"Is that more than 20 billion U.S. dollars thing true?" Director Ma's voice had a hint of awe on the phone.
"It's true." Zhang Guan replied.
"Do you really have more than 20 billion US dollars?" Director Ma confirmed again.
"It's not cash, it's stock assets. If the stock falls, it might not be worth that much!" Zhang Guan replied.
"Awesome, awesome!" Director Ma kept repeating this word.
After ending the call with Director Ma, Zhang Guan let out a long sigh. He could feel that Director Ma was a completely different person when he was talking to him.
Before that, Zhang Guan was an athlete, and Director Ma was still talking and laughing when he faced Zhang Guan. But now, Zhang Guan has become a billionaire. This wealth has established a kind of relationship between him and Director Ma. gap.
"Perhaps there is a barrier between my former friends!" Zhang Guan sighed in disappointment.
This is the horror of wealth. There is a saying that rich people have more money and fewer friends, while poor people have less money and fewer friends. Sometimes people who are too rich may not have many true friends. Perhaps for those billionaires who are worth a lot of money, their so-called friends are just a need for interpersonal relationships.
Zhang Guan was still sighing when his cell phone rang again.
"Is it Hermione? It's just dawn in England, right?" Zhang Guan answered the phone.
"I didn't sleep all night, I was so scared!" Hermione's voice was trembling.
"Afraid? What's wrong? Are you having a nightmare?" Zhang Guan asked.
"No! I'm afraid you'll leave me!" Hermione paused, then said, "I've been in love with you since I was fourteen, but last night, for the first time, I felt that we were in two different worlds. people!"
"Is it because of those shares in FB?" Zhang Guan asked.
Hermione didn't answer, but this silence was tantamount to acquiescence.
"Silly girl!" Zhang Guan shook his head helplessly.
Zhang Guan spent a lot of effort to comfort Hermione, and during this period, his cell phone kept ringing, and text messages came one after another.
Zhang Guan knew that he might not have any leisure time next...
…
Things were just as Zhang Guan expected. In the next few days, he received constant calls and text messages. Almost everyone who knew Zhang Guan called him or sent him text messages. The head of F1 Bernie even asked if he wanted to buy another racing team for fun.
In addition, more people came to ask for donations. Zhang Guan was not surprised by this. The five hundred million US dollars last time had already attracted a lot of prying eyes. Whether they knew him or not, they all wanted to take a piece of meat from Zhang Guan. And this time 22.8 billion U.S. dollars, there are naturally more people coming to ask for money.
However, the U.S. stock market did Zhang Guan a favor. After the opening of the new week, FB's stock price fell to 34.4 US dollars. Zhang Guan's assets shrank by more than 2 billion US dollars overnight.
Zhang Guan immediately grabbed this life-saving straw and found various media to promote it. Reports such as "Zhang Guan lost a huge 2 billion US dollars overnight", "Zhang Guan's wealth shrank significantly", "Zhang Guan suffered a huge loss, FB stock ushered in a selling wave", "It will fall again, Zhang Guan's assets will shrink by half" and other reports , flooded the media overnight.
This has deterred some people who want to come to enjoy the autumn wind to a certain extent. It has always been the big gainers, and there is no reason to take advantage of the "losing households". People have already lost blood and still want money. Most people really can't let go of this face.

June 9th. Paris France!
Sharapova won the Susan Legrand Cup, which symbolizes the French Open women's singles championship.
"I finally won a Grand Slam!" Sharapova couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.
Grand Slam, a team is her dream. Since entering the professional tennis world in 2002, it took her 10 years to finally achieve her dream.
"Next, I will be the Olympic champion, and I will also win the Golden Slam!" Sharapova's eyes were full of determination, and when she thought of the Olympics and the Golden Slam, she couldn't help but think of Zhang Guan. The man she once loved deeply.
"We will meet him again in the Olympics! I heard that he is now a billionaire." Sharapova suddenly felt a sadness in her heart, which was a feeling of grievance.
Four years ago, for her dream and the Grand Slam, she gave up love and devoted herself to tennis. But now, her dream has come true, but it makes her feel extremely wronged.
"Grand Slam? Is it all worth it?" Sharapova doubted her choice for the first time.
"He must have lived a pretty good life these years! The Olympics are about to start in more than a month anyway. Let's go and meet him during the Olympics!" Sharapova thought silently.

July 10, London.
There are more than two weeks left before the opening of the London Olympics, and preparations for the Olympics have also entered the final sprint stage. At this time, Sebastian, as the chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, is naturally based in London.
"Registration for the Olympic Games has ended. Zhang Guan's participation in track and field events has been restricted this time. I don't know which three events he will participate in." Sebastian thought of this and picked up the phone.
"Mr. Chairman, according to the registration information, the three track and field events that Zhang Guanshui has signed up for are the men's long jump, the men's 5,000-meter long-distance run and the men's 10,000-meter long-distance run," the staff member said.
"Long-distance running? Are you sure?" Sebastian asked in surprise.
"Yes, it is indeed a long-distance run." The staff member replied after confirming.
"Zhang Guan actually signed up for the long-distance running event!" Sebastian suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy.
"Why did Zhang Guan participate in long-distance running? I didn't expect that he gave up sprinting and middle-distance running and switched to long-distance running. When did he start practicing long-distance running?" Sebastian was a little confused about Zhang Guan's plan.
But soon, Sebastian put this matter behind him. As the chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, he had too many things to do, and it was impossible to focus all his attention on Zhang Guan. .

London Heathrow Airport.
"Come to London again!" Zhang Guan looked around. He came back to Heathrow Airport almost every year and was quite familiar with it.

"Sebastian, I'm here to trouble you again!"
