Chapter 88. The Christmas War Is Coming Soon

During the break before the Christmas war, he bought an idle warehouse next door to Liu Ren's house. By the way, he also bought the land. The yard began to expand. He planned to convert the warehouse into an indoor basketball court, and the yard was also expanded by the way.

Liu Ren has always felt that there is only an outdoor basketball court in the backyard at home, which is inconvenient when it rains. He has to go to the Toyota Center if he wants to train during the rest time. Recently, Chen Hanni and Monica are very busy, and he occasionally meets the little When Luoli is on vacation, she has to be responsible for helping to take the little girl, and it is too troublesome to go to the arena. When meeting acquaintances, she has to explain that this is not her daughter.

When Liu Ren went to Kobe's house to play again on the second day of the holiday, he saw a large garden in the backyard of Kobe's house, and in the middle of the garden was a basketball court comparable to that of an American middle school, and he lamented the corruption of capitalism. There are even stands on the second floor in that basketball gymnasium. The Christmas bathroom, video room, and locker room on the second floor are all available. In addition to a standard basketball court on the ground floor, there is also a rest area separated by tempered glass. In the rest area It's a sofa, a TV, and a bar, where there are all kinds of expensive red wine, a snooker table, and some leisure toys that Liu Ren doesn't know.

After seeing the corruption of capitalism, Liu Ren despised Kobe's extravagant behavior of practicing basketball, and decided to go home and fix it himself.

Of course, Liu Ren would not be so extravagant as to build a Kobe’s house. It happened that the warehouse next door to his house was idle. Liu Ren contacted the owner of the warehouse. It was used to store building materials when building Liu Ren's villa.It was originally planned to be demolished and turned into a lawn, but for some reason, the construction was not started, and it has been left until now.

Liu Ren spent 1 U.S. dollars to buy the ownership of this piece of land. The ownership of this land is actually still owned by the government. As for the warehouse, it was given to Liu Ren by the builder.

The land in the United States is really cheap. This land of nearly 1 square meters is only [-] dollars.

But after the building is completed, people from the tax bureau will come to evaluate the value, and then collect property tax every year. If you buy land but do not build things, do not farm, do not plant trees, or do nothing, you will be fined.

The owner of that warehouse had to pay thousands of dollars in taxes for this idle warehouse every year, so he gave it to Liu Ren directly without taking any money. Thousands of dollars are also money!Tens of thousands have passed in the past ten years.

Liu Ren asked the designer of the construction company to take a look. The quality of this warehouse is so good that it can be directly converted into an indoor basketball court. Outside the court, he plans to build a big garden like Kobe’s house. and basketball court added to the current yard.

The good thing is the reconstruction, otherwise it would have taken several months. The current estimated construction period is one month. The contract signed by Liu Ren and the construction company is on February 2th, and the project will be delivered before the All-Star weekend holiday.

Liu Ren didn't plan to tear down the existing wall, but a gate would be built in the direction of the garden and an entrance would be enough.

The warehouse occupies more than half of the land, a full 600 square meters. After all, there were a lot of building materials when the villa was built.

The renovation is more about the modification of the appearance and the layout of the sewer pipes. Inside, it is only necessary to install a basketball hoop, lay the floor, install tempered glass, and use the separated space to create several rooms as dressing rooms, bathrooms and rest areas. alright.

However, although the reconstruction cost is only 50 dollars, the best basketball stand costs 3 dollars, and the other building materials add up to only 20 dollars, which means half of it is labor costs.Moreover, after the completion of construction, the estimated value will not be less than 200 million, and the property tax will be close to 3 US dollars every year, and the garden is estimated to have to pay [-] US dollars in tax.

Chen Hanni was very dissatisfied with Liu Ren's jealousy of Kobe's training room, and she nodded in satisfaction until Liu Ren promised to add a swing and a small pavilion for reading and resting in the garden.

After the down payment of 30 dollars was paid to the construction company, the rich and efficient Yankee started to act. The plan was to transport a large pile of construction materials to the warehouse and start to remodel the appearance of the warehouse and expand the wall , then the construction of drainage pipes, followed by the arrangement of gardens, small pavilions, water pipes, power settings, etc., and finally the interior of the stadium.

Liu Ren doesn't know much about these architectural things, so let the professionals do it. He will never give directions in areas he doesn't understand, just like he doesn't understand how an agent should think about problems, and he won't go blind Do the same.

Just like signing a contract with an endorsement company, Chen Hanni will never accept those endorsements for daily necessities for him. Although that kind of endorsement is easy, some even don’t need to be photographed for advertisements. If there is any problem, the spokesperson will be blamed, and the things that are eaten and used in this world are too prone to problems, especially in China.

Chen Hanni has already rejected the endorsement of dozens of expensive domestic household products.

Liu Ren didn't understand why giving up the money, which adds up to millions of dollars, is basically equivalent to taking it for nothing. After listening to Chen Hanni's analysis, he resolutely chose not to intervene in this aspect in the future. Chen Hanni is also very satisfied with Liu Ren's decentralization.

During the two days when Liu Ren and the construction company were talking about remodeling, the Los Angeles locals were getting more and more excited about the upcoming Christmas game between the Lakers and the defending champion Miami Heat.

The Miami Heat have a full lineup this year. Wade returned after being injured for more than ten games in the first month. He was not in good shape at the beginning, causing the Heat to lose several games. However, as the season progressed, Wade's state became better and better. It also stabilized, ranking second in the East.James has always maintained a comprehensive data of 27+6+6 per game, Bosh's average of 16+8 per game is still stable, Ray Allen is still strong and averages 10 points per game, and is still the most terrifying pinch point outside the three-point line. Championship favorite.

The Lakers also received good news. Gasol has returned from injury and started training with Nash!

Gasol's return undoubtedly gave the Lakers fans a boost. Now the Lakers' offense is really unwatchable. Liu Ren represents the whole team alone. Although he had many assists in the previous games, they can only be used for small-scale cooperation. Organizing the offense is limited to the teammates he can see, that is, a maximum of three people can cooperate, and it is too easy to limit after the opponent is familiar with them.

It’s different with Gasol. Gasol’s vision and overall view rank among the top three insiders in the entire league. Except for Duncan and Gasol Jr., basically no insider can compare with him. With him mobilized Teammates cooperate with Liu Ren's offense, and the Lakers' offense will definitely improve a lot.
