On the plane flying to Los Angeles, Wu Jianye smiled and said to Wang Zhizhi, who was a little uncomfortable beside him.
When the time entered mid-August, Wang Zhizhi ended all his domestic affairs, including two advertisements for Luck Sports and Hanshui Beverage.
We are officially on the plane to Los Angeles!
Traveling with him were Wang Zhizhi’s parents and Mayo, as well as the Lakers’ negotiation team!
As for Wu Jianye, he went to Los Angeles to deal with some matters related to Phantom Media. At the same time, he welcomed Wang Zhizhi as the boss and brought Zhu Xie and others back to China!
As for what Wu Jianye told Wang Zhizhi, it was because the media also knew the news that Wang Zhizhi was going to Los Angeles today, so they all stopped at the airport to conduct a final interview with Wang Zhizhi.
The huge array of reporters made Wang Zhizhi a little uncomfortable!
Wu Jianye walked in early to avoid being harassed by reporters.
"Well, Director Wu, I have to trouble you to send me there in person this time. Thank you very much!" Wang Zhizhi thanked him again.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I have to go over and deal with some other things anyway."
"Anyway, I have to thank you, Director Wu, for this matter this time!" Ren Huanzhen said from the other side of the aisle of the plane.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Dazhi, when you get to the Lakers, you can't be so shy. The people there pay attention to showing off your personality. If you have such a personality, those people will target you!"
When Wang Zhizhi heard what Wu Jianye said, he couldn't help but become a little nervous again.
Regarding Wang Zhizhi's character, Wu Jianye had no choice but to persuade him. After all, a person's character cannot be changed just by others telling him to change it.
Only after experiencing a lot of beatings will Wang Zhizhi's character truly mature.
"Take a good rest, it will be a long time before we get to Los Angeles!"
After saying that, Wu Jianye began to close his eyes and rest his mind!
...
The plane moved slowly on the airport tarmac until it was completely parked. After the captain made the announcement, everyone got up and walked out of the cabin, got their luggage, and when they walked to the airport lobby, they saw people picking up the plane.
Someone is already holding a sign for Wang Zhizhi!
This is the Lakers coming to pick up Wang Zhizhi!
In the airport lobby, Wu Jianye said to Wang Zhizhi's family: "The team has arranged accommodation with you. Someone will take you to your current place to get familiar with it. Tomorrow, I will take you to the team again!"
Wang Zhizhi's family once again expressed their gratitude to Wu Jianye.
If it weren't for the training fee paid to the Bayi Team, Wang Zhizhi's family would be able to rent a house in Los Angeles. After all, Luck Sports and Sweat Drinks also paid a lot of advertising fees to Wang Zhizhi.
However, after paying the Bayi team's training fee, it was a bit difficult for Wang Zhizhi's family to build a more decent house in Los Angeles.
So the team first rented a house to Wang Zhizhi, which was a typical American two-story villa. However, the rent was not for free, but would be deducted from Wang Zhizhi's annual salary.
The NBA has its own salary payment mechanism.
First of all, when a player signs with a certain team, he has two sources of funds, one is the signing fee, and the other is his own salary!
The signing fee is a one-time deal. Needless to say, it basically ranges from 10% to 15% of the player's annual salary!
As for annual salary, although everyone is willing to say annual salary, in fact most players receive monthly salary or half-monthly salary!
For example, a player's annual salary is 1 million. After signing the contract, the team will pay the player's salary for that month on the 1st or 15th of each month. In some cases, it will be paid twice a month, which means that one month's salary will be paid in two installments.
.
This is why there are so many fines in the NBA, and these fines are actually deducted from the players' salaries.
Nowadays, the salary in NBA has not risen to the level of horror in later generations. In this era, there is only one person with an annual salary of more than 10 million, and that is Magic Johnson, who has made a simple comeback.
Although Magic did not play in the game last year, the Lakers still paid Magic Johnson an annual salary of 14 million, which is already the highest-paid player in the NBA today.
Although Wu Jianye had known about Magic Johnson's situation for a long time, he still agreed to the price given by the team management. In fact, it was to show the humane side of the Lakers.
Although everyone knows that the NBA is a business league, the more so, the more precious it becomes if there is a team that is a little bit more humane!
During this period, the real main force in attracting money is the league's centers. Last season, there were 75 players in the entire league with an annual salary of more than 1 million, and among them, nine centers had an annual salary of more than 2 million.
Apart from Magic Johnson, the person with the highest annual salary in the league last season was Patrick Ewing of the New York Knicks. He was the gorilla who later went to the Mosaic team to coach Chairman Yao, and was also the prototype of Akagi in "Slam Dunk"
, his annual salary is $9.4 million!
As for supernova O'Neal, his annual salary is only US$5.7 million.
Everyone knows that the NBA is not the most popular league in North America, but it is undeniable that NBA players have the highest salary in North America. For example, last season, Ren Sandberg, who had the highest salary in the North American Baseball League,
The annual salary is only 7 million.
As for the salary of rugby league players, it is even lower, which is why next year, Iverson will choose to join the NBA instead of the NFL.
In an era when the average annual salary of players has not exceeded 10 million US dollars, when Michael Jordan negotiated his first annual salary after his comeback, the Bulls offered Michael Jordan an annual salary of 30.14 million US dollars. Everyone should know that this is something
What a crazy thing.
At the time, the New York Times commented on the deal: 30 points, or 30 million, Jordan would be on the same page.
As for Wang Zhizhi, although Wu Jianye is very optimistic about him, the Lakers also have their own salary system. Even Wu Jianye cannot give Wang Zhizhi an annual salary that is too high, but gives him an annual salary that is slightly lower than the middle class, and at the same time
Slightly higher than the rookie class’s annual salary of $750,000!
This amount of money seems to be quite good for Wang Zhizhi, who has just gone abroad, but in fact this does not include Los Angeles’ taxes on players!
As a major tax state in North America, California also imposes very heavy taxes on NBA players, as high as 49%.
In other words, Wang Zhizhi’s actual salary was only US$382,500!
Of course, this salary is already higher than the salary of many ordinary people in North America!
For Wang Zhizhi, if he can manage his image well, in fact, the real bulk of his income in the future will not be the team's salary, but the advertisements he endorses!
Anyway, after Wang Zhizhi officially signs a contract with the Lakers tomorrow, the funds for renting a house can be directly returned to the team. At the same time, their family of three's life in the Los Angeles Lakers will also be guaranteed.
After everyone walked out of the airport hall, a special car took Wang Zhizhi's family of three and Mayo to their rented house, and everyone else went home on their own.
Wu Jianye and Dai Zhen also took the car directly back to Beverly Hills Manor.
After arriving at the manor, Wu Jianye saw Zhu Yan, Li Xiuming, and Liu Xiaoli sitting in the garden chatting, while the four children were having fun and having fun.
Of course Wu Luoxin, Liu Yifei and Zhao Ling'er are happy, but Wu Nianyi is worried!
For Wu Luoxin, Wu Nianyi never had any good solutions and was always beaten to death. With Zhao Ling'er and Liu Yifei helping him, Wu Nianyi was almost always bullied.
The same is true at this time.
Zhao Linger has been sent to North America by Zhao Lei and has been living in Beverly Hills Manor.
Wu Jianye rubbed his head that had turned into a chicken coop and said to Wu Nianyi: "Are you being bullied again?"
Wu Nianyi smiled and didn't care, and said: "No, I am playing with them. My mother told me that I am an older brother and I have to take care of my younger siblings!"
Wu Jianye happily praised: "Yes, that's how you should be as a brother. It's your responsibility to take care of your younger brothers and sisters!"
Wu Nianyi nodded heavily.
When Wu Luoxin saw that Wu Jianye was busy talking to Wu Nianyi, he jumped directly into Wu Jianye's arms and declared his sovereignty!
Wu Jianye laughed and hugged Wu Luoxin.
Several people came to the garden together, and Wu Jianye put Wu Luoxin down. The three children ran over. Liu Xiaoli smiled and thanked Wu Jianye for hosting their mother and daughter this time.
Wu Jianye said that Liu Xiaoli was too polite. After all, Liu Yifei was holding the hand between the two parties now!
Zhu Xian and Li Xiuming briefly asked about Wu Jianye's visit to Los Angeles. They had only received a call from Wu Jianye and knew he was coming to Los Angeles, but they didn't know why he came.
When he heard that Wu Jianye had brought Wang Zhizhi to Los Angeles this time, he asked if he would like to invite their family over in the evening.
Chinese people attach great importance to the plot of their hometown, especially in such a foreign country. Therefore, even if they have no relationship with Wang Zhizhi's family, they are impressed when they hear that Wu Jianye can come to Los Angeles with them.
The idea of them coming over for dinner.
Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "No, I believe there will be a lot of things to keep their family busy today, so we don't need to worry about them!"
Moreover, with Mayo as an agent around Wang Zhizhi’s family, there will be no problem!
In the coming days, the Lakers will also find a full-time translator for Wang Zhizhi. According to Wu Jianye's idea, they want to find him a Chinese translator who has gone to school in Los Angeles or has stayed in Los Angeles and is familiar with basketball terminology. However,
Such people are not easy to find.
So we can only recruit slowly!
In the evening, Wu Jianye and Li Xiuming chatted.
"Did anyone harass Xinxin during this period?"
What Wu Jianye is asking about is the harassment of reporters. In North America, a place where the media industry is extremely developed, even Wu Jianye cannot protect Li Xiuming and his daughter the same way he protected Gong Ying and his son in Xiangjiang. Therefore, Wu Luoxin’s identity
It was quickly confirmed, so Wu Jianye was a little worried about Wu Luoxin's daily life.
This is the only sequelae after Wu Jianye gave Phantom Media to Wu Luoxin.
During this time, Wu Jianye even thought about sending Wu Luoxin to Luoshi Academy in Switzerland if it didn't work out.
As the world's number one aristocratic college, Rose College has been the most favored aristocratic college by the world's top wealthy families since its establishment in 1880. It is also known as the 'cradle of kings'.
For example, the kings of Iran, Egypt, Belgium, and the princes of Monaco have made Rose High School a must-have for the royal family and nobles when they go out to say hello.
Luoshi has always pursued "diversity". It stipulates that students from each country cannot exceed 10% of the total number of students. Students come from more than 60 countries, making it a true international school.
In addition to princes and nobles, there are also "successors" from all over the world and from all walks of life.
For example, the Middle East oil tycoon, the Greek shipping tycoon, the Spanish banking family, the American tobacco giant, the RB manufacturing consortium...
The only thing they have in common is that they are all either rich or noble, and represent the most prominent small group of people on the entire planet.
By the way, Michael Kadoorie, the owner of Hong Kong's largest hotel group, the Peninsula Hotel, graduated from Rose College.
If Wu Luoxin is sent here, her safety here can at least be guaranteed.
"It's okay, but when I go out, there are always some reporters following me to take pictures. Although the bodyguards can protect Xinxin's safety, they can't stop the reporters from taking secret photos!"
As the youngest richest woman in the world, Wu Luoxin already has a net worth of tens of billions of dollars at the age of less than ten years old. Wu Jianye naturally wants to place more bodyguards around her!
After hearing what Li Xiuming said, Wu Jianye's thoughts became even more determined.
"I think it's better to transfer Xinxin to..." Wu Jianye then expressed his thoughts.
When Li Xiuming heard that Wu Luoxin was going to study at Luoshi College in Switzerland, he was naturally reluctant to leave. He looked at Li Xiuming's expression.
Wu Jianye said: "Of course, you still have the final say on this matter. You should think about it first!"
Li Xiuming nodded, and began to feel entangled in his heart. On the one hand, he hoped that Wu Luoxin could receive the best education, but on the other hand, he was reluctant to let Wu Luoxin leave him at such a young age.
"Let me discuss it with Xinxin!" Li Xiuming finally said.
Wu Jianye naturally has no objection to this. The best education can certainly give children a better future, but Wu Jianye believes that with his current power, all the so-called best education is nothing more than icing on the cake. He just
I didn't want Wu Luoxin to live in the spotlight so early, so I came up with this idea.
Li Xiuming said: "I heard that the entrance examination at Luoshi College is very strict?"
As the top aristocratic school in the world, Rose Academy has very strict admission requirements. However, none of this is difficult for Wu Jianye. No matter what kind of things in this world, there are privileges!
The most important thing for Wu Jianye now is actually whether Wu Luoxin is willing to go, not anything else!
