"The country's money is not storm. In the words of you Americans, how can you spend money on taxpayers? You must have a name." Yao Ming smiled lightly. Although he felt that he was very compatible with Stephen, he did not agree with Stephen's idea in this matter. Perhaps it was caused by the different environments of the two people since childhood, but they were the same writing and ancestors after all, and Stephen had no harm in this matter. Why should we raise such high conditions?

"But I can't bear this loss personally. You have also said that you were extorted a lot of money by your local management department, and you even called them evil wolf." This is the difference in the fundamental concepts of both sides. In Stephen's view, no matter what, you cannot harm my private interests, just like the "sacred and inalienable" advocated by Westerners. Why can I make sacrifices for other people?

But Yao Ming was used to this concept. Even if the health management department extorted a large amount of his income, he could vent his dissatisfaction in private, but he eventually handed over this batch of income. This is also the fundamental difference in the two people's philosophy. By this time, both of them had a little displeasure about today's conversation.

Fortunately, Yao's mother came over to break the dullness between the two. She didn't know what was going on in the room, but she knew that the two were hiding in the room and talking. After talking for so long, she was a little worried, worried that Yao Ming would say something bad, and mess up the matter, so she came out to liven up the atmosphere.

She sat there and asked Stephen about his situation, and then asked Stephen’s parents about him, when he would be moving to Seattle, whether Stephen has a girlfriend, whether she would go to the Chinese women’s basketball team to introduce Stephen to him, etc. Although she spoke a little, she gave people a feeling of caring like a spring breeze and rain.

"You are not planning to ask for cash for this billion US dollars, right?" After Yao's mother left, the two of them felt that they had been together again. Yao Ming asked Stephen with a smile. He felt that if Stephen did not give up this condition, the country would definitely not agree. Although the country is rich now, it is not just taking 100 million US dollars seriously.

"Of course not, but I have to make up for the losses here, no matter what form it is. In addition, I solemnly declare that it is not 100 million, but more than 100 million." Stephen did not think that he could really get 100 million US dollars in cash. Anyway, he didn't want to go too much, and if he didn't give it, he wouldn't go.

"That's good. Since you accept various forms, there's no problem." Yao Ming didn't care about that. Naturally, professionals would worry about this kind of thing. All he had to do was turn this over and let those people in the country know Stephen's thoughts.

He didn't think that the country would really pay $100 million, no matter what form it was, but he had fulfilled his obligations and the rest had nothing to do with him.

The day after Stephen returned to Seattle, Yao Ming called and said that he had contacted the country and recognized Stephen's inference that the losses suffered, but he would only pay $100 million to compensate. The specific amount of money depends on how Stephen negotiated with the people in the country who were responsible for the negotiation.

Stephen did not expect that the country would really agree with this matter. Although 100 million US dollars is nothing to a country, for a player, even Garnett, O'Neal, and Kobe, who have the highest annual salary, will take several seasons to save enough, and at the same time, they have to endure the exploitation of the state tax authorities.

After Stephen agreed, the two sides officially entered the negotiation stage. A negotiating team was sent to Seattle to take charge of the matter. The team was led by a deputy director of the General Administration of Sports, and a deputy director came from the Basketball Management Center. A director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission was also present. Hong Tianpei, who was in charge of contact, also came to Seattle.

But the negotiations were not carried out here. Before the negotiations were reached, Stephen didn't want people to know, so he arranged for them to go to San Francisco again. Mordance also arrived there in person to organize the negotiations. He was also responsible for contacting Stephen and telling Stephen the latest situation, and then negotiated according to Stephen's instructions.

Although the two sides have basically reached an agreement, the result will not be reached in a day or two. At the same time, Stephen also needs to train with peace of mind and prepare for the game. Stephen did not show up, anyway, he increased his bargaining chips in his negotiations.

Although this matter was initially entered the process because of his own good intentions, I analyzed it later and found that if this matter could be done, it would not only be an explanation to the leaders, but also a good thing for the Olympics this summer, but also for them, although it is a little risky, it is also a huge political capital.

Regulating players is very simple for this country with multiple nationalities, but it is not possible for China. Except for those unknown small foreign countries, Chinese nationality is the most difficult to obtain, but all this is not a problem for Stephen.

The first thing the two sides reached was to speed up the agreement to reach a consensus, and then talked about controversial things one by one. The first thing they reached was an agreement with the Basketball Management Center. Although the Basketball Management Center is the highest center of power for Chinese basketball, it is the weakest party in this matter.

Stephen proposed not to force participation in non-important competitions such as warm-up matches and charity matches. The Basketball Management Center knew that although Stephen’s value and influence were not as good as Yao Ming in China, it was also very different. However, Stephen’s international influence was higher than Yao Ming. If he could participate in these competitions, they would definitely be able to get more money from the sponsors of the national team, but they couldn’t control Stephen, so they had to give up this idea.

The Swiss Yingfang Company is responsible for organizing the national team warm-up event. They are responsible for organizing the event and then making profits from advertising and ticket revenue. At the same time, they also have to return part of the income to the Basketball Management Center. If you play a game, you can get a few times the income if you have Yao Ming or not. This is also the main reason why the Basketball Management Center has been forcing Yao Ming to participate in such events.

Stephen is not interested in participating in such a game. Of course, if you have rights, you have obligations. Stephen must fully cooperate with the national team's games in the Olympics or World Championships, and must do his best on the court. Of course, even if there are no regulations, Stephen will do it. The content that does not fall into the text is that the formation of the national team, whether it is a coach or a player, has certain advice.

After reaching an agreement with the Basketball Management Center, some of the procedures can be handled first. At this time, the SASAC personnel came to the front desk. This is also the highlight of the negotiations. Both sides took it seriously when it came to Stephen's income issue.
