Chapter 920: The Media
"Mr. Zhou, it is reported that the Warriors management is approaching James, do you have any intention of bringing him to the Warriors?"
"Report?" Jessie Chou smiled: "Aren't you the ones who do the reporting?" β
"But James is a very good player, I like the style of play and the way he plays, and if I have the ability, I will bring Mr. James to the fans!"
As soon as Jessie Chou said this, there was an uproar again, and the owner of the Warriors said that he was interested in James, which is not to say that he is serious about joining the competition for big-name free agents this summer.
This bloody battle is really getting more and more interesting, think about the current Heat and other teams, are starting to clean up their team's salary space and personnel in order to introduce a few big-name players, some of the Warriors' recent actions also seem to be doing one side of the plan, sure enough, this new owner has a lot of ambitions, but the Warriors who have signed three All-Stars, whether they can sign more stars in the future.
If Jesse Chou hadn't seen a lot of reporters from the Celestial Empire, he wouldn't have bothered to say so much, and he would have talked about it. After waving to the reporters, he turned around and went indoors, ignoring the reporters who were still unsatisfied.
"I didn't expect this young rich man to be so ambitious, and it seems that there is a lot of competition pressure in the West District this year!" The reporters said in exchange.
"Well, it's really surprising to bring two such All-Stars when you just came in."
After entering, Jessie Chou also glanced back at the reporters who had not left, smiled and said to Joe who followed on the side: "It's disgusting to see that you are not too enthusiastic!" β
"Boss, it's not newsworthy to disgust these people!" Joe said.
"Reality......" He also wanted to say something philosophical to talk to his security adviser, just as the phone rang, "Sorry, I'll answer the phone!" β
Joe nodded.
looked at the phone number Zhou Jesse picked it up, "Hello, I am a relative of Li Junhe, due to Li Junhe's slight inconvenience now, his own mother has passed away, and your name is listed on the list of friends, and the ceremony will be held in xxx three days later, and the time is xxx o'clock in the afternoon." The words were simple, and I hung up the phone without saying a word.
"Okay, I'll be there!" Jessie Chou finally said such a sentence.
At this moment, I don't know what the mood is, my friend's mother has passed away, and he really hasn't encountered this situation in his previous life. In China, he only knows to go to worship or something, and the specific process is not very clear.
He didn't know much about South Korea, according to the TV series, should he go to worship by himself, just have a meal with a pusher over there and then leave?
"Hey!" Sighing, not knowing what to say more. Let's go to South Korea, it just so happens that there are some things to deal with recently, and the affairs of the team here will be taken care of now, and the rest can really only depend on the ability of their management, and to put it bluntly, in addition to money, he is a layman at all. He didn't know a lot of the operating rules in it, and he was distressed when he spent too much money.
Filtered out of this matter first, the group walked to this management meeting. When he arrived, there were already seven or eight people inside, and the senior management and the core personnel of the coaching staff were all inside, and of course the United States did not want to be like Japan and South Korea, so everyone had to stand up and bow when you came in.
Everyone just greeted Jesse Chou politely, and then he went to his place and sat down and looked at them. He lowered his throat and said, "We've had good results lately, we've finalized at least two All-Star players, and I'm very satisfied with everyone's work!" β
"Now let's talk about the next plan!" Jesse looked at Mullin and Nelson Sr.
"The current salary situation in the team is not very good, Yao Shu joined our team with a salary cut, according to the contract 3 plus 1 four-year contract of 60 million US dollars, the third year of the player option, we will pay 15 million US dollars in salary this year." Mullin spoke first.
Jessie Chou nodded, Brother Yao is still interesting enough, of course, in the Rockets, he may be able to have an annual salary of 20 million now, but that is if the boss is willing to give the contract. According to the original history, Yao Shu also took an annual salary of more than 20 million, and then retired directly.
He has now signed a contract of 60 million yuan, which can give the family at least two or three years, which is much more cost-effective than the 20 million. In addition, with two more years, Yao Shu can also get more advertising and endorsement contracts, which are all earned.
If they reach the finals, Yao Shu's net worth will have to be doubled, and then he will retire home with the crown ring. This advertising value is also just, compared to the previous life, you can eat several years more advertising rice.
These people from Yao's team also took into account that Yao Shu had some thoughts of retiring this year. They are not people who want Yao Shu to retire so much, and now they want to be on the team, as long as he is still in the NBA in the United States, the commercial value is still top, and the salary will not be too important.
In addition, the contract period is coming soon, and if Alexander's side doesn't look at the Celestial Empire market, he may be able to earn his salary back, and he wants to trade this sick number, and he can rebuild the team immediately with so much salary. Yao Shu is very powerful, but you can play half a season in one season, and the rest will have to go to recuperate.
Can't play the playoffs? You can earn a lot by playing six or seven playoff games and asking for votes, plus broadcast fee sharing, etc
Jessie Chou thought about it, and Mullin went on to report: "We have paid a lot to Nowitzki, because the team's plan for this year is very attractive, plus the owner, your determination is broken, and with the efforts of Coach Nelson, we have reached a consensus with Nowitzki." β
"The German agrees to take a pay cut to join our Warriors, but needs a long-term contract and trade veto!"
Zhou Jesse immediately frowned, he still knew about this treaty, because he knew everything, he had some doubts: "Isn't this entire alliance only for Kobe?" He also wants? β
"Yes, this is the condition that the Germans can sign with us!" Mullin said calmly.
"And he's 32 years old, and signing a long-term contract will have a big impact on the future of the team. If he can't move in the future, he still has the right to veto the deal, isn't this leaving us to squeeze out our salary space? "Jessie Chou is still very sensitive to these money.
"That's Nowitzki's terms, and he wouldn't have agreed to sign with the Warriors without that. We also discussed for a long time before we decided to agree to his terms. Old Nelson looked at Jesse Chou and said.
"How big is the contract?" Jessie Chou took a deep breath and asked.
Mullin looked at old Nelson first, and the old guy's eyes motioned for him to hurry up and say, this was said when they talked about it at the beginning, if it weren't for the Dallas Mavericks still struggling with these two conditions, they wouldn't have been able to capture the Germans first. After all, the salary they gave was really not much, it didn't reach 20 million US dollars at all, if it weren't for the veto power and a four-year contract here, plus playing under the Chinese boss and playing with Yao Shu, a native of the Celestial Empire, he would be able to accept the market of the Celestial Empire in the future.
There's no way his agent could get him to sign with the Warriors, and this year's Warriors are really good news points. According to professional reports, when the new owner took over, the entire ball market rose by several percentage points, and the attendance rate on the court also rose to more than 80 percent.
"A four-year, $72 million contract plus a veto on the deal!"
7,000 US dollars, 72 million US dollars, Yao Shu TM didn't take so much. He was silent and didn't speak for a while, he had to digest the disappearance of the money.
"Are you sure he's a German and not a Jew?"
The originally condensed atmosphere in the office finally eased his words.
"His agent is Jewish!" Mullin said anyway.
"Fake" Zhou Jesse didn't say it, otherwise so many people would have become racist.
"Okay, let's talk about something else. The contract is signed, and the money is always spent. β
"Okay boss!" Mullin said, then went on to say: "Our management is planning to send Ellis away, he's a bit redundant after we have more attacking players. In addition, he will occupy a lot of possession when he plays, which is not good news for us to bring in James and others! β
"Yes!" He nodded: "Then send it away quickly and come back with good things, draft picks and players can be done, I don't know much about these, you can just watch it!" β
"We're going to get some draft picks back, and Ellis' contract is still very good, with a salary of more than 11 million, plus the current number of jΓΉ is very marketable. James and others are estimated to be a sign-and-trade routine, we don't have so many draft picks to pay, or we will sell the future, and it may be called luxury tax every year in the future, which is not a reasonable approach! Mullin said.
He agrees with what his operations manager said, although he just wants to get the championship ring as soon as possible, but it is still a good choice to save the future potential on this premise.
"Well, this is very good!"
"Our plan now is James and Bosh, and the players in the team need to purge a lot of the players right now. After all, there isn't a lot of salary space left, and we need to sign some veterans and guaranteed contract players. β
"Oh! What goals are not? Jesse Chou habitually asked, there was nothing to ask about these things, but when I think of the veteran, isn't that the former well-known player? Isn't it very attractive to Celestial Empire fans to buy them back? You must know that after Maddie became that hanger, she still has a good fan base in the Celestial Empire, and she has made some big-name stars in the past, and also increased the international popularity of her team.
