Chapter 2o67 People are stupid with a lot of money

When many veteran companies in the V world joined forces to improve their well-known treatment, vowed to fight Lin Feng to the end, and drove Lin Feng out, Lin Feng came to New York.

Every five years, the NB enters into a collective bargaining agreement, and every five years the employer and the employee will engage in a battle at the Olympic Tower Tower at 645 Fifth Avenue in New York to negotiate a share of the profits. In the last five years, there has been a protracted NB shutdown. According to Lin Feng's memory, both sides of the NB have palpitations about the consequences of the last shutdown, coupled with the current global economic situation, and the slight concession from the players' union, so the collective bargaining agreement negotiations ended in just a few days.

In Lin Feng's view, this time he came to the NB headquarters to participate in this labor negotiation, which was just a simple formality, seeing the world, and gaining a long insight. So I didn't do anything to prepare, and I just went.

"Mr. Lin, you're a busy man!" Stern met Lin Feng in the elevator and marveled at how Lin Feng had changed over the past year.

"Mr. Stern, the NB is thriving under your leadership, and we team owners have to thank you for everything you have done for the NB. Lin Feng smiled and greeted casually. Anyone will.

The two entered the bosses' room with a pleasant greeting. Now that the labor negotiations have not been officially held, the bosses naturally gathered together first to unify the battle line, in case there is a disagreement within the boss and the players are cheapened. Seeing Lin Feng coming in, many bosses were slightly surprised. The bosses here, although they are mortal enemies of each other's teams, usually occasionally gather together to chat and drink. As for Lin Feng, they are much stranger.

"Mr. Lin, you are welcome to participate in this collective bargaining agreement. "Kuban was the first to come over. He is the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, and he once signed the first NB Chinese player - Wang Zhizhi. Although Wang Zhizhi has now gone away, it does not prevent Kuban from being friendly to the Chinese.

"Mr. Cuban, although we are meeting for the first time, it is really admirable for your love and dedication to basketball. Among the many bosses in NB, you are the one I admire the most. Lin Feng praised.

Kuban is a man who doesn't like to hear you praise him for his good investment vision and ability to make money. Anyone will make money from this, but it depends on whether they can seize the opportunity. But he likes to listen to others praising him for his love of basketball and his dedication to the team. Hearing Lin Feng's words, Kuban's eyes suddenly narrowed with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, let me tell you, such a guy is not very good at running a team, and he wants to make more money, so he can't wait to bet the player's salary to death. In my opinion, investing in basketball is a hobby, a kind of spiritual sustenance, making money or not making money is secondary, as long as you can maintain your business livelihood. Kuban pulled Lin Feng to the side, glanced at a few bosses, and said disdainfully.

"Yes, Mr. Cuban, I love what you say. Invest in a basketball team, you want to make money, then you invest a dime. Everyone is a businessman, will there be no chance to make money? If you still want to make money from basketball, isn't this a support by eating too much?" Lin Feng heard Cuban's remarks, and felt something.

Whether I invest in the Houston Rockets or Tottenham Hotspur, it is for the hobby, for the love of football and basketball. You make money from this, isn't that uncomfortable? But most of these NB bosses can't wait for the team to earn them tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, every year. Tell me, you billionaire bosses don't have the money. As for this!

When Kuban heard Lin Feng's words, his face moved, and he punched Lin Feng hard.

"GD, Lin, you're so right, you're really my confidant. Every time I used to watch the meeting, these sons of bitches, all of them looked like Grande, and they said that I was too generous, that I was a tyrant, damn, and that I couldn't go with them. With you after this, I am finally not alone. Let's go have a drink later!" Kuban invited Lin Feng.

"Haha, of course. As the owner, the team is in the same division, so naturally we will be closer, so our Texas team will be the strongest division in the NB!" Lin Feng Haha smiled and gladly accepted Cuban's invitation.

"See, that stupid bird Kuban and that Lin Feng have been mixed together, and now the negotiation will be troublesome. Memphis Grizzlies owner Michael Hasley stared at the chattering Lin Feng and Cuban, and said angrily.

"Well, that Cuban is enough to get off the line, and he actually claims that as long as the NB has the support of the ball, he can attract the ball to watch the game and pay the players as much as he wants, isn't this brainless! Give the players such a high salary, what do we bosses eat and drink? Do we want to make money from other places to supplement the team? We don't have a convulsion!" Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling said.

The Los Angeles Lakers owner Buss on the side pouted angrily. This Donald Sterling is a well-known picker among NB owners. It's no wonder that the Clippers, despite being in Los Angeles, the second-largest city in the United States, are still losing money. It's not just a matter of the team's record, it's also a question of Donald Sterling's over-the-top goal.

Amid the many bosses who were laughing and laughing because of Lin Feng and Cuban, Stern presided over the impromptu meeting before the labor negotiations.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you in advance for coming to this collective bargaining despite your busy schedule. First of all, on behalf of all of you, please welcome Mr. Lin Feng, the owner of the Houston Rockets, who is participating in the labor negotiations for the first time! I think everyone should be familiar with him!" Stern said with applause.

Lin Feng nodded at everyone. But obviously, all of them are bosses, so naturally no one will applaud and welcome them like those staff. Even if you Lin Feng are shijie rich, they won't drop this price.

"I convened this extraordinary meeting today in the hope that everyone will unify their thinking. First of all, we must ensure that this collective bargaining will not cause the NB to be shut down again, because the last shutdown was too great for everyone, and no one can afford to do it a second time. Stern said.

Many bosses nodded their heads.

Lin Feng didn't take this to heart at all, and drank tea and chatted with Kuban by himself.

"Lin, don't you worry about this? I'm afraid that these Grandet are too stingy, causing the labor negotiations to break down again. Kuban was a little surprised to see Lin Feng so relaxed. Every time he came to the labor negotiations, he would always go back angry. He couldn't talk to these bosses. The last time the negotiations broke down and eventually led to the NB shutdown, Cuban told many bosses not to be too interested in any small profits, and tens of millions of dollars in losses are not too big a number for many bosses. If the negotiations break down, the final loss will certainly be greater than those tens of millions of dollars. As a result, Cuban was ridiculed for being stupid for having a lot of money, and finally the negotiations broke down, and although the players suffered huge losses, the bosses were not.

So this time, Kuban has a yīn shadow.

"Don't worry, Kuban. With the lessons learned from last time, this negotiation will be easy. Lin Feng patted Cuban on the shoulder and comforted. For this boss who really loves Mavericks, Lin Feng has a good impression.

Lin Feng's words were obviously comforting in Kuban's eyes. He couldn't settle down. In the following several times, he started a net war with many bosses, and tried to explain the harm of the last shutdown, and frankly said that this time it should not be too harsh. It's a pity that other owners are obviously not as generous as Cuban, and they never think that they should give more money to their players, but think that they should appropriately reduce their salaries to ensure the team's profits. As for Kuban's Li Chen, it is still such a striking sentence -- there are many people and money is stupid.

"Do you want to see the crisis caused by the last shutdown again?" shouted Kuban.

Many bosses stared at Cuban with idiotic expressions.

'We're the bosses, they're the players, they're working for us. In that case, why should their players make more profit than we do, and those privileged players have more say in the players than we do. Why should our boss listen to a wage earner!" Memphis Grizzlies owner Michael Haesley said.

Michael Haisley's words are backed up by most bosses. They can't afford to be paid more than their bosses and have more power. This cannot be tolerated.

Kuban's face was flushed. He has a lot to say, but he's not a very eloquent person, he's a very shrewd investment businessman, he's good at investing, he's passionate about basketball, but he's not a debater.

Seeing that Cuban couldn't say it, Michael Haysley and others began to ridicule Cuban to their heart's content, and the sentence - people are stupid and money is the most mentioned word among many, and this sentence almost made Cuban slam the door.

At this moment, Lin Feng couldn't see it. So many of you have joined forces to bully the Kuban, and it's too much of a bully. Just look at the 29 bosses just now, for the sake of Cuban who came to greet him, he can't let Cuban be bullied like this. What's more, in terms of love for basketball, Lin Feng has never seen a boss who is more enthusiastic about basketball than Cuban. And this guy is very good, and he wants to laugh at the thought of being fined by NB and Cuban sending a cart of coins over. There is such a xìng, and he loves basketball, and he is very involved, just these three points, these bosses bullying Cuban are bullying themselves. -- Lin Feng decided to make Kuban a friend.

"Bang!" Lin Feng slapped the table.

All the bosses were taken aback by Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, what are you doing here slapping the table, this is not your Houston Rockets, it's not your office, it's all bosses here, everyone is on an equal footing, who are you scaring about!" asked Memphis Grizzlies boss Michael Haysley angrily.

Lin Feng squinted at Michael Haysley. Lin Feng knows who this guy is, this guy is one of the NB's most brainless bosses, who once traded Gasol to the Los Angeles Lakers at a loss. He famously said that my team has already invested more than the San Antonio Spurs, so why invest more.
