Chapter 350: Explosive Talent
I rushed back home from the away game in the middle of the night and it was already two o'clock in the morning.

Bai Bingbing was awakened by him. The two of them moved around for a while, then tossed and turned for an hour before falling asleep. They slept until 9 o'clock before getting up.

In the morning, Jordan accepted interviews from the media in Chicago.

The reporter asked: "Michael, who do you think is better, the Knicks with 73 wins or the Bulls in the 95/96 season?"

Jordan thought for a moment and said, "I answered a similar question last time and it's the same now. I think we're going to get blown up in the paint, but we're going to blow them up from the outside.

That Bulls team had me, Scotty, and Ron Harper on the perimeter, and we were able to limit Nash to the greatest extent possible.

So I think the Bulls in the 95/96 season were stronger than the current Knicks.”

The reporter asked again: "After you retired from the Bulls, the league changed from a strong East and weak West pattern to a weak East and strong West pattern.

In the past five seasons, the Western Conference won all the championships, with the Spurs winning two championships and the Lakers winning three consecutive championships.

But then the Knicks won two consecutive championships, and this season's regular season record is also stronger in the East. So do you think the current pattern of the East being weak and the West being strong has changed?"

Jordan smiled and said: "Of course, there is no doubt that this season the league has truly shown a pattern of strong east and weak west.

In the East, there are four teams with more than 4 wins, namely the Knicks, Heat, Pistons and Cavaliers, while in the West, there are only the Spurs and Mavericks. "

He Zhongqiu met with his accountant at home and had lunch together.

It's time to pay taxes every year, and there are many people watching him, so he repeatedly told Phillanz not to make any mistakes.

From April 05 to April this year, his income was not as much as the previous year because he fought less and 4% of his income was recorded in the company's account.

He set aside $2.5 million for taxes, which should leave him with tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Phillanth brought a large stack of tax payment slips and a personal financial statement. He took a look and found that his personal income in the previous year was $3.53 million, and his investments amounted to $1.31 million in personal taxes.

"Boss, your personal income has basically been transferred out of the United States. You have not invested in the United States, so the tax reduction is not much."

“Can’t my companies get a tax break?”

“Sure, but that’s corporate, not personal taxes.”

"Okay, you continue."

"Boss, 3% of your personal income is recorded in the accounts of two American companies, about million US dollars, mainly from some boxing income and film remuneration.

The company's income tax is much lower than the personal income tax. In addition, the company can avoid and reduce taxes through various legal means, which can save hundreds of millions of dollars in personal tax compared to putting all the taxes in your name."

"Boss, you need to set up a charitable foundation so that you can avoid taxes more legally."

After talking for two hours, he ended the meeting.

After paying taxes, there will be about $1.2 million left, of which he plans to invest $1 million in He’s Security Company.

The company is registered in the Cayman Islands, has only invested 20 million US dollars so far, and its head office is located in Yanjing City.

He plans to build this company into a global security company and open a branch in the United States, and then continue to invest more money as he gains more money.

After lunch, the sports car reserved for Bai Bingbing arrived home.

Bai Bingbing originally planned to study law at New York University, but ultimately failed because she has not yet obtained her bachelor's degree.

American law schools only accept graduate students, and there is no law major in undergraduate studies, so she is not qualified.

At that time, James Dolan didn't know that Bai Bingbing only had a high school education. The school only discovered it later when she submitted her information.

In the end, He Zhongqiu got an admission letter from New York University's School of Business through James Dolan. He was admitted directly without even an interview.

New York University's School of Business' undergraduate and graduate programs are very famous, with accounting being the best.

Of course, the most famous department of New York University is the School of Art, which is where Zhang Yimou's daughter is currently studying abroad.

Bai Bingbing chose to study business between the business and art colleges, which meant she had to give up her newly begun acting career.

An undergraduate degree generally takes four years, and a graduate degree in business takes one year. She will probably have to study in New York for at least four to five years before she can get a master's degree in business.

At around 3:00 p.m., Zhang Mo arrived.

Zhang Mo was invited by He Zhongqiu. She is five months older than him and has studied for three years as a graduate student at the Film School of the School of the Arts at New York University.

I studied for an extra year because I majored in architecture as an undergraduate and just received my master's degree.

"Sister Mo, are you planning to return to China for development or stay in the United States?" Bai Bingbing asked.

Zhang Mo and she are both from Xi'an. They met when they were filming White Bone World last time and became good friends. They often meet each other after coming to New York.

Zhang Mo glanced at He Zhongqiu and said, "I have discussed this with my father. He asked me to return to China. I want to intern in Hollywood for a while. Zhongqiu..."

"Okay, go find Ross Lewis first and ask him to arrange a position for you." He Zhongqiu said without waiting for Zhang Mo to finish.

"Okay, thank you, Zhongqiu. Then I will go to Los Angeles tomorrow." Zhang Mo said hurriedly.

Her parents divorced when she was a few years old, and she lived with her mother. She had a relationship with Zhang Yimou, but it was far less deep than that with her mother.

My father has a new family and now has two younger brothers. Last time he said that she was pregnant with her third child, and it was said to be a daughter.

Her mother has been single and is still looking forward to her father returning home to reunite with the family, so her feelings towards her father are quite complicated.

Under this kind of emotion, she actually had quite complicated feelings about entering the film and television industry, because she had to accept her father's help.

Whether it was entering New York University for graduate studies or the last time in the Bone World, they were opportunities given by my father, and the tuition was also paid by my father.

Now that He Zhongqiu can give her a chance, it is very good for her, so she is very grateful to He Zhongqiu for his help.

He Zhongqiu shook his head and said, "It's a small matter. By the way, who are your father and Zhang suing?"

"Zhang Weiping, ah, they fell out. They had been working together for a long time, but now they have fallen out over money and are going to court." Zhang Mo sighed.

He Zhongqiu smiled and said, “Last time, I talked to Sister Xue about letting your father set up his own studio or company, and our company can invest in it and we can all cooperate.

In two years, you will come back to China to develop your business and help your father set up the company. Your father is not good at management or handling those miscellaneous matters, but you can do it.

Take control of the company, seize all your father's property, and then let your father work for you to support the children in his family."

"Ha ha……"

Bai Bingbing laughed first, and then Zhang Mo.

At nine o'clock in the evening, He Zhongqiu, who had just finished practicing Xingyiquan, did not even bother to take a shower and turned on the system.

Just now, the Five Elements Fist and the Twelve Forms Fist were both upgraded to level 5, and the Xingyi Fist was also truly perfected. "Congratulations to the host, the Xingyi Fist has been perfected."

"Agility +8, Speed ​​+8, Flexibility +8, Balance +8."

"Explosive power +8, breakthrough to extraordinary talent."

He Zhongqiu was very happy to see that his explosive power exceeded the limits of ordinary people and his balance ability was also off the charts.

Strength 101, stamina 100, agility 98, speed 90, flexibility 98, balance 101, reaction 93, willpower 96, vision 90, sense of space 95, explosive power 108, muscles and bones 140, qi and blood 150, average 104.

Not only did the explosive power break the limit of ordinary people, but the average also exceeded 100, which also broke the average limit of ordinary people.

His physical fitness has improved, and after a season of games and training, his basketball skills have also improved.

Basic skills: passing 95, shooting 77, dribbling 85.

In the offensive area, the basket was 99, close shots were 93, and mid-range shots were 92.

Offensive skills: dunk 99, layup 95, alley-oop 90, rebound 97, free throw 95, one-on-one at the basket 99, breaking double-team at the basket 97, aerial confrontation 99, low post confrontation 99, low post back-to-the-basket 95, low post facing the basket 95.

Defense, single defense 98, help defense 95, help defense 95, blocks 97, steals 85.

Rebounding, positioning 98, anticipation 98.

Tactics, offense 98, defense 98.

Organization, organization 60, cover 95, support 90, launch fast break 90
His abilities and skills in all aspects have improved, but his organizational skills and shooting techniques such as lobs and jump shots are not talented enough.

After four seasons of training, he has reached his peak in terms of physical fitness, skills, competition experience and stamina.

There is not much room for improvement in the future, and even if there is, the progress will not be great, and there will be no quality improvement.

He told Yao Ming that he would win five consecutive championships and retire after the Yanjing Olympics. In fact, he was just complaining. The last incident left him with some psychological trauma, and his desire to return to China for development became stronger and stronger.

But if the environment here is good in the future, he still wants to continue playing. Five consecutive championships are too few. He must win at least 12 consecutive championships and break Russell's record.

On the morning of the 21st, Zhang Mo flew to Los Angeles, arrived at : in the afternoon, and met Ross Lewis at around o'clock.

Ross Lewis gave her a position as assistant director and also worked as assistant editor.

She has good literary talent and often published articles when she was a child. Last year she also wrote a novel called My Father and Mother, so she was asked to work as a part-time editor.

This year, He Zhongqiu will be filming Predator for Universal Pictures. The company will invest 20% of the money, and He Zhongqiu will personally receive 20% of the global box office share and peripheral revenue share.

He and his company together hold 40% of the profits. This type of film is jointly produced and distributed by the company and Universal, and the company has a lot of say.

Lewis arranged Zhang Mo to be the assistant director of the Predator crew, which was basically a miscellaneous job. However, being an assistant director in such an A-level big-production crew could exercise her abilities very well.

"Bingbing, thank Zhongqiu for me..."

Zhang Mo happily called Bai Bing first, but did not call He Zhongqiu because she knew He Zhongqiu had training today.

"Mom, I found a job in Hollywood, assistant director, several positions, Mid-Autumn Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival film and television company."

"Mo, then you have to thank them."

"I know. By the way, Mom, now that I'm working and have an income, I'll bring you to live in the United States. We'll return home together in two years."

"No, Mom is fine. Why would I go to America and cause you trouble? No."

Then in the evening she called back home and talked to her mother Xiao Hua for a few minutes.

"dad……"

Finally, he called Zhang Yimou to inform him of this matter.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, that's fine too. If you work hard, you can learn a lot."

"Yes, I understand. By the way, I got a job right after I joined the company. The filming of Predator on Mid-Autumn Festival is a $1.2 million A-level production. It is now in preparation and I will be the assistant director."

"$1.2 billion?"

Zhang Yimou felt that his daughter was showing off, but he had no evidence.

"Dad, Zhongqiu asked you to start your own company, and I said it again yesterday."

"I don't have the energy right now. I'm in the legal battle with Zhang Weiping and I also have to prepare for the Yanjing Olympics performance. I don't have time."

"Zhongqiu asked me to come back to China in two years to help you start the company."

"That's good too. You should intern well in his company. His company is developing very fast and there are many opportunities in Hollywood." Zhang Yimou encouraged.

Zhang Mo felt that her father still cared about her, but it was a pity that he couldn't be with his mother. Could love have such a powerful magic?

After Zhang Yimou hung up the phone, he calculated the time and did not call He Zhongqiu. Instead, he called Yang Xue to express his gratitude.

On the 22nd, the first round of the NBA 05/06 season playoffs officially kicked off.

In the morning, Yao Ming called and said, "Zhongqiu, neither of us will participate in this year's World Championships. The higher-ups have objections!"

"Who cares about them? We'll be heading directly to the Olympics in 08 anyway, so it's just right for us to take a break in the next two years," said He Zhongqiu.

"This is all your responsibility. When the higher-ups blame me, I will push the blame onto you," Dayao said.

"You bastard, I told you to rest, but you still blame me? Are all you Shanghai people bastards?" He Zhongqiu cursed immediately.

"Just a joke, just a joke." Dayao said hurriedly.

He Zhongqiu advised: "You should stay in the United States during the off-season and don't go back, so as not to make them miss you and it will be difficult to answer interviews from domestic media.

Have a good rest and train well. We will fight hard in Yanjing in 08 to defend our Olympic title."

"It's difficult! NBA players like Wade and James will have grown up by then, and we..."

"So you have to fight hard, so you can't get hurt again in the next two years, be less troublesome, and set your goal on 08."

"Okay, I see."

"Well, I hope you don't make the playoffs in the next two seasons. I hope you can have plenty of rest time to recuperate."

"What the hell..."

"Beep beep..."
