900. Fried Morey Squid

After hanging up the phone, Wang Fei was a little hesitant.

He knew that he had just agreed to Fertita's decision to attend the retirement ceremony of his jersey just now.

I am now a public figure and an iconic superstar of Chinese sports. I have to be a little enlightened no matter what.

If you finally choose to attend the Rockets' jersey retirement ceremony, it might really cause an uproar in the country.

After thinking about it, Wang Fei decided to give up attending the Rockets' home jersey retirement ceremony.

Thinking of this, Wang Fei called Fertita again.

The phone is connected.

Fertita answered the phone as soon as possible.

"Hello, king! Don't worry, your jersey retirement ceremony will be very grand. We will invite the famous people in the history of the Rockets as long as you are alive! We will remember your contribution to the Rockets!" Fertita said with a little excitement.

Wang Fei blinked and scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Mr. Filtita, thank you for your arrangement. However, you know, I am playing for Real Madrid now. After I agreed to your request, I looked at Real Madrid's schedule again. It turned out that on the second day after the jersey retirement ceremony you arranged for me, Real Madrid will have a La Liga event. If I attend the jersey retirement ceremony, I will not be able to catch up with this game. I called head coach Zidane again. He doesn't want me to miss this game, so I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I can't attend my jersey retirement ceremony."

I can only find such a reason.

"God! If so, it would be a pity." Filtita said with a wry smile.

If the jersey retires, the players who have been retired will not go there themselves, so the ceremony is really impossible.

"Yes, I feel sorry, too." Wang Fei said.

"It's not that you were subjected to some resistance, right?" Filtita asked.

"No, no!" Wang Fei said.

"Well, then okay, it seems that your jersey retirement ceremony can only be carried out afterwards." Fertita said regretfully.

"Okay, maybe, I should find a better opportunity." Wang Fei said.

"I can understand you," Fertita said.

After hanging up the phone, Fertita's face turned completely gloomy. He originally wanted to use the retired Wang Fei's jersey as a breakthrough to improve his relationship with China.

But now, the abacus seems to be out of date.

This is really a pity.

"Fake! Damn it! I thought I finally saw the light, but unexpectedly, the gap that had only opened a little bit was blocked again." Fertita cursed fiercely.

Filtita's granddaughter Molly came over to comfort her grandfather: "Don't be angry, my dear grandfather, I said that you should have made a decision early. However, you always look back and hesitate. This is the main reason why the Rockets have encountered a passive situation for a long time!"

More than a year has passed since the Morey incident.

The storm has long subsided.

Because the perpetrator Morey has not been punished, the Rockets are still facing bans from China.

Because of this, the Rockets suffered heavy losses.

Not only did the commercial development plan in China have to be terminated, but many sponsors in China have also terminated their cooperation.

In more than a year, the Rockets' losses were in billions.

The value of the Rockets Club has also dropped significantly.

Filtita spent 2.2 billion to buy the Rockets, but now, the Rockets' market value has fallen by hundreds of millions of dollars.

This business made Fertita suffer.

But after the incident happened, Fertita did not dare to fire Morey.

Because Americans would not agree to do this.

Morey has now become a thorn on the Rockets!

If this thorn is not removed, it will continue to damage the Rockets.

"Molly, then what do you think I should do?" Filtita shrugged and said.

"Shit that guy! He has already caused you to lose a lot of money! Your losses are still expanding! But he is like a ok person! I think, as long as Morey is fired, and then show goodwill to China by holding a jersey retirement ceremony for Wang, maybe we will regain the Chinese market!" Molly said.

Fertita shook her head: "The league still supports that guy! Moreover, our country's public opinion also shows that if we fire that guy, we might be boycotted by domestic fans."

"You're thinking too much, grandpa! You've kept that guy for so long, but the attendance rate of Toyota Center is still very low! I didn't see those American fans shouting loudly to give us some support! On the contrary, LeBron, who was once in a vortex of public opinion because of the statement of that matter, was still welcomed by countless people. Although he was old and his popularity was still high. Can't this inspire you?" Molly said. "But if he was fired, maybe I would never find a more suitable general manager." Filtita said again.

"How could that be? Do you think that guy has done a very successful job in the seat he sits in? I don't think so! We pay a sky-high luxury tax every year, but we don't get better results! We haven't even been able to reach the finals! Isn't this caused by his incompetence? Grandpa, fire him! You will definitely get a reward!" Molly persuaded Fertita again.

Filtita hesitated for a long time.

He finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll listen to you! I'm going to fire that guy! I can't stand him anymore. He made everything into a mess! He made me so passive now!"

"That's right! Grandpa, now, call Morey and tell him that he has been fired." Molly said with a smile.

Fertita grabbed his cell phone and found Morey's number.

Now, Morey has returned home, sitting on the sofa in the living room, enjoying a rare leisure time.

Over the past year, Morey has been under a lot of pressure.

He was so quick that he made bad remarks, which caused the entire NBA to fall into a big storm, although he did not lose his job.

But he was still a little nervous.

He knew that his boss might have been annoyed him.

The reason why he has not been fired is because Fertita is worried about being backlashed by domestic American netizens.

More than a year has passed.

The Rockets' record is still lukewarm.

Although the record is still good every year and we are steadily entering the playoffs, we are still a good student to accompany the prince and have no hope of winning the championship.

Morey knew that Fertita was even more dissatisfied with him now.

He made the boss make less money, but he couldn't help him win the championship. For Fertita, he was already a thorn in his side.

God knows when Fertita will call him in person and tell him that he has been fired!

Morey felt a knife hanging above his forehead.

This knife may fall down at some point.

But at least now, he is still sitting safely in the position of Rockets general manager.

I hope this day will never come! Morey was watching a TV show and communicating with his wife, and his cell phone rang.

He glanced at the call number and found that it was from Fertita.

Morey's heart was inexplicably nervous.

He hurriedly grabbed his cell phone and told his wife to go and answer the phone.

He walked out of the door and came to the yard.

He answered the phone and said with a smile: "Good evening, Mr. Filtita! The weather is very good tonight, isn't it?"

"Morey, I will officially notify you now that you have been fired. Please go through the resignation procedures tomorrow and leave immediately!" Fertita said straightforwardly without any twists and nostalgia.

Although Morey had known for a long time that the day he was fired would come.

However, he was still a little unacceptable when he got the boss' notification.

"Mr. Filtita, what did I do wrong? The agreement I signed with the club has not expired yet! If you forcefully fire me, I'm afraid you will have to pay me a large amount of compensation!" Morey said.

"What did you do wrong? You did everything wrong! You made me lose more than one billion US dollars! You made me lose the largest Chinese market, you put the club in business difficulties! You said you did wrong? If you were tactful, you should quit your job voluntarily! But you didn't do that! Mr. Morey, you are a selfish person and you don't have any responsibility! I've had enough of you. Even if you have to pay you a lot of money, I admit it. Your existence has seriously affected the development of the club! Of course I can't keep you anymore!" Fertita said.

Morey heard Fertita roaring on the phone, and his scalp was a little numb.

He thought to himself, it turns out that Fertita hates me so much!

"Mr. Filtita, OK! If you want to open me, I will accept your decision! I will go through the procedures tomorrow!" Morey said.

"Mr. Morey, thank you for your contribution to the Rockets over the years! I hope we can get together and part with each other!" Fertita said, then hung up the phone.

Only Morey was left alone in the wind.

He is unemployed.

He has been working for the Rockets for more than a decade, and now he has to leave the club.

When Morey thought of this, he felt a little relieved.

"Darel, what's wrong?" his wife chased after him.

"Nothing." Morey smiled reluctantly.

"There must be something big, otherwise you wouldn't be so depressed." said the wife.

"Dear, I think, I want to tell you something bad news, I'm unemployed and I'm just fired by my boss." Morey said.

"Oh! God! Why did he do this? It's been more than a month since the matter was gone, and I thought it was over! I didn't expect that he was still holding a grudge. This is so terrible." The wife said with a sad face.

"Don't worry! I can still find a better job after leaving the Rockets! I think this is no problem at all!" Morey said with a reluctant smile.

"Daril, I think you should apologize for that matter. If you apologize, you may be able to avoid being fired now." said the wife.

"No, no! That's impossible! If I apologize and admit it's my fault, I will be condemned by many people in the country, and I will be fired by Fertita at that time! So, an apology is impossible!" Morey said stubbornly.
