After the draft is fully completed, the next step is to sign players and teams.

The Los Angeles Galaxy offered Chen Lin a fairly ordinary two-year contract, and the first professional contract that a draft player can get is two years, and these two years are considered a probationary period, and players who perform well during the probationary period can get a better professional contract after two years, while players who do not perform well may have no choice but to end their careers.

Major League Soccer is brutal, and while few players in the past drafts have finished their careers after just two years, the underwhelming players have managed to make ends meet with the team's meagre earnings.

Major League Soccer's current minimum salary is $36,500, which is the annual salary for most draft players, and only those who were drafted in the first round are likely to receive a little more than that.

The LA Galaxy offers Chen Lin an annual salary of $48,500, which is equivalent to the minimum level of an adult player, who in this case refers to those who are over the age of 25.

$48,500, this salary is quite good for Chen Lin, who has just joined MLS, but it has to be compared with what, if it is compared with Chen Lin's value in the rugby league, it will definitely not be comparable.

You must know that Chen Lin got an annual salary of 120,000 US dollars in the San Diego Lightning last year, and after he successfully became the most potential kicker in the football league, the San Diego Lightning immediately prepared a contract with an annual salary of 800,000 yuan for him, and those other football teams who wanted to get Chen Lin threw a big temptation ~ to Chen Lin.

Some teams even offered Chen Lin a contract worth a total of $8 million for five years, $1.6 million per year, which is more than 30 times the annual salary Chen Lin now receives with the Los Angeles Galaxy!

※※※

When the reporters of the media saw the figure representing the annual salary on Chen Lin's contract, they couldn't help laughing, this is a typical schadenfreude, hum, you Chen Lin don't want to play football, don't you want to betray the rugby league to join the major football league, this is your end!

How stupid would it take for someone to do such a thing in the Football League, but to go to the Major League Soccer to get a salary of $48,500......

The reporters and fans who were still a little unhappy because Chen Lin was selected by the Los Angeles Galaxy team, when they saw this number, their hearts immediately felt happy.

And when they continued to look and saw that Chen Lin frowned and refused to sign his name on the contract, the hearty feeling was gone.

The staff in charge of signing the LA Galaxy also saw Chen Lin's hesitation, but they would not increase Chen Lin's salary because of his hesitation, maybe Chen Lin could easily get an annual salary of $1.6 million in the football league, but in the major football league, in the LA Galaxy, Chen Lin is only worth $48,500.

This is still an offer made by the LA Galaxy after gritting their teeth and being ruthless, and there are still two gods to support in their team, Beckham and Langdon Donovan, and the two of them account for more than 90% of the salary of the entire LA Galaxy team.

Although the LA Galaxy was the first team in the MLS to make a profit, they weren't having a good time, and no team in any league was having a good time when Major League Soccer as a whole continued to lose money.

"That's the highest salary we can offer you, and even though you're worth a lot more on the rugby pitch, you still have to keep proving yourself on the football pitch......

The LA Galaxy staff tried to persuade Chen Lin to sign the contract as soon as possible, but Chen Lin heard him speak out loud and just waved his hand and signaled him not to disturb him.

The helpless staff could only close their mouths, he fully understood Chen Lin's hesitation, after all, it was more than thirty times the difference, from 1.6 million to 48,500 yuan, such a gap was too big, maybe they should give Chen Lin a little more time and let him digest it well.

But is Chen Lin hesitating? He is not the kicker Chen Lin who can really get an annual salary of 1.6 million, so there is really nothing to hesitate about.

The reason why Chen Lin did not sign the contract for a long time was because he was silently calculating how much money he should have if he converted a total of 48,500 US dollars into RMB......

Chen Lin, who has just arrived in the United States, does not have much concept of the US dollar, and he still habitually converts it into RMB when he sees or hears about it.

However, such a big number problem is too difficult for Chen Lin, who has always been a mathematical idiot, and he doesn't even know what the exchange rate is between the dollar and the yuan.

After thinking for a while, Chen Lin didn't get any answer, then he calmly took out his mobile phone, turned on the function of the calculator on the phone, and entered 48,500 times 8 on it-Chen Lin only remembered that he had heard a long time ago that 1 dollar was equivalent to almost 8 yuan, and he didn't know how long ago the exchange rate was......

Looking at the 388000 displayed on his mobile phone, Chen Lin suddenly laughed, and then he happily signed his English name on the contract - LinChen.

Chen Lin's actions made the reporters who were paying attention to him around him stunned, they really didn't know what Chen Lin was happy about, but there were also reporters who were interested in seeing the calculations made by Chen Lin on his mobile phone.

What does it mean when 48,500 is multiplied by 8 and the result is 388,000 yuan? Could it be that Chen Lin is calculating how much money he can earn in eight years, which is only less than 400,000, which is not as good as the salary he earned in three months in the rugby league, what is there to be happy about?

The reporters would never have thought that Chen Lin was happy that he could earn about 400,000 yuan a year, 400,000 yuan a year, which was like a dream for Chen Lin, who had never seen money.

"400,000 yuan a year, this is definitely enough for me to spend in the United States for a year, and even I can live well." Chen Lin was quite happy when he thought of this, he directly made up the 380,000 to 400,000, for a digital idiot, the number 400,000 is much easier to remember than 380,000......

Chen Lin stood there smirking after signing the contract, but the onlookers were all blinded by him, and they didn't even know whether Chen Lin was stupid or he was stupid.

Is forty-eight thousand five hundred a lot, more than one hundred and sixty thousand?

Also, what does Chen Lin's 48,500 yuan multiply by eight mean, and what is the special meaning of the number 388,000?

The reporters were sad and thoughtful, they were still watching Chen Lin's jokes, but they were confused by Chen Lin's series of actions.
