I'm a big shot in basketball

The discussion was over and Sean left the office.

Chief Financial Officer Stana knocked on the door and entered, chatted a few words to greet Fina's pregnancy, and then began to make a detailed report, mentioning the entire 04-05 season, leaving aside the unstated league dividends, profits It's $3.15 million.

"If we add the league's dividends in July, our final income may reach 3.5 million US dollars..." Stana said proudly, "Even if the Knicks throw away [-] million US dollars in salary costs, plus the Lakers, we can only Draw with us."

A cutting-edge team in a small eighteenth-tier city in the United States has more profits than the two giants of Los Angeles and New York, which is too exaggerated.

Su Yang nodded in response, "Very close to expectations..."

Compared with the previous season of 73 wins and 9 losses, it is expected that the profit will drop by [-] million, because there were many first payments from sponsors before, and the average ticket price of the team has not continued to increase. As for the sales of peripheral products, after winning the championship for the second time peaked,

The goal for the next season is to maintain a profit of 3.15 million US dollars, and next season, because of the use of the new arena, San Francisco has more rich people than Oakland, the average ticket price can be further increased, and sales of snacks and drinks can also be increased.

"I will arrange for the media director Raymond to initiate an interview. When the time comes, you will be responsible for appearing on the screen, and you will promote it according to your point of view just now, highlighting that our profits are more than the Lakers and Knicks combined, emphasizing our tax amount, emphasizing our The number of jobs created, highlighting the things we do to help communities in Oakland and Alameda counties..."

In terms of social status, this has to be done. It is not enough to promote the Warriors’ House and Youtube. Traditional media such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Time Magazine are also arranged, especially Time Magazine is Warner flag.

"Okay, let me ask one more question, will we have additional investment needs, and the excess assets can be..." Stana put forward suggestions for optimizing the allocation of resources, including the hospital at the new arena at Mission Bend, and some surrounding areas. real estate.

Su Yang shook his head after hearing this, "The hospital can be done, let's talk about other things later." The main thing is that he doesn't want to do too many things in the name of the team. After all, the shares have not been fully controlled, and the investment has to be done in the name of the individual. Don't give it to everyone. Shareholders work.

Stana left the office satisfied, and Robert, the director of operations, knocked on the door and entered to report various plans for the offseason.

"The first is the annual Greater China training camp, but this time coach Bzdelik's willingness is low, because he is too old and doesn't want to travel far in the off-season, and wants to reunite with his family more, Wells The coach thinks two months is a bit long..."

Hearing Robert's words, Su Yang understood that the teaching assistants wanted to take a break, or the duration of the training camp in the Greater China region should be shorter. After all, it is rare to be able to reunite with family and friends for a long time in the off-season. Even if the salary is tripled, he doesn't want to fly. so far away.

"So, the current scale is not as good as last year."

After Robert finished speaking, he rubbed his hands awkwardly, worried that Su Yang would be unhappy. He knew that Su Yang attached great importance to the training camp activities in the Greater China region, especially since Su Yang accepted the position of head coach of the US team before, which caused some negative reactions in the Greater China region. remarks,

If the size of the training camp is reduced, the wind rating may be lower.

Su Yang sensed Robert's nervousness, and smiled slightly, completely ignoring it. He understood the thoughts of teaching assistants such as Bzdelik and Wells wanting more rest, "Then make an announcement and find those who are free and willing. non-warriors coach,

For example, coach David Joerger of our subordinate team Santa Cruz, and coach Mike Malone who just left the Knicks and is about to find a job, and even coach Larry Smith, my old acquaintance in the Rockets, Just be professional

The training camp is to promote the Warriors and me, and to popularize the basic but correct philosophy, it doesn't matter who coaches it. "

Robert swished down his pen to record, "Okay, I see."

Then he talked about the cooperation with Time Warner, "They are preparing to release "Superman Returns", and hope to cooperate with us on jerseys, seat decorations, arena exterior walls, especially the new arena exterior walls, to help them complete the project. publicity."

"Then cooperate with their promotion, but try to put it in less important competitions, it will be a bad movie, don't let the audience feel that they were deceived by my joint promotion to go to the movie, and then hate the house, resulting in reduced Even gave up supporting us..."

There is no way, knowing that it is a bad movie, I have to help Warner promote it. After all, I receive [-] million US dollars from Warner every year, and there are various potential cooperations in the future. Just Bingbing’s domestic brokerage company has signed so many artists, and I am still waiting for China and the United States. Co-production blockbuster it.

"Have you seen the finished film?"

Robert asked curiously, "I see that Time Warner has just released the finished news report, and the special effects haven't been edited yet."

Su Yang waved his hand and didn't bother to explain.

Robert would not believe that he was reborn and crossed over. Anyway, in the script of "The Return of Superman", the director had a shitty brain. He insisted on wearing a cuckold for Superman, asking Superman's son to call someone "father", and spying on his girlfriend to kiss and make out with other men. The Five Greens of the Central Plains in the supernet literary world have committed a literary youth disease, and insist on doing some religious plots of "even if the whole world betrays me, I will save mankind".

"Okay, I see."

Robert wrote down the record again, and then talked about the pre-sale of season tickets in the offseason. Because Billups is about to leave, whether the publicity will continue as usual, or wait until the transaction is completed before publicizing, so as not to lose the reputation of deceiving fans,

"My suggestion is to delay the publicity..."

Su Yang waved his hand to interrupt,

"As usual, it's not that we actively want to trade Billups. Besides, the transaction may not be successful. We need three first rounds to guarantee the bottom line, and three first rounds + two second rounds to go up. I don't know where the Nuggets are. Anthony and George Karl thought."

Talk about a few more small things, the discussion is over, Robert leaves the office, and the media director Raymond knocks on the door again and enters.

There are no big things about the media, the main thing is the maintenance of the home of the warriors website, and how to interact with YouTube.

After a busy afternoon, the work of various executives was arranged. Su Yang returned to Atherton's home and talked with Bingbing about the temporary low business volume of domestic contracted actors and singers. It is fine to let them go out and cooperate, even if they draw less money. nothing.

Early the next morning, Bingbing drove Su Yang and Beyoncé to the airport, and the two flew to New York to attend the event together.

After getting off the plane, Su Yang kissed Beyonce goodbye and drove to the NBA headquarters on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

Go upstairs and sit for a while,

Most of the owners and representatives of the players' union have not yet arrived. Su Yang took the time to look at the relevant history of NBA labor negotiations.

I suddenly discovered that before 98, the NBA had two short lockouts. In 95, it lasted for two months, and in 96, it lasted for two hours. sacrifice.

It is so ugly, mainly because the clauses are not enough, and the clauses are very confusing. For example, although the salary cap existed in 83, there is no concept of the maximum salary of the parent team, which leads to the bug that the Bird clause can be used to renew the contract without a limit. money,

It also appeared that the salary cap in 96 was only 2436 million, but Jordan's farce of 3014 million US dollars a year, and rookie Garnett's 6-year 1.26 million US dollar contract, which resulted in the inability of some teams to pay the salary of the maximum salary players, which indirectly led to 98. After the super lockout, the concept of the parent team's maximum salary was developed, that is, the salary ratio + increase increases year by year, and the contract cannot be directly super large.

It's a pity that you can't directly super-large the contract, which is not in the interests of all players, and you have to renegotiate after doing it.

During observation, Stern asked with a smile: "You have waited patiently for such a long time, now can you reveal how to propose?"

Su Yang chuckled, thinking that this was more settled than me, "I'm going to propose the Chamberlain clause and a two-way contract..."

A little explanation between words,

Stern thought for a while after listening to En, and gradually smiled, "You can always come up with new tricks, you are really a genius."
