Chapter 23 23. "Bole" Mickey

The thorn in the 4-year contract?Regarding the signing of the Lakers this time, the major media have given negative reviews.

In their view, Kupchak was confused by Howard's departure.Although the annual salary should not be high, but the number of years is long!Due to the provisions of the contract, the specific details of the contract have not been disclosed for the time being, so Kupchak has become the object of ridicule by everyone.

"You guys just laugh slowly, I'm laughing too!" Kupchak put the newspaper aside, he still prefers newspapers to reading news on a computer, and many of the news that went up were recorded by his assistant Come and tell him.

Signing Whiteside, Kupchak felt it was the right thing to do. On the first day of the trial, he only saw Whiteside's flexible footwork and speed. After signing, he let Whiteside and Sack, who is about to participate in the summer league. Ray practiced together once, and Bai Bian easily beat Thackeray. His shot-blocking awareness was simply amazing, and Thackeray was the only one who was big-hearted.

If nothing else, Kupchak will keep him just by blocking the shot.

Marshall was taken by Dan D'Antoni to play in the summer league, and Whiteside stayed. First, he kept the mystery. Since those people mocked Kupchak's signing this time, Kupchak intends to let them continue to mock. Time to slap them in the face.

And Kupchak saw it. Although Whiteside didn't say anything, he was definitely holding back his anger, but he couldn't resist refuting.There are not many players with such energy and stamina. He heard an old Chinese saying and thought it was very reasonable, and it was very suitable for Whiteside. skin.

Thinking that he actually discovered Liu Ren and Whiteside, two players who might break out, Kupchak felt that he was really a discerning general manager.

It is a time when everyone is narcissistic. Kupchak was very disappointed when he lost Howard just now. Now that he has a genius, he can finally ease his mood. It is also possible to be narcissistic.

"Baibian, who is the worst, has such strength, so the other two recommended by Liu?" Kupchak couldn't help it when he thought of this, being a Bole is addictive...

……

Liu Ren looked relieved and finally bought the house!
It is tiring to go shopping with a woman, and even more tiring to buy a house with a woman!But this is still to buy a house for myself, and the chick is here to help, so Liu Ren can't complain.

For a whole week, I went to see the house every afternoon, and finally found a satisfactory villa on the seventh day.

For this reason, Chen Hanni also encouraged Liu Ren to sign a few endorsements with a few small sponsors, the kind that only needs to take some promotional photos, and got 400 million after-tax endorsement fees, and now he has 5 endorsements hanging on him , although only signed for one year.

As for those big endorsement contracts, such as sneakers, soft drinks, etc., they are still waiting to choose the best offer when the time comes. Now their endorsement fees are far below Chen Hanni's psychological price.

These Liu Ren don't want to ask, anyway, this chick looks very smart, let her toss it, Liu Ren really admires himself for being able to attract a strong man to a smart manager.

Liu Ren received a one-year salary advance from the team, which amounted to more than 340 million. At the same time, Chen Hanni also received 11 US dollars.

With a property of 740 million US dollars, Liu Ren has enough money to buy a house.

In the end, Chen Hanni, who shopped around at N's house, chose a villa located in the east of Beverly Hills, near West Hollywood.

This place is a relatively cheap area in Beverly Hills. Since it is not particularly far from Hollywood, the greenery is definitely not as good as the west and north areas, but it is worse than the price here, the villa is big enough, and the yard is also big.

The house part of the villa covers an area of ​​more than 200 pings, almost 700 square meters, with 6 bedrooms, a gym, a home theater, a game room, two living rooms, 1 bathrooms and two outdoor toilets .

In the past, Liu Ren didn't know why the residences exposed by these stars had more than a dozen bathrooms, because it was too big, and it was very inconvenient not to have bathrooms in each room.There are two outdoor bathrooms, one near the swimming pool and the other near the basketball court.

This villa has a swimming pool, a basketball court, and a large courtyard. Although the surrounding environment is not as good as that in the northwest of Beverly Hills, it is only compared with the Northwest, compared with other villa areas outside of Beverly Hills. , the environment here is simply too good to not want.

Liu Ren is very satisfied with this place, and Chen Hanni is also very satisfied. The former is satisfied because it is big enough, while the latter is satisfied because it is not far from the business district and the price is very reasonable.

The original owner of the villa was a couple who rebuilt the villa in 09. They are now planning to immigrate to New Zealand to buy a ranch to raise cattle, so they sold it.

The couple are Lakers fans, so seeing that Liu Ren came to buy the house, they directly quoted the lowest price in their hearts, 550 million US dollars, which was [-]% cheaper than the market price!
The market valuation of this house is 700 million. This valuation is assessed by the taxation department of the government, and it is related to the annual housing tax, so it is very strict.

But if it is really sold at the listed price, it may not be sold for several years. Those stars leave the city where they have lived for many years to play in other cities. In the end, I even waited until I retired to live by myself, or sold it at a low price after bankruptcy.

Therefore, when the seller actually trades, it is usually much cheaper than the market price.

Market price The market price is only the price estimated by the people who make the market. Since this estimate is given by the tax department, it will naturally be relatively high. After all, it is related to taxation.

Houses in the United States are relatively cheap. If such a large villa were located in the magic capital of China, it would probably be demolished and rebuilt, right?Such a big villa doesn't have hundreds of millions of soft sister coins in the first-tier cities in China, so don't even think about buying it.

Houses in the United States are cheap because of property taxes.

The real estate tax is collected according to the valuation of the house. The tax rate varies greatly in each state. In the most economically developed areas like California, the tax rate usually does not exceed 7%. That is, in the future, Liu Ren will have to pay [-] US dollars for the house every year. Tax.

And like Texas, the housing tax rate is as high as [-]%, and the Texas economy is not as good as imagined, so the tax department will have a significantly higher valuation of housing services and collect more taxes.Texas claims to have no state tax. In fact, other taxes are enough to get back that little state tax, or even more. The tax department will never do a loss-making business.

This is also because although Texas claims to have no state tax, it is not very attractive in all walks of life. Athletes have not flocked here because there is no state tax. The athletes' agents are not stupid. places earn more money.
