Chapter 2067 Too many people and money makes you stupid

When many established companies in the AV industry united to improve the treatment of well-known pornographic companies under their banners, vowing to fight Lin Feng to the end and drive him out of the game, Lin Feng came to New York.

The NBA signs a labor agreement every five years. Every five years, labor and management will engage in a war of words at the Olympic Tower at 645 Fifth Avenue in New York to discuss profit sharing. In the last five years, the protracted NBA was born.

Lockout. What will happen in this five-year period? According to Lin Feng’s memory, both sides of the NBA are worried about the consequences of the last lockout. In addition, the current global economic situation is very good, and the players union has made a slight concession. Therefore, this time

The collective bargaining agreement negotiations came to an end in just a few days.

From Lin Feng's point of view, this time he came to the NBA headquarters to participate in the labor negotiations, it was just a formality to see the world and gain experience. Therefore, he went without any preparation at all.

"Mr. Lin, you are a very busy man!" Stern met Lin Feng in the elevator and marveled at Lin Feng's changes over the past year.

"Mr. Stern, the NBA is becoming more and more prosperous under your leadership. We, the team owners, all want to thank you for everything you have done for the NBA." Lin Feng smiled and exchanged casual greetings. Anyone can flatter you.

The two entered the bosses' room while chatting. There was no official labor negotiation yet, so the bosses naturally gathered together to unify the front in order to prevent internal disagreements among the bosses and end up taking advantage of the players. Seeing Lin Feng come in, many bosses were slightly surprised.

.The bosses here, although they are sworn enemies of each other's teams, they still occasionally gather together to chat and drink. As for Lin Feng, they are much strangers.

"Mr. Lin, you are welcome to participate in this collective bargaining agreement." Cuban was the first to come over. He is the owner of the Dallas Mavericks. He once signed the first Chinese NBA player-Wang Zhizhi. Although Wang Zhizhi is currently

He has moved away, but that doesn't stop Cuban from being friendly to the Chinese.

"Mr. Cuban, although this is the first time we have met, your love and persistence for basketball are really admirable. Among the many bosses in the NBA, you are the one I admire the most." Lin Feng praised.

Cuban doesn't like to hear you praise him for his good investment vision and his ability to make money. Anyone can make money, it just depends on whether he can seize the opportunity. But when others praise him for his love of basketball and his dedication to the team, he doesn't like it.

I love hearing it. After hearing Lin Feng’s words, Cuban’s eyes suddenly widened with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, let me tell you, this guy is not very good at running a team, and if he wants to make more money, he is willing to bet the players' wages to death. From my perspective, investing in basketball is a hobby and a spiritual sustenance.

Whether you make money or not is secondary, as long as you can maintain your operating livelihood." Cuban pulled Lin Feng aside, glanced at several bosses, and said disdainfully.

"That's right, Mr. Cuban, I like what you say. When you invest in a basketball team, you just want to make money, so why don't you invest a dime? We are all businessmen, will there be no chance to make money? You still want to make money from basketball, that's not true

Are you holding on after eating too much?" Lin Feng felt emotional after hearing Cuban's remarks.

Whether I invest in the Houston Rockets or Tottenham Hotspur, it is just for hobbies, just for the love of football and basketball. If you make money from this, aren't you looking for trouble? But most of these NBA bosses hate the team.

Earn them tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, every year. Tell me, do you billionaire bosses lack this amount of money? Is this the case?

When Cuban heard what Lin Feng said, he looked excited and punched Lin Feng hard.

"God, Lin, what you said is so right. You are really my confidant. Every time I went to see the meeting, these son-of-a-bitch bosses all looked like Grandet. They also said that I was too rich and that I was a nouveau riche. Damn it.

I can't talk to them about going together. Now that I have you, I'm not alone anymore. Let's go have a drink together later!" Cuban invited Lin Feng.

"Haha, of course. As owners, and the teams are in the same division, we naturally have to be closer to each other to make our Texas team the strongest division in the NBA!" Lin Feng laughed and happily accepted Ku's decision.

Class invitation.

"See, that idiot Cuban and that Lin Feng are getting involved. Now the negotiations are going to be in trouble." Memphis Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley stared at Lin Feng and Cuban who were chatting and laughing, and said angrily.

.

"Well, that Cuban is already out of touch. He actually claimed that as long as the NBA has the support of fans and can attract fans to come to watch the game, he can pay the players any salary. Isn't this crazy! If we pay players such high salaries, we bosses

What to eat and what to drink? Are we supposed to make money from other places to support the team? We are not crazy!" Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling said.

On the sidelines, Los Angeles Lakers owner Buss pursed his lips in annoyance. This Donald Sterling is a famous stingy among NBA owners. No wonder the Clippers are still losing money even though they are in Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States. This is not only

The problem of the team's record is also the problem of Donald Sterling being too stingy.

Amid the discussion among many bosses because of Lin Feng and Cuban's chatter, Stern presided over the impromptu meeting before the labor negotiations.

"Boss, first of all, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend this labor negotiation. First of all, please let me welcome Mr. Lin Feng, the owner of the Houston Rockets, who is participating in labor negotiations for the first time on behalf of everyone! I think everyone should be familiar with him.

!" Stern introduced with applause.

Lin Feng nodded to everyone. But obviously, everyone here is the boss, so naturally no one would imitate the employees and applaud and welcome you. Even if you, Lin Feng, are the richest man in the world, they will not drop this price.

"I am convening this temporary meeting today because I hope everyone can unify their thoughts. First of all, we must ensure that this labor negotiation will not cause another NBA shutdown. The last shutdown caused too much damage to everyone, and no one can bear the second time.

"Stern said.

Many bosses nodded.

Lin Feng didn't take this to heart at all, and just drank tea and chatted with Cuban.

"Lin, aren't you worried about this? I'm afraid that these Grandets are too stingy and will cause this labor negotiation to break down again." Cuban was a little surprised to see Lin Feng so relaxed. Every time he came to labor negotiations, he would always

He went back angry. He and these bosses couldn't talk to each other. When the negotiation broke down last time and eventually led to the NBA shutdown, Cuban warned many bosses not to pay too much attention to small profits. The loss of tens of millions of dollars is not enough.

For many owners, it is not a big number. If the negotiations break down, the final loss will definitely be greater than the tens of millions of dollars. As a result, Cuban was ridiculed as a fool with too much money. In the end, the negotiations broke down and the players

Although the losses were huge, so were the bosses.

So this time, Cuban has a shadow.

"Don't worry, Cuban. With the lessons learned from last time, this negotiation will be easy." Lin Feng patted Cuban on the shoulder and comforted him. Lin Feng had a good impression of this boss who truly loved the Mavericks.

Lin Feng's words were obviously comforting in Cuban's eyes. He could not settle down. Afterwards, he had several verbal battles with many bosses, explaining the harm of the last lockout and frankly saying not to be too harsh this time. Unfortunately, other bosses obviously

He is not as generous as Cuban. He never thinks that players should be given more money. Instead, he believes that players’ salaries should be appropriately lowered to ensure team profits. As for Cuban’s argument, it is still the same shocking saying - more people and more money are stupid.

"Do you still want to see the crisis caused by the last shutdown again?" Cuban shouted.

Many bosses stared at Cuban with idiotic expressions.

"We are the bosses, they are the players, they are working for us. In this case, why should their players make more profits than us, and those franchise players have more say in the players than we do. Why should our bosses listen?

Words from a wage earner!" Memphis Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley said loudly.

Michael Haisley's words are supported by most bosses. They will never tolerate wage earners earning more than their bosses and being more powerful. This is unacceptable.

Cuban's face turned red from holding back. He had a lot to say, but he was not a very eloquent person. He was a very shrewd investment businessman. He was good at investing and passionate about basketball, but he was not a professional.

debater.

Seeing that Cuban couldn't speak out, Michael Haisley and others began to mock Cuban to their heart's content. That sentence - people are stupid and money is too much is the most mentioned word. With this sentence, Cuban almost slammed the door.

And out.

Now, Lin Feng couldn't stand it. It's too much of a bully for so many of you to unite to bully Cuban. Just for the sake of the 29 bosses just now, Cuban alone came to say hello to him, so he couldn't

Let Cuban be bullied so much. What's more, in terms of his love for basketball, Lin Feng has never seen any boss who is more passionate about basketball than Cuban. And this guy has a lot of personality. Thinking of being fined by the NBA, Cuban

I sent a cartload of coins over, and I just wanted to laugh. He has such a personality, loves basketball, and is very popular. With these three points, when these bosses bully Cuban, they are bullying themselves. - Lin Feng decided to make Cuban a friend.

.

"Bang!" Lin Feng slapped the table and stood up.

All the bosses were shocked by Lin Feng.

"Lin Feng, why are you banging the table here? This is not your Houston Rockets, this is not your office. These are all bosses. Everyone is equal. Who are you trying to scare!" Memphis Grizzlies owner Michael Heisley asked angrily.

Lin Feng glanced sideways at Michael Heisley. Lin Feng knew who this guy was. He was one of the most idiotic owners in the NBA. He once traded Gasol to the Los Angeles Lakers at a near-loss. His famous saying is -

—My team’s investment amount already exceeds that of the San Antonio Spurs, why should I increase my investment?
