"Slowly you will get used to this kind of life!"

On the plane to Los Angeles, Wu Jianye smiled and said to Wang Zhizhi, who was not quite used to it.

When the time entered mid-August, Wang Zhizhi ended all domestic affairs, including the two advertisements for luck sports and cold water drinks.

Officially set foot on the plane to Los Angeles!

Along with him are Wang Zhizhi's parents, Mayo, and the Lakers' negotiating team!

As for Wu Jianye, he went to Los Angeles to deal with some matters related to Phantom Media. At the same time, as the boss, he would welcome Wang Zhizhi's arrival and bring Zhu Yan and others back to China!
As for what Wu Jianye told Wang Zhizhi, it was because the media also knew about the news that Wang Zhizhi was going to Los Angeles today, so they were stuck at the airport and wanted to have a final interview with Wang Zhizhi.

The huge team of reporters made Wang Zhizhi a little uncomfortable!

Wu Jianye walked in early to avoid harassment from reporters.

"Well, Director Wu, I have to trouble you to take me there this time, thank you so much!" Wang Zhizhi thanked again.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "It's okay, anyway, I have to go to deal with some other things."

"Anyway, I have to thank Director Wu for this matter this time!" Ren Huanzhen said on the other side of the aisle of the plane.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Big Zhi, when you get to the Lakers, you shouldn't be so shy. The people over there pay attention to showing off your personality. If you have such a personality, those people will target you!"

Hearing what Wu Jianye said, Wang Zhizhi inevitably became a little nervous again.

For Wang Zhizhi's personality, Wu Jianye had no way to persuade him. After all, a person's personality cannot be changed just by saying it.

Only after going through a lot of beatings can Wang Zhizhi's character truly mature.

"Take a good rest, it's still a long time to Los Angeles!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Jianye began to close his eyes and meditate!

The plane slowly moved on the airport apron until it was completely parked. After the captain made an announcement, everyone got up and walked out of the cabin, got their luggage, and when they walked to the airport hall, they saw that they were among the people who were picking up the plane. Someone is already holding a sign of Wang Zhizhi!
This is the Lakers who came to pick up Wang Zhizhi!

In the airport lobby, Wu Jianye said to Wang Zhizhi's family: "The team has already arranged accommodation with you. Someone will take you to the place where you live now to get acquainted. I will take you to the team tomorrow!"

Wang Zhizhi's family once again expressed their gratitude to Wu Jianye.

If it weren't for the training fee paid to the Bayi team, Wang Zhizhi's family would be able to rent a house in Los Angeles. After all, Luck Sports and sweat drinks gave Wang Zhizhi a lot of advertising fees.

It's just that after paying the Bayi team's training fee, it's a little difficult for Wang Zhizhi's family to build a decent house in Los Angeles.

So the team first rented a house for Wang Zhizhi, which is a typical American-style two-story villa, but this is not rented for nothing, but to be deducted from Wang Zhizhi's annual salary.

The NBA has its own salary payment mechanism.

First of all, when a player signs with a certain team, there are two sources of funds, one is the signing fee, and the other is his own salary!
The signing fee is a one-shot deal. Needless to say, it is basically 10% to 15% of the player's annual salary!

As for the annual salary, although everyone is willing to say that it is an annual salary, in fact, most players get a monthly salary or a semi-monthly salary!
For example, the annual salary of a player is 100 million. After signing the contract, on the 1st or 15th of each month, the team will pay the player the salary of the month, and sometimes it is twice a month, that is to say, the monthly salary is paid twice. .

This is why there are so many fines in the NBA league. These fines are actually deducted from the players' salaries.

Now the salary of the NBA has not risen to the horror of later generations. In this era, there is only one person with an annual salary of more than [-] million, and that is the simple comeback of Magic Johnson.

Although the Magician did not play in the game last year, the Lakers still paid Magic Johnson an annual salary of 1400 million, which is already the highest annual salary in the NBA today.

Although Wu Jianye had known about Magic Johnson's situation for a long time, he still agreed to the price given by the team's management. In fact, it was to show the human side of the Lakers.

Although everyone knows that the NBA is a business league, the more so, if there is a team with a little bit of human touch, it will be more precious!
During this period, the real money-absorbing main force is the center of the league. Last season, there were 75 players in the entire league with an annual salary of more than 100 million, and among them, nine centers had an annual salary of more than 200 million.

Except for Magic Johnson, the highest salary in the league last season was Patrick Ewing of the New York Knicks, the gorilla who later went to the Mosaic team to guide Chairman Yao, and also the prototype of Akagi in "Slam Dunk" , his annual salary is $940 million!
As for supernova O'Neal, his annual salary is only $570 million.

Everyone knows that the NBA is not the most popular league in North America, but it is undeniable that the players with the highest salaries in North America are NBA players. For example, last season, Ryan Sandberg, who had the highest salary in the North American Baseball League, The annual salary is only 700 million.

As for the salary of football league players, it is even lower, which is why next year, Iverson will choose to join the NBA instead of the NFL.

In an era when the average annual salary of players did not exceed 1000 million U.S. dollars, when Michael Jordan was negotiating his annual salary for the first time after his comeback, the Bulls offered Michael Jordan an annual salary of 3014 million U.S. dollars. Everyone should know that this is a matter What a crazy thing.

At that time, the "New York Times" commented on the deal: 30 points, or 3000 million, Jordan was walking on the ground.

As for Wang Zhizhi, although Wu Jianye is very optimistic about him, the Lakers also have their own salary system. Even Wu Jianye would not be able to give Wang Zhizhi too high an annual salary. Slightly above the $75 annual salary for the rookie class!
This amount of money seems to be quite good for Wang Zhizhi, who has just left the country, but in fact, this has not counted the tax on players in Los Angeles!
As a tax-heavy state in North America, California also pays very heavy taxes on NBA players, as high as 49%.

In other words, Wang Zhizhi's actual salary is only 38.25 US dollars!
Of course, this salary is already higher than the salary of many ordinary people in North America!

For Wang Zhizhi, if he can manage his image well, in fact, the real income in the future will not be the salary of the team, but the advertisements he endorses!
Anyway, after Wang Zhizhi formally signs the contract with the Lakers tomorrow, the funds for renting the house can be directly returned to the team, and the life of the three of them in the Los Angeles Lakers is also guaranteed.

After everyone walked out of the airport lobby, a special car took Wang Zhizhi's family of three and Mayo to their rented house, and everyone else went home by themselves.

Wu Jianye and Dai Zhen also returned directly to the Beverly Hills Manor by car.

After arriving at the manor, Wu Jianye saw Zhu Juan, Li Xiuming, and Liu Xiaoli sitting in the garden chatting, while the four children were having fun while having fun.

Of course Wu Luoxin, Liu Yifei and Zhao Linger were happy, but Wu Nianyi was worried!
Regarding Wu Luoxin, Wu Nianyi had no good solution, he was always eaten to death, and with Zhao Linger and Liu Yifei helping him, Wu Nianyi was almost always in a state of being bullied.

The same is true at this time.

Zhao Linger has been sent to North America by Zhao Lei, and has been living in Beverly Hills Manor.

Wu Jianye rubbed his head that had become a chicken coop, and said to Wu Nianyi: "Have you been bullied again?"

Wu Nianyi smiled and didn't care, and said, "No, I'll play with them. My mother told me that I'm an older brother and I have to take care of my younger siblings!"

Wu Jianye happily praised: "That's right, that's what a brother should do. It's your responsibility to take care of your younger siblings!"

Wu Nian nodded heavily.

Seeing that Wu Jianye was busy talking to Wu Nianyi, Wu Luoxin threw herself into Wu Jianye's arms, declaring her sovereignty!
Wu Jianye laughed and hugged Wu Luoxin.

They came to the garden together, Wu Jianye put Wu Luoxin down, the three children ran over, Liu Xiaoli smiled and thanked Wu Jianye for treating their mother and daughter this time.

Wu Jianye said that Liu Xiaoli was too polite, after all, there is Liu Yifei leading the way between the two parties!
Zhu Zhuan and Li Xiuming simply asked about Wu Jianye's visit to Los Angeles this time. They only received a call from Wu Jianye and knew that he was coming to Los Angeles, but they didn't know why he came.

Hearing that Wu Jianye brought Wang Zhizhi to Los Angeles this time, he asked if he would like to invite his family tonight.

Chinese people attach great importance to the plot of their hometown, especially in such a foreign country, so even if they have no friendship with Wang Zhizhi's family, hearing that Wu Jianye can come to Los Angeles with them will make him feel happy. The idea of ​​them coming over for dinner.

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "No need, I believe there will be a lot of things to keep their family busy today, so we don't need to worry about them!"

And Wang Zhizhi's family has Mayo as an agent by their side, so there is no problem!

In the coming days, the Lakers will also find a full-time translator for Wang Zhizhi. According to Wu Jianye’s idea, they want to find him a translator who is a native of Los Angeles or has stayed in China and is familiar with basketball terminology. Such people are not easy to find.

So we can only recruit slowly!
At night, Wu Jianye chatted with Li Xiuming.

"Has anyone harassed Xinxin during this time?"

What Wu Jianye asked was about the harassment of reporters. In North America, a place where the media industry is extremely developed, even Wu Jianye couldn't protect Li Xiuming's mother and daughter like he did in Xiangjiang, so Wu Luoxin's identity It was confirmed soon, so Wu Jianye was a little worried about Wu Luoxin's daily life.

This was the only sequelae after Wu Jianye gave the Phantom Media to Wu Luoxin.

During this period of time, Wu Jianye even thought about it, if it was impossible, he would send Wu Luoxin to the Rose College in Switzerland.

As the world's No. 1880 aristocratic college, the Rosey College has been the most favorite noble college for the world's top wealthy families since its establishment in [-], and is also known as the "cradle of kings".

For example, the kings of Iran, Egypt, Belgium, and the prince of Monaco have made Rosey High School a must-have resume for royal nobles to go out and say hello.

Rosey has always pursued "diversity".It stipulates that students from each country cannot exceed 10% of the total number of students, and students come from more than 60 countries. It is a truly international school.

In addition to the princes and nobles, there are also "successors" from all over the world and from all walks of life.

For example, the Middle East oil tycoon, the Greek ship tycoon, the Spanish banking family, the American tobacco giant, the RB manufacturing consortium...

The only thing in common is that they are either rich or noble, representing the most prominent minority of people on the entire planet.

By the way, Michael Kadoorie, the owner of Xiangjiang Hotel Group, also known as The Peninsula Hotel, graduated from the Rosey College.

If Wu Luoxin is sent here, at least her safety here can be guaranteed.

"It's okay, but when I go out, there are always some reporters following me to take pictures. Although the bodyguards can protect Xinxin's safety, they can't stop the reporters from secretly taking pictures!"

As the youngest richest woman in the world, Wu Luoxin already has a net worth of tens of billions of dollars when she is less than ten years old. Wu Jianye naturally wants to place more bodyguards by her side!

Hearing what Li Xiuming said, Wu Jianye's thoughts became more firm.

"I think it's better to transfer Xinxin to another school." Then Wu Jianye expressed his thoughts.

When Li Xiuming heard that Wu Luoxin was going to study at the Rose College in Switzerland, he was naturally a little bit reluctant, looking at Li Xiuming's expression.

Wu Jianye said: "Of course, this matter is up to you, you should think about it first!"

Li Xiuming nodded, and began to feel entangled in his heart. On the one hand, he hoped that Wu Luoxin could receive the best education, and on the other hand, he was a little reluctant to leave Wu Luoxin by his side at such a young age.

"Let me discuss it with Xinxin!" Li Xiuming said in the end.

Wu Jianye naturally has no objection to this. The best education can certainly give children a better future, but Wu Jianye believes that with his current power, all the so-called best education is nothing more than icing on the cake. He just She didn't want Wu Luoxin to live under the spotlight so early, that's why she had such an idea.

Li Xiuming said: "I heard that the entrance examination at Rose College is very strict?"

As the top aristocratic school in the world, Rosey College naturally has very strict admission requirements, but all of this is not difficult for Wu Jianye, no matter what kind of things in this world, there are privileges!

The most important thing for Wu Jianye now is actually whether Wu Luoxin is willing to go or not, not anything else!
