Chapter 147 Finalizing the New Contract
"The incentive part?" Mitch Kupchak asked.

"That's right, it's the motivation part." Tang Qian nodded.

"So what kind of incentives do you want?" Kupchak asked.

"In terms of the salary of the contract, I can accept it, there is no problem, but I hope to add a few additional clauses." Tang Qian said: "First, if I can get the block leader this season, the Lakers must give me a bonus of 100 million US dollars. Second, if I average 10 rebounds per game this season, the Lakers must give me a bonus of $50. Third, if I can be selected for the best rookie team this season, the Lakers must give me I have a bonus of US$100 million. Fourth, if I can be selected to the best defensive team this season, the Lakers must give me a bonus of US$100 million." After Tang Qian finished speaking in one breath, he looked at Mitch Kupcher Ke said: "How is it, sir? This is the motivation part I need."

Incentive clauses are attached to player contracts. This has long been a common occurrence in the NBA. Many people have done this, such as Joakim Noah of the Bulls, such as the former "flower bug" Dennis Rodman, such as "Jr. Jordan" DeAndre, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.However, the team management is not a fool. Generally speaking, the motivation part is extremely difficult to complete, or even impossible to achieve.

"That's it..." Mitch Kupchak immediately switched to "Businessman Mode", and then began to bargain with Tang Qian: "It's not impossible, but there are a few details that need to be revised, such as..."

For a whole hour, the office of the general manager of the Lakers seemed to be turned into a "vegetable market", and words like, NO, are you kidding, impossible, etc. came from inside.

……

"Okay, hot, so be it." Mitch Kupchak called in the female secretary, Laurie Blank, and gave her a few instructions before continuing to talk to Tang Qian: "I'll let Laurie go A new contract is being drafted, you just wait, it will be done in 15 minutes at most."

"No problem, sir." Tang Qian said.

Ten minutes later, female secretary Laurie Blank pushed open the door of the general manager's office again. Tang Qian glanced at her and was holding a stack of paper documents that had just been printed in her hand.Not surprisingly, that is his new contract with the Lakers.

"Is everything done, Laurie?" Mitch Kupchak asked.

"According to your instructions, everything has been done." Laurie Blank replied very skillfully. Looking at her capable appearance, she knew that in addition to being a "life secretary", she also worked as a "work secretary".

Mitch Kupchak looked it over first, and then said to Tang Qian: "Tang, this is your new contract. If there is no objection, just sign your name here."

Tang Qian nodded, took the contract and read it twice carefully, and then said: "There is nothing wrong with the contract, as we agreed."

"Good! Then sign it, it's hot." Mitch Kupchak said.

"Yes." Tang Qian nodded, and signed the contracts in triplicate with his name one by one.

"OK, welcome~China hot~Welcome to the Los Angeles Lakers~" After Tang Qian signed the last contract, Mitch Kupchak showed a professional smile again and said: "I hope you can play in the next games of this season." Play well and do your part for the Lakers."

"Anytime~ I will work hard, sir." Tang Qian also shook hands professionally and thanked him.

A few hours later, the Lakers officially released the news that they had successfully renewed their contract with Tang Qian, and also attached detailed contract details in accordance with the standard.

An hour later, China, the basketball website, exploded.

The first is the headlines of the major portals.

China Tower successfully renewed its contract, and Tang Qian will finish the remaining games of the 2011-2012 Lakers!

See you Chinese again! A long-lost face in the NBA!
Absolute win-win, the action of the Lakers is a classic!

Victory for the common people!Tang Qian's announcement: NBA here I come!
Furthermore, there are professional basketball forums and post bars, they are not to be outdone.

Some masters "over the wall" went over and directly brought in the details of Tang Qian's contract renewal, the original English version and the Chinese translation version, each one.

The general content is as follows:

The annual salary is about 45 US dollars, and the contract is valid for the 2011-2012 season. If suspended or injured, the salary will be paid according to the number of appearances.

The incentive clause, the first one, if Tang Qian wins the NBA block leader this season, he can get a team bonus of 100 million US dollars.Second, if Tang Qian averages 10 or more rebounds per game this season, he will receive a team bonus of 50 US dollars.Third, if Tang Qianqian is selected to the first team of the best rookie team this season, he can get a team bonus of 1 million US dollars.Article 100: If Tang Potential is selected to the first team of the All-Defensive Team this season, he will receive a team bonus of 1 million US dollars.If Tang potential is selected to the second team of the All-Defensive Team this season, he will receive a team bonus of $100.

As soon as the content came out, there were heated discussions on major basketball forums and post bars.

"The annual salary is only about 45? What is this? Is the Lakers' bottom annual salary?" Someone immediately stood up and said.

"It's not that bad. There are still two Lakers who also earn about 40 this season, one is Darius Morris and the other is Andrew Goodlock. If we are more strict, including the players who were waived , this season, there are Derek Karakot who received 27 and Gerald Green who has already gone to New Jersey. The latter received even less, only 7. But he also received a 40 His salary is more than 50 US dollars, so to be more realistic, his salary this season exceeds [-] US dollars." A senior basketball fan stood up and replied.

"But the annual salary is 45, which is too little, isn't it? It's far worse than Yidi back then! I remember that Yidi had an annual salary of 2 to 300 million in the first season!"

"You can't compare Yi Di with Tang Ji, because Yi Di is a high-ranking rookie, and his first contract is also a serious NBA rookie contract. This starting point is obviously different from Tang Ji, so it can't be done like this. Compare."

"You are all fighting for the level of this annual salary, but I think those incentive terms are more interesting." A netizen named "I am Wang Xiaoer" left a message and said: "Speaking of an exaggeration, if all these incentive terms can be taken, How much is Tang Ji’s annual salary this season? I figured it out, it’s close to 400 million US dollars, which is much higher than the salary of Emperor Yi back then!”

"Brother above, are you kidding me? It's still close to 400 million US dollars, bah! Most player contracts have this incentive option, okay? But there are very few who can get it! One hundred Thank God that one of the players can get the incentive bonus, do you think Tang Qian can get it all? Let me tell you, the biggest possibility is that Tang Qian won't get even a single incentive bonus!"

"Are incentive bonuses so hard to get? Isn't that tasteless, tasteless to eat, and a pity to discard?"

"Otherwise, what do you think? The team will give you money for nothing? The bosses are not fools, right!"

And at the moment across the ocean, some Lakers fans are discussing this issue.

"I think it's a good deal to sign this Chinese center for 45 knives, and this should give Kupchak extra points!"

"I think so too, at least for the inside of the Lakers, it has a great supplementary effect."

"But it is impossible for a team to hoard so many inside players. According to my opinion, between him and Murphy, one must leave."

"Let's go with Murphy. I'm so disappointed in him. I hoped that he could take over Lamar's class, but how could I know that he has become so decadent! Let's go to another team and make trouble!"

"I don't know if you have noticed, but there are a lot of incentive clauses in China? I counted them, and there are four of them! Aren't you curious about this?"

"What's so curious about this? No matter how many incentive clauses there are, it depends on whether you can get them? I've also read these four. To be honest, I don't think he can complete any of them."

"That's true. Most of the incentive terms are decorations, purely for good looks."

"However, I am still very happy that the Lakers can renew his contract, because judging from these 6 games, he is definitely an efficient substitute. The price of about 45 yuan, the Lakers have made a good profit!"

"But players of the yellow race are prone to injuries. The glass attribute is very scary. I'm afraid that if they can't play a few good games, they will go to the injured list."

"It doesn't matter, buddy, he's just a substitute player anyway, the price of 45, I, the Lakers, can afford to lose."

Compared with the hustle and bustle on the Internet, Tang Qian is currently talking on the phone in his room with his parents who are thousands of miles away.

"Yes, Mom, I have signed a contract with your son, um, nearly 45 US dollars, eh? Yes, yes, I know, I know!" Tang Qian said while wiping his sweat.

"By the way, his father, you can also say a few words, why is it like a gourd? Your son has made a lot of money, why didn't you respond at all?"

After a while, Father Tang's voice came from the phone, saying, "Be careful, don't spend money recklessly."

"Well, I know, Dad." Tang Qian said: "When I get paid, I will remit it to you, so that you can enjoy the happiness too."

"No need. Although your mother and I don't earn much, our daily expenses are enough. You should keep the money for yourself. It's not a bad thing to be alone in the United States with more money." Tang's father had just finished speaking, and Tang's mother He said loudly: "Son, listen to your father, the United States is a capitalist society, you can't have no money! I have to talk to your uncle and aunt about this later, you don't know, they have been talking about fighting What is the future of basketball!"

"Well, okay." Tang Qian said, his uncle and aunt are all people with relatively superior economic conditions, and their son also works in a state-owned enterprise, so they have been "sneering" and "hypocritically polite" at Tang Qian's family. Not less breathless.This time she could change her face, so Tang Qian let her go.

"Oh, by the way, son, since you have already signed the contract, don't work too hard in the following games to avoid injury! Anyway, with these millions, you don't have to worry too much about the future. Come back and be a Small business, opening a small storefront, I think it’s pretty good.” Tang’s mother has always had the idea of ​​“come back after doing one vote”, which made Tang Qian dumbfounded, so he could only hum for a while, and vaguely passed it.

Not long after I hung up the phone, another domestic number called.

Tang Qian looked down, who is this number if not Li Qiuping?He pressed the connect button and said, "Coach Li, hello."

"Little Tang, first of all congratulations, you have officially signed with the Lakers." Li Qiuping said on the phone.

"No, this is all thanks to you, Coach Li. If you hadn't sent me to the United States and funded my training, how could I, Tang Qian, be where I am today? Taking this opportunity, I would like to sincerely say thank you to you!" Tang Qian added: "Also, if you lend me the money, once I pay the salary, I will transfer it to you immediately."

Li Qiuping shook his head and said, "No, this is all the result of your own hard work. I just played the role of a guide, and it's not a big deal."

Tang Qian wanted to say something more, but was preempted by Li Qiuping on the phone: "Little Tang, although you have already entered the gate of the NBA, but don't let it go, become a rotation player, a sixth man, or even a basketball player." The main force of the team is your goal."

"Well, I know, Coach Li, I will not relax." Tang Qian knew that the other party was doing it for his own good, so he listened patiently.

"As for the national team, I will contact you as soon as possible." Li Qiuping said: "After all, you have become an NBA player. This is an extremely powerful weight, and many things will not be so difficult."

"Well, I know, Coach Li, I'll leave the country to you." Tang Qian said.

"It doesn't matter, as a member of Chinese basketball, this is the responsibility on my shoulders." Li Qiuping said: "Okay, then I won't disturb you, there is still a game tonight, work hard!"

"Okay, I will, Coach Li, please excuse me." After finishing speaking, the two hung up the phone.

And almost at the same time, someone from the basketball management center said.

"Have you done what I told you?"

"I'm sorry, Xinguan. Tang Qian can't be contacted for the time being. Few people know his American number."

"Idiot!!!" Xinguan sat in the big chair and yelled loudly: "Aren't you going to contact his parents? Don't his parents have his American number???"

"This..." The man in the suit said: "According to the rules, we are not allowed to harass the family members of the players, otherwise..."

"What bullshit rules!" Xin Guan said angrily, "It's not Li Yuanwei's time anymore! I'll give you another week, if you don't make any progress, get the hell out of here!"

"Understand???"

"Listen, I understand." The man in the suit was breathless, but what can he do?This is the basketball manager, and the first boss is sitting in front of him. He has no other choice but to lower his eyebrows and be pleasing to the eye.

Unless he wants to lose the job.

Seeing the man in the suit backing out obediently, with a gloomy expression on his face, he looked up at the "2012 General Task List" on the wall, and whispered to himself, "This Olympic Games is the best way for me to re-establish my prestige. Opportunities, so any unfavorable factors, I have to rule out!"

"Guarantee eight and fight for four, we must complete it!"

PS: Thank you, Suiyue, for your great reward~~~
