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

"Qi, my child. I want you to be a little harsher with Joshua, he's not a ten-year-old anymore, and even he's able to make a lot of money now. I didn't object to you asking him to drive his ATV back, and I didn't object to the first car you gave him to be a Porsche. He was a kid at the time, and that's all normal. But now that he's a professional footballer, he's made a lot of money himself, and you still have to give him things, which is not good. ”

Mark was a little stressed, and of course he was happy to see that Zipin had been taking care of Joshua all along. Qi Ping is his son-in-law, a billionaire; And Joshua was his son, absolutely biological. In fact, now Joshua can make money even if he becomes a professional player, but in Mark's opinion, he also hopes that Zipin can take care of Joshua more.

But it's good now, my son-in-law is taking care of him too much, and it will make people feel pressured.

"I said in-laws, it's nothing. Joshua is a boy we grew up watching, and he can make some money now, but he has just signed a contract, and the money he can get is very limited. It's better to buy him a house first, and I've seen a lot of news that these new players are renting a house at the beginning. This is not good, you can only play well after you have settled down. ”

Dad spoke, and he was also persuading his in-laws. Sending a house, this is going to give Joshua a house, this is a gift as Joshua becomes a professional player. In fact, it is likely that it will be the last gift Joshua received in Zipin. Whoever made Joshua a professional footballer.

In fact, there is no way to do this. Joshua is a professional footballer though. It looks tall. However, in reality, many players don't make much money in the first place, and Joshua's contract is less than $2 million 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, but in the United States, the income level of the middle class is at the level of 50,000 or 60,000 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 rich.

But athletes eat youth. Especially some ordinary players like Joshua, they are not big stars, so the money they earn is quite limited. And these players receive salaries, but it is difficult to say that they are in place all at once; Renting a house is the mainstream of the life of these new players and rookies who have just received their salaries, and it is true that they are not short of money, but it is still difficult to come up with a sum of money to buy a 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 bit of certainty. Having a house and settling down completely still makes people feel a little more comfortable. What to live in a teammate's house, sleep on a couch or something. It looks very inspiring, but it can be distressing.

"We said yes. It won't cost more than $1,000,000. We're not going to give him a palace, a manor, we just want him to have his own house in Minnesota, and we want him to be able to play better without worrying about things. We all know that he was the best in college; But when he gets into professional sports, he has a lot of pressure. ”

Kate actually still loves Joshua very much, although she now has her own family and children, but that doesn't mean she doesn't care about her brother. Actually giving Joshua a house may seem like a bit over-the-top, but it's also practical; Who made Qi Ping a billionaire, and it is normal to give something good to someone closest to him.

Sending a house worth hundreds of thousands of dollars or something like that, there is really no pressure on Qi Ping; Taking care of his brother-in-law or other relatives is a normal thing for Qi Ping. Qi Ping likes to take good care of his loved ones, which he also considers his responsibility to be.

"Uncle, can I ask for a lot of autographs? My brother told me he wanted your autograph, and he promised to sign for a lot of his classmates. Lying happily in his uncle's arms, the little guy is not an avid baseball fan, but there is no shortage of baseball fans around him.

"Why didn't Benben come to me for an autograph?" Of course, Joshua knows who Xiaoyao's brother is, except for Benben, Xiaoyao is the eldest brother of the forest farm, "I am a good buddy with him, he should come to me to ask for an autograph in person." ”

"My brother wants to study, but my brother doesn't have time. But my brother wants your autograph, I just want everyone's autograph. Uncle, can you give me autographs for all the players on the Twins team? You can't lose anymore, you've all lost the playoff record, and that's bad. ”

The fanatical little fans are naturally happy, and the little guy is very concerned about the Minnesota Twins game after his uncle entered the major leagues. For this team that has set a record of MLB playoff losses and is always eliminated by the Yankees, the little guy really hates the appearance of iron and steel, and is about to surpass the San Diego Padres, the first home team of the little guy.

Lele began to talk to his uncle again, but now Joshua was a little hit; Because his little fans are now starting to defect, Xiao Lele wants autographs from the players of the Twins team and something. I don't care about my uncle's autograph at all, because my uncle's autograph is easy to get, but it's hard to get the autograph of other players.

Even the little ones have now begun to make some requests to their uncle, they don't have much expectation that their uncle will play in MLB, and even just ask their uncle to help them get autographs. These little guys are really powerful, encouraging their uncle to find other players to sign autographs; It's very convenient, because my uncle can play with a lot of players, so you can meet and ask for autographs.

Joshua was trying to explain to the kids that he was going to play, not to make friends or something. But that's not the case with the little ones, who know that their uncle will meet a lot of players, so they can ask for autographs. Anyway, the little ones decided that their uncle could get an autograph when he went to play baseball.

"Guys, I don't think you need to worry about me at all. I know that Minneapolis' economy is very average, and there is no economy in California. The income there is very average, perhaps lower than the national level. Actually, as you all know, I was able to make a lot of money. ”

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

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

Qi Ping said directly that he and Joshua are good buddies, and even a little bit of a bad friend. There is no way, Qi Ping will take his brother-in-law to a bachelor party when he gets married, and Qi Ping still gives Joshua to drink before he is under the legal age. As for what brother-in-law is in love with, Qi Ping often pretends to be a dog-headed military advisor; There is no shortage of ideas and the like, including a small sponsorship of the brother-in-law from time to time.

Joshua rolled his eyes, he admitted that what Qi Ping said was still very reasonable, and the most important thing was that Qi Ping lifted the old bottom, and 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.

I just signed a contract, and I will soon be in a state of no income of hundreds of thousands of dollars; It's normal to buy a $200,000 Ferrari 458, but we're also rich now, and it's the first real salary we've earned in our lives. So this kind of reward is deserved, but at home, it is really disgusted.

The Ferrari 458 did not receive the envy and praise it imagined, and it was the family's first real sports car. Who makes the rich brother-in-law not particularly fond of cars, his good cars are not good, but there are no convertibles.

The first convertible car that pulled the wind, this is a family that has no status; Now Joshua feels that he is still too young, or 'out of place'. No one likes his car, not to mention, and for this wind-pulling car, he has not been buried; It's really disappointing, the world of young people is really not understood by those 'old people' at home.

Qi Ping and Joshua were squeezing their eyebrows, which was a signal to tighten their mouths; No way, Qi Ping knows Joshua's emotional experience very well. Regarding Joshua's degree of devotion, Qi Ping is even more aware of some of Joshua's stories of 'beginning chaos and abandonment', and even Qi Ping has a lot of things to help Joshua out of the siege.

It's better to keep it a little bit; No way, it's better to talk about some topics between buddies. If this is said, Joshua, who is often complained about at home, estimates that he will definitely be rejected even more. Therefore, there are some things that we should talk about on the phone and in private, and it is asking for trouble if we are too high-profile. (To be continued......)
