Chapter 310: 1,500,000 Coins (3 Updates 1 Guaranteed)
Richard was dumbfounded when he saw the media reports from all sides......
Starting from scratch?! Not to mention that he only has $100 million at the moment, even with a net worth like Paul Allen, it is completely impossible to start a new business......
Well, if Paul Allen is really willing to take a gamble, there is still a glimmer of hope.
……
But Richard really didn't have the idea of starting anew, and he couldn't have ......
Although the fans know that this is ridiculous, in order to discredit the NBA, they can't care so much, anyway, how to smear the NBA.
……
He was fined $150,000 this time, which Richard was both surprised and expected......
He knew that the league had such rules, so he took up the position of honorary head coach at Purdue University in the first place, thinking that the NBA had no way to punish him because of his honorary head coach position.
After entering the league, Richard had a record of several public contacts with Purdue players, but the league did not move, which put Richard at ease......
Therefore, the scale of this training camp is quite large......
But the alliance, which originally turned a blind eye, suddenly issued a heavy penalty bill to Richard, which was somewhat unexpected by Richard.
Just like the reporters wondered, at this point in time, the league should be anxious to negotiate with the players' union, and no matter how much effort is taken care of Richard's trivial matter......
In a major matter such as labor and salary negotiations, which is related to the survival of the NBA, Richard's training camp is really not worth it.
Moreover, I didn't punish it before, but now it's suddenly punished, and the punishment is so severe, it's really unreasonable.
……
Before Richard, there were coaches or team executives who approached NCAA players who did not qualify for the draft in advance, but the league turned a blind eye, and even if it was punished, it was a fine of thousands of dollars, which meant that all parties were warned not to go too far......
Never before has Richard been fined $150,000 all at once.
Richard, who is familiar with the history of the NBA, remembers very well that in the next two years, there will be many coaches or executives who have been punished for this matter......
For example, in '02, Cavaliers coach Lucas was fined $150,000 and banned for two games for allowing James to participate in the Cavaliers' in-house training without qualifying for the draft.
NEW JERSEY NETS OWNER JAY-Z WAS FINED $50,000 FOR PRIVATELY CONTACTING THE KENTUCKY VARSITY TEAM BY TAKING A PHOTO IN THEIR VARSITY LOCKER ROOM.
The most wronged is the 05 Nuggets head coach George Carr, his son participated in Marker University's basketball training class, he just went to see his son, but because he chatted with Mark's University guard De Xiaopang, he was directly fined $200,000......
He didn't even know what De Chubby's name was.
This was definitely a no-brainer, and the Nuggets later paid the $200,000 fine for Carl......
What Richard is doing at the moment, if it is not the name of an honorary head coach, I am afraid that the nature is much more serious than these people, and it is definitely more than a penalty of 150,000 US dollars.
……
According to Richard's guess, he may have hit the muzzle of the gun, and Stern did not specifically target himself, but the alliance did have plans to punish him heavily.
It just so happened that Richard stood up, and Stern didn't like Richard either, so he was directly targeted!
If you were a different head coach, it would be almost too much for Stern to pay a $50,000 fine......
……
Richard felt quite helpless, his luck was really bad, and he accidentally hit Stern's muzzle.
The key thing is that this matter can't be reasoned, the league has such a rule, Richard did violate such a rule, and Stern's punishment is justified......
Richard called this a grievance in his heart, 150,000 US dollars is really not much for him, just sprinkling water, but he is definitely unwilling in his heart.
Very unwilling, but this money must be paid.
Thinking about Richard's temperament, it's strange that he doesn't fight back against Stern......
The day after the news broke, Orch called and said that the team would help Richard pay the $150,000 fine so he didn't have to worry.
turned out to be rejected by Richard, 150,000 US dollars, he really didn't take it seriously, and he couldn't let the team carry this pot.
……
On the third day, the golden dragon appeared at the headquarters in New York.
Behind him, there were more than a dozen strong men, carrying large iron boxes in pairs, looking at their struggling appearance, it was obvious that the weight of the box was not small.
There are 50 large tin boxes, each weighing at least 150 kilograms......
It took the strong men ten times to finally move all the boxes on the truck to the gate of the NBA headquarters.
The staff in the headquarters looked at the scene in front of them in amazement, and saw that the golden dragon was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and he should be the leader, so he couldn't help but step forward and ask.
"What are you guys doing here?!"
The golden dragon straightened his tie, smiled all over his face, and said to the staff member: "Pay the fine!" ”
The staff was stunned and handed over the fine?!
It's been the offseason lately, and there's nothing to be fined other than Richard's share......
Could it be Richard's fine?!
But why the hell are so many, 150,000 dollars in 50 big boxes?!
"Is it Coach Richard's fine?!" The staff asked with a frown.
The golden dragon smiled and nodded.
"That's right, Coach Richard's fine, a total of 150,000 dollars, 1.5 million ten-cent coins, count them yourself!"
The staff member instantly felt the urge to faint!
One and a half million coins?! Are you kidding, why don't you get fifteen million pennies?!
Not to mention, when Richard handed over this to the Golden Dragon, he really thought so.
It's a pity that the bank can't come up with so many one-cent coins, and even the current 1.5 million ten-cent coins are only exchanged by him after running three banks......
The Golden Dragon is now amazing, and when Richard's $100 million was not invested in the stock market, the Golden Dragon was responsible for depositing it in these three banks.
If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't come up with fifteen million 1-cent coins, I'm afraid they would really agree to the exchange request of the Golden Dragon......
"Wait, I'll find someone......" The staff felt like a dog.
Naturally, he was going to find Xiao Hua or Stern now, and this kind of matter had to be decided by them.
If Xiao Hua or Stern said to take it, then he felt that his nightmare was coming, and when would he have to count the 1.5 million coins......
You can't let the chiefs count the coins, and they don't have to count the coins in the end.
