America's Mountains Are King

Chapter 451

"I can guarantee that this is my last gift to Joshua, I can absolutely guarantee it." Qi Ping almost swore to the sky now, although the whole family looked distrustful.

"Qi, my boy. I wish you were tougher on Joshua. He's not a ten-year-old anymore. He's even making a lot of money now. When you asked him to drive the dune buggy I have no objection when I come back. The first car you gave him in his life was a Porsche. I have no objection. He was a child at that time, which was normal. But now he has become a professional player and he has made a lot of money himself. It’s not good if you still have to give him something after the money is gone.”

Mark is under a lot of pressure, of course he is very happy to see that Qi Ping has been taking good care of Joshua.Qi Ping is his son-in-law, a billionaire; and Joshua is his son, absolutely biological.In fact, Joshua can make money even if he becomes a professional player, but in Mark's view, he also hopes that Qiping can take more care of Joshua.

But now it's a good thing, my son-in-law is taking too much care of him, it will put pressure on people.

"I said in-laws, it's nothing. We watched Joshua grow up. He can make some money now, but he just signed a contract, and the money he can get is very limited, right? It would be better to buy him a house first, and I saw a lot of news saying that these new players rented houses at the beginning.

Dad opened his mouth, and he was also persuading his in-laws.To give a house, this is to give Joshua a house, which is a gift for Joshua to become a professional player.In fact, it is very likely that it will become the last gift Joshua received in Qiping. Whoever made Joshua has become a professional player.

In fact, there is no way to do this. Although Joshua has become a professional player, he looks tall.But in fact, many players don't earn much money at the beginning. Joshua's contract is less than 200 million U.S. dollars for three years, and this is not fully guaranteed.

This is already very good. Although the United States claims to be the most economically developed country, the income level of the middle class in the United States is only [-] to [-] US dollars.So in this way, Joshua is already at the level of a millionaire. In fact, this is quite a good income, and he is a rich man.

But athletes eat their youth, especially some mediocre players like Joshua. They are not big stars, so the money they earn is quite limited.Moreover, these players receive salaries, but it is difficult to say that they are in place at one time; renting houses is the mainstream of life for these new players and rookies who have just received their salaries. It is true that they do not lack money, but it is still difficult to come up with a sum of money. buy house.

Qi Ping doesn't want his brother-in-law to suffer, it's okay to rent a house, but sometimes he still needs a little certainty.Having a house and settling down thoroughly will still make people feel a little more comfortable.Living in a teammate's house, sleeping on a sofa, etc. seems very inspirational, but it will make people feel distressed.

"We agreed that it will not exceed 100 million US dollars. We will not give him a palace or manor. We just hope that he can have his own house in Minnesota. We hope that he will not need to worry about some things, so that he can be better. Playing well. We all know he was the best in college; but when he gets to the pros, he's going to have a lot of pressure."

In fact, Kate still loves Joshua very much. Although she now has her own family and children, it doesn't mean she doesn't care about her brother.In fact, giving Joshua a house seems to be quite over the top, but it is also very practical; who makes Qi Ping a billionaire, and it is normal to give some good things to the closest people.

There is really no pressure for Qi Ping to give a house worth hundreds of thousands of dollars; it is normal for Qi Ping to take care of his brother-in-law or other relatives .Qi Ping likes to take good care of his relatives, which is also his responsibility.

"Uncle, can I ask for a lot of autographs? My brother told me that he wants your autograph, and he promised to autograph many of his classmates." Xiaoyao happily lay in his uncle's arms, the little guy is not a fanatic baseball fans, but there is no shortage of baseball fans around him.

"Why didn't Benben come to ask me for an autograph?" Of course, Joshua knew who Xiaoyao's brother was. Apart from Benben, Xiaoyao was the eldest brother of the forest farm. "He and I are very good buddies. He should Come find me for your autograph."

"My brother wants to study. I don't have time. But my brother wants your autograph. I just want everyone's autograph. Uncle, can you give me the autographs of all the players of the Twins? You can't lose the game anymore, you guys." They've already lost their playoff records, and that's not good."

The fanatical little fans are naturally Lele. The little guy has been very concerned about the Minnesota Twins game since his uncle entered the major leagues.For this team that created the MLB playoff losing streak and was always eliminated by the Yankees, the little guy really hates iron and steel, and is about to surpass the little guy's first home team, the San Diego Padres. .

Lele started chatting with his uncle again, but now Joshua was hit a little bit; because his little fans are starting to rebel now, and what little Lele wants is the signatures of players from the Twin Cities.I don't care about my uncle's signature at all, because my uncle's signature is easy to get, but other players' signatures are hard to get.

Even the little guys have started to make some requests to their uncles now. They don't have much expectations for their uncles to play in MLB, and they even just ask their uncles to help them get autographs.These little guys are really good, and encouraged my uncle to find other players to sign; this is very convenient, because uncle can play with many players, so he can meet and ask for autographs.

Although Joshua is trying to explain to the children that he is going to compete, not to make friends or something.But in the eyes of the little guys, this is not the case. They know that uncle will meet many players, so they can ask for autographs.Anyway, the little guys decided that if uncle went to play baseball, he could get an autograph.

"Guys, I don't think you need to worry about me at all. I know the economy in Minneapolis is average. It doesn't have the economy in California. The income there is average, maybe below the national level. Actually As you all know, I can make a lot of money."

Joshua still has a bit of a headache, although it is great to have a house of his own in Minneapolis; but now he is 20 years old, but he is still a child in the eyes of his family.So it was a headache at this time, because Joshua felt that he was actually very powerful, and he was not a child who had not grown up.

"Your little money is not enough for you to buy a car. Don't think I don't know that you have bought a new car. You haven't received your salary yet, so you bought a Ferrari, which is almost half your salary. .If I don't buy you a house, your income in the first year will be used to pay off the car loan. You are a professional player now, and your usual expenses are not small. Your income is really not enough .”

Qi Ping said directly that he and Joshua are good buddies, even a little bit bad friends.No way, Qi Ping would take his brother-in-law to the bachelor party when he got married, and Qi Ping still gave Joshua a drink when he was under the legal age.As for what his brother-in-law is dating and so on, Qi Ping often pretends to be a dog-headed military adviser;

Joshua rolled his eyes. He admitted that what Qi Ping said was very reasonable. The most important thing was that Qi Ping had turned his back on him. He must be criticized.Although there is a consumption concept of "spending tomorrow's money" here in the United States, many Americans also have some concept of saving money.

I just signed a contract, and immediately I am in a state of no income of hundreds of thousands of dollars; buying a Ferrari 458 worth two hundred thousand dollars is a very normal thing, anyway, we are also rich now, and this is still our life The first real wages earned.So this kind of reward is justified, but at home it was really disgusted and hit.

Driving the cool Ferrari 458 did not get the envy and praise as imagined. Speaking of which, this is the first real sports car in the family.Why does the rich brother-in-law not like cars very much? He has a lot of good cars, but he doesn't have a convertible.

The first cool convertible, it had no place in the family; now Joshua feels he's still too young, or 'out of place'.Not to mention that no one likes his car, and he has been buried because of this cool car; it is really disappointing, the world of young people is really something that the 'old people' at home don't understand.

Qi Ping and Joshua are winking, which is to signal that the tone should be tighter; there is no way, Qi Ping knows Joshua's emotional experience very well.As for Joshua's fickleness, Qi Ping is even more aware of some of Joshua's "chaos and abandonment" stories, and even Qi Ping has a lot of things to help Joshua out of the siege.

This, it is better to keep it a little bit; there is no way, some topics are better to chat with buddies.If this was revealed, Joshua, who was often complained at home, reckoned that he would be ostracized even more.Therefore, we should talk about some things on the phone or in private. Too high-profile is asking for trouble.
