Chapter 22: Am I Really Not Rich?

After the contract was completed, Wang Dachun could finally feel a little more at ease, and signed a three-year contract with the team, at least his life was guaranteed for these three years, and the big stone in his heart was finally removed.

Little Nelson didn't expect the signing to go so smoothly, and Wang Dachun rushed to sign, I wanted Wang Dachun to leave audio and video materials when he signed, but I didn't expect Wang Dachun to sign so quickly, so he could only call an assistant, and then let Wang Dachun sit at the desk with the contract in his right hand, holding a pen in his right hand, and he sat next to him and took a photo, which was ready to be released on the Mavericks' official website.

Nelson Jr. then told Wang that he was going to hold a press conference next week to announce to the media that the Dallas Mavericks had signed with him, and that he would show his jersey and number so that he could choose his jersey number among the available numbers as soon as possible.

Wang Dachun and Frank walked out of the arena, Wang Dachun looked at Frank, who had not spoken for a long time, and said:

"Man! What happened to you? You should be happy for me now, I've signed with the team. ”

Frank looked at Wang Dachun with resentful eyes and said:

"Do you think I'm a homo economicus? I basically didn't even say a word when I signed a contract with you! I feel like you're ignoring my existence. You should at least show my value, huh?

"Frank, don't be angry, my friend, I didn't ignore you, the team has already given me what I want, there is no need to fight for anything else." Wang Dachun said disapprehantly.

"The conditions given by the Mavericks are also very average, right? This contract can be said to be a regular contract for the second round show, and there is nothing special about it? "Frank doesn't quite understand.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that, we should go find a place to celebrate now, I'm in for a treat!" Wang Dachun said very heroically.

"Yes, you just signed a contract, how to say that you also have millions of dollars in income, naturally you invited, and we have known each other for so long, you have never taken the initiative to invite guests!" Frank said disgustedly.

"Didn't you be poor before! Now I have signed a contract of more than 2 million, and if I convert it to RMB, it will be about 18 million, oh my God! How am I going to spend this money? ”

Wang Dachun also realized at this time that he had just signed a contract worth 2.44 million US dollars, which would be an astronomical amount for him if converted into RMB, he had never thought that he might have so much money before, and he didn't know how to spend it for a while.

Frank reminded from the sidelines:

"You can't get so much money, king! Although the signing is $2.44 million, you don't actually get that much. ”

"Why?" Wang Dachun asked puzzled.

Frank explains:

First of all, you can only get the first year of the contract for the first year, and your first year of contract is $540,000. The $540,000 needs to be paid by the league escrow fund, federal taxes, state taxes, and my agent's retainer bonus, which I have roughly calculated for you, and you are more fortunate that you belong to Texas basketball players, and the current highest tax is 37%. This rate is the lowest in the United States. Each state in the United States has a different tax rate, Texas is currently the lowest in the country, and other states have to increase this rate by about 10%, which means that these taxes plus my 3% broker commission, you will only receive 60% of the annual salary on the contract, about $320,000. ”

"Holy, it's dark." Wang Dachun scolded directly.

Frank knows some Chinese and knows that he is scolding his mother, but he has become accustomed to it, and the United States is like this, and the high tax rate is scary.

Your income is high and your taxes are high, and you can get $1.5 million for a small contract like Wang Dachun for $2.44 million. If Wang Dachun's contract is 24 million US dollars, then he will have to pay taxes for 10 million US dollars, and he will have to die of distress.

"Damn, I thought I had become a rich man, but I was cut in half before I got my hands on it, what a wicked capitalist country!" Wang Dachun said indignantly.

"Okay, you just think your contract is more than 1 million, not more than 2 million, do you feel more comfortable in this way?" Frank said enlighteningly.

"Hey, I can only comfort myself like this, but when will I get this money? More than 300,000 is not a decimal, and I am almost too poor to open the pot now. Wang Dachun cried to the point of being poor.

"Man! You can't get this money all at once, so why don't you pay attention to this information? Frank said speechlessly.

"Ah, it's cut in half and you don't give me the money, is the Mavericks so picky? Still in arrears of employees' wages? Wang Dachun asked anxiously.

Frank painted, I took your expression and said:

The NBA league stipulates that the salary of a player on a typical team is paid 24 or 36 times a year, and the Dallas Mavericks are paid in 24 installments, and he is paid on the 15th and 30th of each month. ”

"Isn't it? Aren't all NBA teams rich? How can I pay in installments! Wang Dachun asked in surprise.

"No way, this is the rules of the alliance, I just calculated it for you, you will receive your salary twice a month after tax. It's about $14,000 each time, and $28,000 twice twice, so I want to explain in advance that there is also my commission. Frank said half-jokingly.

"Hey, when I didn't have money, I didn't think about more money and less money, but when I had money, I was entangled, I was a little dissatisfied, more than 20,000 US dollars a month was high enough, and if it was in China, it should be a proper gold treatment. I should be content, at least I should be able to live a relatively prosperous life in the future, and I can pay half of my family every month. Wang Dachun said comfortingly.

"Don't jump to that conclusion, it's a bit too early. In the United States, more than $20,000 a month for an NBA player is actually very little. Frank reminded.

"Why? Quite a bit, right? This is almost 200,000 yuan converted into RMB! Wang Dachun didn't know how to ask.

"Then I ask you! Would you like to live in a comfortable, spacious place? Well, you don't change the place where you live, the stadium is so far away from where you live, do you want to buy a car to facilitate your travel? As an NBA player, you can't always wear sportswear like you do now, every day, you have to ask a special designer to help you tailor your clothes when you're so big, right? As an athlete, you also need a dietitian who will be responsible for providing you with a healthy diet to supplement your physical needs, right? It's just a few simple food, clothing, housing and transportation, do you calculate that your money is enough? ”

When Wang Dachun heard that Frank was pulling his fingers to calculate the most basic expenses for him, he had nothing to say.

"I haven't said if you want to improve your ability, whether you want to apply for the training camp of an NBA celebrity, whether you want to hire a trainer and so on." Frank said mercilessly.

Wang Dachun's eyes were already circling when he listened.

Looking at Wang Dachun's expression, Frank's mood at the moment was happy, and he said in his heart that you didn't listen to my opinion when you talked about the contract just now, let you treat me as air, and let you not let me help you fight for benefits, and now I regret it!

Frank felt that the blow was almost blowing, so he said:

"Alright. Don't be discouraged, being an NBA player can't just look at your contract fee, isn't there me, I'll find a way to negotiate a good endorsement for you, and then you will have money. What I just said is no longer a problem, of course, the premise is that you have to hit a certain amount of data, otherwise no one will ask you to be an endorsement."

Wang Dachun replied a little decadently:

"I thought I was rich, I didn't have to worry about my future life, I could play with peace of mind, you say so! So I'm still a poor guy, huh? ”
