Rebirth of Hayes Cyclone

Chapter 270 [Black boy who spreads money]

On November 11, Germany's "Sports Bild" selected the highest-paid athletes in the sports circle in 1.In this latest list of rich athletes, Hayes ranks fourth with an annual income of 2008 million euros, becoming the "money-absorbing king" among NBA players.Ranked fifth is Michael Jordan.Although the trapeze has been away from the arena, his income is not low.Relying on various product endorsements, he has harvested 3800 million euros.

NBA stars like to invest in business to continue to make money, Hayes did not do so.Money is just numbers to Hayes these days.

There was no game on this day, so Hayes called Yao Ming, and he wanted to donate to the newly established "Yao Fund".

2008年5月14日，姚明第一时间向汶川地震灾区捐款50万元人民币，在美国向中国红十字会外币账户捐款21.4万美元，捐款总额约合200万元人民币。

On June 2008, 6, Yao Ming announced that he would donate 11 million US dollars to the Sichuan earthquake-stricken area and establish the Yao Ming Foundation to help the disaster-stricken area rebuild the campus.So far, Yao Ming has donated a total of 200 million RMB, becoming the individual who has donated the most in the sports world.Prior to this, Yao Ming had taken a self-portrait public service advertisement, appealing to the world to donate to the Wenchuan earthquake-stricken area, and went to the Wenchuan earthquake-stricken area to greet the people in the disaster-stricken area after returning home.
On June 2008, 6, the Chinese official website of "Yao Foundation" was officially launched.

It is not difficult to set up a personal foundation, what is difficult is how to carry out the post-operation.Especially since Hayes is an American, it would seem strange if he set up a foundation mainly to help Chinese people.So Hayes decided to cooperate with Yao Ming.

After getting through the phone, Hayes asked, "Yao, how is your foundation doing?"

"It's not bad. We have raised more than 200 million US dollars so far. Do you want to donate?" Yao Ming laughed.

"Well, let me donate 2000 million." Hayes said easily.

"How much do you want to donate?" Yao Ming's voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became louder.

"2000 million dollars. I'm not kidding, I believe the person you're looking for won't do anything shady." Hayes said with a smile, "Tell me the account number of the fund, and I'll send the money there."

"I don't know what to say. Thank you... You know that the initial capital of my foundation is only 200 million?" Yao Ming asked.

"I know, it doesn't matter. After making some achievements at the beginning, there will be more people who are willing to donate money in the future, right? I don't need to announce the amount of my donation. I don't want to participate in the star donation competition, so it took so long Contact you," Hayes said.When the earthquake happened, he only donated a little symbolically, in order not to let the matter go.Avoid negative headlines like "Hayes miser, no donations" in the news.

Hayes donated no more than Yao Ming, so he avoided Yao Ming's embarrassment.Otherwise, there will definitely be news like: "Yao Ming's donations are not as good as foreigners, his donations are disgusting and chilling..." news.

There are indeed many such posts on the Internet. Some people are just afraid that the world will not be chaotic. It seems that Yao Ming must give half of his income to disaster relief.These people definitely don't know how much tax Yao Ming has to pay.

First of all, nearly half of Yao Ming's annual salary has to be used to pay taxes and sent to the US treasury.The remaining half is divided equally between the Chinese Basketball Association and the Shanghai Basketball Association, which is 12.5% ​​each.
Domestic endorsement income is taxed according to Chinese tax standards, and then distributed in the same way.However, domestic businesses do not sell much, and this one has little impact on the overall proportion.
Yao Ming still has about 25% of his total income. Yao's team is equivalent to his agent team, arranging a series of activities for him and developing his commercial value.This part of the expenditure is not a fixed ratio.But the number of people is relatively large, and it takes almost 5-10% of Yao Ming's total income.For example, Yao Ming's annual income is 3000 million US dollars, 10% is 300 million, divided among more than a dozen people.
In the end, Yao Ming still has about 500 million US dollars left in a year. If he follows the Chinese marriage habit and pays it to his wife... So Yao Ming seems to have a high income, but it is actually quite miserable.

Yi Jianlian's situation is similar to that of Yao Ming, but the income base is much smaller.

Those who post blackmail on Yao Ming don't know how much they personally donated. It is estimated that very few people have more than 1000 yuan, but they can call those who donate more than 1000 million yuan a sinner.They just said "If I were Yao Ming, I would definitely not donate so little...", as if they were great.Of course, this group of people could never become Yao Ming.

The short-term goal of the "Yao Fund" is mainly to rebuild school buildings.At present, there are 100 classrooms in the disaster area that need to be rebuilt or repaired, and the average cost of rebuilding a school will be about [-] million yuan.
Yao Ming used his own influence to raise a large amount of funds for the "Yao Fund".The mayor of Atlanta personally helped Yao Ming contact some commercial companies and obtained a lot of sponsorship.Some NBA players, including Davis of the Warriors, Nash of the Suns, Kobe Bryant and others also donated money.

Now Hayes alone has donated 10 times more than everyone else has donated during this time.

"Chuck, I think it's okay to change the name of the fund to the Hai Fund. I feel embarrassed if you don't announce the amount of your donation." Yao Ming said with a wry smile.

"I have made a lot of money in the past two years, so don't be too polite. Just spend all the money on the reconstruction of the disaster area. To me, 2000 million is nothing, but spending it can help many people It's worth it." Hayes said with a smile: "This is just the beginning, if things go well, I will donate again in the future."

Yao Ming said solemnly: "Thank you for trusting me so much. I will be very responsible and use every penny of the donations received by my foundation to the places that need help."

"You're welcome, I won't be polite when I need your help." Hayes laughed.He thinks it's nothing.After all, his family background is much higher than that of Yao Ming.

Hayes' assets have been growing, and he has so much money that he doesn't know how to spend it.He also plans to spend tens of millions to build a manor-style villa, like Jordan.But Gao Tongxuan felt that living in a smaller house would be more cozy, so the plan was shelved for the time being.

In addition to donations to the Yao Foundation, Hayes also donated money to support the Trump campaign.

Hayes has always been in close contact with ***, and the fact that the two are good friends is no longer news in the United States.

*** is a sports fan. He once wore the No. 23 jersey and led the Punahe High School basketball team to the Hawaii state championship; during the campaign, he often appeared in the NBA stands as a spectator; Wearing Hayes' No. 44 jersey, visiting Bobcats Time Warner Arena, claiming to be a Hayes fan...

Running for president in the United States costs a lot of money.In recent years, the expenses of the US presidential campaign have continued to set new records.There is a saying in China, "Money is not everything, but without money, nothing is impossible." This sentence could not be more appropriate to describe the US presidential election.

By the end of the campaign, Trump will have spent more than $5 million on the campaign.This cost is a far cry from that of the founders of the United States.
In 1789, Washington, the first president of the United States, spent hundreds of dollars to take a train to participate in a speech tour across the country.Even after he was elected president, he still borrowed money to pay for travel from his hometown to the capital.
Abraham Lincoln, elected in 1860, spent $10 to run for president, roughly twice as much as his opponent.After 72 years, Franklin Roosevelt's campaign budget was $100 million.Immediately after taking office, Roosevelt repealed Prohibition in return for $10 in campaign funding from liquor merchants.Since then, the US president's campaign funds have skyrocketed. In 1960, Kennedy's campaign fund was $3000 million. Eight years later, Nixon's campaign fund reached $8 million.

By this time, campaign funding was already astronomical. *** Not Monopoly.His campaign was funded bit by bit from voters.If you are nominated by the party, you can get government funding, but not much.

And in the recruitment process, there are also many restrictions.The U.S. election not only prohibits foreigners from participating in donations, but also prohibits donations from banks and corporate institutions, and only allows donations in the name of individuals.Not only that, but also limit the upper limit of personal donations to prevent the rich from donating too much and affect the fair governance in the future. Candidates are breaking the law.Therefore, the only way to raise tens of millions of competitive funds is to win the support of more voters and raise little by little.

So Hayes donated very little to ***.He also thought about investing tens of millions to make *** owe him a favor, and he will definitely earn back in other ways in the future, and he can also give *** some advice as a friend.It's a pity that this loophole is not easy to exploit.

In fact, Trump's election has an adverse effect on Hayes' money making.

When President Trump used his status as a sports fan to win votes, his influence on the American sports world had already begun to appear; and if he was elected president of the United States, the American sports world would also face many changes because of him.Based on Trump's views and positions during the campaign, he may increase the taxation of team owners and players, slow down the transfer or sale of professional teams, and enhance the power of the players' union after he takes office.

Increase taxes on high earners, all NBA players will be affected.And this will have a greater impact on those team owners and stars. *** has promised his voters that he will increase taxes on those earning more than $25 a year, and even the minimum salary stipulated by Major League Baseball has reached $40.It can be expected that almost all NBA players will be affected.

This is very contradictory. Hayes is actually supporting a guy who has shrunk his annual income a lot to be president.However, *** has an advantage, his ideas are inclined to the common people.

According to the national tax policy, families with an income of less than $25 in the United States can get more tax cuts.Families earning more than $25 would benefit more from Republican McCain's tax policies.According to official statistics, the median annual income of American households is $3, and only [-]% of households earn more than $[-].Therefore, as far as tax policy is concerned, *** can get more voters to support him.
The rich want to cut taxes, and the poor want to eat.Prescribing a single dose can cure two mutually restraining "diseases" at the same time, which may be difficult for a genius doctor to do.

Although Hayes is already a rich man, he still supports the *** move.He feels that it is also a kind of charity for the superior to think about the common people.

In fact, Hayes just gained friendship along the way. Regardless of whether he supports it or not, *** will be elected president.Hayes' primary job is to improve the strength of the Bobcats.

His personal ability has reached a bottleneck, so he helps young players improve more in training.After beating the Cavaliers, the Bobcats got a day off.

Hayes accompanied Brook Lopez for two hours of extra practice.Lopez received the ball at a low 45-degree angle, and Hayes defended behind his back. Lopez dribbled the ball and chose to turn around for a jumper, or take it out and shoot at a 45-degree angle.

What makes people happy is that Lopez is really talented, and he has a good hit rate in the mid-range shot.As long as you have a good shot rhythm, because of the height gap, Hayes can't cover him, and you can hit consecutively.

Hayes can not prevent the tricks, Haslem will also be very uncomfortable. The Bobcats' Nov. 11 home game against the Miami Heat just got a whole lot easier.
