Chapter 461 Nationality of the Chinese State
"What?" At the dinner table, Wang Xiao's eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at Wang Feng in disbelief: "You said that you taught Oakley a lesson in the confrontation today, and you also subdued him?" ”
As a die-hard NBA fan, how could Wang Xiao not know about the court bully Oakley?
Although no one will like this kind of blue-collar on the court, Wang Xiao knows very well how powerful Oakley is, especially his fierce eyes on the field, as if he wants to eat his opponent, anyone who sees it will feel terrified.
Wang Feng can even beat Oakley, so powerful?
"So after your ten-day short-term contract expires, can you sign a long-term contract with the team and officially become an NBA player?"
Wang Xiao hurriedly asked.
Then he saw Wang Feng shake his head.
"I don't have to wait until my short contract expires, I've already re-signed with the team."
Wang Feng said lightly: "1.45 million in 1 year." ”
"Pop ......"
The chopsticks in Wang Xu's hand fell on the table, his mouth was big, and he looked at Wang Feng in shock.
"How much did you just say? 1.45 million? ”
For an honest middle-aged man who supports his family by opening a small fast food restaurant, 1.45 million is an exaggerated astronomical number.
"Well, a little less, but it can't be helped." Wang Feng shook his head slightly. "If I'm willing to sign a long-term contract, I might get about 2 million, but that's too much of a loss, and I'm not prepared to stay with the Knicks forever."
1.45 million in 1 year is indeed too low for Wang Feng, who will have an annual salary of more than 40 million in the future.
But there is no way, although Wang Feng has successfully shown his strength, he has not played in the NBA official arena after all, and the Knicks will inevitably reduce the price as much as possible.
And now it's only 1995, and the NBA salary cap is not high. Ewing only has an annual salary of $4.49 million.
Wang Feng is a newcomer, even if he can play again, the salary he can get will not be raised.
The annual salary of 1.45 million is already the greatest sincerity given by the Knicks, and this annual salary can be ranked sixth in the team. Starks is also slightly lower.
Of course, it won't be the same until next year.
The return of Joe's gang has greatly boosted the NBA's ratings, and in the 95-96 season, the league gave birth to its first 10 million contract, which was the contract signed by Ewing and the Knicks with an annual salary of $18.72 million.
Immediately following the 96-97 season, Jordan's annual salary reached an exaggerated $30.14 million, which is definitely more than 100 million if inflation is calculated, and it is the highest annual salary even if it is put into the future.
The topic is a bit far away......
Wang Feng's salary requirements are not particularly high, after all, he has not proven himself in the NBA, so signing a one-year short-term contract with the Knicks is the best choice for him.
Moreover, if you take 10,000 steps back, 1.45 million US dollars, deducting various taxes and other expenses, Wang Feng will have at least about 6.7 million US dollars, even in the United States in 95 years, this is an astronomical amount, enough for Wang Feng's daily expenses.
"Brother Wang, when my money is in hand, I will invest in it, how about a bigger hotel for you?"
Wang Feng said to Wang Xu: "The food you cook is so delicious, it must be very popular in Chinatown." ”
Wang Feng is very grateful to this enthusiastic big brother who started to help him in times of crisis, although he should be teleported back to his original era after the end of the Dynasty Terminator's module, but if he can provide some help to the other party in terms of economy, he is still very happy.
"This ...... It's okay, even if Xiao Wang is the boss of your shares, I will work for you! ”
"That's right." Wang Feng suddenly thought of something and took out a few tickets from his pocket.
Seeing this, Wang Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Tickets?"
"That's right."
Wang Feng smiled and handed the ticket to Wang Xiao. "It's Jan. 4, the Knicks' home game against the Atlanta Hawks, close to the front row, and I'm supposed to be on the pitch, so welcome to see me make my NBA debut."
Suddenly traveled to this era, and after many days, Wang Feng is finally going to officially play in the NBA!
However, before that, there is another problem that Wang Feng needs to solve.
That's the problem with his visa.
As a time-traveler who traveled to the 90s out of thin air, Wang Feng did not have any identity information, and was equivalent to a stowaway in the United States, with no green card, no work visa, and no tourist visa.
Some time ago, when he was playing street ball in Rock Park, he was a little scared, for fear of being found by the strip and then checking his identity information and being deported.
What's even worse is that he is not only a smuggling in the United States, but even in China, there is no such person, no ID card, and he is a pure black household.
After successfully joining the Knicks, Wang Feng explained to the team the problems he faced.
The Knicks management team was also quite speechless about this, such a powerful basketball player is actually a black family?
Of course, for a big team like the Knicks, this kind of thing doesn't need to be bothered at all, there is a special department to deal with similar incidents, after all, in order to find basketball talent from all over the world, NBA scouts will even search for it all over the world, and the more typical one is the best defensive player Mutombo.
Born in the Congo, Mutombo lived an almost primitive tribal life in his early days, with no household registration or birth certificate, so he didn't even know his real age, which later became a meme, and some people thought that Mutombo was more than 50 years old at the end of his career.
For this kind of talent who has shown outstanding talent in basketball, the United States has always refused to come, and the process of Mutombo obtaining the nationality of the United States has been smooth sailing without any obstacles.
When the Knicks learned that Wang Feng had no nationality, they suggested that Wang Feng directly join the nationality of the United States and become the United States people dream of.
But Wang Feng did not agree.
No matter how long the time limit for this crossing is, Wang Feng still thinks that he is a Chinese in his heart.
Especially when Wang Feng once stood on the stage of the Olympic Games and won an Olympic gold medal for the motherland, that feeling cannot be described in words.
Therefore, Wang Feng got rid of the relevant personnel of the Knicks and helped him contact the Chinese Embassy in the United States, hoping to obtain Chinese nationality.
When the U.S. Embassy received a call from the Knicks, the staff thought they had misheard.
Have NBA players who want to become Chinese citizens? What the hell is this?
In recent years, as China has become more and more powerful, many overseas Chinese want to return to Chinese nationality.
But there are not many people like Wang Feng who make a big splash.
For the sake of safety, the clerk reported the matter to his superiors, and the superiors were also surprised, and in doubt, a phone call was made to China.
This matter was passed on one by one, and because it was the NBA, it was actually passed to the Basketball Association.
"What? A professional player in the NBA wants to become a Chinese citizen? ”
When the officials of the Basketball Association learned the news, they were completely blindsided.
They have never heard of such a number one person in the NBA, and they heard that he is still Chinese!
In the 90s, the NBA was still a fairly unknown area for China. Stern took the initiative to give away various NBA game tapes for free and vigorously promoted the NBA in China, but limited by the limitations of productivity and economic strength, with little success.
However, since last year, Huaguo has officially broadcast NBA games, and several playoff games have been widely praised.
However, the Chinese media began to broadcast the NBA regular season in large quantities, so that Chinese fans widely recognized NBA stars, or in 96, that is, the Atlanta Olympics, when the Chinese men's basketball team reached the quarterfinals for the first time and achieved a historic breakthrough.
Now, when China is still ignorant of the NBA, it is not a trivial matter to suddenly tell them that there is a Chinese who plays in the NBA and wants to return to Chinese nationality.
The Basketball Association immediately used all their connections to investigate the matter of this NBA player, but they have no connections in the United States itself, and they don't know anything about the actual situation in the NBA except for Jordan and other superstars.
This was the case in the early 90s, even the Chinese Basketball Association, limited by the restrictions of information dissemination, did not know much about the NBA.
So after some investigation, they had no clue at all.
But this matter cannot be left alone.
After all, it was a message sent by the embassy of the United States, and it was also confirmed that the letter was the official of the NBA team New York Knicks, and there would never be a fake.
Therefore, after an emergency meeting, the Basketball Association decided to immediately send an investigation team to the United States to investigate all the information about Wang Feng, a player who plays in the NBA.
The team includes a reporter from CCTV Sports Column, a reporter from Huaguo Sports News, a former member of the Huaguo men's national basketball team, Zhang Gui, and several staff members of the Basketball Association.
They are going through various procedures and visas as quickly as possible, preparing to cross the ocean and arrive in New York, where they will see this NBA player who suddenly appeared and wants to become a Chinese citizen.
……
On the other side, Wang Feng was notified by the staff on the Knicks' side.
The embassy in the United States said that the situation is special and that it has reported the situation to the relevant departments, and will approve and reply as soon as possible.
In fact, this means that this is the first time we have seen this situation, and we dare not make a decision directly, so you should wait for a while.
However, as a result, Wang Feng was unable to apply for a work visa because he did not have a passport, and he could not play in the game on January 4.
(I don't know much about nationality applications and visa processing, but a little bit of Baidu, if it's not right, everyone thinks that the rules of the parallel world are different, and it should be the needs of the plot.) )
