Chapter 1201: Fast horses don't need whips, and drums
"Haha ... this guy, it really pleases the fans."
Andy looked at the newly-shaved Rocket head and the shape of the Rocket logo, and laughed and laughed.
The video conference crowd also laughed and shook his head with the laughter of the big boss. The naughty side of the team's newest Artest also made everyone feel his excitement about joining the new owner.
Also, the current Rockets lineup can be said to shock the entire league and become a hot favorite to win the championship this season. Although the trade away from McGrady has caused a period of confusion and fan blaming, but the deal came to Cameron. Anthony also eased the anger of the fans slightly, but Dayao couldn't lie down. Some media criticized that Dayo and McGrady had a stalemate last season. The team management chose to trade McGrady for Dayao. No doubt many fans have some misunderstandings about Dayao.
The management naturally came out to rumor the first time, accusing the media of being irresponsible, nonsense, Barabara said that for the championship, the Rockets need to make more salary space, strengthen the team's lineup and the like ...
With the trade coming to Artest, formed by the Big Four of Dayao, Changlu and Anthony, the Rockets immediately became the league's favorite to win.
Of course, the happiest is undoubtedly the Rockets fans in Houston and around the world. They have a crazy feeling, and have left messages on the official website, saying that they love the big boss, Andy Smith, who is not bad for money.
With the formation of the Rockets' giant lineup, this will inevitably make the NBA competition more intense, of course, the game will be more exciting.
"Boss, the ticket sales this season are very hot, and many fans have left messages to let the team sell playoff tickets ..."
When Andy heard the good news, he naturally smiled very happily, watching Morey said: "Are the fans complaining about the ticket price increase this season?"
"Although the ticket price of the 90-dollar secondary market has increased notably, compared to the 97-dollar for a 22-game winning streak, fans can still accept it, especially the boss. You are very much affected by the reduction in parking fees and various food and beverage prices. Fans are welcome. To be honest, the ticket price of the entire league except the Knicks and Lakers is acceptable to other team fans. The key is the parking fee. The price of food and drinks in the stadium is very popular. Our blame. "
Andy just smiled and shook his head for Morey's words. Of course, he knows that this is actually no way out. The market is good or bad. He can only reduce the ticket price and let the surroundings make up the difference in football tickets. Otherwise, this season nba The average ticket price of the league cannot be as low as $ 49. There is no way but to force the teams to kill the fans from food and beverage and parking fees.
You know, the tickets for the NBA teams are flexible and can be adjusted at any time. According to the number of players and opponents, all prices will change accordingly. For a game between the Rockets and Mavericks, the parking fee will be 49.99. The US dollar is 30 US dollars higher than the usual 19 US dollars.
The Rockets have become one of the top teams in the league. Four All-Star players, the ticket price increase is understandable. Even so, sales are still hot, not to mention the ticket against the Lakers up to $ 120, against the Cavaliers $ 137, and Celtics' $ 159 high-priced ticket has long been sold out!
"Oh, my superstar strategy seems to be working very well!" Andy said with a slight smile, proudly, making everyone in the video conference agree with a smile, although the luxury tax is a bit painful, but the hot ball City and surrounding big sales, everyone really agrees with the superstar strategy.
"Bob, is there no problem with our little melon?" Andy asked with a smile, looking at Bob Myers, who was most in charge of the team's transactions and was promoted to the team's deputy manager.
"Boss, there's no problem with Cameron. Anthony is a kind, kind, low-key, good-looking guy. Although he is somewhat temperamental and childish, he is more virtuous.
I talked to him about the boss of the team and he was very happy to be able to join the Rockets. He is undoubtedly the most likely to achieve his championship ideals. He is not very exclusive to Changlu's boss status, and He now plays the role of shooting guard, which pleases him.
Of course, the main thing is that his personality is a bit flawed, that is, the lack of determination when deciding on major matters, as long as he adjusts his psychological gap, the child's temper, just coax ...
"Haha ..."
"Ha ha……"
Both Andy and everyone in the conference room were laughed at by Bob's words.
Seriously, compared to McGrady, Andy prefers the style of play, the style of play is diversified, and the man is handsome and handsome. The little melon that is called the "offensive kaleidoscope" may be because of the Red Hook House in the messy Brooklyn district of New York District, that is the gathering place for du vendors.
My melon brothers do n’t talk much about society! Once with his little brother to surround Garnett, he forced Garnett to bow his head and admit it ...
But when thinking about trading Little Melon, Andy worried that the Rockets' locker room would be in turmoil again because of the team boss, but a word from Bob Myers finally dispelled Andy.
That is the little melon "talent without temperament"! Such things as leadership temperament are not good temperament, good popularity, and good playing skills can be substituted. The kind of sacrifice oneself, throw a bet, when the most difficult, you can carry the decisiveness and decisiveness of the entire team. It is the locker room boss of an NBA team that must have.
The little melon character is a bit indecisive, lacks determination, and lacks resistance to stress. Although he is a tough guy, it is easy to give up in adversity.
"Stabbed Artest ..."
"Oh, boss, rest assured, that guy is very smart, and once he consciously leaned against Changlu, he got along well with Dayao. Dayao also worried about Artest's temper ..."
After hearing Bob's introduction, Andy nodded with satisfaction. After all, this was a bunch of bad boys. Changlu itself is not a good bird. Artest is a beast. Dayao is an honest child.
If Nima had a conflict on the court, and the picture was too beautiful, she would not dare to think ...
But this is also good. Only **** players can play a passionate game. Dayao, who doesn't like to engage in trouble, will never have to worry about being provoked.
The video conference is over. Andy did not reiterate what he won. He believes that everyone in the conference room understands that the big bosses equipped the Rockets with this ultra-luxury lineup. What results do they need to pay back for the big boss .
The second round of the playoffs? Regular season champion? Hehe, only Larry O'Brien's championship trophy is worthy of the big boss's capital investment. If you ca n’t get it, Morey, the general manager, is afraid to think about it. Maybe you can forgive it if you do n’t get it in the first year. If he can't get it the next year, he can roll it out!
Fast horses don't need whips, and drums don't need heavy hammers. Everyone is smart, and Andy doesn't need to say anything.
"咚咚"
Andy lifted his head and glanced at the editor of Newsweek, Jon Mitcham, who walked into the office. He nodded slightly and said, "Sit down first, I'll read this report."
"Okay, boss." Jon Mitcham put the folder in front of him, waiting quietly, and a little assistant Tori brought in two cups of coffee.
Snapped.
Andy threw the signature pen in his hand on the desk, frowned, took a sip of coffee, looked at Jon Mitcham and said, "The circulation in the third quarter has decreased significantly and it has reappeared. Losing money, Jon, I need an explanation. "
Jon Mitcham explained with a wry smile: "Boss, in addition to the expansion of the Internet and online reading groups, the most important thing is the increase in printing costs. In the current economic situation, advertising revenue has fallen, although we still have some high-quality customers in Tianchao However, after all, our circulation is too large, and we have increased the Asian version. To support the circulation of 5 million copies, losses are unavoidable. We have tried everything to reduce unnecessary capital expenditures. .
For example, the "ban on color printing" order, the company stipulated that except for some external documents, all documents are printed in black and white only. It stipulates the quality of each department. Cancel overseas business trips and change all to video conferences ... "
