Chapter 37 Formal Signing
Xie Kai stayed at home for two days and felt bored, so he asked his mother for some money and went back to the University of Kansas.Before going, my mother kept pestering and asking if the girlfriend was a classmate from the same school, which made him very embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.He finally saw how terrifying the "Baguazhang" of middle-aged women is!
He hasn't trained much in the past few days. In this way, the advantages of his "consciousness training" will be revealed. Whether it is sleeping or eating, the training will not be affected. Although there are limitations, it is still an artifact of training. !

It is already summer, and the school is on summer vacation, and there are many, many fewer people in the school.Zhou Jing and Wang Mengqi did not return to China, but worked in a hamburger restaurant in Lawrence City.

Working and studying in the summer vacation is the choice of many international students. The cost of living in the United States is relatively high, and not all Chinese families can afford this kind of expenses.

Although Xie Kai is very hopeful to sign a rookie contract, but he hasn't officially signed it yet, so he doesn't have much money in his pocket.He couldn't give Zhou Jing a sum of money so that she only needs to be responsible for studying, eating, drinking and having fun, and even if he was willing to pay, she would not accept it given her temper.

Xie Kai invited Zhou Jing and Wang Mengqi to dine at a high-end western restaurant in Lawrence City.He originally planned to invite them to eat Chinese food, but Zhou Jing said that the taste of Chinese food in the United States is really not flattering, and it is not as good as her own.

Wang Mengqi originally shied away because she had something to do, but Xie Kai insisted, so she agreed.In fact, she wanted to go very much. The work-study program was tough, and the student party had no money, so such a high-end restaurant was even unthinkable.But in order not to be a light bulb, she had no choice but to reluctantly refuse. She never thought that the hero Xie Kai didn't care at all.

The jazz music in the western restaurant, to someone like Xie Kai who doesn't know the rhythm, is not as beautiful as the domestic guzheng.He has been in the United States for many years, but in his bones, he is still a traditional Chinese.

"How long do you plan to stay in school?" Zhou Jing asked.

"Let's see when the contract is signed, it probably won't be long!" Xie Kai said.

"Xie Shuai, how much money can you earn from a rookie contract?" Wang Mengqi asked curiously.

"There is a big gap between the No. 80 pick and the second-round pick. A rookie like me at the end of the first round will have an annual salary of about 110 to [-] million in the first year!" Xie Kai explained.

"Wow, there are so many!" Wang Mengqi instantly became a money fan, with the image of dollars shining in her eyes.

Xie Kai sighed inwardly. For these international students who don't have much money, his annual salary of less than US$100 million after tax is a lot of money, but in fact he doesn't even reach the average level of the league!And like the top superstars in the league, their salary only accounts for a small part of their income, and commercial endorsements are the big one.

In the evening, downstairs in Zhou Jing's dormitory, Xie Kai and Zhou Jing said goodbye.At this time, Wang Mengqi had already tactfully excused herself to go back to the dormitory first.

Zhou Jing leaned gently on Xie Kai's chest, and murmured, "I have a question for you!"

"Ask!" Xie Kai said.Even though he said that, he still paid [-] points in his heart. He knew that girls are really weird sometimes. It is often a very common thing, a very common question. If the answer makes them dissatisfied, they may answer Die ugly.

Zhou Jing raised her head, looked into Xie Kai's eyes, and asked, "If you become a big star in the future, will you still treat me as well as you do now?"

Xie Kai replied without thinking: "Of course!"

"Full score for answering speed!" Zhou Jing smiled slightly, showing her neat little white teeth.

Xie Kai sighed, sometimes girls are so strange, they don't care about the answers to the questions, but they care about the other party's attitude and way of answering the questions.

——Compared with boys, girls are more emotional.

Xie Kai is not an expert at picking up girls. In fact, he had never been in a relationship before he was with Zhou Jing.He doesn't like white people and black people. The girls he likes are yellow people with the same skin color as himself.During the year when they were together with Zhou Jing, they often had quarrels. Fortunately, he has a strong learning ability, and he will hardly make the same mistake a second time.So now he will not make simple mistakes when facing this first love.

Xie Kai stayed at the University of Kansas.He came this time, first to go through the withdrawal procedures, but to see Zhou Jing.In the past few days, he was tired of being with her every day, and his life was enjoyable.

7月5日，西雅图超音速队和威斯布鲁克正式签约。合同为期4年，总价值1635万美元，其中2011年、2012年球队选项。

Xie Kaifa sent a congratulatory message, congratulations to this good friend for officially signing the contract.He learned from his agent Thaddeus Fucher that his contract has also reached the final stage of negotiation.

On July 7, Xie started his journey to Houston to sign the first contract of his NBA career.

On the morning of July 7, at the Houston Rockets headquarters, in the office of general manager Morey, under the witness of his agent, Xie Kai signed his name in his rookie contract.

这是一份普通的首轮新秀的“2+2”合同，具体为4年总价值500万美元，其中2011年、2012年为球队选项。

This is a rookie contract with an average salary of 125 million US dollars per year. Whether it is the average salary or the total value, it is of course incomparable with the lottery pick.The reason why Xie Kai's contract was finalized later than other first-round picks is because the agent and the Rockets management have been negotiating the amount of the contract.

The NBA's salary cap for the new season is $5868 million, and the luxury tax trigger line is $7115 million.The total salary of the Rockets has reached 6827 million US dollars, so in order to avoid increasing unnecessary luxury taxes, general manager Morey will be very cautious in using every penny.

As we all know, Alexander, the owner of the Rockets, is a famous iron rooster, while Morey, the lucky cat, strictly implements his money-saving policy. He wants to win the championship without paying the luxury tax.

Xie Kai knows that most domestic fans don't like Alexander and Morey anyway.

Xie Kai didn't care too much about the size of the contract, he still took a long-term view.He knows very well that the more than $50 or less of $50 is not the most important thing, the most important thing is whether he can get the chance to enter the rotation and stable playing time in the team.As long as there is an opportunity to perform, He Chou will not have the opportunity to sign a big contract in the future.If you are entangled in this small interest, if you leave a bad reputation in the industry, not only may affect your future free market, but may also affect your commercial value, then the loss outweighs the gain.
