Wang Xiao's return to China is not entirely for vacation, and there is also a very important thing to do.

From July to the end of November, it's close to 5 months, which is a little too long for a holiday.

Taking advantage of this rare vacation, Wang Xiao wanted to do something he had planned for a long time.

After rejecting all interviews and event invitations, Wang Xiao returned home and rested quietly for two weeks, relaxing and accompanying his parents.

Two weeks later, Wang Xiao called Da Yao.

Receiving Wang Xiao's call, Da Yao was quite surprised, and what surprised him even more was what Wang Xiao said on the phone.

After the NBA was suspended, Wang Xiao returned to China, which is something that everyone knows, and many media wanted to ask Wang Xiao to do an exclusive interview, but all of them were rejected by Wang Xiao.

At that time, Da Yao still felt very strange, although Wang Xiao's job was a basketball coach, but because he led the Wizards team to achieve excellent results for two consecutive years, and even led the team to the finals this year, which made Wang Xiao's popularity in China grow day by day, and now he is almost the most well-known figure in the domestic basketball circle in addition to Da Yao, Yi Jianlian and other players.

Accepting more media interviews to increase exposure is beneficial and harmless for Wang Xiao, there is no need to refuse, if there is something okay, but Wang Xiao does not have any itinerary, which is a little strange.

Now receiving a call from Wang Xiao, Da Yao suddenly realized.

"I see, I didn't expect you to want to run a basketball camp!"

Wang Xiao smiled, "It's rare to have such an opportunity, and I also want to see if I can cultivate one or two good seedlings for the country, and I can succeed you as the pillar of the national team in the future." ”

As soon as Da Yao heard this, he couldn't help but get a little excited.

Who is Wang Xiao? Ghost Coach! The first basketball coach in Asia!

He is willing to hold a basketball training camp to train players, which is a great thing for the whole of China!

Although he has been coaching in the NBA for just two seasons, Wang Xiao's vision for drafting, the method of cultivating players, and his unique tactical concept seem to be even ahead of the NBA!

You know, the NBA is the center of basketball in the world and represents the highest temple of basketball!

"That's great, is there anything I can do to help?"

As the first person in Chinese basketball, Da Yao has always attached great importance to the development of Chinese basketball, and he believes that he also has such an obligation.

Of course, Wang Xiao needs Da Yao's help, in fact, as a coach in the United States, Wang Xiao's connections in China are almost equal to zero, and holding a basketball training camp is not something that can be done with lip service.

The training venue, a variety of professional training equipment, coaching trainers...... All of this needs to be prepared.

In addition to this, there is also the most important point, which is popularity, or appeal.

Although Wang Xiao is well-known in China, he is far less well-known than Da Yao.

He runs basketball camps, and only a small number of people can know the news and sign up.

Wang Xiao wants to borrow Da Yao's fame and appeal to let more basketball lovers know and come to participate.

"I can afford to rent the venue and hire people." On the phone, Wang Xiao said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "But if you ask you to be the spokesperson's endorsement fee, I can't afford it." ”

Now Wang Xiao is a little rich.

But Wang Xiao still can't afford the endorsement fee of a big coffee of Da Yao's level.

Holding a basketball training camp, Wang Xiao is ready to invest directly for Ai Power, and he is not ready to charge fees such as registration fees.

Because of the training camp itself, from a certain point of view, it is also for Wang Xiao to screen suitable candidates for the use of growth template cards, which is also out of a certain selfishness.

And he can't afford the small amount of money that organizes training to generate money from tuition.

When he first joined the Wizards, Wang Xiao signed a two-year, $3 million annual contract with the Wizards, and before the contract expired around May this year, Grunfield brought Wang Xiao a new contract extension with a three-year contract and an annual salary of $6 million.

The annual salary of $6 million is equivalent to doubling directly on the original basis, although this salary is only a mid-level contract among players, but among coaches, it can also rank in the upper reaches of the 30 teams in the league.

Wang Xiao has only been coaching in the NBA for two seasons, and even if he has an excellent record, such a salary is very generous.

When the contract extension was signed, Grenfield's face was ugly, and the team renewed the contract with Wang Xiao for 3 years, which means that he will continue to endure this guy's criticism of his team for the next three years.

But no matter how unhappy he was, he could only watch Wang Xiao sign his name on the renewal contract.

At the end of the day, this team belongs to the team owner, Ted. Leonsis instead of him Grunfield, this contract extension was also drawn up at the behest of Leonsis, and he had no choice.

……

Regardless of the annual salary of 6 million US dollars in the new contract, in the first two seasons alone, Wang Xiao's annual salary was 3 million US dollars, 6 million in two years, excluding various taxes, as well as various living expenses and money for honoring his parents, Wang Xiao's deposit in his bank card at this time was as high as more than 20 million life coins, a proper multi-millionaire.

Wang Xiao also thought about making some investments, such as investing in Apple, Alibaba, Twitter, Facebook, and other companies whose market value will rise sharply in the future.

But Wang Xiao was just an ordinary player before the crossing, and he didn't know much about these, and he usually focused on basketball most of the time, and he didn't have much energy to manage his finances.

Wang Xiao plans to hire a broker on Wall Street in the future, using his advantage as a traverser to make some investments, but now is not the time.

(After thinking about it carefully, as a traverser, it's too stupid not to use the advantage of foresight to make some money, it's simply a plot bug, the simplest example is that the house price in the capital was only more than 20,000 square meters in 11 years, and now it has more than doubled, and buying a house without doing anything is sure to make a profit, not to mention that there are many companies that can invest.) But after all, this is basketball, and I don't want to describe too much about things other than basketball, so I'll briefly mention it. ）

……

"What is this called? You are doing a good deed for the Chinese basketball community, can I still ask for your endorsement fee? As soon as Yao Ming heard Wang Xiao's words, he was immediately unhappy. I am also from Huaxia, and I want to do something for Huaxia! Don't worry, this matter will be on me, and it will definitely be done to your satisfaction! ”

Da Yao's energy in China is quite large, and in just one afternoon, he called Wang Xiao back.

"I've contacted a lot of stadiums and they've all said they're happy to lend out the stadium, where are you going to hold the camp, capital? Shanghai? Or other cities. ”

Wang Xiao thought for a while, and then said, "Then it's in the capital." ”
