Chapter 399: How to Spend So Much Money?
In fact, Chen Yu's contract can really give Bill Duffy an explanation.
Before Chen Yu insisted on choosing a domestic sneaker contract, Bill Duffy still had a lot of complaints, and he always felt that Chen Yu's choice might have some problems.
But looking at it now, other aspects aside, at least in terms of the amount of money given to Chen Yu in the sneaker contract, there really is no problem.
That's 75 million, after all!
Fifteen million a year, which is already higher than the contract that the Lakers gave Chen Yu, not to mention the equity in the future.
The previous contract amount to Biklay Thompson was only three million dollars a year!
The price disparity is already quite staggering.
However, according to Chen Yu's current performance, the money is really worth it, this is a win-win thing, it is conceivable, as long as Chen Yu can continue this performance in the future, how many pairs of brand sneakers designed specifically for Chen Yu can be sold? It can even break into the U.S. market.
After all, Chen Yu is not only strong and has good data, but he already has a lot of topics and plots, there are many fans in the United States, and because he is backed by the Lakers and Los Angeles, his popularity and fan stickiness are very high.
So it's really a win-win.
After the matter was temporarily settled, it could be regarded as Chen encountering a heart disease, not that he was expecting to earn much money from it before, mainly as a player, these things need to be managed, and now he has completed one thing.
He feels that this condition is indeed quite generous, after all, even if his performance reaches the level of Kobe James, the income of 15 million US dollars a year is definitely very high.
…… At night, Chen Yu did not hide it, and directly told Elizabeth about it.
In fact, it is impossible to hide this thing, Chen Yu is so popular now, everyone will naturally announce a lot of things in detail.
After hearing this, Elizabeth's mouth opened wide: "Oh my God, so much money! ”
Indeed, the money is already very large.
Now the highest-paid male star in the world is Robert Downey Jr., the star of "Iron Man", and his annual income is only tens of millions of dollars.
Chen Yu's current sneaker contract and the Lakers' salary contract, plus some other endorsement contracts and some other income, can already reach more than 30 million US dollars a year!
So, Elizabeth really thinks it's too much.
"You're so rich!" Elizabeth looked at Chen Yu and said.
Chen Yu smiled: "I always feel that after the money reaches a certain level, it is just a number, and I don't know what the use of so much money is." ”
For him, he really doesn't know what to do with too much money.
After all, he is not like a star like Howard now, he has seven or eight illegitimate children outside, and the annual child support is a jaw-dropping fee, nor is it like a player like Iverson, who is surrounded by a team that is too big, and all kinds of expenses alone are irreparable black holes in a year.
Many NBA stars don't just fight for themselves, he also has to raise a team, players like Iverson have more relatives and friends to help, these guys who have been promoted to heaven by one person, it sounds like they can't spend so much money, but in fact, they can accumulate a lot of money and empty the wallet of a professional player!
What's more, players are always retiring, but their desires have been raised......
But Chen Yu has no problems at all, his biggest expenditure is not only the material cost of the system, but also the cost of maintaining the body, which accounts for more and more weight, and requires more and more money, which has reached the point that ordinary players can't afford it at all, but even so, it is one or two million dollars a year.
He is not the type who was poor when he was a child and became a miser when he grew up, he grew up in a warm and happy environment, and his family had a good relationship with him, so there would be no such problems.
So Chen Yu felt that the money was basically inexhaustible.
Elizabeth shook her head, then said, "Chen, things are not that simple. I'm not telling you this because I want your money, in fact I can state to you that we should separate all of our stuff and I won't use your money! ”
Chen Yu was a little helpless: "Hey, why did you suddenly talk about this?" Do you think I'm going to doubt any of that? Moreover, I'm not that stingy person. ”
"I know. I just wanted to make it clear to you. Elizabeth said, "What I want to tell you is that money is more important than you think!" I know that you are young and ambitious now, your career has just begun, there are too many opportunities in the future, and you have nothing to worry about, money is just a number. Yes, it's all right, but that's just for you right now...... Actually, now you're enjoying all that comes with these things, you're rich, you're a globally renowned basketball player, and it feels like it's going to be like that for a long time! However, you will definitely retire one day, even if you are Michael Jordan, Messi, Ronaldo, you will retire one day! Before you retire, you can fight for your position on the court, but after retirement, it is money that determines your status. ”
"Of course I understand your character, you may think that it is useless to have any status, but this is just your current thoughts, in fact, when you spend more than ten or even twenty years of your career in the NBA, your thinking will definitely change, and you will get used to life in the spotlight, become a person in high society, how much money is not enough to spend, and the gap after retirement will be magnified to a terrible level. What's more, after you will meet more rich people, you will find that your money is completely insufficient in front of them, not to mention, you may also want to have your own basketball team in the future, and then you will find that you don't have enough money at all......"
Elizabeth said a lot of things in one breath, and Chen Yu also understood why she had to declare in advance that she didn't need her own money, because these words belonged to the theory of punishing the heart, and it was easy for Chen Yu to understand that Elizabeth wanted to use herself as a money-making tool, so she brainwashed herself like this.
But at least Chen Yu really listened to these words, because he was saddened to find that what Elizabeth said was true.
Because now Chen Yu is going through such a process of change...... And this process is likely to continue forever.
