Chapter 322 The Owner of Paris Saint-Germain
At noon, Wang Xiucheng went downstairs.
Representatives from Jennie and the other three members' agency have arrived. It seems they've arranged several gigs for them in Doha, and they probably won't be back until very late today.
Since Fahad did not invite Bruno, Wang Xiucheng naturally would not take it upon himself to bring him along.
As soon as I stepped out of the hotel, Fahad, who was waiting there, greeted me warmly.
Farhad was still dressed in an outfit that made him look like "the richest man in the world with a piece of cloth on his head".
"Your Majesty, have you rested well? Please get in the carriage."
Parked in front of the hotel was a customized Rolls-Royce.
Although it's not extravagantly gold, it certainly doesn't look cheap.
“Let me take you to our biggest shopping center first,” Fahad continued. “Mr. Jassim would like to see you later.”
"Mr. Jassim?"
If it were other Chinese people, they might not be able to distinguish the names of Qataris at all. If they couldn't compare them with the image in their minds, they wouldn't be able to tell who was who.
“Jassim?” Wang Xiucheng asked seriously, “Is it Mr. Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani?”
“Yes.” The Dumpling Skin Prince nodded immediately, his eyes wide with shock. “How did Mr. Wang know about Jassim?”
“Oh, I saw a photo of Mr. Jassim standing next to Beckham. He’s just as good-looking as Beckham, so I remembered his name,” Wang Xiucheng said.
Jassim was very proud to hear this, as he admired Mr. Jassim the most.
“I happened to see Mr. Jassim yesterday and told him about your trip to Qatar to watch the World Cup. Mr. Jassim said he would definitely treat you to a meal.”
Farhad shrugged: "You know Jassim has always had an extremely strong passion for sports, whether it's football or basketball."
Wang Xiucheng nodded. Jassim was originally the heir to the throne of Qatar, but he later gave it up and personally established the modern Qatar Aspire Sports Academy.
But what is more widely known is that the Qatar Sports Investment Fund, headed by Jassim, acquired Paris Saint-Germain.
And they spared no expense to have Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar play for the same team.
This year's Qatar World Cup was also something Jassim strongly advocated for.
While chatting, the two took a car to the largest shopping mall in Qatar, Vandham.
People of all skin colors and appearances strolled through the mall.
It was during the World Cup that people from all over the world gathered here, and even players and their families from some countries would come here to stroll around after being eliminated.
Farhad walked ahead, introducing the various brands in the mall to Wang Xiucheng.
The three were followed by a dozen or so people carrying briefcases and wearing white headscarves.
Anyone who tries to approach Wang Xiucheng and his group will be closely watched by these people.
There were also many Chinese tourists in the mall. Wang Xiucheng took photos with them from time to time and strolled around the mall for two hours.
Wang Xiucheng really wanted to ask how long they were going to shop, but he knew the principle of "when in Rome, do as the Romans do."
Wang Xiucheng was fine and didn't feel tired.
After all, it has a stamina value of 93.
On the contrary, Fahad sat down to rest, with various drinks in his hand.
Finally, around 3 p.m., the two got back into the car and arrived at Jassim's house.
Although it's called a "home," it covers a vast area and features a distinctly Arabic architectural style.
Jassim, wearing a white headscarf, stood at the door.
Upon seeing Wang Xiucheng and Fahad leave the field, Jassim immediately came over.
"Hello, Mr. Jassim."
After all, the other party was a former heir to the throne, so Wang Xiucheng dared not act carelessly.
Unexpectedly, Jassim laughed and said, "I've been waiting for you for so long. Come with me quickly so I can show you my collection and help me authenticate the jerseys."
As he spoke, Jassim pulled Wang Xiucheng into the house.
Wang Xiucheng looked completely bewildered and didn't dare to ask a question.
He had just seen a number of police officers on camels patrolling the gate of the manor.
Soon, Wang Xiucheng became increasingly surprised.
A huge room appeared before Wang Xiucheng's eyes.
Or perhaps a showroom would be a more appropriate name.
At first glance, it's filled with all sorts of sports-related things.
Soccer, basketball, baseball, and even things Wang Xiucheng had never seen before.
Wang Xiucheng immediately noticed the various autographed jerseys hanging on the wall.
Although he didn't recognize the signature, Wang Xiucheng could still tell the difference from the jersey's appearance and number.
Jordan, Maradona, Baggio, and even Chamberlain.
Jassim was clearly very proud of his collection and began to introduce it to Wang Xiucheng.
"This is the jersey of Maradona's Hand of God."
Wang Xiucheng looked over and saw that the jersey had been framed, with an introduction below it.
To be honest, Wang Xiucheng didn't know if the jersey was real or fake, but since it appeared in Jassim's house, it couldn't be fake, right?
Indeed, many buyers were anonymous when these jerseys were auctioned.
And even if someone else buys it, it doesn't mean Jassim can't buy it back; it just means he'll have to spend a little more money.
It's just money; we can get it by mining a few more barrels of oil.
“This one,” Jassim pointed to another jersey, “the one Chamberlain wore in the 1972 Finals.”
"this……"
As Jassim introduced each item, Wang Xiucheng's eyes widened more and more.
These white headscarves are used to collect jerseys, much like how I collected Ultraman cards when I was a kid.
A dozen minutes later, Jassim arrived at a table with a red jersey on it, along with an autograph.
"This is it, can you check if it's real?"
Wang Xiucheng was completely dumbfounded.
Because this jersey is actually the Houston Rockets' number 12 jersey.
This is the jersey he wore with the Rockets.
Moreover, the signature in Chinese characters was indeed written by Wang Xiucheng himself.
The date, "211024," was also written on it.
It means October 21, 2021.
That was the day Wang Xiucheng made his first appearance on the NBA court.
Wang Xiucheng was dumbfounded. "Mr. Jassim, where did you get this jersey?"
"Of course I bought it. I bought it from a Chinese guy for $15." Jassim was quite pleased with himself. "Cheap, right?"
Wang Xiucheng remembered that when the game ended, he did sign his jersey and throw it to a Chinese-American child in the stands who looked to be only about ten years old.
But Jassim actually treasures his own jersey?
This made Wang Xiucheng very embarrassed.
"It is indeed true," Wang Xiucheng could only say.
Jassim breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; it wasn't a fake!
Over the years, he has wasted a lot of money and bought a lot of counterfeit goods.
Jassim picked up the camera next to him and then surprisingly asked Fahad to take a picture of him with Wang Xiucheng, who was holding a jersey.
Wang Xiucheng cooperated with a black line on his face.
What else can we do? We're at someone else's house; how can we not cooperate?
