Chapter 343 New Rules

   "Five seconds behind your back?"

   "It means that the back play cannot exceed five seconds. The reason for the league is that the back play time is too long and the face-to-the-basket attack is too small, which will make the game less exciting."

  Pharaoh thought about it, this rule doesn't seem to restrict him much, and his back fight time will definitely not reach five seconds. If it takes that long, five opponents will rush to his side to double-team.

   "Any more?" he asked again.

"The second rule that will be introduced is illegal use of hands. Specifically, this rule suppresses the defense on the outside more, it will release the offensive energy on the outside, and strengthen the breakthrough on the outside. In addition, for inside defense, we can no longer blatantly use it. When the opponent is leaning over to attack, you can't press the opponent's back with your hands, etc."

Little Colangelo explained, and said with some seriousness: "This rule is of great help to Jordan, his breakthrough will be sharper, the rhythm and speed of breakthrough will be faster, and the damage to the inside line will be greater, The offense will be more efficient."

  Old Wang thought for a while, when the defender could not touch the attacker with his hands, it would indeed make the attacker's breakthrough easier, he nodded and said, "Is there a reasonable collision zone?"

"There should also be, this time there will be several rules. Old K, this is because of you. It's not the main reason why we swept the Bulls in four rounds. The main reason is that you averaged 50 points per game in the finals. There is no team that is not afraid, and the league is also worried about losing the balance of the game." Colangelo Jr. laughed.

  Pharaoh is a little puzzled, what about defending for three seconds, illegal hands, a reasonable collision zone, and back-hitting for five seconds, these rules don’t seem to restrict him on purpose.

After listening to his question, little Colangelo laughed, and then explained: "Which rules are to be introduced, even my father doesn't know now. During his communication with Mr. Stern, he touched Mr. Stern. The point is that Mr. President has changed his original mind and does not want to immediately introduce rules to restrict you."

"why?"

  Pharaoh doesn't understand. Does this mean that he is inferior to Jordan?

   Well, he was a little bit of abusive, but it was indeed a considerable honor for the league to introduce the Jordan Law for Jordan. It gave Jordan a different status in disguise, and he also hoped to get that status.

   Mother, he had already agreed, but now he has changed his mind. He doesn't give credit at all. His impression of the old man Stern is a bit bad.

Little Colangelo looked at Pharaoh with a smile, but could understand a little of his thoughts, and said: "Stern's idea should be to see that the current lineup of our Suns is not very good, Lightning is old, Wilkin Si is older, he has no strength to win the championship, Lei Gong is gone, and the perimeter defense is not enough, so I don't want to introduce that kind of rules immediately.

   After all, your influence is not small now. If you easily tie your hands and feet, it will also make the alliance lose some of its excitement.

   Also, the introduction of the illegal hand-hand rule increases Jordan's destructive power. This is also suppressing you in disguise, isn't it? "

   "Indeed."

   Old Wang smiled and said, "Let him go, sooner or later I will force him to issue rules."

   After chatting for another half hour, Wang Tiejun left the headquarters and went to the K martial arts hall.

   In the afternoon, Wang Tielong and Liu Changjiang returned to Phoenix. He called Wang Tieshu, Wang Tieshan and Liu Changfeng, and the six of them discussed things together.

  In the first batch of five people, only Liu Changfeng's second brother Liu Changlong had no management skills. Now he only does ordinary massage work. The other four people have shown certain abilities in managing the martial arts hall.

   Including Wang Tieshan, although he did not officially manage the martial arts hall, he also cooperated with Wang Tieshu to do a lot of management work during this time.

As for Liu Changfeng, who followed him at the beginning, this time he plans to let his cousin resign from the Suns and bring a group of brothers from the martial arts school to Los Angeles for development. Yu Feihong is preparing to set up a martial arts company with Cheng Long. Liu Changfeng has worked in martial arts. English has also passed the test now, which is just right.

   "Brother Changfeng, you choose a group of people, let's go to ten first."

   He first talked about Liu Changfeng, Liu Changfeng did not hesitate and immediately agreed to go to Los Angeles.

   "Brother Tielong, I'm going to reorganize the martial arts hall and divide it into four halls." He said to Wang Tielong and the others.

   "Sitang? Say it, you can do what you want." Wang Tielong nodded in agreement.

   "Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall, Martial Arts Hall, Yangsheng Hall, Fighting Hall, one management and four halls, each with its own responsibilities."

  Wang Tiejun thought for a while, and then said: "Phoenix is ​​the main hall, and there is another branch below to manage the business here. Brother Tielong, you come back to host the main hall."

   "Yes." Wang Tielong said.

   "Brother Tieshan will be in charge of the branch in Phoenix. Brother Tieshu, go to New York." He continued.

   Wang Tieshu and Wang Tieshan both nodded their heads without saying a word.

   Wang Tiejun was also very happy when he saw that they were very happy.

  These three cousins ​​are all people he respects very much. He was born in the military, and he is very relieved to carry out orders.

   "L.A., Yangtze River, don't forget the lesson you learned from Bangzi Hang last time. If you commit the crime again, you will go back to your hometown. I don't want you to go to jail in the United States." He said to Liu Changjiang with a serious look.

   "Understood, brother, I promise not to do it again." Liu Changjiang said with shame.

"what happened?"

   Liu Changfeng asked in a stern voice, and Wang Tielong and the others also stared at him.

"I…"

  Liu Changjiang was a little panicked. The person he was most afraid of here was not Wang Tiejun, but Wang Tielong and the other three.

  Wang Tiejun did not hide it for Liu Changjiang. After all, these things may happen in the future, and he hoped that everyone would take precautions.

   "You bastard!" After hearing this, Liu Changfeng cursed in anger.

The three of Wang Tielong were also very angry, Wang Tielong said in a deep voice: "Changfeng, the martial arts hall is now the foundation of more than 1,600 brothers in the United States, not to mention a million dollars, even if it is 100 million dollars, it can't be affected. The reputation of the K martial arts hall should not affect the reputation of the Tiejun, if it is committed again, the martial arts hall has the rules of the martial arts hall, you should keep it in mind."

   "Got it." Liu Changjiang, who was already sweating profusely, said quickly.

   "Tie Jun, don't let this kid do it, let's replace him in Los Angeles." Liu Changfeng said at this time.

  Liu Changjiang only looked at his eldest brother, but did not dare to speak.

   shook his head, Wang Tiejun said: "Among us brothers, I don't feel relieved that no one will go to the top and leave it to outsiders."

Liu Changfeng snorted coldly at his third brother, Changjiang: "Changjiang, with so many brothers, you are definitely not the only one who has the ability to manage the martial arts hall. As long as you give the opportunity, there will definitely be a lot of capable brothers. I'm careful."

   "Got it, big brother." Liu Changjiang whispered.

   "Now let me talk about the supervisor, the branch, and the four halls."

   Everyone criticized Liu Changjiang, and then Lao Wang brought the topic back.

  On October 11th, Wang Tiejun sent away Wang Tieshu, who was in New York, and flew to Los Angeles with Liu Changfeng, Liu Changjiang, and a few brothers who were interested in martial arts from the Phoenix branch.

These people, plus two from New York and a few from Los Angeles, make up a total of ten people. In the future, if there is a martial arts job, they will do martial arts work, and if they don't have martial arts work, they will Dry massage, two do not delay, anyway, a lot of money.

  Cheng Long has arrived, and he also brought a few people from the marriage class.

   He also brought news that the next movie is being prepared, called the Flying Eagle Project. If you want, Flying Pigeon Film and Television can participate in the investment.

   The investment in this film is as high as HK$120 million, which is far more than the US$8 million in the Hongfan District. Jiahe feels that the risk is very high, and hopes to introduce other investors, giving Feige Film and Television an investment quota of 20 million.

   In this era, among the stars in Xiangcheng, Cheng Long's films cost the most to make, while Li Lianjie and Zhou Xingxing cost much less, but between HK$10 million and HK$20 million.

   And Cheng Long's films also lost money. The miracle filmed with Mei Yanfang in 1989 invested 80 million Hong Kong dollars, and the loss was a mess.

However, Feige Film and Television has just begun to develop, and it needs opportunities. Moreover, Cheng Long’s Hongfan District has just opened up the Hollywood market, and its box office appeal has greatly increased. Therefore, after careful consideration by Feihong, he finally decided to invest 20 million yuan. It is a trial water.

  The company's funds are definitely not enough. Lao Wang took 10 million yuan from his pocket and joined this investment as a private investor, and his share was considered flying pigeons.

He stayed in Los Angeles for the next few days. On the 18th, when the preseason was over, Colangelo Jr. informed him that the team would choose Ben Wallace and asked him his opinion if he wanted Ma Jian Stay, the team can also consider.

This means that Ma Jian has been eliminated. He has no choice but to force his relationship to stay. In fact, there is no benefit. The Suns will at most give a basic salary. If they have no strength, they will have no chance to play. They will still have to leave next season. , the time has also been delayed, it is meaningless, it is better to go back and play CBA.

   "I have no opinion, but does the person recommended by Oakley really have good potential?" He asked curiously.

"Hey, there's really no one to pick. It's not very useful now. He's too tall to play a center, but it's just a basic salary, and there's no guarantee. There's no training value, so let him go." Colangelo sighed.

   Lao Wang then called Ma Jian. Ma Jian was quite frustrated, and he was too lazy to comfort him. He told Lao Ma that if he wanted to go back to China to play CBA, he would go back quickly. In the end, Ma Jian had no choice but to go back and play CBA.

   At this time, the martial arts company was successfully established. Liu Changfeng was in charge of the K martial arts hall, and a martial artist named Lu Huiguang was also in charge of Cheng Long.

   This Lu Huiguang has joined Cheng's family for many years. He has been a Muay Thai champion before. I don't know what level the competition is, but he really took the position last year and became Cheng Long's right-hand man.

  After the establishment of the company, all that was left was to use the contacts of K Martial Arts Hall for development. These Wang Tiejun did not care. On the 19th, he returned to Phoenix.

  Kevin Johnson has been back for a few days, and the two of them had dinner at a restaurant in the evening.

   "Kevin, you're in good shape!" Pharaoh shouted happily when we met.

  Kevin Johnson said with a smug smile: "I train for two hours every day to stay in shape. Now my weight is three kilograms lighter than this time last year. I think the new season should have a good shape."

   Having said this, he said excitedly again: "By the way, old K, the effect of my medicated bath has become more obvious recently. I did a physical fitness test the day before yesterday, and my performance in the 3,000-meter run was a little better than this time last year."

   "Can my things be bad? You are a year older and your test scores are better, which means your physical fitness is better than last year." Lao Wang smiled.

   He then asked how the Lightning's injuries were, and the latter also said in a good mood: "Yes, I think the physical condition of the new season is better than last year."

   "Do more acupuncture."

After    exhorted, Pharaoh said again: "The glider has gone, and here comes Wilkins. You know his style better than me, you can talk about it."

Kevin Johnson nodded and said: "Whether it's offense or defense, our efficiency on the perimeter will be lower. The offense has you supporting it, and the defense problem should be bigger. In addition, he has no ability to pull off, your efficiency in the low post. will also be affected.

   Also, Wilkins is a typical black hole of the ball, you should pay attention when you score the ball, his chances are not good, don't give him. "

   "I will pay attention." Old Wang nodded.

   "Our strength in the new season..."

Kevin Johnson has also been to the headquarters, talked with Colangelo Jr., and has a good understanding of the current lineup. He said: "Robert Horry is not as good as Green, and the inside line is as weak as the outside line. The overall strength is not as good as last season. of.

   In addition, we have to train the rookie Michael Finley and waste some ball rights. I am afraid that the regular season record will not be as good as last season. "

   "Kevin, I want to fight in the regular season, you have to help me." Wang Tiejun said suddenly.

   Lightning froze for a moment, and immediately understood what Old K meant.

Old K's regular season data was the best last season, but the team's record was only third in the league and second in the Western Conference. In the end, he missed the MVP and only won the scoring title. He must be unwilling. Moreover, Old K won the FMVP, and he has not yet been reconciled. Won the MVP.

Wang Tiejun continued: "In the West, our strongest opponents are still Mosaic, Spurs, Supersonics, and Jazz. Their strongest teams are inside, not outside. We are not afraid of strong inside opponents. In the regular season, we don't have any. Disadvantage, there is a chance to fight."

   "Okay, I'll help you."

  Kevin Johnson nodded and said solemnly.

   The lineup of the new season will definitely not have the advantages of last year in the playoffs. Even if it can get out of the West, and the Bulls in the finals, the disadvantage on the outside is too great.

  The defense of the 3rd position is terrible, the 2nd position is a rookie, and the new season will introduce rules that are conducive to the perimeter offense. When it comes to Jordan and Pippen, the perimeter is likely to be beaten into a sieve.

So the two didn't talk about the playoffs, because they all understood that the playoffs are the playoffs, the regular season is the regular season, and the regular season is played in close quarters. The league's first record doesn't mean it can make a difference in the playoffs.

   But because of this, the Suns have a chance to fight in the regular season. What if they succeed? A real superstar, without the honor of MVP, is not confident enough.

   The two chatted about the team for a while, and then talked about the K martial arts hall.

   Old Wang talked about the reorganization of the four halls of the martial arts hall. Lightning asked curiously what medicinal food was. He introduced it and suggested that Lightning would give it a try in the future, it would be beneficial.

   "Will it be expensive?" Kevin Johnson asked worriedly.

  Old K's stuff is really good, whether it's medicated bath or medicated oil, he has tasted the benefits, but just one point, it's too expensive, and with his income, he can't afford it.

In the new season, his annual salary has increased from 2.75 million last season to 2.9 million US dollars, which is the highest annual salary of his career. He has played for 9 seasons. Including the new season, his total career salary is only 16.71 million US dollars, which is not as good as the old one. The annual salary for the new season is less than 10 million after paying taxes. He still spends a lot of money on a charity school in his hometown, but there is not much left in the salary. Museum consumption.

It's just that he is old now, and his business income is almost gone, so he relies on a little salary to support him. For the past six months, he has spent the past six months in the K martial arts hall, medicated bath and medicated oil massage together, plus the cost of a dedicated massage therapist. , it reached 500,000 to 600,000 US dollars, the expenditure is too large, if this medicated food is very expensive, he really can't afford it.

Fortunately, his contract year has arrived. After the new season, he can sign a new contract. Now he only hopes to stay in the Suns and get a big pension contract. This is also his extra training in the offseason. s reason.

   Old Wang scratched his head. He had actually been thinking about this issue all the time. Last time Liu Yumin spent 50,000 yuan to buy medicinal oil, he thought of lightning.

   He also understands Lightning's economic situation. He has no money, but he has a very good relationship with Lightning. He also hopes that he can continue to maintain his condition with medicinal baths and medicinal oils, and the next contract can be bigger.

   He thought for a while and said, "So, Kevin, I'm going to introduce a black card in Kwuguan, which is a real discount card..."

   "Pfft, haha..."

   Hearing the discount, Kevin Johnson laughed. Damn old K, who dares to ask for your discount?

   Lao Wang smiled awkwardly and said, "It's a real discount, 50% off the cost of medicines and exclusive massage therapists."

   "Damn, old K, tell me, how much money did you make us?"

   Kevin Johnson immediately jumped up and held Wang Tiejun down when he heard the 50% discount, and pressed down angrily.

   "If I don't earn much, I won't earn 50% off." Pharaoh said quickly.

  Kevin Johnson let go of Pharaoh, sat back and said, "You kid, you must have made a lot of money. Okay, 50% off, you can save a lot of money."

  Pharaoh laughed non-stop.

  The current medicinal materials in the United States are several times more expensive than those in China, but a pair of medicine is about 30 US dollars. If it is 50% off, the medicinal bath prescription will cost 500 US dollars, which is also a dozen times the profit.

"Kevin, I'm under a lot of financial pressure. Now more than 1,600 brothers are eating with me. Do you know how much the annual salary is? I calculated it yesterday, and I was shocked. It cost more than 100 million yuan." he said.

"so many?"

  Lightning was also startled, and quickly said: "Then you can't send your black card randomly, just send it to me alone. I have a face when I say it, the only black card holder in the K martial arts hall."

   "Haha..." The two laughed.

   smiled, and in front of Lightning, he called Lei Gong with his mobile phone and told him about the discounted black card.

   "Really? That's awesome!"

  Dan Marley is also very happy. His salary is similar to that of Lightning, but he has no commercial income. The consumption in K Wuguan is much less than Lightning, and he is not afraid to use it. Now if he takes 50% off, it will be much more comfortable.

   He also issued these two black cards in total, and Barkley was not willing to give them. The fat fat man is not short of money, and his salary is not much, but with a lot of business income, it is not cheap for him.

   "Old K, what is the medicinal diet you just said?" Lightning asked curiously.

   "It's what we have spread in China for thousands of years..."

   When he explained, he suddenly thought of a question. The medicated meal must be promoted through restaurants or restaurants, but it is very troublesome to engage in the catering business. He is not interested, and there are too few medicated meals.

   "It doesn't seem like this thing can be promoted. Thanks to me, I also set up a health care hall. It seems that it can only be produced in the martial arts hall in the future, exclusively for VIP customers."

It's not that it can't be sold, it's just that it can't be promoted to the general population. It can only be sold to VIP customers. At this price, hey, the top-quality medicinal food enjoyed by the rich should be raised a little bit. First set a price...$10,000 a share.

  K Martial Arts' VIP service items are all luxury items, only the expensive ones are sold, not the cheap ones.

He intends to make the three VIP projects into real luxury goods, which are expensive enough to be of high quality. Think about those French truffles and Austrian caviar, which are sold by the gram, and a gram of dozens of dollars is just enough to eat ass. None, so what diamonds can be eaten or worn? What is the use of LV? The K martial arts are all real materials, the effect is great, and they must not be sold cheaply.

   "Ten thousand?"

   Hearing this number, Lightning immediately picked up the wine bottle on the table, ready to smash Old K's head.

   "Eight thousand."

  Pharaoh immediately changed his tune.

   "That's too expensive. I can't afford a 50% off black card. I'll go bankrupt after eating a few of your medicated meals." Lightning said angrily.

   He persuaded: "Let me tell you, Kevin, it's a good thing, eat it for decades, it will keep you long and live a hundred years old..."

   "Eat for decades? I'm afraid I'll die of poverty before I live to be a hundred years old, you **** capitalist." Lightning said angrily.

   "Don't worry, I will treat you. As long as you try your best to help me this season, I will treat you without spending a cent." Lao Wang said quickly.

   "What did you say?" Lightning laughed.
