Chapter 313 Autumn Snow Garden

Postman Karl Malone, retired.

Witherspoon, due to serious injuries, retired.

Gary Payton does not plan to retire. He won the championship and chose to leave. The minimum salary contract can no longer keep this veteran.

Brent Barry, who had the same one-year veteran contract as Payton, chose to leave the team after winning the championship. He will not be willing to take a veteran contract again.

The contract of backup forward Malik Rose has expired. He is 31 years old, not very old, but has been injured. His performance in the Knicks this season has been average, and he is not as useful as rookie Varejao. His contract will not be renewed.

Moreover, Malik Rose's agent asked for too high a price, a four-year, $30 million contract extension. Although the Knicks are rich, they are not stupid. Instead of keeping Rose, it is better to reuse Varejao.

Josh Howard still has two years left on his rookie contract, so there's no need to worry about that.

Nash has three years left on the four-year contract he signed last season, so there is no need to worry about it.

Crawford was signed and then traded by the Bulls last year. He still has five years left on his contract, so don't worry about it.

There is no need to take care of the rookie Varejao. Now that the Mailman is gone, he can be promoted to the starting lineup, or we can find another main power forward.

Of course, now that the Knicks have successfully defended their title and have become the public enemy of the league, it is very difficult to find a good power forward and it depends on the opportunity.

Depending on the situation, the marginal player Bralosandrov can be kept and given a minimum salary contract. If there is a better one, he can be replaced.

Shane Battier, whose four-year rookie contract has ended, needs to renew.

In other words, now the Knicks only need to negotiate a contract extension with Battier, but five important rotation players are confirmed to retire and leave the team, and the lineup needs to be filled, which is still a lot of work.

We have talked with Battier and his agent before, and the two sides have reached an agreement. Battier has signed a 6-year, $3683 million contract.

So next, he just needs to complete the lineup and prepare for the three consecutive championships next season.

There are only six players who can be confirmed in the lineup: He Zhongqiu, Nash, Battier, Josh Howard, Varejao, and Crawford.

There were no major changes to the main lineup, but the substitute lineup had too many people leaving and needed to be filled.

At 20 am on the 9th, He Zhongqiu and Yang Xue returned to China.

Yang Xue's health wasn't very good either, because He Zhongqiu had been tormenting her every day for the past few days after she won the championship, and she couldn't bear it any more, and her whole body felt like it was broken.

"Sister Xue, the matter of the concubine needs to be put on the agenda."

"You think beautiful!"

"Sister Xue, really, I only used a little bit of strength. I don't want more, ten concubines are enough, let them help you share the damage."

"Pooh!"

Yang Xue also had a headache. How should she get through the next week?
21 am on the 10st, Yanjing.

He Zhongqiu and Yang Xue landed at the international airport but were surrounded by a large number of fans and it took them more than an hour to leave.

Xia Song and Lin Xue each brought people to pick them up at the airport. They didn't go to the hotel or Yang Xue's villa. Instead, a group of six cars went directly to Hongluo Mountain.

When you arrive at Hongluo Lake, you can see a huge Jiangnan courtyard facing north and south hidden among the trees.

The car drove along a three-meter-wide cement path in the woods to the outside of the blue brick wall, entered through the big iron gate, and stopped at the entrance of the courtyard.

Outside the courtyard is a parking lot, about half an acre in size, with a row of garages built in it. The garages are also decorated in an antique style with green tiles and blue bricks.

The entire yard is divided into three roads, and it is also a large yard with three roads and four entrances, covering a total area of ​​8 acres.

The left road covers an area of ​​2.5 acres, with a -meter-long garden in front, plus some flower halls, pavilions and towers.

Behind the left road are five small courtyards for receiving guests, each with two floors, three rooms and two wings. Each courtyard covers an area of ​​5 square meters and can accommodate dozens of guests in total.

In the middle is a large house with four entrances and five rooms, covering an area of ​​3 acres.

The second and third courtyards are the main courtyard. The main house is three stories high, the ear room and wing rooms are two stories high, the back house and the fourth courtyard are both two stories high, where the nanny and staff live, and the kitchen is in the back room.

In front of the right road is a 1300-square-meter swimming pool, and behind it is a 2.5-square-meter training hall, covering an area of ​​ acres.

On the left side of the courtyard, a stable was built according to He Zhongqiu's request, covering an area of ​​about one acre.

He Zhongqiu had only seen photos of what it was like inside.

The main gate was not opened in the lower right corner as in the past, but in the middle. The gate was wide and bright, and the two walls outside the gate were in the shape of a sword and wealth. On both sides of the gate were four two-story back houses.

There were always eight staff members employed in the courtyard, including gardeners, cooks, security guards, cleaners, etc., and they were all standing outside the door at this time.

"Wolverine!"

"boss."

When they saw He Zhongqiu, the eight people immediately started greeting him excitedly.

"Hello, where are you from?" He Zhongqiu also greeted them.

After asking, I found out that the eight people were all from Hongluo Town and Yanqi Town. Hongluo Mountain belongs to these two towns, so they are all fellow villagers.

Entering from the main gate, there is a screen wall inside, and behind it is a second gate that you cannot exit from, which is the so-called hanging flower gate, the inner gate.

I walked around the front yard and went to the second entrance instead of going up to the second floor.

There is a small garden in the second courtyard, with rockery, springs, and more than a dozen transplanted and growing flower trees.

The main house has three floors and five rooms, with two two-story ear rooms on each side, and the wing room has two floors and three rooms.

Following the corridor in front of the wing room, He Zhongqiu, Yang Xue and others walked around the second courtyard, and then entered the third courtyard from the side room.

The third courtyard is similar to the second courtyard, and is also the real main courtyard. He Zhongqiu lives in this courtyard.

"Brother Xia, Manager Lin, please take a look around first."

He greeted her and pulled Yang Xue into the main hall, and asked casually, "Sister Xue, should our bedroom be on the first floor, the second floor, or the third floor?"

"Hmph, what nonsense are you talking about? Who would live with you if you're not married yet?" Yang Xue said angrily.

He Zhongqiu laughed and said seriously, "Sister Xue, let's make it clear first. After we get married, you have to fulfill your duties as the first wife and help me find ten concubines."

"go with!"

Yang Xue felt both embarrassed and annoyed.

He Zhongqiu pointed to the west wing outside and said with a smile: "Look, Sister Xue, there are six rooms above and below. How about we have six children?"

"Six?"

Yang Xue's scalp felt numb.

"Ten concubines live in the second courtyard. There are more than 20 rooms in the main house and side rooms, plus their children, which is enough." He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

Yang Xue kicked He Zhongqiu and said unhappily, "You're a bad person. Go find one yourself. Don't expect me to help you find a concubine."

"No, that won't work. You have to find them, otherwise they won't obey you." He Zhongqiu said hurriedly.

"He Sanjin, I never realized before that you are so shameless!" Yang Xue said helplessly.

"Well, Sister Xue, which one is our bedroom?" He Zhongqiu asked with a smile.

Yang Xue said, "There is no bedroom on the first floor of the main house. It is where we usually gather and entertain guests. The bedrooms are on the second floor. The third floor is the collection room, entertainment room, and tea room. The trophies we brought back are all on the third floor."

He Zhongqiu looked around and found that Yang Xue had already purchased some mahogany furniture, but she still needed to buy a lot more and was still short of a lot.

The bedrooms on the second floor are very large, with a living room in the middle, the master bedroom on the east side, and the second bedroom on the west side, two rooms each, and both equipped with a bathroom.

According to the old saying, the east is the most honorable, the east bedroom is where the first wife lives, and the west bedroom is where the second wife lives.

He Zhongqiu walked around the four entrances again, and then went to the training hall on the right to take a look. The 1300-square-meter training hall, about two acres, was divided into three parts.

The first part is the strength training room, where various equipment has been installed and covers an area of ​​300 square meters.

The second part is a basketball court, which can be used for martial arts training after being covered with a blanket. It covers an area of ​​600 square meters.

The third part is the dressing room, physiotherapy room and other functional rooms, covering an area of ​​400 square meters.

I walked around inside and out, but it took me two hours to explore the more than a hundred rooms, big and small.

After having lunch prepared by the chef in the courtyard, He Zhongqiu, Yang Xue and their party prepared to leave as they had plans to go to the city in the afternoon.

Standing at the gate, he looked at the doorhead and saw nothing there. That was where the house number plate was hung.

"Sister Xue, what do you think about making a plaque for the Grand View Garden tomorrow?" he asked.

"Hehe..." Xia Song, Lin Xue and others all laughed.

"Just call it He's House." Yang Xue said helplessly.

"Can not be done?"

He Zhongqiu felt a little regretful, and after thinking for a while he said, "How about we take one character from each of your and my names and call ourselves Qiu Xueyuan?"

"Uh-huh."

Yang Xue liked this and immediately agreed with a smile.

He Zhongqiu called Xia Song to his car and asked after driving, "Brother Xia, how is your competition going?"

Xia Song said: "With your reputation and strong financial resources, we have been able to recruit some good talents and some good Sanda athletes.

Previously we mainly participated in other competitions, but now we are preparing for our own competition.

We have also discussed with Yanjing TV that they will give us some live broadcasts in the early stages, and give us a half-hour slot after 10 o'clock on Tuesday."

"If the ratings are not good, will we cancel it?" said He Zhongqiu.

"Ah."

Xia Song seemed to be under a lot of pressure. He looked three years older in the year I hadn't seen him.

"Do you think this is really feasible?" He Zhongqiu asked.

Xia Song said awkwardly: "The industry abroad is getting better and better, I hope it will be the same in China."

He Zhongqiu thought for a moment and said, "Brother Xia, I plan to open a martial arts school."

"Martial Arts School?"

Xia Song nodded quickly and said, "That's fine. I've suggested this to you before."

"No, you have to stop the fighting events and help me open a martial arts gym. I don't have much manpower available." He Zhongqiu said.

"Stop the competition?" Xia Song was stunned.

He Zhongqiu said: "There are several fighting events in China that are doing well now, and the market itself is so small, so we should not compete with them for business.

My current idea is to open martial arts schools all over the world, covering everything from traditional martial arts to modern fighting, and then go public in the United States to cash out.”

Xia Song smiled bitterly and said, "You gave me 10 million RMB, and I spent more than 1 million on operation. I spent another 6 million to buy a floor. Now the value of this floor has risen to more than 8 million. So I didn't lose money, and I can still make about 1 million."

He Zhongqiu smiled and said, "Brother Xia, the money you earn will be your bonus, and for the remaining 10 million, you can help me register a martial arts school."

"it is good."

Anyway, He Zhongqiu is the boss, and whatever the boss says counts, so Xia Song agreed.

He Zhongqiu said: "The martial arts school is divided into two parts, modern fighting and traditional martial arts. We need a lot of coaches, so just recruit people.

It is best to contact some martial arts schools and sports universities, such as Beijing Sport University and Shaolin Martial Arts School, and contact their top graduates.

I think modern strength training methods are more practical for ordinary people. You can recruit from abroad or train them yourself.

By the way, we can cooperate with Beijing Sport University and use it to train the professional strength training talents we need.”

Yang Xue interrupted and said, "Sanjin, why don't you cooperate directly with the General Administration of Sports? As for strength training, I remember you said that the domestic level is lower than that of the United States."

"Okay, let's do it."

He Zhongqiu nodded quickly and said, "First, hire some strength trainers from the United States to be teachers."

When they arrived at Hongluo Temple, He Zhongqiu burned incense, paper and set off firecrackers for his father.

This time, Yang Xue's relationship with He Zhongqiu was different. She kowtowed as the future daughter-in-law.

After staying on the mountain for a while, we headed towards the Haidian area.

He Zhongqiu and his party went to China Zhongqiu Film and Television Company, where he inspected the company as the boss.

However, the company has been filming a lot of dramas during this period, and most of the production staff are not in the company. There are also not many artists, as they are all filming outside.

Chen Daoming, Hu Jun, Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming are still there, as well as director Hu Mei.
When it was Deng Chao's turn, he smiled excitedly and said, "Hello, idol."

"Deng Chao, are you so happy?" After shaking hands, He Zhongqiu was a little surprised.

Deng Chao said with a grin, "Yes, I'm happy that you successfully defended your title! Idol, can you take me to watch the finals next year?"

"Sure, why not? I'll take care of the home game tickets."

He Zhongqiu agreed without thinking. No one wanted the dozen or so tickets he had, so he returned them all to the Knicks.

"That's great!" Deng Chao said excitedly.

After this, Chen Daoming also said: "Well, for Mid-Autumn Festival, give me one too. I also like playing basketball."

Hu Jun smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is good at shooting three-pointers, so he can shoot three-pointers."

"I just love shooting three-pointers." Chen Daoming said happily and somewhat proudly.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements for whoever wants to go." He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

He Zhongqiu then shook hands with Huang Xiaoming and asked, "Brother Xiaoming, you are here at our company. What play did Sister Xue arrange for you?"

Huang Xiaoming smiled and said, "Deng Chao and I have both joined Director Feng's "Assembly Number". Filming will start in November and we are preparing now. By the way, Hu Junge is also in the same group."

"Row."

He Zhongqiu nodded.

He said to Chen Daoming: "Teacher Chen, do you have any projects?"

Chen Daoming said: "I just finished filming Aftershock, so I don't have any for now."

He Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Wu Jing and Zhang Jin are coming back. They have some ideas and will be back in a few days. You can discuss with them."

"Okay, I will." Chen Daoming nodded and smiled.

Wu Jing and other young people are considered to be He Zhongqiu's trusted team. They came back from Hollywood specifically to film, so there must be action scenes. It would be nice to be able to work with them.

"I can't be left out. Teacher Chen and I will be in charge of the literary scenes, and Wu Jing and the others will be in charge of the martial arts scenes." Hu Jun shouted hurriedly.

He Zhongqiu laughed and said, "Just talk, as long as the project is good, the company will strongly support it."
