I was so busy before that I forgot about it.
Xu Xin slapped his forehead. Fortunately, it was not too late. He said hello to McHale and hurriedly left the arena.
I have always had the idea of opening a massage parlor, and the hotel opposite the arena happened to be out of stock. This place is nice, and it can be opened with simple decoration.
Xu Xin has a big plan. Alexander already has the idea of selling the team. After Fertitta took over in the previous generation, he continued Alexander's style and did not spend a penny of luxury tax.
Giving up on renewing Ariza's contract and signing Ennis, who was cheap but far inferior to Tiezha, was the beginning of the team's decline. A series of subsequent operations made the Rockets farther and farther away from the championship. Harden had the intention of leaving the team. As a result That is, both sides suffer.
Harden prepared passively and showed off his weight, which later led to him straining his hamstring during high-intensity continuous battles with the Nets.
The Rockets lost Harden and completely rebuilt, failing for three years and finishing last every year.
Although the general manager has a big problem, the boss's unwillingness to pay is also to blame.
In the last life, Xu Xin thought more than once that if he were the owner of the Rockets, he would definitely make large-scale reinforcements, like the Warriors and Clippers. The fans would be happy to watch, the players would be happy, and he would be comfortable to watch, so why not do it? Woolen cloth?
Since he was reborn once, Xu Xin would naturally not miss this opportunity.
Xu Xin drove through the busy urban area of Houston and took a roundabout way to the local Chinatown, where there is the only traditional Chinese medicine massage parlor in Texas.
Houston is an area where Chinese people gather, so it is not unusual for traditional Chinese massage parlors to open here.
However, in the United States, traditional Chinese massage is not as widely accepted by the locals as it is in China. It mostly provides services to the Chinese community. The income of masseurs is also relatively average, so survival is not easy.
Although the sports rehabilitation massage therapy provided by the system is easy to use, the massage effect is always better if it is done by a professional. Since he is going to open a store, Xu Xin feels that he should be more professional.
After parking the car, Xu Xin walked into the massage parlor. He was greeted by a faint aroma of herbal medicine, which immediately made him feel relaxed and happy. The dim lights inside the store reflect the ancient furniture, giving it a full sense of age.
"Hello, welcome. How can I help you?"
The shop owner is a middle-aged man with some gray hair. He looks like he has been immersed in Chinese medicine for many years.
"Hello, my name is Xu Xin. I am very interested in this massage parlor. I wonder if I can tell you about this massage parlor?"
Xu Xin asked politely.
The middle-aged man was a little surprised, looked at Xu Xin with his eyes, and suddenly said:
"I know you. You are the general manager of the Rockets, right? My son likes basketball very much. He is a Rockets fan."
"It's me. Thank you for your son's liking of Rockets."
Xu Xin said with a smile, with this relationship, the acquisition must be negotiated.
"My name is Li Cheng, a man of integrity. Welcome Manager Xu to our store."
The middle-aged man stretched out his hand to shake Xu Xin's hand and led Xu Xin to a quiet room.
"Manager Xu, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Li Cheng poured Xu Xin a cup of tea and said politely.
Xu Xin quickly thanked him and said:
"Boss Li, just call me Xu Xin."
Seeing that Xu Xin's words and demeanor were very approachable and sincere, Li Cheng immediately said:
"Okay, how many years am I older than you? How about I call you Brother Xu?"
"Okay, Brother Li."
Xu Xin said, after a few polite words from both parties, Xu Xin got to the point.
"Brother Li, how is the business of your store? I hope I'm not presumptuous."
Xu Xin said with a smile.
"My massage parlor has a good reputation, and the masseuses are very professional in their techniques. But you also know that this is the United States, and outside this community, traditional Chinese massage has not received much attention. The business mainly relies on Chinese customers, and the income is relatively limited. "
Li Cheng sighed and said.
Xu Xin looked clear, as he expected.
"I have a business here, I don't know if Brother Li is interested in it."
Xu Xin said.
"Oh, Brother Xu, come and listen."
When Li Cheng heard about the business, he immediately became interested.
"I plan to open a massage parlor next to the Rockets training base. I hope Brother Li can help me manage it, and you can pay whatever you want. In addition, I will bring all the masseurs here to my shop, and I will provide better wages and A better working environment.”
Xu Xin took a sip of tea and said with firm words and a sincere light in his eyes.
"Brother Xu, are you serious?"
Li Cheng was a little surprised. He was not sure whether Xu Xin was on a whim or had been planning for a long time.
Xu Xin put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Li Cheng seriously and said:
"Of course I'm serious. I'm not just on a whim. I've been thinking about this business for a long time. The Rockets players go through high-intensity training every day, and the physical exhaustion and injuries are a problem for everyone on our team. One of the most concerning things.
My unique massage therapy can be said to be the right medicine for you. As long as a massage parlor is opened, there will be no need to worry about business, and almost all of them are millionaires, some are even multi-millionaires, and their prices will definitely be much higher than yours.
Now that the core massage techniques are in place and the store has been selected, all that is left is managers and masseurs. It can be said that everything is ready and all it takes is the east wind. "
Xu Xin explained.
After listening to Xu Xin's explanation, Li Cheng's doubts gradually dissipated and were replaced by a hint of excitement.
Although he doesn't know much about basketball, he knows about Chinese medicine. Li Cheng has been engaged in the traditional Chinese massage industry for decades. The miraculous massage therapy Xu Xin mentioned is not impossible. It should be noted that traditional Chinese medicine is profound and profound, and is far more magical than most people realize.
"Brother Xu, can you let me experience this massage therapy?"
"Of course, Brother Li. To be honest, you are the third client of my massage therapy. The first two are Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. They have been doing massage for more than half a month, and their injuries have been greatly relieved. . You have to experience it later and look forward to your feedback."
Xu Xin said, very confident in his words, are you kidding me, the product produced by the system must be a high-quality product.
"It's so magical and the relationship is so good. It's better to choose a different day than to hit it right now. I must experience it."
Li Cheng immediately stood up and took Xu Xin to a massage room. He asked Xu Xin to wait for a moment while he went to the inner room to shower and change clothes.
When everything was ready, Xu Xin took a deep breath, went through the entire set of movements in his mind, found the right acupuncture points and started doing it.
His massage techniques are unique and exquisite, like a gorgeous dance. Through unique massage and acupoint massage, Li Cheng feels refreshed and relaxed, as if his whole body has been reactivated.
"What...what's going on?"
Li Cheng asked in disbelief.
