The Knicks' coaching staff is fully formed, and the next step is the draft.

The rookie in '97, although not full of talent, has Duncan, Maddie and Billups, which is enough to be remembered by the world. Because the seniority of all three of them (total rings, total All-Star appearances, win-shares, total salaries and everything you can think of) is stronger than all the trios except James Wade Bosh since 1994.

It's a pity that the Knicks didn't pick the three talented picks, and even the first-round pick was given to the Jazz in a trade for his father-in-law. In addition, the Knicks' second-round pick was given to the Lakers as early as the Doug Christie trade in '94.

"So in the next draft, we only have one second-round pick from the Suns in the Nash trade?"

"That's right." Dennis Johnson nodded.

The young president frowned and began to seriously consider whether to use this second-round pick to choose himself. After all, he is a college graduate this year and is eligible to show his face in the draft.

"Isn't it too cheap to be selected by a mere second-round pick? If only I had known to keep that first-round pick! ”

"Alas, in fact, the first-round pick is not very good, too late, if only I had this year's top pick. Then again, if there was a champion sign, would I probably choose Duncan instead of myself? In that case, you will really be scolded to death, right? ”

The young president was dreaming of becoming the top player this year by pressing Duncan when a rapid phone ringing woke him up.

The caller was a business assistant who stayed in China. The contract of the leather shoe factory has been negotiated, and the assistant asked Li Wei for instructions on whether to sign the contract.

Li Wei pondered for a moment. The coaching team is already crowded, and the draft conference will start in a few days, and there doesn't seem to be any important work at the moment.

"You wait for me, I will sign the contract in person, and I will return to China tomorrow!"

Putting down the phone, the first thing Li Wei did was to go home, get into the flying saucer, and invite Luo Wei to return to China with him.

"No, no." Luo Wei stared at the symbol floating in the air, and didn't look at Li Wei.

It seems that her research has reached a critical moment, and Li Wei does not dare to disturb. Whether the shooting can be accurate in the future depends on others!

Since Luo Wei didn't go, Li Wei set off alone. It's not appropriate to say that he is alone, and there are six bodyguards who follow him alone.

Before boarding the flight, he called the leather shoe factory, and it happened to be Xie Jianguo who answered the phone.

"Boss Li, I heard that your acquisition of the leather shoe factory is basically decided? So what, all of us have to be laid off first, and then rehired as appropriate? ”

"What, you're worried about being laid off?" Li Wei smiled lightly.

It is necessary to be laid off first and then re-employed, there are many thorny employees in the leather shoe factory now, and they are the kind of people who only receive wages and do not work, Li Wei is not Lei Feng, and it is impossible to support those people in vain.

Xie Jianguo said: "Everyone in the factory is worried about being laid off now. I said Boss Li, we are all so acquainted, you are still Siqi's godfather, don't I have to be laid off? ”

"Haha!" Li Wei laughed twice, "I said Xie Ke, you tell everyone, as long as you can work diligently, even if you are laid off, you will definitely be able to re-hire, don't worry." As for you, I actually have a good position for you, that is, sales manager, are you willing to be a sales manager? ”

"Me? Sales Manager? Xie Jianguo was first surprised, and then overjoyed.

In his impression, the sales department and the purchasing department are the most oily departments, and these two departments were in charge of the factory director's relatives in the past, and others couldn't get in on gifts!

"Boss Li, will you really give me such a position?"

Li Wei smiled lightly.

Xie Jianguo actually has a lot of problems, beating his wife, beating his children, playing drunk, fighting, and all kinds of evil things. But he also has advantages, that is, he can speak, can fool, and can explain things, such a person is definitely a talent when he starts sales.

"I can appoint you as a sales manager, but there will be a three-month probationary period, and I will have to evaluate you all the time. If you do a good job, I will give you a lot of commissions, and if you don't do well, then I will definitely change people! ”

Xie Jianguo hurriedly said: "Boss Li, don't worry, as long as you give me this position, I promise to do a good job!" ”

"Then get ready for your new position!"

The next day, Li Wei arrived in Xiangyang Town.

After more than ten hours on the plane and then on the train, the young president was very tired. After getting out of the car, he took two deep breaths and suddenly noticed a burnt smell in the air!

"What's going on?"

Sniffling suspiciously, the president looked at the pick-up personnel - Xie Jianguo didn't come, Director Liu and others came, with a smile on their faces, but that smile gave people the feeling, why was it so reluctant?

Li Wei's business assistant in China greeted him at this time, leaned into Li Wei's ear and said: "Boss, there was a fire in the leather shoe factory yesterday, and the factory was all burned, and our contract may not be signed for the time being." ”

"What, there was a fire, and the factory burned down?" Li Wei's eyes widened in surprise.

No wonder there is a smell of burnt paste in the air, it turns out that there is such a thing of a bewitcher!

In his previous life, he didn't remember that there was a fire in the shoe factory, and it seems that many things have changed since the crossing!

"Everyone's alright, right? There were no casualties, right? ”

The assistant said in a low voice: "Everyone is fine, but the factory is gone." ”

"Whew, it's okay if you're okay." Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

The shoe factory was a place that brought him countless memories from his previous life, and he didn't want his fellow villagers to die in the fire. As for the burning of the factory, it is actually a good thing. Anyway, the contract was not signed, and this burn can just keep the price down. The backward factories in the factory have to be rebuilt if they are not burned, but the people in the county also value these dilapidated houses very highly.

Li Wei was making his little calculations, and a timid girl's voice suddenly sounded in the distance: "Godfather!" ”

The skinny president shook, because the voice was too familiar to him!

"Siqi?"

Looking up into the distance, he saw Xie Siqi. The girl was now teary-eyed and seemed to have been greatly wronged.

Ignoring the bodyguard's stop, Li Wei quickly ran to Xie Siqi, grabbed her hand and said, "Siqi, what's wrong, who bullied you?" Or did your dad beat you? ”

Xie Siqi shook his head, wiped his tears and said, "No one bullied me, but my father was arrested and said to be in prison!" ”

Li Wei said in surprise: "What, your father is going to prison?" Wasn't he okay when we called yesterday? ”

"Woo, I don't know, they said that my dad set fire to it and destroyed the country's property!" Xie Siqi cried.

Li Wei frowned, turned around and asked, "Director Liu, is Siqi's words true?" Jianguo set fire? ”

Director Liu sighed and said, "Alas, I don't have the face to tell you about this." Yesterday, his father said that he was going to be promoted to manager, and he pulled a lot of people to drink, and after drinking, he didn't know what evil wind was coming, so he ordered the factory with the strength of the wine. Hey, this fire has not been completely extinguished. ”

"Oh my God!" Li Wei stomped his foot.

He knew that Xie Siqi's father liked to be drunk, but he didn't think he could be crazy like this!

A good factory, just say a little bit, this can't be too much to scold him!

Another deputy factory director came over and said: "Mr. Li, I'm really sorry, everyone is waiting for you to sign the contract, I didn't think that Da Xie did such a lack of morality." Don't worry, the county magistrate said, thank you for being a lawless person who destroys state property, and the death penalty is not heavy, and we will definitely deal with this matter strictly! ”

"Don't! Don't condemn my dad to death! Xie Siqi's tears flowed again.

Director Liu said: "Siqi, it's not that we sentenced him to death, it's that he burned the country's things, he is an arsonist!" We had a good talk with Boss Li, and he suddenly burned down the factory, who can spare him? ”

Another deputy factory director said: "Yes, Siqi, your father's disaster this time is a big disaster, even if he is sentenced to death, no one else is to blame!" ”

"Godfather!" Xie Siqi held Li Wei's hand tightly.

Li Wei gently patted Xie Siqi's shoulder and sighed: "Siqi, don't worry, godfather will help you think of a way." Director Liu, you said that I will sign an agreement now and buy the factory, then the factory will be mine. Siqi's father's fire is also all my property. I don't pursue him for setting fires, and you don't judge him, can you? ”

Director Liu's eyes widened and said, "The factory is burning, and you still want to buy the factory?" ”

Li Weidao: "Buy it at the original price, the premise is that you can't hold Siqi's father responsible!" ”

Director Liu said in disbelief: "Boss Li, if you are really willing to buy it, then Da Xie will definitely be fine." He burned your things, and you don't hold them accountable, so who can say anything? ”

Another deputy factory director said, "Mr. Li, don't fool us. This factory is burned down, and you can still spend money on it? ”

"I can buy it, it's nothing to me." Li Wei smiled slightly, and then said to Xie Siqi: "Siqi, did you hear Director Liu's words?" Don't cry, everything has a godfather. In this way, you go home first and let the adults in your family talk to me, and your father will definitely be fine. ”

"Oh, I'm going to call my mom!" Xie Siqi nodded, and then disappeared in a blink of an eye.
