Kings of the Game: Getting Back to the Game, Beginning with the NBA

Chapter 89 Liu Ming, are you planning to cross the border again?
There is no need to go to work, and some people spend money to support themselves.

Liu Ming had no objection.

The weekly salary is 16000 pounds, the appearance fee is 10000 pounds, and the bonus for not conceding a goal is 8000 pounds.

The most important thing is that he does not need to participate in daily training, which does not affect his recruitment to the national track and field team and the Lakers' games.

You only need to play a few key games when the first goalkeeper Alisson is injured and you happen to be free.

Liu Ming didn't even dare to think about this treatment beforehand.

But although he is very satisfied with this extra income, he does not know much about the income of football players.

So he didn't answer Liverpool directly. After all, Xu Si is his only partner and gold agent, and even his future partner.

So, Liu Ming took James' luxury car and returned to the luxurious apartment he temporarily rented in Los Angeles City, and immediately dialed Xu Si's number.

"You still know to call me? There is a lot of noise on the Internet about the strongest 'spear-shield battle' between you and Takumi Minamino!"

When Xu Si heard Liu Ming's voice, he burst into curses.

"I... won! Little Nihong got zero blocks on the basketball court, and I also got zero blocks on the green field."

Liu Ming scratched his head in embarrassment and could only talk about his record.

"Win what you win, do you know how anxious I was when I found out about this! If you are shown off on the green field, do you know how the Chinese will scold you! Why do you not let me worry?" Xu Si said angrily.

"Well, I will definitely discuss it with you in advance next time." Liu Ming felt the concern in Xu Si's tone, so he took the initiative to confess.

"Is there a next time? Liu Ming, are you looking for a fight?" My own earnestness didn't have any effect, Xu Si's temper suddenly came up again, "So what if you win Minano Takumi?"

"You are a basketball player, oh no, you are a track and field runner, who would think that you won by your real skills?"

"There is no benefit, it will only attract endless criticism to you!"

"Ming'er, we will definitely not do this kind of thing that is not worth the loss in the future. Do you remember?"

Liu Ming sighed, "Sister, Liverpool want to sign me as their second goalkeeper."

"..." There was a silence on the phone: "Really?"

"Well, really, the tentative weekly salary is 16000 pounds, which is similar to the conditions of the Lakers. I don't need to participate in training, and it doesn't take up my playing and running time. I have the right to choose whether to play or not... I think it's best to wait for you to come back tomorrow and talk to them in person."

There was a longer silence on the phone this time, and at the end Xu Si complained: "Liu Ming...you can really give me a hard time."

……

at the same time.

Due to the time difference between Los Angeles and China, Director Zhao of the Field Management Center also chose to report to Director Li by overseas phone at this time.

Traveled all the way, but the boss's account was not done.

Officer Zhao was a little nervous in his heart. In order to shirk responsibility in the report, it was inevitable to add embellishments.

"Director, this Liu Ming is too ignorant."

"Although he broke the Asian record, he must obey the management of the center!"

"It's the same for enterprises. We work hard for them! As a result, Liu Ming didn't know what was said in the phone call, so he suddenly decided not to sign. Isn't this just kidding us?"

Director Li on the other end of the phone was calm, "Okay, their boss Xiao Tian has already communicated with me about this matter, and I know it well."

Director Zhao took a sigh of relief, and at the same time decided to seize the opportunity to put eye drops on Liu Ming, "Director, you don't know how hateful Liu Ming is. When we came to Los Angeles, his agent said it well, and all board and lodging will be covered by them. But it turned out to be a bad check, which caused the current budget to exceed by a large amount..."

"You just need to communicate with Manager Wang in private about the overspending. Mr. Oda knows how to deal with it. By the way, your sister Bingqian said she wants you to buy a piece of Richard Miller for her. Anyway, I don't understand. You can contact her later, keep the receipt, and I will transfer the money to you personally when I come back."

"Okay, don't worry, Director, I promise to satisfy you."

Hearing this, Officer Zhao was not only not annoyed, but rather beamed with joy.

Director Li gave a "hmm" and changed the subject: "As for Liu Ming, if he doesn't want to reconcile, then he's fine. Isn't the General Administration of Sports always studying the policy of athletes crossing borders and sports? Looking back, taking advantage of this shareholder wind, there must be a way to deal with him."

Officer Zhao on the other end of the phone was stunned, "Director, what you are talking about is the selection policy of the General Assembly for the Winter Olympics' cross-border and cross-sports, but what does this have to do with Liu Ming?"

"In addition to running track and field, Liu Ming now also plays basketball. But he is really good at basketball. He is treated like a star locally and has a lot of fans."

"If we really let him go to the national men's basketball team, I'm worried that it's just breeding tigers."

Director Zhao was kind enough to offer advice and suggestions, but instead of praising him, Director Li clinker yelled, "After you go abroad, what do you do all day! Even the domestic media is making a lot of noise about the 'Battle of the Strongest Contradictions in the East and Japan', and you didn't get any news from the local area?"

"What is the Battle of the Eastern Sun? Director, I have been desperately fighting jet lag for the past two days, and I have to go out to pick out gifts for you and auntie at other times..."

"..." There was a moment of silence on the phone. "Today, Liu Ming was the goalkeeper and blocked the Neon National Football Team Takumi Minamino. After this video was broadcast in China, it attracted a lot of attention."

"How is it possible? Liu Ming is going to cross the border again!" Director Zhao is an out-and-out football fan, so after hearing this, he would instinctively question, "I know, director. James of the Lakers is a minority shareholder of Liverpool, so they must have bought Takumi Minamino in advance to let Liu Ming put on a show."

"We don't have to worry about whether they are showing off." Director Li said sharply: "Liu Ming has just broken the Asian record, and with his outstanding performance in the Lakers, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the hottest athlete in Asia. The commercial value will definitely be a piece of fat in the future, so they can't help the Football Association..."

"Director, I still don't understand what you mean."

"What is the national football team? It's a stinking ditch! No matter how talented athletes pass by, they will turn into a pile of stinky shit every minute. So, when the national football team comes to the field management center to ask for someone, I just go along with the flow..."

"I seem to understand." Director Zhao was able to become the person next to Director Li, and his head was still spinning quickly. "The income from the commercial development of our country's athletes will eventually be shared by the association. Once the athletes cross borders and cross sports, this part of the money will definitely have something to say. So even if they know that Liu Ming is putting on a show, the Football Association will definitely not miss this opportunity to pick up money."
