Chapter 1964 - 516: Prearranged Winter Break Signings

"Thank you, Kevin, and thanks to Chris for the jewelry he gave me."

The lady of the Ma Family said with a smile.

"He deserved it. Did he tell you about his experiences this holiday?"

Huang Kaiwen asked.

"Of course, but it sounds exaggerated. I’m not sure if he was telling the truth." The lady of the Ma Family said.

Paol Maldini shouted, "Don’t leave our guest standing at the door."

"Are you getting jealous, old man?"

Huang Kaiwen joked.

Paol Maldini rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, yes, I admit it, okay?"

Adriana pulled Lily into the kitchen.

Huang Kaiwen found a seat at the dining table.

"Chris told me that you found a treasure and that you’re giving him a share?"

Paol Maldini looked at Huang Kaiwen and asked.

"Yes, but it’s less than I expected."

Huang Kaiwen sighed.

"I see."

Paol Maldini smiled and consoled him, "That’s still not bad. As long as you’re all safe, treasures aren’t that easy to find. Chris said he’ll let you manage his share until he turns adult. I have no objections, but he didn’t tell me how much it is. How much is it, by the way?"

"Roughly estimated at 150 million dollars," Huang Kaiwen said.

Cough, cough...

Paol Maldini nearly choked, hurriedly put down his wine glass, and asked, "Is that in total?"

"No, that’s Chris’s share."

Huang Kaiwen said with a smile.

Paol Maldini’s eyes widened, and he breathed heavily.

Adriana, who had been listening, dropped the plate in her hand and, with soprano-like urgency, asked, "Kevin, I might have misheard, how much did you say?"

"About 150 million dollars, Chris’s share." Huang Kaiwen repeated with a toothy grin.

"Ah ah ah..."

Adriana screamed for a while.

"Can I reconsider what I said earlier?"

Maldini said with a bitter smile.

Huang Kaiwen shrugged and said, "We should respect Chris’s wishes. He’s already a big boy; if he wanted, he could get married next year."

Italy allows marriage at 18, but with court approval, it can be reduced to 16.

"He’s just a child."

Adriana chimed in.

"But he’s a child who has fought against the Nazis and served on a U-boat. Such experiences are richer than yours and Cesare’s."

Huang Kaiwen said, blinking.

"How did you know I was here, Kevin? I specifically hid upstairs."

Old Maldini walked down, holding Kevin Maldini.

"I noticed the shoes at the entrance."

Huang Kaiwen raised his glass towards Old Maldini and said, "Old but classic design, well taken care of. I don’t think Paul has such taste, and he’s lazy, so the owner of those men’s shoes could only be you."

Old Maldini nodded with a smile and said, "You truly have sharp eyes, absolutely right."

"Uncle Kevin."

Little Kevin leapt into Huang Kaiwen’s arms.

Huang Kaiwen could only hold the little guy.

Lily asked, "Why haven’t I seen Chris and Danny?"

"Danny heard Chris made money and begged him all day to buy him a new pair of Kevin sneakers." Paul Ma stressed the last few words, complaining, "I never thought a pair of sneakers could sell for 570 Euros, and even the kids’ version isn’t discounted."

Huang Kaiwen shrugged it off and said, "You should know, I just lend my name, Adidas sets the price."

He never thought the same model as the one used to thrash Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League final would sell for so much.

Regular sneakers are around 100 Euros, no more than 200 Euros at most.

You can get a pair for 70 or 80 Euros during sales.

But the Yellow Ball King’s pair equals the price of several of others’.

"Limited edition things are always expensive."

Old Maldini said, "During wartime, even the food we ate was limited."

Huang Kaiwen raised his glass with a smile and said, "To peace."

Everyone at the table raised their glasses as well.

Huang Kaiwen and Lily stayed at the Ma Family’s home until after 10 o’clock, then left with Cesare.

Early the next morning, Huang Kaiwen flew to Dublin.

Dublin City Hall.

Dublin Mayor Gerry Breen stood on stage and said, "Today, we are fortunate to invite Kevin to Dublin, to participate in our cultural week, and to better showcase our country and city to the world. Next, let’s welcome Kevin to the stage."

Huang Kaiwen walked to the stage, adjusted the microphone height, and said, "I once heard many rumors like the Irish love potatoes, or that all Irish are Mafia, but I never believed them. After coming to Dublin, I’m even more certain. I understand Irish history well; the Irish people have suffered greatly, and without the urge to stave off hunger, no one would only eat potatoes, no one would leave their beloved homeland..."

Before Huang Kaiwen could finish speaking, thunderous applause erupted below.

It was almost like slapping the face of the British, and they were glad to hear Huang Kaiwen say it.

After about five minutes, Huang Kaiwen continued, "Due to tax reasons, many companies have set their European headquarters in Ireland, making the GDP here high, but your life may not be better. I can’t help everyone worldwide, but I’m willing to contribute to Ireland. All my earnings from being invited as Dublin’s Tourism Ambassador, and some of my personal funds, will be donated to local schools because only knowledge can change destiny. I hope the children can create a better Ireland, thank you, that’s all I want to say."
