Perhaps it was because the Knicks were the first to acquire the NBA team from Stern. David Stern, under his authority, gave the Knicks some small care, such as after defeating the Detroit Pistons.
, they have three days of rest. You know, their opponent the Pistons are not so lucky. After losing in Madison, they have to fly back to Detroit immediately to continue to face the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves at home.
The next day, all sports newspapers reported on the Knicks' first regular season game, but they placed the news in every corner of the newspaper, even though the Knicks had the highest point differential in the game on the same day.
And just when Blake Dolan threw those newspapers into the trash can and prepared to use these three days of vacation to continue studying his matrix system, something happened that frustrated his plan. The HBO TV network wanted him to participate in the recording of their latest issue.
TV documentary "Born Rich".
Blake Dolan has always dismissed invitations from such TV stations. Even though his grandfather, Charles Dolan, holds a large stake in HBO, he could not refuse this invitation because this was one of his few friends since he was a boy.
, Babbitt Levine sent an invitation to him. This young man, who is also the son of an HBO veteran, had just become an assistant to HBO's new CEO Chris Albrecht when Blake Dolan led the Tigers to win the NCAA championship.
The manager of the original department is responsible for the original TV series and documentaries of HBO TV network. He came up with the idea of "Born to Riches". It has been filmed and broadcast in the United States for five episodes. This is the last episode. HBO has focused on this
The city with the highest money density on the planet.
Blake Dolan was drinking coffee and looking across at the companion he always called "B" when he was a child. He was wearing a decent high-end suit, and his eyes were full of ambition and power.
"Babbitt, this is the most boring invitation I have ever seen. You invite all the children of famous wealthy people in the United States to attend your program and talk to the camera about their lives since childhood? What's there to talk about!"
Babbitt Li Wen spread his hands: "I think it's boring too, but American audiences like it. The ratings of this documentary are far ahead of other TV stations' documentaries. The audience is very interested in you children who are born rich. They think
The Pope in the Vatican baptized you when you were born, just like the princes and princesses in ancient times, that's it, do me a favor, man!"
"Okay, tell me, who else is there? New York is the place with the most children growing up with gold spoons in their mouths in the entire United States." Black Dolan rolled his eyes and said.
"I swear, you'll recognize most of them, and we've invited eleven people who look like you in this issue," said Babbitt Levine.
"Hey! Do I get paid?" Blake Dolan said with a smile, picking up the coffee cup.
"How about going to ask Grandpa Charles for a salary?" Babbitt Levin also laughed: "Or do you think it's easier to go to my father?"
"Where is this program being filmed? I'm asking what kind of clothes do I need to wear?" Blake Dolan looked down at the casual suit he was wearing and asked.
"In order to attract the audience's attention, we put this documentary in the St. Ambrose Hotel. I think you'd better put on a suit that won't catch your shirt. Think about it, if you and the other eleven people
If someone wears the same style of suit, he will immediately become the laughing stock of the entire United States." Babbitt Levine said.
"HBO is really paying a lot of money. St. Ambrose is the most famous hotel on the Upper East Side. Only 1% of the people in the entire Big Apple have enough money to go in and have lunch." Blake Dolan said in a mocking tone, St. Ambrose.
The hotel is the favorite place for the nouveau riche in New York, because it can make their hearts expand. Because the hotel only accepts reservations from wealthy people with a net worth of more than 100 million U.S. dollars, otherwise even the President of the United States would not be able to let them stay.
Out of position….
"No way, the audience likes to see this. They think that children who are born with countless money should eat there every day. But don't worry, I set the menu and ordered your favorite potato salad for you." Babbitt
Li Wen finished speaking with a smile, and then glanced at the watch on his wrist:
"That's it, Blake! Tomorrow night at seven o'clock, St. Ambrose, remember to show up on time for our dinner! Although you are never late, I still remind you out of habit."
"I won't be late for the potato salad." Blake Dolan drank the coffee in the cup and said: "If I tell those viewers that I actually grew up eating sandwiches and burgers like them, wouldn't they?
Will you be disappointed?"
…
When he returned to his rented apartment and looked at the four black suits and several ties hanging in the closet, Blake Dolan rubbed his head:
"I forgot to ask Babbitt about the extra cost of clothes."
Blake Dolan has never been picky about clothing. Since he became the coach of the Princeton Tigers, his suit has been a black suit from a small brand. But obviously, if he wears this kind of clothing at tomorrow night's dinner, it will embarrass Babbitt, and Li
Fu Taylor was still filming in Hollywood, so the helpless Blake Dolan took out his phone and called his Aunt Nancy:
"Hello, Aunt Nancy, I'm very sorry to disturb you during working hours. I have a little problem."
Catherine Napolcher had some surprises on the other end of the phone:
"Little Blake! Although you joined the Knicks, you haven't spoken to me for nearly a month. What happened?"
"Well, you know, Babbitt from the HBO TV network invited me to participate in the filming of one of their interview documentaries. The location was a somewhat upscale dinner party at the St. Ambrose Hotel. The guests at the cocktail party were all the sons and daughters of wealthy people in New York State.
I don't know what I should wear for such an occasion, what about Armani?" Blake Doran never held back on Aunt Nancy and said what he said directly.
Aunt Nancy’s answer was equally clear and neat: “Wearing Armani at this kind of cocktail party will make people think you are a complete nouveau riche. Only poor people will wear brands like Armani and Versace to show off. I don’t have a list for that cocktail party, so,
I can only guess that maybe some heirs of big families will appear, and in front of them, it would be terrible for you to wear this brand of dress or suit."
"Only poor people wear it? I don't believe it. A suit costs thousands of dollars and no poor person can afford it! Well, what should I wear? And it seems too late to find a Parisian tailor to make it custom-made for me." Blake Dolan
said.
"No, even if it only takes more than thirty hours, although we can't find time to find a traditional Parisian tailor, we can still find a company that sews clothes for the British royal family. They have just opened an American branch in New York. I
I almost forgot about them. They just called me a few days ago and asked if I had time to let them measure me. Blake, as the heir of a big family, you must first learn what to wear after you retire.
