Chapter 490 A Big Fight Between Red, Yellow and Green
"Li, the two of us have been working together for so long. To be honest, you also know that we can't live without you. As for Toby, he also wants to retain you. Maybe what he said today is not beautiful enough, but I still hope you Can...understand him." Gordon was sweating anxiously. Seeing that Toby was still talking nonsense, he immediately held him down and continued to talk.
"Li, believe in our sincerity. You should read this contract first before talking about it. If there are any problems, we can discuss them again. Nothing is more important than this now."
"Okay, coach, stop being such a nice guy."
Li Shengli could glare at Toby, but Gordon was a good coach. He gave enough face on weekdays and tried his best to think about himself on the field, so face had to be sold, but... he picked up the contract on the table and scanned it. After taking a quick look, he gave up on the face he originally wanted to give to Gordon and handed the contract back, "Coach, coach, are you sure you're not playing tricks on me? Is this his sincerity?"
"Huh? What's wrong? Please be considerate. We have tried our best to help you fight for it. You are still not satisfied with the amount..." Gordon took the contract handed over by Li Shengli, but after glancing at it, he looked at the trustee again. Bi, his face was still green at first, but now it is completely yellow, because this is actually an... 82 million contract.
Isn’t it 91 million as promised?
Damn you, Toby, what a fool!
"Don't worry, misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding, this must be the previous contract, Toby...he took it by mistake, yes, he took it by mistake!" Gordon went crazy and immediately grabbed Toby's briefcase, and It was so densely packed with at least four or five contracts that it scared Gordon to the point of peeing.
"85 million, no, not this."
"It's not 87 million, it's not this!"
"90 million, damn, Toby, where did you put that final contract? Take it out quickly!" Gordon had a complete brain congestion and was heartbroken for the Mavericks, but he couldn't stand up to Toby's presence. He's holding back. He doesn't even have the guts to put his cards on the table at the critical moment, and he even works out four or five contracts to delay the fight?
"Li, don't worry, it's not like this. Listen to me and explain to you. It's... it's..."
"No, it's not necessary!" Li Shengli's expression didn't look good from the beginning to the end. Looking at a stack of contracts with various amounts, how could he not understand that Toby still wanted to play some tricks, than Kelt? There is a world of difference between Auerbach and his one-step approach.
"Don't leave yet, don't..." Gordon became anxious and made a last resort.
"You let him go, damn, it's just money." Toby said directly, "Li, remember, greedy people will not end well. Do you think the Lakers and Celtics are your destination?" The day you become worthless, they will strip you clean."
"Don't say a few words when you ride on the horse, you are stupid..."
"No, coach, let him talk and keep talking."
"Okay, now that we're all broken up, I don't need to ask you anymore." Toby stood up from his seat, "Don't think you earned it, just look at the new season. I'm watching you in Dallas. Without you , our Mavericks will still be a playoff team, but if you have a contract as big as others, shouldn't you have higher pursuits? And what I find funny is... the last few seasons have been with the Bulls, It belongs to Jordan. Without a championship, are you worth the 120 million contract?"
Get a big contract?
Should there be higher pursuits?
Toby was right, but Li Shengli was fuming with this attitude, "Damn it, I don't think you're going to be a good person today, and I'm also curious about how you've survived to this day with such an IQ? See No, the door is over there, get out of here, go back to Dallas and show me, next season...I'll get on my horse and beat your face to pieces."
"Humph, you don't overestimate your capabilities? Who of the two groups outside can help you form a lineup to compete with the Bulls next season? There is a limit to self-deception. Do you think you can do it alone? Don't say you'll smash my face. Just don't let the jokes fall off your face." After Toby said that, he accepted all the contracts, and Gordon was heartbroken, smiled bitterly at Li Shengli, and walked out.
…
An anticlimactic meeting.
In fact, the person who doesn't understand the most is Gordon, the head coach.
Li Shengli got a result, and Toby also got the situation he wanted. Only Gordon still thinks Toby is a fool.
Seriously, it's wrong to call Toby an idiot.
Because being able to sit in the position of general manager proves that he has brains, and the current situation is more due to his consideration of keeping his position as general manager.
You know, in the previous negotiations between the Mavericks and Li Shengli, Toby did make too many low-level mistakes. And if the Mavericks lose Li Shengli because of him, whether it is because the contract was too low, the blame must be laid. Let him carry it.
If he wants to keep his position, he will have to find a way to deal with the situation.
The real problem is that his maximum authority cannot open a contract of over 100 million. Even if it is over 100 million, there is still a big gap between the yellow and green tycoons, so he knows very well that this is a negotiation that is destined to be fruitless, and the reason why he is willing to come Here... the first thing is to show off to the team owners and express their attitude of chasing people. As for the direct stalemate and disagreement in the negotiation meeting, this is better explained.
Money and silk touch people's hearts!
Li Shengli abandoned the Dallas Mavericks for a big contract!
It’s not that the Dallas Mavericks gave up Li Shengli to save money!
One by one, the difference between the reputation of these two statements is simply a world of difference. Toby completely removed himself as soon as he took action. Although his appearance is a bit ugly, retaining his position as general manager is the most important thing. , so it doesn’t matter if we break up with Li Shengli.
But overall this meeting... no one suffered a loss, and everyone got the results they wanted.
…
The little abacus is rattling!
Toby headed the Dallas delegation, and his face said everything. The three parties squatting outside could naturally see it clearly. At this time, the result was already clear, and the three leaders almost set off firecrackers to celebrate. The only strange thing was Thompson and the old man. Turner quietly slipped away, leaving only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar behind in the base camp.
"It's over, it's over," Kareem muttered.
Auerbach, who is over seventy years old, clenched his fists and waited for the revival of the old dynasty.
West and Magic have been waiting for too long, and even looking at each other can't suppress their excitement at this time.
Dallas left, and Li Shengli walked out of the room with a dark face. There were not many people in the hall but there was a lot of weight. Everyone stared at Li Shengli silently.
Because the next time he opens his mouth, the whereabouts of super center Li Shengli will be decided.
At the same time, the whereabouts of super center O'Neal will also be decided, and explosive super news and super contracts will appear on this day. The yellow-green war will also start again, but... the yellow-green war may start a little early, and the Bulls are a variable. Still stuck between yellow and green, a traffic light of red, yellow and green has formed, affecting the future direction of the league.
"Li, it's almost done!" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said to Li Shengli who walked out of the room, "Now all the chips are the same, you have to choose one."
"I know, but are you sure you want to be here?" Li Shengli asked.
"It doesn't matter, we Celtics can accept any result!"
"Yes, it's the same with us Lakers. All the trump cards are on the table. Just say it."
