Basketball Myth: Super Guard

After signing the contract, Qin Hao found 76ers general manager Ed Stefanski, hoping to advance his salary in advance.

Hearing Qin Hao's request, Ed Stefanski was stunned for a while.

Although the salary of the NBA is calculated according to the annual salary, the payment is based on many weeks. Many jobs in the United States are calculated according to the weekly salary, but the NBA is worried that the weekly payment will make young players feel that the money is too easy. It will be profligate, so it is generally issued once every two weeks, that is, once every two weeks.

When the salary is paid, the team finance department will print a salary slip for each player, which lists the salary details in detail. After the player signs it, it can be credited to the player's card.

The total amount of Qin Hao's 3+1 contract is 21.5 million US dollars, but it is gradually increasing, 4.6 million in the first year, 4.95 million in the second year... Then it is divided into 24 cycles every year, and it is sent to Qin Hao for half a month. a salary.

However, the NBA is not without exceptions. With the consent of the team management, players can advance their salaries in advance.

Some players at the bottom have low salaries but are under great financial pressure (everyone should have heard the story of Jeremy Lin sleeping at his teammate's house), after all, many players have poor family conditions, have children early, and need to pay off mortgages and other debts , so salary advances to teams are not uncommon.

Even the big-name stars, even the superstars, sometimes get a salary advance.

Qin Hao remembers that Kobe made a salary advance of $24.63 million to the Lakers in 2013.

This seems a bit nonsense, because 13 years ago, Kobe's salary in the Lakers alone reached 240 million US dollars, and there were various endorsements and commercial income. How could he be short of money?

Of course, Kobe was not short of money, but none of the rich Americans would put their money at home to depreciate, either for investment or for others to take care of.

In other words, Kobe was not short of money, but he couldn't get that much cash all at once, so he had to advance his salary to the team in advance.

In 2014, Anthony even submitted an application to the Knicks for a one-time salary advance of more than $60 million, equivalent to half of his total contract amount.

However, Anthony's state began to decline after that, and he didn't know what to do with the more than 60 million.

In short, it is not uncommon for NBA players to advance their salary to the team, but Ed Stefanski is the first time a rookie player asks for a salary advance on the first day of signing.

He thought about it for a while, and said earnestly: "Qin, your salary belongs to you and no one can take it away, but I don't think you need to pay in advance. I know that there are many places for young people to spend money. With so much money, you can't wait to buy something. Like a villa, a luxury car... But it's not a good thing, believe me, after a few years you'll understand that it's not good for you to spend money ."

Rookie players enter the NBA and suddenly become millionaires. As Ed Stefanski said, it is inevitable to want to splurge, luxury cars, beautiful wines.

Ed Stefanski sees this kind of thing a lot.

But for young players, this is really not a good thing. It will make them lost in the madness of money, and ultimately affect their competitive state. When they wake up, they often have no ball to play.

There was no job and no money left.

This is also why there are always reports that a certain star is down on the street, and even has to rely on others to help him to survive.

Hearing this, Qin Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Stefanski, I think you have misunderstood. I don't want to buy villas and luxury cars, and I don't like going to nightclubs. Also, I already have a girlfriend. We have a good relationship, and I don't have the habit of squandering money."

Ed Stefanski said strangely: "Then why do you have to advance your salary?"

"Investment." Qin Hao said with a smile: "I plan to make an investment and need a lot of money. This is an opportunity, and I am very optimistic about this investment." After speaking, Qin Hao thought about it and decided to sell Stefanski A favor, "Mr. Stefanski, why don't you vote a little too?"

"No, no, I'll let it go." Ed Stefanski waved his hand quickly. In his opinion, Qin Hao must be unreliable. If you invest with him, doesn't that mean you're going to waste your money?

Ed Stefanski had a good impression of Qin Hao, so he decided to persuade him again, but Qin Hao insisted, so he stopped talking and said, "Well, I will discuss with the management, the problem should not be solved. Big. But at most you can only advance your guaranteed portion of your salary for the first two years."

Qin Hao quickly thanked: "Thank you so much."

As for Raed-Stefanski's investment together, Qin Hao has already invited him anyway, and there is nothing they can do if they don't want to. Anyway, I won't blame myself at that time.

In fact, Qin Hao originally thought that it would be good to be able to pay for one year in advance, but he didn't expect to be able to pay for two years in advance, which would be even better.

Generally speaking, teams don't give players too much salary advance, mostly a few months, or a year like Kobe Bryant.

That is to say, Qin Hao is on a rookie contract, and Ed Stefanski has a good impression of him, and Qin Hao is not for profligacy, so he will agree to advance for two years.

This can't be more.

After all, Qin Hao's 3+1 contract is only four years in total, so it is enough to give Qin Hao half of it in advance.

Of course, Qin Hao's half is not the same as Anthony's half. The other half is more than 60 million US dollars, but Anthony's queue is also much larger.

A day later, Qin Hao got a reply. The team promised to give him two years' salary in advance, but it was the guaranteed part. In addition, tax deductions were required. Anyway, the salary was almost 10 million in two years. There are only about 60% left. To be precise, Qin Hao got 5.94 million.

"This is my capital." Qin Hao held the bank card in his hand, feeling agitated, and the plan to make a fortune that he had planned for a long time could finally be implemented.

As a rebirth, Qin Hao has "precognition ability", even if he doesn't want to be the world's richest man... Of course, the world's richest man is not so easy to be, it's not just your foresight. However, it is not difficult to take advantage of this and make yourself more money.

Sometimes, having money is just the way to go.

For example, when Qin Hao needs the team to strengthen, he can calmly reduce his salary to strengthen it; for example, when he wants to leave, he doesn't need to care about the contract price, I can go wherever I like; After retiring, you can buy a team to play with, isn't it delicious?

With the development speed of the NBA, when Qin Hao retires, he needs to buy an NBA team. His salary and advertising income alone will not be enough.
