0430 You are fired
Su Yang did not attend the Lakers Carnival Celebration Party. As a qualified ex, he quietly left like he was dead.
He did not handle the resignation in person, and directly notified his assistant Taylor to announce his withdrawal from the contract in the name of the agency, and publicly resigned from all relevant positions of the Lakers. He then published a thank-you letter written two weeks in advance, completely breaking up with Los Angeles.
"Thank you! Los Angeles! From the first day I came here, you have welcomed me and my company openly. I also want to thank the Bass family, the team management, the training team, the entire coaching staff, as well as all the players and all the fans. I sincerely thank you for giving me this precious opportunity, thank you for your support from beginning to end, and I will always remember this experience!"
The thank-you letter was sent on the Lakers' championship night, not that sad, and a large number of fans wished him a better success at the Kings.
At noon the next day, NBA officially announced that it had completed the transaction of Su Yang's acquisition of the King and passed the review and released all rights.
Su Yang flew to Sacramento simultaneously and entered the King's Training Base. In the office of the former boss, the Maruf brothers, began to perform his duties as the King's Chairman and CEO. His first task was to meet with King's President Jeff Petri.
"Time flies so fast. At the beginning, I was worried that you had too little experience and could not convince the public. I didn't expect that a few years later, you became the boss of the King..." Jeff Petri looked complicated and took the initiative to mention whether Su Yang could be the head coach of the King in 2008.
"Thirty years in Hedong, five years in Hexi, don't bully the young man..."
Su Yang joked casually, and regardless of whether Petri could understand it, he instead invited Petri as the team's special counsel. He was similar to Jerry West's role in the Warriors. He mainly wanted to use Petri's connections with the Kings and Sacramento for nearly 20 years to better complete the King's reconstruction, and to buy horse bones with a fortune, so that everyone in Sashi City had a clear mind.
A NBA team, in addition to the basketball affairs part, another major part is business. Business operations require the cooperation of sales department, marketing department, publicity department, customer service department, etc., as well as administrative finance and human resources departments.
It is impossible for all staff members from all departments to replace them. It is necessary to avoid the difficulty of team work, especially since many staff members are still in contracts, and early termination of contracts requires a lot of money, and even encounter legal troubles.
Trying to keep it the same as before is the best choice, and Jeff Petri, as a representative of the old employee, can play a demonstration role.
If it were normal, Su Yang would have let Petri leave directly.
But as a boss, you need to consider the overall situation of the team, and the choices are very different. Some irrelevant personal likes and dislikes can be temporarily put on hold. It is even more unreasonable that Petri was not selected as the Kings coach. After all, that is a conventional and reasonable idea.
What's more, Jeff Petri had a good vision. He wanted to choose Kobe at that time in 1996, but Kobe's agent threatened that he would not sign the contract even if he was selected by the King, which led to the Hornets' 13th pick and the Hornets' 14th pick and the Hornets' 13th pick and the Hornets' 14th pick and the Hornets' 13th pick and the Hornets' 14th pick and the Hornets' 13th pick and the Hornets' 14th pick and the Hornets' 13th pick and the Hornets' 13th pick and the Hornets' 14th pick.
Peja later became the King's Peak Five Tigers, indirectly helping Petri win NBA's General Manager of the Year in 1999 and 2001.
Unfortunately, after the peak of the Western Conference Finals in 2002, the Kings gradually fell into a trough. The former boss, the Maluf brothers, were determined to move out of Sacramento. In addition, they were located in a small city and it was difficult to recruit superstars. The Kings' performance was in a slump and had not had a playoff in many years.
In short, Petri is a qualified basketball businessman. His contract is now expiring, and inviting him to serve as an advisor is a win-win situation.
"I accept your invitation."
Petri agreed readily, "I also want to see what height you can take the king to, I'm very curious."
"Then you will be eye-opening!"
Su Yang confidently promised and instead asked about the operation of some team's main departments, mainly to find out if there are more staff who must be replaced. After all, the chaos in the King's management is a long-term problem, and even led to many thrilling scandals.
For example, in 2009, the deputy director of the Kings scouting department for eight years, a Chinese Mailijia was found to have participated in small-scale betting, which had a huge negative impact on the Kings. The profits of commercial endorsement declined severely and were isolated by many scouts.
Su Yang has decided to replace the Kings' entire scouting department and re-organize it with Blanche, a colleague of the Thunder, because of preparations in advance, Blanche has formed a team and only needs to sign a formal contract to start scouting work.
"Revenue Director Jeffrey David is a likable guy, and many colleagues trust him very much, and you should also..."
When Su Yang almost burst out laughing when he heard what Petri said.
In addition to the kick-off scouting department, another decision he had to decide was to replace the head of the revenue department, Jeffrey David, who had forged the signatures of the Kings many times in his previous life, and then misappropriated the two important sponsors of the Kings to $13.4 million in cash.
It can be seen how chaotic the management of the king led by the Indian boss Ranadave in his previous life was that he actually forged his signature!
Su Yang naturally wants to avoid the same thing happening again. The key is that the guy named Jeffrey David is the league president David Stern. In 2012, he was specially appointed as the King's revenue director. I don't know what Stern is thinking.
From the perspective of the Rebirth, Stern appointed Jeffrey David as the King's revenue director, probably because Jeffrey David once served as the King's vice president of corporate relations and private marketing consultant. Later, he went to work in NBA. He has rich experience and connections, and is sleek. He can actually make an old fox like Stern like to be trusted, and his personal image is indeed friendly and honest.
Su Yang thought about it carefully. Although the former boss of the King, the Maruf brothers, were crazy, they were indeed very miserable. There were insiders in the scouting department and the revenue department. Even if they didn't think about moving the King out of Sacramento, it would be difficult for the King to revive the glory of those years in 99-02.
Haven't made any money!
If you have poor performance, can't you lose money all year round?
The most fucking thing is that Jeffrey David’s first embezzlement income actually came from the famous Chinese sneaker brand Peak.
The way of embezzlement is to ask Peak staff to divide the advertising expenses into three transactions and remit money to a shell company called "Sacramento Sports Partners". They did not enter the Kings account, but also advertised Peak, which can be said to be a deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates.
The reason why it can be done is to take advantage of the omissions in the king's management system and the unreasonable and unlimited trust of many kings.
It can be called Sacramento Yu Zecheng!
Although it is only $30,000, the nature is too bad. Su Yang doesn't want to stay Jeffrey David for a quarter of an hour.
Chapter completed!
