826 Thirty million dollars for nothing
Zeng Xinyi's condition improved, which made Wang Yi feel a lot more relaxed.
Although Chris Barnes' condition has not improved, he has been optimistic since then because of Wang Yi's encouragement in that game.
Whenever he feels bad, he will watch a Kings game.
Every time he sees his brother and Wang Yi fighting hard on the court and never giving up until the last second, his heart will be filled with strength.
The younger brother is less depressed, and the older brother, Barnes, is less depressed.
…
Good news came today.
Luo Xiang won the lawsuit.
Stephen A. Smith’s lawsuit against Wang Yi is actually much simpler than the last Pan Guoguo case.
Because there is so much evidence that Smith has blackmailed Wang Yi, I just searched a lot of them online.
This is an established fact.
So what Smith’s defense lawyer has to do is to pick out words and play word games?
And this can be said to be Luo Xiang’s area of ​​expertise.
If you want to play with me in my professional field, wouldn't that be a big deal in front of Guan Gong?
After several hearings, the other party's lawyers were unable to defend Luo Xiang.
When the trial finally opened, Wang Yi did not even appear in court.
Luo Xiang is the sole agent.
As a result, the other party's defense lawyer was thoroughly defended by Luo Xiang.
The original claim was US$30 million, but because Luo Xiang caught several mistakes made by the other party's lawyer, the compensation for mental damages was unexpectedly increased by US$8 million.
In the end, a total compensation of US$38 million was obtained.
What’s even more surprising is that during the process of filing this lawsuit, Luo Xiang also returned to China to sue a pirated website.
A pirated website pirated one of his books on legal education.
As a result, he went back and sued the pirated website three times, five divided by two, and the pirated website was blocked directly, and the boss was sent to jail.
When Smith A. Smith heard the judge pronounce the sentence, he slumped in his chair.
As a famous sports celebrity in the United States, he was also very eloquent in the past.
But in front of Luo Xiang, he felt that his mouth was only used for eating.
And the compensation of US$38 million is not a small amount.
Although he has made a lot of money from Black James and Wang Yi over the years, a figure like him not only makes money, but also spends a lot of money.
Although he opened an investment company, it was a partnership with others, and the funds in it were not his own.
The total money he can get now is just over 5 million US dollars.
Good guy, now I have lost more than 38 million in one go, and I am going bankrupt.
But there is no way, even if you borrow money, you will have to pay.
In the past, the better Wang Yi performed in competitions, the more enthusiastic Stephen A. Smith became.
Because it can attract more eyeballs.
But recently, the Kings have won 27 consecutive games, but Stephen A. Smith didn't even dare to fart.
Because now he is too exhausted to take care of himself.
He also thought about appealing, but because the things he said against Wang Yi were established facts, and sometimes his words were very ugly and involved insulting Wang Yi and his teammates, so even if he appealed, he had no chance of winning.
In the end, he could only collect US$38 million through loans and borrowing money and returned it to Wang Yi.
After giving this money to Wang Yi, this guy can be considered honest.
In the past half month, I haven't blackmailed anyone.
This US$38 million is equivalent to free money for Wang Yi.
Of course, not all of the US$38 million is Wang Yi’s own; Luo Xiang’s legal fees must also be paid.
Generally, the starting fee is 5,000 yuan, and if the amount exceeds a certain amount, an additional 1% to 2% of the disputed property will be charged. Of course, the amount can also be decided based on negotiation between the two people.
This 38 million US dollars can be said to be free, and Luo Xiang must have done a lot of work to win the lawsuit, so Wang Yi and Luo Xiang agreed to give him 10% to 20%.
But Luo Xiang only said: "If you must pay legal fees, then just donate the legal fees."
He is not short of money either.
So Wang Yi divided the money into three parts.
The US$20 million was divided into two parts and donated to the domestic Hope Project.
One portion was donated in Luo Xiang's name, and the other was donated in his own name.
Luo Xiang knew that Wang Yi actually donated 10 million US dollars for him, and he was not hypocritical.
For a $38 million case, paying him $10 million in legal fees is indeed too much.
But since it's donated to Project Hope, it doesn't matter.
As for the remaining $18 million, Wang Yi plans to buy a house in Sacramento.
Now that he has settled in Sacramento, renting an apartment all the time is not an option.
And he has already taken a fancy to a villa online.
No. 90 Binhe Avenue.
Sacramento is not a big city like New York and Los Angeles, and houses here are relatively much cheaper than New York and Los Angeles.
In fact, Wang Yi has never bought a house before, firstly because he is not in a hurry about buying a house, and secondly because he does not have the house he likes.
90 Riverside Avenue is now on the market for $2.89 million.
Compared with James's Beverly Hills mansion worth more than 30 million US dollars, it can be said that the price is much different.
But compared to the environment there, Wang Yi prefers No. 90 Binhe Avenue.
Many people may not know that Los Angeles and Sacramento both belong to California. Although Los Angeles is more famous than Sacramento, Sacramento is actually the capital of California.
There is a big river in the city of Sacramento, the Sacramento River.
Wang Yi and Nicole drove along the Riverside Avenue for about 20 minutes.
Then we left Hebin Avenue and drove forward for about 10 minutes before arriving at No. 90 Binhe Avenue.
All I could see was flat fields all around.
It can be said to be endless.
The villa is right in the middle of the fields.
The area of ​​the villa is not large, only more than 500 square meters, which is small compared to other superstars who often have 800, 900 or even thousands of square meters.
Of course, the area mentioned here is not what China customarily calls house purchase area.
It's the net area you can use.
There are 6 bathrooms, 5 bedrooms, billiards room, entertainment room, parent-child activity room, etc. in the room.
There is also an outdoor basketball court behind the house.
Of course, the functions of these rooms are far less than that of James's room, but the attraction of this villa is not indoors but outdoors.
The outdoor area of ​​other villas pales in comparison to this villa.
There is only a few acres of lawn outside the other villas.
The villa is surrounded by more than 50 acres of lawn.
Outside other villas is an outdoor swimming pool, and outside this villa is a huge private lake 1 km long and 100 meters wide.
