NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 51: With the signing of a general manager, will the Knicks’ future be brightened?

Stevens knew it was him at first glance.

Because Jiang Chao has said before that he is looking for a more stable general manager, so this center as general manager is what he said is a heavyweight who can suppress everything. This is the one who is more "heavyweight" than Bird.

.

Who dares to make a mistake??

With a height of about 2.10 meters and a pair of big hands, how could Stevens dare to quarrel with him in the future?

Just carry him out with one hand!

"Yes, that's him."

Jiang Chao was identified by his appearance.

Because the length is so distinctive.

Born in New Zealand, his face looks like the Hobbit in "The Lord of the Rings", but his height is completely different.

"Lord of the Rings" happened to be filmed in New Zealand, so he had a deep memory of such a general manager from New Zealand in his previous life.

Seeing it in this life, I feel a little shocked. Damn, the future general manager of the Nets is so big!

He deeply suspected that Boss Cai had hired such a strong person to be the general manager because he was afraid that he would not be able to control his players, right?

Jiang Chao put his hands in his pockets: "Let's go, this should be the last management staff I recruit, and you will all go after that."

"Ok, no problem!"

Stevens also knew the purpose of Jiang Chao's trip.

The meaning is very clear, I will give you a sample, and it will be up to you and the general manager from now on.

That's how it is. How can a team owner travel for the team every day? Jiang Chao doesn't have a side job. While other team owners have side jobs, the team is actually used for entertainment investment. He can do whatever he wants to do in the future.

I sent my subordinates to do it.

It is also a matter of time before Jiang Chao starts a side business, but now he urgently needs to stabilize his main business of basketball.

Stevens should gather his energy, study hard and watch well.

Jiang Chao represents the new Knicks, and this is the first lesson in welcoming him to the NBA.

Even though Jiang Chao himself is still a newbie, some of his methods and decisive actions have long been beyond Stevens's understanding. Ya's exchange of signatures with Big Bird, and finding someone for Duncan's car repair shop can only be done by carbon-based organisms.

thing?

Simply a god.

It was as if luck and strength were on his side.

And Sean Marks' recruiting process was simple.

It's much easier than Stevens and even recruiting Lao Lu.

Jiang Chao stepped forward and said hello to the tall man.

"Hey Sean Marks, how's it going these days!"

"Hey! Jiang Chao? I've heard of him for a long time!" As a member of the management team, Max must have recognized the latest hot figure in basketball newspapers at a glance.

"Would you like to come to New York?" For this little-known figure, Jiang Chao's recruitment was very straightforward.

It means that I appreciate you very much and that you have the potential to be our general manager.

So, come on over!

Stevens also stepped forward to introduce himself at the right time.

The handsome demeanor of the young marshal also surprised Max.

The two people mentioned in the news are both very talented in reality.

Although he looks tall and rough, he is still a young man.

So if these iron triangles were combined, the picture would be too young.

After Stevens explained the situation, Sean Marks seemed to understand and was not surprised.

It even felt like he was waiting for this moment.

This is an invitation you can't refuse. Just kidding, this is the top position on the Knicks team.

Compared with some bosses who just invest, the general manager is the one who really gets started.

New Zealanders have a unique perspective. When everyone thinks Jiang Chao is not good enough, he actually wants to be friends with Jiang Chao.

Now that he stood in front of Sean to recruit him, the first thing he felt was not excitement, but a feeling of "really here".

"I just think you are different, young boss."

"Ah, thank you."

To be honest, Sean felt that Jiang Chao was not really fooling around when he put the players on the shelves, and that he wanted to trade in good faith.

However, RC didn't believe it at the time and still wanted to explore the transaction casually. As an assistant, he couldn't say much.

The moment Jiang Chao found him, he knew that he was right.

He also knew that an important opportunity in his life had come.

In fact, both of them knew very well that they wanted someone as young and unqualified as you to be the general manager.

The subtext is that you are my messenger, and I need a newcomer like him who doesn't have much resume.

Otherwise, public opinion is now saying that Jiang Chao always speaks his mind. A few years before he came to the Knicks, Jiang Chao must have done whatever Jiang Chao said. Once he gets used to Jiang Chao's style, he will be able to do what Jiang Chao wants to see.

For young managers like Sean Marks, one is to train them, and the other is to become their right-hand man. It's a very simple thing.

Senior runner.

Max also has this realization. He ran more and became more tired under RC Buford.

Apart from these, he would quickly agree to Jiang Chao out of favor.

The Knicks were the team that truly brought him to the NBA. If the Knicks hadn't drafted him in the second round 12 years ago, he would not have come to the NBA from the New Zealand League.

Although the boss has changed now, it still shows that he is still connected to New York, right?

He wiped his dirty hands and held Jiang Chao's hand with both hands:

"I promise you! I will start from scratch and show it to you!"

"Well, I'm also looking for long-term cooperation. The contract starts from five years."

Stevens nodded.

stable!

Both of us have been together for 5 years, which is enough trust!

"Okay! In the future, I will prove that my ability is not inferior to that of veteran managers, and I will do things according to your requirements."

Compared to Stevens' burden to his hometown and students, Sean Marks has no burden at all. The most he can do is resign to RC Buford and then tell coach Popovich that I'm leaving.

Parker Duncan who met before and Stevens now couldn't even think of a reason for Max's refusal.

This is a big jump, even better than Cole!!!

Moreover, when he was a player, he was not as good as the sharpshooter Cole, so with his resume as a general manager, only he thinks he is qualified, and others will think, Oh my God, is this just an errand?

"The horse hurts his beloved general."

"Haha, no, the Spurs have a strong team. It's okay if I'm missing." Max couldn't help but bow slightly to Jiang Chao's love. This is too high for him. He is not a Spur like Cole, Brown, or Speights.

Department of senior talents.

Ci Mi probably congratulates him on his departure.

There will be no regrets. Poaching an ordinary employee to be the general manager is equivalent to putting money on the Spurs' face.

Max's current annual salary is 100,000, and he is a behind-the-scenes staff member.

The general manager of the New York City Major League Baseball Market earns at least one million a year. His status and reputation are indescribable. Anyway, he will definitely not have to do his own laundry anymore.

Why did Sean Marks not return to China after retiring, but stayed in the Spurs to further his studies? It was because he loved basketball enough and wanted to continue to use his abilities.

Jiang Chao and Jiang Chao also saw this clearly. A big center who washes his own clothes is really not afraid of ruining his suit. On the one hand, it shows that he doesn't have much money, and on the other hand, it also shows his patience.

In terms of personality, he is suitable for being a general manager.

"Then I welcome you in advance. Is there a fax machine here? Can we sign here?"

"Yes! There is one in my dormitory, I will take you there."

With Sean Marks agreeing.

This is the first time these three Knicks top executives have come together.

The young marshal can't wait to see what will happen in the future!

Will it ever be bright for the Knicks?

Jiang Chao had the same idea. Six years later, Sean Marks helped open up the Nets in New York.

And next season, will the Knicks' sky light up because of him?

Let’s wait and see!

(ps: Thanks to Yuanliang for the 500-point reward!)
