"Aaliyah, to thank you, can I take you home?"
Lin Feng really couldn't do anything with this American woman; she was too unrestrained and even scared him.
"Just send me home? That's all?"
"Uh, what else do you want?"
Lin Feng was speechless for a while. He knew what Aaliyah was thinking.
"Oh my god! Are all Chinese men so conservative? It's incomprehensible."
Aaliyah acted crazy. She couldn't stand the reservedness of Chinese men anymore.
She was so proactive in showing her affection to Lin Feng tonight. If it were an American man, he would have gone home to spend a wonderful night.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "It's not that we Chinese men are conservative. In fact, there are many Chinese men who know how to have fun. For example, those scumbags don't mind having a little story with you! But I can't. I told you before I came out: I'm a man with a girlfriend."
After a pause, Lin Feng continued, "Beautiful Miss Aaliyah, if your future boyfriend runs away to fool around behind your back, I think you will be very angry, right?"
"Well...that's right."
Aaliyah suddenly felt relieved. It was not because Lin Feng was conservative, but because he was loyal to love?
"Oh! Lin, I suddenly admire you even more. It must be a very lucky thing to be your woman. You can resist the temptation outside for the woman of your family!"
"Beautiful Miss Aaliyah, I think you misunderstood. In fact, I can't resist you. If you are more unrestrained, I might surrender."
Lin Feng came to live in Los Angeles when he was six or seven years old and is very familiar with American humor.
He was trying to make Aaliyah happy, and Aaliyah could tell that Lin Feng was teasing her, and the American girl burst into laughter.
"Lin, you are such a humorous guy!"
"Not bad." Lin Feng chuckled, "It's getting late, I'll take you home. Where do you live?"
"I live in Mandeville."
"Okay, I know that place. Los Angeles County, right?"
"Yes!"
Lin Feng couldn't help but look at Aaliyah twice. Most of the residential areas in Los Angeles County are villas.
Only middle-class American families can afford to buy a house in this area.
Obviously, Aaliyah settled in Los Angeles County, and her family conditions should be good, probably comparable to the Su family.
After arriving in Los Angeles County, Lin Feng sent Aaliyah to her doorstep.
Before getting off the car, she stared at Lin Feng blankly, smiling like a flower, and said, "It's time for us to say goodbye. Time flies so fast! Lin, thank you for accompanying me tonight. Can you give me a goodbye hug?"
Lin Feng thought about it and decided that it was just a hug, no big deal.
Aaliyah hugged Lin Feng gently and blew a breath in his ear. When she turned her face around, she gave him a light kiss and got out of the car laughing.
Lin Feng touched the lips that were kissed by Aaliyah and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In the United States, this kind of behavior seems to be quite normal?
After returning to his residence, Lin Feng lay down and fell asleep.
A New Opportunity
The next morning, Lin Feng received a call from an unknown number.
And this call came from Adam Dennis's friend.
Through the introduction, Lin Feng knew the other party's name.
His name is Ron Nutter, and he has been running a wine business in Los Angeles for many years. Currently, Ron Nutter's products can be seen in any place in the United States that needs drinks.
As Adam Dennis said, Ron Nutter's wine brand is very famous throughout the United States.
He found Lin Feng in order to open up the Eastern market.
To be precise, it is the Chinese market.
You have to know that in 2006, China already had the rudiments of becoming the world's second largest economy.
Whoever controls 1.4 billion people controls the code to wealth.
Ron Nutter had long wanted to find a Chinese person to be the brand's spokesperson, and initially approached Yao Ming. However, due to various reasons, the collaboration did not proceed.
Coincidentally, a whirlwind was blowing in the NBA league and Lin Feng emerged out of nowhere.
Ron Nutter saw a rising star in the future, and he needed Lin Feng to endorse the wine brand to help him open up the Chinese market.
The two chatted on the phone for a while, and Ron Nutter said with a smile: "Dear Lin, where do you live? Can I come to see you now?"
"Of course, Mr. Ron, please come to my place."
Lin Feng told Ron Nutter the exact location, and he claimed that he would arrive at the location to meet Lin Feng in an hour at most.
Soon, Ron Nutter arrived.
This guy looks younger than Adam Dennis, maybe around 35 or 36 years old. It's not easy for him to make his wine brand famous all over the United States at this age, which proves that he is quite capable.
Beside Ron Nutter, there were two subordinates, one male and one female, who should be the drivers and assistants.
"Dear Lin, I spotted you from a long distance away. Your red hair is really eye-catching."
Ron Nutter walked to Lin Feng, looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Damn, I love your red hair so much now! Lin, you may not know that I am also a die-hard fan of the Lakers. I wish you and Kobe win the championship together in advance!"
"Mr. Ron, I'd like to ask for your blessing. Kobe and I will definitely win the championship this season."
"Haha, I'm optimistic about you guys."
Ron Nutter was not the type to waste time, and the two of them made things very clear on the phone.
The endorsement period is two years, $3 million a year, which is $6 million for two years.
Considering that Lin Feng has just risen in the NBA, it remains unknown whether he can maintain his popularity.
Ron Nutter is a natural born businessman. He has a keen sense of smell in this business. He was worried that something unexpected might happen to Lin Feng in the future, so he didn't dare to offer too high a price.
If you want superstars like Yao Ming and Kobe to be your spokesperson, don't even think about making $3 million a year.
"Dear Lin, are you satisfied with the price we just discussed? The endorsement period is two years, $3 million a year. If you are willing, we will sign the contract."
Ron Nutter motioned to his female assistant to take out two contracts, one for Party A and one for Party B.
Lin Feng thought about it and to be honest, $6 million in two years was already a huge income for him.
From childhood to adulthood, Lin Feng has never seen so much money.
When he joined the Lakers, Mitch Kupchak was so stingy that he only paid him $750,000 a year.
At first he thought that $750,000 was a lot, but now Ron Nutter gave him an endorsement fee of $3 million a year, and Lin Feng felt a little excited.
But after thinking about it, considering his current fame in the United States, isn't it a bit too little to pay him only $3 million a year?
Oh, forget it. I just played six games in the NBA, and then someone offered me $6 million in endorsement fees. It's actually not a small amount. It's always good to be content.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng stopped hesitating and was about to sign when suddenly a car horn sounded on the main road ahead.
Soon, Lin Feng, Ron Nutter and others saw a white BMW driving towards them.
This car belongs to my girlfriend Su Muqing.
