NBA backer king

Chapter 342 New Season Lineup

"Forget it, Liu Chu, take this money back. I will sponsor the men's and women's basketball teams every year. The sponsorship methods are medicated oil and medicinal bath." Wang Tiejun pushed the money back to Liu Yumin, shaking his head and sighing.

"To tell you the truth, we don't produce a single nail or grain of grain in our sports business. The country allocates so much money to us every year, which is already very good."

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

"Liu Chu, don't be too polite, I'm really helping, you can take it back." Old Wang pushed it back again.

"What's the point of that?"

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

She also has no choice, who would want to be so ashamed in front of a young man with money?
There is no money on the board, the CBA has not yet opened, and there is no other source of income in the office. Every penny in her hand has to be broken into two halves.

……

On October [-], before dawn, Wang Tiejun got up, drove to Tiananmen Square alone, and watched the flag-raising ceremony.

At nine o'clock, he drove away from the capital with his parents. This time he planned to return to his hometown. He was about to return to the United States and planned to stay in his hometown for a while.

As soon as they returned home, their home immediately became a bustling city. People in the village, neighbors, and relatives who were previously out of reach all had their thresholds lowered.

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

In the capital, Yu Feihong's Feige film and television company has hired a manager named Zhou Qing. She 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 chief sales officer at Beijing Film Studio.

On October [-]th, Wang Tiejun's K Pharmaceutical Company opened for business.

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

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

In the future, all medicines in the United States will be purchased from domestic companies.But for the time being, it won't work within two months. After the medicinal materials come in, it will take time to brew.

On the [-]th, he rushed back to the capital and got the planning map of the National Academy of Architecture.

Anyway, it looked good, and he didn't understand this stuff. The expert team formed by Bai Changsheng passed, so 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 has to go back to the United States.

……

On October [-]th, Wang Tiejun and Yu Feihong set off and flew to the United States. A new season was about to begin.

Along with the two, besides Liu Changfeng and his wife, Ma Jian, the Clippers and the Suns also gave him a chance to play in the preseason.

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

Lao Wang still did not change Ma Jian's NBA career. In order to enhance his confrontation ability, Ma Jian gained weight and said that his movement speed was not as good as before. However, his height is only 202 cm, which can only be nonsensical.

Playing power forward, as an inside line, the height is too disadvantageous.

Playing small forward, he has no ball-handling skills, and his mid-range shots are also unstable.

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

After all, Ma Jian can be regarded as his senior in the provincial team. He has already discussed this issue with Liu Yumin. Liu Yumin promised to give him a chance. The first season of the CBA will not start until December. Now some teams are not full, and there is still a chance to join a team. Unfortunately, Ma Jian is not reconciled.

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

Ben Wallace caught up with the Suns in two summer league games, one at the [-]th position and one at the [-]th position. His performance was better than that of the green team as a guard.

However, the summer league was not worth much money, and Colangelo Jr. wanted to continue watching, and gave him a contract to represent the Suns in the preseason.

On the afternoon of the [-]th, the five arrived in Los Angeles.

Yu Feihong stayed here to continue his studies, and at the same time he 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 gym in Phoenix is ​​currently hosted by Wang Tieshu, who drove to the airport to pick up Wang Tiejun and others.

"Brother Tieshu, how's business going these few months?" Wang Tiejun asked on the way.

"Tie Jun, those Hollywood stars have transferred their VIP information to the Los Angeles branch, and now we have only 235 VIP customers left here, and some of them can't move." Wang Tieshu said with some frustration.

Lao Wang laughed and said: "The stars are in Los Angeles, and they opened a branch there, and they will definitely transfer, as long as you can maintain the business here.

Phoenix is ​​still a little smaller, people who can't earn millions of dollars a year don't have the financial strength to spend in our martial arts gym.But you can develop to surrounding cities, and you can more or less develop some customers. "

Wang Tieshu nodded and said: "The Changjiang side and Tielong brother's side are fine. The Yangtze River side has more than [-] VIP customers, and the Tielong brother's side is almost [-]."

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

Lao Wang counted with his fingers, 4800 VIP customers, the annual membership fee is 400 million US dollars, he has a total of 2000 people here now, basically can guarantee one-to-one service, but there is still a shortage of manpower, [-] VIP customers, he needs [-] people to turn around, and he has to continue to transfer people.

2000 people, with a salary of 1.2 U.S. dollars a year, is [-] million U.S. dollars?
"I X!"

At this point, he was taken aback, he had to pay so much salary a year?Have to pay a Fengshen Street Sports Center to go out a year?

Didn't the calculation last time be tens of millions of dollars? Why is there so much more in the calculation this time?
"Calculate again!"

He became anxious, there were too many, and there was no Jinshan at home, no, there was a deep hole in Fengshen Street at home, and it couldn't be held back!

"By the way, it seems that apart from the membership fee, the VIP fee income has not been counted."

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

"It's hard to calculate. Some have joined the club for several months, and some have just joined the club." Wang Tieshu said.

Lao Wang thought, forget it, the number here is indeed inaccurate, because the previous consumption of more than 100 Hollywood stars was counted here, and now they have moved to Los Angeles, and the previous consumption has not been transferred.

But thinking about it, he shouldn't be losing money, because the last time he went back, he also drew 2000 million US dollars, so he should be able to make a profit.

"Tie Jun, you want money, and there are still more than 2000 million in the account, you can go through the formalities yourself. The accounts on both sides of the branch library are not in the main library, you know." Wang Tieshu said.

Old Wang breathed a sigh of relief, there is still money left, which means that there is no loss.

He thinks that a statistics should be made to estimate the income of each VIP customer in the martial arts gym.

Now there are [-] customers, if each person spends [-] US dollars per year, that is... [-] million.

This should be achievable. After all, the membership fee is [-] a year. If you don’t spend [-] dollars a year, you can’t live up to the [-] membership fee.

In this way, it is almost the same, and there is still money to be made.

"By the way, Tie Jun, the fight you want to engage in has already been selected. Brother Tie Long is in charge, 30 people, and more than a dozen trainers for fighting and mixed martial arts have been invited. Now they are training with us." Wang Tieshu said.

"If they can practice well, let them go to kickboxing hall every day in the future, whether it's a taekwondo gym or a karate gym, kick them all." Old Wang laughed.

"Haha..." The others laughed.

When we arrived at the martial arts gym, there were 300 people taking martial arts classes. Martial arts classes are the best-selling in Phoenix, because the two branches in Los Angeles and New York did not develop martial arts classes at all, which also shows that martial arts classes have potential for promotion.

Dozens of brothers picked out to practice fighting were doing various training in a corner, and he walked over.

"Brother, you are back."

"Brother Iron Army."

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

He nodded and asked about their situation. The selected people were all around 20 years old. The tallest one was about 1.8 meters five, and the shortest was about 1.7 meters.

"Tie Jun, here are their physical test data, please take a look." At this time, Wang Tieshu brought a folder.

He took it and flipped it over, and found that it was indeed not bad. It was selected from hundreds of people who practiced martial arts since childhood, and it was not bad.

"Brothers, you have to practice hard and don't be afraid of suffering. In the future, whether our K martial arts school can stand firm in the United States, whether it can develop to the world, and whether it can stop those opponents who want to kick the gymnasium depends on you." He said to them.

"Brother Tie Jun, don't worry, we will definitely practice to death."

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

Thirty boys immediately roared.

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

Nodding his head, Old Wang looked at the dozen or so trainers again, and asked Wang Tieshu, "Brother, do they have a leader?"

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

Nodding, 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 rewards. If you bring out a world-class fighting champion, I will reward you with 100 million U.S. dollars."

"Oh my God, $100 million?"

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

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

Old K's name in the fighting world is also resounding. This is the influence of being out of the circle, coupled with the stimulation of high rewards, the dozen or so people immediately roared excitedly.

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

In the first UFC fighting competition held in 93, the total prize money was only 50 US dollars. First-class and top-notch coaches and trainers like them did not make much money.

Now old K has given out 100 million US dollars for a world fighting champion, which is more than double the total prize money of the UFC competition. There are also tens of thousands of dollars distributed to each of them.
"Brother, you are going to build a special fighting base. The place here is a bit small, and it is not suitable to be crowded with martial arts students. The training environment here is also a bit simpler. How to arrange and what equipment you need, you can ask these trainers. They are more professional." Wang Tiejun said.

"Okay, I'll arrange it 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 have explained that the annual salary of Fighting Hall is one hundred thousand dollars, and there are many brothers rushing to sign up. These are all picked out."

"That's good." Lao Wang nodded, he was worried that these people would lose their vitality after working as masseurs for a few days.

From now on, only 30 people will be selected, and in the future, it will definitely develop on a large scale. Even with the influence of K martial arts, it is fine to start a fighting competition brand by itself.

Then he called to inform Wang Tielong and Liu Changjiang to go back to Phoenix to attend a meeting at the K martial arts gym. He planned to reorganize the martial arts gym according to his original idea.

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

Before leaving, Danny Ainge, who led the team, said to him: "Old K, your main competitor this time is Ben Wallace. You introduced both of them. The team will keep one and see which one of them performs better."

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

After seeing off Danny Ji and the others, he and Colangelo Jr. went to the general manager's office. Colangelo Jr. took out a list of players and said to him, "Old K, this is our current lineup for the new season. Take a look first."

He nodded, took it over and looked at it.

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

Forwards: Wilkins, Robert Horry, Mario Bennett
Outside: Kevin Johnson, Perry, Michael Finley, Person, Tony Smith

Colangelo Jr. introduced: "These are twelve contract players. Wilkins, David Wood, Joe Klein, and Tony Smith all have basic salary contracts. Except for Wilkins, who has a three-year contract, the other three have short one-year contracts. Two of them have non-guaranteed contracts and can be cut at any time.

The combined salary of the four of them for the new season is 155 million US dollars, and the current total salary of the 12 is 1706 million. That is to say, we still have room for nearly 600 million US dollars.

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

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

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

Wang Tiejun didn't say anything. After three seasons in this league, he already 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 building. He also needs to be patient and give the management time.

And next year, if luck is good, four first-round picks can pick a potential rookie, or even lucky enough to pick two, the team's reconstruction will be completed.

Colangelo Jr. continued: "I have repeatedly discussed this lineup list with Coach Westphal. The preliminary decision is that besides you, the other four players in the main lineup are power forward Robert Horry, small forward Wilkins, shooting guard Michael Finley, and point guard Kevin Johnson.

Michael Finley is going to get some opportunities and we hope to develop him.Robert Horry still has a two-year contract, and the last year is a team option. I want to give him another chance to see if he can perform like a major player.If not, either trade or return to the bench.

In addition, we are going to choose one of Ben Wallace and Ma Jian as an inside substitute to replace a marginal man in this 12-man list. "

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

"It will arrive in a few days."

Speaking of Lightning, Colangelo Jr. was obviously very happy, and said with a smile: "Kevin actually practiced again this offseason, which I didn't expect. Obviously he really wants to play well for another two years. In fact, I also think he has this potential."

Lao Wang said with a smile: "If he can maintain the state of last season, it will be good news for us."

Speaking of which, he raised the roster in his hand and said: "The current main lineup has a decent scoring ability, but the outside efficiency should not be as good as when the glider was there."

Colangelo Jr. nodded and said: "Wilkins' efficiency is indeed not as good as Drexler's. And he replaces the glider, and the team's tactical adaptability is also reduced. The ability to stretch is insufficient, and you will be double-teamed more in the low post.

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

"Bryan, our substitute lineup isn't very good either." Lao Wang shook his head.

"I hope that the next transaction can strengthen the depth of the board. We still have room and hope to sign a few short-term contracts." Colangelo Jr. said awkwardly.

He also has no choice but to give a promising player a long-term contract. How will he give the contract after being selected as a rookie 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 period of 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, he traded Green and Dan Marley desperately. It can be said that his style is more radical. In order to rebuild, he sacrificed last season's lineup without hesitation.

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

This season, Old K + Wilkins + Lightning, he believes that the lineup is still good, and with the old K's leadership strength, he should still 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.

At present, although it has not been announced yet, it has been confirmed that the first one to be introduced will be the five-second violation rule for the back. "
