At a private golf course in Atlanta, Eagles owners Bruce Levinson and Michael Giron are playing the game. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It's both a way for them to relax and a good place for them to talk about business.
Bruce Levinson had good luck today, he had already shot two birdies and was in the lead across the board.
Michael Giron stopped his swing and said to his teammate, "Tell me about the basketball team, do you think this team has a future? We've been in the playoffs for eight seasons in a row." By the way, is there any chance that this team will make the playoffs?"
Bruce Levinson also put down his club, sat down in his seat and said: "I don't have hope for the Hawks to make the playoffs or not, and you know how I feel after reading last year's briefing? ”
Ji Long lowered his voice and said, "Be careful, don't be monitored by the paparazzi." Now that the Internet is so developed, if you are not careful, you will become the target of public criticism. ”
Levinson said hatefully: "There are 52% blacks in Atlanta, but the number of blacks in our fans is actually more than 70%, how can these bastards who only know how to fight, rob, and sell drugs can become a stable fan base." There's no way to attract whites from the North Side, and we can't make any money at all. ”
Giron smiled: "I'm afraid it's not so easy to make white people's money, after all, they can still choose football, and the Falcons are also in Atlanta!
Levinson nodded and said, "That's the biggest takeaway from this year's draft." Paul Allen (Trail Blazers owner) was an idiot who hitched a ride on Gates to get to where he is today. Clayton Bennett (SuperSonics boss) just started in the industry last year, and he doesn't yet understand the value of a Celestial star. Look at how much money that fool Alexander's made with a Yao name!"
Giron continued: "Then are we going to meet our cash cow before signing a contract?"
Levinson nodded, "Compared to lazy blacks, hard-working and picky yellows are still cute! I'll give our manager Billy a call to see when our No. 3 rookie arrives?"
At Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Nguyen Er Niu is back at the world's largest cargo airport.
As soon as he got off the plane, the general manager of the Eagles told him that the two owners of the team wanted to meet with Ruan Erniu today.
Ruan Erniu used to always deal with team management such as coaches and general managers, but this time it wasn't Billy Knight who reminded him that he almost forgot that the real owners of the team have always been the capitalists who hide in high places and hold power.
Ruan Erniu was taken to the golf course by a GMC van, and the two team owners were hiding in the rest area drinking afternoon tea. Seeing that, Ruan Erniu walked over, and the two got up one after another and shook hands with him.
After greeting each other, all three sat down and continued to drink tea and chat.
Levinson smiled and said to Erniu, "Do you know why we chose you to come to the eagles?"
Levinson handed Er Niu a cup of Wedgwood black tea, and to be honest, Ruan Er Niu couldn't see any difference between this and instant Lipton black tea, although the value of the two was not at the same grade at all.
Ruan Erniu took a shallow sip, and then said, "If I directly say that my own strength is worthy of your expectations, will I be a little proud of this?"
Levinson and Mike laughed at the same time.
"It's good for young people to have confidence in themselves, and we believe you can become a superstar," Mike said. ”
Levinson said the answer directly: "We chose you because we believe that your business value is definitely far beyond your rank!"
Ruan Erniu didn't mean to be unhappy, he figured it out before he came to the NBA. The Celestial Empire market behind him has always been his advantage. If you don't know how to take advantage of the situation, it is a shameful waste.
Levinson continued: "We also believe that your future will never be worse than that of your compatriot in Houston. By the way, we have a very important question for you here, do you ~~ want to win the championship?"
When Ruan Erniu heard this, he immediately said: "Of course, this is the pursuit of the vast majority of basketball players on this planet. ”
"Mike and I are businessmen, we want to make money, you're players, you want to make money, you want to be honored," Levinson said. So we should have a common goal. We want you to train hard and fight for glory on the field. And we will also work hard to build a team for you with the strength to challenge for the championship, which is a win-win choice for us!"
……
It was a very pleasant chat, and at least the two sides agreed on many aspects.
After Nguyen Erniu said goodbye, Ji Long said to Levinson: "Are you kidding, or are you serious, are you going to pay the luxury tax to build the team?"
Levinson said with a smile: "Under normal circumstances, of course I wouldn't do this, but everything is just in case, if this kid can really grow to that point quickly, pay a little more, and often earn back double." Only when the team has results can the ball market improve!"
At this time, they would never have thought that the growth rate of Ruan Erniu, a boy from the Celestial Empire, was not at all predictable by ordinary people.
In mid-July, Ruan Erniu officially signed with the Hawks in Atlanta, with a standard 2+2 contract, and the last two years are team options, with a contract value of 17.53 million yuan for four years, and a salary of 3.75 million, 4.03 million, 4.31 million, and 5.44 million for four years.
Objectively speaking, it is of course slightly inferior to Odenthe's four-year 21.79 million and Durant's 19.5 million, but the draft pick has already determined the upper limit of his first salary. Either way, rookies are exploited, that's the NBA's rule.
Completed the signing and successfully passed the physical examination. The Eagles held a press conference belonging to Erniu.
At the meeting, Nguyen Erniu showed off the No. 88 jersey he wore with the Eagles. Ruan Erniu smiled and said, "I chose No. 44 at UCLA, and I hope I can double my success in the NBA!"
Of course. Celestial Dynasty netizens did not agree with Ruan Erniu's statement.
"Brother Niu, a big money fan, it is not worth his life to deceive Mi Di to death!"
"It's such a cheesy number, and it will deceive the Mi Guoyan with a bad brain!"
"What is more than 2 times that of the university, it is clearly 8 times that of preparing to exceed Da Yao (Yao Ming Rocket Number 11), sit back and watch this guy who does not know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth being taught by Da Yao to be a man. ”
"Domineering Erniu, it's time for us to give him a nickname!"
"The surname is Ruan, and he is the second in line, of course he must be called Lidi Tai Sui!"
"Upstairs, I always feel that it's not domineering enough!"
"It's very simple, just add the word 'barbarian' in the middle, and call it 'Lidi Man Tai Sui'?"
"I'm the owner of Ruan Erniu's post bar, I decided to change the name of this bar, and those who like Erniu in the future will all be Tai Sui Jun!"
