Goldfinger is a bit strange

Chapter 987 The ball is round after all (1/2)

When the group returned to Chinatown, it was already afternoon.

Liu Qingshan set up a few tables in the restaurant. This victory was indeed worthy of celebration.

At the wine table, everyone was in high spirits and had already begun discussing the specific matters of establishing a traditional Chinese medicine hospital.

After some discussion, we discovered that funding is a big problem.

Whether it's building a new hospital or buying the right real estate in the city, there's nothing you can do without money.

Once you have a place, you also need people, and you need to hire traditional Chinese medicine practitioners from within the country.

A hospital without twenty or thirty doctors would probably not be able to support it.

When these traditional Chinese medicine doctors come to the United States, they need to provide food, clothing, housing, and transportation. They also need strong economic support in terms of wages and benefits.

And here, there is a language barrier. Those old gentlemen who are proficient in Chinese medicine don't speak any foreign languages.

The more we study, the more trouble we get, and everyone gradually calms down from the excitement: Even if they pass, what's the point, you can't get the money, and everything is empty talk.

An old man brought by the mute grandfather, President Guo of the Chinese Medical Association, said: "I'm afraid this matter can only be implemented if the state takes the lead. After I go back, I will immediately write a report to my superiors and strive for early implementation."

Once the matter rises to the national level, there will be many things planned, and it is estimated that it will not be implemented in three to five years.

Liu Qingshan didn't want to wait for so many years. He stood up and said: "Everyone, in terms of funds, I will find a way. The people involved need everyone to come forward."

In the initial stage, it cannot be fully rolled out. Liu Qingshan’s plan is to select ten or eight large cities as pilot projects.

After accumulating some experience, we will slowly expand.

President Guo still doesn't quite understand Liu Qingshan's strength: "Qingshan, although a traditional Chinese medicine hospital does not need to prepare too many medical examination equipment, the cost is not small. You..."

Song Yizhen interjected: "Mr. Guo, you don't know that my junior brother is a business wizard. A few days ago, I won 500 million US dollars in a bet with others. I opened several traditional Chinese medicine hospitals, or... OK."

With the current prices in the United States, real estate in big cities is not high. Even if it is high, a traditional Chinese medicine hospital costing 10 million US dollars is enough.

Chairman Guo looked at Liu Qingshan with surprise. In his eyes, this young man instantly transformed into a glittering little golden man.

However, there is another issue, that is, the ownership of ownership. There are many things involved here and require communication and coordination with the above.

After all, Liu Qingshan alone cannot hire so many Chinese medicine doctors.

This matter will be negotiated by Liu Yinfeng. As an investor, Liu Qingshan will definitely occupy the largest share.

"How to solve the language problem? After all, our traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to seeing, hearing, asking, and understanding, and we need to consult with the patient?" Another person raised a very practical question.

Liu Qingshan thought for a while: "We can only hire some international students from local cities to work as translators first."

It is indeed more difficult for those gentlemen in their fifties and sixties to learn English all over again. wWw.seven

However, in the long run, as long as you are in this language environment, you will gradually be able to master oral communication. It is just a matter of how long it takes.

Three days later, Liu Qingshan finally received the final decision of the hearing.

Just as Liu Qingshan expected, they were only allowed to conduct pilot projects and open traditional Chinese medicine hospitals in five major cities.

It is not easy to win such rights. It is a breakthrough from the strict barriers.

Liu Qingshan discussed with his team members and quickly selected five major cities for reporting.

The Big Apple and Los Angeles are, of course, on the list, along with Chicago, Houston, and finally Washington.

The entire team immediately began to inform operations, domestic aspects, report, and apply for overseas staff.

We also need to order various facilities, prepare medicinal materials, etc.

The superiors were very supportive of this matter. After the news was released, it was said that my head almost broke in order to fight for a place to work abroad.

Here, Liu Qingshan also seized the time to make preparations.

The most important thing is to choose a suitable location, preferably a ready-made building, and just buy it directly.

It was then that Xiao Zihou's ability became apparent. Lao Xiao had been traveling in major cities over the years and had already had his own network of contacts.

Whether it is contacting local international students to work as translators or looking for housing, everything is done with ease.

In this way, Liu Qingshan will be relieved, and he will have only one job left: to pay.

There were only five hospitals in total, so Liu Qingshan directly allocated 50 million. This amount of money was only one-fifth of what he won from the bet.

Looney and the others are all good comrades who have made such great contributions to the promotion of traditional Chinese medicine.

Liu Qingshan thought: If Looney and others are so angry that their livers hurt, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital will definitely provide them with free treatment.

Just when everything was progressing steadily, Liu Qingshan received a call from Mr. Magic, inviting him to the Windy City of Chicago.

It is said that the owners of the NBA have to gather there to discuss labor issues.

Several of the owners want to sell their teams, and he can serve as a bridge.

Chicago is also one of the cities where traditional Chinese medicine hospitals have been established. Liu Qingshan originally wanted to go there and have a look, but now is the time.

So he brought Li Tie and Vera, as well as President Guo and two assistants. Join the magician and take a flight to the Windy City.

Magic looks very good now, although he has only been using Chinese medicine for ten days, and the effect has not yet been fully demonstrated.

But with so many successful cases, Magic is of course full of confidence.

The plane has to fly half of the United States, and chatting is of course the best way to kill time.

It is quite interesting to listen to Magic's stories about the NBA, and Liu Qingshan also has a deeper understanding of this industry.

He used to understand the NBA from the perspective of fans, but now from the perspective of players and management, there is indeed a big difference.

In the past two years, the Bulls, led by Joe, have become a hot team at the moment. They won the championship last season and have the potential to establish a dynasty.

The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, and Magic is also the kind of person who is hit on the beach.

There is no way, this is the era of old hooligans, the general trend is irreversible.

When they walked out of the airport, someone met them. Magic was invited. He is one of the representatives of the players' union.

This is the third largest city in the United States. Due to the influence of Lake Michigan, there are often strong winds in winter, so it is nicknamed the Windy City.

Closely related to this city is May Day.

On May 1, 1886, hundreds of thousands of workers in Chicago held a parade to fight for an eight-hour workday, and finally won a great victory.

When Liu Qingshan arrived at the hotel he booked, he had already booked a room and checked in smoothly.

It happened that Lao Xiao was also in this city, so Liu Qingshan called his mobile phone. Not long after, Xiao Zihou led two people and rushed over excitedly.

"Boss!"

Xiao Zihou and Liu Qingshan hugged each other, and then introduced the two people. One was a local student representative named Wang Hexiang, and the other was Mr. Lu Shuren, a well-known local Chinese businessman.

After everyone greeted each other, Lu Shuren spoke first. He was nearly 40 years old, wearing glasses, and was gentle and refined: "Mr. Liu, the Chinese here are proud of you."

Originally in the Chinese business circle, Mr. Wang An was the leader, but the old man had passed away last year, and it seemed that there was no leader.

As a rising star, Liu Qingshan inherited the WANG computer brand, founded the Earth Network, and now took over Columbia Pictures. His influence has long surpassed that of Mr. Wang.

"Mr. Lu, you are too kind." Liu Qingshan never gets complacent. He said a few polite words and then got down to business.

Lao Xiao said that with the introduction of Mr. Lu, he had found three suitable properties. Liu Qingshan happened to be here, so he asked him to make the decision.

Liu Qingshan looked through the three documents and felt that the one in the city center was the most suitable. Of course, the price was also the highest, nearly five million US dollars.

But in Liu Qingshan's eyes, this one was too cheap.

In fact, the early 1990s was the time when the housing market here was at its lowest.

Of course, even if the price increased later, it didn't increase much. At the highest point, it was just doubled, so there was really no profit in dealing with real estate here.

Although he liked this place, Liu Qingshan still planned to ask Chairman Guo and others to go and see it in person. After all, these people were professionals.

After lunch, Liu Qingshan and his group were about to leave when Magic called and said someone was visiting.

Liu Qingshan then asked Lao Xiao to take Chairman Guo and the others there, because he wouldn't understand anything anyway.

Liu Qingshan lived in a suite with a small reception room outside. After a while, Magic led a middle-aged man in.

After introducing him, it turned out to be Mr. Jim, the owner of the Magic.

Jim is a local developer and banker in Orlando. Through his efforts, the Magic officially joined the NBA family two years ago.

Yes, the same is true for the Miami Heat, Timberwolves and Hornets, which were all formed after the expansion.

After sitting down and chatting for a while, Magic, as a middleman, got to the point. The owner of the Magic was interested in selling the team, and the price was not high, only 100 million.

Liu Qingshan remembered that when the Magic changed the owner in 1991, the final price of the team was 85 million US dollars.

So he smiled and said, "Mr. Jim, this price is a bit high."

Jim smiled and shook his head: "Two years ago, when we joined the NBA, we paid more than 30 million in franchise fees, so this price is very reasonable."

Liu Qingshan understood: It turns out that the NBA is a league that collects franchise fees, and it is indeed a good business.

In fact, the price is not a problem. The most important thing is that Liu Qingshan thinks that the city of Orlando is a bit small.

Although Orlando will select the Big Shark O'Neal next year and have the capital to compete in the league, if the club is too small, the influence will not be enough.

Liu Qingshan bought the team not for appreciation, but mainly for influence.

The two sides chatted for a while and completed the initial contact.

Things like this are of course not achieved overnight, and there is still room for negotiation.

After sending Mr. Jim away, Johnson said with a smile: "Mr. Mountain, please check the schedule. Several club owners want to talk to you next."

Liu Qingshan was also amused: "Am I so popular, or do the NBA team owners want to quit and sell off their clubs?"

The two laughed for a while, and then the magician said: "It's not that easy to run a team. It's hard work, and you may have to spend money."

Anyone who can afford to play a team, whether it's basketball or football, is rich.

Even the rich can't handle it, the ball is round indeed.

Liu Qingshan asked the magician again which team owners wanted to meet, and the magician listed the Spurs, Heat and Timberwolves.

"Are there any teams in bigger cities?"

Liu Qingshan felt a little regretful. Although the Spurs were not bad, they would not rise until the Stone Buddha joined, and that would take several years.

"How about Houston, is it big enough?" The magician blinked.

Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, has the title of Space City, so its team is called the Rockets.

The most familiar thing to Chinese people is that Yao Ming played for this team.

In Liu Qingshan's memory, the stingy boss Alexander seemed to have taken over the Rockets in 1995, spending 85 million at the time and finally selling it for 2.2 billion.

And through running the team over the years, he has earned tens of billions, which can be said to be a lot of money.

Among them, the Chinese fans have contributed the most.

This guy is undoubtedly successful in business operations, but he is reluctant to invest and lacks generosity.

"The team in Space City is barely okay."

Liu Qingshan nodded. In fact, he liked the teams in the Big Apple and Los Angeles the most. Unfortunately, he couldn't get them, so he could only settle for the next best thing.

After all, in the next few years, after winning three consecutive championships, Joe retired and did not work for two years. The Rockets also won the championship for two consecutive years.

The smile on Magic's face became more amiable: "But I heard that their boss is currently negotiating the price with someone. It seems to be a businessman named Alexander."

Have the two sides contacted so early?

Liu Qingshan blinked and felt that it was necessary to intervene so that Alexander, the stingy guy, would give up this idea as soon as possible.

So he said to Magic: "Mr. Johnson, please help me contact the owner of the Rockets."

"Mr. Mountain will definitely be fine."

Magic complimented him. Of course, he knew Liu Qingshan's strength.

With a casual 100 million, it is estimated that more than half of the current NBA team owners are willing to offer their teams.

That night, Liu Qingshan met the two bosses of the Rockets in the hotel's coffee shop.

After a few words of small talk, the two sides got down to business. The second boss wanted to raise his own value:

"Mr. Mountain, it's really a coincidence. We are in contact with Mr. Alexander. He is very interested in the team."

Liu Qingshan smiled slightly: "I haven't heard of this person. Maybe he is a small rich man in a small city."

The other party did not refute, because with Alexander's current net worth, in Liu Qingshan's eyes, he was just a small rich man.

The big boss smiled and said: "Mr. Alexander is really not generous enough. The price we offered is 98 million US dollars, but he is only willing to take out 90 million. He is really stingy."

This trick is not good enough in Liu Qingshan's eyes.

Based on his understanding of Alexander, it is good enough for that stingy guy to pay 70 million.

These two bosses are obviously ready to treat Liu Qingshan as a fat sheep to see if they can slaughter him.

Liu Qingshan took a sip of coffee slowly: "I don't like to beat around the bush. The price is 85 million."

The earth is hazy, and there is a ruined city, silent and lifeless in the dim blood rain.

The streets that used to be bustling are now bleak.

The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.

Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper remained, and it was indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fluff had long been soaked into wet red, full of gloom and weirdness.

The turbid eyes seemed to have some resentment, and looked at the mottled stones in front of them alone.

There, a figure was lying.

This was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with tattered clothes, full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.

The young man squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his tattered coat from all directions, attacked his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture was gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog about 70 feet away from him, and occasionally vigilantly observed the surroundings.

It seemed that in this dangerous ruin, it would instantly take off at the slightest movement.
