Chapter 211: A New Contract
Ye Xuan was dragged by Shen Wei to walk around The Keystone Fashion Mall in this way, Ye Xuan, who was carrying more than ten or twenty shopping bags in both hands, had several bags hanging on his arms, but just like that, he still couldn't satisfy Shen Wei's shopping desire. After finally throwing all these things into his Land Rover, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel that he was too witty, and he didn't drive his own Enzo, otherwise the small space of the sports car would not be enough to install it.
However, after stuffing things into the car, the two did not rush to go home directly, but had a dinner together on the spot, yes, you heard it wrong, it was dinner. Before they knew it, the two had been in the mall for a full 7 or 8 hours, plus the time of driving and the like, the two had been out from 10 in the morning, and now it was past 6 in the evening.
The two of them finished dinner, and then they ended the day's shopping trip, and after this trip, they could be regarded as having all the things that Ye Xuan usually didn't wear at all. What kind of suit and tie, what kind of leather shoes, what kind of top hat and the like, are completely clothes that Ye Xuan basically can't use, in the past, Ye Xuan put all these things in the "pretending tools", but now he has begun to buy these special things for pretending.
And most of these things are still bought for Shen Wei, all kinds of evening dresses, ball dresses, small suits, Gauguin shoes, and most importantly, bags... After shopping around this day, Ye Xuan understood how terrifying a woman's shopping desire was, and the space behind the entire Land Rover was crammed to the brim.
After returning home, Shen Wei finally remembered some serious things. "By the way, Yezi, the day after tomorrow, your general manager Kevin Pritchard came to you to talk about renewing the contract, and you remember to go with me to meet him when the time comes."
And Ye Xuan was also stunned at this time, because he didn't know who Kevin Pritchard was at all, and Ye Xuan couldn't be blamed, because from the beginning of his entry into the team, he was in contact with the old man Larry Bird, including Ye Xuan's contract was also signed with Big Bird. Even in ordinary communication, Bird still refers to himself as the general manager, so Ye Xuan didn't know that the old man didn't continue to serve as the general manager of the Pacers, and he stopped holding this position a long time ago.
So when Ye Xuan heard Shen Wei say this, he immediately asked with a confused face, "Kevin Pritchard, who is he?" Isn't the general manager an old man? I signed my current contract with him. ”
Shen Wei also looked helpless, "Didn't you seriously study who the top management of your team is?" Mr. Bird is not the general manager, but the president of the team. ”
"I haven't really studied this, but I heard that the boss used to be a pair of brothers, and the eldest brother has passed away?"
Shen Wei had no choice but to explain to Ye Xuan, "Kevin Pritchard used to be the general manager of the Trail Blazers, and I heard that it was quite powerful, Roy, Aldridge and Oden were all players he advocated to select, and Fernandez and Batum were also players he replaced in the past, and his ability should still be very good, but then I didn't know what Paul Allen thought, so he directly copied him." ”
So the owner immediately called him in, and in July 2011, Pritchard joined the Indiana Pacers as their head of player personnel. Soon after, he was promoted to general manager in June 2012, replacing his predecessor, David Mowe. So, the matter of your new contract, it should be that he came to talk to you. ”
Two days later, Ye Xuan took Shen Wei to the general manager's room of the stadium, Pritchard was very enthusiastic, and greeted the two of them warmly after welcoming them into the office, "Hey, Ye, and Miss Shen, what do you want to drink?" Coffee or tea? ”
"Hello Mr. Kevin, please give us two cups of tea, thank you. By the way, I think I have one year left on my contract, so why are you asking me to renew it now? ”
"Haha my Mr. FMVP, of course we want to keep you with the Pacers forever, so of course we want to renew your contract early, in fact, we are here with sincerity, we can provide you with a maximum salary contract to meet your salary requirements."
"Okay Kevin, let me see what kind of contract you have in store for me."
Pritchard didn't take out the sample of the contract directly, but verbally described the general content of the contract to Ye Xuan, "Okay, Ye." We have prepared a four-year contract for you with a contract amount of $6800W. When Ye Xuan heard this offer, he immediately felt a little unhappy. After all, he is now a champion, and he is also the MVP of the Finals, the Pacers' offer to himself looks pretty good, but the annual salary of 1700W is still a bit low for the annual salary after next year.
Seeing that Ye Xuan was not very satisfied with this contract, Pritchard immediately explained, "Actually, our plan is like this, aren't you still carrying a contract with an insecure base salary, as long as you agree to our current offer, we will directly lay you off, and then sign a new contract with you, so that we will pay your salary of 6800W for 4 years, which can effectively avoid some luxury tax, and you will not have any loss, because if you calculate it in this way, Your annual salary is actually more than 2250W per year. ”
Ye Xuan thought about it for a while, indeed, this non-guaranteed basic salary contract on his body is indeed a point that can be used well, if he accepts the current offer of the Pacers, although it seems that he has reduced the price, after all, the average annual salary is only 1700W. But in fact, I just divided the 3-year salary into 4 years, and it seems that the 2250W annual salary is not bad. So after thinking about it for a while, Ye Xuan decided to agree to this contract.
"Okay Kevin, that sounds pretty good, but you're going to have to give me some add-ons, like getting the regular season MVP or winning another championship or something, do you have to give me some rewards or something?"
"Hahahaha, Ye, it's good if you agree, so if you can lead the team to win the championship again, how about you be able to get an additional 200W bonus? Honestly, our focus is now entirely on renewing your contract, so it saves us a lot of things to be able to readily agree to this offer. ”
Ye Xuan shrugged, "Actually, I'm also a person who is afraid of trouble, so since I can win with the team, then why shouldn't I?"
