In the next few days, Li Rui was busy hitting the back of the head.

Acquiring a team is not just about paying money, and it involves a lot of tedious matters.

Just calling on to introduce yourself with other NBA bosses and attending the council conference, it took Li Rui a whole day.

In addition, we also met with Rockets staff, coaches and players to stabilize the morale of the army, as well as meeting with sponsor partners to discuss the next team operation plan.

In addition to the new labor-management negotiations that began on the 23rd, Li Rui needed to participate in the form of a telephone conference as the newly promoted Rockets boss. It can be said that he lives a very busy and fulfilling life every day.

Although busy, the harvest is also great.

The negotiations started on the 23rd and lasted until the 25th, and finally reached an agreement when both labor and capital made concessions.

In fact, if both sides can no longer reach an agreement, the game this season will be completely cancelled, which is a huge loss that neither side can bear.

For the bosses, the cancellation of the season means astronomical losses, which will cause the NBA, which is already in a loss, to fall into a state of doom.

For players, they will not get a salary without a game. Although many players are paying sky-high wages, they lack savings because they spend money. For some middle and lower-level players, the suspension is equivalent to destroying them.

If you don’t play a game, you will really not be able to eat.

Both sides were eager to resume the game, so they could discuss it calmly.

They reached a five-year agreement, which mainly consists of three points.

First, the player agrees to reduce the proportion of salary expenditure to 51.2% in the new season, and adjust it based on league revenue in the next few years, with the adjustment range between 49% and 51%.

Second, some new wage rules are added, the most important of which is the Derek Ross clause.

Third, the maximum salary ratio of players remains unchanged.

After the agreement was reached, the NBA's new season officially set its schedule.

The preseason, various transactions, signing and other matters will be held on December 8, and the regular season will officially start on Christmas Day on December 25.

After signing the agreement, the boss and the players breathed a sigh of relief, but few people realized that this agreement kicked off the rapid development of the NBA in the next decade.

As soon as the negotiations were over, Li Rui called Fatty Mo to the office.

"Darell, thank you for your efforts to the Rockets over the past few years. I regret to inform you that due to the changes in the team's future strategic goals, we will fire your position as general manager. Now you can contact other teams.

” Li Rui said lightly.

Fatty Mo was shocked. He knew that the new boss would definitely make some big moves after taking office, but he didn't expect that the first big move was to fire him.

In Fatty Mo's opinion, he is one of the smartest managers in the league. He is especially good at using data to mine some low-famous but very powerful players. He almost never gives garbage contracts, so he is particularly respected by Alexander.

Fatty Mo always believed that no matter who the Rockets boss was, his position as general manager was very solid. Unexpectedly, Li Rui taught him a bloody lesson.

"Why, is it because I'm not doing my job well enough?" asked Fatty Mo.

Li Rui said meaningfully: "Do you really want to know the reason?"

Fatty Mo said: "Of course!"

Li Rui said: "I am a native of Huaguo. This team will have many Huaguo elements in the future. I hope to build it into a link between sports and cultural exchanges between Huaguo and Meiguo and Huaguo. Can you be competent for this job?"

"I can!"

"Oh, then can you ensure that all your thoughts and language behaviors respect the culture and customs of Xiaguo, and never do anything that hurts the feelings of Xiaguo people?" Li Rui's voice became cold, "Please don't lie, say

Show your true thoughts!”

"I..." Fatty Mo hesitated.

Li Rui smiled coldly and said, "Do you think, as a boss of the Huaren, will I allow different voices in the team? Mr. Mo, I wish you good development in the league, but definitely not in the Rockets!

”

Although it takes some compensation for fire Fatty Mo, it doesn't matter to Li Rui.

After killing the cancer of Fatty Mo, Li Rui appointed the small shareholder Hao Ming as the general manager. In fact, the general manager Hao Ming is more like a mascot. The team's daily affairs are still the responsibility of the original staff, and the players are involved.

Li Rui must interfere in the transaction.

After all, he knows what kind of geniuses will emerge in the NBA in the next ten years, and knows who is a garbage contract and who is a super value contract.

"Look at these two people." Find out the NBA player roster, Li Rui pointed to the two names on the Golden State Warriors' roster and told Hao Ming, "After this year's transfer market opens, the Warriors may treat them.

If you have some action, you must sign them if you have the chance."

Hao Ming frowned and said, "These two people... are probably some problems, right? The one in front is the rookie that the Warriors are training, and they may not be able to trade. As for the one behind, to be honest, I have also paid attention to him... I can understand what you want

The mood of signing a yellow-skinned player, but his strength is probably not enough to gain a foothold in the NBA. Last season, he only played more than twenty games, and all the data were very poor, so that such a player could occupy a valuable player quota.

It will make the fans feel rebellious, and I hope you can think carefully about it.”

Li Rui smiled faintly: "You just need to keep a close eye on the one in front. As long as the Warriors have the intention to trade, no matter what the price they pay, even the draft picks in the next ten years are fine! As for the one behind, you can just press me.

I mean to sign, try to sign a low-priced long-term contract with the team option."

Hao Ming was confused and didn't understand why Li Rui was so optimistic about these two people, but he was just a small shareholder who held 5% of the shares. Of course, he had to listen to the big boss.

"There is another thing that I really don't know why Fatty Mo chose McHale as the head coach. Did this guy have any achievements before?" Li Rui looked at the name of the team coach, looking in pain.

McHale just signed after the end of last season, and signed a "31" contract. Now if you fire it now, the loss will be too great. However, whenever Li Rui thinks of watching the games he coached in his previous life, he always feels constipated.

Forget it, let this old guy lead the team for a year now. If you can get those two people in your mind next year, and then make drastic restructuring of the team lineup!

Li Rui put forward these opinions on the team's affairs, and the rest was left to Hao Ming to handle at his discretion.

Because he has more important things to do.
