The Pope of Basketball Community

The two sides had a negotiation after the draft, and broke up unhappy for an hour without reaching any consensus.

Prior to this, although there were many disputes between labor and management, they never delayed a regular season. This time was an exception, because the official negotiations had not yet started, and Ewing, the chairman of the players union, directly pushed Labor into a disadvantageous situation.

Stern made it clear: "The salary of NBA players is already much higher than that of ordinary people, and they should not ask for more."

Ewing could answer in countless ways, but he chose the most thoughtless one: "Yes, we earn a lot, but we also spend a lot."

Many fans called Ewing "gorilla" for a long time, but suddenly this summer, Ewing's IQ degenerated to the point of a gorilla.

What is a pig teammate in the world? The players just want to say, this is it.

In this way, the audience will not sympathize with the players at all, but think that this is nothing more than "a game of profit sharing between multi-millionaires and billionaires." And superstars are hopelessly greedy people.

Even if the final negotiation is completed, the NBA's brand image will definitely be affected to a certain extent.

The focus of NBA labor negotiations is how much NBA players can share in game revenue. According to regulations, if this ratio exceeds 52%, they should be renegotiated. Last season, their share reached 57%.

Even so, the representatives of the players' union are still not satisfied, hoping to finally get a 63% share, and then they are willing to adjust the floating rate of salary increases.

Of course the boss would not agree, so they are still the boss? It's just working for the players.

The salary of a superstar is not capped, and he wants to fight for the interests of a group of younger brothers under him, so that they can also get a high salary. Are they really using the bosses as cash machines?

Superstars like Ewing are not short of money, and they can live for several lifetimes without playing football. The unlucky ones are marginal people, players with a basic salary.

This year's rookies are very depressed. They finally left the campus to make money, but they encountered this kind of thing.

On July 1, the NBA officially entered the lockout period. Not only are the gymnasiums closed, but even the official NBA website is shut down. Fans cannot see photos and news of stars from the official website. The agreement stipulates that NBA officials have no right to use any player's pictures and text materials during the lockout period, and the team is the same.

In addition, the free market is closed, the team cannot conduct any transaction negotiations, sign players or trade players, players cannot use the team's training facilities for any reason, the team cannot hold summer training camps, exhibitions, training, team Conferences and coaching sessions.

The most annoying rule is that international players with contracts cannot represent the national team to participate in competitions. It just so happens that the Men's Basketball World Championships will be held this summer, and the American Dream Team cannot make up the lineup, making it difficult to win the championship.

Some poor players ran out to find work, and first took part-time jobs to support their families.

Free agents and rookies who have not yet signed a formal contract with any NBA team can earn extra money by playing during the lockout period.

Brad Miller is such a "lucky guy". If he loses the draft, he can go wherever he likes.

Even better, he received a call from the Raptors management on the second day of the draft, expressing his willingness to give him a basic salary and let him play for the Raptors in the new season, without any worries.

Yang Rui has nothing to do, just play every day.

One day, Thomas Bentley came back from get off work and said to Yang Rui, "I tell you, I have cleared all the stocks."

"Okay, when are you going to buy it back?"

"It depends on the situation. It is not far from an adjustment. The Asian financial turmoil that started last year has not yet ended. International speculators have launched a new round of attacks on Hong Kong. The Hang Seng Index is plummeting. It is impossible for the US stock market to be unaffected... In short ,

Safest to sell now. "

Yang Rui nodded, admiring Thomas' ability even more, he avoided the coming crash.

His success is based on advanced vision, Thomas is a true genius.

He doesn't know how to trade in stocks, but he knows the future. Something big will happen this year. In 1998, the U.S. stock market experienced a shocking reversal. It first plummeted by 33% from July to October, and then led the market to counterattack sharply, from more than 1,400 points to nearly 6,000 points.

Thomas was elated when he talked about his work, and he even thought about what to do after the adjustment, that is, to continue the full warehouse of Cisco Systems. Now that the computer industry is so hot, there is already a new term called "netizen". It is absolutely right to buy something related to the Internet.

This theory is absolutely correct. Cisco is engaged in Internet solutions, equipment and software products. It began to grow in 1996. By 2004, it had more than 35,000 employees worldwide and became a super giant with a single annual turnover of more than 22 billion US dollars.

The two made a lot of money before, and now Cisco's stock price is not high, more than thirteen dollars a share. If you buy it, you just lie down and take the money, and ship it before the U.S. stock market crash in 2000. The stock price must be more than 50 yuan.

With Thomas here, after the limelight passes, they can happily buy the bottom.

Yang Ruijin has no pressure in his life. He doesn't care how much salary the Raptors can give him. Even if he only trades in stocks, he will be a rich man in the future. Being a coach is purely for the pleasure of fame and his love of basketball.

But he was not satisfied and wanted to earn more for future investment. Even if their current funds are full positions, they will not be able to earn more than 2 million in the short term. They can continue to buy and sell in the future, but it is difficult to make huge profits.

No way, the principal is too little.

What can be done to double or even more funds before November? Yang Rui thought hard.

He didn't want to rely on Thomas to make money all the time. As a reborn, he hugged his friend's thigh, which was too useless. In his previous life, he had lived an ordinary life enough.

He remembered the line from the movie "Never Ending". "The only problem is, if I don't improve, it hurts my ass."

It is decadent for a person to be more successful if he does not do it.

When Yang Rui was thinking about what to invest in to make money at home, he received a call from Thibodeau.

"Jerry, what are you up to?"

"I'm in a daze at home, I don't know what to do when I stop." Yang Rui sighed.

"Come out to have dinner together? Call Little Tom, I've made money, treat me." Thibodeau laughed.

The three met and chatted. It turned out that Thibodeau bought football betting. Last night in the World Cup semi-finals, France beat Croatia 2-1, and he made money.

"As a coach in our sports circle, can we participate in gambling? Will making money like this be reported by the media and investigated?"

Thibodeau shook his head and said with a smile: "What are you thinking? We are not betting on the NBA to manipulate the game, but just buying football betting. Control the Football World Cup?"

Interlaced like a mountain, of course, Stern can not control football. Yang Rui's mind became hot. "Then just buy it casually?"
