Chapter 863 963. Invitation
The martial arts hall located at the corner of the street is completely decorated in the Chinese style. The imitation wooden doors and windows look full of ancient charm. Walking into the house, the solid wood furniture and some Chinese-style furnishings make the whole martial arts hall full of Chinese style, and more in line with Baguazhang, the Chinese martial art.
The entire martial arts hall has a total of nearly 3,000 square meters on the three floors, of which the first floor is about 1,500 square meters, which is about the size of more than four standard basketball courts.
In addition to the front desk, this is also the main area for students to practice martial arts.
"At present, the martial arts hall is only equipped with basic training equipment. As for what else is needed, please give me a list, and I will help you within a week." Luo Kai brought a group of people to the martial arts training area and said while introducing it.
Mr. Cheng looked at the very spacious martial arts training ground. It is estimated that even if all the training equipment is fully equipped, it can accommodate hundreds or even nearly a thousand people to practice martial arts. He can no longer describe his satisfaction in words.
Once upon a time, he never dreamed that he would have such a large and beautiful martial arts hall.
"Now the floor of the martial arts hall is all non-slip solid wood flooring, which is strong and durable." Luo Kai stepped on the floor hard and said.
Hearing the words "strong and durable", the father and son of the Cheng family nodded subconsciously, and Cheng Ziguo also echoed: "That's right, practicing martial arts requires being down-to-earth, which consumes the most ground. A strong and durable floor is the best. In fact, I think cement floor is fine."
"After all, you still have to pay attention to face." Hearing this, Nie Wei smiled and said.
The old man nodded. Of course, when opening a martial arts hall, you can't just consider the practical application like his boss. The face must also be acceptable, or even more than acceptable, but also have a certain level, so that people can see that the martial arts hall is impressive enough, so that more people can come in to learn.
After all, most people yearn for the fact that the shabby martial arts hall hides peerless masters, but they also know that it only exists in novels. When most people really choose a martial arts hall, they still choose a martial arts hall that is formal enough, in a grand enough place, and has many apprentices.
"The best mahogany floor, laying such a large area, it must cost a lot, right?" Old Master Cheng squatted down and touched the floor, then asked Nie Wei.
"Not much." Nie Wei smiled and shook his head, without giving a specific number.
Old Master Cheng didn't believe what Nie Wei said, because his second son used to do wood business. Although it was many years ago, mahogany was not cheap at that time, not to mention that it is laid on such a large area now, the cost is definitely not cheap.
Looking at the ornaments and decoration materials along the way, they are all top-grade. This martial arts hall gives him the feeling of having cultural heritage and a hint of low-key luxury.
Although he secretly sighed at Nie Wei's big hand, the old man liked such a martial arts hall very much. He couldn't help but want to show off his skills when he could teach students here.
"This is the warehouse. Now there are only some anti-fall pads and training clothes customized for the martial arts hall. Do you want to take a look?" Walking to a corner on the first floor, Luo Kai pointed to the closed door and asked.
Old Master Cheng replied with a smile: "Young man, open the door and let us see."
"Okay, by the way, this is the key to the main door, and this is the key to the warehouse. The operation of the martial arts school will depend on you in the future, so you can open this door yourself." Luo Kai was very good at dealing with people, and he handed the key directly to Cheng Ziguo on the side.
The hands of a martial artist are naturally much more stable than those of ordinary people, especially Cheng Ziguo who practices Baguazhang, and he is very particular about the stability of his palms, after all, he practices these palms.
But when he took the key from Luo Kai, his hand couldn't help shaking.
It seemed that the key Luo Kai handed over was not a simple warehouse key, but the key to open a treasure. Like Cheng Ziguo, the brothers of the Cheng family were also staring at the key in Cheng Ziguo's hand, and everyone's expression became extremely solemn.
Others may not understand, but as a younger brother, Cheng Zimo understands the mood of his brothers at this time.
The Cheng family is a martial arts family, but the glory was cut off in the older generation. Although everyone practiced martial arts, they still had to work hard to make a living. Some farmed, some did small businesses, and some even became civil servants. Although they could make ends meet, it was obviously not the life they wanted.
As a martial arts family, the whole family naturally hoped to make a living with their greatest skills.
Unfortunately, it is not so easy to open a martial arts school. The first is the most practical problem, which is money.
Even if it is only in the local county, it costs millions to open a martial arts school. Although the old Cheng family has the conditions, they can't afford to pay millions to run a martial arts school with an uncertain future.
The second point is the reputation issue. The reputation of the old Cheng family's ancestors was resounding throughout the country, but after all, a hundred years have passed. Now, except for those in the circle, who knows about it?
Without a reputation, how can you recruit students? Moreover, there are regular sports schools in the local area that also teach martial arts. Many parents would rather choose such regular schools with diplomas even if they send their children to practice martial arts.
So all along, the dream of a martial arts school could only remain in the hearts of the Cheng family, but it could never become a reality.
But now it is different. With Nie Wei's support, there is not only money, but also a larger market. The most important thing is that with Nie Wei's help in publicity, the Cheng family's reputation has risen again. With a reputation, why worry about no disciples coming to the door?
The old man has calculated that there are no less than a hundred people who have gone to his hometown to learn from him. In the old days, a martial artist could have hundreds of disciples, and basically he would not have to worry about food and drink, and the martial arts school could naturally operate smoothly and healthily.
Cheng Ziguo took the key to open the door, and the moment he pushed the door open, he was immediately stunned by the items inside.
It's not that there are any treasures hidden inside, but the rows of training clothes printed with the word Cheng, and the equipment printed with the word Cheng logo, which made Cheng Ziguo feel like he had returned to the dream he once desired most.
I don't know how many times he dreamed of seeing such a scene in front of him.
He wanted to see hundreds of apprentices wearing training clothes with their family names printed on them learning Cheng-style Baguazhang in the martial arts field, and he would teach these students with all his heart, and the reputation of the Cheng family would rise again in his hands.
And now that such a scene appeared in reality, he suddenly felt like he was dreaming again.
At this moment, Mr. Cheng also saw the things in the warehouse. The black training clothes hanging one by one, as well as the equipment, and the word "Cheng" printed on them made the old man's eyes wet.
Walking, the old man walked into the warehouse, touched the training clothes, bent down and touched the equipment on the ground, and finally straightened up and walked towards Nie Wei again.
"Master Nie, you are thoughtful." What surprised Nie Wei was that the old man who walked up to him actually bent down and bowed to thank him, which scared Nie Wei, and he quickly stepped aside half of his body, not daring to accept such a great gift from the old man.
"Grandpa, this is what I should do. If you are willing to lead the martial arts school with the brothers, I will certainly do the logistics work for you."
"Thank you." The old man thanked Nie Wei again, because he knew very well that without Nie Wei, even if Baguazhang became popular, his dream of a martial arts school might not be realized.
"Brother Nie, can we change into training clothes now?" Cheng Zijun, who was looking at the training clothes in the house, suddenly asked Nie Wei. Including Cheng Ziguo and Cheng Ziwu, they all looked at Nie Wei expectantly.
"Of course." Nie Wei nodded and agreed, then looked at Cheng Zimo on the side and asked, "Aren't you going to change?"
"No, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Cheng Zimo smiled and shook his head and replied.
At this time, Cheng Zimo was wearing a suit, because as Nie Wei's personal bodyguard, he must always pay attention to his image when he is outside, because his image also represents Nie Wei's face, so when he heard that he had to change clothes, Cheng Zimo subconsciously chose to refuse.
But when he looked at those training clothes, the desire in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Go change. There's no one here, so you don't need to wear a suit all the time." Nie Yi saw through Cheng Zimo's thoughts at a glance and persuaded him with a smile.
Hearing this, Cheng Zimo stopped insisting and ran to ask Luo Kai for a suitable training suit.
Five minutes later, including Mr. Cheng, all the Cheng family members changed into training suits. Cheng Ziwu's wife even took out her mobile phone to take a few photos of them.
The Cheng family members who put on training suits were very excited.
The second floor is about 1,300 square meters. This floor is dedicated to super VIP customers, so there is no super large martial arts training ground like the first floor. Instead, it is divided into several VIP small martial arts training grounds similar to the size of a trainee dance studio. At that time, there will be special masters to provide one-on-one guidance to these big customers.
In addition, there is a fighting ring on the second floor. Learning martial arts naturally requires fighting, especially Chinese martial arts. You can't understand the principles of many things without doing it. People who come here obviously don't want to learn martial arts for health preservation, so fighting methods must be taught.
And this ring is specially used for students to compete.
Shower rooms and leisure rooms are naturally fully equipped. Looking at the martial arts hall with such exquisite decoration and complete equipment, the Cheng family is just like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden. The conditions are far beyond their imagination.
After visiting the second floor, the group finally came to the living area on the third floor, which is also where they will stay in the future.
Two hundred square meters of living space is enough for the people of the Cheng family. Although this is a living area that is not open to the public, Nie Wei, who has received the favor of Mr. Cheng, will naturally not treat the Cheng family badly. All the decoration standards of the accommodation area here are made according to the VIP decoration standards of the second floor.
Coupled with a variety of advanced and complete electrical appliances, the accommodation conditions are two or three levels higher than the old house of the Cheng family.
"What is this?"
"A coffee machine. I'll teach you how to use it. You can make handmade coffee for your family in the morning."
"Oh, this refrigerator actually has a screen."
"Well, this is a smart refrigerator. This screen is actually a simple computer that can be connected to a wireless network. You can check a recipe or record some dietary rules."
"Wow, a super large color TV. How big is it?"
"Haha, this LCD TV is 65 inches. Each of your bedrooms is also equipped with a 43-inch LCD TV. Satellite live broadcasts have been opened. Basically, all channels in the country can be received, and even some foreign channels are available. There are also benefits in the evening..."
"Ahem." Nie Wei coughed twice and stopped Luo Kai, the old driver, from driving.
This guy doesn't even consider the occasion. Does he talk about these things with children?
The adults in the Cheng family obviously heard the meaning of Luo Kai's subtext, and they blushed immediately. Several parents have already made a decision in secret that they must not let their children watch TV at night and must go to bed early.
"Wow, computer!" Suddenly, a burst of exclamations came from a bedroom. A few seconds later, Cheng Fang and Cheng Hua ran out excitedly.
"Brother Nie Wei, is the computer for us?" Cheng Hua looked at Nie Wei and asked expectantly.
"Of course it's for you." Nie Wei smiled and rubbed the boy's head and replied.
"Wow!" With an excited cheer, Cheng Hua ran back to the bedroom and asked Cheng Ziguo to scold the child loudly for being rude. Unfortunately, now it is obvious that no one cares about his few innocuous scoldings.
Before Cheng Ziguo even finished his words, Cheng Hua and Cheng Fang were already shouting in the bedroom.
"This computer boots up so fast!"
"It's much faster than the computer I used in the Internet cafe, and the mouse and keyboard are super nice."
"Great!"
"Get out of the way, let me play."
Hearing the noise of the children, Cheng Ziguo's face turned red, and he said to Nie Wei embarrassedly: "Brother Nie, move the computer away later, don't let the children break such a valuable thing."
Hearing Cheng Ziguo's words, Nie Wei was amused, just patted his shoulder, and was about to say something to persuade Cheng Ziguo not to be stubborn, but the phone in Nie Wei's pocket rang.
"Miss Zhang?" Nie Wei answered the phone and greeted.
"Mr. Nie, are you free recently? Please come out for dinner." After a round of greetings, Zhang Ziyi on the other end of the phone once again invited Nie Wei. This was her third invitation this month.
Zhang Ziyi felt that her patience was almost worn out. This call was the last one she decided to make. If Nie Wei rejected her again, it would be fine.
She had been prepared to be rejected again, but Nie Wei on the other end of the phone was relenting this time.
"Okay, Miss Zhang, you decide the location." Nie Wei held the phone, looked at the people of the Cheng family, and replied with a smile.
