Bulls' new owner with all kinds of praise.

At the end of his speech, Jordan did not forget to sublimate the theme.

He said that he will renew his contract with the Bulls for three years at the veteran's minimum salary, and all of his salary will be donated to the victims of the 911/[-] terrorist attacks.

For most people watching the live TV broadcast, the only thing everyone cares about is Jordan's comeback.

As for the Bulls boss' replacement, not many people actually care.

At best, it's just a curiosity as to how much Jerry Reinsdorf paid for selling the Bulls.

Jerry spent $84 million to buy the Bulls in 1600, but if he sells it now, it would be conservatively estimated to be dozens of times higher.

Although the Bulls failed to finish last in the Eastern Conference last season, Jerry Reinsdorf had never revealed his intention to sell the team.

The new owner was able to successfully buy the team, which must have been due to overcoming many difficulties.

Outsiders speculated that the deal would cost more than $6 million.

Li Han happened to be very interested in this issue and asked who could tell him what the new owner of the Bulls did and why he had never heard of this guy.

Rebecca, Jimmy, and Caroline, who had already realized why the name John Dutton sounded so familiar, all looked at Jamie, who was still looking at the TV screen without saying a word.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Li Han could only shrug and said something smart.

"I see he's wearing a cowboy hat, so he's probably a cattle farmer, right?"

Caroline's eyes widened.

She really wanted to tell Li Han loudly that the cow farmer you talked about could buy this shabby restaurant like yours by just selling a cow!

It is normal for Li Han to have never heard of John Dutton.

Because Yellowstone beef only appears on the tables of high-end restaurants in New York, people below the middle class have not even heard of the name of this beef.

Just then, Jamie's cell phone rang.

The call was from Serena, and the purpose was to ask John for more details about buying the Bulls.

Jamie told Serena to explain to her later and hung up.

At this time, the live broadcast on TV had ended, and Jamie had no intention of staying anymore, so he left without saying a word.

Soon Rebecca and Jimmy were gone too.

Max asked Caroline curiously. She always felt that Jamie's reaction was a bit strange after learning that Jordan was back.

Caroline glanced at Li Han, who was still searching other channels with the remote control for more news about Jordan's comeback, and told Max to discuss this matter later.

Back at the penthouse of the Hampshire Building, just as Serena went to find Blair, Jamie stood alone in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window in the living room. He hesitated for a long time before taking out his cell phone and dialing his father's number.

At this time, Jordan's comeback ceremony was over, and the phone was answered within two rings.

Jamie took a deep breath and said:
"Dad, I saw the TV news."

On the other end of the phone, John's voice sounded unusually calm.

"so what?"

Jamie, who was holding his cell phone, was stunned.

What should he say?
Congratulations to your father for buying an NBA team?

Or do you complain that the other party has kept it secret from you for so long?

Since time travel, Jamie has become accustomed to all kinds of help from his father, and naturally feels that no matter what his father does, he should discuss it with him.However, he ignored an important issue.

No matter in his previous life or this life, he had never seriously understood his father's thoughts.

After time travel, he took his father as a golden finger for granted, but ignored that the other person was a living person, with his own joys, sorrows, and joys, and also qualified to do some things he wanted to do.

"Jamie?"

John's slightly confused voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Are you still listening to the call?"

"Of course, I'm listening."

Jamie changed his hand to hold the phone and responded: "I have no other meaning in making this call, I just want to congratulate you."

To prove it, he immediately added another sentence.

"Tell me about basketball. You know I didn't pay much attention to the NBA before, but I know you like watching the NBA very much. You also said that you would go to watch an NBA game with me if you have the opportunity."

Now it was John's turn on the other end of the phone to be surprised.

In his previous life, he had made a similar proposal to Jamie, but the response he received was rejection without hesitation.

The reason is that I have no interest and no time.

This is of course an excuse.

In fact, Jamie paid more or less attention to basketball and the NBA in his previous life. He even had the same hairstyle as Sakuragi Hanamichi during his freshman year.

Unfortunately, even within a week, the class teacher came to talk to him many times and asked him to quickly cut off his red hair.

Eventually Jamie did so, willingly.

Mainly because since he dyed his hair red, he would be the first to be called upon by the teacher even when answering questions, not to mention skipping class.

No way, it's too eye-catching.

In fact, Jamie liked playing basketball when he was young, and his skills were pretty good.But since the relationship with his father became worse and worse, he began to resist basketball.

The 1.8-meter tall man would rather stand on the sidelines as a cheerleader during a college basketball game than go on the court to touch the ball.

After graduation, I had no time to contact him, and even the NBA rarely paid attention to it.

John is the exact opposite of his son. In his previous life, his biggest interest after work was watching football. When he was in the police academy, he was still the main player of the school team.

Later, when I got to the criminal police team, I was too busy with work, so I gradually became unfamiliar with it.

It was also at that time that the NBA began to enter the country, and the name Jordan became a household name in basketball mythology.

It just so happened that father and son traveled to this world together in 94. Jordan came back for the first time and led the Bulls to another three consecutive championships.

From that time on, John had his mind set on buying an NBA team.

This is not unrelated to his love for basketball in his previous life, but the more important reason is that John has always hoped to fulfill his previous wish to watch a game with his son.

I bought an NBA team and put Jordan back on the court, so you can come and watch the game with me, right?
The media reporters outside must have never dreamed that John's original intention of buying the Bulls was so simple.

Now Jamie actually took the initiative to talk to him about basketball and the NBA, which surprised John so much.

Over the years, he has been silently holding back his ultimate move, because it involves the space spring water and the identity of the traveler, which cannot be leaked to the outside world at all.

Now I can finally spit it out!
