NBA Backer King Chapter 342

  Chapter 342 The new season lineup

"Forget it, Chu Liu, you can take the money back. I will sponsor the men's and women's basketball teams every year in the form of medicated oil and medicated baths." Wang Tiejun pushed the money back to Liu Yumin, shaking his head and sighing. road.

   "To be honest, we engage in sports, and we don't produce a single nail or a grain of grain. The state allocates so much money to us every year, which is already very good."

   Liu Yumin pushed the money back again and said, "You take this 50,000 yuan, which is originally the cost price. I know your price in the United States, can you still get it for nothing?"

   "Liu Chu, you're welcome, I'm a real sponsor, you can take it back." Old Wang pushed back again.

   "Then why are you embarrassed?"

  I was polite twice, but this time Liu Yumin was not polite and really took it back.

   She can't do anything either. Who wants to be so humiliated in front of a young man with money?

There is no money on it, CBA has not yet opened, and there is no other source of income in the office. The penny in her hand has to be split in half. The 50,000 yuan is also misappropriated for other purposes, otherwise it will not be available at all. .

  On October 1st, before dawn, Wang Tiejun got up, drove to Tiananmen Square by himself, and watched the flag raising ceremony.

   At nine o'clock, he took his parents and drove out of the capital. This time, he was going to go back to his hometown. He was about to return to the United States, and he was going to stay in his hometown for a while.

   As soon as they returned home, the family immediately became a bustling city. The threshold of the village, the neighbors, and the relatives who were previously unable to reach the eight poles were lowered.

  Every time I go back to my hometown, at the beginning, Wang Aiguo and Liu Damei also enjoy this kind of life. Everyone compliments them, but they can't last for a few days each time.

  The capital, Yu Feihong's Feige Film and Television Company, has hired a manager named Zhou Qing. She herself is about to go to the United States, and Zhou Qing will help her manage the company.

  This person is also from Nortel. He is in his forties. He used to be the sales chief of the North Film Studio.

  On October 5th, Wang Tiejun's K pharmaceutical company was officially opened.

  The company's pharmaceutical factory has a scale of 100 people and a dozen salesmen who are responsible for purchasing medicinal materials from all over the country.

   As for the establishment of Chinese herbal medicine bases, it will also be launched one after another.

After   , all medicines in the United States were purchased from domestic companies. However, it will not work within two months for the time being, and it will take time to brew the medicinal materials after they come in.

On the 6th day, he rushed back to the capital and got the plan of the National Academy of Architecture.

   It looked good anyway, and he didn't understand it either. The expert team formed by Bai Changsheng passed, and he passed.

   Next, Bai Changsheng will preside over the bidding for the basketball hall and hotel. He has no time, the new season is coming, and he is going back to the United States.

  October 8th, Wang Tiejun and Yu Feihong set off for the United States, a new season is about to start.

   In addition to Liu Changfeng and his wife, Ma Jian, the Clippers and the Suns gave him a chance to play in the preseason at the same time.

  Wang Tiejun did not interfere with his choice, and he finally chose to represent the Suns in the preseason.

  Pharaoh still hasn't changed Ma Jian's NBA career. In order to enhance his confrontation ability, Ma Jian has put on weight and said that his movement speed is not as good as before, but his height is only 202 cm. This height can only be mixed.

   Playing as a power forward, as an insider, his height is too disadvantageous.

   Playing as a small forward, he has no ball-handling skills, and his mid-range shooting is also inconsistent.

   Anyway, he is not optimistic about Ma Jian and thinks it is better to stay in China and play the CBA.

After all, Ma Jian is also a senior of his provincial team. He has already talked to Liu Yumin about this issue. Liu Yumin promised to give him a chance. The first season of the CBA will not start until December, and some teams are not yet full. , There is still a chance to join a team, but unfortunately Ma Jian is not reconciled.

   At this time, the NBA preseason is about to start.

Ben Wallace caught up with the Suns in two summer league games, one at the 5th position and one at the 4th position. He performed better than playing guard in the green team. Defense, except for secondary offense, hardly participates in offense.

   However, the summer league has no gold content, and Colangelo Jr. wanted to continue to see it, and gave him a contract to represent the Suns in the preseason.

   On the afternoon of the 8th, the five arrived in Los Angeles.

  Yu Feihong will stay here to continue his studies, and at the same time will represent K Wuguan and Cheng Long to establish their martial arts brokerage company, while Wang Tiejun and others will fly to Phoenix.

  The K martial arts hall in Phoenix is ​​now hosted by Wang Tieshu, who drove to the airport to pick up Wang Tiejun and others.

   "Brother Tie Shu, how has business been in the past few months?" Wang Tiejun asked on the way.

   "Tie Jun, those Hollywood stars have all transferred their VIP information to the Los Angeles branch. Now there are only 235 VIP customers left here, and some of them can't increase." Wang Tieshu said with a bit of frustration.

   Lao Wang laughed and said: "The stars are in Los Angeles, and there is a branch there, and they will definitely be transferred. You just need to maintain the business here.

  Phoenix is ​​still a little small. People who can't make millions of dollars a year have no financial strength to spend in our martial arts gym. But you can develop to the surrounding cities, more or less can develop some customers. "

  Wang Tieshu nodded and said: "The Yangtze River and Tielong brother's side are just fine. The Yangtze River side has more than 800 VIP customers, and Tielong brother's side is about to break 600."

   "Eight hundred plus six hundred plus two hundred, one thousand... one thousand sixteen?"

Pharaoh counted with his fingers, 1,600 VIP customers, the annual membership fee is 48 million US dollars, and he now has a total of 1,400 people here, and can basically guarantee one-to-one service. But the manpower is still insufficient. With 1,600 VIP customers, he needs 2,000 talents to turn around, and he has to continue to transfer people.

  2,000 people, $60,000 a year, is $120 million?

   "I X!"

   After all, he was startled, he had to pay so much salary a year? Do you have to pay for a Fengshen Street Sports Center a year?

   Wasn't it tens of millions of dollars last time? Why is there so much more in this calculation?

   "Recalculate and recalculate!"

   He became anxious, there were too many, and there was no Jinshan at home, no, there was a deep pit in Fengshen Street at home, and he couldn't bear it!

   "By the way, it seems that in addition to the membership fee, the VIP fee income is not counted."

   Thinking of this, he quickly asked: "Brother Tieshu, how many VIP service charges are there in Phoenix now? Give me the number per person."

   "This is not easy to calculate, some have been in the club for a few months, and some have just joined the club." Wang Tieshu said.

  Pharaoh thought about it, forget it, the number here is really not accurate, because the previous consumption of more than 100 Hollywood stars is counted here, and now they have transferred to Los Angeles, and the previous consumption has not been transferred.

   But thinking about it, it shouldn't be a loss, because the last time he went back, he also drew 20 million US dollars, so he should be able to make a profit.

   "Tie Jun, you want money, there are still more than 20 million in the account, you can go through the formalities yourself. The accounts on both sides of the branch are not in the main library, you know." Wang Tieshu said.

   Old Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and there was still money left, which meant that there was no loss.

   He felt that a statistic was needed to estimate the income of each VIP customer's consumption in the martial arts hall.

   Now there are 1,600 customers, and if each person spends 100,000 dollars a year, that is... 160 million.

   This should be achievable. After all, the membership fee is 30,000 a year. If you don't spend 100,000 US dollars a year, you can't stand the 30,000 membership fee.

   After doing this, it's almost the same, and there's still money to be made.

"By the way, Tie Jun, the fighting you want to engage in has already been selected. Brother Tie Long is in charge. Thirty people, and more than ten trainers of fighting and mixed martial arts have also been hired. Now they are training on our side." Wang Tieshu said.

   "If they can practice it, they will be allowed to go to the kick gym every day in the future, whether it's a taekwondo gym or a karate gym, all of them will be kicked." Pharaoh laughed.

   "Haha..." Several others laughed.

When we arrived at the martial arts hall, there were still two or three hundred people taking martial arts classes. Martial arts classes are the best sellers in Phoenix, because the two branches in Los Angeles and New York have not developed martial arts classes at all. This also shows that martial arts classes are being promoted. potential.

   Dozens of brothers who were selected to practice fighting were doing various trainings in a corner, and he walked over.

   "Brother, you're back."

   "Brother Iron Army."

   A group of young people greeted him quickly after seeing him.

He nodded and asked about their situation again. The selected people were all in their twenties. The tallest one was about 1.85 meters and the shortest was about 1.7 meters. They all practiced martial arts since childhood. much longer than him.

   "Tiejun, this is their physical test data, you can take a look." At this time, Wang Tieshu brought a folder.

   He took it over and looked it up, and it was really good. He picked it out from hundreds of people who had practiced martial arts since childhood, and they were all good.

"Brothers, you have to practice hard and don't be afraid to endure hardships. In the future, whether our K martial arts hall can stand up in the United States, whether it can develop to the world, and whether it can block those opponents who want to play in the gym is up to you. ' he told them.

   "Brother Tiejun, don't worry, we will definitely practice to the death."

   "Brother, I didn't say, whoever wants to kick our pavilion, we will kill him."

   Thirty boys immediately roared.

   They are all from Cangzhou, and many of them have a martial arts hall at home. They understand very well that if the K martial arts hall collapses, they have to go back to their hometown in despair.

   nodded, Pharaoh looked at the dozen or so trainers again and asked Wang Tieshu, "Brother, do they have a leader?"

   "No, they were dug up by Brother Tielong one by one. I heard that they are the best in the industry." Wang Tieshu said.

Nodding his head, Wang Tiejun said to the dozen or so trainers, "Everyone, show your true skills. If the people you teach achieve results, I will reward them. The better the results, the higher the reward. Come out a world-class fighting competition champion, I will give a million dollars as a reward."

   "Oh my god, a million dollars?"

   "Old K, don't worry, we will never hide."

   "Old K, they are all talented, no problem."

  Old K's name is in the fighting world, and it is also loud. This is the influence of being out of the circle, plus the stimulation of high rewards, the dozen people immediately roared excitedly.

   Now in the fighting world in the United States, boxing is not counted, other projects are still in the early stages of development, and there is no money to make at all.

  The first UFC fighting competition held in 1993, the total prize money was only half a million dollars, and the first-class and top-level coaches and trainers like them did not make much money.

Now the old K has put out a million dollars for a world fighting champion, which has more than doubled the total prize money of the UFC competition, and there are tens of thousands of dollars allocated to each of them. This is a huge reward, so all Very excited and excited, now they can't wait to train all these thirty people into fighting champions, how much bonus can they get?

"Brother, you are going to build another special fighting base. The place is a little small, and it is not suitable to be crowded with martial arts students. The training environment here is also a little simpler. How to arrange it and what equipment do you need? Ask these trainers. , they are more professional." Wang Tiejun said.

   "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." Wang Tieshu said.

  Wang Tiejun pulled Wang Tieshu aside and asked in a low voice, "Brother, did you pick out the thirty of them, or did you sign up yourself?"

  Wang Tieshu said with a smile: "After the notification, you explained that the annual salary of the fighting hall is 100,000 US dollars, and there are many brothers who are rushing to sign up. These are all picked out."

   "That's good." Old Wang nodded, he was worried that these people would lose their vitality after doing massage for a few days.

   We will only pick 30 people from now on, and it will definitely develop on a large scale in the future. Even with the influence of K Martial Arts Academy, you can create a fighting event brand yourself.

   Then he called and informed Wang Tielong and Liu Changjiang to return to Phoenix to attend a meeting in the K martial arts hall. He planned to reorganize the martial arts hall according to the original idea.

   The next day, Pharaoh sent Ma Jian to the headquarters, and then a group of players who participated in the preseason flew to Salt Lake City to play the preseason there.

Before leaving, Danny Ainge, who led the team, said to him: "Old K, this time your fellow countryman's main competitor is Ben Wallace. You introduced both of them. The team will keep one and watch them. Who is doing better."

   Lao Wang smiled and said, "Then I don't care. The management can sign whoever they want. I'm just giving them a chance."

After sending Danigi away, he and Colangelo Jr. went to the general manager's office together. Colangelo Jr. took out a list of players and said, "Old K, this is what we have in the new season. Let's take a look first."

   He nodded, took it over and looked at it.

   Inside: Wang Tiejun, Tisdale, Joe Klein, David Wood

   Strikers: Wilkins, Robert Horry, Mario Bennett

   Outside: Kevin Johnson, Perry, Michael Finley, Person, Tony Smith

Little Colangelo introduced: "These are twelve contract players, Wilkins, David Wood, Joe Klein, and Tony Smith are all minimum salary contracts, except for Wilkins, who has a three-year contract, the other three Both are short one-year contracts, and two of them are on non-guaranteed contracts and can be fired at any time.

   The combined salary of the four of them in the new season is 1.55 million US dollars, and the current total salary of the twelve people is 17.06 million US dollars, that is to say, we still have room for nearly 6 million US dollars.

   It's just that we don't have a good opportunity to trade right now. Our salary space needs to be reserved for a few rookies next year. We can't trade players who still have several years of contracts. We can only choose to trade players with a contract year. But there are not many such players, and even fewer are suitable for us. A lot of teams are also reluctant to trade with us, they don't want to see us reinforce.

  In terms of the free market, the biggest fish has come in, and a few good ones are unwilling to come. The reason, as I said just now, because we have to keep the salary space, we can only give them a one-year short-term contract, not a long-term contract, so they are not willing to come.

   But don't worry, old K, we will try our best to trade before the closing of the trading window in the next time, and try to sign one or two short contracts to fill up the space. "

Wang Tiejun didn't say anything. After staying in this league for three seasons, he has understood a lot of things. If the team wants to trade, it also needs opportunities. Just like the Bulls' lineup, it was finally formed after years of slow construction. Come to him. It also requires patience and time for management.

   And if you are lucky next year, the four first-round picks can pick one potential rookie, or even pick two with great luck, and the team's rebuilding is complete.

Colangelo Jr. added: "I have discussed this lineup with Coach Westphal repeatedly. The preliminary decision is that in addition to you, the other four are power forward Robert Horry and small forward Wilkin. Thomas, shooting guard Michael Finley, and point guard Kevin Johnson.

  Michael Finley will get some opportunities and we hope to nurture him. Robert Horry has two years left on his contract, the last year is a team option, and I want to give him another chance to see if he can play the main player. If not, either trade or go back to the bench.

   In addition, we are going to choose one of Ben Wallace and Ma Jian to be an inside backup to replace a fringe in this 12-man roster. "

   Old Wang looked at the list repeatedly and suddenly asked, "Brian, is Kevin back?"

   "It will arrive in a few days."

Talking about the Lightning, Colangelo Jr. was obviously very happy and said with a smile: "Kevin actually did extra training this offseason, which is something I didn't expect. Obviously, he really wants to play two more years of good football. I also think he has that potential."

  Pharaoh laughed: "If he can maintain the state of last season, it will be good news for us."

   Having said that, he raised the list in Yang's hand and said, "The current main lineup has decent scoring ability, but the outside efficiency should not be as good as when the glider was there."

Little Colangelo nodded and said: "Wilkins is indeed not as efficient as Drexler. Moreover, he replaced the glider, the team's tactical adaptability has also been reduced, and the ability to pull off is insufficient. You will suffer in the low post. More double-teams.

Rookie Finley, his development is hard to say, and his weaknesses are also obvious. If we want to win the championship, the Bulls should be a must pass in the past few years. Faced with height and Pippen, he must have a strong ability to hold the ball on the outside. and singles ability, but this is precisely his weakness. "

   "Brian, our bench lineup is not good." Pharaoh shook his head.

   "I hope the next transaction can strengthen the board's depth, we still have room, and hope to sign a few short-term contracts." Little Colangelo said awkwardly.

   He also has no choice. Give the promising players a long-term contract. How will you give the contract after the rookie is selected next year? Potential rookies must be given a very long rookie contract, at least four or five years, so that they can be used for a longer time, otherwise they have just been cultivated and the salary space cannot accommodate them, and they will definitely fly.

   Unlike his father, his style is a bit risky. For next year's draft pick, he desperately traded Green and Dan Marley. It can be said that his style is more aggressive. In order to rebuild, he did not hesitate to sacrifice last season's lineup.

   Once the goal is achieved and the rebuilding is completed next year, the lineup can be stabilized, at least during the period of the old K's contract, there is no need for major changes.

   This season, Old K + Wilkins + Lightning, he believes that the lineup is still ok, and with the strength of Old K leading the team, it should be able to maintain the competitiveness of the championship.

  Wang Tiejun suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked: "Bryan, isn't the alliance going to issue rules to restrict me, any news?"

   Little Colangelo said: "Oh, of course we have been paying attention to this issue, and my father has also communicated with Mr. Stern.

  For now, although it has not been announced yet, it has been confirmed that the first one will be the five-second violation rule on the back. "
