On the afternoon of June 28, after more than two hours of flight, the Clippers' business plane arrived at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

In addition to Rosser, Olser and other executives, there is also a security team led by Sloane.

Sloan, who is attentive and thoughtful, has already made arrangements in Dallas two days in advance, and a Lincoln is already waiting in the airport parking lot.

Min Congda, who has always had a casual and simple dressing style, has to wear a very formal suit today, and the tie is tightly tied.

Getting into the car with Rosser and the others, Min Congda loosened his tie and took a breath and said, "It's so annoying to tie the tie, let's put it back on when I get to the venue." ”

"Hey, this Lincoln is good, was Kennedy the same Lincoln when he came to Dallas? Sloane, why didn't you get me a convertible? ”

Sloane, who was sitting in the co-pilot, turned his head to look at Min Congda, with a smile on his face, but did not speak.

The atmosphere in the car was quite tense, and Rosser, Olsie, Jeff Ball and others had all seen the big world, and they were all top executives in the NBA.

But this meeting is still not trivial, it is a consultation and meeting between the owners of 30 teams and the highest level of the league before the labor-management negotiations on June 30.

If the NBA is described as a feudal power, then the owners of the 30 teams are the real controllers of this big country, the 30 princes and lords.

David Stern was not the greatest lord of the lords, he was just the chief governor of the country elected by these lords.

Therefore, Stern is on the same side as the management.

Of course, it should have been Sterling who was supposed to represent the Clippers at the meeting.

But since Min Congda became the general manager of the Clippers, all the affairs of the team have been handed over to Min Congda.

This time was no exception, and Sterling was said to have sunbathed in the Black Sea.

The draft meeting and labor negotiations were all entrusted to Min Congda.

At this moment, Min Congda represents the Clippers and is one of the 30 major princes and lords of the alliance.

His identity became completely different at this moment, and the awe of Rosser, Olser and others deepened for him.

Seeing that Rosser and the others were a little nervous, Min Congda took the initiative to open the topic and said, "Rosser, do you think the alliance will come to a halt this time?" ”

Rosser said: "I think it's very dangerous, and the bosses won't back down." Last season, we were doing very well, but we were still able to make a profit..."

"Don't say it..."Min Congda hurriedly told Rosser to stop, the last thing he wanted to hear was the Clippers' profitability.

The environment is so bad, everyone is losing money, and even when the team goes bankrupt, the Clippers are still profitable!

Last season, he made a profit of more than 5 million, and Min Congda tried his best to come up with a brilliant idea to change the LOGO and spent the 5 million.

As a result, the marketing event was turned into performance art by Kanye West, and the Clippers sold a lot.

At the end of the season, there must be a large extra profit in the surrounding area, and it explodes when you think about it.

Cutting off the topic of profits, Min Congda asked: "If the alliance is shut down, even... There will be no NBA anymore, what are you going to do? ”

Rosser and Olser and the others looked at each other, what is this called a problem?

Although the alliance will be suspended, everyone knows that this is just a means of negotiation.

When the players can't take it anymore, they'll come back to play.

After all, for owners, many owners don't rely on the NBA to make money.

And the golden period of the players is at this point, if you want to say that it is consumed, the bosses can afford it more.

As long as the players come back to play and the league continues to open, these executives will naturally have jobs.

Jeff Ball replied first: "Of course I'm going back to college as a coach." ”

If it weren't for Min Congda's invitation, Jeff Ball would have been preparing to coach at the university.

Rosser said: "Looking for a salary to be the financial director, Wells Fargo has invited me. ”

"Oh yes, it's good to go to China to continue training, it's a good job," Olser said. ”

Min Congda nodded, although he was often arrogant to Rosser and the others on weekdays, he knew that these guys were elites.

Even if you leave the NBA, you will have a good career, and you don't have to worry about employment at all.

As for the NBA players, they say "labor", but in fact they are all millionaires or even multimillionaires.

Back in 1999, when the collective bargaining stagnation was suspended, some media and fans criticized it as nothing more than "a battle between tall millionaires and short multimillionaires." ”

The real hurt are the basketball lovers who have invested a lot of money, time and energy into basketball.

"Yes, even if the NBA is gone, everyone will have a bright future." Min Congda said meaningfully.

Rosser was puzzled and said, "Mr. Smart, do you think that this shutdown will lead to more serious consequences?" ”

Min Congda smiled and said, "There is nothing impossible in this world, and there is no empire that will not die. Did you know that there have been many unified dynasties in China's history, but in the end they all came to an end. We Chinese have the most profound experience of the rise and fall of this kind of thing. ”

Eighteen months ago, when the shutdown was on the horizon, there were already fears that the crisis would lead to a "small disintegration" of the NBA.

The so-called small disintegration is that some teams will leave the league and leave the professional basketball market because of losses.

Such a situation is not impossible, don't look at the NBA is now full of scenery, and there are many crises in history.

Especially in the early days, many teams were long out of the league for a variety of reasons.

The bankruptcy of bankruptcy, the exit of exit, and the change of court, the makeover.

To put it bluntly, the NBA league is also a commercial company, and if the company is a company, it may go bankrupt and die.

Basketball is a sport that may have been around for the rest of the world.

However, it is entirely possible for a league organization to disappear due to various reasons such as operation.

It can even be said that, according to the laws of nature, one day its collapse is inevitable.

It's just that at the moment, the NBA is far from this point.

However, the demise of an empire is not always the order of the day, and unexpected events can also lead to the sudden collapse of the organization.

Once such a situation occurs, the NBA will not be a small disintegration, but a major disintegration.

Promoting the disintegration of the NBA is Min Congda's number one ultimate means to complete the task.

It is a "Trojan Plan" that is even more thorough than the "Afang Palace Plan".

It's just that Min Congda is not completely sure, so he can only take one step at a time.

After all, his personal strength is still very small, so he follows the trend.

Because of Min Congda's words, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became more dignified.

In the eyes of Rosser and others, Min Congda has always been far-sighted and optimistic.

He is so worried, the situation is really not optimistic.

Some people died, but not completely......
