Chapter 261 [Dedicated to graduation, robbery-style signing]
After returning home, Guo Xu and Megan Fox had a disagreement because she did not plan to go to Phoenix together, at least not for the time being, and would stay in Los Angeles to complete her studies.
Schools in the United States are divided into four stages according to age. One is grades 1-6 (6-12 years old); the other is grades 7 and 8 (13-14 years old); the next is grades 9-12 (15-18 years old); the last is the university generally a 4-year undergraduate, and there are also two-year junior colleges and technical colleges.
Before coming to Los Angeles, Meghan got her junior high school diploma in Port St. Lucie. She is now studying high school courses in the acting class, and she is very persistent in getting her high school diploma.
"Vanessa and Kobe both have high school education. If I don't finish my studies, I'll be so embarrassing to go to Phoenix in the future. The reporter will definitely dig out my background and say I'm illiterate." Megan said depressedly.
Guo Xu knew that he couldn't persuade him, and saying too much would make people disgusted. There are two types of things that people should do as little as possible. One is to interfere with other people's lives with their own mouths, and the other is to rely on other people's brains to think about their own lives.
So, Guo Xu decided to support Megan, although she had been doing very poorly in school and had no one friend.
Meghan, who is as charming as a flower and jade, has an elegant body and a unique temperament, which can easily arouse students' disgust and jealousy.
The above is Meghan's narcissism. The real situation is that a female classmate wants to know Guo Xu, but she does not introduce her, never takes her classmates home, and throws all the phone numbers given to Guo Xu into the trash can. Can such a person have friends? It would be great if he was not beaten up!
As for the male classmates who want to pursue Meghan, the usual reply is: "I have a boyfriend." She can always easily keep people from thousands of miles away.
In addition, Meghan also wants to be an actor in Los Angeles and prove that she can become a star. She doesn’t want to always rely on Guo Xu, don’t want to be a useless person raised by stars, and long for career success.
If Meghan said these ideas, Guo Xu would be able to laugh for a week. Because she usually cooks and does housework at home, she is obviously raising Guo Xu. Guo Xu earns so much money, and the pocket money he gives her is a drop in the bucket. This scum really treated Meghan as a maid at first, but later he developed a habit.
Guo Xu and Meghan chatted for a while and found that she had returned to the route she was going to take in her previous life.
In her previous life, 2003, Meghan's career started. She also succeeded in looking at the mirror without a backstage. She starred in youth films such as "Gangsters and Fashion" and "Youth Dance Queen". They are all bad girls with many roles.
Guo Xu thought it would be good to let her exercise, not to mention that there are a group of people in the entertainment industry, including Jason Statham, Paul Walker, Robert Smith, etc., she would not be bullied. Even if no one takes care of her, others can't bully her. She is very arrogant.
In mid-July, Guo Xu and Chevrolet completed a contract renewal, signed a five-year, $40 million contract with an average annual endorsement fee of 8 million. After his endorsement, Chevrolet is not only one of the most popular car brands in the United States, but also became popular abroad.
Guo Xu also personally provided advertising ideas and shot a very interesting version of the advertisement.
The advertisement started with thrilling scenes. The child was about to stumble on the stone steps and was hugged by an adult; someone was swinging in the park, and the child was kicked when he was running forward and was hugged by an adult; the child was hugged when he learned to ride a bicycle and hit a tree when he was about to hit a tree; at an outdoor barbecue party, the child was hugged when he ran and hit a brazier...
Then Guo Xu drove the Camaro sports car and looked out the window. He was attracted by Megan on the side of the road. He didn't notice that a car in front was poured out from the corner. When the two cars were about to collide, Camaro suddenly braked and stopped himself.
In August, Guo Xu called a few friends to travel to Hawaii.
Hawaii is the most pleasant resort on earth, with only two seasons throughout the year. For Hawaii, December to April of the following year, June to August is the peak tourist season, which is most suitable for activities at sea.
This year, because of the men's basketball World Championships, the season training camp was opened relatively late. Guo Xu was not in a hurry to practice football, but just wanted to relax. Before he went to Phoenix, he wanted to spend more time with his friends.
At the same time, other NBA teams are still strengthening in the free market.
After Guo Xu signed with the Suns, the teams that wanted to pursue him went to the next best and signed with other players.
The Pistons signed point guard Changsey Billups for 6 years and 35 million.
This is the robbery signing. Billups scored 22 points, 5 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1 steal in three playoffs in the Timberwolves last season, shooting 45.1% from the field and 40% from three-point shooting. He played in 28.7 minutes in the regular season, averaging 12.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists, shooting 42.3% from the field and 39.4% from the three-point shooting.
It was just because Billups had a bad reputation before that other teams regarded him as a problem player and were unwilling to issue him a big contract. Joining the Pistons was the biggest offer he could receive.
In Guo Xu's previous life, this was one of the most successful signings in the history of the Pistons. In the six years of the Pistons, Billups helped the team reach the Eastern Conference Finals six times and defeated the "Lakes F4" in 2004 to win the championship.
The Timberwolves do not have the ability to renew Billups, and many capable players can leave as soon as their contracts expire.
Garnett's annual salary is equivalent to two Kobes, with a whopping $25.2 million next season. Timberwolves veteran point guard Trier Brandon also has a salary of 10.18 million. With Joe Smith's 5 million, the team's three have reached the salary cap.
The Pistons also completed a deal of up to six players with the Wizards. The Pistons sent Starkhouse, Cardinal and Varda in exchange for the "scalpel" Hamilton, Bursher Davis and 2001 rookie Bobby Simmons.
The Wizards signed Charles Oakley, who called himself Jordan's bodyguard, and the two collaborated again at the end of their career.
Defender Larry Hughes joins the Wizards freely. He is an excellent defender who can play a role in both offense and defense. Jordan wanted to prove himself before retiring, so he would recruit all his troops in the summer.
Jazz veteran Brian Russell also chose the Wizards. He failed to defend Jordan's final goal back then and became a famous background board. Now, he is superstitious that Jordan can still create miracles in the last year and lead the team to win.
The media has made great efforts to promote the legends. I believe they will make great achievements in the new season. It is not difficult to enter the playoffs, but I just don’t know how far they can go in the playoffs.
In fact, what really made money after the transaction was the Pistons. Hamilton was the most powerful player in the transaction. Last season, he was the second scorer behind Jordan.
Hamilton's off-ball run is very sharp and his physical strength is unlimited. Unfortunately, he is a player who mainly shoots mid-range shots. If his shooting range is a little longer and he is mainly three-point shooting, his offensive efficiency will be higher, and he can change from an ordinary star to a superstar.
The Pistons have become a very competitive team in the Eastern Conference. The only weakness is that the front line is weaker, one less star power forward, and small forward Prince still needs to train.
Guo Xu didn't regret it after reading the news. He prefers to treat the Pistons as his opponent. Whether it is Rick Carlisle or the future Larry Brown, they are coaches who emphasize defense as the main ones, which is not in line with his appetite.
