Chapter 261 Chinese New Year

On January 31, the Suns returned to Phoenix.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Wang and Liu Changfeng drove away from the headquarters and went directly to the city center.

When they arrived at the Binger Building, they parked their car in the parking lot outside and walked towards the lobby on the first floor.

The Bingge Building is a commercial building, with dozens of companies of various sizes inside, but only about half of the space is occupied, and the remaining half is empty, so business is not very good.

This situation made him a little worried that if he couldn't rent out his Fengshen Street in the future, he would suffer a loss. Did he really want to plant dozens of acres of wheat in the center of the capital?

"Hey, old K."

"Old K, when will your martial arts studio open?"

"Hey, hello everyone. The martial arts gym is almost here. You're welcome to come and visit us then."

After entering the lobby on the first floor and greeting some people there, he and Liu Changfeng entered the elevator and went down to the first floor.

The elevator door opened, and outside was a separate closed corridor with an iron door. When the door was opened, his martial arts gym was inside.

The martial arts hall has been renovated. On both sides of the iron door are two rows of offices, lounges, storage rooms, etc., with more than 20 partitions.

The space outside is the field, the left quarter is the equipment, and the right three-quarters is the martial arts training ground, which is very wide.

As soon as the two entered the iron gate, they saw a group of people moving around the equipment. It was Wang Tielong and five others, and Hawksman was also there.

"Lance."

After greeting Hawksman first, he smiled and shouted at Wang Tielong and the other five: "Brother Tielong, we haven't seen you for a long time."

"Iron Army."

"Brother Tiejun."

Five people trotted over and swarmed up.

These five people are obviously headed by Wang Tielong. He is the oldest, 33 years old, older than Wang Tiejun. He is 185 centimeters tall, has a big body and round waist, a Chinese-shaped face, firm eyes, and is as sharp as a knife.

He practiced Tongjiquan and Bajiquan since he was a child. He joined the army at the age of 18 and became a scout within a month of joining the army. He stayed in Lao* Mountain for a year in the late 1980s and survived. He achieved first-class merit once and twice.

Second-class meritorious service, he was discharged from the army after being injured, and then went to work in the south.

Wang Tielong walked up to Wang Tiejun, looked him over, and punched Lao Wang in the chest. Then he sighed and said, "Tiejun, I haven't seen him in three years. He is completely different. He is so tall and strong."

Lao Wang laughed loudly and said later: "Brother Tielong, when you went to Guangzhou, I was only two meters tall and less than a hundred kilograms. I can't compare with what I am now."

"Why do you suddenly want to open a martial arts gym in the United States? Uncle Patriot and Auntie thought you were in trouble, so they called me back. Are you really in trouble here?" Wang Tielong asked in a deep voice.

"No, my parents are overthinking it. I just want to open a martial arts gym. It's boring to be alone here. I can have some company when you come." Lao Wang said with a smile.

"That's good. But if you have any difficult tasks, you can leave it to us. When we come here, the three of us can do anything." Nodding, Wang Tielong said.

"Brother Tielong, why aren't you married yet?" Lao Wang asked.

Wang Tielong shook his head and said: "It's not like you don't know the situation in my family. My brothers and sisters are all grown up. Those who want to get married should get married, and those who are looking for their husband's family should look for their husband's family. I am the eldest, so I have to take care of them first. If they don't get married, they can't get married."

, How can I, a brother, only care about myself?"

Lao Wang nodded and said, "Now that they are all well, you have to take care of yourself, right?"

"Isn't this coming to you? That guy Liu Changfeng has been with you for a year, bought a house in the capital, and found a wife. I am pointing at you." Wang Tiejun said with a rare smile.

"Don't worry, Brother Tielong, I will definitely find a foreign woman for you." Lao Wang said with a smile.

"Haha..." Wang Tieshu and Wang Tieshan, the four of them, burst into laughter.

"How dare you kid to tease me?"

Wang Tielong laughed and cursed, then said: "I'm still going to save some money and go home to have a wife. Foreign wives can't stand it."

Lao Wang chatted with Wang Tieshu and Wang Tieshan for a few more words.

Both of them were several years older than him. They had a large family and poor conditions. They were in the same situation as Wang Tielong. They also had many younger brothers and sisters. Even the younger ones had not married yet.

The two of them also practiced martial arts since childhood and joined the army when they grew up. Like Wang Tielong, they also fought in the south. Because they practiced martial arts since they were young, they have excellent qualities and have good skills in their hands. They are also scouts and have seen blood.

Everyone gained.

The four cousins ​​have not seen each other for several years. Although they have been separated by two or three generations, they still have a strong relationship whenever they meet.

Next to them, the three brothers Liu Changfeng also chatted affectionately.

The three brothers and Wang Tiejun were not from the same village. They knew each other but were not too familiar with each other. However, now that they are tied together, they have become familiar with each other.

"Old K, when are you going to open?" Hoxman asked at this time.

"This year's All-Star Game is very cooperative. It happens to be held in Phoenix, and I'm planning to open during the All-Star Weekend." He said.

Hawksman nodded and said: "All-Star Weekend is from the 9th to the 14th. You choose a day and I will make preparations for you."

"I'll think about it. I'll look at the auspicious day first and then talk about it." He nodded.

"Auspicious day?"

Hawksman repeated these four words, not knowing their meaning.

"Brother Tiejun, I brought the almanac." Liu Changjiang shouted.

"That's just right, take it out and take a look." Lao Wang said quickly.

Several people came here directly from the airport, and their luggage was also here. Each person had two large woven bags. These things don't look good, but they are really useful for carrying things.

Liu Changjiang, Liu Changfeng's third brother, quickly took out the almanac from his woven bag.

"Yangjiang, why are you still carrying this thing?" Lao Wang asked with a smile as he took it over.

"You don't have to choose a good day to open a martial arts gym. I specially prepared it." Liu Changjiang said with a smile.

"Well prepared."

Lao Wang nodded. This cousin, who is one year younger than him, is indeed a meticulous person and can be the steward of a martial arts gym in the future.

He definitely doesn't have time to manage the martial arts gym himself. The martial arts gym will be handed over to Brother Tie Long in the future, with Liu Changjiang helping to take care of everything.

He flipped through it and found that the day on the 10th was really good, so it was a good time to open.

The good day is scheduled for February 10, 1995, the eleventh day of the first lunar month, and the time is 10:18 in the morning.

After the date was decided, Hawksman left first. He had to prepare for the opening, including setting up the venue, inviting guests, etc. As an agent, although these things have nothing to do with basketball, he still had to do it.

"Brother Tielong, what do you think of this place?" Lao Wang asked, looking at the venue.

Wang Tielong stepped on the wooden floor under his feet and said: "It's not hard enough, cement floor is the best, hard soil and blue bricks are also good."

Lao Wang was startled, then he laughed and said: "Brother, you can find another place to practice your own martial arts. This place is for students to practice, so we can only use this one."

Nodding, Wang Tielong expressed his understanding.

"Let's go home. The family is preparing the New Year's Eve dinner." At this time, Lao Wang said.

A group of seven people left the martial arts hall immediately. Their luggage was left here for the time being. They would come back to pick it up after the New Year's Eve dinner. However, they would not live here. Wang Tiejun had already rented a house and rented a large room in this building.

Opened for bedroom.

The seven people happened to sit down in Lao Wang's Mercedes-Benz seven-seater SUV, and they arrived at home twenty minutes later.

At 4:30, Yu Feihong and Tian Xiaofen were preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, and Tian Xiaofen was the chef.

In addition, Lao Wang also invited Zhang Lili and five others to celebrate the New Year together in a lively and lively atmosphere. They were making dumplings.

"Feihong, Brother Zhang, this is Wang Tielong, my cousin."

"Brother Tielong, this is Yu Feihong, my girlfriend, this is Brother Zhang, Zhang Lili, this is..."

After the seven people entered, they greeted each other for a while. After getting to know each other, they all started to get busy. Those who were cooking were cooking, and those who were making dumplings were making dumplings.

At six o'clock, the sky in Phoenix had already darkened, and a large table of dishes was placed. More than a dozen people were sitting together, filling the large table, and the atmosphere was pretty good.

"Tiejun, human mud? Is there any wine at home?" Wang Tieshu looked at it, but he didn't see Wang Tiejun, so he shouted loudly.

"Yes, here it comes."

Lao Wang responded while moving a box of wine out of the underground storage room.

When he came here last year, he brought several boxes of wine, including Maotai, Fenjiu, Hengshui Laobaigan, etc., for a party. He didn't drink much himself. It wasn't that he didn't want to drink, but he couldn't drink more.

"Drink Laobaigan today."

What he moved was Hengshui Laobaigan, which is a famous wine in Hebang. It has a history of 1,800 years. It started in the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, and was named in the Ming Dynasty. It has a very long history.

"Sister-in-law, Feihong, do you want to drink this or open a bottle of red wine?" he asked while pouring wine for everyone.

"I'll drink this." Tian Xiaofen said with a smile.

Yu Feihong hesitated for a moment and said he would just drink this.

Lao Wang still brought a bottle of red wine over and put it aside for preparation. He knew that Yu Feihong's alcohol capacity was average and he couldn't drink much white wine.

"Come, let's have a drink, and wish us a better new year." Lao Wang raised his glass.

"cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank in one gulp.

Seeing that everyone was done, even Tian Xiaofen was bored. Yu Feihong was a little dazed while holding the twenty-two cups. She could drink a little, but it was a bit difficult to drink in this way and still have a high degree of alcohol.

"Brother Fei, you can't do this. You should call me Sister Fei from now on." Lao Wang teased and took the cup.

Yu Feihong rolled his eyes at Lao Wang, took the cup over again, and said, "Yes, I always asked you to call me Sister Feihong."

When Lao Wang was stunned, everyone at the table fell down laughing.

Afterwards, everyone stopped drinking so much and chatted while drinking.

After Zhang Lili chatted for a few times about the All-Stars, he talked about Yu Feihong and Lao Wang over wine. He was also familiar with the two of them and asked: "Do you two have any plans? Should Yu Feihong stay in the United States to develop in the future?"

Return to China for development?”

The two looked at each other with some expectation in their eyes.

Well, it is Lao Wang who has expectations. Yu Feihong has no expectations in her eyes. She cannot expect Lao Wang to give up the NBA and return to China with her.

In fact, after careful consideration during this period, she has decided to stay in the United States and find a way to raise funds to open a small import and export trading company in the future.

The decision to open a trading company was made after consulting her father. Her father suggested her. Now the country is in urgent need of many things from the United States. At this time, if you have a large amount of US dollars in hand, it is very profitable to do import and export trade.

She also has the advantage of opening a trading company here. She can use the connections here to find suitable high-quality sources for the country. The same is true in the country, which is more convenient than here.

If a domestic trading company comes here to purchase goods, they will easily be deceived and suffer losses because they are not familiar with the goods. They will spend a lot of money but not be able to buy good things.

On the other hand, American companies are just as easily deceived and suffer losses when they go to China, so they need import and export trading companies like hers.

Of course, Lao Wang had to help her with the connections here, and she didn't have any of them herself.

Moreover, she still had to find Lao Wang in exchange for a large amount of US dollars. Fortunately, she didn't want to open a company now. It wouldn't be too late to open a company after completing these three years of study.

Lao Wang scratched his head and was about to say something when Yu Feihong said: "I have thought about it. If I stay here, there is probably no room for development in my acting career."

"That's not right. Tie Jun is in CAA and knows some celebrities in Hollywood. Can't he find an opportunity?" Su Qun asked.

Yu Feihong shook his head and said: "I'm a Chinese guy, and I'm not a star. There is no market in Hollywood. There are no Chinese characters in Hollywood movies."

"Then you plan to return to China in three years?" Lao Wang asked.

Yu Feihong turned around and looked at Lao Wang, was silent for a moment and then said: "I hope to have my own career and be financially independent. Only when you are financially independent can you have an independent personality."

Lao Wang was startled for a moment. He hadn't read many books and he knew all these words, but when combined into one sentence, he didn't quite understand the meaning. He felt that there was some distance between him and Yu Feihong.

He just heard from these words that Yu Feihong seemed unwilling to maintain the closest relationship with him, that is, what's yours is mine, what's mine is yours, what's mine is still mine, and what's yours is mine.

That kind of relationship.

Yu Feihong saw Lao Wang's confusion and explained: "It's just that I don't want to completely become your vassal."

The atmosphere at the wine table was a bit heavy. Everyone stopped talking or eating, and just watched the two of them talking.

Lao Zhang was also a little embarrassed. He had drunk too much, so why did he find such a topic?

Lao Wang thought for a while and held back a sentence: "What you mean is that you don't want to spend my money and want to have your own work income, right?"

Yu Feihong thought for a while, nodded and said: "Absolutely."

"Okay, what's wrong with this? Can't you find a job in the United States? No, we can open our own company. I still have some connections here. If it doesn't work, I will speak for you. With my influence, in

Arizona can still make money even if it only sells toilets," Lao Wang said.

"Pfft!" Everyone laughed.

"Do you want me to stay in the United States?" Yu Feihong suppressed his smile and looked at Lao Wang and asked.

"Of course." He said.

Liu Changfeng said at this time: "I think it's okay. Tiejun can stay in the country for several months every year. You can run on both sides and stay for half a year on the other side."

Others also nodded.

Zhang Lili raised the topic and said at this time: "Less, you can actually help Tiejun manage Fengshen Street. It has been fully built. After this season, you can open it when you go back. Stay in the country for a few months, and

When I stay in the United States for a few months, Mr. Bai is usually there to keep an eye on me and doesn’t delay things."

"That's his career too. I want to have my own," Yu Feihong said.

Zhang Lili said: "It's okay. You guys from Nortel have been running there for the past two years if they have nothing to do. You can set up a film and television company on Fengshen Street by yourself. In this regard, you have connections from Nortel and Fengshen Street."

This current base is your profession, and this is your career."

Yu Feihong was stunned and thought, "It's really possible. What about opening a trading company or a film and television company?"

Last year, 1994, the film industry blossomed. Not only did Hollywood produce many classic films, but China also produced many good films. It is called the first year of film.

Jiang Wen's debut film "Sunny Days" won numerous awards, including Xia Yu's Best Actor Award at Venice, and Ge You's "Alive" won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival, and the film also won the Jury Prize.

.

Over at Hong Kong City, Chungking Express, Westward Journey, Ashes of Time, etc., the response has been very good.

This industry is on the rise and she really doesn't want to leave.

"I'll lend you money and you start a company?" Lao Wang said.

Yu Feihong made the decision at this time to open a film and television company and pursue her own profession. She liked this. If it weren't for Lao K, she wouldn't have thought of changing her career.

When she becomes the boss in the future and hires a good manager, her time will be freer and she can run both ways.

"I have some money of my own, but I don't have enough money to ask you to invest," she said.

With the preliminary decision made, the two did not discuss it in detail, but they both breathed a sigh of relief because the biggest obstacle to continuing was gone.

The next day, February 1st, Yu Feihong left Phoenix and came back during the All-Star weekend.

When she returns to school this time, she plans to take one more course, film management, to lay the foundation for opening a film and television company in the future.

Wang Tielong and the other five began to arrange the martial arts gym.

Hawksman customized some clothing specifically for the martial arts gym, and then began to send out invitations, and the opening was progressing smoothly.

As for Lao Wang himself, after finishing breakfast, he stared at the TV and tuned to the TNT channel, waiting for the league to announce last month's Player of the Month, MVP rankings, and this time's All-Star voting results.

The first player to be announced is January's Player of the Month, which is given to the Knicks' Patrick Ewing.

Then there is the scoring champion, he ranks first.

His scoring increased in January, from 29.8 points in December to 30.7 points, while Jordan dropped from 30.7 points to 29.7 points.

The last thing he cares about most is the MVP ranking. After the host said a few words, a row of names and their data appeared on the screen.
