About ten minutes later.
Meng Chen pushed open the door to the manager's office and walked in. Before he came here, he already knew that this trip was about the contract.
Wharton smiled." Meng Chen, you're here. Quick, go sit down on the sofa across from us. I'll introduce you to the two people here."”
" This is Elvin Johnson, nicknamed 'The Magic'. I think you've more or less heard his name. He's now the manager of the Los Angeles Clippers.”
"The dignified and elegant beautiful lady opposite you is the current president of the Los Angeles Clippers. Jenny Bass."
Even though Meng Chen knew.
But Wharton still introduced them one by one.
"Hello, Manager John and President Jenny.”
Meng Chen politely asked, and the two of them smiled in response.
After the basic introduction, Magician John went straight to the point."Meng Chen, I know that there are many teams eyeing you now and want to poach you.”
"The same goes for us. Your strength and talent are what the Laker needs now.”
"But from the beginning, you didn't show it, but we signed you and gave you a chance to show your strength, so we hope that you will consider us first.”
"But it's just hope. Next, we'll give you the conditions. President Jenny is willing to give you two choices. One is 8 million a year and you can sign a new contract next year. The other was a two-year, 20 million contract.”
"But no matter what, these two contracts surpass this year's top pick. Your annual salary is above all rookies.”
Meng Chen would definitely stay with the Los Angeles team.
However, after hearing John's words, he didn't reply immediately. Instead, he frowned and pondered. However, it was this frown that made Magician and Jenny's hearts tremble.
"This annual salary is very high. I didn't expect Meng Chen to hesitate. It seems that other teams have offered a higher price.”
Magician's heart sank. His brain spun rapidly as he thought of his next plan.
Seeing Meng Chen's hesitation, CEO Jenny also frowned slightly. She pondered for a moment, then looked at Meng Chen with her beautiful eyes and said,"Meng Chen, if you agree to stay in the Los Angeles team, I'm willing to give you a mysterious gift.”
"Oh?"
" Mysterious gift?!"
Meng Chen was delighted. He was hesitating because he was waiting for Jenny to speak, but his expression did not change. He said calmly,"I wonder what CEO Jenny is talking about?!”
"I can't tell you yet."
Jenny kept him in suspense, but she said in an extremely confident and proud tone,"I guarantee as the president of the Laker that this mysterious gift is definitely not small, but the premise is that you have to stay with the Laker.”
It had to be said.
Jenny was very business-minded.
Telling you that there was a mysterious gift, but not telling you what it was, was to make you tempted. If you wanted it, then you should keep it.
"Alright."
Meng Chen no longer hesitated. He nodded." Of course I believe President Jenny. I will stay with the Laker and choose the first contract option, which is an annual salary of 8 million yuan.”
"Yes."
Jenny smiled and nodded.
He was happy that he had managed to make Meng Chen stay.
Little did he know that Meng Chen had earned a big gift from him for no reason. A big gift promised by the NBA team owner.
Meng Chen made a huge profit.
At the same time, Meng Chen signed an official contract with the Los Angeles Clippers for eight million yuan a year. This meant that Meng Chen could not go to another team before he was traded by the team.
besides.
After the end of the season, Meng Chen would become a free agent with player options. He would be able to choose whether to stay with the Los Angeles Clippers or find another player.
But no matter what.
Meng Chen stayed in the contract.
The management of the Los Angeles Clippers also sent a notice on the official website of the Los Angeles Clippers, telling the entire league that Meng Chen would stay with the Los Angeles Clippers. The implication was also telling other teams not to think about signing Meng Chen.
This notice had indeed helped Meng Chen avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble and made his life a lot more peaceful.
however
Before the official contract was finalized, Meng Chen hoped that CEO Jenny could pay him about 200,000 yuan after deducting taxes from the short-term contract.
Selby was in urgent need of money.
Jenny was indeed the boss of the Laker. She liked Meng Chen so much that she generously gave him an advance of 1 million yuan. After all, Meng Chen's annual salary was only about 4 million yuan after tax.
The next day.
When Meng Chen saw the notification on his phone and saw that there was an additional one million in his account, he jumped up immediately. He was as happy as a child.
Meng Chen naturally shared the good news with his sister as soon as he got his first bucket of gold.
He even gave his sister 200,000 dollars, which was more than 1.3 million dollars in Chinese dollars. Meng Chen was never stingy with his sister, never.
Just like how Meng Chen would always be the best brother in Xia Xiaoyan's heart.
Secondly.
Meng Chen told his sister not to tell his mother about him playing basketball for the time being. Meng Chen hoped to make a name for himself in the NBA before telling his mother.
Outside.
Xia Xiaoyan was a serious teacher.
However, to Meng Chen, she was his sister. Xia Xiaoyan obediently agreed and would use the money her brother gave her to make her mother's life better.
"I knew you were the best brother in the world!”
On the other end of the phone, Xia Xiaoyan smiled happily and praised him. Then, she whispered in a voice that only she could hear,"I miss my brother. I think I saw my brother.”
......
The contract scandal had come to an end.
The three-day break was over in a flash. Tonight, the Clippers would play against the Sacramento Kings at home, even if it was a team with a worse record than the Clippers.
However, the entire team did not let down their guard. The players arrived early in the morning for warm-up training and were fully prepared for the evening game.
The seriousness of the Laker players stemmed from the confidence and joy of winning.
Currently.
After a 10-game losing streak, the Los Angeles Clippers had won five consecutive victories. However, they were not satisfied, and they would never be satisfied. The Los Angeles Clippers wanted to continue their winning streak.
