Chapter 1205 The New Boss Assumes Three Fires (Part [-])
"I'm used to Sterling's free-range management model before, but now I'm in a state where Ballmer does everything by himself. I'm not used to it~"

"After all, Ballmer has not been in the team for a long time, so I still have to catch some things in person. After a while, after the freshness comes down, there may not be so many things~"

The executives of the Clippers who were waiting for Ballmer to show up for the meeting began to discuss in a low voice in the conference room.

After all, they are not very familiar with Ballmer, so it is more convenient to discuss some things in private.

"But just now Ballmer said that he wants to set aside an office here, which means that he will participate in our daily work at the base for a long time~!!"

"This may be the difference between a successful entrepreneur like Ballmer and a landowner like Sterling~"

The executives continued to discuss.

Soon, Ballmer came to the meeting room. It was Ballmer's first official meeting after taking office as the owner of the Clippers.

"In order to allow the Clippers to have a better development prospect and direction, I will make adjustments to some key positions in the management team~"

Ballmer said a lot at the meeting, but this sentence may be the most important, and the message conveyed is also the most critical.

"Okay, let's all go to our own business~, I still need to continue to get familiar with this place, just leave the general manager alone with me~, you all go back to your respective jobs~"

Ballmer continued.

After hearing this, everyone left the meeting room one after another.

"What's going on with Bruce~?!"

Ballmer put his arms on the table, crossed his hands, and turned his head to ask the general manager.

"He is currently participating in the Asian Championships with the Chinese team, and at the latest, he will be back at the end of the month~!!"

The general manager answered truthfully.

"At the end of the month~, hey~, I see that the coaches of other teams have already started discussing with the coaching staff about the training camp. It's good for us, the head coach is not in the United States~, haha~"

Deng Huade shook his head and sighed.

"Brue should be back soon~"

The general manager responded immediately.

"I also had a certain understanding before that the last year of his contract is a team option, so it is still unknown whether he will stay next season, so let's not discuss him for now, let's talk about you ~, after all, in a In the team's management, the general manager will always occupy a pivotal position~"

Ballmer said.

"Does Mr. Ballmer want me to make a summary of the upcoming season~!?"

The general manager tried to ask.

"It's not a summary of the season, but a summary of yourself~ After all, Sterling never cared about the big and small things of the team before, so many decisions of the team are made by you. To a certain extent , you were the former owner of the Clippers, can I understand that~?!"

Ballmer said.

"Haha~, Mr. Ballmer, you are too proud. Our management team will always be united. There is no one person, so any honor we have won is not personal. Apart from me, there is also the team. The president, as well as some senior executives in the basketball affairs department, they are all outstanding, and they have done a wonderful job performance, so that our Clippers can now get back on track~!!"

The general manager explained.

"And I believe that with the addition of Mr. Ballmer and the continuous growth of our young players, we have the opportunity to move towards a more ambitious goal. There is a real opportunity~!"

The general manager continued.

"Of course, if it's still a big team like a few years ago, how could I spend 20 billion to buy it? That's 2 million, and I can buy 4 Milwaukee Bucks~!!" ( The previous sale price of the Bucks was 5 million US dollars).

Ballmer responded.

"Haha~, yes~, yes~!!"

When the general manager heard this, he immediately nodded and said.

"Then from your point of view as a general manager, it is to reflect on this matter. You cried so much. What is the reason for the chaotic situation of the Clippers in the previous seasons? Now that the clouds and mists have been cleared to see the light, what is the reason~ ?!"

Ballmer continued to ask.

"Any NBA team has a boom period and a trough period. Maybe the Clippers' trough period is a bit long~, but I believe that the Clippers have passed the trough period now. We have chosen a lot of outstanding players. young talents, we are advancing on the right path~!!"

The general manager said in a hopeful state.

"Hearing what you said, I have already imagined how you and Sterling reported to work before~"

Ballmer said in a low tone.

"Ha~, haha~"

When the general manager heard about it, he became uneasy about something. He just looked at Ballmer foolishly and smiled awkwardly.

"Don't have other ideas. I'm not criticizing you for not doing your job well. You are a very professional general manager who can make some wonderful operations. You also have a keen sense of market changes, and because you are in the Clippers The team has worked for many years, so you are very familiar with the team up and down, this is your advantage, and it is an advantage that other people do not have ~!!"

Ballmer continued talking and talking.

The general manager just listened to Lan Shengli and didn't reply, because he always felt that Ballmer still had something to say.

"But~"

Sure enough, Ballmer turned around.

"But I think the Clippers need a more creative, independent-thinking and aggressive player in order to take the team further and to keep the team in a competitive environment. The general manager of the posture ~!!"

Ballmer responded.

Hearing what Ballmer said, the general manager lowered his head.

Although Ballmer didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was already obvious.

"It seems that my days in the Clippers are about to enter the countdown~, haha~!!"

The general manager raised his head and spoke calmly.

"I said before that in order to allow the Clippers to have a better development prospect and direction, some key positions in the management team should be adjusted~ It turned out to be for me~, haha~"

The general manager continued to shake his head and lament.

"No, it's not exactly~"

Ballmer responded.

"You are like a family man, a good man who can go to the hall and go to the kitchen, but what I want is the kind of wild and ambitious man. You are all very good and have distinctive characteristics, but at this stage , I want to change~!!!, so sorry~, I will terminate your contract early and lay you off~!!"

The three fires of the new boss's appointment fell on the hard-working general manager.
