After the preseason game in China, Zhao Feiyang's miracle of scoring "30" points also appeared in major media. Domestic fans responded quickly. From the initial doubts, almost two-thirds of the fans became solid supporters of Zhao Feiyang.
Even though these people had insisted on denying Zhao Feiyang before.
As soon as the game is over, Zhao Feiyang is about to leave China with the Lakers. If nothing else, his next stop will be Los Angeles on the other side of the ocean.
Before leaving, the Lakers gave Zhao Feiyang a day off to go home and say goodbye to his family.
However, before Zhao Feiyang left Mingzhu City, he received a call from former head coach Li Guohai.
"Hey, Feiyang, the team's manager Yan wants to see you!"
"Yan Lei? Why did he see me?"
Zhao Feiyang remembered clearly that when Yan Lei drove him away, he was quite ruthless in his words. He didn't take himself as an old player seriously at all, he just threw it away after using it.
Although Zhao Feiyang wanted to refuse, due to Li Guohai's repeated persuasion, considering that Li Guohai was really good to him at the beginning, and for the sake of the other party's face, Zhao Feiyang decided to go back to the Sharks training base.
This time, as soon as he got off the car and arrived at the door, the team's general manager Yan Lei came up to greet him personally.
Almost completely opposite to the arrogant attitude before, Yan Lei was not only full of enthusiasm, but also praised Zhao Feiyang crazily all the way and brought Zhao Feiyang into his office.
"Feiyang! Sit down!"
"They are not outsiders!"
Zhao Feiyang was not polite and sat down on the sofa.
Yan Lei personally made a cup of tea for Zhao Feiyang, and then took out a contract from the cabinet. He placed the contract in front of Zhao Feiyang and sat aside.
"Flying!"
"I'm older than you, so I'll just call myself brother in front of you! I won't take advantage of you..."
Yan Lei put on a sincere expression, "I'm sorry for what happened before, but it's not my problem. The team has been losing money in the past two years, and the group has put a lot of pressure on us... ....."
"It's not that I don't want you to stay in the team. I really don't have any extra money..."
Zhao Feiyang did not respond to Yan Lei's words.
He had heard some news within the group, but what was different from what he learned was that the so-called deficit within the group was caused by problems in certain projects.
But even with the deficit, the management's wages have not been reduced at all, and the contracts of people such as Li Wei within the team have not been reduced at all.
From this point of view, Yan Lei's words are not reliable.
"Originally! It's a good thing for you to go to the Lakers, and I'm happy for you... But you're already this age. In fact, you don't need to tell me that you understand that at this age, you want to be the second best player in your career. Spring is basically impossible..."
"The NBA is not that easy to play. Instead of working as a water cooler keeper, it's better to stay in China!"
"This contract is the price negotiated by the management... The team still wants to sign you back. Isn't your name now in the spotlight? If you can take this opportunity to stay with the team, you can cooperate with the club to promote it. After a while, maybe the team can reverse its deficit in the new season..."
When Yan Lei said this, Zhao Feiyang understood immediately.
In the final analysis, the other party just wants to take advantage of you.
He didn't look at the contract on the table, but just replied to Yan Lei, "I have signed with the Lakers!"
Yan Lei seemed to be prepared and chuckled, "We have inquired about this matter. Your contract is not fully guaranteed. As long as you are willing to stay, we will leave the liquidated damages to us..."
"Um?"
Yan Lei's words made Zhao Feiyang take a high look.
Although the contract he signed was not large, the liquidated damages were still quite large. No matter what the Sharks did before, the sincerity shown this time seems to be quite sufficient.
Unfortunately, Zhao Feiyang was happy too early. It was not until he picked up the contract on the table and looked at it for a while that he finally understood what a huge pit it was!
"Party A is willing to provide Party B with a four-year contract of 200 RMB. This clause must indicate: The amount provided by Party A is before tax..."
"During the performance of the contract, if Party B suffers any serious injury or illness that affects his career, Party A can terminate the contract at any time..."
"If the amount of Party B's liquidated damages exceeds the limited amount, then Party B needs to make up the excess amount after Party A buys out..."
Several consecutive contracts almost made Zhao Feiyang stupid!
What made him even more unexpected was that just as he was frowning more and more as he read, the general manager Yan Lei on the side seemed to be a little smug, and even asked him with a smile, "How is it? This contract is very good. Bar?"
"The annual salary of five hundred thousand is already very high. There are only three or four people in the team who are higher than you now. You have already made money with this contract..."
Zhao Feiyang almost laughed out loud when he heard this.
"Manager Yan, who drafted this contract?"
Zhao Feiyang asked.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
Yan Lei asked back.
Zhao Feiyang threw the contract away and asked, "Even a pig's brain can probably tell the difference!"
"The worst I can get when I sign with the Lakers is more than 3 million RMB. Even if I pay half the tax in Los Angeles, I will still get a lot of money... and this is just based on the minimum! But! , when I sign your broken contract, not only will I have to pay the liquidated damages, but I will only earn half a million yuan in the whole year?"
"This is only twice as much as my previous contract!"
"I don't play in the NBA just to make this money? Am I sick? Or are you guys who drafted the contract stupid? Do you think I signed such a bullshit contract after taking the wrong medicine?"
Zhao Feiyang's series of questions made Yan Lei, the team's general manager, a little confused.
At this time, he still didn't think there was any problem with the contract.
"Half a million is a lot!"
"Zhao Feiyang, you have to be clear! You are 29 years old, and no team will offer you too much price! This price is based on your previous contributions to the team. ..."
"The Lakers' contract looks good, but is it so easy to make money in the NBA? You might not be able to play a few games before being fired by the Lakers! How can our contract be stable?"
"I'm telling you, how many players would break their heads if we offered you this contract but they still can't get it! You can just have fun! We paid the bulk of the liquidated damages, and you don't have to pay any money. .....Finally, you have taken advantage of it..."
Zhao Feiyang really couldn't bear it now.
He laughed out loud while sitting on the sofa, staring at the serious general manager Yan Lei like a fool. After a long time, he asked, "Manager Yan, are you serious?"
