After the draft, the two sides held a negotiation, and within an hour, they broke up and did not reach any consensus.

　　 Prior to this, although there were many disputes between employers and employees, they never delayed a regular season. This exception, because the official negotiations have not yet begun, the player union chairman, Ewing's public speech directly forced the labor into a disadvantage.

　　 Stern made it clear: "The salary of NBA players is much higher than that of ordinary people, and it should not be required more."

　　Ewing can answer in countless ways, but chose the most mindless sentence: "Yes, we earn a lot, but we spend a lot."

　　 There are a lot of fans called Ewing "Gorilla" for a long time. Suddenly this summer, Ewing's IQ deteriorated to the point of orangutan.

　　 Ask the world pig teammates what? The players just want to say, that’s it.

　　 In this way, the audience will not sympathize with the players at all, but think that this is just "a game between the multi-millionaires and the billionaires." The superstars are all greedy and hopeless.

　　 Even if the final negotiation is completed, the NBA brand image will definitely be affected to a certain extent.

　　 The focus of NBA labor negotiations is how much NBA players can be divided into game revenue. According to regulations, if this ratio exceeds 52%, it should be renegotiated, and their share of the previous season has reached 57%.

　　Even so, the representatives of the player unions are still not satisfied, hoping to eventually get a 63% share ratio, and then they are willing to adjust the wage rise.

　　Of course, the boss won't agree. Are they still the boss? It's simply working for the players.

　　The salary of the superstar is not capped, but also want to fight for the benefits of a group of young men under their own hands, so that they can also get a high salary, really take the boss as a cash machine?

　　 This kind of superstar is not short of money, without playing fortune and enough to eat for several lifetimes, unfortunately marginal people, players with the lowest salary.

　　 This rookie is very depressed, and finally left the campus to make money, but encountered this kind of thing.

　　On July 1, the NBA officially entered a lockout period. Not only are the stadiums closed, but even the official NBA website is closed, fans cannot see photos and news of the stars from the official website. The agreement stipulates that NBA officials have no right to use any player's pictures and text materials during the lockout period, and the team is also the same.

In addition, the free market is closed. The team cannot conduct any trade negotiations, sign players and trade players, players cannot use the team’s training facilities for any reason, and the team cannot hold summer training camps, exhibitions, training, teams Meetings and coaching sessions.

　　 The most painful rule is that international players with contracts cannot represent the national team to participate in the game. It is just this summer that the men’s basketball world championship will be held. The American Dream Team lineup can’t get together and it is difficult to win the championship.

　　Some poor players rushed out to find work, first to work part-time to support their families.

　　 Those who have not signed a formal contract with any team in the NBA are completely free agents and rookie players, but they can play and earn extra money during the lockout period.

　　 Brad Miller is such a "lucky man", the draft is lost, he can go wherever he likes.

　　 Even better, he also received a call from the Raptors management on the second day of the draft, expressing his willingness to give him a base salary and let him play for the Raptors in the new season, even with no worries.

　　 Yang Rui has nothing to do, just play every day.

　　On this day, Thomas Bentley came back from get off work and said to Yang Rui: "To you, I have cleared all stocks."

　　 "OK, when are you going to buy it back?"

"Depending on the situation, the adjustment is not far away now. The Asian financial turmoil that started last year is not over yet. International speculators have launched a new round of attack on Hong Kong, and the Hang Seng Index is plummeting. US stocks cannot be affected at all... , Now selling the most insurance."

　　 Yang Rui nodded, admiring Thomas's ability even more, he avoided the coming plunge.

　　His success is based on advanced vision, Thomas is a real genius.

　　He doesn't understand stocks, but he knows that in the future, something big will happen this year. U.S. stocks experienced a shocking reversal in 1998, first plunging 33% from July to October, and then led the market to counterattack, rushing nearly 6,000 points from more than 1,400 points.

　　Thomas talked about his work, and even thought about what to do after the adjustment, that is, to continue to work with Cisco Systems. Now that the computer industry is too hot, there is already a new term called "netizen", and it is absolutely right to buy related to the Internet.

　　 This theory is completely correct. Cisco is doing Internet solutions, equipment and software products. It started to grow in 1996. By 2004, it had more than 35,000 employees worldwide and became a super giant with a single annual turnover of more than 22 billion US dollars.

　　 Two people made a big profit before, and now Cisco's stock price is not high, more than 13 dollars a share. If you bought it, you would lie down and take the money and ship it before the US stock market crash in 2000. The stock price must be more than 50 yuan.

　　Thomas is here, after waiting for the limelight, they can happily bargain.

Yang Ruijin’s life is stress-free, and he doesn’t care how much the Raptors can pay. Even if he only stocks, he will be a rich man in the future. Coaching is purely a pursuit of fame and pleasure. lightnovelpub.net~ But he is not Feeling satisfied and want to make more money to facilitate future investment. Even if their funds are now in full positions, they cannot earn more than 2 million in the short term. They can buy and sell one after another in the future, but it is difficult to obtain huge profits.

　　 No way, the principal is too little.

　　What can we do before November to double or even more funds? Yang Rui thought hard.

　　He doesn't want to always rely on Thomas to make money, but as a rebirth, he hugs his friend's thigh, which is too wasteful. In his last life, he has lived a dull life.

　　He remembered the lines in the movie "Neverending". "The only problem is that if I don't make progress, I will feel the pain."

　　A person may be more successful without doing it, it is decadent.

　　Yang Rui received a phone call from Thibodeau when he was thinking about making money at home.

　　 "Jerry, what are you busy with?"

　　 "Stupefied at home, I don't know what to do if I stop." Yang Rui sighed.

　　 "Come out for dinner? Call Little Tom, I'm making money, please." Thibodeau smiled.

　　The three met and chatted. It turned out that Thibodeau bought football betting. Last night, the World Cup semi-final, France won Croatia 2-1 and he made a profit.

　　 "As coaches in sports circles, can we participate in gambling? Will the money made by the media be said to be checked?"

Thibodeau shook his head and smiled: "What do you want? We are not betting on the NBA to manipulate the game, but just buying football betting. This is a hobby. Who will check? Even David Stern, does he still Can you control the Football World Cup?"

　　 Interlaces like mountains, of course Stern can't control football. Yang Rui's thoughts became hot. "Is it just bought casually?"

　　PS

　　Resuming three changes today, the second chapter will be sent at 11 o'clock, for recommendation and collection.
