Chapter 713 An unexpected encounter



After staying at Qi’s home for an afternoon, Liu Dong did not go home, but went directly to the airport. ◇↓,

At about 7 p.m., he boarded a direct flight from Beijing to Los Angeles. Thirteen hours later, at 8 p.m. Beijing time and 7 p.m. Los Angeles time, Liu Dong walked out of Los Angeles International Airport carrying a simple backpack.

.

"Xiaodong, here?"

Looking at Li Yuncong who was waving his hands, Liu Dong quickly walked over and said with a surprise look on his face: "Brother Li, how did you know I was taking this plane?"

"Hey, the old man called me a long time ago. Come on, I've already booked the hotel for you!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded. The old man Li Yuncong mentioned must be Mr. Li.

"By the way, how was your time in Los Angeles?" Liu Dong asked after getting in the car.

"It's not bad. Anyway, we visited Hollywood, Santa Monica Beach, Chinatown and so on. We saw everything we should see! If the old man hadn't told you to come over this time, maybe we would have gone to the next stop tomorrow.

Got it!"

"What? Are you still planning to continue playing?" Liu Dong said with a smile.

"Of course, getting married may only happen once in a lifetime. If you don't have fun, how can you live up to yourself? And after you return to China, if you imagine having such unrestrained fun now, you probably won't have the chance!" Li Yuncong said with some emotion.

Of course, this is also the helplessness of the children of the aristocratic family!

"By the way, Xiaodong, I've already bought a flight ticket from Los Angeles to New York for you. The flight is obviously at 4 p.m., is that okay?"

"No problem!" Liu Dong nodded. He didn't have to suffer from jet lag anyway, and Liu Dong wouldn't feel tired after flying for several days in a row.

"That's good! ... Wenwen has already prepared dinner for us. After dinner, I will take you around Los Angeles. Although you won't stay here for long, you can't come in vain!

"

After coming out of the airport, it took about half an hour to arrive at the hotel where Li Yuncong and his wife were staying!

After putting their luggage in the room, Li Yuncong, Zhuang Wen and Liu Dong had dinner together in the hotel.

"Yun Cong, you and Liu Dong go out for a walk, I won't go!" Zhuang Wen said.

"Okay, then you can rest in the hotel and call me if you need anything!"

After saying that, after Li Yuncong settled Zhuang Wen, he walked out of the hotel with Liu Dong.

Los Angeles was full of lights at night. The second largest city in the United States made Liu Dong feel the unusual prosperity here. Of course, the exotic scenery also attracted his attention.

"So many Chinese here?" Liu Dong asked in surprise.

Along the way, Liu Dong saw a lot of yellow people with the same skin and similar appearance to himself. When he was in the Netherlands before, he had never seen this kind of thing.

"It's not surprising that Los Angeles is the city with the largest Chinese population in the United States, with more than 400,000 Chinese here!"

After nodding, Liu Dong said: "By the way, Brother Li, where are you going to play next? Are you still planning to stay in the United States?"

"Of course, Los Angeles is just our first stop in the United States. Next, we are going to visit the world's casino city, Las Vegas!"

"Las Vegas?" Liu Dong frowned.

Liu Dong has also heard about the reputation of the world's gambling city.

"Why would you want to go there? And gambling is not a good idea!"

"Hey, Xiaodong, you are wrong. Although Las Vegas is the capital, it is also a tourist attraction in the United States. Now that you are here, how can you not go there! But it would be great if you go together. Then we will be together

If you kill everyone in Las Vegas, you will definitely make a lot of money! And it’s all business without capital!”

Hearing this, Liu Dong was also moved. Now he only has about 50 million U.S. dollars left in his hand. Although it should be enough to buy two Yuanmingyuan animal heads, Christie's auction will definitely have more than one or two lots. I believe

At that time, there will definitely not be two precious works of art. If he didn't have money, Liu Dong wouldn't be able to afford them even if he saw them.

Therefore, although Liu Dong is not a gambling addict, he does not mind going to Las Vegas to get a sum of money to exchange for his favorite artwork.

However, after thinking about it, Liu Dong finally shook his head. Tomorrow is already September 10th, and when he flies to New York it will be the 11th. The preview of the Christie's auction has already begun, and there is no time for him to go to Las Vegas.

Turn around.

"You guys go and have fun, I have no chance!" Liu Dong shook his head.

Seeing this, Li Yuncong also felt a little disappointed.

He has seen Liu Dong's gambling skills with his own eyes. With him by his side, he would definitely be able to make a fortune, but he has no chance now!

"thing the thie!"

Just then, a sharp and young woman's voice suddenly sounded on the street.

Both Liu Dong and Li Yuncong are no strangers to English. Translated into Chinese, this sentence means "catch the thief"!

"It seems that the public security of US imperialism is not very good?" After complaining a little in his heart, looking at the figure running towards him quickly, Liu Dong saw the opportunity and quickly stretched out his long legs.

"Bang, ouch!"

If someone trips and falls while running fast, you can imagine how badly you fall.

The young thief in front of him, who was twenty-six or seventeen years old and of medium height, fell to the ground and rolled around three times before he stopped.

"Yellow-skinned pig, you are seeking death...!"

But before the white-skinned pickpocket could get up to find trouble for Liu Dong, he was kicked to the ground by a girl wearing jeans and a pink vest who jumped out from the crowd.

"**er, bastard, how dare you steal my lady's bag!"

Seeing the girl's right foot in high heels kicking the young pickpocket's lower body hard, Liu Dong couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He looked at the pickpocket who was covering his lower body and screaming and shook his head.

"Brother Li, are all foreign women so tough?" Liu Dong said.

"Actually, this is my first time seeing you!" Seeing the girl cursing and beating the pickpocket who had no power to resist, Li Yuncong felt a chill under his crotch.

"Our Chinese women are better!" Before getting married, Li Yuncong, who was envious of foreign horses' bulging fronts and backs, instantly threw his thoughts out of his mind.

It wasn't until the police came to rescue the pickpocket from the girl that the sudden farce came to an end. And the crowd watching the fun finally dispersed!

Just when Liu Dong and Li Yuncong were about to leave, the word 'wait' came from behind them!

Liu Dong turned around and looked at the girl who had straightened her golden hair and walked towards the two of them with a bag, Liu Dong was surprised.

"I didn't expect such a unruly woman to be quite beautiful!" Liu Dongxin said.

"Hello. My name is Scarlett Johansson. Thank you for your help just now!"

"You're welcome! I think a lot of people would do that!"

After the three of them greeted each other, Scarlett asked: "Are you Chinese?"

"That's right, we are here to travel to Los Angeles!" Li Yuncong said next to him.

"Travel?" After nodding, Scarlett continued: "It just so happens that I have two extra tickets for the Lakers game tonight, which I will give to you as a reward for your help!"

Looking at the two tickets handed over by the other party, Liu Dong was about to refuse, because he had no interest in basketball or anything like that! He didn't even know who the Lakers were!

However, Li Yuncong took it over.

"Thank you so much. It just so happens that we don't know where to go tonight!"

"Isn't it just a basketball game? Why are you so excited?" Liu Dong whispered.

"Of course you don't know the reputation of the NBA and the Lakers, as you never watch TV!"

The current Lakers have Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal, and it's time to establish a dynasty. Moreover, they are also the defending champions and have great success in the NBA. Li Yuncong, who likes basketball, certainly knows his favorite team very well.

But he soon realized, "Don't the NBA preseason games only start in mid-October? Why are there games now?"

Scarlett couldn't understand the Chinese that Liu Dong used when they talked just now, but she understood this sentence.

"It's true that the NBA league hasn't started yet, but tonight is an exhibition match between the Lakers and this year's NAA championship team Duke University!" Scarlett said with excitement on her face.

As a veteran fan, Li Yuncong quickly understood that although the NBA is the highest level basketball event in the eyes of foreign basketball fans, in the United States, the NAA is obviously more concerned than the NBA.

Every March, the basketball wave sweeping the United States moves from the NBA to the NAA. The popularity of the college basketball league known as "March Madness" also surpasses the NBA. Almost everyone in the United States, from the president to civilians, will pay attention to this

The ownership of the college basketball league championship.

No matter in terms of ratings, ticket revenue, or attention, NBA cannot compare to NAA!

Looking at the lively discussion between Li Yuncong and Scarlett, Liu Dong really couldn't get in the conversation at all. He didn't know much about basketball except for occasionally playing with classmates during high school physical education classes, let alone

nba!

But seeing Li Yuncong's interest, Liu Dong didn't want to dampen his interest. Anyway, it was late at night, and the antique market in Los Angeles was probably deserted. Instead of wandering on the street, it would be better to watch a football match!

"Oh, by the way, I have made an appointment with a friend and will introduce him to you then!" Scarlett said.

"That's good, I like making friends the most!"

After Li Yuncong finished speaking, he led Liu Dong and walked forward behind him. After a short time, they arrived at the Staples Arena, which was built less than two years ago. This is also the home court of the Lakers.

From George McCann in the 1950s to Elgin Baylor in the 1960s, Wilt Chamberlain in the 1970s, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson in the 1980s, and now Kobe Bryant and Shaq, the Lakers have

It has won 10 championships and is a well-deserved super powerhouse in the entire NBA basketball league.

Therefore, even though it was just an exhibition game today, the flow of people lining up in front of Staples Arena still surprised Liu Dong, who was here for the first time. (To be continued...)
