Chapter 426 The King Has Been Saved

"Why?"

Confirming that Su Yang was not joking, Jeffrey raised his eyebrows and asked back, thinking that I have worked for the king for so many years, and I was personally recommended by the president of the league. Although you are the boss, you must give a reason, otherwise you will sue the court, that is A large compensation fee.

A few female staff members next to me stared at Su Yang with wide eyes, with some anxious expressions, as if they wanted to say that the boss made a mistake, and some expressions were filled with righteous indignation, as if they felt the same way as Jeffrey. Talk about the law?
Su Yang took a closer look at Jeffrey David again. He had thick brows and big eyes and a Chinese character face. His image was quite decent. Thinking about it, he was very friendly when he smiled before. It is really difficult to connect with corrupt criminals. If there is no definite evidence, he will rashly accuse Mostly in vain.

"Why? Why don't we contact the Sacramento Sports Partners that you founded?"

Jeffrey's face changed suddenly, and then he said: "Sorry, I'm going to go through the resignation process right away. I give up all compensation and compensation, and promise not to talk about anything about the Kings." After finishing speaking, he walked out of the office in despair, as if crossing the street mouse.

The incident happened so quickly that the younger brothers and sisters in the revenue department didn't react, and Jeffrey suddenly gave up resistance, which made them dizzy. Even Jeff Petrie, who has decades of experience in the NBA, , also full of doubts.

Su Yang didn't bother to explain in detail, but instead said: "Everyone can tell the staff of other departments what happened just now. I will reward those who make contributions, those who can complete tasks stably, and dismiss those who hinder the team, or even commit crimes.

I am king from today, many things will change, but the above three points will not change, if there is anything wrong in the past, please leave yourself, I don't want to make it too ugly, I have the evidence, Geoffrey David Just the case..."

In fact, there is not a lot of evidence. The main thing is to shake the mountain and shake the tiger. It is best to scare away the incompetent and criminals.

Several brothers and girls nodded repeatedly, and Su Yang continued: "After all the personnel are confirmed, I will ask the human resources department to conduct a salary assessment. I promise to only increase and not decrease. The official announcement will be made in the name of the team chairman later. .”

"Thank you boss!" Several brothers and sisters applauded and cheered, Su Yang turned around with a smile, and left the sales department with Petry.

Then the two went to the sales department, marketing department, publicity department, customer service department, season ticket and ticket operation department, entertainment department, community department, public relations department, business development department, radio and television, human resources department, finance department, Say hello and go through the motions.

The entire Kings team, excluding temporary employees such as cheerleaders, and employees of basketball-related departments, has a total of 152 people. If you include coaches, trainers, scouts, equipment departments, away trips, nutritionists, etc., the total number is close to 300+ .

"With so many people, management will be very difficult..."

Su Yang went back to the boss's office, thought about it, and decided to accept David Stern's recommendation and invite Chris Granger, the current executive vice president of the NBA, who is in charge of the ball marketing, to be the general manager of the King's commercial affairs. The general manager, Sam Hinkie, is at the same level and reports to himself on important matters. Thinking of the boss like Petri in the past, the position of president who is in charge of business and basketball affairs at the same time is no longer set up, so that the management tends to be flattened and the waste of layers of review is avoided. A lot of manpower and material resources.

Chris Granger is doing a good job. Last season, he helped many teams sell tickets better. Unfortunately, he failed in the competition with Silver. He will not be able to take over as the president of the league in the future. Transfer to the team to continue to struggle.

With Chris Granger in charge of business affairs, we can better focus on team building, and don’t have to worry about Chris Granger messing around. We can directly find someone who has worked with MT for several years as the financial director. By the way Do audits.

After making up his mind, Su Yang sent the email he had already written, formally reported it to the NBA board of directors, and sent it on Twitter simultaneously.

"At this moment, I am very honored to announce that I have officially become the owner of an NBA team. I would like to thank Mr. Leighton, the owner of the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Jerry Buss, the owner of the Lakers. I have learned a lot from you. , In the days to come, I will work with the Sacramento fans and all the staff of the Kings to work hard to build the team into one of the representatives of the NBA..."

Emails and tweets were sent out, and agents or bosses of many teams responded politely, among which Cuban had the most words and sincerity, while the Thunder, Suns, Celtics, and Heat did not respond at all. Self-explanatory.

On Twitter, Durant reposted likes and comments for the first time: "Amazing! Congratulations to the Kings players, ushering in the most ball-savvy owner in NBA history, especially those players who are difficult to reflect through data. You will not be like before. Being buried, and those capable but lacking confidence players, don’t have to worry about being discovered, deliberately grab the ball to brush up the data, you will experience the pure joy of high school basketball again, I also recommend those who are about to be drafted by the Kings rookie…”

Kobe also tweeted his congratulations, and LeBron, Westbrook, Harden, Aldridge, Gasol and others also tweeted one after another.

After Su Yang tweeted, he met with the heads of the marketing, sales and publicity departments in the office, and had an in-depth chat about the king's new season and his vision for the next few years. talent.

In the blink of an eye at [-]:[-] p.m., the scout team formed by Blatche, the trainer team formed by Phil Handy, the general manager team of basketball affairs formed by Sam Hinkie, and Snyder and McMillan who had completed their resignations , Gathered at the training base.

The human resources department took out the employment contracts prepared in advance and handled the entry in turn, and Su Yang signed and approved continuously.

Considering that he will continue to lead the team, Su Yang did not give Snyder the head coach position, but increased Snyder's annual salary to 300 million US dollars, and at the same time gave McMillan an annual salary of 150 million to ensure that McMillan would not be easily poached by other teams Walk.

All kinds of signings were completed until after [-] o'clock, and Su Yang took the whole team to the hotel booked in advance for a simple gathering to celebrate.

Chris Granger, general manager of commercial affairs, rushed to the scene to participate, held a glass of wine to congratulate, and suggested by the way: "You can buy a five-star hotel. The price in a city like Saskatchewan is relatively low, which is very helpful for the team to hold activities. It will not affect the operation of the hotel either. Since you plan to fully develop the Chinese and American tourism market, tourists who come to Saskatchewan and choose to stay at your hotel..."

"good idea…"

Su Yang is sincerely moved. Just imagine domestic aunt tourists coming to Saskatchewan, staying in their own hotels, plus one-stop shopping in shopping malls. Regardless of the huge benefits they provide, at least it will only be much better than catering to the local market in Saskatchewan. If the investment is too small, It can be done.

Anyway, when the time comes, MT will sell billions of dollars, and there will be so many stocks. It is a good idea to maintain value and increase capital for industrial development.

The celebration lasted until early in the morning. Su Yang saw off the last employee and took the car of his assistant Taylor to go to the high-rise finely decorated flat apartment that he bought before. He originally wanted to buy a country house, but Saskatchewan is not Los Angeles. Those villas The location is really a bit remote, and you have to drive for a long time to do everything. It's better to live in a rich area in the city, which is convenient for commuting and rushing to the airport.

No way, Sacramento is at the third-tier domestic level, because it is close to Los Angeles and San Francisco, and its attractiveness is too low.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Su Yang drove to the training base again, and checked the construction of the new arena and the new training base with the staff sent by the city hall of Saskatchewan. In place quickly.

Su Yang had prepared funds for the construction of the new arena before, and promised to remit money within three working days to speed up the construction as much as possible. It is best to move in before the start of the 15 season. After all, the sleep train arena is too dilapidated and will lower the Ticket price increases.

The meeting lasted throughout the morning, and during lunch break, assistant Taylor called: "Boss, the Lakers will make up for your base salary for the past two seasons, and transfer the championship bonus together, totaling more than 500 million US dollars, what do you want?" deal with?"

"Transfer to the account of MT Company." Su Yang made a decision easily, 500 million US dollars is already considered a small amount of money, it's time to sprinkle water.

After lunch, I checked the speech, and then, in the name of the team chairman, issued a resolution to reevaluate the salaries of employees in the commercial department. Then, according to the previous plan, I announced that starting from the settlement of the league on July 7, all employees will be greatly increased. The salaries and remuneration of personnel who work part-time for the Kings, including but not limited to cleaning staff, cheerleaders, security personnel, ball boys, etc.

The news of the appointment of Sam Hinkie and Chris Granger was released at the same time, and many workers crazily praised Su Yang's decision.

ESPN and other media followed up and reported that the relevant heat was actually higher than that of the champion candidate, mainly because he had never seen such a generous boss.
