Early in the morning on the 13th, at around six o'clock, I bought some food on the street, and the family drove two cars back to their hometown.
Time is a little tight. The summer camp opens on the 15th. Wang Tiejun can only stay in his hometown for one night. He will go today and come back tomorrow.
His parents and two sisters will stay in his hometown for a while, and he will go back to stay for a few days later.
I walked on the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway for a while, then came down and took the provincial highway, and arrived in Cangzhou before nine o'clock.
After his case was overturned and the record was deleted, there has been a very big change in the past few days. Everyone in Cangzhou City, from the city to the county, to the towns and villages, has been promoting it.
With his deeds, he has become the light of Cangzhou.
Before that, there was publicity about him, but not on such a large scale.
Therefore, during this period of time, the name of his patron king was well known in Cangzhou.
"Come on, come on, this is the license plate."
As soon as the two cars arrived at the boundary of Cangzhou, they found a group of traffic police at the intersection. All cars passing by would be stopped, but they would soon be let through. Only their car was stopped by some traffic police as soon as it approached.
Erya's car was behind and Wang Tiejun's car was in front. He opened the window and was about to ask why, when he saw several traffic policemen only glanced at him, then turned around and shouted loudly: "It's the patron king, it's him!"
"Let's go..."
A group of people wearing short-sleeved shirts and ties on the side of the road, who looked like leaders, came over immediately.
Lao Wang parked the car on the side of the road and got out of the car. The leaders had already walked beside him. A middle-aged man in the leader stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and said: "Mr. Wang Tiejun, I am Lin Huan, welcome home.
"
Lao Wang was confused and shook Lin Huan's hand. After introduction, he learned that this was the number one leader of the city government, followed by the county magistrate of Qing County, who was waiting here to welcome him.
"How do you know I'm going back to my hometown today?" he asked with some confusion.
"We have arranged staff at Fengshen Street." Lin Huan said with a smile.
Nodding, Lao Wang said: "Thank you so much! It's actually not necessary, I'm just a common man..."
Lin Huan shook his head and smiled: "No, no, you are too modest! Among other things, hundreds of people in the city went to work in the United States this year. This contribution is not small. In the future, it will generate a lot of foreign exchange for the city every year..."
Lao Wang understood that everything was for money.
But what Lin Huan said is right. With hundreds of brothers, he can remit at least 10 to 20 million US dollars in foreign exchange in a year.
However, all his investments were in Fengshen Street, not in his hometown. Now the city and county leaders from his hometown have come to visit him. No, they stopped him halfway. What is the purpose?
At noon, he had a meal and drank in the city, and the city gave him a break.
He drank one drink, the city leaders drank two drinks, and the county leaders drank three drinks. With this attitude, how could he say he would not drink? So the leaders took turns and drank a lot of wine from him.
After drinking until almost four o'clock in the afternoon, the party ended. Da Ya and two Ya each drove a car and left the city accompanied by several leaders of Qing County.
After sleeping in the car for a while, I was woken up. I sat up and saw that I was almost home. I could see their five-story building in the distance.
Now they were taking the county highway. The road condition was not good and there were many big and small potholes. Along the way, several gray dragons appeared behind them.
He asked Erya who was driving: "Second sister, did I say something wrong?"
Erya smiled and said: "No, you only promised the mayor that you would exchange 20 million US dollars in foreign exchange for the city."
"..."
Lao Wang opened his mouth, "Two, twenty million?"
He only brought back a total of 65 million US dollars this time, and the district leaders in Chaoyang District were all watching. Not to mention 20 million, even 2 million would make them anxious.
Well, Chaoyang District only knows 60 million, so let’s exchange the remaining 5 million to the city first, and we’ll talk about the rest later.
At this time, Erya said again: "You also promised the county to build fifty Hope Primary Schools in the county within five years."
"..."
Lao Wang's heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, it wasn't five hundred seats.
It was his early plan to build a Hope Primary School in the countryside. In ancient times, squires also paid attention to building bridges and roads. In Huize Township, Kevin Johnson's income was far less than him, and he also ran so many charity schools in his hometown. He couldn't
Not even as good as those squires and lightning in ancient times, right?
"besides……"
At this moment, Erya's voice sounded again, which frightened him so much that he wanted to cover his second sister's mouth.
"You also promised to exchange 10 million US dollars in foreign exchange for the county. Look behind you and see that the county leaders are following you. We can't run away," Erya said.
Lao Wang glanced back and saw two Santanas following closely. He closed his eyes helplessly. Where did he have so many dollars on hand?
After driving unsteadily for another two minutes, we got close to the May 7th Brigade. The car got off the county road and turned onto a rural road. It was comfortable now. The cement road built with Wang Tiejun's money led directly to the door of his house.
After driving for a while, I saw that there was a blockage in front of me. Probably all the people from the brigade had come out. There were villagers on the road and on the side of the road. It was endless as far as the eye could see. They were all full of people. The car could not move forward. Lao Wang
The family hurriedly went down to greet them.
"Why are there so many people?"
"Don't panic, Wang Tiejun should be welcomed."
"That's not possible. There are at least several thousand people here. What should we do if something goes wrong? It's too dangerous!"
"Why didn't the village committee report it? We need to quickly dispatch people to maintain order and evacuate the people."
When the county magistrate and several other leaders behind saw this scene, they couldn't help but be shocked.
After greeting Wang Tiejun, the people here were not only people from the village, but also a large number of people from the Wang family in Cangzhou. They came here specifically to thank Wang Tiejun, and many of them came to beg him.
There are only a few thousand members of the Wang family in Cangzhou, with a total of more than 900 households. Now nearly 400 young people have followed him to the United States.
These more than 400 people are involved in almost half of the families in this family. They can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a year in the United States, which is too big for the significance of this family. The remaining half of the families also hope to take over.
Afterwards, their sons and grandsons can follow them to the United States, so now the status of Wang Tiejun and his family in this lineage is unparalleled, and they can support him.
The family returned to their hometown. Before they even set off, the news spread throughout Cangzhou, so everyone rushed here today.
Among these tribesmen, Wang Tiejun and his family don't actually know many, because they are all far apart. The ones who are more familiar with them are Wang Tielong and the others who were the first to go, and they are within the fifth server.
I just said hello to some people blocking the front, but I couldn't walk behind. Wang Tiejun didn't want to go forward for fear of causing a stampede.
He stood tall and shouted at the top of his voice: "Young and old gentlemen, I thank you all, but there are too many people today, and our family can't entertain them. Let's just stay here. If you have anything to do in the future, please pick a few people to come over."
That’s fine. If there are too many people, it will delay things, right?”
Several county leaders couldn't wait any longer and came up one after another to do their work. They talked a lot until their throats almost became hoarse. The crowd slowly dispersed. By the time they were almost gone, the sun had already set.
Wang Tiejun's family returned home surrounded by people from the village, and several county leaders also followed. Wang Tiejun politely said that he would stay for dinner, but they were not polite and agreed directly.
It was getting dark, so Sister Liu hurriedly prepared dinner. Aunt Six and the others nearby also came over to help. The neighbors also brought some dishes from various houses, and together with those brought from the capital, it was enough to fill two tables.
"Xiao Jiu'er, oh, it's really high!"
When he was about to enter the house, he saw the little girl jumping up and down, Wang Tiejun teased.
Xiao Jiuer shouted with a smile: "Brother Tiejun, if you tell me to jump high every day, I will jump every day. I have jumped a lot higher this year."
"Well, pay attention to your technical movements and don't injure your knees and lumbar spine." He warned with a smile.
"Yeah." Xiao Jiuer nodded obediently.
"Take it and use it as lucky money."
Lao Wang took out a large handful of prepared banknotes and stuffed them into Xiao Jiuer's hand, and then asked: "Where is your brother, is he still working in the south?"
"No, I came back during the Chinese New Year this year. I am learning a craft in the county. I want to go to the United States with you." Xiao Jiuer looked at Lao Wang expectantly, not even taking the money in his hand.
"Okay, once you learn it, tell your sister and she will take your brother there." Lao Wang said with a smile.
"oh!"
Xiao Jiuer cheered, and Sayazi ran to the backyard, shouting in a high voice: "Mom, mom, auntie, auntie..."
"Damn girl, what are you calling me for? There are guests at your sister's house..." Aunt Six's voice immediately sounded.
Back in the main room, Wang Tiejun chatted with several county leaders.
He took the initiative to talk about the U.S. dollars and promised to exchange some for the county this time and find a solution for the rest in the second half of the year and next year. He still left some cash in the United States more or less.
As for the matter of Hope Primary School, there is no problem, but it needs to be handled by itself, with the cooperation of the county and various towns.
As long as he persists, the county leaders can only agree. After all, the money is in his hands and they can only do as he says.
Wang Tiejun then learned that there are a total of 178 primary schools in Qingxian County, including 121 remote primary schools in poor conditions. These primary schools need to be repaired or completely rebuilt, and teaching facilities need to be added.
Commercial real estate in the capital, including decoration, costs a thousand yuan per square meter, and this also includes the cost of land.
In the countryside of Qingxian County, the land cost is zero and the labor cost is much lower. The cost of a low-rise building like a school is inherently lower than that of commercial real estate. When the cost per square meter is spread out, it may cost at most one or two hundred yuan.
This is still a matter of quality.
Lao Wang calculated on his fingers that a primary school with 500 students, based on a building area of 10 square meters per student, plus teaching facilities, should be able to cover a maximum of 300,000 to 500,000 yuan.
121 primary schools, 50 to 60 million yuan, 7 to 8 million US dollars, which is completely affordable for him.
When he came back today, so many people came to greet his family. To be honest, he was very touched. His hometown is too poor now.
Besides, if he uses a sum of money to set up a Hope Primary School, he will have face when he comes back, right? Who in his hometown will not miss him in the future?
"Several leaders, I am thinking this way. I am planning to completely rebuild these 121 primary schools within three to five years. Each primary school will cost 500,000 yuan. What do you think?"
When he said this, several county leaders immediately showed shocked expressions on their faces.
Among them, Deputy County Magistrate Liu knows best, because he is in charge of education in the county.
Primary schools in remote towns in the county are divided into multiple levels, including township level and village level. Township-level primary schools can be completely rebuilt with 200,000 yuan, renovated and expanded with 100,000 yuan, and village-level ones can be rebuilt with 50,000 yuan.
Money can be used to rebuild, 20,000 yuan can be used to expand and renovate, and 500,000 yuan can be used to build a primary school. He dare not even think about it. It should be better than the primary school in the city, right?
"Isn't it enough?"
Lao Wang frowned a little. He calculated that it should be about the same, and with this money, in addition to repairing the school, he could also purchase good teaching facilities.
"Enough, enough, no, not enough, but too much!"
"That's right, that's too much, it's beyond the standard!"
Several county leaders expressed excitement.
"Then it's settled, I will immediately form a team to plan this matter." Lao Wang said with a smile.
"The county will also immediately organize a working group, with County Magistrate Liu in charge, to cooperate with this matter. In addition, a formal document will be issued to allow the towns and villages below to fully cooperate." County Magistrate Liu Changyun said immediately.
After dinner, it was already past eight o'clock, and County Magistrate Liu and others were sent away. The whole family was tired and went to have a rest.
At this time, far across the Pacific, the management of the Orlando Magic was having a meeting. The topic of the meeting was which one of O'Neal and Anfernee Hardaway would become the future of the Magic.
O'Neal only has one year left on his rookie contract, and next season is his contract year. If he is the future, then the Magic need to prepare in advance, and it is best to renew the contract in advance.
Old K turned out and won two championships in three years, creating a behemoth style. Especially these two championships were defeated by Jordan's Bulls. The first championship was a little better. The core at that time was Barkley, and this time
Once, as the core, Old K led the team to sweep the championship in four rounds. It shocked and touched people so much that even a blind person could see how powerful the beast flow was.
It is precisely because of this that the status of another giant, O'Neal, has also skyrocketed and has attracted the attention of other teams in the league. Of course, the Magic will also pay more attention to him.
The management is even imagining that if Old K can average 50 points per game in the Finals, then O'Neal with better talent is also possible.
A part of the management is optimistic that O'Neal will become the next old K. Now they hope that the team can establish O'Neal's core position in the future and complete the early renewal of the contract.
In fact, based on O'Neal's performance in the past three seasons, isn't it natural to become the core of the Magic? But no, because there is also a penny Anfernee Hardaway.
In 1993, they paid a huge price to trade No. 3 pick Hardaway from the Warriors with the idea of making him the core of the team.
This era is called the Flyers Era. Jordan has dominated the league for many years and has overwhelmed the three super centers. Therefore, this era is the era of outside superstars.
Hardaway, known as Jordan's successor, when he first joined the Magic, his status was no less than that of O'Neal, who joined the team a year earlier.
If it hadn't been for Old K's sudden emergence and second championship, even the Magic wouldn't have had this discussion. Hardaway would have been their only choice.
But now, there is one more choice. They must consider whether the future is O'Neal or Hardaway.
If you choose the former, the Magic will focus on the inside and try their best to build a traditional inside center team.
If you choose the latter, the Magic will focus on the outside and try their best to build a team like the Bulls.
Of course, the two can still coexist now, and the problem has not yet become a problem, because Hardaway signed a six-year rookie contract and has four seasons left.
However, Hardaway's rookie contract is also very large, much larger than O'Neal's. Not to mention the first three years, the following three years are respectively 6.66 million, 7.58 million, and 8.51 million. Next season's salary will almost account for the Magic's salary.
One-third of the space makes it difficult for Magic.
Excluding other people's contracts, if they want to renew O'Neal in advance, they must use the bird rights to extend the contract beyond the cap.
Because after Old K signed that terrifying super contract, O'Neal's value has soared. A 100-million-yuan contract has almost become the standard for his behemoth in the future. If the Magic doesn't give it, there will definitely be another team that will.
Give.
For example, New York, such as the Lakers, after they can't get Old K, it is conceivable that the Magic have already been eyeing O'Neal.
So they wanted to renew the contract in advance with a lower contract. They had already approached O'Neal's agent, but the other party wanted a price of US$150 million over seven years, which was only 40 million lower than the old K's contract. This figure directly scared them.
It's totally unacceptable, it's completely beyond their bottom line.
The Magic's psychological bottom line is $70 million over five years. They are worried about O'Neal's weight and that his career will be too short, so they are unwilling to sign a longer contract.
Moreover, O'Neal is not the old K. The old K has two championships in hand, the first person in the history of the finals to average 50 points per game in the finals, a double team, fmvp, the Sharks are completely unqualified to get that kind of contract now.
And if a seven-year, US$150 million contract is given, regardless of whether the boss is willing to do so, it will definitely be difficult for them to renew Hardaway's contract after three years.
Even the part of the management that supports O'Neal as the core does not want the team to give up Hardaway. It is almost the entire management's view that Hardaway is the next Jordan.
Now it is difficult to renew the contract in advance and there is a deadlock, and some of the team's management do not agree with O'Neal as the core. They still insist on building an outside lineup and use the Bulls as a template.
Their reasons are also very good. The team keeps O'Neal and has Hardaway as the core. As long as Hardaway matures a little more and strengthens other positions, it will have the strength to compete in the finals. There is absolutely no need to build a team with O'Neal.
And O'Neal is not the old K. The old K's passing ability is very strong. When being double-teamed, his ability to distribute the ball and assist is far superior to O'Neal. Last season, he averaged 6.5 assists per game in the regular season, while O'Neal only had 2.7. At the same time, he was defensively
In terms of shooting and rebounding, he must be better than O'Neal, so the Suns can use Old K as the core, but the Magic cannot use O'Neal as the core, he does not have that ability.
The most important thing is that Old K is a monster with the ability to distribute the ball. The Suns only need to match him with someone who can pass the ball, while O'Neal is just a finishing monster. He has no ability to distribute the ball, and even
His ability to distribute the ball in double teams is not enough. He must rely more on the outside. His biggest role is to end the offense.
But the biggest problem on their side is that they cannot retain O'Neal, because since Hardaway is to be the core, they must leave him salary space for a large contract, so there is no way to offer O'Neal a contract that satisfies him.
The public said that the public was right, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was right, so after a long argument, there was no result, and the meeting had to end.
Anyway, things are not over at all. They still have a lot of time and have the opportunity to solve this problem before the trade window closes next season.
Yes, they have a bottom line. No matter which one they choose, if the other one cannot be kept and wants to leave, then trade it as early as possible to avoid losing money.
Of course, this is only for O'Neal, Hardaway still has three years of contract.
"Leonard, have they got results?"
At a private training facility in Orlando, O'Neal received a call from his agent Leonard Amoto.
"No, Shaq, they're still arguing."
When Amoto said this, he said dissatisfiedly: "They compare you with Old K and say you are not as good as Old K."
"How am I inferior to Old K?" O'Neal roared angrily.
Amoto said: "They said you are not good at rebounding, you don't work hard on defense, you don't have the ability to distribute the ball when you are double-teamed, and you don't have the ability to distribute the ball..."
"..."
O'Neal was so angry that his neck was thick. This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so why not trade me?
Besides, I have weaknesses, does Lao K have weaknesses differently?
Who can say for sure how many years his style of play can last? Maybe the Suns' 61-year contract won't even be played out before it's gone.
However, when he thought about the price offered by Amoto, he felt a little embarrassed and asked: "Reynard, are we asking too high a price?"
"No, Shaq, you just need to know that you are another giant beast, the only one who can fight against Old K. The future era will be the era of Old K and you. You deserve such a contract." Amoto affirmed.
, and said in an excited and excited tone.
O'Neal sighed in his heart. In fact, his bottom line only needed to reach hundreds of millions in seven years. Amoto directly raised tens of millions on his basis. He himself was frightened.
"Shaq, don't worry. The Lakers have contacted me several times, telling you not to rush to renew your contract with the Magic in advance. This time next year, they will definitely give you a big contract worth 100 million yuan, and they will rely on you as the core to rely on traditional centers.
lineup." Amoto said excitedly.
"Lakers?"
O'Neal became excited, that was one of the wealthy teams he most yearned for.
Moreover, it is a traditional center lineup with him as the core, which is also very attractive to him, because he also wants to be the boss, like Old K, instead of being the second child to Hardaway.
He envied the Suns when they traded Barkley for Old K. Unfortunately, the Magic are still wavering between him and Hardaway, which makes him even more interested in leaving.
"Shaq, what you have to do now is to lose fat and gain muscle, and try to control your weight under 140 kilograms. Don't eat junk food, it will harm you." Amoto warned.
"Don't worry, I will persevere." O'Neal said through gritted teeth.
Old K's performance in the finals stimulated him too much, and the big contract also stimulated him too much, so he made up his mind to practice more this offseason, make a gorgeous transformation, and prove it to others.
He is no worse than Lao K.
This is quite difficult for him who has a lazy personality. Whenever he sees burgers and Coke, he can't control his mouth.
Amoto, who has already hooked up with the Lakers, gave the last warning: "We have agreed on this price during the contract negotiations with the Magic. If they agree, we will stay. If they don't agree, we can't be blamed."
Under the temptation of his agent, and because he originally wanted to go to the Lakers and had resentment against the Magic, O'Neal said nothing more.
