Chapter 335 Magic's Choice for the Future Core

   Early in the morning on the 13th, just after six o'clock, I bought some food on the street, and the family drove two cars back to their hometown.

  The time is a little tight. The summer camp on the 15th opened. Wang Tiejun could only stay in his hometown for one night. He went today and will be back tomorrow.

   Parents and two sisters will stay in their hometown for a while, and he will go back to live for a few days later.

   After walking for a while on the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway, then down the provincial highway, we arrived at Cangzhou before nine o'clock.

Since his case has been overturned and the case has been deleted, there has been a very big change in the past few days. Cangzhou City is up and down, from the city to the county, and then to the towns and villages, all propaganda His deeds, he seems to have become the light of Cangzhou.

   Prior to this, there was propaganda about him, but not on such a large scale.

   So during this period of time, the name of his backing king was well known in Cangzhou.

   "Come here, it's this license plate."

   As soon as the two cars arrived at the border of Cangzhou, they found that there were a group of traffic police at the junction. All passing cars would be stopped, but they were quickly released. Only their cars were stopped by some traffic police as soon as they approached.

  Erya's car was in the back, Wang Tiejun's car was in front, he opened the window, and was about to ask why, when he saw a few traffic policemen only glanced at him, then turned around and shouted loudly, "It's the King of the Mountain, it's him!"

   "Walk around..."

   A group of people wearing short-sleeved shirts and ties on the side of the road, who seemed to be 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 to his side, and a middle-aged man in the lead stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. Wang Tiejun, I'm Lin Huan, welcome home. "

   Lao Wang shook hands with Lin Huan in confusion. After introduction, he knew that this was the No. 1 leader of the city government, and there was also the county magistrate of Qing County, who was waiting here to greet him.

   "How do you know that I'm going back to my hometown today?" he asked with some doubts.

   "We arranged staff on Fengshen Street." Lin Huan said with a smile.

   nodded, and Lao Wang said, "Thank you so much! It's not really necessary, I'm just a commoner..."

  Lin Huan shook his head and smiled and said, "No no, you are too modest! Not to mention, 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..."

   Lao Wang understands that everything is for money.

   But what Lin Huan said was right, his hundreds of brothers could remit at least 10 to 20 million US dollars in foreign exchange a year.

   But his investments are all in Fengshen Street, not in his hometown. Now the city and county leaders in his hometown have come to the door. No, he stopped him halfway through. This is the purpose?

   At noon, he ate and drank in the city, and the city washed the dust for him.

   He had one drink, the city leaders had two drinks, and the county leaders had three drinks. With this attitude, can he still say no? So the leaders took turns to go into battle and poured him a belly of wine.

   After drinking until almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the table ended. Da Ya and Er Ya drove a car each and left the city accompanied by several leaders of Qing County.

   I slept in the car for a while, and was woken up. I sat up and took a look. I was almost home, and I could see their five-story building from a distance.

   Now they are walking on the county road, the road conditions are not good, there are many big and small pits, all the way through, a few gray dragons are raised behind.

   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 brought back a total of 65 million US dollars this time, and the district leaders in Chaoyang District are all staring at it, not to mention 20 million, two million can make them anxious.

   Well, Chaoyang District only knows 60 million, and the remaining 5 million should be exchanged to the city first, and the rest will be discussed later.

   At this time Erya said again: "You also promised the county to build fifty hope primary schools for the county within five years."

  “…”

  Pharaoh's heart skipped a beat, fortunately, not five hundred seats.

He also planned to build Hope Primary School in the village. In ancient times, the squires also paid attention to repairing bridges and making up roads. In Huize Township, Kevin Johnson’s income was far less than his, and he also set up so many charity schools in his hometown. Not even those squires and lightning in ancient times, right?

"and also…"

   At this moment, Erya's voice rang again, making his head jump with fright, and 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 back, the county leaders are following you, we can't run away." Erya said.

   Old Wang glanced back, the two Santana were following closely, and he closed his eyes helplessly, where did he have so many dollars on hand?

   staggered and drove for another two minutes, approaching the May 7th Brigade. The car got off the county road and turned into a township road. It was comfortable.

After driving for a while, I saw that the front was blocked by people. Probably all the people in the group came out. The road and the road were full of people from the village. At a glance, I couldn't see the end. They were all people. The car could not go forward. The family hurried down to say hello.

   "Why so many people?"

   "Don't panic, Wang Tiejun should be welcome."

   "That doesn't work either. There are at least thousands of people here. What if something goes wrong? It's too dangerous!"

   "Why didn't the village committee report it? We should quickly transfer people to maintain order and evacuate the crowd."

   The county magistrate and other leaders behind them were startled when they saw this scene.

  As soon as they greeted him, the people here were not only from the village, but also a large number of people from the Cangzhou Wang family who came to thank Wang Tiejun, and many came to beg him.

  The Wang family in Cangzhou has thousands of people, more than 900 households in total, and now nearly 400 young people follow him to the United States.

These 400 people involve almost half of the people in this line. They can earn hundreds of thousands of RMB a year in the United States, which is too big for the meaning of this line. The remaining half also hope to receive Their sons and grandsons will be able to follow them to the United States, so now Wang Tiejun and their family's status in this line is unparalleled, and offerings are fine.

The    family went back to their hometown. Before they left, the news spread all over Cangzhou, so they all rushed over today.

   Among these clansmen, Wang Tiejun's family doesn't know much, because they are far apart, and they are more familiar, that is, Wang Tielong and the others who went there first, within five servers.

   also said hello to some people who were blocking in front, but he couldn't walk behind, and Wang Tiejun didn't want to go forward, for fear of causing a stampede.

He stood tall and shouted loudly with his throat pulled: "I thank everyone, old and young, but there are too many people today, and our family can't entertain them, so let's go here. If you have any business in the future, you can choose a few people to come over. It's alright, too many people will delay things, right?"

   Several county leaders couldn't wait any longer. They came up to work one after another. After a long talk, their throats were almost hoarse, and the crowd slowly dispersed. By the time they were almost dispersed, the sun had already gone down.

  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.

  It was getting dark too, so Sister Liu hurriedly prepared dinner, and the six aunts next to them also came to help. The neighbors also brought some dishes from various houses, and together with those from the capital, there were enough for two tables.

   "Little Jiu'er, yo, it really rose!"

   When he was about to enter the house, Wang Tiejun teased when he saw the little girl jumping up and down.

   Xiao Jiu'er laughed and shouted, "Brother Tiejun, you told me to jump high every day, so I jumped every day. This year, I have risen a lot."

   "Well, pay attention to technical movements, don't hurt your knees and lumbar spine." He reminded with a smile.

   "Mmmm." Little Jiu'er nodded obediently.

   "Take it and use it as New Year's money."

   Lao Wang took out a large amount of prepared banknotes and stuffed it into Xiao Jiu'er's hand, and asked, "Where is your brother, still working in the south?"

   "No, I came back during the Chinese New Year this year. I'm learning crafts in the county, and I want to go to the United States with you." Xiao Jiu'er looked at Lao Wang expectantly, not even taking the money in his hand.

   "Okay, I'll tell your sister and aunt when you're done, and take your brother there as soon as possible." Old Wang smiled.

"Oh!"

   Xiao Jiu'er cheered, and Sa Yazi ran to the backyard, shouting in a shrill voice, "Mom, mom, auntie, auntie..."

   "Damn girl, what are you calling me, there are guests at your sister's house..." Sixth Aunt's voice sounded immediately.

   Back in the main room, Wang Tiejun chatted with several county leaders.

   He took the initiative to talk about the dollar, and promised to exchange some money for the county this time, and then think of a solution in the second half of the year and next year. He still kept some cash in the United States.

   As for the Hope Primary School, there is no problem, but he needs to do it himself, with the cooperation of the county and the townships.

   As long as he insists, the leaders of the county can only agree. After all, the money is in his hands and he can only do as he says.

  Wang Tiejun later learned that there are a total of 178 primary schools in Qingxian County, including 121 primary schools in remote towns and towns with poor conditions. These primary schools need to be repaired or completely rebuilt, and additional teaching facilities need to be purchased.

  The commercial real estate on the capital side, including decoration, is a thousand dollars per square meter, which also includes the cost of land.

In the countryside of Qingxian County, there is no land cost, and labor costs are much lower. The cost of a low-rise building like a school itself is lower than that of commercial real estate. The cost of one square meter may be at most one or two hundred yuan. This is still about quality.

  Pharaoh counted with his fingers, a primary school that accommodates 500 students, based on a building area of ​​10 square meters for a student, plus teaching facilities, a maximum of 30,000 to 500,000 yuan should be able to solve it.

  121 primary schools, 50 to 60 million RMB, 70 to 8 million US dollars, it is completely affordable for him.

   came back today, so many people came to greet his family, to be honest, it touched him a lot, his hometown is too poor now.

   Besides, if you use a sum of money to set up Hope Primary School, he will have a face when he comes back, right? Which one in the hometown will not miss him in the future?

   "Several leaders, this is what I think about it. I plan to completely rebuild these 121 primary schools within three to five years. The standard of each primary school is 500,000 yuan. What do you think?"

   When he said this, several county leaders immediately showed shocked expressions on their faces.

   Among them, Deputy Magistrate Liu knew the most, because he was in charge of education in the county.

The primary schools in the remote townships in the county are divided into multiple levels, there are township-level, village-level, and township-level primary schools, 200,000 can be completely rebuilt, 100,000 can be rebuilt and expanded, and village-level, 50,000 Money can be used to rebuild, 20,000 yuan can be expanded and rebuilt, and 500,000 primary schools, he can't even think about it, it should be better than the primary schools in the city, right?

   "Isn't it enough?"

   Old Wang's brows were a little wrinkled. He should have calculated about the same, and with this money, in addition to repairing schools, he could also buy good teaching facilities.

   "Enough, enough, no, not enough, but too much!"

   "That's right, it's a lot, it's beyond the standard!"

   Several county leaders were excited and authentic.

   "Then it's settled. I'll form a team to plan this matter." Lao Wang smiled.

   "The county will also immediately organize a working group, which will be in charge of the county magistrate Liu, to cooperate with this matter. In addition, a formal letter must be written to let the following townships fully cooperate." The county magistrate Liu Changyun said immediately.

   After dinner, it was already past eight o'clock, and Magistrate Liu and the others were sent off. The family was also tired and went to rest in peace.

   At this time, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the Orlando Magic team, the management is having a meeting, the topic of the meeting is O'Neal and Anfernee Hardaway, which of them will 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 needs to prepare in advance, and it is best to renew it in advance.

Old K was born and won two championships in three years, creating a beast style. Especially these two championships were defeated by Jordan's Bulls. The first championship was a little better. At that time, the core was Barkley, and this Once, Lao K led the team to win the championship in four rounds as the core, which shocked and touched people so much that even the blind can see the power of the giant beast.

  Because of this, the status of another behemoth, O'Neal, has also soared, and has been valued by other teams in the league. Of course, the Magic will pay more attention to him.

   The management is even imagining that if the old K can average 50 points per game in the finals, then the more talented O'Neal is also possible.

   Some are optimistic that O'Neal will become the next old K's management, and now they hope that the team can establish O'Neal's future core position and complete an early contract extension.

   In fact, with O'Neal's performance in the past three seasons, isn't it a matter of course to become the core of the magic? But no, because there's also a penny Anfernee Hardaway.

  In 1993, they paid a huge price to trade the third overall pick Hardaway from the Warriors, and they had the idea of ​​making him the core of the team.

  This era is called the era of the trapeze. Jordan dominated the league for many years and overwhelmed the three super centers. Therefore, this era is the era of perimeter superstars.

   Hardaway, known as Jordan's successor, was no less than O'Neal who joined the team a year earlier when he first entered the Magic.

  If there is no old K's birth, the second championship, and even the Magic will not have this discussion, Hardaway is their only choice.

   And now, there is one more choice, they must consider whether the future is O'Neal or Hardaway.

  Choose the former, and the Magic will focus on the inside, and make every effort to build a traditional center team inside.

  Choose the latter, and the Magic will focus on the outside line and make every effort to build a team like the Bulls.

   Of course, the two can still coexist now, and the problem is not burning, because Hardaway signed a six-year rookie contract with four seasons left.

However, Hardaway's rookie contract is also very large, much larger than O'Neal's rookie contract. Not to mention the first three years, the next three years are 6.66 million, 7.58 million, and 8.51 million respectively. The salary next season will almost account for the Magic's One-third of the space, which makes magic difficult.

   In addition to other people's contracts, if they want to renew O'Neal in advance, they must use the bird rights to renew the over-cap.

Because after the old K signed the terrifying super contract, O'Neal's worth has soared, and the 100 million yuan contract has almost become the standard for his giant beast in the future. If the magic does not give, there will definitely be another team. Give.

  For example, New York, such as the Lakers, after losing the old K, the Magic can imagine that O'Neal has been targeted by them.

So they want to renew the contract with a lower contract in advance. They have already contacted O'Neal's agent, but the other party asked for seven years and 150 million US dollars, which is only 40 million lower than the old K's contract. This figure directly scared them. It is simply unacceptable, completely exceeding their bottom line too much.

  The Magic's psychological bottom line is five years and seventy million dollars. They are worried about O'Neal's weight and worry that his career is too short, so they are reluctant to sign a longer contract.

   And O'Neal is not the old K, the old K has two championships in hand, and the first player in the history of the finals who averaged 50 points per game in the finals.

   And if a seven-year $150 million contract is given, the boss will not say whether they are willing or not, and it will be difficult for them to renew Hardaway after three years.

   Even if they support this part of the management with O’Neal as the core, they don’t want the team to give up Hardaway. Optimistic about Hardaway is almost the view of the entire management, that is the next Jordan.

   Now it is difficult to renew the contract in advance, and there is a stalemate. Then there are some management teams in the team who do not agree with O'Neal as the core. They still insist on building a perimeter lineup and use the Bulls as a template.

   Their reasons are also very good. The team keeps O'Neal and takes Hardaway as the core. As long as Hardaway is more mature and other positions are strengthened, they will have the strength to reach the finals. There is absolutely no need to build a team with O'Neal.

And O'Neal is not old K. Old K's passing ability is very strong. When he is double-teamed, his ability to score and assist far exceeds O'Neal. Last season, he averaged 6.5 assists per game in the regular season, while O'Neal only had 2.7. In terms of end and rebounding, it is also better than O'Neal, so the Suns can use the 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, even His ability to score in double teams is not enough, he has to rely more on the perimeter, and his biggest role is to finish offense.

   But the biggest problem on their side is that they can't keep O'Neal, because since Hardaway is the core, he must be given salary space for a big contract, so there is no way to give O'Neal a contract that satisfies him.

   The father said that the public was right, and the mother said that the mother was right, so after arguing for a while, there was no result, and the meeting had to end.

   It's not too late anyway, they still have a lot of time and have a chance to sort this out before next season's trade window closes.

  Yes, they have a bottom line, no matter which one they choose, if the other one can't keep and go, then trade early to avoid losing money.

  This is of course only for O'Neal, Hardaway still has three years of contract.

   "Reynard, do they have a result?"

   In a private training facility in Orlando, O'Neal received a call from his agent, Leonard Amoto.

   "No, Shaq, they're still arguing."

  Amoto said this, and said dissatisfiedly: "They compared you with the old K and said that you are not as good as the old K."

   "Why am I not as good as old K?" O'Neal roared angrily.

  Amoto said: "They say you can't rebound the ball, you don't work hard in defense, you can't score the ball when you are double-teamed, and you don't have the ability to distribute the ball..."

  “…”

  O'Neal is so angry that his neck is thickened. This one doesn't work, that one doesn't work. Why don't you trade me?

   Besides, I have weaknesses, doesn’t old K have weaknesses?

   With his style of play, who can say for a few years? Perhaps the Suns' 6+1 contract will be scrapped before they can be finished.

   But thinking of the price Amoto offered, he felt a little embarrassed and asked, "Reynard, did we ask for a high price?"

"No, Shaq, you just need to know that you are another beast, the only existence that can fight against the old K. The future era is the era of the old K and you. You deserve that contract." Amoto affirmed , and said in an excited and excited tone.

   O'Neal sighed in his heart. In fact, his bottom line only needs to be over 100 million in seven years. Amoto directly raised tens of millions on his basis, and he was scared.

"Shaq, don't worry, the Lakers have contacted me several times, please don't rush to renew your contract with the Magic in advance, this time next year, they will definitely give you a billion-dollar contract, and rely on you as the core to rely on traditional centers lineup." Amoto said excitedly.

   "Lakers?"

  O'Neal got excited, it was one of the giants he most aspired to.

   And the traditional center lineup with him as the core is also quite attractive to him, because he also wants to be the boss, like the old K, not the second child for Hardaway.

   He was very envious that the Suns traded Barkley for the old K, but unfortunately the Magic is still vacillating between him and Hardaway, which made his intention to go even more.

   "Shaq, what you need to do now is to lose fat and increase muscle, and strive to keep your weight under 140kg. Don't eat junk food, it will hurt you." Amoto warned.

   "Don't worry, I will persevere." O'Neal said through gritted teeth.

Old K's performance in the finals was too exciting for him, and the big contract was too exciting for him, so he made up his mind that he would practice more this offseason, make a gorgeous transformation, and prove it to others. He is no worse than the old K.

   This is quite difficult for him who is lazy, and whenever he sees burgers and Coke, he can't control his mouth.

  Amoto, who had already hooked up with the Lakers, finally warned: "We settled on this price in the contract negotiation with the Magic. If they agree, we will stay. If we don't agree, we can't blame us."

  O'Neal was tempted by his agent, plus he wanted to go to the Lakers, and he had a grudge against the Magic, so he didn't say anything.
