Chapter 101 [You from the orangutan]

The two sides had a post-draft negotiation and broke up within an hour without reaching any consensus.

Prior to this, although there were many disputes between the employers and employees, they never missed a regular season.The exception this time, because the formal negotiations have not yet started, Ewing's public speech, the chairman of the players' union, directly forced labor into a disadvantageous situation.

Stern made it clear: "The wages of NBA players are already too high compared to ordinary people, and they shouldn't ask for more."

Ewing could have answered in countless ways, but chose the most mindless one: "Yes, we earn a lot, but we also spend a lot."

There are many fans calling Ewing "gorilla" for a long time. Suddenly, this summer, Ewing's IQ has degraded to the level of an orangutan.

What are the pig teammates in the world?Players just want to say, this is it.

As a result, the audience will not sympathize with the players at all, and think it is nothing more than "a game of profit sharing between multi-millionaires and billionaires".And superstars are hopelessly greedy people.

Even if the final negotiation is completed, the NBA's brand image will certainly be affected to some extent.

The focus of NBA collective bargaining is how much NBA players can share in the game proceeds. According to regulations, if this ratio exceeds 52%, it should be renegotiated, and their share ratio has reached 57% last season.

Even so, the representatives of the players' union are still not satisfied, hoping to finally get 63% of the share ratio, and then they are willing to adjust the salary increase floating issue.

Of course the boss won't agree, so are they still the boss?It's just a job for the players.

The superstar's salary is not capped, and he still wants to fight for benefits for his group of younger brothers, so that they can also get high salaries, really use the bosses as an ATM?

A superstar like Ewing is not short of money, and his wealth is enough to last for several lifetimes even if he doesn't play. The unlucky ones are marginal, basic-salary players.

This year's rookies are very depressed. They finally left the campus to make money, but this kind of thing happened.

On July 7, the NBA officially entered a shutdown period.Not only are all stadiums closed, but even the official NBA website has been shut down. Fans cannot see photos and news of the stars from the official website.The agreement stipulates that NBA officials have no right to use any player's pictures and text during the lockout period, and the same is true for the team.

In addition, the free market is closed, the team cannot negotiate any trades, sign and trade players, players cannot use the team's training facilities for any reason, and the team cannot hold summer training camps, exhibitions, practices, teams conferences and coaching sessions.

The most annoying rule is that international players with contracts cannot represent the national team in competitions. It just so happens that the men's basketball world championships are going to be held this summer, and the American Dream Team can't make up the lineup. It is difficult to win the championship.

Some poor players ran out to find jobs, first working part-time to support their families.

Those free agents and rookies who have not signed a formal contract with any NBA team can play during the lockout period to earn extra money.

Brad Miller is such a "lucky guy" that he was undrafted and could go anywhere he likes.

What's even better is that he received a call from the Raptors management on the second day of the draft, expressing his willingness to give him a basic salary and let him play for the Raptors in the new season, without even worrying about it.

Yang Rui has nothing to do, just play every day.

On this day, Thomas Bentley came back from get off work and said to Yang Rui: "Tell you, I have cleared all the stocks."

"Okay, when are you going to buy it back?"

"Depending on the situation, it is not far from the adjustment. The Asian financial turmoil that started last year is not over yet, international speculators have started a new round of attacks on Hong Kong, and the Hang Seng Index is plummeting. It is impossible for US stocks to remain unaffected... In short , the safest to sell now.”

Yang Rui nodded, admiring Thomas' ability even more, he avoided the impending crash.

He succeeded by looking ahead, and Thomas was a true genius.

He doesn't know how to trade stocks, but he knows that in the future, something big will happen this year.In 1998, the U.S. stock market had a shocking reversal. It first plunged 7% from July to October, and then led the market to counterattack sharply, from more than 10 points to nearly 33 points.

When talking about work, Thomas was very excited, and he even thought about what to do after the adjustment, that is, to continue to hold Cisco Systems.Now the computer industry is so hot, there is a new term called "netizen", it is absolutely right to buy something related to the Internet.

This theory is absolutely correct.Cisco is engaged in Internet solutions, equipment and software products. It began to grow in 1996. By 2004, it had more than 5000 employees worldwide and became a super giant with a single annual turnover of more than 220 billion US dollars.

The two made a lot of money before, and now Cisco's stock price is not high, 13 yuan more per share.If you buy it, you just lie down and take the money, and ship it before the U.S. stock market crash in 2000. The stock price must be more than 50 yuan.

With Thomas here, they can happily hunt for dips after the limelight is over.

Yang Rui is living a stress-free life. He doesn't care how much salary the Raptors can give. Even if he only invests in stocks, he will be a millionaire in the future. Being a coach is purely to pursue the thrill of fame and love the basketball industry.

But he was not satisfied and wanted to make more money to facilitate future investments.Even if their current funds are full, they will not be able to make more than 200 million in the short term. They can buy and sell in the future, but it is difficult to make huge profits.

No way, the principal is too low.

What can you do to double your funds or more by November?Yang Rui thought hard.

He doesn't want to always rely on Thomas to make money, but as a rebirth, he hugs his friend's thigh, which is too wasteful.In his last life, he had lived a plain enough life.

He remembered the lines from the movie "Never Ending". "The only problem is that if I don't improve, I'm going to feel pain in the ass."

It is possible for a person to be more successful and not to do it, that is decadence.

When Yang Rui was thinking about what to invest in to make money at home, he received a call from Thibodeau.

"Jerry, what are you doing?"

"Staying in a daze at home, I don't know what to do with the shutdown." Yang Rui sighed.

"Come out for dinner? Call little Tom, I've made money, treat yourself." Thibodeau laughed.

When the three met and chatted, it turned out that Thibodeau had bought football betting. Last night, in the World Cup semifinals, France beat Croatia 2-1, and he earned it.

"As coaches in our sports circle, can we participate in gambling? Will the money be said by the media and checked by others?"

Thibodeau shook his head and said with a smile: "What do you think? We're not betting on NBA game manipulation, we're just buying football bets. This is just a hobby. Who would check? Even David Stern, does he still Can you control the football World Cup?"

Interlaced like a mountain, Stern certainly couldn't control football.Yang Rui's mind became hot. "That is to buy casually?"
