Chapter 211 What do you want to do when you return to King Xiao?

Wang Xiao returned to China not entirely for vacation, but also had an important thing to do.

From July to the end of November, it is almost 5 months, which is a bit too long for the holiday.

Taking advantage of this rare holiday, Wang Xiao wanted to do something he had planned for a long time.

After first withdrawing all interviews and event invitations, Wang Xiao returned home and rested quietly for two weeks, relaxed and accompanied his parents.

Two weeks later, Wang Xiao called Dayao.

When Yao received a call from Wang Xiao, he was quite surprised. What surprised him even more was what Wang Xiao said on the phone.

After the NBA was shut down, Wang Xiao returned to China. This is something everyone knows. At that time, many media wanted to ask Wang Xiao for an exclusive interview, but all of them were rejected by Wang Xiao.

At that time, Yao Yao thought it was quite strange. Although Wang Xiao was a basketball coach, he led the Wizards to achieve excellent results for two consecutive years and even led the team to the finals this year. This made Wang Xiao's popularity in China grow day by day. Now he is almost the most famous figure in the domestic basketball circle except Yao Yao and Yi Jianlian.

Accepting more exclusive interviews from some media to increase exposure is beneficial or harmless for Wang Xiao, and there is no need to refuse. It would be fine if something happened, but Wang Xiao did not have any itinerary, which is a bit strange.

Now that he received a call from Wang Xiao, Dayao suddenly realized.

"So that's it. I didn't expect you to actually want to hold a basketball training camp!"

Wang Xiao smiled, "It's rare to have such an opportunity. I also want to see if I can cultivate one or two better seedlings for the country and can succeed you as the pillar of the national team in the future."

When Yao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Who is Wang Xiao? A genius coach! The number one Asian basketball coach!

His willingness to hold a basketball training camp to train players is a great thing for the whole of China!

Although he coached in the NBA for just two seasons, Wang Xiao’s vision of drafting, his methods of cultivating players and his unique tactical concepts seemed to be ahead of the NBA!

You know, NBA is the center of basketball in the world and represents the highest palace of basketball!

"That's great, is there anything I can help?"

As the number one player in China’s basketball, Dayao has always attached great importance to the development of China’s basketball, and he believes that he also has such an obligation.

Of course, Wang Xiao needs Yao Yao's help. In fact, as a coach who is scattered in the United States, Wang Xiao's connections in China are almost zero, and holding a basketball training camp is not something you can do with just talking.

The venues required for training, various professional training equipment, tutoring trainers... all require preparation.

In addition, there is the most important point, that is popularity, or appeal.

Although Wang Xiao is well-known in the country, he is far less well-known than Yao.

He started a basketball training camp, and only a small number of people could know the news and sign up.

Wang Xiao wanted to borrow Yao's fame and appeal to let more basketball enthusiasts know and come to participate.

"I can afford the rental fee for the venue and the employment of personnel." Wang Xiao said half-jokingly and half-seriously on the phone: "But if I ask you to be the spokesperson, I can't afford the endorsement fee."

Wang Xiao is now considered a little rich man.

But Wang Xiao still can't afford the endorsement fee for big names like Yaoyao.

When holding a basketball training camp, Wang Xiao was planning to invest in Aifa Power directly, and he was not prepared to charge registration fees or other fees.

Because this kind of training camp is also a candidate for Wang Xiao to screen for the appropriate growth template card, which is also out of certain selfishness.

He doesn't like the small amount of money for tuition fees for holding training camps.

When he first joined the Wizards, Wang Xiao signed a two-year contract with a salary of US$3 million per year. Before the contract expired around May this year, Glenfield brought Wang Xiao a new contract renewal. The contract period was three years and an annual salary of US$6 million.

Annual salary of 6 million US dollars is equivalent to double the original basis directly. Although this salary is only a middle-class contract among players, it can also be ranked upstream among coaches among 30 teams in the league.

Wang Xiao has only coached for two seasons in the NBA. Even though he has excellent results, his salary is very generous.

When signing the contract extension, Grenfield's face looked ugly. The team renewed the contract with Wang Xiao for three years, which means that he will continue to endure this guy's fingers at his team in the next three years.

But no matter how unhappy he was, he could only watch Wang Xiao sign his name on the contract extension.

Ultimately, this team belongs to the team owner Ted Leonsis, not Glenfield. This contract extension was also drafted at Leonsis' instruction, and he had no choice.

...

Without considering the annual salary of the new contract, Wang Xiao had $6 million in the previous two seasons alone, and 6 million in two years. With all kinds of taxes, various living expenses and money to respect his parents, Wang Xiao’s bank card deposits at this time were as high as more than 20 million people’s life coins, and he was a real millionaire.

Wang Xiao also thought about making some investments, such as investing in companies such as Apple, Alibaba, Twitter, and Facebook, whose market value will rise sharply in the future.

But Wang Xiao was just an ordinary player before traveling through time, and he didn't have a special understanding of these. Moreover, he usually devotes himself to basketball and has no energy to manage his finances.

Wang Xiao plans to hire an agent on Wall Street in the future and take advantage of his time traveler's foresight to make some investments, but now is not the time.

(After considering it carefully, as a time traveler, it is too stupid to make some money without taking advantage of the advantages of foresight. It is simply a plot bug. The simplest example is that the housing price in the capital was only more than 20,000 yuan per square meter in 2011. Now it has more than doubled. If you don’t do anything, you can make a profit and lose money. What’s more, there are many companies that can invest in. But this is a basketball novel after all, and I don’t think too much about describing things outside of basketball, so I will briefly mention it.)

...

"What's this? You are doing good things for the Chinese basketball world. Can I still ask for your endorsement fee?" Yao Ming was immediately dissatisfied when he heard Wang Xiao's words. "I am also from China and I want to do something for China! Don't worry, this matter is covered by me, and I will definitely satisfy you!"

Yao Yao had a considerable energy in China. In just one afternoon, he called Wang Xiao back.

"I contacted many sports halls, and they all expressed their willingness to rent the stadium out, where are you going to hold a training camp, the capital, Shanghai, or other cities."
