Chapter 400 How to spend so much money?
In fact, Chen Yu's contract can really give Bill Duffy an explanation.

Before Chen Yu insisted on choosing a domestic sneaker contract, Bill Duffy still complained about this, and always felt that there might be some problems with Chen Yu's choice.

But looking at it now, leaving aside other aspects, at least there is really no problem with the amount of Chen Yu's sneaker contract.

After all, this is 500 million!

Fifteen million a year, which is already higher than the contract the Lakers gave Chen Yu, not to mention the subsequent equity.

The previous contract value that Eucalyptus gave to Billy Thompson was only 300 million US dollars a year!

The price disparity in the middle is already quite astonishing.

However, judging from Chen Yu's current performance, the money is really worth it. How many pairs of sneakers can be sold?It can even break into the US market.

After all, Chen Yu is not only strong and good in statistics, but also has a lot of topicality and drama in him. There are many fans in the United States, and because he is backed by the two big trees of the Lakers and Los Angeles, his Popularity and fan stickiness are very high.

So this is indeed a win-win situation.

After the matter is temporarily settled, it can be considered that Chen Yu has a heart disease, not that he expected to earn much money from it, mainly because as a player, these things need to be handled, and now he has completed one thing Son.

He feels that this condition is indeed quite generous. After all, even if his performance reaches the level of Kobe James, an annual income of 500 million US dollars is definitely considered very high.

... At night, Chen Yu didn't hide anything, and directly told Elizabeth about it.

In fact, it is impossible to hide this thing. Chen Yu's popularity is so high now, everyone will naturally announce many things in every detail.

After hearing this, Elizabeth's mouth was wide open: "Oh my God, so much money!"

Indeed, the money is already very large.

Now the highest paid male star in the world is "Iron Man" star Robert Downey Jr. His annual income is only tens of millions of dollars.

Chen Yu's current sneaker contract and the salary contract of the Lakers, plus some other endorsement contracts and other income, can already reach more than 3000 million US dollars a year!
Therefore, Elizabeth really felt that the money was too much.

"You're so rich!" Elizabeth looked at Chen Yu and said.

Chen Yu smiled: "I always feel that after the money reaches a certain level, it's just a number, and I don't know what the use of so much money is."

For him, he really doesn't know where too much money can be used.

After all, he is not like a star like Howard now. He has seven or eight illegitimate children outside, and the annual support fee is a jaw-dropping fee. For a large team, various expenditures in one year alone are an irreparable black hole.

Many NBA stars not only fight for themselves, but also support a team. Players like Iverson have more relatives and friends who need to help them. They spend so much money, but in fact, they can add up to a lot, and they can empty the wallet of a professional player!

What's more, players will always retire, but their desires have already been brought up...

But Chen Yu doesn't have these problems at all. Apart from the material cost of the system, his biggest expense is the expense of maintaining his body. This aspect is becoming more and more important, and he needs more and more money. It's unbearable, but even so, it's 200 million US dollars a year.

He is not the type who was afraid of being poor when he was a child, and becomes a miser when he grows up. He grew up in a relatively warm and happy environment, and the relationship between his family and him is also very good, so these problems do not exist.

So Chen Yu felt that the money was basically too much to spend.

Elizabeth shook her head, and then said: "Chen, it's not that simple. I'm telling you that it's not that I want your money. In fact, I can tell you that our things should be separated, and I won't use them. Your money!"

Chen Yu was a little helpless: "Hey, why did you suddenly mention this? Do you think I will doubt this? Besides, I am not such a stingy person."

"I know. I just want to make it clear to you." Elizabeth said: "What I want to tell you is that money is more important than you think! I know that you are a young boy, your career has just started, and the future There are too many opportunities, and you have nothing to worry about, money is just a number. Yes, all of this is true, but this is only for you now... In fact, you are enjoying it now With all these things, you are rich, you are a world-renowned basketball player, and you feel that you will continue to be like this in the future! However, you will definitely retire one day, even if you are Michael Jordan, Messi, Ronaldo, You will also have a day to retire! Before retiring, you can fight for your status on the court, but after you retire, it is money that determines your status.”

"Of course I understand your character. You may think that any status is useless, but this is just your current thinking. In fact, when you spend more than ten years or even 20 years in the NBA After that, your thoughts will definitely change, and you will get used to the life under the spotlight. You will become a person in the upper class, and the money will not be enough to spend. The gap after retirement will be magnified to a terrible level. What's more, after you You will meet more rich people, and you will find that your money is not enough in front of them. What's more, you may want to own a basketball team in the future, and then you will find that your money is not enough. not enough……"

Elizabeth said a lot in one breath, and Chen Yu also understood why she had to declare in advance that she would not use her own money, because these words belonged to the theory of killing one's heart, and could easily be understood by Chen Yu as Elizabeth wanting to use herself as a tool to make money , That's why I brainwashed myself like this.

But at least Chen Yu really listened to these words, because he was sad to find that what Elizabeth said were all true.

Because now Chen Yu is going through such a process of change...and this process may continue forever.
