"Okay, what kind of gambling method?" Tang Qian asked.
"What kind of bet is this? Let's bet on who can earn 100 million US dollars first. How about that? Do you dare?"
"What? Bill Sagat, this bet is unfair!" Taylor spoke before Tang Qian, saying: "You are already a professional player in the NFL, and you have signed a big rookie contract.
For $12 million in three years, this kind of bet is simply impossible for Tang!"
$12 million over 3 years?
Can an NFL rookie earn such a high salary?
Tang Qian was slightly shocked and said.
Of course, this is because Tang Qian does not understand the contract mechanism of the NFL. Although the Houston Texans offered Bill Sagat a seemingly high-dollar contract, those who are familiar with the NFL will understand that this $12 million,
Bill Sagat may not be able to get enough. Why? This has something to do with the NFL's player contract system. Before 1994, the NFL also had many large contracts with premium prices, but after 1994, the NFL began to
The hard salary cap, also known as Hardcap in English, is implemented. Starting from this year, the total annual player salary limit of any team cannot exceed the hard salary cap. This is obviously different from the NBA's soft salary cap system. No matter your team
Whether the owner has money and whether he is willing to pay the luxury tax, the salary of an NFL team cannot exceed this limit. But if you want to exploit the team players without limit, there is no way, because there is a ry.floor, the salary floor, which will protect it.
Players’ basic rights. So what does this have to do with Bill Sagat’s $12 million? It does, and it’s a big deal.
In order to enhance the team's strength and not exceed the league's hard salary cap limit, the NFL's team management and uniform staff have worked hard and racked their brains. In order to deal with the league's hard salary cap limit, the NFL's
Teams began to vigorously introduce strategies that combine guaranteed contracts with non-guaranteed contracts. Take Bill Sagat's three-year salary of US$12 million as an example. Different from the NBA's three-year US$12 million, the former's guaranteed salary is only US$700.
Around 10,000, and the remaining 5 million is non-guaranteed salary. If you want to get this part of non-guaranteed salary, you have to rely on Bill Sagat's own performance on the court.
And when we get here, it’s not over yet. Do you think you can get enough money once the guarantee part is finalized?
NoNoNo~
The salary of the guaranteed part is also subdivided into the fully guaranteed part and other guaranteed parts. What is the fully guaranteed part? The fully guaranteed part is basically similar to the NBA player contract. As long as you sign this contract, even if you play
If the season is reimbursed after one game, you can still get the full amount of the money. So what is the other guarantee part? After you sign the contract, you need to meet certain conditions in the contract. Only when these conditions are met,
Only then can you get this part of the guaranteed salary. But for NFL players, the most popular part is the Signing Bonus, which is the signing bonus. Because the signing bonus, as the name suggests, is what you can get as soon as you sign the contract.
Salary part. For example, in Bill Sagat's contract, his signing bonus is a full $2 million, which is also one of the fastest contract wages he can get.
As for the entire 12 million US dollars, due to the cruelty of competition in the NFL, the layoff rate in this league is much higher than that in the NBA. Once you are laid off by the team due to performance and other issues, let alone 12 million US dollars, even if it is the guaranteed part of 700
Whether you can get them all is a question. Of course, as the leader of the evil capitalism, the Americans also know that there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. If you are the absolute core of the team, then
The team can restructure your contract for you, and even give you a salary of one point and a signing bonus of nine points. But Bill Sagat can't even think about this kind of treatment now. He has not yet reached that level.
So although the price of Bill Sagat's contract is scary, in fact, if there are professionals present, his value will definitely be reduced by about half, turning it into an ordinary contract that no one cares about.
But Tang Qian had just come to the United States and didn't understand this at all, so when he heard about Bill Sagat's net worth, he was shocked and a little surprised.
Bill Sagat ignored Taylor's words, but stared at Tang Qian with his eyes and said: "How about it? Orientals, just tell me whether you dare or not!"
"Don, don't agree to him, he's already a little mentally disturbed! You don't need to care about this kind of bad bet." Taylor Swift was afraid that Tang Qian would be impulsive, so she quickly turned to Tang Qian to persuade him.
"Are you sure you want to bet like this?" Tang Qian smiled at Taylor next to him, then turned around and asked.
"Are you talking nonsense? I'm not sure why I brought it up? Stop stalling, just say bet or not bet!!!" Bill Sagat said aggressively, for someone who is still struggling in the NBDL.
In terms of "waste", he was absolutely confident that he would win with this one.
Let Tang Qian lose his "future"!!!
"Very good. Since you are so sincere, I will accept it." Tang Qian looked at Bill Sagat for a few seconds, then grinned.
This smile instantly made Bill Sagat feel uncomfortable.
He didn't understand where this Oriental man got his confidence and courage???
"Tang, you..."
"An Xin, for this kind of fat fly looking for trouble, I won't be able to relieve my anger if I don't just slap him against the wall." Seeing that Taylor wanted to say more, Tang Qian smiled slightly and said calmly: "Don't you believe in yourself?
Your male companion?"
After saying that, Tang Qian shouted loudly in all directions: "Ladies and gentlemen, please bear witness to the bet tonight for the two of us, so that in the future, no one will deliberately deny or deny it with shame.
"
"No problem, Oriental, I, Benedict Cumberbatch, am willing to be a witness for you!"
"I, Taylor Lautner, am also willing to help you bear witness!"
"Hi, how can such a fun thing be without me, Lady Gaga? Count me in!"
In an instant, the entire private hall became lively. Under Tang Qian's instigation, celebrities and celebrities began to voluntarily join this huge team of witnesses. And it could be roughly seen that most of the people present were vaguely supporting Tang Qian.
Dive here.
Sympathy for the weak is also a human nature in the United States where capitalism is corrupt. At least in their eyes, compared with Bill Sagat, Tang Qian, an Oriental, is obviously at a disadvantage and in an extremely passive position.
But even so, this Oriental man still bravely accepted the challenge and the bet. This courage and this scene cannot help but be experienced by people.
Maybe this scene wouldn't be anything if you put it in a movie that's all about fantasy.
However, in real life, that kind of stimulation and that sense instantly become unparalleled.
Countless celebrities were "YY" in their hearts. On the eve of the awards, the two athletes were tit for tat for Taylor Swift. They were so jealous that they even risked their respective sports careers and made crazy bets. If this kind of material is exposed, it will definitely be
The first choice headline for gossip and entertainment news. Maybe Vanity Fair will include it!
It's a pity that such a "big exclusive" cannot be made public.
Even if someone relents in the future and tells today's scene, people will only treat it as "unofficial gossip" and laugh at most, and not more than 10% of people will believe it. There is no other reason. In the entertainment industry, there are many kinds of gossip.
There are only a few, but half of CDs have not really happened. There is too much hype. Under this general trend, people will believe it without doubt, and then there is something wrong.
"Hmph, Oriental, you have talent, but unfortunately, having talent doesn't mean you can win! How can you, a 'waste' player who plays in the NBDL, compete with me? You will definitely regret this decision tonight, I promise!"
Tang Qian's reaction was obviously not in line with Bill Sagat's expectations. He originally thought that the other party would push back and make it difficult to step down, but he didn't know that Tang Qian actually agreed! In this way, even if Bill Sagat wanted to take it back
There is no way to take back any harsh words.
No, why should I take it back?
He agreed? Wouldn't that be better? Even though he seems to be quite brave now, when the result comes out, it will be his end!!!
Hmph!!! You are seeking death!!! Then you can’t blame me, Bill Sagat!!!
I will pay back the shame tonight doubled in the future!!!
"So what if I play NBDL? You don't care what I do. Anyway, in the end, it just depends on who can earn 100 million US dollars first. The rest is all nonsense." As for Bill Sagat, he wants to play big.
Then Tang Qian would naturally accompany him.
If I can't win against you despite being in a "different space", then I don't deserve to lose everything!!!
I, Tang Qian, took this bet!!!
"you……"
"Since you are so confident, how about we make a bigger bet. The losing team will not only retire from football, but also all the salary earned in their career will be at the disposal of the other party. How about that?" Bill Sagat said viciously.
said.
"You want to kill them all! But I agree, because I hate you too! I just hope you don't make too little by then, otherwise I won't get much money even if I win the bet!" Tang Qian
He counterattacked calmly, saying that he really felt disgusted with this Bill Sagat.
Aren't you going to push me into a desperate situation? Well, you just cut off my remaining compassion!
I, Tang Qian, promise to let you know what it means to be trapped in a cocoon!!!
"Okay, I don't want to hear another bird's talk from you. Do you still remember the match agreement we just made? The door is over there. It's easy to leave." Tang Qian saw that the fat dwarf was still talking nonsense, so he immediately said first.
"What? Do you have amnesia? Or do you want to keep the promise intact and get out of here???"
"You..." Since he lost the game, Bill Sagat didn't have much confidence to argue with Tang Qian. Just when he was furious, Justin Bieber pulled him and said: "Let's go, Bill
, we will get back double the amount of money we spent tonight!"
"Huh, let's go!" In fact, even if Justin Bieber didn't say anything, Bill Sagat didn't have the face to stay any longer. The former's words just gave him a step down. He opened his eyes wide and stared fiercely.
He glanced at Tang Qian for a moment, and then followed Justin Bieber into the private hall without looking back.
"Phew, okay, beautiful Ms. Taylor, I kept my word, the flies have been driven away." After seeing Bill and Justin both leaving the private hall, Tang Qian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Taylor Swift.
PS: In fact, the contract rules of the NFL are more than just that. In the entire competitive sports, its complexity and changeability are absolutely extremely rare. For example, the guarantee part also has provisions specifically for injuries and financial levels. In short
