Bishop of the Devil

On July 7, at four o'clock in the afternoon, many wedding guests had already begun to arrive.

The wedding dinner is scheduled to officially start at six o'clock in the evening. Many guests have arrived early to find guests they are familiar with and sit down to reminisce about the past.

Countless big-shot figures came from the sports, entertainment and political and business circles. Hundreds of reporters outside the manor were already waiting for the wedding to begin.

"God, Michael Jackson is really here, the quality of this wedding is simply amazing."

"Kobe Bryant, O'Brien, Ben, Yao Ming, so many NBA stars are here, good guys, almost all the famous figures in the NBA are here..."

"There are also many team owners here. God, Shaq is here too? I didn't expect that Richard actually invited Shaq. The key is that Shaq actually came..."

"Vice President Cheney is here. It's only five o'clock now. It's really honorable for him to come so early."

"Those are all superstars in the NFL. Do you think Richard will be like Paul Allen and enter the NFL in the future? Based on his selection vision, it seems that this is really a possibility."

"Only the devil knows. Don't think so much and just take pictures. There are many female celebrities here."

"Do you think Richard has played with these female stars? I feel that with his financial resources, he has probably played with many female stars, right?"

"Hush, it's my wedding day, what nonsense are you talking about..."

"I really envy Richard. This guy is simply the pride of heaven. Ten years ago he was an unknown nobody. Ten years later, he has become the most dazzling man in the United States."

"There is no way, this is life, you can't be envious."

The reporters were chatting while taking photos. These photos will definitely be the headlines of all media tomorrow.

Sports media, entertainment media, political and business media, financial media, any media will inevitably publish the grand occasion of Richard's wedding.

"Huh, golden dragon, how does it look?" Richard put on his suit and looked in the mirror and asked the golden dragon beside him.

"He's very energetic, and he's much more handsome than me, the best man." Golden Dragon said with a smile.

He is the best man at Richard's wedding today, and of course he is not the only one in the groomsmen group...

Originally, the group of West Lafayette gangsters heard that Richard was finally getting married, and all of them were going to be in the best man group. Those who were married were naturally out of business, and there were still about ten people who remained single. .

Yao Ming took the initiative to take on the job of best man, but was rejected by Richard...

Are you kidding me? Yao Ming's height standing next to him makes him look like a hobbit!

Even if it's not Yao Ming, other players are much taller than Richard. Richard will definitely not let these players be the groomsmen.

In the end, the job fell to the Golden Dragon.

"BOSS, last night I made an agreement with the guys from Facebook to give them a capital injection of one million US dollars, and we will get 34% of the share."

"I have a hunch that this million will bring us extremely generous returns." Golden Dragon said with a smile.

Richard adjusted his suit, nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, you did a good job on this."

Not many people know about Facebook, which Zuckerberg launched in February this year.

Richard's capital injection is considered an angel investment...

Under normal circumstances, Paypal gave Zuckerberg an angel investment of US$500,000 in September, and this investment made Paypal a huge profit.

Of course, Richard is not saying that he cannot increase the proportion of equity. For example, he can spend 5 million US dollars or 10 million US dollars to directly buy 90% of Facebook's shares.

But this approach is actually quite stupid. It is very likely that Zuckerberg fell into corruption with this money. After all, he only has less than ten stocks left, so how can he work hard?

So in the end, Richard chose a relatively safe amount, one-third, not too much, and certainly not too little.

…

"Jin Long, how much money do I have now?" Richard thought about this and asked curiously.

It's really not clear how much he is worth.

"After the capital verification was completed, the US$150 million was invested back into the stock market. Currently, our liquidity is less than US$30 million."

"Including the value of stocks and the value of some projects, it is about US$420 million."

"But based on the current situation, it may double in five years."

Richard nodded. In fact, what Golden Dragon said was too conservative. If nothing else, Apple stock alone would more than double Richard's worth in five years.

Now that he has obtained one-third of Facebook's equity, Richard dare not even think about how much money he will have in five years.

Anyway, it is definitely enough for me to easily buy an NBA team, or even two.

Of course, the NBA Management Committee will definitely not allow such a thing to happen.

"The diamond ring business will start after the year. Suppliers and channels are being negotiated. The problem is not big." Huang Jinlong said with another smile.

Richard nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I won't mention these things this year. It's almost time for us to appear, right?"

…

Although the wedding is extremely grand, the process is not complicated, at least it is much simpler than domestic weddings.

There is no process for both parents to give red envelopes, and there is no process for calling dad and mom.

If there really was a process for giving red envelopes, Richard would still be looking forward to it...

I don’t know how many red envelopes my mother-in-law will give me.

"Let me in!"

"Richard is my cousin, he must still remember me."

Outside the stadium, a tall, thin young black man clamored to enter, but because he did not have an invitation, the security guards would not let him in.

"Are you his cousin? Young man, can you look at your skin color first..." the security guard complained speechlessly.

"We are really cousins. He must remember me..." Looking at the black man who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he continued to yell.

The security guard was afraid that this kid would cause trouble here, so he immediately drove him away.

…

Richard must not have known that he had an "extra" relative, and he was listening to Jackson's song backstage at the moment.

Even Richard was secretly stunned by Paul Allen's energy. His cheap uncle could actually invite a superstar like Jackson.

After Jackson finished singing "you-are-not-alone", the wedding officially began.

"Mr. Richard, are you convinced that this marriage is given by God, and are you willing to accept Ms. Tiana Allen as your wife?"

"I do!"

"Ms. Tiana Allen, are you convinced that this marriage is given by God, and are you willing to accept Mr. Richard as your husband?"

"I do!"

The priest's oath was quite simple, and it was Richard's request...

At weddings in previous lives, the officiant would always ask about life, old age, sickness, death, poverty and poverty at this point in time, as if he was cursing.

…

Under the witness of the pastor, the couple exchanged diamond rings.

The 12-carat diamond ring caused the actresses at the scene to exclaim and praise. Women are inherently resistant to such shiny things.

The moment he put the ring on Tiana, Richard's heart surged. He finally had a family and a family now.

…

After the wedding process was completed, the celebrities at the scene began to gather together in twos and threes. This wedding can also be regarded as a sorority party for these celebrities.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, they also want to develop their own connections.

…

On the night after the wedding, something happened that cannot be described in detail. We worked hard and waited for the harvest...

…

Knowing that Richard would participate in the Olympics next, Tiana directly scheduled their honeymoon trip in Athens.

After Yao Ming and Dazhi attended Richard's wedding, they returned directly to China to participate in the men's basketball training camp to prepare for the Athens Olympics.

Speaking of which, Richard was still a little excited.

If he can really defeat the American team and win the men's basketball gold medal at this year's Athens Olympics, then he will be completely famous in the country.

I'm afraid this will become the biggest monument in the history of Chinese basketball.

It's very difficult, but that doesn't mean there's no chance at all. As long as you can defeat the Argentine team, you'll have a chance to get the gold medal.

The lineup of the Dream Team has been decided a long time ago, with Larry Brown as the coach, and there are many acquaintances of Richard on the twelve-man roster.

Iverson, Marbury, Boozer, Melo, James, Wade, Okafor, Marion, Duncan, Stoudemire, Odom and Richard Jefferson.

Judging from this lineup, the strength is naturally quite impressive, but the problem is not without problems. There are really too many new players in the team.

Wade, James and Anthony are all second-year players. As for Okafor, he has never even played in a professional league.

Marbury, Boozer, Odom and Jefferson are a bit lacking in terms of strength.

Anyway, the strength of this Dream Six team is much worse than that of the previous Dream Team. In addition, the team lacks outside offensive firepower, so losing to Argentina is not unimaginable.

For the Chinese men's basketball team, in fact, the best grouping situation is not to encounter the American team, let the Argentine team solve the American team, and then they will play the first Argentine team, so that the chance of winning will be greater.
