811 Red wine worth millions of dollars
Wang Yi rushed to James' villa in Beverly Hills.
Wang Yi originally thought that Wade and Anthony were both good brothers of James and they would also come to James' house.
But when he arrived, there was no one else in James's home except his family.
The person who opened the door to greet him was James' eldest son Bronny.
Originally, Bronny could participate in the draft this year.
But his talent is far inferior to that of James.
In this year's predicted draft rankings, he is only ranked 53rd.
If you participate in the draft, you may even become an undrafted player.
So in the end, he followed James's advice, gave up the option of participating this year, and chose to spend another year in college to hone his skills and body.
In other words, if you want to see James and his son compete on the same stage, you have to wait for another season.
James' wife Savannah prepared a sumptuous lunch.
Together with James, he warmly invited Wang Yi to sit down and have dinner.
Savannah also joked: "Don't worry, the lunch I prepared is very strict in controlling the intake of calories and trace elements. After being with LeBron for so many years, I have become an excellent nutritionist."
"
Everyone laughed.
This was not Wang Yi’s first time here, and he sat down without any ceremony.
During the dinner, James went to the wine cellar and took out the red wine he had collected for many years.
1947 Cheval Blanc dry red wine.
"Brother, this is just because you are here. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't open this bottle of wine."
James said.
Wang Yi was not satisfied: "I think the 1992 Screaming Eagle tasted better last time. Why is it not the Screaming Eagle this time?"
James laughed heartily: "The 1992 Screaming Eagle costs $550,000 a bottle. If I drink that every time, I'm afraid I will go bankrupt sooner or later."
"Checking Soudi."
Wang Yi threw a Northeastern dialect at James.
James continued: "Do you think these 47-year-old Cheval Blanc wines are cheap? When this bottle of wine was auctioned in 2010, it sold for US$300,000. I bought it again for US$350,000."
At today's exchange rate, US$350,000 is equivalent to 2.22 million RMB.
In other words, if you take this bite, it will be worth tens of thousands.
Wang Yi shook his head: "I really don't understand the world of the rich. I think it's better to have a bottle of Red Star Erguotou."
Then he finished the cup and put the cup in front of James: "One more cup."
The whole James family burst into laughter.
To be honest, Wang Yi is not very fond of red wine. If he hadn't drank with James, he would never have drank a bottle of red wine worth one million RMB in his life, let alone more than two million RMB.
Looking back and thinking about it, James, who usually can't even turn on the data and only uses Wi-Fi, has collected a lot of red wine worth millions of dollars a bottle.
Sure enough, the rich really don’t understand the life.
Several people were chatting happily during the banquet.
Wang Yi asked James' son Bronny: "Which team would you most like to play in the NBA?"
Browne replied: "It doesn't matter which team I go to, but I want to go to a bad team."
"oh?"
Brownie's answer surprised Wang Yi.
He can understand Bronny not going to the Lakers, because then he will always live under his father's halo.
If his father doesn't retire, he may not be able to succeed.
But then you should at least go to a similar team. Why go to a bad team?
"Would you rather be a chicken's mouth than a cow's queen?"
Wang Yi asked.
His question left James and his family a little confused.
“What does it mean to have a chicken’s mouth but not a cow’s ass?”
James' second son Bryce asked.
His question made Wang Yi burst out laughing: "To put it simply, I would rather be the core player of a bad team than the water cooler keeper of a strong team. Do you understand?"
When he said this, those few people understood it one after another.
Brownie also nodded: "Yes, that's what I mean."
After chatting about brownies, Savannah asked Wang Yi: "When do you plan to get married?"
"I haven't thought about this yet. I think I need to win at least three consecutive championships or even four consecutive championships."
James choked on a sip of red wine.
Good guy, you mean I can never win a championship again before I retire.
Wang Yi's words made Savannah and his two sons and one daughter laugh again.
"Aren't you anxious Nicole?"
Wang Yi replied: "I am only 23 now, which is still very early. After getting married and having children, there will be a lot of family chores, which will distract me, so before the age of 30, if I have not achieved great achievements, I will not
Will get married."
"Okay, does Nicole know what you think?"
Savannah asked...
"She hasn't asked me, and I haven't mentioned it. But she should support me."
Wang Yi said.
James nodded: "Your idea makes sense, but Nicole is a good girl, don't let her wait too long."
Wang Yi fell into deep thought.
At the end of the lunch, James said to Wang Yi: "You seem to be very talented at the point position."
Wang Yi nodded and said without humility: "I agree with this."
James added: "If I remember correctly, the last year of your contract should be a player option."
(For those who don’t watch NBA, some popular science: player option means that players have the right to choose freely. For example, Wang Yi signed a three-year contract with the team, and the last year was a player option. In the last year, he has both
You can choose to execute this one-year contract and continue to stay with the Kings, or you can choose to jump out of the contract and become a free agent, and then sign with another team or renegotiate a contract with the Kings.
In contrast, there are also team options.)
Wang Yi nodded and replied: "That's right."
James said: "Then I think you can consider the Lakers. I miss the days when we fought side by side very much."
Here he comes, here he comes again.
Wang Yi knew that this topic could not be avoided when he was with James.
James is indeed very strong.
It has been the peak since entering the league, and this peak has been 20 years.
Up to now, he is still averaging more than 30 points per game, which is simply unbelievable.
However, one fact must be admitted.
That is since he first left the Cavaliers, he has been pursuing strong players.
That's what the saying goes: group hugging
Of course, there is actually nothing wrong with being in a group.
To put it bluntly, the NBA is a huge business.
Teams can trade players for their own benefit.
If a player is of use to me, I will keep him; if he is of no use to me, I will trade him.
Even before trading a player, he doesn't even tell the player.
Some players are still warming up before the game starts and are ready to play.
As a result, I was informed that you had been traded 5 minutes before the game started.
That's why I'm lucky.
Many more players don't even have anyone to notify them.
It was only when I was scrolling through Twitter that I discovered an official announcement that so-and-so had been traded to a certain team.
From the perspective of the team's management, the players are commodities.
Do I need to say hello to the product when I sell it?
