At the beginning of the new year, Zhou Qi sent New Year greetings to fans on social platforms. However, some fans' messages caused Zhou Qi's dissatisfaction. One of the messages once again mentioned the matter of real estate that Zhou Qi received when he joined the Xinjiang team. In the face of doubts, Zhou Qi also fought back very strongly and made it very clear that he had not obtained any real estate. In fact, Zhou Qi and his wife Wang Xinyi had been renting a house while playing for the Xinjiang team, and they did not buy a house in Urumqi. In 2021, when Zhou Qi had no hope of playing in the domestic league, he went to play in the Australian league. After Zhou Qi left, the house the two rented for more than 4 years in Urumqi was sold by the landlord. Wang Xinyi, who lived alone, was also asked to move as soon as possible. In the end, Wang Xinyi could only find a new house and move alone. This shows that Zhou Qi did not join Xinjiang for real estate.
This season is Zhou Qi’s second season in the Australian league. However, as the number one insider in the domestic basketball world, he is not taken seriously abroad. It is naturally difficult for Zhou Qi to maintain a strong competitive state due to lack of games. The reason for this dilemma is that Zhou Qi cannot play in the domestic league. The Xinjiang team, which has the priority to renew the contract, will not let Zhou Qi leave the team in vain without receiving the corresponding transfer fee. Zhou Qi's strength is obvious to all. In addition, after Zhou Qi broke up with the Xinjiang team, the Xinjiang team was at the focus of public opinion, so Zhou Qi's transfer fee will naturally not be low. The competition system for several consecutive seasons has also caused the income of major clubs to plummet. Except for the wealthy Shanghai team, I am afraid that no club can afford the transfer fee of hundreds of millions of yuan.
Now Zhou Qi is about to turn 27 and is in the prime period of his career. If he cannot return to China to play in the next 2-3 years, Zhou Qi's personal prospects will be greatly reduced. In fact, the crux of Zhou Qi's problem is difficult to achieve in the short term by changing the rules. As we all know, the priority renewal right does more harm than good to players, but it ensures that the status quo of the club's youth training talent training can be maintained. Therefore, it is impossible for the Basketball Association to break this rule for Zhou Qi. Otherwise, more players will come out to challenge the club in the future, resulting in a continuous reduction in the club's investment in youth training camps. This will undoubtedly make the development of domestic basketball worse. Therefore, Zhou Qi and the Xinjiang team need to go through further negotiations between the two parties, and the Xinjiang team must receive a large transfer fee before releasing the transfer.
In addition, when Zhou Qi went to play for the Australian League, his stewardess wife Wang Xinyi was unable to go with him because she was pregnant. After that, Wang Xinyi also moved to Qingdao . Last year, Wang Xinyi also quietly gave birth to a tiger cub. However, Zhou Qi has been participating in competitions away from home for a long time, resulting in very little time to return home to reunite with his family throughout the year. Wang Xinyi is 6 years older than Zhou Qi. The two got married in 2018, and their relationship has been very stable since their marriage.
