I'm an NBA goalie

Chapter 22 Am I Really Not Rich?
After the contract was completed, Wang Dachun could finally feel a little more at ease. He signed a three-year contract with the team. At least his life was guaranteed for these three years. The big stone in his heart was finally removed. .

Little Nelson didn't expect the signing to be so smooth, and it was Wang Dachun who rushed to sign. He wanted to leave audio-visual materials when Wang Dachun signed, but he didn't expect Wang Dachun to sign so quickly, so he had to call an assistant, and let Wang Dachun sit down with the contract. At the desk, holding a pen in his right hand, he sat next to him and took a picture, which was going to be released on the Mavericks official website.

Then Nelson Jr. told Wang Dachun that he will hold a press conference for him next week, announcing to the media that the Dallas Mavericks have signed him, and will show his jersey and number at the same time, so that he can choose his own jersey number from the existing numbers as soon as possible.

Wang Dachun and Frank walked out of the arena. Wang Dachun looked at Frank who hadn't spoken for a long time and said:

"Man! What's wrong with you? You should be happy for me now, I've signed with the team."

Frank looked at Wang Dachun with the eyes of a resentful woman and said:
"Do you think it is necessary for me to exist as an economic man? I basically didn't even say a word when I signed a contract with you! I think you are ignoring my existence. You should at least reflect my value?

"Frank, my friend, don't be angry. I didn't mean to ignore you. The team has already given me what I want, so there's no need to fight for other things." Wang Dachun said disapprovingly.

"The conditions offered by the Mavericks are also very general? This contract can be said to be a regular contract for second-round picks, and there is nothing special about it?" Frank was a little confused.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, we should find a place to celebrate now, I'll treat you!" Wang Dachun said boldly.

"Yeah, you just signed a contract, no matter what, you have millions of dollars in income, of course you invited, and we have known each other for so long, you have never taken the initiative to invite guests!" Frank said disgusted.

"Isn't it poor before? Now I have signed a contract of more than 200 million yuan. If it is converted into RMB, it will be about 1800 million yuan. My God! How should I spend this money?"

At this time, Wang Dachun also realized that the contract he just signed was worth 244 million U.S. dollars. If converted into RMB, it would be an astronomical figure for him. He never thought that he might have so much money before. How did you spend it.

Frank reminded from the side:

"Wang, you can't get so much money! Although you signed 244 million US dollars, in fact you didn't get that much."

"Why?" Wang Dachun asked in confusion.

Frank explained:

First of all, you can only get the first-year contract amount in the first year, and your first-year contract amount is 54 US dollars.The $54 needs to be paid to the league’s escrow fund, federal tax, state tax, and my agent’s employment fee. I roughly calculated it for you. You are lucky because you belong to a basketball player in Texas. The current highest tax is 37 %.This tax rate is the lowest in the entire United States.Each state in the United States has different tax rates. Texas is currently the lowest in the United States, and other states have to increase this ratio by about 10%. That is to say, these taxes plus my 3% brokerage commission, your salary is only 60% of the annual salary on the contract, about $32. "

"Damn it, it's too fucking dark." Wang Dachun scolded directly.

Frank knows some Chinese and knows that he is swearing, but he is used to it. The United States is like this, and the tax rate is scary.

Your income is high and taxes are high, so a small contract like Wang Dachun’s $244 million is only $150 million.If Wang Dachun's contract is 2400 million U.S. dollars, then he would have to pay more than 1000 million U.S. dollars in taxes alone, and he would feel distressed to death.

"Damn it, I thought I'd become a rich man, but I was cut in half before I got it. It's really an evil capitalist country!" Wang Dachun said with righteous indignation.

"Okay, just think that your contract is more than 100 million, not more than 200 million. Will it make you feel better?" Frank said enlighteningly.

"Hey, that's all I can do to comfort myself, but when will I get the money? More than 30 is not a small number, and I'm going to be so poor now." Wang Dachun cried so poorly.

"Dude! You won't be able to get this money at once. Why don't you pay attention to this information?" Frank said speechlessly.

"Ah, the money has been cut in half and the money is not given to me. Is the Mavericks so stingy? They still owe the employees wages?" Wang Dachun asked anxiously.

Frank, I admire your expression and said:

The NBA stipulates that the salaries of general team players are paid in 24 or 36 times a year, and the Dallas Mavericks are paid in 24 times, and his payment time is the 15th and 30th of each month. "

"Isn't it? Aren't NBA teams all rich? Why pay in installments!" Wang Dachun asked in surprise.

"No way, this is the league's regulations. I just calculated it for you. After tax, you get paid twice a month. Each time is about 14000 US dollars, and twice is 28000 US dollars. Let me explain in advance that there is also my commission. ’” Frank said half-jokingly.

"Hey, when I didn't have money, I didn't think about how much money I had, but when I had money, I was entangled. I was a little dissatisfied. More than 2 US dollars a month is enough. If it is in China, it should be a proper gold collar treatment. I should be content, at least I should be able to live a relatively prosperous life in the future, and I can still pay half of the family every month." Wang Dachun said comfortingly.

"Don't draw conclusions like this, it's a bit too early. In the United States, more than 2 US dollars a month for an NBA player is actually very little." Frank reminded.

"Why do you say that? Isn't it quite a lot? This is nearly 20 yuan!" Wang Dachun asked in confusion.

"Then let me ask you! Do you want to live in a more comfortable and spacious place? Well, you don't change your place of residence. The arena is so far away from where you live. Do you want to buy a car to facilitate your travel? As a NBA players, you can’t always dress like you do now, wearing sportswear every day. You have to ask a special designer to tailor the clothes for you when you are so big? As an athlete, you must also need a nutritionist who is responsible for providing you with Healthy diet, to supplement your physical needs? Just a few basic necessities, do you think you have enough money?"

Wang Dachun had nothing to say when he heard that Frank counted the most basic expenses for him as if counting his fingers.

"I haven't said that if you want to improve your ability, whether you should enroll in the training camp of an NBA star, whether you should hire a trainer, etc." Frank said mercilessly.

Wang Dachun's eyes were already circled.

Looking at Wang Dachun's expression, Frank's mood at the moment is carefree, and he told you that you didn't listen to my opinion when talking about the contract just now, that you treated me like air, and that you didn't let me help you fight for your interests. You regret it now!

Frank felt that the blow was almost the same, so he said:

"Okay. Don't be discouraged. Being an NBA player can't just be based on your contract fee. Isn't there me? I will find a way to negotiate a good endorsement for you. Then you will have money. What I said just now It’s no longer a problem, of course, the premise is that you have to produce a certain amount of data, otherwise no one will ask you to be an endorsement.”

Wang Dachun replied a little decadently:

"I thought I was rich, so I don't have to worry about my future life anymore, I can just play golf with peace of mind, you put it that way! So I'm still poor?"
