Chapter 45 A $[-] million gamble
Quit football?
The stakes are high enough!
But I won't be afraid anymore!

"Okay, what's the gambling method?" Tang Qian asked.

"What kind of bet? Let's bet who can earn [-] million US dollars first. How about it? Do you dare?"

"What? Bill Sagat, your bet is unfair!" Taylor spoke before Tang Qian, and said, "You are already a professional player in the NFL, and you have already signed a rookie contract. 3 million US dollars in three years, this kind of bet is simply impossible for Tang!"

$3 million in 1200 years?
Can NFL rookies get such high salaries?
Tang Qian was slightly shocked in his heart.

Of course, this is because Tang Qian does not understand the contract mechanism of the NFL. Although the Houston Texans offered Bill Sagat a seemingly high-value contract, anyone who is familiar with the NFL will understand that the $1200 million Bill Sagat may not be able to get enough.why?This has something to do with the NFL's player contract system. Before 1994, the NFL also had a lot of big premium contracts, but after 1994, the NFL began to implement a hard salary cap, the English name is Hardcap. From this year onwards, the total annual player salary cap of any team cannot exceed Hard salary cap.This is obviously different from the NBA's soft salary cap system. No matter whether your team owner has money or not, and whether you are willing to pay the luxury tax, the salary of the NFL team cannot exceed this upper limit.But if you want to squeeze the team players without limit, there is no way, because there is Salary.floor, the salary floor, which will protect the basic rights and interests of the players.So what does that have to do with Bill Sagat's $1200 million?There is a relationship, and the relationship is getting bigger.

In order to enhance the strength of the team and not exceed the limit of the league's hard salary cap, the NFL's team management and uniform team have racked their brains and brains.In order to deal with the league's hard salary cap restrictions, NFL teams began to vigorously introduce strategies that combine guaranteed contracts with non-guaranteed ones.Take Bill Sagat's three-year $3 million, which is different from the NBA's three-year $1200 million. The former's guaranteed salary is only about 3 million, and the remaining 1200 million is a non-guaranteed salary.If you want to get this part of the non-guaranteed salary, it depends on Bill Sagat's performance on the court.

And when you get here, it's not over yet. Do you think you can get enough money after the guarantee part is finalized?
NoNoNo~
The wages of the guarantee part are also subdivided into the complete guarantee part and other guarantee parts.What is the full protection part?The fully guaranteed part is basically similar to the NBA player contract. As long as you sign this contract, even if you play a game and get reimbursed for the season, then you can still get the full amount of the money.So what are other guarantees?After you sign the contract, you need to meet certain conditions in the contract. Only when these conditions are met, you can get this part of the guaranteed salary.But for NFL players, the most popular part is Signing. bonus, which is the signing bonus.Because the signing bonus, as the name suggests, is the part of the salary that you can get immediately after signing the contract.Like Bill Sagat's contract, his signing bonus is a full $200 million, which is also one of the fastest contract salaries he can get.

As for the entire $1200 million, due to the cruelty of NFL competition, the layoff rate of this league is much higher than that of the NBA. Once the team is laid off due to performance and other issues, let alone $1200 million, it is considered as the guarantee part of 700. Wan, whether you can take it all is a question.Of course, as the leader of the evil capitalism, the old Americans also know that there are policies and countermeasures. If you are the absolute core of the team, then the team can reconstruct the contract for you, and even come up with a One point of salary and nine points of signing bonus are all right.But this treatment, the current Bill Sagat doesn't even think about it, he hasn't reached that level yet.

So don't look at the scary price of Bill Sagat's contract, but in fact, if there are professionals present, it will definitely reduce his value by about half, turning him into an ordinary contract that no one feels.

But these things, Tang Qian just came to the United States, and he didn't understand at all, so after hearing Bill Sagat's worth, he was shocked and a little surprised.

Bill Sagat ignored Taylor's words, just stared at Tang Qian with a pair of eyes and said, "How is it? Orientals, just tell me whether you dare or not!"

"Don, don't agree to him, he's already mentally out of order! You don't need to care about such a bad bet." Taylor Swift was afraid of Tang Qian's impulsiveness, so he quickly turned to Tang Qian to persuade him.

"Are you sure you want to bet like this?" Tang Qian first smiled at Taylor beside him, then turned his head and asked.

"Are you talking nonsense? I'm not sure why I brought it up? Don't delay the time, just say to bet or not to bet!!!" Bill Sagat said aggressively, for a person who is still struggling in NBDL " As far as "trash", he has absolute confidence to win a big victory.

Let Tang Qian ruin even the "future"! ! !

"Very good, for your sincerity, I accept it." Tang Qian looked at Bill Sagat for a few seconds, then grinned.

This smile instantly made Bill Sagat feel uncomfortable.

He didn't understand, where did this Oriental man get his confidence and courage? ? ?

"Don, you..."

"Anxin, for this kind of fat fly looking for trouble, if I don't just slap him on the wall, it won't relieve my anger at all." Seeing that Taylor was about to say more, Tang Qian smiled and said calmly: "Don't you believe in yourself?" boyfriend?"

After finishing speaking, Tang Qian shouted loudly in all directions: "Ladies and gentlemen, for this bet tonight, please also bear witness for the two of us, so that in the future, some people will deliberately deny it and deny it on purpose. "

"No problem, Oriental, I am Benedict Cumberbatch, and I am willing to be a witness for you!"

"I, Taylor Lautner, would also like to be a witness for you!"

"Hi, how can I miss out on such a fun thing, Lady. Gaga? Count me in too!"

In an instant, the entire private hall became lively. Under Tang Qian's instigation, celebrities one by one began to voluntarily join this huge team of witnesses.And it can be roughly seen that most of the people present are implicitly supporting Tang Qian's side.

Sympathy for the weak is also a natural feeling in the United States where capitalism is corrupt. At least in their view, compared with Bill Sagat, Tang Qian, an Oriental, is obviously in a weak position and is in an extremely passive position.

But even so, this oriental man bravely accepted the challenge and accepted the bet. This courage, this scene, cannot be avoided.

Maybe this scene is nothing in a movie with all kinds of surprises at the moment.

However, in real life, that kind of stimulation, that kind of sense, instantly became unparalleled.

Countless celebrities were "YY" in their hearts. The two athletes, on the eve of the awards, confronted each other for Taylor Swift. The go-to headline for frills and entertainment news.Maybe "Vanity Fair" will include it!
It's a pity that there is no way for such a "big exclusive" to be made public.

Even if someone let go in the future and told the story of today's scene, people will only treat it as "off-the-wall history talk", at most they will laugh, and no more than [-]% of people will believe it.There is no other reason. In the entertainment industry, there are countless gossips, but almost none of them actually happened. The hype is too much. Under this general trend, people will believe it, so there is a ghost .

"Hmph, Dongfang, you have the guts, but it's a pity that having the guts doesn't mean you can win! How can you compare to me as a 'trash' player who plays NBDL? You will definitely regret this decision tonight, I promise!" Tang Qian's reaction obviously did not meet Bill Sagat's expectations. He thought that the other party would shirk left and right, and it would be difficult to step down, but Tang Qian actually agreed!In this way, even if Bill Sagat wanted to take back his harsh words, he couldn't take back.

No, why should I take it back?

He agreed?Isn't that better?Although he seems to be very brave now, but when the result comes out, it will be his end! ! !

snort! ! !You are looking for death! ! !Then no wonder I'm Bill Sagat! ! !

The shame I suffered tonight will be doubled in the future! ! !

"So what about those who play NBDL? You don't care what I do. Anyway, in the end, it just depends on who can earn [-] million U.S. dollars first. The rest is nonsense." Then Tang Qian will naturally accompany him.

If I can't defeat you under the "Different Dimension" in my body, then I don't deserve it if I lose everything! ! !

I, Tang Qian, took this bet! ! !

"you……"

"Since you are so confident, let's make a bigger bet. The loser will not only quit the football world, but all the salary in his career will be controlled by the other party, how about it?" Bill Sagat said viciously. Said.

"You are going to kill them all! But I agree, because I hate you too! I just hope you don't make too little money, otherwise I won the bet, and there are not many prizes!" Tang Qian Calmly counterattacked, he really felt disgusted with this Bill Sagat.

Aren't you going to push me into a corner?That’s right, it happened to cut off my remaining compassion!

I, Tang Qian, promise that I will let you know what it means to be in a cocoon! ! !

"Okay, I don't want to hear another word from you. Do you still remember our game agreement just now? The door is over there, so I can leave." Tang Qian saw that the fat short man was still talking nonsense, so he immediately said first.

"What? Do you have amnesia? Or, do you want to keep the agreement intact and get out of here???"

"You..." Because of losing the game, Bill Sagat didn't have much confidence to argue with Tang Qian. Just as he was furious, Justin Bieber pulled him and said, "Let's go, Bill , tonight's venue, we will double ask for it back in the future!"

"Hmph, let's go!" In fact, if Justin Bieber didn't say anything, Bill Sagat would have no face to stay any longer. The former's words just gave him a step down.He opened his eyes wide, glared at Tang Qian fiercely, and then followed Justin Bieber into the private hall without looking back.

"Phew, all right, beautiful Ms. Taylor, I've done what I said, and the flies have been driven away." After seeing Bill and Justin both leave the private hall, Tang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled slightly at Taylor Swift.

PS: In fact, the contract rules of the NFL are more than that. In the entire competitive sports, its complexity and changeability are absolutely extremely rare.For example, in the insurance part, there are special policies for injuries and economical levels. In short, Xiao Zi wrote it just to let everyone know a little bit. After all, Bill behind him still has a very important role~~~
