Chapter 3 Returning to New York Facing the Family's Choices

After the group had lunch at the Hilton Hotel, Lamar said goodbye to a few people, hurried home to pack his clothes and went to the airport!(To be honest, Lamar ate a little bit in the hotel, the level of the six-star hotel is by no means talkative, the fat and tender Japanese grain beef, and not Angus beef can be compared, plus the chef's perfect cooking skills, if there are not people around, Lamar is estimated to even lick the plate!) After seeing the luxurious life of the super-rich, Lamar was even more determined to get ahead and make a career) This guy was spoiled by a gourmet meal!

At 19:45 in the evening, Lamar appeared at New York's JFK International Airport, Jeff took Lamar's luggage and put it in the back compartment, and took Lamar back to the hotel he rented!

"Lamar, aren't you really going to go home and have a look? I said what the hell do you think? You know, Lisa has called several times to ask about you! I've helped you deal with it for the time being!

"Ahh Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I didn't say anything! It's not that I'm short of money, I guess I haven't seen you for two months, and I miss you! I'm afraid that you will have other thoughts after you become famous! You must know that there are still too many examples like this in the NBA! Who told you that you haven't gotten married yet!"

"Well, I don't want to do that, and I don't know how to deal with her now!

"Could it be that you really have another woman in Los Angeles these days。。。。。。! Jeff was excited.

"No! How is it possible, you don't know, I've been training for the past two months, except for training, I'm nested in my apartment! I haven't even been to a nightclub! I've been suffocating to death lately. After complaining, Lamar stared at Jeff with a scalp-numbing look.

"Wrong ... I was wrong! Lamar, I was really wrong! I shouldn't doubt your dedication, I know, I understand, you are a good man!" Jeff was absolutely stunned, looking at Lamar's ill-intentioned eyes, Jeff knew that as long as he said a wrong word, the beast on the other side would definitely not hesitate to pounce on him and ravage him!

"Speaking of Lamar, in a city of angels like Los Angeles, haven't you even met a beautiful woman who accosted you?" Jeff asked cautiously, still a little skeptical.

"Yes, yes, but unfortunately there is no communication! I still focus on basketball now! Besides, it's better not to touch some flesh and bones, it's a bone scraper! Okay, there's one, Bonnie Jill Lovelin, you know? Absolute beauty! I just met today. Lamar was very proud.

"Who? Bonnie Gil Lashlin, Lakers beauty scout! Wow, why not me? Haha, you guys got it?" Jeff laughed sheepishly.

"No! People won't take a fancy to a rookie like me now! I have no interest in her! Her relationship is not simple! Today we will discuss the issue of endorsement and find a few suitable ones. There's nothing going on tomorrow, so you can arrange for me and Lisa to meet in a quiet place! It's not good to always see and face anyone!" Lamar gritted his teeth, and finally made up his mind, some things are not the way to drag on, it is better to solve them as soon as possible, it is better for everyone!

"Okay! Then let's talk about endorsements first! So far, I have received a total of 11 endorsements, and I feel that the three that I have in my hand are the most suitable for you according to your requirements! There are no good endorsements about sports brands, either the amount is too small, or the time is too long, I have temporarily rejected for you, I believe that with the start of the new season, they will see your value! Haha, Lamar, I am the person who trusts you the most!"

Lamar pouted: "It is said that Humpty Dumpty has signed with adidas, 30 million US dollars for 5 years! I'm no worse than that guy, what is the offer I received?"

"Adidas gave you an offer of $18 million over four years, and Nike's offer was slightly better, and they gave two options: $22 million for four years or $15.6 million for three years! Of course, if you accept it, you can talk to them. The brother-in-law shrugged.

Not long ago, I heard from my master that adidas gave Tracy McGrady a lifetime contract with an annual salary of more than 10 million, and I have to be more than 800+ to do it!

"How's it going, I think the Mentholatum cleanser is good, and the contract for the Philips razor is acceptable! The other two are okay, you can do it yourself!" Jeff gave his advice at the right time.

"Yes, it's all good! Mentholatum 1.2 million US dollars in 1 year, Philips razor 1 million US dollars in 1 year, Eagle Vision sunglasses 850,000 US dollars in 1 year, Gucci men's belt 660,000 US dollars in 1 year! "By the way, Jeff, why don't you see an endorsement contract for Pepsi or Coca-Cola and Gatorade?"

"I'm sorry! Lamar, to tell you the truth, I didn't get it!"

"Shirt, they'll regret it!"

"Well, since Lamar has accepted everything you think is good, then I am ready to sign a contract with them immediately, and I guess you will have to cooperate with them to shoot some promotional advertisements!"

"I know that! I don't have any problems! To be honest, the money is still a bit small, after deducting your share and taxes, I have less than 1.46 million US dollars in hand (this guy also includes the signing fee), and I have to call Baker 500,000 yuan, leaving some for Lisa and Dustini! I really don't have much money myself!" Lamar had a little resentment. (NBA players' agents take a 4% cut of their players' salaries, and commercial commissions are generally 10%-14%).) Jeff is collected according to the minimum standard, but there are more than 300,000 US dollars!

The tax rate varies from state to state in the United States, usually more than 40 percent, but there are also individual states that do not charge personal income tax, and the personal income tax in Los Angeles, where Lamar is located, is about 45%!

"Alright, Lamar, then you can rest early! I'll go back first, I'm going to contact the heads of these four companies right away! I'm responsible for our future!" Jeff got up and said goodbye and went back to his room.

"Jeff, Lisa, I'd better contact it myself! Don't get involved, I was a little inconsiderate just now! You can rest early when you go back!" Lamar still felt a little guilty about Jeff, after all, it was still a little difficult for him to leave his emotional problems to deal with. Jeff waved at Lamar to show that he knew!

After Jeff left, Lamar sat on the couch and closed his eyes and thought slowly! After hesitating for a long time, he picked up the phone next to him and dialed it out.

Doodoo 。。。。。。

"Hey, hello, is that Lamar?" came Lamar's familiar voice on the other end of the phone!

"Lisa, it's me, I'm in New York right now!"

"Yes, that's great, is your training over?" Jeff said you've had a hard time for more than two months!"

"The training is very hard, but the harvest is also huge, I've been in New York for the past few days, staying in a hotel! Are you free tomorrow? Come with Dastini!" Lamar wants to meet Dastini, blood is thicker than water, no matter how to say that Dastini is his only child now!

"I'm free, can I come in the morning?"

"Of course, do you want me to pick you up? Do you and Dustini still live in Old Street in Queens?" Lamar frowned at the thought of living in Old Street, Queens. (The old streets of Queens have always been chaotic, belonging to the mixed places, full of darkness and violence, in his previous life in 2006 when he was in Queens, New York, he was pointed to the head at gunpoint, robbed of his watch and cash, and then shot)

"Yes, I'll come by myself, I have a car!" Lisa didn't want Lamar to go back to Queens, after all, most of Lamar's former fox friends were also in this place, and no one knew if something would happen to Lamar when he came!

"Is it okay for you to be on your own? You can do this! Pack up in the evening, get the money and the necessary things, come to the hotel tomorrow, and stay in the hotel first! Don't want those jars! It's not worth much anyway!" Lamar thought about it for a moment and suggested Lisa. (Anyway, Lisa is her own woman, and she gave birth to Dustini for herself)

"But, Lamar, I'。。。。。。。。。 Lisa looked hesitant.

"Don't worry, it's settled! I'll be responsible for your life in the future, and now I'm starting to have a little money!" Lamar was still very decisive at this time, he knew what Lisa was hesitating! (Even if he broke up with Lisa in the end, he still had the obligation to take care of his first girlfriend and the child's mother!)

"Lamar, I listen to you!Lamar, I miss you!" Lisa was a little emotional.

"Hmm。。。。。。。。 Lisa, I've missed you and Dustini a little too!But we'll see each other tomorrow!" Lamar hesitated, but couldn't bear to hurt Lisa's heart right now, and told a little lie.
