legendary point guard

The Hilton family was very satisfied with Paris Hilton's arrangement, although there was a lot of dissatisfaction within the family about her choice to become the CEO of Linsen Company, and there was even talk of taking away her rights as the heir to the Hilton family.

With Paris Hilton's series of outstanding operations in Woodland Company in the past two and a half months, Paris Hilton's ability has not only conquered the discerning Wall Street financial experts and well-known CEOs across the United States, but also made Hilton

Her abilities were recognized within the family.

In the past two and a half months, Paris Hilton has held many events in cooperation with Hilton Hotels. This has made many hotel tycoons dissatisfied with Paris Hilton's unfair competition.

However, Paris Hilton did not let herself become the subject of criticism. Instead, she announced the fees paid by Paris Hilton each time she collaborated with them, and each time they were higher than the normal market price.

This silenced the hotel tycoons who had objections. Before this bidding meeting, Paris Hilton took the opportunity to bid for the qualifications of major hotels online. In the end, Hilton Hotels spent US$5 million to defeat

Many hotels have become the organizers of this event.

Although it costs a lot to host Wood Lin Company activities each time, the advertising effect brought each time is direct, which also quiets down some dissatisfied voices within the family.

"Welcome to our live broadcast, I am the host Erin Andrews, and today I will lead you to watch this bidding meeting that includes the participation of media giants from all over the world.

I think I don’t need to explain in detail about the bidding content, you must have seen our tips.” Erin Andrews appeared on the TV camera.

She is responsible for the live broadcast of today's world-famous bidding meeting. This is also Paris Hilton's method of increasing Lin Sen's income.

When she decided to hold a bidding meeting, many media wanted to broadcast the bidding meeting live. In the end, Paris Hilton chose the bidding mode.

In the end, ESPN defeated ABC, CBS, TNT, and FOX to obtain the exclusive live broadcast rights. Of course, they spent a full $1 million for this. In addition, ESPN will also participate in today's bidding meeting, and Erin Andrews

Will be responsible for the live broadcast of this bidding meeting.

"We can see that the conference hall, which can accommodate 200 people, is very luxuriously decorated. There are some simple food in the corner of the conference hall, which must look delicious.

Behind the auction table is a huge LED screen. The names of the magazines that each of the bidders represents will appear on it. If you have watched the NBA draft, you will be familiar with it. And I heard that as long as the quote appears from that magazine

The logo and name will be enlarged to the entire screen. I think this is also an opportunity to promote the magazine." Erin Andrews pointed to the stage and said.

"In addition, everyone must want to know how these representatives are ranked. To be fair, tonight's seats are based on the global magazine rankings released last year. If nothing else, there were rumors before the game that they were prepared to spend huge sums of money to win the bid.

"TIME" ("Times") will sit at the first table, and at the same table with them will be "Fortune" ("Fortune"), "Vogue" US Edition ("Fashion"), "Vanity Fair"

"("Vanity Fair")."

Erin Andrews introduced quickly, and the participants of the bidding meeting also began to enter the venue.

Under the guidance of the on-site staff, representatives from each family began to take their seats.

"Now all the representatives have arrived, and I have a list in my hand. The representatives participating today include almost all well-known magazines, not only entertainment, fashion, and comprehensive magazines, but also economic magazines and focus

News magazine.

This seems a bit incredible, but the list in my hand is not wrong. In addition, we counted a total of 100 magazines arriving tonight, involving the United States, Britain, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc.

countries and regions.

I don’t know if it will be possible the day I give birth to a child, but I guess it won’t be possible in this lifetime. Unless the child I give birth to is Wood Lin’s child, haha, this is a joke, don’t mind it.” Irene.

Andrews said with a smile.

When Paris Hilton walked in from the conference room, the whole place fell silent.

"Thank you to every guest present. Thank you for everything you have done for charity. Today is a bidding meeting. But in fact, it is the Wood Lin family and our Wood Lin company that do it for charity.

I would also like to thank everyone at Wood Lin Company and our customers. Of course we cannot forget to thank Wood Lin, Natalie Portman, and Lindsay Lohan. Without them, I don’t think we all would be together.

it's here.

Wooden Lin was originally going to come to speak today, but he couldn't come because there was a game tonight, but I believe he is a person who is passionate about charity like everyone else. In addition, after the bidding meeting, we prepared for you tonight's Orlando Magic

Tickets to home game vs. Boston Celtics live game.

There are private rooms and courtside seats to choose from, and the locations are very good. If you are interested, please go there. I think tonight's game will be exciting." Paris wore a see-through black dress with deep V fringes.

Hilton said with a smile.

"I announce that the bidding will officially begin. I would like to invite our auctioneer, Mr. Josh Boone." Paris Hilton pointed to Josh Boone and walked onto the stage.

"Now the bidding will officially begin. The first item to be bid is the first photo of the birth of Natalie Portman's child. The base price is US$100,000. In addition, magazines from the United States and Europe can also participate in the bidding.

They bid through the electronic bidder in their hands below, and as long as the highest bid is sent before the end of this round of bidding, they can obtain the local photo rights, and their final acquisition will not be announced uniformly until the end of the entire bidding session."

After Erin Andrews finished speaking, the logos of various media companies appeared on the LED screen on the stage. They were also arranged according to the seats.

"$200,000." "People" magazine was the first to shout out the quote, and the magazine's logo and quote immediately appeared on the screen.

With the opening of "People" magazine, the bidding will suddenly become enthusiastic, and the prices of each bid will soar quickly just for the first bid.

"OH, it's really crazy. Now the price has reached 800,000 US dollars. You must know that this price has ranked tenth on the celebrity baby price list, and he is alone, not with his parents. This price is indeed far more than

exceeded our expectations.

You can imagine how high the price of the group photos will be in the future. In addition, we need to popularize the knowledge that these prices are not set randomly but have certain basis.

At present, the main reference is the status of the parents, the influence of the parents during pregnancy, whether the parents usually arouse great interest from the public, the mother's beauty index, and the father's handsomeness index.

Finally, based on the above factors, a rigorous calculation of the value of the company photo = the fame of the parents × the charm of the mother during pregnancy × the attractiveness of the parents.

If the child is adopted, two-thirds will be deducted.

From this company, everyone can know that the price of Wood Lin’s children’s photos will not be low.”

While Erin Andrews was speaking, "People" magazine paid $1 million for the first bid, while Britain's "Hello" magazine secured the UK rights for $800,000.

The second bidding item is a separate photo of Lindsay Lohan's child, but Lindsay Lohan and Natalie are not at the same level of fame, and there were many scandals before Lindsay Lohan became pregnant, even if

The base price for the photos of her children, the topic queen of Hollywood, was only US$50,000. The final transaction price was US$500,000.

The photo that was taken at the end of this auction was a photo of Natalie Portman and her children. Since there was also a photo of Lin Sen, Natalie Portman and her children, the bidding for this photo did not show the expected price, and in the end

The American version was bought by Vanity Fair for 2 million.

The photo of Lindsay Lohan and her children followed closely behind and was taken by The New Yorker magazine for 1.4 million. After these four items, the first "gaochao" was ushered in.

The base price for a photo of Lin Sen, Natalie Portman and their children is as high as US$2 million. This price can already rank fourth among birth photos. And this is still the base price.

In the end, after a crazy battle, the fashion magazine "ELLE" paid a record price of 7 million US dollars to obtain this photo, and the subsequent photo of Lindsay Lohan and her children was taken by "Vogue" for 5 million US dollars.

"I think today's big "gaochao" has just arrived. Before, we can see that many magazines have not made much movement. Obviously they are here for the last chance. The last photo will be Linson Natalie Porter.

A photo of Mann, Lindsay Lohan and their children together. The base price of this photo is as high as US$5 million, which will definitely easily surpass the US$7 million price record set by "ELLE" magazine."

What Erin Andrews said is absolutely right. Magazines with ideas and financial resources all waited until the end, even though this photo will cause Natalie Porter to suffer because the baby in Lindsay Lohan's belly was born almost 20 days late.

Man's child has been revealed a long time ago, but this does not affect its value at all.

"The British magazine "Hello!", which previously claimed to have prepared 20 million US dollars, only received the first bid. We can see that the representatives who came on their behalf are now ready to fight, showing that they are different from the previous four rounds.

A different mental state.

In addition, our lens can also see that the same is true of "People" magazine, and the fun is about to begin."

As Erin Andrews finished speaking, the last bidding finally began. This photo, which had a reserve price of 5 million US dollars, was raised to 7 million US dollars by "People" magazine.

"People magazine increased the price by 2 million in one go. It's really crazy for People magazine. It's just the beginning, but I think his price increase will not scare away the competitors who want to win this photo."

The representative of "People" magazine had just finished shouting. "Forbes", which had not made any bids in the previous four rounds, immediately shouted: "8 million!"

Before "Fox" finished speaking, "Hello!" magazine on the other side asked for 10 million. This price made everyone in front of the TV take a breath.

"11 million!"

"12 million!"

"13 million!"

"14 million!"

…

"I think you in front of the TV must be as speechless as me. The world is completely crazy." Erin Andrews at the scene was even more shocked than the audience in front of the TV.

On the spot, "Forbes" quoted again. The price has reached a sky-high price of 17 million.

"17 million for the first time!"

"17 million for the second time!"

"Is there anyone else bidding? 17 million..." Before Josh Boone could shout out for the third time, an offer appeared again below.

"17.5 million!"

However, the quotation of "PEOPLE" magazine made the audience in front of the TV couldn't help but booed. Because all the magazines had previously quoted one million to one million plus, but now they only added five hundred thousand, which was undoubtedly exposed.

This price is close to or even exceeds their original psychological expectations.

Just when everyone thought the quotation was almost over, another voice outside Forbes magazine rang: "19 million!"

"OH, it's Time Magazine. It's been raised by a total of 1.5 million. It's such a crazy big deal." Erin Andrews didn't know what to say anymore.

In fact, what these magazines care about is influence, and the real money is not made by selling magazines. Otherwise, it is not an easy figure to earn 17 million. Otherwise, this offer would not be so crazy.

Just when Josh Boone was about to call out 19 million for the first time, "Forbes" called out a quote of 20 million again.

The representatives from Forbes looked determined to get it. No one knew that Forbes was about to launch a celebrity baby net worth ranking list this year, so they wanted to get this photo so much.

People magazine was a little disappointed, because their previous expectation was 15 million, and the maximum could not exceed 18 million. It was revealed that 17.5 million was already close to their affordability line. Time and Forbes directly broke their affordability.

The "Hello!" magazine on the other side had no regrets, because they finally spent 14 million to obtain the British distribution rights of this photo.

In the end, Forbes, which ranked only 17th in the world last year, defeated Time Magazine for 23 million to obtain the right to use it.

(Note: In fact, the top two real records for celebrity baby photos are held by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. As of the time in the book, the real record has not been reached. In 2010, the couple took photos of twins.

It was sold to "People" magazine and received 16 million US dollars, which was also used for charity, so Xiao Ai is not just making it up without any basis.)

When Erin Andrews had put out the bidding bids from all countries and regions, viewers in front of the TV had already picked up the calculators in their hands or the calculators on their mobile phones and started doing addition calculations.

66.5 million US dollars, which is the final sum of all bids in this bidding meeting.

This price shocked the whole world. Although everyone thought that this bidding would set a record and even start a trend of bidding on photos of a star giving birth to a child, no one thought that the price would be so high.

High. It has far exceeded people's estimates.

Although Lin Sen, who was undergoing pre-game adaptability training at the Water House Center, did not go to the scene, he did not train. Because the team had no intention of training at all, Stan Van Gundy finally agreed not to train.

Everyone in the Magic watched the ESPN live broadcast in the locker room, going crazy with every increase in price. When Forbes magazine bought the photo for a super sky-high price of 23 million, Dwight Howard jumped up instantly.

"Dwight, if you don't play as excitedly as you do tonight, I think you will spend a long time on the bench." Stan Van Gundy looked at Howard and said.

"Dwight, you're done. Kendrick Perkins is not easy to deal with." Billups immediately joked.

"Okay, let's go to training. Stan will blame me if we don't train." Lin Sen clapped his hands and said, although tonight's opponent, the Celtics, won the first meeting of the season, and they were still away from home.

But that game relied on Lin Sen's crazy outburst, especially in the fourth quarter, Lin Sen scored 34 points in a single quarter, setting a new NBA single-quarter scoring record, and his 54 points in the game was also the highest score in his career.

It was thanks to Lin Sen's explosive performance that the Magic defeated the Celtics on the road. Lin Sen also received two technical fouls in a single game for the first time in that game and was ejected.

However, for Boston fans, the memory of that game is obviously dark, especially the throat-slitting salute given to them by Lin Sen at the last moment was a heavy blow.

Although this game is an away game, Boston fans still hope that the Celtics can take away a victory from Orlando.

Orlando fans and the media don't want this. They always firmly believe that the Magic will be able to defend this home court, and they even believe that father-to-be Lin Sen can continue to maintain his hot streak.

The bidding meeting for the Hilton Hotel has ended, and there are groups of reporters outside the Hilton Hotel, all of whom want to get the latest news.

When the big bosses of magazines came out one after another, the reporters at the door were still surprised. Although they had been mentally prepared, they did not expect to attract so many well-known magazines.

The representative of "People" magazine was very dissatisfied that he could not achieve the set goal and refused all reporters' interviews and left alone. Representatives of the British magazines "Hello!" and "Forbes" were happy to cooperate with reporters in interviews.

At the same time, "Hello!" magazine also announced in an interview with reporters that it would invest an additional US$3 million in the Linsen Foundation after its establishment.

On the other hand, "Forbes" magazine announced that it would launch a celebrity baby ranking list for the first time in the next issue of the magazine, and also announced that it would spend an additional 3 million to join charity.

"23 million = one photo" - "USA Today Website".

"Photo Bidding, 66.5 Million Crazy Feast" - "The New York Times Website".

"The Era of Selling Photos Has Come" - "Los Angeles Times Website."......

Almost instantly, the news about this bidding meeting grabbed the headlines of major websites around the world. Whether it was mainstream news, entertainment, economy or fashion, the news was reported.

Yahoo also reported on the home page and provided a public survey on the matter on the home page.

Many netizens are worried that Paris Hilton can't do it. After all, US$66.5 million is not much for Bill Gates's level, but for Lin Sen, this is not a small amount but a huge amount of money.

But soon, Paris Hilton updated the content of today’s bidding meeting on the official website of Woodland Company and opened a charity foundation page on the official website.

Paris Hilton also revealed in an interview that the Wood Lyn Foundation is under preparation. Every penny will be disclosed in detail and subject to public supervision, and it will follow the Gates Foundation model.

Faced with the reporter's concern that he would be unable to do charity due to investment losses, Hilton even made a guaranteed promise that any investment losses would be replenished by Woodland Company.

Lin Sen agreed with Paris Hilton's decision, and he was willing to do so rather than follow suit because the United States has a profound tradition of charity. After all, money is just a number, no matter how much it is.

When the news reached China on the other side of the ocean, the Chinese people were shocked. 66.5 million U.S. dollars were actually sold by selling photos, and more importantly, all the money was donated.

Today, this trend has not yet formed in China. Except for Hong Kong media, not many media in mainland China will spend a lot of money to buy photos of celebrity children. Even if the price is available, it cannot be compared with Europe, the United States, or Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The highest point is that on May 27, 2006, Faye Wong's daughter was worth 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. And Hong Kong media reported that.

The highest in Hong Kong and Taiwan is LUACS, the son of Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung, who set a record for celebrity babies in Hong Kong and Taiwan in May this year. The price of HK$10 million is not the price of birth photos but the price of endorsements.

The price of US$66.5 million undoubtedly illustrates the worth of the Lin Sen family. Some people even joked that if one day Lin Sen really has children with all the women at the crazy Christmas wedding, then the auction price of this family portrait will reach a truly sky-high price.

, it is even likely that multiple magazines will need to join forces to win.

Although it was a joke, it was recognized by many people.

The mothers of two children who participated in the bidding are all in the hospital at the moment. Natalie Portman is lying on the hospital bed in the hospital. She will not be able to go to watch the game tonight. Although she wants to go, she can't resist Lin Sen.

She finally decided to stay in the hospital today to await delivery, and she could only watch the evening game on TV.

Accompanying her are Carolina and Lindsay Lohan. Amanda Seyfried flew away from Orlando for work a few days ago. Her mother Sheryl Stevens will be there today.

I rushed to Orlando to be with her in the evening.

"He kicked me again." Natalie Portman touched her belly and smiled happily, her face full of maternal glory. Although her skin is still as good as after pregnancy, her weight has reached 135 pounds.

She is nearly 40 pounds heavier than before she was pregnant.

And Lindsay Lohan has reached nearly 150 pounds, which is a full 50 pounds heavier than before pregnancy.

"It must be a boy." Carolina touched Natalie Portman's belly. In addition to being happy from the bottom of her heart, she also felt a little envious.

She was also curious about why she couldn't get pregnant at first, but then she gave up the idea of ​​getting pregnant after trying several times in order to be able to take good care of Natalie Portman and Lindsay Lohan.

Lindsay Lohan didn't know what Carolina was thinking, but Natalie Portman knew it very well. She thanked Carolina from the bottom of her heart for her generosity.

"He and the little guy in Lindsay's belly are our children, and we will be very good to them." Natalie Portman held Lindsay Lohan's hand.

"That's right, Nata."

"KK, when we finish giving birth, you can have another baby, so that the little guys can have a companion since childhood. That kind of childhood will be interesting."

"Nata, what are you talking about? I'm not giving birth." Carolina's face turned red. She wouldn't go to the Water House Center to watch the game tonight. Although the hospital has the best special care, Carolina still

worried.

As night fell, fans outside the Waterhouse Center also entered the stadium one after another. This league-wide focus game attracted the attention of fans across the United States.

"Today is really a fulfilling day. I watched the ESPN live broadcast in the morning. I only have one feeling, Bill, do you know what it feels like?" Hoffman turned to look at Bill Walton.

"Oh, how does it feel? Do you want to have one too?" Bill Walton laughed. "Even if you give them money, they won't let you be on the cover."

"Bill, you hurt me. That's not what I want to say. What I want to say is that the gap between people is too big. Just five photos, my God, they sold nearly 66.5 million US dollars worldwide. This

It’s really unbelievable, but my feeling is more that celebrities, please have more children, then the whole world will be protected by this.”

"Oh, some people will scold you because you have cut off their financial resources. Not everyone is like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Wood who use all their income for benefit and need help.

people."

Bill Walton's words are absolutely correct, but the actions of Lin Sen and the earlier Brand Pitts undoubtedly set a benchmark for others, especially Lin Sen's use of all 66.5 million yuan for charity this time.

If in the future those celebrities use the money earned from their children's photos for themselves, they will undoubtedly be questioned by the public.

"You did a good job. I saw it in the hotel. I'm proud of you." Garnett walked up to Lin Sen and gave Lin Sen a hug.

"KG, what you said makes me feel like I am your child." Lin Sen said with a smile.

"I will also donate money after your foundation is established, but I am not going to give you my blessing during tonight's game."

"Hey, I don't need your blessing, and do you think you can take away the victory?"

"See you in the game then." Garnett and Lin Sen fist bumped and separated. Lin Sen then briefly greeted the rest of the Celtics, and the game was about to begin.

"A good game is about to begin. Let's see if Wood, who set several records in Boston last time, will explode in his home court and as an expectant father." Hoffman said while looking at the court.

Just as the game between the Magic and Celtics started, Natalie Portman in the hospital felt her stomach hurt more than usual, but as usual, the pain got better after a while.

This made Carolina and Lindsay Lohan breathe a sigh of relief, and Carolina almost called a doctor.

"This little guy troubles me to death. He is just as bad as his father." Natalie Portman breathed a sigh of relief and touched her belly with her hand.

"Nata Wood, why are you torturing you?" Carolina joked. At this time, Lin Sen faced Ray Allen's defense and hit a jumper. The cheers of the fans at the scene could be heard on the TV.

"Oh, Wood made the gesture of sucking a pacifier. Our father-to-be, Wood, can't wait to be a father." Bill Walton said with a smile, looking at Lin Sen who was celebrating on the court.

The game continued, and the father-to-be Lin Sen was in excellent condition as in the previous games. Doc Rivers had a headache watching Lin Sen on the court.

The entire team has protected Lin Sen from inside to outside, but they still failed to effectively contain Lin Sen.

"It's Wood again, this time it's an assist from Wood. After Ron caught the ball, he helped James Posey succeed in shooting. Look at Doug's depressed look. It's not easy to restrict Wood today, but fortunately today

Boston's offense did pretty well late at night," Bill Walton said with a smile.

At this time, the big screen clearly showed 24:20, and the Orlando Magic, playing at home, were leading by 4 points.

There were still three minutes left before the end of the first quarter. Stan Van Gundy looked at the time and prepared to continue making substitution adjustments.

Back on the offensive end, the Celtics made a coordinated effort and finally handed the ball to Pierce.

With just a chance, Pierce made a jump shot directly against Artest's defense. His shot went smoothly into the basket and helped the Celtics catch up to only two points.

"PP's touch was also good tonight. Ron's steps were just a little slower, which gave him a chance. Moreover, PP rarely took the initiative in singles tonight, and more often took shots from his teammates."

Bill Walton glanced at Paul Pierce: "Obviously PP consciously shared his energy tonight. This style of play can ensure that he has more energy later on. After all, this game is not an ordinary game.

It is no surprise that the entire Eastern Conference will enter the finals with one of the three teams of Orlando, Boston and Cleveland.

Judging from the previous games this season, Boston and Cleveland played against each other twice and won all of them. From the game, it can be seen that Boston is not afraid of Cleveland, even if they did not win by many points against Cleveland in the end, and the game against Orlando was also very good.

Jiao Zhuo didn't lose much, but it was obvious that the two teams treated them differently."

At this time, Lin Sen changed directions on the court and accelerated his breakthrough to get rid of Ray Allen's defense and penetrated inside. Natalie Portman, who was in the hospital, had stomach pain again.
