Chapter 609 Alliance executives need to be cleaned
"I'm back."
"son……"
Smiling Wang Aiguo and Erya appeared at the door, with Erya holding a baby in her arms.
"Dad, mom, second sister. Haha, come on, call me uncle every day."
Lao Wang quickly strode over and saw the little guy in his second sister's arms. He was born at the end of February, just early March, and less than a hundred days old. He was looking at him with big eyes. He quickly stretched out his fingers and poked him gently.
I poked the little guy in the face, but I didn't expect that the force was too strong, and the little guy started crying.
"Nothing light or heavy."
Erya slapped Lao Wang's hand angrily.
Sister Liu smiled and said, "It's just a good time to come back. In a few days, it will be a hundred days every day and every year."
"That's because I came back on a specially chosen day." Lao Wang said quickly.
Erya rolled her eyes at Lao Wang and said, "I thought you were suspended, but it turns out you came back to eat your nephews' 100-day wine!"
"Same thing...come on, second sister, let me give you a hug."
"Forget it, don't fall."
Lao Wang laughed aloud, put Zhou Zhou down, and reached out to hug the little guy. Erya didn't dare to let him hug him, so he quickly dodged away.
"Where's the eldest sister?"
Lao Wang took a look and saw that there was no movement in the room.
"Your eldest sister is not free. She said she was coming back the day after tomorrow. She hasn't been here every year and her grandparents have taken her with her." Sister Liu said.
Several people entered the house together, and Lao Wang asked: "Eldest sister has gone to work?"
"I'm busy. I only had two months of rest at home before going to work. We don't know where they work. The work unit can't find out, and they won't tell them either," Liu Damei said with some complaint.
"Mom, please stop asking around. My eldest sister and brother-in-law's workplace is kept secret. It's not like you don't know. If you are asking outside, be careful of getting caught." Lao Wang warned.
"Ah?" Sister Liu was startled.
"Bang bang bang..."
Not long after, Dabao came back with his schoolbag on his back. He was sweating profusely and running as fast as if he were stepping on hot wheels. He was also dribbling a basketball in his hand, and his dribbling movements were very skillful.
"Hey, Dabao, you went home right after school today? You're so good!" Sister Liu said in surprise.
"Grandma, where is my dad?" the jumping Dabao said happily.
"Here it is." Lao Wang appeared at the door.
Seeing the old queen, Big BMW shouted: "Dad, you have been suspended? My second aunt said that the NBA does not want you to win the championship, right? Don't worry, when I grow up, I will help you avenge and win ten
A championship comes back and makes them mad."
"You know how to brag, but if you don't go to the United States, the domestic basketball level is not as good as there, and you will even fail to get selected in the NBA draft. How can you win a championship?" Lao Wang said.
"I'm not going now, I'll go later. Dad, what do you think of my dribbling skills? Let me tell you, now I have beaten all the invincible opponents in Fengshen Street, and all the kids under ten years old will be defeated by me.
I want to challenge a twelve-year-old in half a year, haha..."
"I can dribble well and run fast. It seems that I have inherited a little bit of my talent." Lao Wang nodded proudly, feeling a little relieved!
"Let's go, Dad, follow me to the golf course. I've made an appointment with a group of twelve-year-old boys to play ball. It just so happens that none of my helpers are free. Go and help me." Dabao threw down his schoolbag, pulled Lao Wang and was about to go out.
Lao Wang said angrily: "Are you asking me to play ball with a bunch of twelve-year-old brats?"
Dabao was stunned. He took a few steps back and looked up at his father. It seemed that he was a little too tall. He couldn't help but said distressedly: "What should I do? I didn't hire any helpers today. Isn't it a sure defeat? That's the only way.
Challenged them one on one."
"Dabao, it's time to eat. Let's go play after eating." At this time, Brother Fei quickly shouted.
"You can only play after finishing your homework and reading extracurricular readings." Erya added.
"Yes, yes." Fei Ge quickly echoed.
Dabao became even more distressed when he heard this, but he couldn't resist. He sat down next to Lao Wang and whispered: "Dad, did Second Aunt care about you like this before?"
"That's impossible. I don't care about your second aunt." Lao Wang immediately boasted.
"Really? Dad, you are indeed my dad!" Dabao said with admiration.
Two days later, Lao Wang, his eldest sister, his eldest brother-in-law, and their nephew returned home. They set up a table of Hundred Days Wine at home. They were just family members, and no guests were invited.
…
In the United States, this morning, O'Neal suddenly received a notice from the K-era club about his qualifications. This made him so angry that he cursed Old K for being stingy.
"Kobe, please help me buy some medicated oil and medicinal bath ingredients. I'll pay for it." He immediately called Kobe.
Kobe was packing his luggage. He was going to have surgery. When he heard O'Neal's call, he refused directly: "Shaq, I'm afraid not. I use it every day. If the dosage suddenly increases, the club will definitely be suspicious. If old K really
If he wants to target you, he won’t allow it.”
"This stingy guy!" O'Neill said angrily.
Kobe hung up the phone and muttered to himself: "Who asked you to do that kind of action on the court? In the G1 game, Old K let you go, but you continued to do it. Old K was not injured because he was lucky. Who was he to target if he didn't target you?
"
To be honest, he doesn't like O'Neal at all and is unwilling to help him.
The NBA finals are continuing. After the Nets won the G1 game, they won the G2 game on the 3rd. They won two consecutive games at home. They have the advantage and the championship is in sight.
However, the ratings of the finals are still stagnant.
"Mr. Stern, your punishment to Mr. K is too bad. We could have had 30 to 40 million ratings, but you ruined it all with your own hands. I want to congratulate you, you have killed your own facade with your own hands.
, you destroyed your most popular superstar, you are the best manager."
The president of abc television station called David Stern directly and just roared.
"David, I think the league needs to purge a group of executives who are dissatisfied with Old K. Yes, I am referring to your special assistant Xiao Hua. I know he was the one who took the lead in punishing Old K severely. But please remember
, David, we handed over the league to you to let you help us make money, not to let you destroy our most profitable star players."
"Mr. Stern, I'm very disappointed. What did our management do? Did you ban Old K and let those fans watch a group of role players play? I asked for a board meeting. The league needs a purge."
Then, David Stern began to receive constant calls from team owners, all of whom complained that the league's punishment for Old K was too severe, and that his head was as big as a bucket.
However, he still persisted, but he had to agree to hold a board meeting after the finals and before the draft.
On the 5th, Los Angeles, the G3 game of the finals continues.
At noon that day, under the special arrangement of the league, O'Neal, with a protective mask on his face, passed the return process before the G3 game.
However, O'Neal, who had just come back, was not in good condition, and the Nets used a slashing strategy. He made 4 of 15 shots, 6 of 14 free throws, and only scored 14 points and 11 rebounds.
The Lakers were not strong enough, Kobe Bryant suffered a knee injury, and even a forced outburst could not match the combined strength of Yao and Kidd. They were defeated again. The Nets won three consecutive victories, got the championship match point, and basically locked up the championship.
As for the ratings of the G3 game, because the Lakers could not withstand the Nets, the ratings were only 17.5 million, which was even lower than the 18.1 million of the G2 game.
On the 7th, on the morning of the 8th in the Capital City, the G4 game of the finals started.
Lao Wang watched the game at home, and Da Zhi, Hu Weidong and a group of national players came over and everyone watched the game together.
Unfortunately, Kobe endured a knee injury and broke out, scoring 41 points, shooting 45.5% from the field, and playing top-notch defense, stealing 4 times in the game. The Lakers regained a game at home, and the Nets lost the third game.
One match point, leading three to one.
After the game, Lao Wang received a call from Dayao.
"Brother, if we lose, we have no chance to sweep the Lakers." Dayao said regretfully.
"Don't think about sweeping, it would be good if you can win. I think that fat guy O'Neal is still in average condition. You have to seize the opportunity and win the next game. Don't delay. If you delay his condition again, you will be in more trouble."
Big." Lao Wang warned.
"I know." Dayao said in a deep voice.
On the 9th, US time, in New Jersey, the G5 game of the finals begins.
In this game, although O'Neal has not returned to 100% condition, he is better than the last game. Unfortunately, he is still subject to the Nets' cutting tactics.
Kobe's performance was mediocre, with only 21 points and a shooting percentage of only 36%. His knee injury troubled him more and more.
Dayao performed well, hitting three three-pointers in the game, scoring 33 points and 12 rebounds, with a shooting percentage of 54%.
In the end, the Nets defeated the Lakers at home and won the 2002/03 season championship with a big score of four to one. Dayao was elected as the finals FMVP.
Lao Wang breathed a sigh of relief and opened a bottle of red wine at home to celebrate Dayao with Lao Hu and the others across the Pacific Ocean.
Dayao is only in his third season. He has led his team to the finals for the second consecutive year, won the championship, and won FMVP. His career is considered quite successful.
At this time, Dayao called and said excitedly: "Brother, I will help you kill the Lakers."
Lao Wang said happily: "Well, not bad, it's not in vain for me to train you, haha!"
Having said this, he suddenly thought of something and asked: "Dayao, your rookie contract is three years, right?"
"Yes, it's over. The team wanted to renew my contract early during the season. I haven't signed it yet, but I'm still planning to stay. The team treats me well and invests a lot in me," Dayao said.
"If you can continue to invest and the contract is good, you can stay with the Nets," Lao Wang said.
After chatting for a while, the two ended the call.
"Old K, don't you want to form a team in the CBA? You have your own venue, and your summer camp has trained so many people. It's easy to have two teams, let alone one team."
Hu Weidong asked at this time.
"cba?"
Lao Wang thought for a while and said, "How is the Aoshen team doing lately?"
"I don't really listen to the greetings, and the people from Aoshen can't be transferred to the national team at all," Da Zhi said.
"The relationship with the higher-ups is very tense, and the completely privatized team has no national interests in its eyes," Hu Weidong said.
A few people chatted about the Olympian team. This team was established in 1997. Because the owner of the Olympian team was rich, the K-era basketball stadium was leased as the home court as soon as it was built, and it has been there until now.
Lao Wang shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's talk about it in two years."
Da Zhi said: "Old K, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng are participating in the draft this year. They are twenty years old. Do you think they can be selected?"
"Zhu Fangyu should be able to do it, that kid still has some talent. Wang Shipeng, I can't say, in the United States, there are too many good outside players, so they are not as popular as inside players. It doesn't matter, with Wang Shipeng's strength, he can't play in the NBA, so he can play in Europe.
"Lao Wang laughed.
"Sun Le and Yi Jianlian will also participate in the draft next year. Old K, your summer camp has produced a lot of talents." Hu Weidong said with a smile.
Lao Wang suddenly said excitedly: "I want a gold medal in the Olympics next year, and I hope these little guys can help me."
Upon hearing this, Hu Weidong, Da Zhi and other members of the national team immediately became excited.
Lao Wang suddenly sighed again: "I will be 31 years old next year and my condition can still be at its peak. If I don't win the gold medal next year, at the next Capital Olympics, I will be 35 years old and I will definitely no longer be at my peak. The position of the main center will have to be replaced.
Yao Yao is here to take the lead, and it’s hard to say what the result will be, so next year is our best chance.”
"Old K, you won't be able to return from the ban until a few days before next year's All-Star Game. You still have more than half a year. Do you have any plans? Why don't you come to our team to play?" Hu Weidong said with a smile.
Lao Wang laughed, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll make another plan on how to spend these few months."
At this time, David Stern was already annoyed to death by ABC, because ABC wanted to ask him to compensate for the losses. Isn't this nonsense?
The average viewership of the five finals games was 16.1 million. The subsequent g4g5 games were worse than the first three games. The games lost suspense. The lowest g5 game was just over 1,400.
Due to a knee injury, Kobe performed well in only one game in the Finals. His performance was mediocre and he could not attract many fans. Others such as O'Neal, Dayao, and Kidd were not to mention.
"I shot myself in the foot."
After Lao Wang found out about the average ratings of the finals, he complained.
A few days later, Dayao came back from the United States, and with him came CCTV Zhang Liji and his gang.
After leaving the airport, a group of people went directly to Lao Wang's home. When they saw Lao Wang, Yao Xianbao took out the FMVP trophy and Lao Wang also gave a few words of praise.
"Tiejun, how are you preparing for the basketball school?" After the excitement, Lao Wang and Zhang Lili sat together and started chatting, Lao Zhang asked.
"My second sister is almost ready." Lao Wang smiled and nodded.
"That's great!" Zhang Lili said happily.
He has always been managing Wang Tiejun's summer camp. It is his interest and a good source of income, so he cares about it very much.
Since last year, Wang Tiejun has wanted to upgrade the summer camp and turn it into a basketball school, similar to a sports school, but only for basketball, and to set up his own agency.
He said: "Brother Zhang, you will be the first principal. However, the school and the agency work on their own and are not affiliated with each other."
Zhang Lili said excitedly: "You really want me to be the principal?"
"If I don't let you do it, then I'll do it myself?" Lao Wang said.
"Forget it, I'll do it anyway. How can you manage a school?" Lao Zhang said quickly.
Lao Wang laughed and said: "The investors of the brokerage company are not in my name. I will find someone else to be the frontman. What do you think?"
"Probably, you can't set up a brokerage company if you are still playing basketball. The NBA has this rule." Zhang Li said with a smile.
Dayao had been listening to the conversation between the two, and then said: "Brother, my contract extension has not been signed yet. David Frank has not been having a good time in the past two years. Do you think I still want to cooperate with him? How about you
After the brokerage company is established, I will come over?"
"David Frank?"
Lao Wang thought about this top agent who was a popular figure in the NBA a few years ago. With Jordan's retirement in the past two years, he has indeed become worse than before. He can no longer sign good stars. If he didn't have a big player on his hands,
Yao, maybe he has quit the NBA.
The biggest reason is that the league is suppressing this agent, and David Stern is not satisfied with David Frank's influence on the league.
This is the same reason as the alliance suppressing him.
He thought for a while and said: "The freeze period will end at the end of July. There is still time. Just wait. I am almost here. I have contacted several NBA agents. As soon as the company is established, I can sign you."
"That's okay." Dayao nodded happily.
Zhang Lili smiled and said: "Then let's hurry up and sign Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng in together."
"Of course, I have never asked them to sign an agent. I just plan to sign them in." Lao Wang nodded.
He said: "We have established our own agency and have connections with the K-era club. There is no shortage of commercial sponsorship. However, we need to develop in the country in the future. The main commercial income of the people we train will still be in the country."
The reason why he wanted to set up a brokerage company was not only to maximize his profits, but also to increase his importance in the NBA.
In the future, as more and more Chinese players join the NBA, he believes that this can be done.
Even after he retires, he can buy an NBA team.
After the negotiation was completed, the matter began to be put into operation.
On June 15, a sports agency called "Ace" was established in the United States, and its investor was an investment company from China.
Subsequently, Ace Company announced three signings.
The first two signings were Wang Shipeng and Zhu Fangyu who participated in the 2003 draft. They did not attract attention in the United States and received little attention, but they attracted a lot of attention domestically.
But the third signing has attracted widespread attention from the US media, and the NBA has also made a lot of noise, because it is about the signing of the latest FMVP winner Yao Min.
Hawksman immediately began to pay attention to Ace Company, because all three people signed by this company were Chinese players. He was worried that Old K would abandon him and choose to join this company.
At night, when it was morning in China, he couldn't wait to contact Lao Wang.
"Old K, do you know about Ace Company? An investment company from China, have they contacted you?" As soon as the call came through, he asked quickly.
"Oh, they contacted me many times, invited me to join their agency, and gave me a lot of conditions, but I rejected them," Lao Wang said.
"call!"
Hawksman breathed a sigh of relief.
Lao Wang is not ready to leave CAA for the time being. CAA has always been good to him and his cooperation with Hawksman has been smooth. In addition, if he stays in CAA, he can continue to maintain contact with CAA, which is also very important to him.
His most important purpose in opening a brokerage company is not to make money. K-Times Club, K-Times Trading Company, and K-Times Construction Company have already made enough money for him. A basketball brokerage company cannot make much money at all. He is the most important
The purpose is to better operate the players he has trained and increase his voice in the NBA in the future.
