NBA Backer King

Chapter 251: Big Dream: Help me!

   Chapter 251 Big Dream: Hurry up and save me!

   At 11:00, when Pharaoh drove to the headquarters, the news of the opening of the martial arts hall had already spread.

   "Old K, a reporter just said that you want to open a martial arts gym?" Dan Marley asked as soon as they met.

   "Yes, I've done the formalities," he asked.

   "Old K, how do you charge for your martial arts gym? I want to learn." AC Green was eager to try.

   He laughed and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I found a few brothers from China. After they arrive, they will be ready for a while before they can open for business."

  Danny Angie suggested: "Old K, you have to advertise in the newspaper. With your popularity here, business must be good."

   "I was going to do that." He laughed.

  I brought five brothers here, and it must be arranged well, but the cost of opening a martial arts gym is not small, so I also need to manage it well and try my best to be self-sufficient.

   He forgot yesterday and was going to ask Kevin Johnson when he came back and ask him some management questions, which he didn't understand.

This guy, Lightning, is very good. In 1989, he founded a public welfare academy in his hometown of Sacramento. Now there are four public welfare primary schools, which can provide education for thousands of children. He also has a real estate investment company. He is both president and CEO, and he is planning to pursue a career in politics after retirement. He is very intelligent. He hopes to get some experience and guidance from him.

  Actually, after returning to China this time, he also plans to learn from Kevin Johnson and open several Hope Primary Schools in his hometown to improve the primary school environment in his hometown.

After everyone arrived, everyone got on the bus and rushed to the airport.

  8, the Suns defeated the Nets on the road, returned to the West the next day, challenged the Timberwolves away on the 10th, and won two consecutive victories to complete this round of road trip.

  16 wins and 2 losses, the Suns' record is still the first in the league.

  Although he has won a winning streak, without the veteran All-Star point guard Kevin Johnson, it is actually quite difficult to play. The backup point guard Elliott Perry is just a role player and his strength is not very good.

   However, Danny Manning has suffered some injuries in the past few days. Although he did not have a truce, he entered the bench lineup and reduced playing time. Iron man AC Green returned to the main lineup.

   With injuries to Kevin Johnson and Danny Manning, the Suns' strength has been repeatedly compromised.

   On December 11th, Wang Tiejun returned to Phoenix with the team.

  He has already applied for employment permits for five cousins, and has also issued job invitation letters. After receiving them in China, they can apply for work visas.

   After returning home, he contacted Bai Changsheng at night, the general manager of his real estate company, and asked him to help with passports and visas for several cousins.

The following time, the Suns played five games at home, winning the Warriors and Kings, the Bullets, but lost to the SuperSonics of the Knicks, with a total of 19 wins and 4 losses, falling to the top of the league, but Still number one in the West.

  After playing the last home game on the 19th, the Suns will challenge the Mosaic on the road on the 22nd.

   Eliminated by Mosaic in the Western Finals last season, this will be the Suns facing this strong opponent again.

  Barkley has also been back for almost a week. He seems to be in good shape. Although it is not at the peak, it is similar to last season. This situation is good, much better than Kevin Johnson.

On the 20th day, Lao Wang called Liu Changfeng, and the two went to find a place to prepare the address of the martial arts hall.

  I have already made an appointment with a real estate agent in advance. There is no shortage of such people in the United States. They are familiar with these places. If they go to find them by themselves, it will take a lot of energy and time, but it will not be worth the loss.

  The real estate agent has prepared several suitable places. It seems that he has picked a location close to the city center.

In some cities in the United States, even some big cities, including places like Los Angeles, the city center is not the best place, but may be the most backward and chaotic neighborhood, because those places were established first, so the worst, slums probably concentrated in those areas.

  Some of the nicer suburbs of the city are actually the best places, those areas are the richest and the safest.

  The city center of Phoenix is ​​not so bad, but it is not very developed, and the land price and housing price are not very high in the urban area.

   He took a fancy to the basement of a fifteen-story building. It has an area of ​​more than 1,200 square meters, which is enough. The rent is nearly 100,000 US dollars a year, and water, electricity and management fees are paid separately.

After    turned inside for a while, he settled down and the two sides signed the contract.

   Next, we have to do decoration. This package was given to a decoration company. It cost 150,000 yuan. We are not going to do it too well.

   However, he estimated that as long as the mission of this martial arts hall is completed, there should be missions related to the second occupation in the future, so he did not dare to make it too bad.

   On the afternoon of the 21st, the Suns arrived in Houston.

   As soon as he settled in the hotel, Barkley called and said that he wanted to treat the guests to dinner, and also wanted to join the big dream.

   "What is he doing here?" asked the old king.

   "It's okay, join in the fun." Barkley laughed over there.

   "Are you afraid of me kid?" Olajuwon's voice sounded on the phone.

   "Da Meng, you overheard my phone call again?" Old Wang said in shock.

   "What is eavesdropping again? When have I eavesdropped on your call?" Da Meng said dissatisfied.

   "Elder Xiucheng, it seems that the two of you are in a good relationship. You stay together every day." He laughed.

   "Sheet, old K, do you have a brain? It's training time, we're still training, of course together." Da Meng scolded with a smile.

  Buckley also said dissatisfiedly: "Old K, what is Xiucheng Shuang Lao? Tell me clearly, what is double Lao? What is Lao?"

   "Yes, old K, I can beat you at eighty years old, how dare you say I'm old?" Da Meng also reacted and roared in dissatisfaction.

   "Haha..." The crowd on Lao Wang's side burst into laughter.

At half past five, Barkley and Da Meng drove two cars to the hotel. The people who followed were not only Pharaoh, Dan Marley, Danny Angie, but also Drexler and Danny Manning. be invited.

  There are many people. In order to save money, Buckley found a restaurant in Chinatown to eat Chinese food.

  In foreign countries, there are actually quite a few people who eat Chinese food, but the grades just can’t go up. There are almost no Chinese restaurants in high-end restaurants.

   When a group of high-level people appeared in Chinatown, it immediately caused a sensation, especially when they saw Lao Wang, many people gathered around.

   He has been to this Chinatown twice. Before, it was not very famous. When he came, the movement was not so big. Now it is famous, and the movement it caused is also big.

   Entered the restaurant and asked for a large private room, and the enthusiastic restaurant manager came to entertain in person.

"Your name?"

Pharaoh looked at the manager, he looked in his fifties, he was less than 1.7 meters tall, very thin, wearing a pair of thick black-rimmed glasses, like an intellectual, with a smile on his face, but the smile was very Profession.

   "Exempt your surname Lin."

   The manager spoke in fairly neat Mandarin, with some Minnan's Hakka accent.

   "Fukujian?" he asked.

   "Yes, Hakka people, I am from Fuzhou." Manager Lin smiled.

   Old Wang said with some surprise: "Basically all of your Fuzhou people are in New York, and the three Chinatowns in New York are all from your place. How did you come here?"

Manager    Lin explained: "I am in a different situation from them. I immigrated through the regular route."

  Pharaoh nodded. Indeed, most of the people from Fuzhou in New York were smuggled here. Many people did not have enough money to pay the smuggling fee, so they stayed in New York to work for the Fuqing Gang to pay off their debts.

   "Have you been a cook in China before?" he asked curiously.

"no."

  Manager Lin shook his head and said, "I am a professor of the Law Department of Fudan University and immigrated three years ago."

  Pharaoh for a while, are you crazy? A law professor came to the United States, do you think the United States needs you to build a legal system for this country?

   "Then you are rich enough to be a regular immigrant," he said.

   Manager Lin said with a smile: "It's okay, the housing price has risen a lot in time to catch up with SH. After selling two houses in Jing'an District, we can collect enough money for immigration."

   "Then you made a profit. I heard that the house over there has fallen a little this year." Old Wang smiled.

  He fooled this person. The housing prices in SH have been rising again and again in the past two years, especially since last year, the housing prices in the capital could not keep up with those over there.

Manager    Lin said: "Really? Fortunately, we immigrated."

   nodded, Lao Wang was too lazy to talk more, took a look at the menu, handed it back, shook his head and said, "Manager Lin, please change one."

"OK."

  Boss Lin quickly handed over another menu.

  Buckley and others feel weird, they never knew there was a second menu in a Chinese restaurant, could it be racism.

   "What do you mean, old K, can't we eat the dishes on this?" Buckley said dissatisfied.

  Pharaoh looked at these people, laughed, and explained, "You should know it yourself."

   "What do we know?" Da Meng said at a loss.

"I've eaten Chinese food many times. Every Christmas, other restaurants are closed. We all eat Chinese food, but we never knew there were two menus. Is this the case in every Chinese restaurant?" Dan Marley asked road.

  Manager Lin wanted to explain, but closed his mouth again. He knew that he was not qualified to speak in front of these NBA stars.

Lao Wang explained with a smile: "That's because this menu is specially prepared for the Chinese. The dishes on it are not to your taste, nor are they suitable for you to eat. If you eat them, you may have trouble. This is theirs. experience."

   "I'm going to see what we can't eat," Barkley exclaimed.

  Dan Marley laughed at this time: "I do know some reasons."

He took the menu in Lao Wang's hand, pointed to one of the braised fish dishes and said, "I remember when I was young, I went to eat Chinese food with my family once, that restaurant should not have prepared a second menu, and someone at the table next to me ordered it. I got a fish like this and got stuck in the throat with a fishbone, and I heard they sued the restaurant."

Lao Wang smiled and said: "There are many things like this. Some people complain to the restaurant because there are bones in the meat. All kinds of reasons seem normal to you, but they seem ridiculous to us, so more and more Chinese restaurants are preparing second In the end, you can only eat what suits you, the improved Chinese food, and you can’t eat the original Chinese food.” Lao Wang smiled.

   "So it is." Buckley and others understood.

  Pharaoh then ordered some dishes, and also ordered a braised carp that he liked very much. But he wouldn't give this fish to others, for fear of getting stuck with these ghosts.

   "But I want to try, my throat is wide enough that these little thorns can't get stuck on me."

   Half an hour later, the fragrant braised fish was brought up, and Da Meng was almost drooling. He didn't believe in evil, and clumsily held out his chopsticks.

   "Idiot, you'd better not eat it." Lao Wang warned.

   "I can shake you, but I'm afraid of a fish. I tell you, my teeth can grind the bones of sharks." Da Meng said disdainfully.

   Old Wang twisted his head, too lazy to deal with stupid goods.

   At this point, Manager Lin has already left. If he is here, I am afraid that he is not in a hurry to grab Da Meng's chopsticks. If the fishbone gets stuck on Da Meng, the most famous sports superstar in Houston, the restaurant will not be closed? His job is no longer safe.

   "Well, it tastes good."

  Da Meng gave it a try and thought it was okay, so he ate it.

   "Hakim, congratulations, now that Charles is back, you can hit the championship again." Drexler said at this time.

  Dameng had fish in his mouth and said vaguely: "Clyde, it's really a pity, you should come to us. If you come to Houston, we can blow up the bulls and the sun."

   "Is your boss willing to pay the luxury tax? The salary plus tax will cost several million." Old Wang said angrily.

   "Damn Alexander, sooner or later I'm going to fire him." When Da Meng heard this, he was immediately furious and very angry.

   "Exactly, I need a substitute, you can fulfill your promise and hug my thigh." Lao Tzu replied.

   "Shut up! That will never be possible." Da Meng glared at him, he was about to say something, and suddenly felt a discomfort in his throat.

   "Damn..."

   touched his throat, there was a clear tingling sensation in it, and his face immediately turned bad.

   "Don't your teeth grind the bones of sharks very well?" Looking at Da Meng's appearance, you can guess what happened, and Lao Wang said angrily.

   "Damn, help me, is there any way to get it out?" Da Meng said with a sad face.

   "Are you stuck by a fishbone? Then go to the hospital." Buckley stood up anxiously.

   "It's over, it's time for surgery." Dan Marley said.

   "Are you going to slit your throat? I wouldn't dare eat this fish," Dan Marley said.

   "You want to cut your throat?"

  Dameng's face was ashen, sweating profusely, and he swore that he would never eat thorny fish in the next life.

  Everyone was chattering, all stood up and prepared to go to the hospital with Da Meng.

   "What's the hurry? Come on, let me treat you." Old Wang stopped the big dream about to leave.

   "You're not a doctor, stop joking." Da Meng became anxious.

   "Do you really want to cut your throat?"

Lao Wang is not joking. Americans don't eat meat with bones, let alone fish with spines. American doctors may not be familiar with the case of fishbone stuck throat at all. They have never encountered such a case and have no experience. How can it be cured?

The last time Kevin Johnson's shoulder was dislocated and repositioned, Dr. Carter is the top level in the United States in his specialty. He still can only choose to perform surgery. The big dream is to go to the hospital. If any forceps can't come out, maybe he will Cut throat.

   "Let Old K try it out. Lightning's shoulder was done by him, and it was done in a second." Dan Marley said at this time.

   "Lei Gong, are you kidding me?" Da Meng said after wiping a sweat.

   "I proved that we were all there at the time, it was amazing." Barkley said quickly.

At this time, Lao Wang took the water glass on the table, put it in front of Da Meng, and said to him: "Drink it, but don't swallow it, let the water swirl in your throat, like gargling your mouth, and then spray it out. "

   "Can this be done?" Da Meng asked suspiciously.

"Try it and you won't suffer, what nonsense? If it doesn't work, just drink a bowl of vinegar. If it doesn't work, just burn a piece of the fish bone into ashes and drink it. If it doesn't work, then I can only find someone to ask for the water method for you. I just don't know if it can work across the Pacific Ocean." Lao Wang said.

  Da Meng did the same, took a sip of water, rinsed his throat, and sprayed it out immediately.

   "It didn't come out, try again, the speed of spraying out is faster." Pharaoh looked at the ground, there were no fishbone.

   "Grumbling, puff!"

  Da Meng swallowed another sip of water into his throat, and then spit it out violently.

   "Wow, it's coming out."

  Dan Marley pointed to a small fishbone on the ground and shouted, "Old K, your method is really useful."

  Da Meng touched his throat and swallowed, feeling that there was no tingling, and it really came out, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

   "Do you still eat fish?"

  Pharaoh sat down while joking, grabbed his chopsticks and stretched out the braised fish. This stuff won't work if it's cold, and it has to be eaten while it's hot.

   "NO, I swear I will never eat it again." Da Meng shook his head again and again.

  Buckley asked curiously: "Old K, you just said that you can't spray it, you want to eat fish bone ashes, and that water magic, what does it mean?"

   Lao Wang coughed twice and said with a mysterious face: "This knowledge is accumulated by our country for thousands of years, and I can't tell you easily."

"mean!"

  Buckley raised his **** directly at Pharaoh, and others followed suit.

Lao Wang said helplessly: "Well, for the sake of our brothers, when my martial arts hall opens, you join my martial arts hall and become our apprentices, and I will pass on this knowledge to you. Now, are you satisfied?"

   "How much is the tuition fee?" Buckley asked cautiously.

   He knows that Pharaoh is a stingy guy, and he can't be the most stingy.

   Lao Wang pondered for a while, and said, "The students in our martial arts hall are divided into VIP students and ordinary students. The ordinary students have no service and only learn boxing.

   Only VIP students can enjoy more high-quality services, but they need a membership fee of $30,000 a year. If you recharge for three years at one time, the discount is only $100,000. "

   How did he know about this, but he also went to some private clubs in Phoenix and learned about the so-called VIP system, so he also wanted to do one.

   "It's okay, old K, you can get me a VIP card first, I'll charge it for three years first, remember to get a discount."

  Buckley knew that Pharaoh did have some very mysterious methods, and that only $100,000 in three years was not expensive, so he nodded.

   "I'll also charge for three years." Da Meng had tasted the benefits just now, and immediately complied.

  Dan Marley and Danny Anji looked at each other and felt that their brother's martial arts gym really needed to support them, and they also indicated that they would recharge for three years.

  Drexler and Danny Manning didn't say a word. They had just joined the team, and they had an average friendship with Pharaoh, so they didn't plan to make do with it.

  Pharaoh smiled and calculated in his heart. This would be 400,000 US dollars. It seems that this martial arts hall is very interesting.

   Looking back at Lightning and AC Green, they should also be able to pull in, another hundreds of thousands of dollars, hehe! It's a pity that they shouldn't be discounted, otherwise they can earn more.
