Min Congda is also a person who has had the experience of killing two birds with one stone, and even fighting Lu Bu three times.

But the big team battle of five or six people is the first time to experience, and I enjoy the treatment of a mosaic actor in a small Japanese movie.

In fact, Min Congda himself can be regarded as an individual, after a long meeting of five hours a day, he still has the energy to learn martial arts with the beauties of Texas.

may have been holding back too long, and being hurt too deeply by Harden's mother, this time the five hits did not fall behind, and finally fell asleep until the next morning.

On the morning of June 29, he woke up and washed up, ate breakfast arranged by Kuban, contacted Olshher and others to say hello, and Min Congda and Kuban left Dallas for New York on his private jet together.

After arriving in New York, Min Congda first met with Olsie and others, and the negotiation venue was set up at the Westin Hotel in Times Square.

Min Congda's heart was slightly furious as soon as he arrived in Times Square - this was the place that had cost him $50,000.

Seeing Min Congda's full spirit, Olsie and the others didn't ask him much where he went last night and why he went.

"The shutdown is a high probability, and this time the management team is determined to resist to the end. What does the labor side say, is there any news? Min Congda asked.

Olchea has a good relationship with many of the players, is friends with Billy Hunt, the executive director of the players' union, and everyone is closely watching the negotiation process.

"The stance of the Labor side has also been very tough, especially with Derrick Fisher, president of the players' union, and LeBron James, vice-president, who are adamantly unwilling to budge on the salary cap."

"There is a high probability that today's negotiations will not lead to anything, and a shutdown is indeed a high probability. Mr. Smart, what are we going to do next? ”

Once the shutdown begins, the team can no longer supervise the players, organize training camps, and cannot make any deals.

All employees of the team, including assistant coaches, trainers, etc., will be banned from any contact with players by the league.

In other words, Min Congda can't go to Curry's house to eat, the training hall is not open, and he can't go to lunch.

This is the most headache for Min Congda, whether there is a game or not is a trivial matter, and not having food is a big problem.

Min Congda thought about it, if they were given jobs, they would have to make some achievements and make some profits, wouldn't it be the end of the calf?

Forget it, I have to implement my style, so I said to a few people: "The arrangement is, do nothing!" ”

"And do nothing?"

This answer was completely unexpected by Olshea, Rosser, and others.

You're a magic conch, you know how to do nothing.

Jeff Bauer looked confused, he took out a small notebook and wanted to remember the next work arrangement.

The result is doing nothing?

Olser and Rosser are used to it.

Nowadays they have a strong sense of initiative.

Min Congda didn't need to make work arrangements at all, they had already figured out what to do during the shutdown.

Olser is going to take a scout team to China to meet with Fan Chen to see what is going on with the Asian Basketball Development Foundation.

Rosser has to take advantage of the shutdown to take care of the team's finances, and now the Clippers have a lot of income but also a lot of expenses.

It is necessary to make good use of some financial tools to prepare for the expansion of the team's assets.

Jeff Ball has yet to grasp the essence of working under Min Congda.

He asked, "Mr. Smart, do you really do nothing?" ”

Min Congda thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know how to cook?" ”

Bauer was stunned for a moment and said, "Uh... Not really, my wife cooks at home. ”

"Forget it, I can't count on you, you can go home and rest. The salary is still paid, don't think about it, and enjoy the shutdown life. ”

……

On the afternoon of June 30, the two sides began the last negotiation before the expiration of the collective bargaining agreement at the Westin Hotel.

After two and a half hours of talks, the two sides were still unable to reach an agreement, and the negotiations failed.

On the evening of June 30, in the press conference hall of the Westin Hotel, a grim-faced David Stern announced that the league would officially shut down at 0:00 EST on July 1.

Min Congda sat at the press conference and saw David Stern looking tired after not eating for three days, and felt both sympathetic to this old man and refreshed.

It's finally shut down, which means that if the new season doesn't start yet, the Clippers will have no cash flow!

The commercial value of the team and the league as a whole will also drop significantly due to the shutdown.

Because the NBA has contracts with various teams and a lot of sponsors.

You don't play, the advertiser's loss to the league and the team is to be compensated.

Losing money makes Min Congda so happy.

Anyway, Min Congda told Rosser that he would do things in full accordance with the contract, and he would pay if he should pay for it.

If you don't have enough money, you will make an IOU, and you will never default on the compensation.

"A team can go bankrupt, but a person's credibility can't go bankrupt!"

Min Congda is talking about righteousness and awe-inspiring, looking like a god of business.

Always put credibility first.

In an interview after the press conference, Executive Director Hunt said: "I think employers and employees should set up a system before talking about the economic aspects. ”

Matt Bonner, vice president of the players' union, said: "We tried to avoid a shutdown but unfortunately we couldn't reach an agreement. ”

Don't look at Bonner as a bench player, but like Lao Yu, he is very authoritative among the players off the court.

Probably because he is very good at saving money, the players are willing to nominate him as vice president.

Min Congda saw Bonner's eloquent appearance, and thought to himself that Bonner must be very broken now.

This big slam has cut off the source of income, and isn't it even tighter these days.

In short, the shutdown is a huge loss for both labor and management.

Based on the experience of the previous time, the shutdown in 1999 dragged on from '98 until January 20, 1999, before the two sides reached an agreement.

More than 200 days of shutdown cost the NBA nearly $1.5 billion.

That's $1.5 billion around 2000.

Now, if the shutdown continues for such a long time, the losses will definitely be even greater.

But there is no way, the United States has never been a society that pays attention to "taking the overall situation into account".

What is important here is to play with each other, even if both sides lose, they must distinguish between high and low.

When it comes to fairness, there is a fair side, and when it comes to cruelty, it is also very cruel.

For those high-paid players, the shutdown naturally doesn't matter, they have money.

And even if you can't play in the NBA, other countries have the same ball.

With their current fame and strength, they can get a high salary anywhere they go.

Some of the low-level players are miserable, especially the rookies who just entered the league this year.

The contract was signed, and the salary was not paid a penny.

Although the players' union is a whole, it is not fair internally.

It is still a small number of people who have the right to speak, not the majority of the bottom players who need to work.

Most of the low-level players are coerced by a few stars who have the right to speak and confront the management.

They suffer the most losses and give the most benefits to a few stars.

To put it bluntly, some superstars are no longer in the same class as most players in the same camp in terms of salary, assets and fame.

No wonder the 1999 shutdown was a confrontation between millionaires and multimillionaires.

After the interview, Min returned to his room and logged into his NBA-Batman account and tweeted:

"The NBA is officially suspended, the long night is approaching, and the sun does not know when to rise."

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