73 Eight million annual salary

Originally, Wen Hao wanted to take a taxi to send the child home, but because there was no money in the training clothes, and it was late at night, the taxi was not easy to wait, so he walked forward with the child all the way talking and laughing. During the conversation between the two, Wen Hao learned that the child's name was Michael Carter. Wen Hao smiled and said, "It's amazing, a combination of two great gods." ”

Carter said proudly, "Of course, my dad wanted me to be a superstar like Jordan and Carter, so he gave me that name." ”

"Your dad is amazing."

"Of course, he's the greatest dad ever. It's a pity that he died in an accident on a construction site two years ago......" At this point, Carter Jr. was silent.

Wen Hao was also silent for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.

The two walked in silence to a block. Little Carter said that it was "less than an hour", and Wen Hao thought it would take at least forty or fifty minutes, but in fact he only walked for half an hour. Maybe it's because the child is young and doesn't have a very clear concept of time. Little Carter seemed to be in a better mood again, waved his hand to Wen Hao, and said, "My house is in front, goodbye, Wen Hao." ”

Wen Hao waved his hand and watched little Carter walk into the darkness, and stopped for a moment in front of a room in the distance, and then opened the door. Wen Hao relieved himself, turned around, and walked slowly towards the place where he lived. He was already very tired after training just now, and his legs were almost unable to drag at this time. Cold and tired, he reluctantly returned to his lodgings, threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.

The next morning, Wen Hao woke up at five o'clock, and he was already in good spirits, without the slightest tiredness from last night. This, of course, is the role of the point guard's heart. He washed up briefly, and then went to the Toyota Center to complete each training mission.

While he was training, the official website of the Rockets had already announced that a press conference would be held at 12 p.m. today. When these news came out, those sports reporters were all puzzled, the Rockets have not made any moves recently, and they don't play games, what kind of press conference is they holding when they don't play?

It was intern Harper who reacted first: "Wen Hao's ten-day short contract should have expired the day before yesterday." According to league rules, if you want to renew the player after the end of two 10-day contracts, you must sign at least until the end of the season. In this way, the Rockets must sign Wen Hao until the end of the season, because if the contract is not renewed, there is no need to hold another press conference. It's great, Wen Hao finally stayed in the rocket, but I don't know how much he has this contract. Knowing this, Harper immediately said hello to the editor-in-chief and went to the parking lot. Since his articles became popular, the editor-in-chief has asked the newspaper for an interview car for Harper so that he can go to the Rockets at any time.

When Harper arrived at the press conference at the Toyota Center at half past eleven in the afternoon, there were already reporters there, and everyone was asking each other what news the Rockets were going to release, and it seemed that everyone didn't know. Harper understood, but laughed but didn't say anything. In his heart, he expected that Wen Hao might get a big contract, and he wanted to see the expressions on the faces of these reporters when they learned about Wen Hao's contract.

Finally, when it was close to 12 o'clock, the entire press conference was already crowded with reporters.

The Rockets have a pretty good record during this period, occupying the third position in the West, especially the recent wave of eight consecutive wins, which has become the focus of media and fans. So when it was known that the Rockets were going to have a press conference, many reporters rushed to the scene.

When the hour hand pointed to twelve, the reporters fell silent. A moment later, at the entrance, Morey, the general manager of the Rockets, walked in. As soon as Morey sat down, he got straight to the point and said: "I believe everyone is very confused, what is the Rockets going to do when they suddenly hold a press conference." It's actually quite simple, we have renewed the signing of that player from China, Wen Hao. ”

As soon as this remark came out, the reporters were in an uproar. Although everyone had guessed that Team Rocket would definitely leave Wen Hao behind, when they really heard the news, they still talked about it.

General Manager Morey pressed his hands out of thin air, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "Originally, the press conference of the signing players was for the players to be present in person, but Wen Hao has signed with the Rockets twice, and now it is the third time, plus he is now in training, so we decided not to disturb him, and I will answer everyone's questions." Now you can raise your hand and ask questions. ”

"I'm ......" Harper, who was sitting in the first row, had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and he was the first to raise his hand, "May I ask how big Wen Hao's contract will be?" ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the reporters fell silent. If there are players who have signed, they are naturally most concerned about the number of contracts. But in their hearts, they all guessed:

"One and a half million?"

"Two million?"

"Judging by his recent performances, it should be worth three million."

"Maybe five million, which is a bit of an exaggeration, but the Rockets are likely looking at the potential he has. But no matter how much it is, it can't be more than five million, after all, it's just to sign a replacement, and it can't cost too much, unless Alexander is crazy. ”

……

Morey looked at the dozens of reporters in the audience and kept smiling and silent. Nearly thirty seconds later, when the reporters were a little anxious, Morey slowly spoke: "By the end of the season, eight million dollars." ”

……

As soon as Morey's words came out, the entire venue fell silent. All the reporters stared at Morey with wide eyes, so surprised that they almost forgot to breathe. Even Harper, who had expected Wen Hao to have a big contract and waited to see the expressions of those reporters, was so surprised that he forgot to turn around at this time, and looked at Morey on the stage in amazement like everyone else. Although he expected Wen Hao's contract to be very large, he didn't expect it to be as much as eight million.

"Oh my God......" After a moment, a reporter finally said in surprise.

"Eight million, is Alexander crazy?" Another journalist shouted.

'He's been doing well in the last few games, but he's only coming off the bench. If he really played the main team, he wouldn't have performed so well. Before his ability was fully proven, he offered a contract that was almost equivalent to that of Jeremy Lin, and Alexander was really crazy. ”

"No, it should be said that his contract is bigger than that of Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin averaged 8.37 million a season. Now that half of the season has passed, 8 million will be offered to Zhongwen, which is simply a sky-high price for a player who has just finished a short contract. ”

……

The surprise of the reporters continued, but Morey pressed his hands out of thin air again, and said: "Listen to me, although everyone thinks that Wen is not worth this number at present, our rocket is not looking at his present, but his future, his potential." We believe that there is an immeasurable potential in him, and if we look at it alone, maybe the rocket is likely to dig up the treasure, just like Parsons and Asik at the beginning. So we think he fully deserves the number. ”
