0431 The king is saved
"Why?"
Confirm that Su Yang was not joking, Jeffrey raised his eyebrows and asked, thinking that I have been working for the King for so many years and the president of the league personally recommended it. Although you are the boss, you have to give a reason, otherwise you will sue the court, which will be a large amount of compensation.
The staff next to him stared at Su Yang with wide eyes, with a slightly anxious expression, as if he wanted to say, boss, you made a mistake, some of them were filled with righteous indignation, as if they were empathetic with Jeffrey. Why did they say that they would be fired if they were fired, and whether they were talking about the law?
Su Yang looked at Jeffrey David carefully again, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, national face, and his image was quite decent. Thinking about it, he was very friendly when he smiled before, and it was indeed difficult to associate it with corruption criminals. If there was no definite evidence, rash accusations would probably be futile.
"Why? Why don't we contact the Sacramento Sports Partners you founded yourself?"
Jeffrey's face suddenly changed, and he immediately said, "Sorry, I'll go and resign immediately. I'll give up all compensation and compensation, and promise not to talk about anything about the Kings." After that, he walked out of the office in shame, like a rat crossing the street.
The incident happened too quickly, and several young men and girls in the revenue department did not react. Jeffrey suddenly gave up on resisting, which made them dizzy. Even Jeff Petri, who had been working for decades, had a look of confusion.
Su Yang was too lazy to explain in detail, so he said: "You can tell the staff of other departments what happened just now, and I am a reward for those who have contributed, who can complete the task steadily, and dismiss the team to drag their backs on their feet, or even commit crimes.
I will take charge of the king from today, and many things will change, but the above three points will not change. If there is anything wrong in the past, please leave yourself. I don’t want to make it too ugly. I have already obtained the evidence. Jeffrey David is the case..."
In fact, there is not much evidence, mainly because it is to shock the mountains and shake the tigers, and it is best to scare away those who are incompetent and criminal. If you really want to appoint and remove them, you have to investigate.
Several young men and girls nodded repeatedly, and Su Yang continued: "After all the personnel are confirmed, I will ask the labor department to conduct a salary assessment. I promise to only increase but not reduce the official announcement will be issued later in the name of the team chairman."
"Thank you, boss!" Several young men and girls applauded and cheered. Su Yang smiled and turned around, leaving the revenue department with Petri.
Then the two went to the sales department, marketing department, publicity department, customer service department, season ticket and ticket operation department, entertainment department, community department, public relations department, commercial development department, radio and television, human resources department, resources department, finance department, and greeted him and went through the motions.
The entire Kings team, excluding temporary employees such as cheerleaders and employees of relevant departments of basketball affairs, has a total of 152 people. If coaches, trainers, scouts, equipment departments, away travel, nutritionists, etc. are included, the total number is close to 300.
"There are so many people, it will be very difficult to manage..."
Su Yang returned to the boss's office and thought about it, and decided to accept David Stern's recommendation and invited Chris Granger, who is currently the executive vice president of NBA and specializes in the ball marketing market, to serve as the general manager of Kings' business affairs, and to the same level as Sam Sinki, the general manager of basketball affairs, to report major affairs to himself. He thought that the position of president who used to be the boss of Petri who was under the same boss and was in charge of business and basketball affairs was no longer established, so that management would become flat and avoid wasting a lot of manpower and material resources at the same time.
Chris Granger did a good job and helped many teams sell tickets better last season. Unfortunately, he failed in the competition with Xiao Hua and was unable to take over as the league president in the future. The idle prince had no choice but to move to the team to continue his struggle.
With Chris Granger in charge of business affairs, he can better focus on team building, and there is no need to worry that Chris Granger will do something wrong. He directly finds people who have worked with him for several years to serve as financial directors and conducts reviews.
Making up his mind, Su Yang sent a long-written email, officially reported to the NBA Council, and sent it simultaneously on Twitter.
"At this moment, I am very honored to announce that I have officially become the owner of an NBA team. I would like to thank the Oklahoma City Thunder owner Mr. Leyton, and Lakers boss Jerry Bass, I have learned a lot from you. In the future, I will work with Sacramento fans and all the Kings staff to build the team into one of the NBA representatives..."
Emails and tweets were sent, and many team agents or bosses responded politely to express their welcome. Among them, Kuban's words are the most sincere, while the four teams, Thunder, Suns, Celtics and Heat, did not respond at all, and their attitude was self-evident.
On Twitter, Durant reposted and commented liked: "amazing! Congratulations to the Kings players, welcome the boss who knows the most about NBA history, especially those who are difficult to reflect through data. You will not be buried like before. Those capable but lack confidence don't have to worry that no one will find out. If you deliberately grab the ball and swipe the data, you will experience the pure joy of high school basketball again. I also want to recommend those rookies who are about to be selected by the Kings..."
Kobe also tweeted and congratulated, and LeBron, Westbrook, Harden, Aldridge, Gasol and others also tweeted one after another.
After posting Twitter, Su Yang met with the heads of the three departments in the office in the marketing, sales and publicity to have an in-depth discussion on the Kings' vision and prospects for the new season and the next few years, and at the same time, a preliminary examination of whether the three have qualified talents.
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the scout team formed by Blache, the trainer team formed by Phil Handy, the basketball affairs general manager team formed by Sam Sinki, and Snyder and McMillan who had left the job gathered at the training base.
The human resources department came up with the employment contract prepared in advance and took turns to apply for the job. Su Yang signed and approved it continuously.
Considering that he still wants to lead the team, Su Yang did not give Snyder the position of head coach, but promoted Snyder's annual salary to three million US dollars, and at the same time gave McMillan one and a half million annual salary to ensure that McMillan will not be easily poached by other teams.
All signings were completed until after 7 o'clock, and Su Yang took the whole team to the hotel booked in advance to celebrate the simple gathering.
Chris Granger, general manager of business affairs, hurriedly attended the event, holding a wine glass to congratulate him, and suggested: "You can acquire a five-star hotel. The price of a city like Sacheng is relatively low, which is very helpful for the team to hold events on a regular basis and will not affect the hotel operation. Since you plan to fully develop the Sino-US tourism market, tourists come to Sacheng and sign up to stay in your hotel..."
“Good idea…”
Su Yang is really moved. Just imagine that domestic aunt tourists come to Sacheng and take over their own hotels, plus shopping in the mall, and not talk about how much profit they provide, at least they will be much better than the local market for Sacheng. If the investment is small, you can do it completely.
Anyway, MT will sell billions of dollars and there will be so many stocks, which is a good idea to maintain value and increase capital by using it in industry.
The celebration lasted until the early morning. Su Yang saw off his last employee and took his assistant Taylor's car to the high-rise, finely decorated large flat-floor apartment he had bought before. He originally wanted to buy a country villa, but Sass City is not Los Angeles. The location of those villas is really remote and you have to drive for a long time. It is better to live in a wealthy area in the city to facilitate commuting and rush to the airport.
There is no way, Sacramento is at the third-tier level in China, because it is close to Los Angeles and San Francisco, and the attractiveness is too low.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Su Yang drove to the training base again and checked the construction of the new stadium and the construction of the new training base with the staff sent by Sa City Hall. The city hall said that the construction will be started soon, as long as the funds can be quickly in place.
Su Yang had previously prepared to build a new stadium, promising to remit money within three working days to improve the construction speed. It is best to check in before the start of the 15th season. After all, the stadium of the Sleep Train is too dilapidated and will reduce the increase in ticket prices.
The talks lasted throughout the morning. During lunch break, assistant Taylor called: "Boss, the Lakers have made up for your basic salary in the past two seasons, and the bonus for winning this championship is transferred together, totaling more than 5 million US dollars. What should you do?"
"Transfer to the MT company account." Su Yang made a decision easily. Five million US dollars is considered a small amount of money, so he sprinkled water.
After lunch, check the speech, and then, in the name of the team chairman, a resolution was issued to reevaluate the salaries of employees in the business department. Then, according to the plan formulated previously, it was announced that starting from the league settlement on July 10, the salary and compensation of all part-time personnel for the Kings will be greatly increased, including but limited to cleaning staff, cheerleaders, security personnel, caddy, etc.
News of appointing Sam Sinki and Chris Granger was also released at the same time, and many workers praised Su Yang's decision crazily.
Media such as espn followed up and reported that the relevant popularity was higher than the top pick, and they had never seen such a generous boss.
Chapter completed!
