Chapter 504: An Offer That Can't Be Refused (4/4!) )

"Hey, Coach, I'm Clayton Bennett." The person who came reported his home and stretched out his hand to Tang Tian with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Bennett." Tang Tian smiled and shook hands with Clayton, but there was a hint of doubt on his face.

"I'm an Oklahomanian." Clayton saw Tang Tian's eyes, and then added.

Hearing this, Tang Tian had a little impression that this should be the big boss of the Thunder team.

Led Clayton to the living room and asked the maid to pour a cup of coffee, Tang Tian then looked at Clayton.

The Thunder have been here twice before, but both are the team's vice presidents, and this time the owner came in person.

"Coach, I wonder what exactly you want?" Clayton was more direct, he didn't blindly report his chips like Wiltz before, but asked Tang Tian's needs.

Clayton wasn't the first to ask, but he was the first of the three teams to do so after he narrowed it down.

"You just say that the rest of the board is in the conference room in the city now, and if we can meet it, I can give you an answer on the spot." Clayton's next words surprised Tang Tian.

Shareholders waiting in the conference room early in the morning? With such a big battle, did the Thunder decide to take a desperate gamble?

However, since Clayton said so and showed so much sincerity, Tang Tian didn't need to hide it anymore, and he could just try what the bottom line of the league team was.

"I have three requirements." This is a negotiation and a business, and what Tang Tian did first was to put forward his asking price.

At this time, the maid served coffee, and after Clayton took it, he motioned for Tang Tian to continue.

"First, I hope that the board of directors will not interfere in the daily affairs of the team, what I can do is to ensure the team's record and income."

"That's perfectly fine, and we're not going to interfere with it in the past." Clayton replied in the affirmative.

"Second, I want to sign a five-year contract with the team with double the penalty of a regular contract." Tang Tian continued.

The contract between an NBA team and a coach is a two-way street, and if the coach is fired, the team needs to pay liquidated damages, and the coach also needs to pay liquidated damages if he voluntarily resigns.

Under normal circumstances, the amount of liquidated damages is not low, which is why most of the teams fire coaches and few coaches take the initiative to resign.

Clayton pondered for a long time, then finally nodded and said, "This is no problem. ”

"Last but not least, I want to be able to buy 10 percent of the team." Tang Tian finally said.

"Shares?" When Clayton heard this, he was finally moved.

"I'm going to make a call." He didn't say anything right away, but took his phone and went outside the living room.

Tang Tian nodded.

He wants to be the owner of a team and that's a step he has to take.

To put it more bluntly, this will also add some motivation for him to stay in the team, the team will appreciate, and his assets will also rise, which is beautiful.

However, as he thought, this is an act of testing the bottom line, after all, it means that other shareholders will have to give up their shares, which is a very sensitive topic.

Under normal circumstances, the purchase of team shares will only be qualified when someone on the board of directors withdraws, and such an active basic share may have been very rare before.

After about ten minutes, Clayton returned, with a smile on his face.

"Welcome to the Thunder, coach, no, I should say business partner now." Clayton smiled and stretched out his hand to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment, what Clayton meant, is the Thunder team all agreed? Without any counter-offer?

I knew that he would have offered a higher price!

However, the Thunder team agreed so happily, he didn't need to dwell on it anymore, anyway, there was such a thing as shares, which could be bought slowly.

"It's a pleasure to work with." Tang Tian stretched out his hand.

made a decision happily, Tang Tian didn't drag it anymore, and called the senior management of the Warriors and Clippers to tell him his final decision.

Although the two teams were very unwilling, they could only choose to accept it, after all, the decision was in Tang Tian's hands, and Tang Tian also took the initiative to call them.

After finishing the call, Tang Tian sent another message to OJ, and then left for Oklahoma in advance.

What was reached with Clayton in the apartment was only a preliminary agreement, and the real details were to be negotiated in Oklahoma.

With draft day just around the corner, he'd better get the contract done before it does, so he doesn't have any more surprises.

It's not the first time that Tang Tian has come to Russia, not counting the previous match days, just the finals have come several times.

Because of the proximity of latitude, the climate here is similar to that of Cleveland, with four distinct seasons.

Because of this climate, one of the most well-known places here is the local Wanmu Garden, which is one of the most attractive places in the bustling city.

Will Rogers World Airport is just a few kilometres north of the garden.

Overlooking a piece of flowers, Tang Tian's mood also became very good.

The Thunder team is full of talent, but thinking about getting along with the four less, the challenge is even greater.

And his character, the greater the challenge, the more exciting he feels.

The plane roared down to the airport, and he exited the gate to see a sign holding his name in the crowd.

Because he left in a hurry, his visit to Russia this time was the same as his previous trip to Kecheng, and the fans didn't know about it, so the only one who came to pick him up this time was the assistant arranged for him by the team.

Tang Tian walked towards the sign, and then saw a guy with dirty pigtails, dressed very hip-hop, and looked less than 20 years old.

His brow furrowed slightly, such an assistant arranged for him by the team.

He walked straight over, and the pigtailed guy didn't seem to recognize him, and he didn't realize it until he was almost closer.

"Welcome, Coach." Before he could speak, a woman's voice came from the side.

He turned his head.

High heels, black silk, hip-hugging skirt, white shirt, 36D, long hair, black-framed glasses, delicate cheeks, and a small beauty mole at the corner of the eye.

Standard costumes, and beautiful.

looks at his age, and he is about the same as him.

"Money." She greeted Tang Tian with a smile, then gave the dreadlocked guy ten dollars, and then turned around and took Tang Tian's suitcase.

"Coach, I'm your assistant to the team, Cersei Anna, you can call me Cersei."

Cersei? When he heard the name, his first reaction was the queen of power and the game, but it was obvious that Anna in front of him was much more seductive than Cersei.

After Anna finished speaking, she pulled Tang Tian's suitcase, pointed out the direction to Tang Tian, and then led the way in front.

The chest is big enough, the buttocks are upturned enough, walking in front, the hips are swaying from side to side, and the return rate is very high.

Tang Tian followed behind, smiling and shaking his head.

He had a little feeling, but it was more of an appreciative angle, and the others who had seen Hathaway were just like that for him.

But it's not the dreadlocked guy, at least he's in a good mood.
