God of NBA point guards

Chapter 163 Applying for a California Boxing License
The next day, Zhou Quan left Detroit and came to Los Angeles with Catherine.

On this day, the finals started.

But he didn't put any energy on the finals, that had nothing to do with him, he put all his energy on Catherine, and tried his best to water this bright flower that was blooming.

"Catherine, you can't delay any longer, the crew over there is urging you."

Three days later, the agent, George Futleyman, couldn't bear it any longer and called Catherine.

"understood."

"Catherine, there are many big shots chasing you in Hollywood. I have to say that you made a wrong decision. Iron Fist can't help you. You are not in line with him."

"Shut up, George, do you want me to trade my body for resources? I warn you, say it again, and I'll fire you."

"Okay, okay, just keep wasting your youth."

The two were lingering together for a week, and Catherine finally boarded the plane to the UK under the repeated urging of her agent.

"Zhou, as you said, you are going to see me in England."

"I'll be there."

The two kissed goodbye at the airport and broke up for the second time.

On June 6, under the arrangement of Philip, Zhou Quan had a detailed physical examination in a private clinic in Los Angeles.

The result was obtained on the 9th, and there was no major problem, but the doctor told him to pay attention to the wear and tear of the knee joint and ankle joint.

Because of his large tonnage, the wear and tear of his knee joints is greater than that of other point guards. If this continues, his knee joints are likely to suffer premature injuries.

But fortunately, his speed has not been very fast, and there are not many movements such as rapid changes in direction, so there is no problem with his ankle joint.

Also because the speed is not very fast, there is no excessive pressure on the knee joint during the emergency stop jump shot, mainly due to the wear and tear of the knee joint.

This requires weight loss to reduce the wear and tear on the knee joints, and he is in progress.

On the 10th, Zhou Quan made an appointment with Hughes Swildon, his private strength training session, and his manager Philip in the coffee shop of the hotel to make an offseason training plan together.

Swildon's original working city was Los Angeles. After the regular season, he has been staying in Los Angeles to work as a trainer.

"Zhou, Karl Malone, Larry Johnson, and Oakley, their managers have formally met with me and hope to have a boxing match with you. If you agree, I will formally negotiate with them."

Philip said this first, Zhou Quan nodded and said, "Rogge, it's okay to fight, but our kind of boxing match should be illegal, right?"

Philip nodded and said, "Of course, we can't really have an illegal appointment with them, so we need to find a legal platform.

But none of you have a boxing license, so we have to solve this problem first, apply for a boxing license for you, or participate in a certain fighting competition, which still needs to be finalized with them. "

"Okay then, you can formally talk to them." Zhou Quan nodded.

After talking about this, he said to Swildon: "Hughes, I plan to go back to China for a month, let my body have a period of rest, and then train again, Hughes, what do you think?"

Swildon said with a smirk: "Iron Fist, your body has just been devastated for a week. I think this consumption is even greater than that of the Eastern Conference Finals series. You need more time to let your body get the most out of it." Complete recovery."

Zhou Quan laughed and said, "Then how long do you think it will take?"

"One and a half months from now, you can start training at the end of July, and your body will recover by then. By early October, you have at least two and a half months to train. If you don't play pre-season , then you will have three months of complete training time." Swildon said.

"Does it take so long to recover?" Zhou Quan was a little suspicious.

"I'm referring to the most consuming strength training. During this time, you can do some endurance training and some shooting training. You can do all of these, but you must control the amount of training. It is better to train for half a day every day." Swell said Dun.

"Okay, then start strength training at the end of July." Zhou Quan nodded.

He asked again: "Do you have any good advice for knee friction problems?"

Swildon said: "I will continue to strengthen your lower body. Stronger strength can reduce joint wear and pressure. Strong muscle and tendon tissue can protect joints and better support your body.

I have adjusted your running posture before, which is also helpful to reduce the wear and tear of the knee joints. You have to stick to the new running movements. "

After seeing off Swildon, Zhou Quan asked Philip to drive him to go shopping.

I haven't been home for three years, so I must buy gifts for my parents, younger siblings, and my grandfather, even though he became a Taoist priest, he still needs gifts.

"Zhou, do you want me to book a ticket for you?" Philip asked.

"Of course, book a ticket to Guangzhou for me tomorrow." He said.

"OK."

Philip grabbed the hotel's phone and started booking a flight.

After inquiring, he said to Zhou Quan: "Zhou, the flight to Guangzhou is at night, not a direct flight. It will take 17 hours. You will arrive in Guangzhou at night, which is inconvenient. Why don't you fly to Xiangcheng, direct flight, tomorrow morning At 10:30, arrive in 14 hours, you can have lunch in Xiangcheng."

"also."

Zhou Quan nodded.

Then the two drove out of the hotel and didn't come back until dark. Zhou Quan's room had already piled up a lot of things, including three suitcases, including his own, there were four big suitcases.

That night, the Bulls lost the G4 game in the away game. The two sides drew [-]-[-]. Both lost an away game and both won an away game.

The next day, on the morning of the 11th, Philip saw him off, and Zhou Quan boarded the plane to Xiangcheng.

At about 6:12 noon on June 1, the plane arrived in Xiangcheng.

Zhou Quan holds a Chinese passport. After landing in Xiangcheng from abroad, he has a seven-day visa-free period, and he can stay here for seven days.

He plans to stay here for a day, and then buy some large household appliances, such as air conditioners, and TV sets.

All I buy in Los Angeles are clothes and food, as well as small appliances, computers, etc. It’s not convenient to bring those big ones.

At about two o'clock, he was pushing four suitcases and was about to leave Kaide Airport.

With a whoosh, suddenly a group of reporters and a large group of young men and women who looked like fans rushed forward and rushed towards him.

"No way, I don't have the same treatment in Detroit?"

A little confused, but soon he knew that he had made a mistake, because the group of reporters ran past him.

Looking back, a group of reporters surrounded a handsome young man wearing sunglasses.

"Liu Tianwang..."

"Andy Lau..."

Zhou Quan scratched his head in embarrassment, it turned out to be Liu Furong, hey, no, when did he change his name to Liu Tianwang, this name is domineering!

He didn't know that starting from this year, the Xiangcheng entertainment circle had started to introduce the concept of the Four Heavenly Kings, and the four most influential male stars became the Four Heavenly Kings.

Walking out of Kai Tak Airport, a waiting taxi drove over immediately.

Seeing that he was carrying four suitcases, the middle-aged driver came down to help. Two suitcases filled the trunk of the taxi, and the remaining two were thrown into the back seat.

While helping, the driver looked at Zhou Quan.

The suit and leather shoes that this young man is wearing seem to be famous brands. He is wearing a Rolex and sunglasses.

However, with so much luggage and no workers around to take care of it, the net worth should not be much, it is just a rich bag, maybe the outfit on his body is full of parallel imports.

After getting into the car, Zhou Quan took off his sunglasses and said to the driver in Mandarin, "Hello, sir, please go to a hotel, if you are better."

"From Taiwan?"

The driver also changed his mouth to speak Mandarin, but it was not standard, with a strong Cantonese accent.

"Inland." He said with a smile.

"Mainland boy?"

The middle-aged driver immediately showed a superior expression.

He can now be sure that the outfit of this mainland boy, including that dazzling Rolex, must be fake, which immediately makes him feel a strong sense of superiority.

No wonder he was asked to find a hotel at random, what's the big deal if he doesn't have money?Just go to the cheapest store.

Zhou Quan spent three years in the United States, especially the two years at UCLA, a school with a large number of Asians, and he met many people with a sense of superiority.

Among these people are those from Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and India. Anyway, no matter where the international students are, they all have a strong sense of superiority in front of them.

Then after he became a sports star at UCLA, these people were docile in front of him.

"Sir, go to the Peninsula Hotel."

He didn't bother to pay attention to this kind of person, so he ordered directly.

"Half, Peninsula Hotel?"

The driver was startled, it was the best hotel in Xiangcheng, he had never been in it in his life.

When we arrived at the Banniao Hotel, there was a Daben parked at the gate. The driver parked the car behind and said to Zhou Quan: "Sir, we're here. With luggage, we'll charge you a total of 230 yuan."

"Change."

Zhou Quan took out his wallet, which contained a large stack of US bills, threw one over, and waited for the driver to change the money.

The driver looked at Zhou Quan's stack of dollar bills, there were at least dozens of them. He quickly picked up the bills and looked at it. It was a hundred dollars, and then took a closer look. All change in change.

While arranging the change, he glanced at Zhou Quan from time to time. This young man, he missed it. It turns out that Daluzi is also so rich. No wonder he wants to stay at the Peninsula Hotel.

At this time, the Mercedes-Benz in front drove away, and the Chinese waiter at the door came over, bent down to look at Zhou Quan, and asked in English: "Sir, do you need anything?"

"Help me take down the suitcase in the car, thank you." Zhou Quan said in English.

"Immediately." The waiter said respectfully.

The middle-aged driver sorted out all the change on his body, and found that there was still a difference of 20 yuan, so he said to Zhou Quan awkwardly: "Young man, do you think it's [-] yuan short?"

Zhou Quan took a large amount of change and put it in his pocket without counting it, but he shook his head and said, "No, as far as I know, there is no rule of tipping in your industry, so I don't need to tip you."

The driver froze and said in embarrassment, "Then what should I do?"

At this time, the waiter took down the four suitcases and waited respectfully aside.

Zhou Quan fumbled in several pockets, luckily, he found a few small bills in his butt pocket, he took a twenty-dollar bill and a ten-dollar bill, handed them to the driver, and exchanged for the hundred-dollar bill Big bills, said: "Based on the fixed exchange rate of 7.8, here is 234 Hong Kong dollars, and the extra 4 yuan is considered a tip."

"Thank you!"

Won't you give me some small bills first?Complaining in his heart, the driver was a little angry, and after Zhou Quan got out of the car, he kicked the accelerator and left.

Next, Zhou Quan opened a single standard room, brought the waiter to the room, and tipped the waiter twenty Hong Kong dollars.

"No, where did I get the Hong Kong dollars? Just now..."

After giving the tip, he realized that he should, as if, seemed to have taken advantage of that taxi driver.

"Sorry, if you come back to me, I will definitely pay you back."

After taking a shower, it was already three o'clock, and after lunch time, he was going to have a cup of coffee at the hotel's cafe.

As soon as he entered the coffee shop, he saw several big stars in Xiangcheng, such as Principal Tan, Li Lianjie, Mei Yanfang, and Guan Zhilin.

Follow the waiter to the table, not far from Lianjie, there is only one table across, and there are two sitting on the middle table, bodyguards?Or plainclothes police?

Although they were wearing suits, he felt that those two people should be bodyguards, because when he and the waiter approached, those two people, as well as the men on the surrounding tables, were watching him intentionally or unintentionally.

He is most familiar with Li Lianjie. Li Lianjie settled in Los Angeles in 88. He also went to Los Angeles to study in the second year, and even went to Li Lianjie's martial arts gym to learn martial arts.

But Lao Li definitely didn't know him, because he only learned it once, and it was free, and he would have to pay for it later, so he didn't go.

After sitting down, he nodded towards Li Lianjie who was looking over, with a smile on his face, and Li Lianjie did the same, but he didn't speak.

Li Lianjie withdrew his gaze. He felt that he had seen this young man somewhere, but he didn't have a deep impression. He probably had never dealt with him before.

The waiter served Zhou Quan the latte he wanted, and he took out a cigar and shook it at the waiter, asking, "Is that okay?"

"Sir, cigars are fine. I'll get you a cigar cutter." The waiter hurriedly said.

"Thank you!"

The waiter was very clever. He brought not only the cigar cutters, but also the alcohol lamp. He cut Zhou Quan's cigars and roasted them for him.

While Zhou Quan was drinking coffee and tasting cigars leisurely, the taxi driver who had just brought him to the hotel came to the hotel.

"He lied to me for a hundred dollars. I didn't lie. You let me go in and find him."

"Sir, you'd better leave immediately and don't disturb our distinguished guests, otherwise we will call the police and arrest them immediately."

The middle-aged driver was arguing endlessly at the entrance of the hotel, but several waiters blocked him outside and didn't listen to him at all. He was so angry that he wanted to hit the wall. Under the threat of the hotel, he could only leave angrily in the end. This is not him. A wild place.

"The rest is your tip."

Not long after, Zhou Quan finished his coffee and put down twenty dollars.

"Thank you sir." The waiter smiled.

Zhou Quan left the hotel and got into a taxi.

He is not familiar with Hong Kong. He came to Hong Kong for the first time and asked the waiter in the hotel. He knew that this place belongs to the Kowloon Peninsula, and there are some nearby attractions, such as Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei, Hung Hom Stadium and so on.In fact, he is also familiar with these, because Xiangcheng is so big, and these places are often mentioned in TV movies.

Temple Street is an open-air night market, and there is nothing to do during the day. He asked the driver to drive to Causeway Bay, where he walked for two hours. a suitcase.

Zihao Nan, the leader of Causeway Bay, took Luo Wen as his teacher. He joined a record company as a singer last year and has not yet acted in a movie. Causeway Bay is not as famous as it will be in the future, but Zhou Quan also knows this street, and it is also through the movie of Xiangcheng. television.

He also visited a few antique shops in Causeway Bay. He didn't understand this stuff, but he knew the word "missing", and he knew that many cultural relics and antiques had been smuggled out of the country over the years. Xiangcheng is a smuggling channel, so Want to try my luck.

"This, that, and those, come on, how much is the package?"

The boss has a headache for a while, do you buy antiques like this?When I'm here as a vegetable market, still packing?I even talk about copper coins here.

In the end, he went to a few stores and bought a lot of things, such as bowls, plates, and a bronze Buddha, all of which were packaged, and he would not buy them if they were not packaged, which cost thousands of dollars.

Back at the hotel, he didn't plan to visit Temple Street at night, because the impression he had here was mediocre and not very good, so he might as well go to Chinatown in Los Angeles.

In the afternoon, I walked around Causeway Bay for two hours. Every time he spoke Mandarin, most of the time he would attract the contempt of the people in Xiangcheng.

To be honest, the outfit on his body is also worth more than 1 US dollars, which is better than most people in Xiangcheng. I don’t know where their sense of superiority comes from, just because he speaks Mandarin?

At five o'clock, he dialed a phone number given to him by Citibank, which was the contact number of a car import and export company in Shenzhen.

"Hi, I'm Guangtong Company..."

"Mr. Zhang Renxuan? I'm Zhou Quan. Not long ago, Citibank commissioned you to import an SUV from the United States..."

"Oh, is that Mr. Zhou Quan? Hello, hello, I'm Zhang Renxuan, the general manager of Guangtong Automobile Import and Export Company."

The person on the other side was very enthusiastic, saying that the car had already been brought out of the customs, and as soon as he arrived in Shenzhen, he could get the car immediately.

On the morning of the 13th, he went to Causeway Bay again. This time he bought a few large electrical items, and hired a minivan that could go to the mainland. After checking out of the hotel, he loaded six suitcases into the minivan. , heading towards Luohu Port.
