Text Chapter 922 Buying a "Mascot"
After all, Yao Huang is a very old person, and it is almost conceivable that his state has gradually declined. Maybe two or three years later, the Chinese market that the boss wants will be due to Yao Huang's aging, and he needs to find something else to replace it. Now seeing such a Chinese player in the market, Mullin is also based on the boss's commercialization idea, and it will not lose money to bring this player back.
Zhou Jiexi also pointed his finger at his head and thought, this Chinese player named Jeremy Lin, it seems that he only exploded once or twice in the early stage, and then gradually became mediocre, but this guy is still in the San Francisco Bay Area. Very popular with fans, he and the Warriors can be said to be the hometown team.
But it took three or four years for this guy's strength to gradually improve and become stable, at least reaching the level of a player who can earn a living in the NBA. There are so many basketball players in the world, it's really not bad that he, a Chinese, can get mixed up to this level. Compared to that Space Yi, it was much better.
If you gradually get him back, give it a try first, after all, this team is owned by a Chinese American. A closer relationship with him can also ease the tension and adaptability of the young people to the team. In addition, the team's internal management and coaching staff also know some of their plans, so take care of this guy a little bit, maybe he can still practice.
I don't expect to be as awesome as Yao Huang, but no matter what, I have to look like I can earn a middle-class contract. It is also a good choice to be a better role player and keep selling tickets. Only in this way, Jessie Zhou and others will keep him, and the cheap price can be used as a mascot to attract more Chinese and Asian fans.
People always want to find some common sense of identity when they watch football or do anything. If their team has a yellow-skinned boss and a yellow-skinned player, then for Asians, it will become a football they like and identify with. Team up.
If there are better people in the NBA, Zhou Jiexi doesn't mind getting some Japanese or Koreans into the team to add more Asian elements. He bought the team because he likes it, but there are many other things behind the likes. Running a good team is one thing, and using the team as a show to get more influence is the most important thing. If signing a few players of other Asian nationalities can buy a large number of Asians, he doesn't mind if these people are Japanese dogs or Korean dogs.
It is enough that he gets the benefit. In the past two years, there was a Korean player Ha Seung-jin who was a shrunken version of Yao Huang in the nba. He can only put up baskets and rebounds, and even hooks are so-so to so-so.
He is a player who can please Asians, but unfortunately his skills are too poor. In his previous life, he was watching international basketball games in China. In short, it was just like what the media reported. Well, later on, I could only hang out in Korea, although I was doing well.
Let go of this matter first, "Well, what kind of contract is he going to give?" Zhou Jiexi asked.
"We don't know whether he can adapt to the rhythm of the NBA, but I think he will be sent to the training camp for training. If possible, first sign a one-plus-one guarantee contract, and the second year is a team option. We still have The initiative, basically giving an annual salary of 470,000 US dollars, is already a good price. If you still can't meet the minimum requirements of the coaching staff, you can only go to the Development League to train and see if you can. Transfer back to sell begging tickets.” Apparently, Mullin also knows where the main value of this Chinese is.
"He is a graduate of Harvard, so he should have a good view of the playing area and wisdom. If he can use this well, he still has some prospects!" Old Nelson also said. In terms of physical fitness, I still have to exercise now, and the problem of the brain is the key. If you can graduate from Harvard, then your brain should not be bad.
"En!" Zhou Jiexi also nodded, "Since you all think it's okay, let's try it first. Get rid of him as soon as possible, and now the Chinese are a good short-selling item. The draft has been left long ago, and now we don’t need to spend the draft right, just a guarantee contract, I think other teams will also try.”
Everyone sitting there nodded in agreement.
Zhou Jiexi sat and thought for a while, thinking about the future of the team, considering the Korean business market, plus the effect of his own show to attract people. Do you want to get a few other ethnic groups to come over and try? After thinking about it for a while, he still decided to serve politics first.
Although it was disgusting for me to get a Korean to come over, I used this Korean to trap more Koreans and North Koreans, let them consume my products, and be influenced by myself to cast the votes he wanted. It seems that I can earn more in this way, and I can make some political deals to transform Asian residences. Tokyo City, Korea Town, Myanmar, Thailand and other settlements are all good places.
People in the Chinese American Federation have been staring at these positions for a long time and wanted to take a bite. The white Jews in the United States dare not attract the attention of these yellow-skinned and other-skinned ethnic minority settlements. Even Chinatown has been operating for several years without any movement.
The people in the Chinese American Federation seem to have already eaten the big meat of Chinatown. As long as Jerry Brown is in charge, the conditions he agreed to during this period. It will be realized one by one to the members of the Chinese American Federation, and many local political forces in the San Francisco Bay Area are Chinese.
The mayor of San Francisco is of Chinese descent, the speaker of the San Francisco Council is also of Chinese descent, and the secretary general is also of Chinese descent. Members of Parliament, Senators, etc., there are also many ethnic Chinese. Over the past few years, the political power of Chinese Americans has been gradually revealed. What about Zhou Jiexi, a new group of people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s are willing to spend money to support politics, so they slowly let Chinese Americans occupy more locations.
After the approval of the governor of California, it is the local government. On the one hand, the Chinese are confident of receiving support. They not only have the support of these Chinese political forces, but also people of other ethnicities. Just like the rich Chinese who spend money to support them, eggs cannot be put in one basket. For the rich to spend more money, it is important to pay more politicians.
Zhou Jiexi also has a good relationship with the Republicans. If the Democratic Party can't make it after O'Hei leaves, it is certain that he will switch to the Republican Party. Maybe after O'Hei abdicates for one term, he will become a new adviser to the new president in the lower realm for re-election. Just like the morals of politicians, the morals of businessmen never need politicians to worry about them.
In the future, those settlements of other ethnic groups in major cities will be good places to build high-end residential areas, or office buildings, or commercial areas, shopping plazas, etc., are all good places.
How to do these? In addition to dealing with those local people, it is to obtain the support of the government. Here is the support of the local government, including the local ruling team, local councilors and senators. Even if a person is the Secretary-General of the House, he still has a constituency of his own, and the people in this constituency support him to become a member, and then he got this position. (See U.S. Election Law for details)
After thinking about a lot of things, Zhou Jiexi made some plans. A guarantee contract worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, signed for one and a half years, is still the team's option, so it doesn't seem like much loss.
This gang of north and south stickmen is notoriously arrogant and arrogant, but they are very united. He has a strong sense of identity with the same kind, and it is already June, and he can use this Korean to hype and show for four or five months. When the California governor's vote is clear in November, he won't be needed here.
Get over to shake hands and take pictures with Chinese congressmen who are close to you, and then shake hands with California candidates and take pictures. I’m taking him to Koreatown in cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles to do publicity, see if he has a good relationship with these people, do public welfare activities, plant trees and bury the soil to care for children and so on, and canvass for our candidates.
Well, there is something wrong. Zhou Jiexi didn't care about anything else, Yao Huang planned to use it like this, not to mention that this Korean stick, as the current candidate's campaign consultant, intends to be the president's campaign consultant next time, it doesn't take a little effort to set up some models After the case came out, how could he reflect the value of Zhou Jiexi.
So he looked at his management and said to the coaching staff: "I remember there was a little Korean giant like Yao Huang in the NBA before?"
Mullin looked at old Nelson, he nodded and looked at Zhou Jiexi and said, "Well, he was selected by the Trail Blazers, but after he was sent to the Bucks, he was waived and returned home due to injuries."
"En!" Zhou Jiexi nodded and looked at the management to consider what to say. After thinking about it, I feel that I am the boss and just say it myself. What to do is the employee's business. So he said: "I think this person still has some market value. You go to investigate and see if there is any value you can provide to us. Even if it is a little short, but if you sign a guarantee contract or ten days and a half months, you can get at least three months." One month is fine, if you have any objections in the middle, you can directly lay off, and I will personally pay for the buyout fee."
As soon as he said this, many people in the conference room looked at him inexplicably. Old Nelson was already a little angry. He wanted to say something with his violent temper, but was suppressed by Mullin. After three months, Mullin had already thought of what the boss wanted to do.
He is a campaign consultant for a candidate for governor. Now it may take more than a month to negotiate a contract with this Korean, and it may take more than a month to participate in the training camp. After three months, the voters have almost voted, so what will happen? Things don't matter anymore.
"Politics!" Mullin mouthed to Old Nelson softly, but that made the old guy stop. The boss wants to buy a player who can get votes and ask him to give him a guarantee contract. Are you still in this situation? Say no, or say you quit?
