Chapter 36 Snow Man Tae Hee
Yang Mo and Lu Xueman came to Miami, and Lu Xueman immediately started negotiations with Pat Riley. Yang Mo decisively did not participate. He really couldn't stand Lu Xueman's aggressive and strong style during the negotiations, although he also knew that Lu Xueman was fighting for her own interests.
Yang Mo rested in the hotel for two hours, and Lu Xueman came back with a contract.
Yang Mo took the contract and saw that the contract amount had indeed become 10 million, but the protected amount was still 8 million, and the other 2 million was a bonus. Yang Mo then looked down at the bonus clauses. The bonus amount would increase by 500,000 for the rookie game during the All-Star Weekend, 1 million for the team entering the playoffs, and another 500,000 if won the best rookie award.
Yang Mo looked carefully and found that the first 1.5 million was still a possibility. But the last 500,000 was out of his reach. He knew the strengths of Ross, Beasley, and Westbrook, and they were all scorers. Yang Mo was still just a blue-collar worker in a sense, so he felt that his data would definitely not be better than theirs, so he would definitely not be able to get the last 500,000.
"Also, I told Pat Riley that your contract is in the form of one plus one plus one, which means that you have the right of player option every year. In other words, as long as you play well in the first year, you can ask for a maximum salary contract in the second year. Moreover, your salary will decrease every year, from four million in the first year, more than two million in the second year, and more than one million in the third year." Lu Xueman continued to introduce.
After hearing this, Yang Mo smiled bitterly and said, "You really have confidence in me."
"Of course, you are my player. Don't I have confidence in you?" Lu Xueman raised her eyebrows and asked back, "Don't you have confidence in yourself?"
"If you fight me, I will definitely be a hundred times more confident." Yang Mo said very seriously.
Yang Mo spoke sincerely, but Lu Xueman regarded Yang Mo's words as teasing. She rolled her eyes at him and changed the subject: "Your first year's salary will be paid to you as soon as you sign the contract. At that time, you need to give me 3% commission. I will rush to take the money back to China the day after tomorrow."
"Oh, OK." Yang Mo nodded vaguely, and then asked again: "No, I'm serious. By the way, are you still a virgin?"
"If you do this again I'll sue you for sexual harassment!"
Lu Xueman pointed at Yang Mo and warned her, but Yang Mo just giggled, grabbed her fingers, kissed them, and quickly changed the subject before she got mad: "Why are you going back to China?"
Lu Xueman was so upset by what Yang Mo did to her, but she was not angry. Through spending the past few days with her, she knew that Yang Mo was a kind person. Although she always liked to tease her, deep down in her heart she was secretly happy to be teased by Yang Mo, which made her very distressed and ashamed.
"I'll go back and get my mom and sister over here, and get your contract done. I'll be considered a wealthy woman with some savings now."
"Okay, do a good job!" Yang Mo reached out and touched Lu Xueman's round and firm buttocks again, then quickly ran away to find a pen to sign.
Lu Xueman glared at him when she was touched by him, but she knew that it was useless because she could no longer scare him.
After Yang Mo signed the contract, she handed it back to Lu Xueman. When handing over the contract, Yang Mo wanted to take advantage of her, but Lu Xueman dodged it nimbly. She also reached out and patted Yang Mo's butt: "Is it fun?"
"Fun!" Yang Mo was spanked on the butt by Lu Xueman, and actually felt a wonderful sense of pleasure.
"I give up." Lu Xueman shrugged helplessly and walked out the door quickly. Before leaving, she said to Yang Mo, "I will bring your salary card to you at noon tomorrow, and I will withdraw 300,000 US dollars from it. I will fly to China tomorrow night and may not be back for half a month. Take good care of yourself. By the way, there will be a rookie training class in New York next week. It will last for three days. Don't forget to attend."
After finishing the instructions, he left quickly.
Yang Mo looked at her graceful back, licked his tongue fiercely, and said with a mean smile: "Lu Xueman, I will catch you in my hand one day."
The next day at noon, Lu Xueman brought a bank card to Yang Mo, saying that all the money in it had been taxed, and there was about 2.5 million left. Yang Mo was dumbfounded and asked why the United States deducted taxes so fiercely? Lu Xueman rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Miami deducted less. If you go to other states, you can get half of the deduction left."
"Damn it, capitalism is a vampire !" Yang Mo cursed angrily.
"Okay, stop complaining here, I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself during this time." Lu Xueman waved at Yang Mo and walked out. Yang Mo rushed over and held her head... Baji!
He kissed Lu Xueman’s cherry lips.
After the kiss, he ran into the bathroom cowardly, fearing that Lu Xueman would use the same methods as Master Miejue.
But Lu Xueman did not get angry. Instead, she stood there with her mouth touched for several minutes. Yang Mo's kiss seemed to suddenly break something as hard as iron in her heart. A torrent rushed out, and gradually, a smile appeared on her face.
Looking at the tightly closed bathroom door, she couldn't help but smile and mutter, "He has the desire but not the courage."
Then he raised his voice and said, "Don't cause any trouble for me in the next half month. If I find out, you'll be in trouble."
"Uh, okay, hurry up, or you'll miss the plane."
Puff!
Lu Xueman couldn't help but chuckle, told him to take good care of himself, and left.
After Lu Xueman left, Yang Mo came out of the bathroom. As soon as she came out, she patted her chest and said, "I was scared to death. I thought she would get mad. It seems... I can still push it a little further!"
As Yang Mo spoke, a happy expression appeared on his face. He felt that if he was more proactive, he might be able to get Lu Xueman. As he thought about it, he couldn't stop getting excited, and the six-pointed star on his chest was also shining brightly.
That afternoon , Miami announced the signing of the eighth pick, which was the first signing of all rookies in 2008. It once again sparked controversy in the media. Everyone was discussing whether Pat Riley was confused by signing an unknown person for 10 million. Some people even attacked Pat Riley with vicious language, saying that he had Alzheimer's disease.
Less than 10% of the entire American media are optimistic about Yang Mo. Everyone thinks that this short forward will destroy the reputation that Pat Riley has accumulated over half his lifetime.
Only Michael Jordan supported Pat Riley in the media. He kept speaking well of Yang Mo and even said that he could trade any player from the Bobcats as long as Pat Riley was willing.
Michael Jordan's words can only prove from the side that Yang Mo is really useless, because everyone on earth knows that Michael Jordan's vision is a joke. I just didn't expect that Pat Riley's always accurate vision would be reduced to the same level as Michael Jordan. His reputation is ruined!
Regarding the criticism from the outside world, Pat Riley confidently stood in front of the media and said: "Time will tell."
When Pat Riley said that time will tell, Yang Mo returned to New York again. He had to attend a rookie training. The so-called training was actually the league inviting a group of financial experts to tell the players how to manage their finances, so as not to go bankrupt before retirement. Financial management may be a problem for black players, but it is definitely not a problem for Yang Mo. The traditional is thrift and diligence. They would rather throw money into the bank and let it accumulate dust than spend it carelessly.
The next day after arriving in New York, Yang Mo received a call from Kim Tae Hee: "So you are an NBA player! Last time you lied to me that you were going to rob, and I really wanted to lend you money. Where are you now? I'm in New York. I'm here to attend a fashion party, and there are many sisters here."
