The salary structure of the NBA is a more complicated part, and Min Congda has not had time to do his homework, and a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) is more than 400 pages long, and it is all in English, so it is impossible to read at all.

According to the collective bargaining agreement negotiated in '99, the contract amount and length of the rookie player were clearly stipulated, and the contract period for the first-round rookie was four years, including two years of full security and a two-year team option.

The contract amount is determined based on the draft pick, and the contract amount of the rookie before '99 is calculated as the weighted average of the annual salary of the same rookie in the previous seven years.

Starting in '99, the contract amount for the '98-99 season will be increased by 5% per year.

(P.S., not in annual increments of five percent, but in five percent of the contract amount for the '98-99 season, is a fixed value.) ）

For example, the standard contract amount for the No. 1 pick in the '98-99 season is $2.67 million in the first year, or about $134,000 for five percent.

Later, the standard contract amount of the champion was increased by $134,000 per year.

By 2009, the standard starting amount for a No. 1 contract had become $4.15 million.

The starting amount is $4.15 million, which can be increased by 10% per year thereafter, and up to a maximum of 26.1% by the final year team option.

Therefore, the standard contract amount of Zhuangyuanxiu in 2009 is 19 million for 4 years, and 4.15 million US dollars in the first year.

However, this amount is a standard amount, which can fluctuate between 80% and 120% in practice, and the annual increase can also be negotiated, not more than 10%.

In most cases, teams sign players for 120% of the standard amount, especially the top picks.

Since the implementation of the new collective bargaining agreement in 1999, there has not been a team that has not signed with Champion Xiu at 120% of the standard amount.

Because the first-round picks, especially the high-level shows, are potential rookies that the team is looking for, they should be focused on training.

And the contract offer given by Olchea on behalf of the Clippers is precisely the standard amount, that is, 100% of the contract does not fluctuate.

"Stephen Curry is a No. 1 overall pick, but Dell, you know, it was an accident. He should have been drafted by the Knicks at No. 8, in which case he would only get a four-year, $10 million contract, which is half of our contract. ”

"Anyway, you still earned Dell, didn't you?"

Olsie's explanation was full of arrogance, of course he did it on purpose, and he didn't discuss the contract amount with Min Congda at all.

After all, Min Congda did not discuss the selection of Curry with the management, and gave a decision in five minutes, negating the team's previous work.

Therefore, he wants to embarrass Curry in this matter, and even more so Min Congda.

Dele Curry shook his head, so angry that he almost pulled his son out of the arena because the Clippers' offer was simply unacceptable.

Curry also has an angry look on his face, he is a high-spirited player, and although he doesn't think he will be drafted with the first pick, he knows that it is not a problem of his strength, but a problem of the team's vision.

"If you are not prepared to treat my son with the treatment of the champion, then you should not choose my son in the first place!"

Olsie almost blurted out, "We weren't going to pick him!" Fortunately, Rosser held him down and calmed him down.

The atmosphere in the conference room was tense for a while.

Min Congda, who had been calmly observing from the sidelines, quickly realized the problem.

Olshea is a kid who humiliates Curry on the contract, right? Just because I chose someone you don't want?

The mood is understandable, but this kind of behavior is not worth advocating, the leaders have made a decision, how can they make a stumbling block casually?

Min got up at this time, closed the door to the conference room, and patted Dell Curry on the shoulder to make him sit down.

He used all of his sixth-level vocabulary and said to Dale Curry:

"Mr. Curry, this was just a misunderstanding, I just arrived at the team and didn't know anything about the management. Mr. Olser didn't quite recognize Curry's talent, and I didn't have that much time to explain to him, and he was a little unhappy that he chose your son on his own initiative. ”

"This contract is just a joke made by Mr. Olsche, and I, as the general manager of the team, make a guarantee that the contract given to Mr. Curry will not be less than a point, and there will be no discount! Ada, go get ready for a new, full-cost contract! ”

This is the longest passage Min Congda said in one breath after coming to Los Angeles, and the meaning is still very clear.

Hearing Min Congda's words, Curry's father and son's faces softened, and they looked at Olsher together.

Min Congda walked up to Olsie and whispered, "Shut up and don't speak, or you will be fired, and I will do what I say." ”

With the support of the system, Min Congda speaks harder and harder, and he doesn't care how deep Olshea's seniority is with the Clippers and the NBA.

I'm only keeping you because the system doesn't allow me to lay off people at will, but if you do something in the contract, there is a good reason to kill you.

Olsie listened to the chrysanthemum tightly, the new general manager's toughness was beyond his expectations, Sterling insisted on supporting this person, and Olsche's set of rhetoric was all rotten in his stomach, so he could only shut up and acquiesce.

Olshe's first pair of small shoes didn't fit on Min Congda.

The contract negotiation between the two parties has been spent without danger, and Min Congda does not care about some contract details in the future, and saving money is not the content of his job.

After processing Curry's contract and watching him sign the contract, Min Congda first breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought:

"I give someone a contract, five million a year without blinking, but what about myself? I'm just 200 dollars? ”

The new season doesn't start until the end of October, and with four months to go, Min feels like he doesn't have to do anything, just let the Clippers continue to rot.

Now he's more concerned about his salary, and the most recent game won't start until next month, so he has no income until then.

The system only gave him $200 in start-up capital, and it cost more than 20 for breakfast and lunch, so how will he live in the future?

Do you eat at work every day? I wonder if the Clippers have a canteen, whether they can be reimbursed for meals, whether there is a transportation subsidy, and whether there will be a subsidy for business trips?

These things are the first priority, and they must be understood.

So when he came to the general manager's office, Min Congda asked Ida to bring him the team's rules and regulations and financial statements.

At this time, Olser was moving his personal belongings out of the office and vacating the room for Min Congda.

Olchea said directly to Min Congda: "Smart, I don't know why Sterling trusts you so much, but if you keep messing around, the Clippers will be finished sooner or later." ”

Min Congda was happy, isn't this the result I want? It seems that I am on the right path.

"Maybe in three more seasons, there won't be any more Los Angeles Clippers in the NBA!" Olchea issued a "curse".

Min Congda frowned, it will take three seasons to finish, which is a bit slow.

It seems that I can't do nothing, I have to do something to speed up the progress.

He's still waiting to get $300 million for his next mission.

Sitting in the cleaned office, Ida sent Min Congda the team's rules and regulations and financial statements.

Min Congda took the rules and looked at them, needless to say, it was a lump of English, which could be understood but it was very difficult.

"It seems that there will be a rule in the future, and any document must be shown in Chinese."

Min Congda put down the rules and asked Ada some questions directly.

"How do you solve the problem of employees' diet?"

"Of course, it's on your own, but there will be a special food supply for the players' training."

"Where?"

"It's in the team's training hall, there's a players' cafeteria, are you going to inspect it?"

"No, no, no hurry, I'm just going to find out."

Ida thought that Min Congda was going to inspect the eating conditions of the players, but he didn't think that the manager just wanted to eat every day.

"When do the players start training?"

"Training camps usually start in October, but a lot of players start training in the summer. Because summer league is going to start in July, rookies and some undrafted picks will go to training camp. ”

"Yes, I'm going to take a look at it then."

Min Congda has already decided to go to eat.

Subsequently, Min Congda asked about the rules and regulations, and in general, Sterling, the owner of the Clippers, was not generous, and even very picky.

In addition to the basic salary and bonuses, the various subsidies and benefits of the staff are very limited, and it is said that the food allowance for the players and staff to go to the away game, Sterling has to find a way to deduct it to save the team's costs.

Min Congda couldn't help but think of the miserable situation of reimbursing the invoice at the bank, which was pressed and not signed, and the squeezing caused his credit card to not be able to eat instant noodles.

"Since the system has taken control of this door-slamming boss and needs me to help him go bankrupt, wouldn't it be nice if I simply increased the salary of the employees and increased the team's operating expenses?"

As soon as I had this idea in my heart, a system prompt appeared in front of me [The employee's salary increase shall not exceed 20%, otherwise it will be vetoed by the boss for violating the law.] At the same time, employees are not allowed to increase team expenses at will, and they are not allowed to pay their own salaries. 】

"Damn! There are still limitations in the system, and you can't send me money myself! It's really dancing in shackles, but it's not bad to add 20 percent. A 20% increase in human capital expenditure is not a small expense. ”

So, Min Congda said to Ada: "Pass it on, from today onwards, everyone's basic salary will be increased by 20 percent, and all doormen, cleaners, and outsourced employees will be counted in it!" And that includes you, Miss Ada. ”

Ida was taken aback and said, "This... Is this really okay? I'm just an intern. ”

"Intern? Well, from now on you're regular, you're a regular employee of the Clippers. ”

Ada couldn't believe her ears, and she was still trembling for fear that she would be terminated if she didn't do a good job.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Smart!"

"It's okay, by the way, I don't know your full name yet, Ada."

"My full name is, Ida Garcia Antonini."

"Oh, yes, good name, good name. Garcia, get a raise, haha......"
