NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 210 Planning!

Back to the apartment.

Xue Liancheng knocked on Zhuang Yan's door.

moment.

The door opened a crack, Zhuang Yan showed half of his face, and yawned as he said, "Brother, I'm almost falling asleep, what's the matter?"

Smell bursts of fragrance.

If it was normal, Xue Liancheng would definitely tease this little beauty.

But now, his heart is extremely heavy, how can he still have that kind of leisurely mood.

"Riley asked me to talk about renewing the contract."

Hear this.

Zhuang Yan looked straight, and quickly opened the door. He was wearing pajamas, and his curvy figure could be seen at a glance.

But she couldn't care less, and asked very seriously, "Why didn't he contact me?"

Xue Liancheng: "You guess?"

Zhuang Yan pondered for a moment, and then immediately thought of the problem: "He wants to kidnap you with team feelings?"

Xue Liancheng nodded with a wry smile.

Zhuang Yan heheed twice, "Isn't this too shameless?"

Although Xue Liancheng agreed with this very much, he didn't know how to answer it for a while, and his face was full of helplessness.

Zhuang Yan looked at Xue Liancheng: "Looking at your listless appearance, I guess the price they offered must be outrageous."

Xue Liancheng: "5 million in 6000 years."

Zhuang Yan was also startled, no sleepiness at all: "How much?"

Xue Liancheng repeated: "5 million in 6000 years."

Zhuang Yan shouted high: "Are they crazy?"

No wonder Zhuang Yan was excited.

How is Xue Liancheng doing now?
MVP level!
result.

The renewal contract offered by the Heat is half of the maximum salary, only 5 million in five years.

This contract may not even be able to keep some strong starters. After all, as the league re-signs a huge TV broadcast agreement, the salary cap will rise sharply next season. This season is 6300 million, and next season will rise to $7000 million.

The salary cap for the 16-17 season will be even more exaggerated, directly mentioning $9414 million.

At that time, Xue Liancheng's rookie contract will officially end, and the new contract will take effect in the first year.

At that time, as long as there were players of a certain standard, it was easy and pleasant to have a starting salary of tens of millions.

At that time, the maximum salary started at 3000 million...

If Xue Liancheng triggers the Ross clause, he will also enjoy the maximum salary.

The Heat only offered a 5-year 6000 million contract extension.

This is not only insulting, but also treating Xue Liancheng as a fool.

Not to mention sincerity, not even a little respect.

It's no wonder she wasn't excited...

The corner of Xue Liancheng's mouth twitched slightly, "I don't know if they are crazy or not, but I am going crazy anyway."

Zhuang Yan was silent for a moment: "What are you thinking?"

Xue Liancheng: "It's still a question, it's definitely unacceptable."

He is no fool.

Make sacrifices for the team and sacrifice 8000 million in salary.

What the hell...

Looking back now, he was angry...

5 million U.S. dollars in 1 years, cut him directly to 4500 million U.S. dollars in 5 years, just ask if you don't lose your conscience, how shameless?
Zhuang Yan: "I mean, they insulted you so much, are you still willing to talk about renewing your contract?"

Xue Liancheng breathed out, "There is no need to talk about this season, let's talk about it after the season is over."

Zhuang Yan rolled her eyes slightly and nodded, "Understood."

As for what to understand.

Needless to say, I know everything.

As a rising superstar, the team didn't give him dignity, not even the most basic respect, so it's time to consider the way forward.

The meaning Xue Liancheng expressed was already obvious enough.

——The desire to retreat arises.

As for this season, he must play well and maintain his worth.

And next season, the Heat will 100% implement the contract, but since they have already started to withdraw.

So……

how to run?Where are you going?How can I escape?
These questions should test her ability as a manager.

After pondering for a while, she continued, "I think it's time to make some preparations."

Xue Liancheng: "You can operate it, but... just don't embarrass me too much."

You should really plan ahead.

after all……

The development of the situation has gotten a little out of control. Riley's operation this time really hurt his fiery heart.

According to his original plan, he was to play well for the Heat, accumulate more personal honors, and strive to expand his influence.

Because the Heat's current lineup has a good foundation, Gasol Jr., Ibaka, Batum, Marcus Morris, PJ-Tucker and others will have very strong strength for a long time in the future. Germany's state has declined, but they can still maintain a certain degree of competitiveness.

As long as the team's record is solid, with his current ability, it is not a problem to get some honors.

Coupled with the presence of his mentor who supported him, his life in Miami was relatively relaxed and happy, and there were no complicated relationships to deal with.

He really didn't intend to leave.

but now……

The old rascal Riley has already cut the crushing knife on him, and is exhausted.

What about the others?

Even if his core is cut, how can others be better?

This season, Gasol is a completely free agent, and Wade, Batum, and Marcus Morris can all jump out of the contract.

There is little doubt that Gasol is looking for a max salary.

Wade will also seek a three-year contract, and the starting salary should be more than 3 million.

If Batum remembers correctly, he executed the last year of the contract, but it still costs more than 1000 million.

By the end of the contract in the summer of 16, the Bobcats offered a super maximum salary of 5 million for five years.

Ok……

Even Batum gets the maximum salary, Riley actually offered him 5 million for 6000 years, what a shit...

Marcus Morris played an important role on the bench, averaging 10+ points per game, and seeking an annual salary of around 800 million is beyond doubt.

Now comes the problem.

The Heat already have to pay nearly 3000 million in luxury tax this season. If these people stay, the Heat's luxury tax next season will pierce the sky.

With Riley's old rascal's style of acting, certainly not all of them will stay.

Because the team still has the rubbish contract of Mike Roberts.

Last summer, when James left, the old hooligan Riley, who was known as a fortune teller, went to the doctor in a hurry. He offered Loel Deng a 2-year 2000 million contract and Mike Roberts a 4-year 2300 million contract.

Luol Deng has been traded out.

Mike Roberts fell directly out of the rotation, but had to pay more than $500 million in salary every year.

They don't have the salary space to reinforce at all, no... they may not even be able to keep the players in their own team.

Even Wade still has to leave, Marcus Morris will leave, and Chalmers will be seriously injured next season.

In other words, for the Heat next season, the bench will be severely weakened, and without Wade in the starting lineup, it will also be lowered by a notch.

Competitiveness does not rise but falls.

In addition, Spoel also joined the queue to exploit him, and the relationship between the two has already appeared a huge rift.

Whether they can be reunited after a broken mirror, no one knows.

Under various factors, he thought of leaving for the first time.

but……

People haven't left yet.

The trouble was too ugly, and it couldn't end in the end, and he was the one who was hurt.

So, he reminded Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan nodded: "Don't worry, I have a measure."

The two fell silent.

Xue Liancheng still hasn't figured out what Riley wants to do...

Tell the truth.

At that time, he heard that Randy Fender proposed a five-year contract extension of 5 million yuan, and he almost exploded on the spot.

What the hell...

Too bully.

If you want to talk about bargaining, then you have to make a decent price!
What does 5 in 6000 years mean?
wrong……

There is no room for bargaining at all.

He should be given a top salary.

Any bargaining is disrespectful to him.

a long time.

Xue Liancheng stroked his forehead and sighed deeply: "Miss Zhuang, do I look easy to bully?"

Zhuang Yan frowned and thought for a while, "NBA is a business league, there is no emotion at all, they are just testing your bottom line."

Hear this.

Xue Liancheng finally understood something.

Did Riley make such an offer on purpose in order to test him and see if he is easy to bully?
If his reaction is not violent, then he will desperately lower the price, as much as he can.

If he jumps, it's time for Riley to use emotional cards and a maximum salary to keep him.

Hey……

The abacus is really clinking, it is worthy of being a fortune teller.

but.

The super bad contract given to Mike Roberts last summer was not as accurate as Riley's calculations were.

After that, Taylor-Johnson and Whiteside's contract operations were also trivial.

It touches to start the two transactions of Loel Deng and Bosh, which is commendable.

of course.

If it weren't for infighting, Riley probably wouldn't have pressed the trade button either.

that night.

The "Yahoo Sports" columnist was the first to expose the news: the Heat negotiated with Xue Liancheng to renew his contract in advance, and offered a shocking five-year 5 million contract.

"Sports Illustrated" also reported later: According to insiders, Xue Liancheng felt insulted.

As soon as the news came out, it caused a huge wave.

"My mother, a 5-year contract of 6000 million yuan is actually available, is it true?"

"A supernova with 22+10+5 has an annual salary of only tens of millions? Is Riley trying to commit suicide by caesarean section?"

"Isn't it? This is not treating Xue Liancheng as a person at all! I seriously doubt the authenticity of the news."

"Riley picked up gold and it's not a treasure."

Countless voices of doubt and abuse arose from the floor.

Especially Heat fans.

They all felt incredible about the five-year 5 contract renewal offer that the Heat offered Xue Liancheng.

Xue Liancheng's performance.

Proper top salary.

How could it be possible to give such an outrageous offer, are you insane?
And this time.

Randy Fender's private phone calls were blown up, and other teams asked Xue Liancheng if there was a possibility of trading.

Among them, the Indiana Pacers are the most active, and even directly stated that the Pacers' existing players can be selected at will, including the injured Paul George.

Show your card directly and be full of sincerity.

This piece of information was released by the famous Whistleblower King Woshen.

This is the biggest and most important rumor before the trade deadline.

Randy Fender was a little confused, and after declining one by one, he urgently communicated with Riley.

this night.

Many people can't sleep.

Including Xue Liancheng.

The next day.

When he got up and saw these crazy rumors, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

He knew that this was Zhuang Yan's handwriting.

But he didn't expect it to be so big.

Didn't you just say that you are just making some preparations for a rainy day?
This is ready to be known throughout the city.

He really wanted to ask Zhuang Yan what kind of plane he was working on.

But he quickly calmed down.

After thinking about it carefully, I feel that Zhuang Yan did nothing wrong.

Zhuang Yan disclosed such news for two purposes.

First, deter the Heat's management, don't treat them as fools, and also show their attitude that they will not renew the contract unless they are paid the maximum salary.

Second, it is to plant the seeds for leaving in the future, or to inform the other 29 teams in advance that Xue Liancheng was not welded to death in Miami. If he wants to, he must prepare in advance.

For example, clear the salary space, leave the point guard position, and reserve trading chips or signing space in advance.

In this way, if he really wants to leave, he can choose his favorite team calmly.

And for him, it didn't matter.

after all……

This is just a rumor, and no one will verify whether it is true or not.

Even if it took ten thousand steps back, Riley knew that he was the one who revealed the news, so what?
You can't retaliate against him for this and limit his playing time, right?
If Riley does.

That's crazy.

The Heat's management can only bear this dumb loss.

The most important thing is that by doing this, Zhuang Yan took a deep breath of anger for him.

humiliate me?
Ah……

Being scolded and punished...

When Xue Liancheng came out, Zhuang Yan was preparing breakfast.

Zhuang Yan greeted with a smile, "Wake up, come and have breakfast."

Xue Liancheng raised his eyebrows, and asked curiously, "How did you get online with Yahoo Sports and Sports Illustrated?"

Since signing Zhuang Yan, "Yahoo Sports" and "Sports Illustrated" suddenly turned around, and they are about to become his exclusive media just like FOX Sports' Frank.

As long as his news appears, almost the whole article is praising him, touting him, and constantly pushing him to the ranks of top stars.

This is also the reason why he has been so popular recently.

"Yahoo Sports" and "Sports Illustrated" are also sports media giants with great influence.

Originally, he was just skeptical.

Now that the two media outlets have exposed his 5-year 6000 contract renewal incident, he is basically sure that Zhuang Yan has a close relationship with the columnists of the two media outlets.

Zhuang Yan smiled slightly, "Use your lips, what else can you use?"

Xue Liancheng: "..."

He naturally did not believe such nonsense.

How could the media with such a huge influence be able to persuade them with just lip service and praise a player throughout the article.

Just kidding?
"Yahoo Sports" and "Sports Illustrated" are not only involved in the field of basketball. In terms of influence, they are definitely no less than ESPN.

Zhuang Yan served Xue Liancheng a bowl of porridge.

After the two sat down.

She said: "I said before that I want to build you into a brand, and now I have a few suggestions that I want to tell you."

Xue Liancheng: "Well... tell me."

Since signing Zhuang Yan, she has indeed made some achievements.

I don't know what she did, but she actually set up a foundation for his old father, um...you can also call it a consortium, and what's even more incredible is that she recruited a large sum of money.

And her explanation was that she used his influence to operate him and continue to expand her influence.

He didn't know the details, he only knew that the legal person of the foundation was his old father, and she was entrusted to manage it.

Ok……

There is an additional management fee.

He thinks it's normal, that he can get money without his portrait, without his endorsement, and without his name, and that's a skill.

The management fee is also considered to be willing.

Zhuang Yan: "First of all, set up a brokerage company, which will help you expand your influence in the league."

Xue Liancheng was stunned for a moment.

Isn't this the way of my big James?
but……

Tell the truth.

Really useful.

James has a good relationship with many NBA players, and the Klutch agency is the link.

He even went out of the circle and signed sports stars in other fields, such as the No. [-] sports in the rice country, rugby, which was infiltrated by Fu Paulo.

Xue Liancheng frowned and thought for a while, "And then?"

Zhuang Yan asked instead: "What do you think is the most direct way to expand your influence?"

Xue Liancheng: "What is it?"

Zhuang Yan: "It has been rendered and packaged by the media."

Xue Liancheng raised his eyebrows, and thought of me, Big Zhan Huang, "Don't tell me, you want to set up your own media?"

Zhuang Yan: "Yes, is there a problem?"

Xue Liancheng laughed dumbfounded.

Establishing your own media, or controlling giant media, to package yourself and build momentum for yourself, isn't this the way I left the big Zhan Huang?
Really are……

Nothing new.

but……

Really fragrant.

After "Yahoo Sports" and "Sports Illustrated" stood up for him, the voice of criticizing him was obviously much smaller.

even……

It also attracted a large number of initial fans for him.

The benefits have already been eaten in the mouth, and it is really delicious.

Xue Liancheng didn't say anything, but asked again, "What else?"

Zhuang Yan: "I've already said about creating a character design. Next, there is the most important step, to build your own team, and then use all the resources of the team to deify yourself."

Xue Liancheng was taken aback, "You want me to buy a team?"

I boil...

With his low salary, can he afford him?
Even if you can buy it.

Alliances are also not allowed.

The labor agreement clearly stipulates that players are not allowed to hold team shares.

The reason is also very simple.

Destroy the team's ecology, solidify the circulation of players, and destroy the balance of the league.

For example, if a player is a shareholder of the team, will he still leave his team?This causes solidification.

For another example, if players can hold shares, a few superstars get together and buy a team to be the owner of the same team, then what a fart!
There are also some other disadvantages, such as black-box operations, players overriding the management, labor and capital chaos, etc. There are too many, which are not conducive to the development of the league.

And the most important thing is that he moved the cheese of other team owners.

Originally owned a superstar, and has been ranked among the top players year after year, there is a lot of room for appreciation.

Your players also come to intervene, isn't that the same as sharing the wealth with them?
The league bosses naturally couldn't accept it.

Let him buy the team?
how to buy……

Zhuang Yan nodded seriously, "Yes, this is an important part of my plan for you."

Xue Liancheng frowned, "Do you think it's possible?"

Zhuang Yan replied solemnly, "Nothing is impossible."

Xue Liancheng spread his hands: "I have no money!"

Zhuang Yan smiled, "Don't forget, you are a member of a consortium, and you have no money, so you can raise money legally."

Hear this.

Xue Liancheng was stunned.
