【Chapter 1082】 Journey of the Soul (Happy Mother's Day!)
PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
The game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers ended in a victory for the Lakers, which somewhat disappointed James, even if Kobe Bryant retired, the Cavaliers still couldn't beat fate.
Although it was a preseason, the Cavaliers did not go all out, and the Lakers did not fire all their firepower, and the victory or defeat between the two sides truly reflected the difference in strength on the court.
Kobe's retirement did not make the Lakers' strength drop significantly, and other players except Xiao Feng were also the choice of the NBA, and the lineup composed of them did not fall behind in the confrontation with the Cavaliers. What makes James desperate is that Xiao Feng only played 30 minutes, which is in stark contrast to the usual 40+ playing time, which shows that the potential of the Lakers is not weak.
After the game, various sports media and industry insiders believed that the strength of the Lakers was still ranked first in the NBA league, and without him, Xiao Feng's existence was the biggest bug. As for the Lakers' rookie Zhou Qi, professionals believe that he has adapted well to the rhythm and physical confrontation of the NBA, scoring a double-double in the first preseason game and has a bright future.
Of course, whether the Lakers can achieve three consecutive championships remains to be seen!
…………
Neither the winning Lakers nor the losing Cavaliers have time to linger as they face their respective opponents in Peking and Haizhou in two days for their second preseason games.
As a result, both teams left 'Ginkgo Village' on the morning of the 3rd on an early flight to prepare for the next match.
For professional footballers, winning or losing has long been a part of life, and trapeze is the norm for them.
Don't look at their annual income of millions or even tens of millions of dollars, but in the long season. They have to deal with tough competition, the threat of injuries and all kinds of pressure, and it's not an easy job.
Only a good player with a strong body, a huge heart, and a cool head can make it out of this competitive league and become a basketball superstar.
From now on, flying from city to city every day will be the main theme of every NBA player for the next 8/9 months, and it will be a happy and arduous journey.
…………
The team flew to Peking to prepare for the next preseason game. Xiao Feng did not appear on the flight, because he had to stay in the 'Ginkgo Village' to entertain many friends who had come from afar.
The outcome of the preseason game does not matter, and the core main force like Xiao Feng may not necessarily be on it, so in the pre-publicity Xiao Feng will not appear in the game between Peking and Thunder at all, this is the planned arrangement.
For Chinese fans, although they can't witness Xiao Feng's wonderful performance at Wukesong Basketball Stadium, they are already satisfied to be able to see the UAE, Jeremy Lin, Zhou Qi, and Wei Shao and Durant on the Thunder's side.
…………
This time, many of the guests who came to cheer were coming to Ginkgo Village for the first time. As the owner, Xiao Feng naturally wants to be a good receptionist and fulfill the friendship of the landlord.
In autumn, the 'Ginkgo Village' not only has the most beautiful scenery, but also has a pleasant harvest scene, so Xiao Feng does not have to worry about the lack of reception.
This time, in addition to receiving guests, Xiao Feng also held a 'Ginkgo Night' to raise funds for the treatment of children with thalassemia and leukemia in China. Therefore, it is not lazy for him to stay in 'Ginkgo Village'.
Last year, the 'Ginkgo Foundation' was a fundraiser held at 'Dream Manor', and this year it was moved to 'Ginkgo Village'. It is also in line with the original purpose of this foundation, which is to help more disadvantaged groups in China, as well as to promote the 'Ginkgo Village' itself.
Today, the Ginkgo Foundation has become the largest and most influential non-governmental charity in China, spending more than 5 billion RMB in 2016 alone to help millions of people solve practical difficulties. And lead them to a new life.
In the hearts of countless Chinese people, the 'Ginkgo Foundation' has replaced some public institutions and has become the most authoritative, open and transparent charity in China, so the Foundation's various actions across the country have been widely supported.
For example, Jinghu Dairy provides infant milk powder to 300,000 needy families every month. It has been greatly supported by local women's federations, media, family planning commissions and volunteers, who have given great convenience in the selection of assisted families, the distribution of milk powder, the replacement of quotas, and the supervision of public opinion. If the 'Ginkgo Foundation' is allowed to do all this work, I am afraid that every staff member will not be able to do it with three heads and six arms.
Like this time, the 'Ginkgo Foundation' plans to raise funds for the treatment of children with thalassemia and acute leukemia in China, and the national medical system and other departments have taken urgent action to send the information of eligible children to the 'Ginkgo Foundation' for review after screening, and the major media are also following up the process of data review at any time to ensure that the entire project is open and fair, and the funds are used for the children who need it most.
Xiao Feng knows that charity is not the business of a certain organization or a certain person, and the whole society must be mobilized to help more people, so he is sparing no effort to expand the influence and popularity of the 'Ginkgo Foundation'.
This time, the preseason game was held in 'Ginkgo Village', in order to allow the parents and villagers to see the NBA's top matchups at their doorstep, and another reason was to hold the 'Ginkgo Night'.
The previous 'Ginkgo Night' held in 'Ginkgo Village' was small in scale, and the celebrities and rich people who participated were only members of Chinese nationality, and their international influence was too small. This time, when the pre-season is held and VIPs from all over the world gather, the 'Ginkgo Night' can maximize Xiao Feng's connections and raise more funds for more children.
In order to make the guests pay out of their pockets with satisfaction, Xiao Feng, the host, naturally has to do a good job of accompanying him in the past two days, and it doesn't matter if he misses one or two preseason games.
…………
On the morning of the 3rd, after sending the team to the 'Nini' to Peking to participate in the second pre-season game, Xiao Feng personally drove the electric car team to the 'Jinghu Hotel' to pick up the guests.
Today, guests from all over the world who enjoy horseback riding and outdoor sports will accompany Xiao Feng to visit the 'Mirror Lake Ranch'. Experience what it's like to ride a horse in the highlands. For today's reception, Xiao Feng asked the horse farm to prepare no less than 50 trained quarte horses or American flower horses a month ago, waiting for the guests to choose.
As the origin of the 'Mirror Lake Group', 'Mirror Lake Ranch' has a very special position in the hearts of everyone in the outside world, full of mystery. People who are familiar with the rise of 'Jinghu Group' know that the top milk produced by 'Jinghu Ranch' is the most important raw material of 'Jinghu Dairy'. It can be regarded as the foundation of the entire group.
In normal times, the 'Jinghu Ranch' will also open a limited part of the grassland to tourists, camping, grass skiing, hot air ballooning, paramotor activities, etc., but the core part of the ranch is inaccessible to the outside world.
Therefore, today Xiao Feng is going to take the guests into the ranch for horseback riding, hunting and camping, and everyone is full of expectations.
…………
From the 'Mirror Lake Hotel', a road dedicated to electric vehicles was built between the picturesque attractions, so that all the guests could not stop their cameras and mobile phones at all. In particular, there is a 500-meter stretch of road that is built in the middle of a dense ginkgo forest, and the foliage that shades the sky and the sun are tangled in the air. A fantastic ginkgo tunnel is formed.
As the motorrad passed by, rolled ginkgo biloba leaves and leaves falling from the sky flew all over the sky, creating a scene that only a movie would have seen, and everyone was amazed.
This ginkgo tunnel is now also a very famous attraction in the entire 'Mirror Lake Scenic Area', and it has become a favorite place for tourists to take pictures, along with several other attractions such as the 'Flower Corridor' and the Lake View Waterway.
After passing through the Ginkgo Tunnel, people are greeted by the rippling blue waves of the Mirror Lake, and the sunlight from the sky pours on the surface of the lake. The shimmering waves are like billions of gold coins jumping.
Although everyone has seen various promotional photos of 'Jinghu Scenic Area' on the computer. But witnessing these dreamlike scenery with their own eyes still shocked them somewhat.
The golden ginkgo forest, the tourmaline-like mirror lake, and the snow-capped mountains, white clouds, and blue sky in the distance make for a perfect realist oil painting that people can't bear to destroy.
At this time, people realized how the 'Jinghu Scenic Area' achieved the feat of receiving more than 5 million people annually in just 8 years. It's these unique and stunning landscapes!
Walking through the painting-like village, Xiao Feng drove an electric car into the Jinghu Valley, which is the root of the 'Jinghu Group', a cornucopia!
At the entrance to the valley, one finds two distinct gates. The dazzlingly decorated sign that reads 'Ranch Experience Center' is probably a place where tourists usually play.
Although it is still only 8:30 in the morning, many tourists are already excited to enter the experience center, where they will spend an unforgettable 24 hours.
Among the services of the 'Mirror Lake Scenic Area', the 'Ranch Experience Center' can be regarded as a thriving project, with an average of more than 3,000 people pouring in every day.
Visitors can experience a variety of ranch life that cannot be experienced in the city in an area of more than 10 square kilometers, such as milking cows, feeding lambs, setting calves, riding horses, etc., as well as trying grass skiing, paragliding, hot air ballooning and other wonderful activities.
Of course, in order to enjoy so many projects and services, tourists need to pay a fee ranging from 2000-3000RMB, which can be regarded as a high-cost project of 'Jinghu Scenic Area'.
However, since the official opening of this 'ranch experience center', no tourist has ever felt that these services are not worth the price, on the contrary, they feel that the price offered by the 'Mirror Lake Company' is a conscience price.
Standing at the door, Xiao Feng introduced some information about the experience center to the guests, but today they didn't have to go to the experience center, but played inside the ranch to avoid the impact of ordinary tourists as much as possible.
You must know that in addition to super-rich people like George Morgan, there are also heavyweight stars such as Xiaobei, Tom Tom, Brother Chen Long, and Fa Ge, who may cause a siege if they are not careful.
Entering the ranch, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao respectively took the guests into the locker room to change the denim suits, there was already a hint on the previous activity schedule, most of the guests also brought their own equipment, even if a few did not bring it, Mark William can also be sent from the 'Ginkgo New District' within 20 minutes, which is also part of the butler service.
After changing clothes, everyone still needs to walk in the disinfection room, which is also the rule of 'Jinghu Ranch', even if Xiao Feng is the owner of the ranch.
For George and others, such strict rules make them very adaptable, and they also know that the rapid rise of the 'Jinghu Group' is inseparable from the strict rules and regulations within the group and the unparalleled execution.
Walking to the stable, dozens of tempered and brushed quarter horses and American flower horses are already waiting for the arrival of the guests, and the meticulous and thoughtful service makes people feel at home.
After tossing for more than half an hour, Xiao Feng and the guests finally got on their horses, and a group of people and horses left the stable and went to the depths of the pasture.
Behind the team, Mark William directed the staff to load all kinds of ingredients, picnic equipment, tents and other items, and then the convoy of seven or eight horse-drawn carriages slowly followed.
With so many rich and celebrities traveling, you can't expect them to act as baggage troops, and William's task is to transport these supplies to the predetermined camp, making the camping operation of Xiao Feng and others easier.
Without the burden of baggage, Xiao Feng and the guests are also quite comfortable, they can not only slow down and chat with friends around them, but also gallop across and enjoy the cool breeze blowing in front of them.
In October, the 'Jinghu Ranch' has begun to feel the strong autumn mood, the original green is now a little yellow, and the breeze blows like a large green carpet with yellow in the green.
Some of the pastures have been harvested, and the bales of hay are arranged in a neat and orderly manner like huge chess pieces, which looks spectacular.
In the distance, in the pasture that has not yet been harvested, a black and white Holstein cow is grazing leisurely, and some mischievous calves are running around in the middle of the herd, and then they are driven back to the herd by the shepherd dog and the cowboy.
The blue sky of Ginkgo Village is exceptionally clear and low, and it seems that you can reach under this pure sky, and the stress and troubles that you usually accumulate at work will disappear at once.
Accustomed to the deceit of the people in the city, when they first came to such an environment, everyone's heart seemed to be baptized and became much calmer.
Afterwards, many guests had to admit that the 'Mirror Lake Ranch' itself has a huge magical power, so that everyone who enters it has a reward, and it is worth the trip!
Perhaps, the power of the mind is unstoppable!
[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better!] (To be continued.) )
