As a translator by Yao Ming s NBA side, how much does Colin Pan earn each year?

2002-2003 season: 3.86 million, 2003-2004 season.

In 2002, when Yao Ming was still working as a translator for NBA Asia, he was always there due to language and cultural differences. Yao Ming is the translator, and their relationship is also a mentor-friend relationship.

1. The relationship between teacher and friend

I got the job when I was 28 because I wanted a different life, Colin Pan once said. I was nervous at first, but gradually I became good friends, then close friends. Chinese is my second foreign language and basketball is my third foreign language.

At first I didn't know if I could do it well. It was Yao's kindness that made me see the light.

Colin Pan broke up with Yao in 2005 and has developed a strong friendship with Yao over the past three years. In order to help Yao Ming adapt to the new environment as soon as possible, he ate and lived with Yao Ming, helped him pay the bills, helped him translate**, and drove Yao Ming to the gym.

He spent a lot of time playing with Yao Ming. He loves to play Street Fighter and Crossfire. At the end of Yao's second season, he said he wanted his work to be over.

A few weeks before the end of the season, Yao approached Yao Ming and said to him, can you stay with me all season? He wanted to make sure he could focus on basketball, and Colin said he didn't need help anymore. I'm basically a liaison, but he doesn't need any interference.

On July 20, 2011, Yao announced his retirement in Shanghai. Yao Ming invited him to the stage to thank the translator who accompanied him early in his career. During the Q&A session with **, Pan Colin once again acted as Yao's translator, and although Yao was already fluent in English, the two still worked well together.

Finally, in April 1998, he was selected for the national team coached by Wang Fei and began his basketball career. In May, he went to Indianapolis to participate in basketball practice at Nike Summer Camp. One of his opponents was Tyson Chandler, who later became an NBA star.

In the same year, as the main player of the Shanghai team, he won the fifth place in the National Men's Basketball League and was selected for the Chinese basketball all-star team.

At that time, Colin Pan's salary as a translator was actually not very high, at that time, it seemed that he only had a salary of 6-80,000 US dollars a year, which was a relatively small translator.

Colin Pan earns millions of dollars a year, and he has a very good relationship with Yao Ming, Yao Ming can speak fluent English, which is inseparable from his help, and Yao Ming is also his nobleman.

As a translator by Yao Ming's NBA, Colin Pan's annual income is about $8-100,000, which is a very high income!

If you want to really integrate into the NBA team, you must learn foreign languages, but Yao Ming is from a professional basketball team, and he is not too outstanding in English cultural knowledge, so the Rockets had to equip him with a professional translator, and Colin Pan entered the field of vision of Chinese fans at this time. Because he likes Chinese culture very much, he has two years of teaching experience before, and participated in the translation recruitment with the mentality of giving it a try, and he was really selected to become Yao Ming's personal translator.

After all, Colin Pan is not from a professional basketball team, and he can't accurately translate some special terms and basketball sayings to Yao Ming in the face of some special terms and basketball sayings. At first, Yao Ming was unfamiliar with his life, and he would bring Colin Pan with him in any public place, and he was loved by fans with his humorous translation and professional skills.

From 2002 to 2005, Colin Pan's salary was probably paid by the Rockets. The salary of this kind of round-the-clock full-time translator should not be low, and my personal feeling should be around 10,000 yuan. In three years, Colin Pan can be regarded as entering a well-off situation.

This intimacy beyond the daily work relationship allowed Yao Ming to quickly adapt and master English skills. In the second year, Yao Ming was already able to do without translation. This also meant that Colin Pan would be unemployed, but Yao Ming still kept Colin Pan in the third year.

After three years of getting along, the two have already established a deep friendship. Yao Ming, who earns tens of millions of dollars a year, decided to hire Colin Pan as a home translator. This job Colin Pan worked until Yao Ming retired!

At Yao Ming's retirement ceremony in 2011, Colin Pan picked up the microphone again. Translation of "unnecessary" content with great interest. It was all as if it were nine years ago, and everyone was back to where the dream began!

Yao Ming returned to China after retiring from the army, and at this time Colin Pan happened to be unhappy with his work, so Yao Ming introduced him to NBA China as a translator, and Colin Pan came to China at that time, where he still works. Today, Colin Pan, who speaks fluent Shanghainese, is half Chinese.

I have to say that Colin Pan has made himself successful while achieving Yao Ming.

In 3 years, Colin Pan made about $100,000. Yao Ming introduced him to China as a translator, and he still lives and works in Shanghai until now.

About 100,000 US dollars, because he likes China very much, Yao Ming introduced him to NBA China as a translator. He still lives and works in Shanghai.

Colin Pan has been serving for three years and has probably earned hundreds of thousands, he has been doing very well recently, and he has been working in Shanghai.
