Chapter 232 Super Training Camp(1/2)
Author: Lao Majia
Little Adelman was under his father's hands and was hungry for nine times for three days. He had to get some little iron sticks when he had nothing to do. Old Adelman is a typical strict father. He has extremely strict requirements for his son. Little iron sticks are a bit exaggerated, but beating and scolding is common.
Now that he has been following Kong Bu, he has reached the peak of his life.
The head of the coach union, this is the dazzling resume.
The reason Conbu did this is mainly because he knew very well that Adelman Jr. was not in the coaching industry. He wanted to become the team's management, the general manager of a certain team, and the overall power of the team.
Since there is such an opportunity now, he happens to be by his side again, and the wealth is not flowing from outsiders, Kong Bu simply pushes him.
"Thank you for your affirmation and for your trust. I will do this job well and will never disappoint you."
Little Adelman bowed politely to everyone.
"Okay, then let's discuss freely how to pay the membership fee. We will strive to determine it in half an hour." Old Carl clapped his hands and said.
The coaches in the conference room came to Kong Bu's side one after another.
"Kong, thank you, it is definitely his luck that Rick can work under your hands."
Old Adelman said with gratitude, holding Conbu's hand.
Although he doesn't give his son a good look, no parents don't want their children to have a good future.
Old Dunleavy was able to bribe Kong Bu for his son's draft, so he gave him a year's salary to bribe Kong Bu.
At this moment, he was also at the scene, muttering in his heart whether Conbu had collected a large sum of money from Old Adelman, and then recommended his child to serve as a union seat.
"No, old guy, it's my luck to have a helper like Rick."
"He is almost thirty years old, not a child anymore. Sometimes you should think of him as an adult."
Kong Bu said something in his words.
Old Adelman glanced at his son and nodded with a smile.
"By the way, Rick, I am our leader now."
"What do you think about membership fees?" Kong Bu asked.
Adelman, little, quickly shook his head, "I didn't have any ideas for a while, why don't I just tell me a plan?"
He had an idea in his mind, but Kong Bu's annual salary was too high. If he paid the membership fee according to the proportion, he was worried that Kong Bu would be unhappy.
Kongbu's annual salary is as high as a terrifying $25 million, while not many other coaches can reach $5 million.
"Just collect it at one percent of the annual salary. Give it more money if you earn, give it more money if you earn less money." Kong Bu decided to make the decision.
Seeing that Conbu was so happy, others must have no objection. You should know that Conbu needs to pay more membership fees than theirs.
Of course, this membership fee is not paid in vain. The coach will also encounter some unfair treatment in this league.
For example, under normal circumstances, when Larry Brown joined the Knicks in the future, he was cheated by old Thomas. He just found a coach union, and then the union came forward to find a lawyer, negotiated with the league and the Knicks, and got a part of his salary for Larry Brown.
Membership fees are almost the same as protection fees, and the trade union is the protection umbrella.
After the meeting, Conbu followed Adelman Jr. and prepared to leave the headquarters.
Gentry stood at the door, not knowing what he was talking to his son.
Kongbu smiled and said hello, "Young man, do you remember what I said just now? You can now prepare for unemployment insurance."
Gentry and his son were blushing, and they dared not speak out.
Adelman and his son looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Fortunately, their relationship with Conbu has always been very good. Otherwise, the one who dared not speak out now might be the father and son.
"Don't go back to Philadelphia, come and work for me for two months in summer vacation."
"I've held a training camp, you can help me promote it."
"By the way, the newly obtained Memit Oku, he has a contract with the previous team. You can follow up and see what conditions the opponent needs to agree to let Oku go."
"It's acceptable if it doesn't exceed two million US dollars. If it exceeds this number, let Oku wait for another year, and we will sign him again."
"Of course, we don't pay for these two million. We can only pay for 300,000. Let Oku find a way for the rest."
Conbu ordered Adelman little.
"Train camp? God, this news will certainly cause a sensation among those young players."
"There were coaches in the NBA who held training camps before, but the response was not very good, but the training camps held by the boss were different. Who in the world knows that the boss is best at coaching newcomers."
"How much does it cost to enter the camp? I don't think it's too little. There will definitely be countless people who sign up at that time. We need to raise the threshold."
Adelman Jr. said in surprise.
"The entrance fee is one million US dollars, and fifty students are recruited."
Conbu told Adelman in detail about his plan, which was the plan that students had previously imagined to refund their tuition fees when entering the NBA.
After hearing such expensive entry fees, Adelman almost vomited blood, asking you not to be too cheap, but he didn't ask you to directly offer such a sky-high price!
Many NBA players will hold training camps during the offseason to earn some extra money. The training camps for ordinary players are only a few thousand US dollars, and the top-tier stars will only have more than 10,000 US dollars in the sky.
The Kongbu is better, and it is turned hundreds of times when it comes up!
"Boss, this price is a bit too high, maybe only Bill Gates can afford it."
"How about we cut it, how about 50,000 US dollars?"
"With your influence, I think that 50,000 US dollars may be able to attract a hundred people, that is 5 million US dollars. If you deduct the fees of venues, food and accommodation, you can earn at least a net profit of three million US dollars."
Kong Bu Yushu, three million US dollars? Such a small amount of money is not enough for me to worry about.
The reason why he wanted to run this training camp was that on the one hand he wanted to make some money, and on the other hand he was just in time to train the newcomers he selected this year.
If I only earn three million US dollars, I might as well let those newcomers go to Philadelphia for training.
"It's 300,000 US dollars, no less. See how many people sign up. If the number of people is too small, it will be over."
"Three million dollars won't waste my two months of vacation."
"By the way, I won't refund the money when entering the NBA."
"You go find old Thomas. His boss is a TV station. Let him help me advertise on the TV station."
...
Adelman, the little one, was ridiculous and confused. He doubted whether Conbu had traveled through the era of super inflation, with $300,000? For 99% of families, it was a huge sum of money.
According to the Fed's investigation report, forty percent of American families cannot afford 400 US dollars for emergency response, and Adelman Jr. feels that families who can afford 300,000 US dollars and are willing to give out are really rare.
He is ready for no one to sign up.
But he still had to do what he should do, so he contacted Old Thomas directly.
"What? That madman is absolutely crazy, a training camp worth $300,000? He thought he was God?"
"The training camp that God runs is not worth $300,000. What does Conbu teach people how to ask for so much money? Holding missiles with bare hands?"
"It's definitely possible to help, but no one will sign up and make a joke, so don't blame me."
Old Thomas rolled his eyes and was almost turning his eyes out.
That night, the advertisement was aired on James Dolan's TV station.
Everyone who saw this advertisement was frightened by the price, and they doubted whether they had hallucinations.
Some people who had not had such a good relationship with Kong Bu were all happy at this moment, waiting to see Kong Bu’s jokes.
If the last trainee was not recruited by Kongbu, it would be funny. Judging from the price, the possibility of not being able to find the trainee is quite high.
There was a lot of discussion outside, and Kong Bu's phone number was about to be blown up.
He felt that he had been fooled by Adelman's Japanese devils, and the price was still too low, so he should have made a million US dollars.
"Kong, I'm Patrick. I'm going to sign up for my son to your training camp. I hope you will take care of me."
The first call was Ewing the gorilla.
Ewing has not retired yet. Because Ou ran away from the Supersonic last season, Supersonic signed Ewing, but only for a year.
Now Ewing is looking for jobs everywhere.
His son Ewing, Xiao, is also unfamiliar with Conbu. He should be 17 years old now. In 2008, he participated in the NBA draft at the age of 24. He was selected by the Kings in the second round. Unfortunately, he only played for a year and disappeared.
"Okay, old guy, I heard you have left the supersonic?" Kong Bu exchanged a few casual greetings.
But to Ewing, this meant something different. He felt that Conbu wanted to join the Philadelphia 76ers.
If Barkley was so shameless, he might have asked directly on the spot. Ewing had always regarded himself very highly, so he couldn't take the initiative to ask.
After Kong Bu said this, he felt something was wrong. He was afraid that Ewing would get involved with him, so he quickly found an excuse to hang up the phone.
Now, to be honest, Ewing is a little weaker on the bench. Last season, the Supersonics had a shooting percentage of only 43%, which is not as high as the defender's shooting percentage.
He averaged only 9 points and 7 rebounds per game. The SuperSonics signed him with a one-year contract of $14 million, and I guess he regretted it.
I have to say that Ewing has almost no decent honors in his career, but his ability to make money is the best in history.
Ewing ranks first in total salary for all players who entered the league before 1990. Even if Jordan received $30 million in two years, his total salary was far inferior to Ewing.
Kong Bu doesn't want to spend money to invite an old man back, and Ewing can't even ask for money.
