"Meng Chen, what do you think?"
Mo Lei probed.
"I think it's too low."
Meng Chen said calmly.
"Hiss ~"
Upon hearing this, Mo Lei's mouth twitched. Meng Chen actually felt that this huge contract that made his heart bleed was too low. However, when he thought of Meng Chen's strength and potential, as well as the countless hidden dangers of competition outside.
He endured it.
" How about an annual salary of 9 million?" Mo Lei continued.!”
"Too low."
"How about an annual salary of 10 million?!”Mo Lei's heart continued to bleed.
"Too low."
Still low? Mo Lei widened his eyes and said with a trembling voice,"How about an annual salary of 11 million?!”
An annual salary of 11 million? Even a proud son like Lebrang James couldn't reach such an annual salary, let alone only maintain it for a year. This was the limit price that Morey could afford. If he increased it, he would be unable to explain it to the Rocket Boss.
"Too low."
However, Meng Chen's tone was still cold and he rejected her flatly.
" What?!"
After being rejected once again, Mo Lei's small eyes widened and his body trembled. Meng Chen's repeated rejections had caused his calm state of mind to gradually collapse.
"Mo Lei."
D'Antoni snorted and suppressed Mo Lei. He then looked at Meng Chen and smiled."Since you're not satisfied with our offer, then tell me, how much do you want?!”
"50 million a year."
Meng Chen raised his eyes and said indifferently.
" What?!"
" 50 million a year?!"
Morey and D'Antoni immediately jumped up from their chairs, their eyes wide open as if they couldn't even pop out.
"Yes."
Meng Chen said calmly, as if this 50 million yuan was a very reasonable annual salary to him.
"Meng Chen, 50 million, this... This…"
D'Antoni's expression became very ugly.
Even if he was one of the most popular players in the league, the star player of the Warriors…Stephen Curry, with an annual salary of only 34.68 million dollars.
This was already the highest annual salary for the season.
Curry was one of the best players in the league, and he only got such a sky-high salary contract after four years of his second child labor contract.
And now.
As a rookie, Meng Chen actually asked for more than Curry's annual salary of 15 million?!
This was simply inconceivable.
"Meng Chen, you think too highly of yourself. Fifty million a year?" Mo Lei roared. Why don't you go rob them? What qualifications do you have for this annual salary?!”
"Let me tell you, even if Jordan was at the peak of his career, he wouldn't dare to offer such a thoughtless salary.”
"You're just a kid who just joined the NBA. Although you do have talent, it's not the right to show off. A proud player like you will never make a name for himself on the NBA stage.”
Mo Lei's mentality had been rejected by Meng Chen again and again, and he had been treated coldly again and again. Finally, it exploded and completely collapsed after Meng Chen's last unreasonable demand.
Meng Chen, on the other hand, only glanced at Mo Lei calmly.
Ignoring Mo Lei, he looked at D'Antoni and said indifferently,""I think you will definitely not agree to this offer, so I think we can end today's discussion.”
After saying that.
Meng Chen stood up slowly and turned to leave.
D'Antoni frowned and struggled to persuade him to stay. However, when Mo Lei saw Meng Chen leave, he was instantly furious and roared.
"Go, go. I don't care.”
"Without you, the Rockets can still win the championship. Instead, they can only stay on a lousy team and never make the playoffs.”
"With your arrogant personality, you will eventually be a loser, a complete loser!”
"You…"
Mo Lei, who could no longer endure it, completely exploded. Even after Meng Chen left the room, his curses did not stop. D'Antoni, who was beside him, shook his head slightly. He looked helpless, but in the end, he was speechless.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought of such an outcome.
As for Meng Chen.
Since he had never thought of joining the Rockets, no matter how much he offered, it wouldn't be too much. Even if it was 100 million or more, it didn't matter.
The result was the most important.
"Ding! The host has successfully made Mo Lei fly into a rage, relieving his anger. Reward: Stamina 15, Strength 5."
As he walked out of the hotel, he heard the system notification.
" After receiving this reward, my Stamina has reached 75 points, which will undoubtedly allow me to play more time on the court. With 90 points of Strength, I will have the strength to fight against someone with the same level of physical fitness as Alphabet Bro. At the very least, I won't be completely defeated like last time.”
Not only had he dealt with Mo Lei ruthlessly, but he had also improved himself.
Meng Chen had to give this awesome system a thumbs up.
After rejecting the Rockets 'offer to sign a contract, Meng Chen received another call and immediately walked toward the training center.
......
In the manager's office at the Laker training center, there were two men and a woman. The two men were Coach Warton and Manager " Magician " John Xun.
The other woman sitting on the sofa was the president of the Laker. Jenny Bass.
Yes, it was.
The president of the Laker team personally came to the management office with only one purpose: Meng Chen was officially signed.
Jenny had a document in her hand. It was not a document, but rather a set of data. It was a complete set of data for Meng Chen's last five matches. Jenny had read it three times.
"Meng Chen, you must sign it!"
This was Jenny's affirmative answer after looking at the data.
Coach Wharton nodded." Yes. Meng Chen is not only strong and talented. Most importantly, he is only 19 years old, but he has a natural cohesiveness."”
"Because of him, the atmosphere in the locker room is improving at a rapid rate.”
"I think if he can stay healthy, the Laker will definitely be able to go further this year, even to the playoffs.”
The playoffs?
Jenny's body trembled slightly when she heard this. After the 12/13 season, the Los Angeles Clippers had not tasted the playoffs for four consecutive years. This year was the fifth year.
Thinking of this…
Jenny was even more determined.
As for John, who was sitting at his desk, he asked,""Jenny, do you need Meng Chen to come over quickly? You've been waiting for her for an hour.”
"It's alright."
Jenny waved her hand. She didn't care because she could accept Meng Chen's words.
