soul of baseball

Chapter 932
For major league players, making money is of course a very important thing.

But once you leave the arena, whether it is high income, fans' admiration or various exposures, it will go away.

This kind of process is actually not easy to adapt to, and I have played baseball all my life, can I just let it go?

What jobs can still be under the media?Can you still enjoy the atmosphere of the game?

Harvey said with a smile: "Related work is actually not easy, especially for pitchers."

Compared with catchers who "suffered" in their playing careers, it is the catchers who are the easiest to find related jobs after retiring.

"I have some friends from the big and small leagues. What kind of messy jobs did they retire to do? Selling houses? Well, his lover is very good, and he even sold a show."

Speaking of the former major league star Xi Chuan, he also knew about it, and he had just received a contact from the other party before, hoping to participate in the filming of a show in Florida: "The real estate agent is actually good, especially the players. Money also has connections, and positioning it on a million-dollar property is actually very easy to increase ratings."

Harvey couldn't be happier: "This kind of thing requires the participation of my wife, and my wife is not interested. But I have a friend who went to dance, you know?"

Xi Chuan nodded awkwardly, the one who went to dance was too big, and he danced well enough: "Do you like this kind of exposure?" (Reference taken from JLO A-ROD)

"Of course I don't like it, otherwise why would he come back to be a football commentator?"

Xi Chuan thought for a while and said: "Actually, in terms of commentary and commentary, I am more inclined to match the ball with former catchers who have their own ideas. They have experience, and many commentaries will be more in place and more interesting than other former players. I don't mean anything else, but you're a pitcher, and a pitcher who's used to hearing the ball."

Harvey was choked, but he still couldn't refute. He was really such a type: "Then tell me? What interesting post-retirement positions can you provide? I have been in the major leagues for 12 years. I should earn Even if I don’t think about it, the major leagues will give me a pension in the future.” Xi Chuan smiled, and for players who have been in the major leagues for ten years, they will indeed receive a pension after retirement. More than 60 years old, although not much, but enough for ordinary expenses, but that is for ordinary people.Players who are used to being extravagant are not used to it.Of course, it's better not to say this kind of ridicule yourself.

"Does Panda have any intention of giving a small amount of shares to the players?"

Xi Chuan directly vetoed it: "No, there are not many participants in this team, but the situation is very complicated. Of course, the main reason is unwillingness."

Harvey did not feel unhappy, but asked strangely: "Is there a more suitable one after retirement?"

Xi Chuan smiled: "It's hard to pass the time when you are bored with holding shares, right? Actually, if you want to be sure about someone?" Xi Chuan paused and looked at Harvey: "If it's you, I'll confirm you first Interests in themselves. If your hobby is going to nightclubs every night, then Panda in Montero is obviously not for you.”

Cough~ Harvey glanced at his wife beside him, and firmly stated that he did not have this hobby!
Xi Chuan went on to say: "However, if you are not satisfied with Montero, it is also very convenient to cross to the other side."

Harvey laughed completely: "I like to watch games, and I also like to stay in the lounge during my rotation. I love games at any level, from a little kid to a university, and I like to learn from them. Judgment, who will be like in the future, well, which man does not want to play the role of God in some aspects? But I really don’t have much interest in nightclub parties. I prefer hunting and shooting, otherwise I would have Not interested in the Diamondbacks."

Xi Chuan thought about it, and there was nothing he could do about the unique shooting culture in Arizona. After all, there are still many descendants of female bigwigs today: "Montero has a lot of outdoor activities. In fact, the scenery and the eroded landforms are another. It is said that we should have eyes to discover beauty, look, isn’t the surrounding scenery beautiful now?”

Harvey is not satisfied with the young man in front of him. Well, it should be a special case. After all, another man who is not a few years younger is holding his own child and watching cartoons: "Is it easy to operate a small farm?"

"Of course, we have absolute policy support."

"Will it be too far from the field?"

"Not really if you live near a river or a bay, it's easier to have a boat than a car."

"Cool!" Harvey embraced his wife: "I've wanted to buy a boat for a long time, but the teams I've been playing in can't use it. They're all big cities. If I play in Panda, there's no problem."

Xi Chuan said with a smile: "Speaking of the fact that you like to watch football, if one day you choose to retire, we are willing to leave you a position in the scouting department, although I personally prefer that you adapt to the pitching coach in the minor leagues." We have a lot of newcomers here, and we are willing to communicate with more experienced players.”

Harvey knew very well how much he weighed, so he shook his head after hearing this: "I can shoot, but I can't teach! The scouting department is more suitable for me. Is there any subsidy?"

"Not much, can you accept assignments from abroad?"

"Maybe not, I have to stay with my family."

"Okay, this aspect can be discussed and considered slowly. After all, if you take good care of your body and stay healthy, you can invest for a long time."

Harvey nodded, looked sideways at his wife, and wanted to hear her opinion.

Mrs. Harvey is very straightforward: "I have a beauty treatment every week. Every time Harvey changes teams, the most annoying thing for me is that the beautician I have finally become familiar with has to change again. Is Montero's place bad? I don't want to. You have to cross the sea every time."

Nishikawa directly gave Yanu's contact information: "Professional, but our country in China also pays attention to nutrition, you can consult with a specialized agency. There are a lot of self-produced and self-sold organic fruits, vegetables and meats in Montero. I believe it will bring you more surprises.”

Mrs. Harvey was not satisfied: "Then have you considered the specific age? You know, when the child grows up, moving around is not good for his growth. Whether it is making friends or studying, he needs a stable environment. "

"Don't worry about this. According to your husband's age, we will give the best consideration. Of course, this needs to be discussed in detail after he signs an economic contract. The guarantee I can give here is 3-5 years. Let's talk about salary."

Harvey is not young anymore, high salary is impossible, he is more pursuing the length of the contract.

But Nishikawa really wants him. This kind of veteran is especially good at protecting himself. Usually there will be no big problems such as needing TJ, and minor pains and illnesses will not be considered. After all, no one can avoid things.

This situation is not suitable for discussing economic contracts, but the two sides have clearly reached a preliminary consensus.So Mrs. Harvey changed the topic to a more relaxed direction: "Once the contract is about to be released, please help us look out for a suitable house, which is convenient for the children to run around. Oh, I have an 11-year-old at home. "

Xi Chuan looked at the little boy in Shen Qin's arms and asked, "By the sea, by the river, or by the lake?"

Harvey and his wife looked at each other: "Of course, it must be close to the sea, not the bay, but the one that is really close to the sea, the one with a hundred steps of sand."

Uh... "With all due respect, there are two kinds of houses with this condition. One is an upside-down house, but this kind of house is climbed up and down. Although it is very suitable for vacation, it is the only one for your young son. The only temptation is to put some swings on the bottom shelf."

"The other kind of detached house is okay, the porches are mostly fully enclosed, the view is okay, and the price is believed to be unimportant to you, but there is also a problem, because the beach is on two sides, and the beach that this type of house is close to is far away from the beach. The stadium is relatively far away, and if you sail a boat, you have to go around a long circle.”

In this way, Harvey and his wife generally understand that a single-story single-family house suitable for children to run around is inconvenient for adults to go to work; otherwise, it is convenient for work but troublesome for children to go up and down the stairs.

Mrs. Harvey thought for a while and asked, "How many floors are there in an upside-down house?"

"What is your ideal room type?"

"4 rooms - 5 rooms like this."

"Request a private beach?"

"No requirement, children like to be lively, but they must not drive."

"These are all three-story bases. I went to Piggy Beach with my friends before. There is a slope behind the house, that is, you can go up to the top floor directly from the back, and the bottom floor if you walk from the beach. Is this right? Would it be more convenient?"

Harvey was pleasantly surprised: "Yes! That's great. I'm exhausted after get off work, and I don't want to climb the stairs at all."

"It's not difficult to install an elevator. Now many houses have elevators both outside and inside." Xi Chuan interrupted him: "I'm sorry, but the top floor of this kind of house generally has no bedrooms, and most of them are kitchens, dining rooms and living rooms. Of course, This can be adjusted. But insurance costs for upside-down houses are high.”

"Insurance should be there, and the sick leave environment is already there." Harvey was a little entangled: "The bedroom on the ground floor is actually very inconvenient. It's better if the child is older. If the child is young, we can't watch him go out to play in the middle of the night!"

Xi Chuan nodded and reminded him: "And the so-called bottom floor has a support frame underneath. Many families will make an outdoor shower space at the bottom, and a warehouse to store some equipment such as surfing and swimming, and some even apply for parking. But some beaches don't allow it. Of course, it's okay to have some rides. If it can attract children..."

Now Mrs. Harvey is also struggling. Everyone who wants to live on the beach wants to live in an upside-down house, but this is a short-term stay. Is it acceptable for a long-term stay?
Xi Chuan made persistent efforts: "Besides, the distance from the hundred-step beach, this kind of upside-down house generally cannot build a swimming pool..."

"⊙⊙?..."

"If the distance can be extended a bit, the room type will be easy to choose."

The two couples looked at each other again, and immediately decided to lengthen the distance!If you really want to be close to the beach, just buy another one.

Only then did Xi Chuan smile and give the contact information of the professionals.

Shen Qin, who was pretending to be watching cartoons, rubbed his ears, a little dumbfounded by the way the players spent money.Hey Hey hey!Except for the few apartment houses in Montero Beach, as long as it is a single-family house, there is no cheap one at all!

It's amazing to make money

Those who won the lottery by themselves are not eligible to be compared!Wanting to live by the sea, don't say that Xi Chuan disagrees, as far as he is concerned, he is a little scared!

Others are afraid of the deep sea, but he feels insecure even sleeping on the seashore!

Scared!Sleep on the river at night, I heard there are crocodiles!

……

Shen Qin didn't know if there was a crocodile, but a group of people arrived at their destination after eating and talking.

The village is very old, but it is quite big. The little black children are running around, and they seem to be full of energy, but they are not skinny.

Several people worked separately, and Xi Chuan and Harvey led a group of staff to distribute clothes and equipment.Shen Qintsk and Mrs. Harvey went to deliver sanitary products.

It was strange that there was no embarrassment, the girls were still shy, but the older women looked calm.

But I should be very satisfied with the hygiene products, especially for the hand-washable cotton one: "Can it be used all the time?"

"Wash it clean! Let it dry in the sun! Use sanitary napkins if you can!" Mrs. Harvey pointed to the packaged sanitary napkins: "For washing, washing powder or soap is fine. We will send them, but they are shared, and you need to wash them." Clothes, go to the front to get them, and tomorrow we will build a separate board room."

Shen Qin was very surprised, Mrs. Harvey actually chose to use washing powder for public use?
Mrs. Harvey added: "There are also some simple medicines, and you can ask for help if you have any special needs."

The tall, dark-skinned woman nodded in surprise. She obviously didn't care what was shared or not.

Mrs. Harvey sent old coarse bed sheets, which are only suitable for 1 meter 2, and this kind of house with only one wooden board as a bed is obviously suitable.

Shen Qin was stunned for a moment, this striped bed sheet looked familiar!
Mrs. Harvey said with a smile: "You Chinese people are very good at doing business, and your products are everywhere. I think this kind of bed sheet is very strong, so I bought a lot, and it is really cheap, 1.5 dollars a piece."

Shen Qin could only be dumbfounded. If the wholesale quantity is large, the price will be about the same. I also saw it on the Internet a few days ago, and I can buy a similar size for 15 yuan.

But the most popular thing is panda stuff, whether it is kids or adults who are so eager for new and personal clothes, it is for them alone!
"There's a hat!" The little boy rushed into the room, proudly turning around in front of his mother: "Hat!"

"nice!"

The little boy grinned, looked at Shen Qin's camera and posed: "Can you take a picture of me?"

Shen Qin nodded and said with a smile, "Can I take a picture of you and your mother together? I'll go to the boat and print it out for you."

The little boy didn't know much about printing, he only knew things to photograph at the baseball assist staff.But as long as you can shoot, you will immediately get into the arms of the woman!
Shen Qin asked the two of them to take a lot of pictures outside in a place with better light, thinking that they must clean their mouths and give them a beautiful one.
