Chapter 358 The Lakers are crazy, Pelinka is crazy, Jenny is crazy

Wang Yi and Nicole had just walked out of the airport and were about to get in to pick up their special car - of course, this car was also contacted by Nicole.

It seems that she has much wider connections in China than Wang Yi.

At this time, Wang Yi's phone rang.

Wang Yi took out his cell phone and saw that it was Rowling's number.

"Sister Luo, is there anything wrong?"

Wang Yi asked.

Rowling said: "Wang Yi, you... were traded."

“…”

At this moment, the smile on Wang Yi's face disappeared instantly.

Although he has been traded many times, Wang Yi never thought that the Lakers would trade himself.

Especially since Pelinka asked herself to cut her salary twice before, she obviously did not intend to trade herself.

Because if you reduce your salary, it will reduce the trading value of the players.

To give a simple example, you can exchange a five-dollar pen for someone else’s notebook worth five yuan.

But if you say that your pen is two dollars, others will only exchange it for two dollars.

Pelinka can't be that stupid.

There must be a deeper reason behind this.

However, as for the reason, Wang Yi was not in the mood to know.

Nicole next to her vaguely heard Wang Yi being traded, and she couldn't help but feel sank in her heart.

He turned his head subconsciously and looked at Wang Yi.

I saw Wang Yi's expression freeze for a moment.

But in just a few seconds, Wang Yi's expression melted.

"Sister Luo, which team will I go to?"

Wang Yi asked.

Rowling replied: "It's a deal involving five teams, and you end up being sent to the Kings."

Wang Yi's heart couldn't help but feel a little tingling.

The Lakers sent him away and endured it.

After all, the NBA is just a business after all.

It is understandable that the boss and manager trade the players for the benefit of the team.

But before the trade, the Lakers actually cut their salary by $8 million.

If I had known that I was going to be traded, how could I have cut my salary?

And they actually sent themselves to a small-market team.

After arriving at the small-scale team, your market value will shrink a lot.

The most important thing is, what kind of team is the King?

In the past decade, there has been no attention.

Moreover, there is no winning culture in the lottery every year.

Pelinka and his boss Jenny Bass sacrificed their own interests for their own benefit.

Haha, it's amazing.

However, Wang Yi quickly accepted his new identity - he has always been very adaptable.

He had made up his mind.

Small ball market?

He is a person who is still biased and does not believe in evil.

I also want to create the greatest value in the small ball market.

Lotto team?

I even insist on taking them to the playoffs and even winning the championship!

No matter what reason the Lakers want to trade themselves, in short, one day, he will make the Lakers regret it!

Let Pelinka and Jenny Bass regret it!

"king?"

Nicole next to him asked.

Wang Yi slowly shook his head: "I'm fine, it's normal to be traded."

Seeing that Wang Yi was not as severe as he thought, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go."

Wang Yi said.

Nicole nodded obediently, followed Wang Yi silently and left the airport.

Meanwhile, at the Los Angeles Lakers Arena, the general manager's office.

At this time, the one sitting in the general manager position was not the general manager Pelinka, but the team's boss Jenny Bass.

As for the team's general manager, Pelinka, he was paced back and forth in the office, with a very solemn expression.

"I don't understand why we have to be the King of Trade? Everyone will think we are crazy!"

His hands were waving quickly, a little exaggerated.

Jenny Bass shook his head and sighed:

"I don't want to. But now the league is in a downturn, and the income of each team has plummeted. Some small-market teams have even suffered losses. The bosses of other teams are fine. They each have other industries, and they don't mainly rely on the team to make money. But I don't have any other industries except the Lakers."

"So for the long-term consideration, I invested in a high-end technology industry. Unfortunately, the investment failed and the debt was nearly $1.2 billion. If I couldn't pay back the money before November, I would have to go bankrupt!"

Pelinka stopped and looked at the beautiful female boss in front of her.

Jenny is pretty, but being a creature doesn’t look at your face at all.

When it comes to doing business, Jenny lacks talent.

Jenny lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and squirted out a smoke:

"Fortunately, I contacted a buyer who was willing to spend 1.5 billion to buy 49% of the team's shares. With this money, I could pay back the debt. But this buyer is a deeply rooted one... In short, he doesn't want to see any Orientals in the team. The only condition for his acquisition of equity is to clear all Orientals in the team..."

"It's so nonsense!"

Pelinka was very excited and all the saliva flew out.

"For this reason, I traded Wang? Which idiot buyer has made such a ridiculous request. What's even more ridiculous is that you actually agreed. As long as you can hold on for another two seasons, the market value created by Wang and the huge Chinese market behind him will make you completely turn over!"

Jenny took a deep breath of cigarette and smiled bitterly:

"I can't wait for a season. If I don't trade the king, I will go bankrupt in more than three months. And no matter how great the king's business value is, can I get me $1.2 billion in one year? Don't worry too much, players are just tools for the boss to make money. Without this tool, can we just change another tool?"

"I think that Westbrook is good. After trading him, his market appeal with LeBron is enough to ensure that we can make money next season."

Pelinka kept shook her head: "But we still need to strengthen. Now that trading the king will lose the credibility of our team, it will be difficult for us to recruit outstanding players."

Jenny laughed when she heard this: "Pellinka, you are also an experienced general manager. As long as we let the public relations team release the wind, Wang Yi goes back on his word, is not satisfied with the annual salary of 20 million yuan, and takes the initiative to ask for a transaction. Wouldn't our reputation be preserved?"

"But... this is not fair to the king."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Jenny laughed: "Pellinka, you, the experienced general manager, shouldn't be so naive. There is no fairness in the business world, only interests. I know you can't do it, so you don't have to worry about it, I will do it."

"But……"

What else does Pelinka want to say?

But Jenny had already stood up and twisted the remaining half of the cigarette into the ashtray.

"That's how it's decided."

After saying that, he walked out the door with great strides.

Half an hour later, the news of Wang Yi being traded quickly spread across the Internet in the United States and China.

Everyone is incredible about this.

"Are the Lakers crazy?"

"I'll go, what's going on? The Lakers aren't having a trick in their brains, right?"

"I will never believe in this world anymore."

Both American fans and Chinese fans have a very consistent attitude towards this matter.

More than two hours later, another news came out: Wang Yi signed with the Lakers and went back on his word. Because he was not satisfied with the annual salary of $20 million, he took the initiative to ask the Lakers for a trade, and the Lakers had no choice but to do it.

As soon as this news came out, the wind direction on the Internet changed instantly.
