When Guo Xu filmed the film, his agent, Hapi Waters, was in charge of logistics, allowing him to enjoy his life to the fullest, and occasionally signing a name on an already negotiated endorsement contract.
Hapi became an NBA ace agent and formed a team of agents, still busy. Because there are more and more players signing under his name, many rookies and players who have been unsuccessful for several seasons know that he is Guo Xu's agent and come here.
This year alone, he signed four rookies, three of which were suggested by Guo Xu, David West, Jason Capono, Kyle Korver. Mo Williams took the initiative to come home and recommend himself. He is a fan of Guo Xu and hopes to become a star in the second round of counterattack.
Among the players who have already played well, Harpy also signed Warriors center Eric Dampier. The latter is a contract year. He found Harpy in 2002 and wanted to change a reliable economic man to win a sign. High salary and long contract.
Happi was mainly responsible for Guo Xu, and the second-round rookie was handed over to several men to help follow up and manage, and report to work at any time.
The number of Guo Xu ’s advertising endorsements is more than other people ’s combined. Hapi is not easy. In addition to selecting new business endorsements, Hapi has to constantly contact the companies that have signed up to discuss future development.
Like Chevrolet, Guo Xu must sign a contract to raise the price significantly. As his status improves, more and more luxury car companies want to ask him to make an endorsement. Chevrolet must show enough sincerity to renew the contract.
Hapy also put pressure on Nike to not reduce the number of years of contract signed, but Nike must give Guo Xu a big contract in the future, otherwise Guo Xu will consider switching to Adidas.
LeBron James took part in the draft this year, and signed a seven-year, $ 91 million sky-high contract with Nike before a game. And Yao Ming, who doesn't sell shoes at Reebok, is 60 million in 6 years.
As a result, the previous contract between Guo Xu and Nike seemed a little bit unsightly. Now he is the top player in Nike and the number one player in shoe sales.
After some negotiation, Nike promised that as long as Guo Xu guaranteed to be selected for the All-Star when the contract expired and led the Suns to win the championship, he would be offered a big contract over James. If he suffers from serious injuries and his grades decline, the contract will be discussed at that time.
Hapi felt that Nike's commitment was not enough. When chatting with Guo Xu, he said: "I'm sorry I didn't help you maximize the benefits. The Nike contract was signed too long."
Guo Xu smiled and said: "This is not to blame you. Who would have thought that inflation was so fast two years ago? And I am not losing money. Did n’t you buy a lot of Apple shares with me? If you were indecisive and did not sign the contract I have less money to invest in these two years, and I have made a lot less. "
"That being said, stocks are good for your eyes, not my skill, I still follow you." Hapi sighed.
"We are friends, why should we be so careful? You have done a good job."
This year, Hapy also selected a few merchants for Guo Xu. The endorsement fees are very high, including men's perfume, shampoo, jeans, brand-name suits and so on. Guo Xu almost no longer needs to spend money on daily necessities, all sponsored by businesses for free.
He made several commercials in Los Angeles and returned to Phoenix on September 3.
Instead of rushing to practice, he moved first and moved into a small villa with a garden. He had already started buying a house at the end of the season, and it was Happi who helped him out.
The news of Guo Xu's move immediately became news. The Sun fans were very happy. If Guo Xu rented an apartment as he did in Los Angeles, they always worried that he would leave the team one day in the future.
Most NBA players do not like to stay in one place, it is an occupational disease, they are used to flying everywhere when playing away, and they will also play everywhere when they are on vacation.
Prior to this, Guo Xu and Marion did not buy a house in Phoenix, and the "hacker" lived in Las Vegas during the holiday. Guo Xu's original idea was that since he was often away from home throughout the year, why buy a house in Phoenix? The NBA vacation is still in the summer, and Phoenix is not suitable for the summer vacation.
After Megan stayed in the apartment for a while, his thoughts changed. The two were about to live together, and the apartment seemed a bit too small. Both of them have relatives, so if they buy a villa, they can visit them as guests and stay for a long time.
Another point is that house prices in the United States are really very cheap at this time. Only a few big cities such as Los Angeles and New York have higher house prices.
Phoenix is not a high-price city. The price of a 300-square-meter villa is basically 600,000 to 700,000 US dollars, with comprehensive environmental facilities, including two garages, more than 1,000 square meters of lawn, front and rear gardens, and an outdoor swimming pool.
Guo Xu thought the decoration was too troublesome. He bought the second-hand house directly. A Chinese couple was going to develop in other cities because of job transfer. Guo Xu bought the house very easily. The original furniture was left and checked in.
The couple, Guo Xu, met and worked at a big company and met at the New Year's party. When looking for a suitable house, he introduced it through the local Chinese Association. He has a wide network of contacts. Anything will become simpler. Guo Xu only spent 700,000.
In contrast, in the east on the other side of the ocean, some houses are completely made of gold bricks. The magic is that many people still feel that the house prices are not high enough. If they can double the price, they are all satisfied. On the contrary, if the house price falls by 10% in any month, the gang will go directly to the siege to the sales office.
Of course, American houses are used to live, and Tianchao houses are used for speculation. They have different meanings and are difficult to evaluate.
In the United States, some poor people feel uncomfortable renting an apartment, and want to buy a house, they can enjoy various government-provided house purchase benefits, such as applying for a mortgage credit certificate, and enjoying personal income tax credit within 10 years.
The problem of rural living in the United States is simpler. Farms with annual sales of less than $ 100,000 belong to resource-limited farms that do not pay taxes, and large farmers only pay about 5%.
In the gap between the rich and the poor in the United States, the poor are not poor enough to afford a house, but the housing area and grade are lower than those of middle- and high-income families.
Megan's character is very carefree, there is no requirement for the decoration of the house, just have a place to live. She came to Phoenix three days later than Guo Xu and quietly lived in the villa. The two officially began to live together ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Except for not receiving the certificate, they both feel that life is no different from ordinary couples. When they were in Los Angeles, they were used to living together and had a good understanding.
They also added a new family member, a husky puppy sent by Meghan's mother Darrens. Shortly after birth, the husky's child was raised by Meghan's family in Port St. Lucie. They named the puppy "Badi", which means friends and partners in English.
Guo Xu had long heard of the prestige of Huskies, and suspected that it was a mistake to raise this product. When he grows up, it is very likely that he will "dismantle his home." But Megan likes animals very much. She guarantees that when Guo Xu goes away, she can take good care of Buddy without any problems, only to stay.
In the previous life, Meghan loved animals and was famous in the circle. There are many animals in his family. In addition to cats, dogs, birds, and even a big-bellied pig. Living in the villa is convenient for her to keep animals.
Guo Xu installed a basketball hoop in the backyard to practice shooting. He didn't go out very much. He went directly to the swimming pool next to it for two laps and quickly recovered his excellent shooting feel.
On September 26, the Suns held a media day event, and the new season was about to begin.
