At five o'clock, Yang Xu ended his training early.
He went to the hotel to meet Ku Li and treated him to a big meal.
The next day, the game between the Knicks and the Warriors would be held at 7 pm sharp.
A lot of people had already gathered outside the arena, and more than half of them were Yang Xu's fans.
They were holding a big sign with Yang Xu's face on it and shouting his name.
Some of them were wearing Yang Xu's Knicks jersey.
Those without jerseys looked at those wearing jerseys with envy.
Now that he had Yang Xu's jersey, it was enough to show off for a long time.
Yang Xu came to the stadium and passed by the players 'passage.
He saw a familiar figure, Mills.
Mills seemed to be waiting for Yang Xu. When he saw Yang Xu, he immediately went forward to welcome him.
She patted Yang Xu's arm enthusiastically." Yang Xu, how do you feel on the team?”
"It's pretty good!"
"I heard that you also spend your rest days in the arena! You're really hardworking!"
"It's my duty. The responsibility of a player is to play basketball well!”
When Mills heard this, he looked around at the others behind him." Look at this player. If he doesn't succeed, who will?”
"I think all of us should learn from Yang Xu!”
Yang Xu felt a little embarrassed to be praised by Mills in front of so many people." General Manager, no, no. I just love basketball very much, and I have nothing else to do, so I came to train.”
"In any case, we have seen your efforts. I also believe that you will become a great player!”
The news of Yang Xu selling 50,000 jerseys in ten minutes was reported on the news that day.
He naturally knew about this news, which was why he was so confident when those sports brands came to talk to him about cooperation.
Now, Mills came to him and praised him.
His motive was obvious. He was now the money tree in his hands, so he naturally had to support it.
Yang Xu remembered clearly how Mills treated him when he signed the contract.
Forget about revenge, Yang Xu didn't have a good impression of Mills.
But now, Yang Xu still had to be polite." Thank you, General Manager.”
Mills smiled happily. The players were indeed easy to deal with.
" Yang Xu," he continued," do you have any difficulties recently? You can tell me if you have any difficulties. I'll try my best to help you solve them."”
Difficult?
Yang Xu thought about it for a while. There really was such a thing.
"General Manager, can you give me my salary in advance?”
Yang Xu was a little embarrassed to have borrowed ten thousand yuan from him and wanted to return it to him as soon as possible.
"Of course. I'll go and talk to the finance department later. I'll send you next month's salary today!”
"Thank you, General Manager!"
NBA players generally paid their salaries on fixed paydays. The default was the 1st and 15th of each month. From November 15th to the end of the regular season, they were paid 12 times.
When Yang Xu signed the contract, because his salary was very low, he was paid once on the 15th of every month, a total of six times.
Moreover, the salary had to pay federal, state, and city taxes, as well as some other fees.
He only received about 44% of his salary.
Yang Xu's contract was 1.5 million yuan for two years, so Yang Xu's monthly salary was about 50,000 yuan.
For Yang Xu, who had been thrifty before, this was a huge sum of money for the time being.
"General Manager, I still need to warm up often, so I'll be leaving first!”Since he got the money, Yang Xu had nothing else to do.
It was a little uncomfortable to chat awkwardly with someone like Mills.
"Alright, you go first! Right, tonight at home, play more beautiful games. The fans are looking forward to it!”
"Definitely!"
After saying that, Yang Xu quickly left.
Mills watched Yang Xu leave, and the smile on his face couldn't stop.
On his way to the arena, he heard too many people discussing Yang Xu.
Originally, a jersey cost 80 yuan, but many people could not buy it even if they offered five times the price.
The number of Yang Xu's fans outside the stadium was also frightening.
All of this showed Yang Xu's current high popularity.
Popularity was money, and Yang Xu was now a huge cash cow.
Just as Mills was about to leave, someone called out to him from behind.
"General Manager!"
He looked back and saw that it was Harrington.
"General Manager, what's the matter? You're so happy!" When Harrington saw Mills, he immediately jogged over to greet him.
"I just met a friend. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first!”Mills said goodbye to Harrington and prepared to leave.
" General Manager, the billboard we talked about last time..." Harrington saw that Mills was about to leave and immediately became anxious. He stammered.
A billboard?
Now that Yang Xu is so popular, what's there to do with you?
However, Mills was in a good mood, and his smile never stopped.
"That's in progress. Don't worry!”
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry!" Hearing Mills's answer, Harrington mistakenly thought that the billboard had confirmed his identity and was extremely excited.
"General Manager, are you free tomorrow night? Let me treat you to a meal!"
"No need, hurry up and prepare for the competition! I have something to do, so I'll leave first." Mills then left.
Ever since Yang Xu had shown his high popularity.
Many sponsors approached the Knicks, and Mills was in a hurry to discuss cooperation with them.
Harrington was left standing on the spot, clenching his fists in excitement." It's finally done!”
