NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 59 Tom Benson
As a businessman, no matter how irrational a businessman is, he will regard making money as his top priority.

After all, Marx's famous quote is here.

"When the profit reaches 10%, they will be eager to move; when the profit reaches 50%, they will take risks; when the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample on all laws in the world; when the profit reaches 300%, they dare to risk hanging."

Schwartz cited a data that can indirectly reflect the great value of Chen Xiao.

马赛克队拥有大姚的几年，年收入从2002年的8200万涨到了2009年的1.6亿，涨幅超过95%。

市值也从2002年的2.55亿涨到了2010年的4.95亿，涨幅超过94%。

Compared with the increase of less than 60% in the overall market value of NBA teams (except Mosaic) in the past few years, it is obvious that the increase of Yao's team is even more gratifying.

And don't look at Houston as the first city in Texas and the fourth largest city in the world.

But for Houston's football market, I believe that fans who have watched the game should understand it.

One word, poor.

Then it is obvious who is related to the increase in the relevant data of the Mosaic team.

"So, I think whoever gets the No. [-] pick, whether it's Benson or Michael Kors, won't hesitate to take you.

If you want to go to New Orleans, OK, then we don't need to do anything.Just wait for the day of the draft.

If you want to stay in North Carolina, then we need to make some moves with Michael.

As the team with the worst record, coupled with the influence of Maikou and the fact that you can drive the ball market in the surrounding areas of North Carolina and the huge market that has been proven behind it, it may not be able to break the tacit understanding between Stern and Benson. (Obviously, it is impossible for this kind of private granting and receiving to be left in plain text)

Other teams, such as the Cavaliers and Wizards, are not much better than the Hornets and Bobcats, and it is difficult to get the pick that can select you.

As for the teams that are further behind, this year, there is obviously no possibility of an upset. "

Schwartz spoke slowly and forcefully in detail.

This is the key point why Chen Xiao values ​​Schwartz. As a manager, he will not dictate to him, but more as a supplement to his own ability, as an executor.

Or it may be that Chen Xiao's resume and Dayao's example are more convincing than other black players, and they are more reassuring to the agent?
Chen Xiao stroked his chin, pondering.

Hornets or Bobcats, New Orleans or Charlotte.This is a problem.

The conditions of the two teams are actually the same. They are both small and transparent teams in the league.

These two teams are still very close, and fans who are not familiar with it may even confuse them when they mention these two teams.

"Jeff, you go to find out how the two teams perceive and position me, and find Benson and Mike.

It would be best to facilitate a direct conversation between me and them. "

From the bottom of Chen Xiao's heart, it may not matter which team he goes to.

Personally, he is not so interested in the feasting and feasting of big cities. Regardless of whether it is the economy or the exposure, with the popularization of the Internet, small cities are not as vulnerable as before.

Moreover, the overall economies of New Orleans and Charlotte are not bad, and they are the largest cities in their respective states.

The football market of the two teams is average at present, but what you need to know is that the fans are not fools. Except for the giants with a deep foundation, who would buy tickets for a team that only wins single-digit games in a season and only has cats and dogs?
Before Jordan took charge of the Bulls, although Chicago was one of the largest cities in the United States, the Bulls' ball market could be described as bad, not stronger than the current two teams.

Minnesota of the Wolverines is also the same. Before Garnett was selected, the average home audience of the Timberwolves in 94 was less than 1, and then it immediately soared to 4, nearly 1. In the playoffs, it reached the maximum capacity of the arena.

Therefore, it is reasonable and excusable for the Timberwolves to offer a large contract of 1.26 million dollars for "Big Tickets" Garnett, which was a sky-high price at the time.

Besides, as long as Chen Xiao himself is ready to perform decently, and the market behind him is enough for him to hold money in sacks, let alone perform well, it will be like Qin Shihuang touching the wires-winning numbness.

I am strong enough, coupled with the powerful radiation behind the market (emphasis! These two words need to be tested), and the advent of the Internet age, it will not be difficult to find capable helpers.

Even in the worst case, 3 or 4 years are wasted, and at the age of 23 four years later, at least the level has been trained.

It's been 6 years since the basketball god won his first championship.

As a rookie, if you develop your strength, you can go anywhere in the world.

Chen Xiao doesn't have the idea of ​​"one person, one city". We are just migrant workers here, so we don't have the time to be loyal to one or the other.

You are not kind to me (in my opinion), then I will run away with a bucket.

If the cooperation goes smoothly and you get along happily, then you can talk about warmth.

But Chen Xiao was deeply impressed by a sentence he said when he read Liangjian before, "Those who don't plan for the whole world can't plan for a moment; those who don't plan for the overall situation can't plan for a region."

At the beginning, it is still necessary to plan and plan as much as possible, and move around in a limited space.

Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds if you don't have to run around and get honors big and small.

……

"Tom, this is Jeff. I want to talk to you about Chen now."

"Chen? It's only April, Jeff. The draft is still far away, and the lottery hasn't even started yet. And these are all about Dell."

"Ha, Tom. We are old acquaintances too, don't be like this okay? Who doesn't know that you are a workaholic who does it yourself. From a poor boy to a billionaire, you are simply the protagonist of the bad country dream.

You won't tell me that you're going to choose Chen's defeated general, will you? "

"It's not up to us. The lottery has not come out. Of course, if we can draw a good lottery, we are willing to take Chen. I saw him perform at the Superdome."

"OK, if possible, Chen would like to chat with you, he would like to know more about New Orleans and the Hornets."

"No, Jeff. It won't be too late when all the dust settles on these matters. Maybe he can talk to Dale then."

"du~du~du~"

Hearing the beeping sound from the microphone, Schwartz put down the microphone.

He spread his hands to Chen Xiao, indicating that this time the progress was not going well.

And Chen Xiao, who had been listening to the loud voice all the time, also frowned slightly, with a serious expression on his face.

"Benson was a guy who built a huge New Orleans sports logo from scratch as a car salesman. He did it all himself, and on the Saints, he was a tyrant.

It can be expected that in the Hornets, he still has the final say on all matters large and small.

He believes in the old-school business philosophy, the boss does the boss's business, and the players do the players' business.You know.

By the way, Dell is the current general manager of the Hornets. "

"So, he asked me to talk to Dell after I was selected, just to talk?"

"If there are no accidents, yes."
