At the same time, the basketball god, Michael Jordan. Finally, he heard from his agent that the Alliance's largest contract was worth a hundred million yuan. The Blazers player, Zhang Long.
Zhang Long actually refused to accept an eight-year, 240 million USD contract for a pair of sports shoes.
Even the sports brand Anta from China and the Dragon Kingdom. Sign a lifetime sneaker contract.
Although the exact amount was not announced to the outside world. However, it still shocked North America!
It could be said that Zhang Long had unintentionally done it. She stole Grandpa Qiao's limelight and the media's attention.
"Michael. Your contract ends this season. Do you have any considerations?"
"Old Reinsdorff. He's famous for being stingy." The agent, David Falcao, pulled out a cigar and handed it to Jordan.
Jordan lit his cigar and took a deep puff.""I admit it. Zhang could score 90 points in the playoffs. And it was in front of Payton. The Sounders led by Rain Man Kemp.”
"However, he is not my match. The finals this time were too easy.”
"David. However, since Zhang Long was able to do so next season…He received an annual salary of 20 million dollars. Why should I take so little money?"
Grandpa Qiao looked at his agent, David Falcao, with a cigar in his mouth. He expressed his dissatisfaction.
In the 1980s, the NBA's commercial development was not as high as it was now. When Jordan entered the league as a flower scout, his salary for that season (84-85 season) was only 550,000 dollars. By the time his rookie contract ended, Jordan had only earned 2.03 million dollars in three seasons.
In 1988, Jordan signed an eight-year,$24 million contract with the Bulls. During these eight years, Mr. Joe's highest annual salary was only $3.85 million.
In the summer of 1996, due to the increase in the commercial value of the NBA, the entire league skyrocketed by billions of dollars. Although there was a salary cap at that time, there were already players who received tens of millions of contracts. In the 95-96 season, the Knicks offered " Gorilla " Ewing an annual salary of $18.72 million.
Let's start with the rules. As we said, the 1996 NBA salary cap was only 24.36 million. Theoretically, it did not allow players to sign in the super line. However, the salary cap only restricted the team from recruiting free agents. In addition, there was no luxury tax at that time. The luxury tax was a product of the CBA labor dispute negotiations in 1998.
Therefore, if a player wanted to sign a new team as a free agent, his salary could not exceed the salary cap, which caused one thing. In the same year that Shaquille O'Neal traveled to the West, the Los Angeles Clippers had to sell everything they had to clear the space to get Shaquille O'Neal.
However, Zhang Long's situation was different. He had renewed his contract with his mother team in advance.
At that time, the NBA did not have a maximum salary and luxury tax. These two were the 1998-99 season labor agreement and the lockdown. It was born after negotiations.
In other words, before the CBA labor agreement was signed in 1999. The amount of money a player could get depended entirely on how much the team owner wanted to give.
Then, Zhang Long was very lucky. He renewed his contract in advance and got a seven-year, 150 million USD contract. They would occupy 80% of the team's salary cap next season.
Therefore, this explanation was very clear.
David Falcao understood. Michael, I'm going to negotiate with the Bulls boss now.”
"Michael, how much do you want?”
Grandpa Qiao's lips curled up slightly as he extended three fingers. "I want the contract that starts with 3." I want to surpass Zhang Long and become the salary king of the Alliance!”
One had to know that Grandpa Qiao was competitive. On the basketball court, no one was convinced!
Zhang Long met a willful and rich big boss.
An annual salary of 20 million dollars greatly stimulated Jordan's sensitive nerves!
Grandpa Qiao took a puff of his cigar and blew out a ring of smoke."David. I just want to know how much I'm worth."
"If old Reinsdorff isn't willing to give it to me. Alright, I'll test the waters of the free market this year.”
"Humph! That old fart. Once you lose me, do you still want to win the championship? Bullshit!" Jordan snorted coldly, a mocking expression on his face.
" I understand, Michael."
"David. First, spread the word in the market. However, don't take the initiative to contact the Bulls 'management and Reinsdorff.”
"Just one sentence. Jordan wants to know how much he's worth.”Grandpa Qiao revealed eight big white teeth that were shining brightly.
David Falcao nodded with a serious expression."“OK。No problem, Michael. I won't disturb your rest."
Soon, it was June 3rd. The day before the finals, the NBA suddenly released a piece of shocking news.
The basketball god, Michael Jordan. Do you want to know how much you are worth?
All the major media outlets. The television stations reported. Moreover, it was the headlines.
Jordan's contract. After the finals, he became a free agent.
On June 2nd, the NBA's first hundred-million-dollar contract was awarded. Zhang Long, the " Dragon God " of the Blazers, had just rejected a contract with Nick.
This made one's imagination run wild.
Jordan's dissatisfaction with Zhang Long! Dissatisfaction with his salary! He even wanted to leave the Bulls for a transfer?!
At this moment, the New Yorkers couldn't sit still.
Dolan, the owner of the Knicks, immediately sent someone to contact David Falcao. He wanted to ask Jordan if he really wanted to transfer.
David Falcao only gave an ambiguous promise. Michael just wanted to know. How much was he worth?
．．．．．
Paul Allen also heard from his assistant that he was a very talented person. After hearing this news.
"Zhang. What do you think, next season? Will Jordan come to Orlando?" Paul Allen was a little excited and quickly called Zhang Long.
Zhang Long was speechless.
"Alan. It was impossible. But it's a small city."
"Besides, it's impossible for Jordan to leave the East and come to the West.”
"In the end, Jordan is just raising the price. He was thinking of an annual salary starting with 3.”
Zhang Long spoke slowly and narrated. His mentality was very calm.
" Then I can give it to him." Paul Allen couldn't control his excitement.
Michael Jordan was the god of basketball. Countless bosses wanted him.
"Boss. In this offseason, you can give it a try.”Zhang Long was speechless. This big boss was simply a bootlicker.
The Blazers were in the west and the Bulls were in the east.
How could Jordan come to the Blazers? This kind of thing was impossible.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qing walked into the gym from the living room.
"Xiaolong. I just received a call from two fast food companies, McDonald's and KFC. They want to invite you to become their spokesperson?”
"They even offered 10 million a year. After-tax price." Zhang Qing's face was filled with excitement.
Zhang Long refused without hesitation."Aunt. I don't endorse food."
"Why?"
"It's very simple. It was easy to fake it and add food ingredients. Carcinogen and so on."
"Once it's exposed, it will affect my commercial value.”
"Aunt. You just have to remember, suit. Tie. Leather bag. watch. Leather shoes. A motorcycle and sunglasses. I can endorse these products.”
"Because they are safe. There won't be any accidents." Zhang Long spoke with confidence, wearing a singlet. He sat on the rowing machine and trained his latissimus dorsi.
"Alright, I'll do it. I'll remember it in my heart."
"Oh, right. Our company has already contacted a headhunter. Recruited two traders."
"There's also your guild. I'm still choosing. As for the bodyguard…Aunty wants to hear your opinion?" Zhang Qing walked over and stood on the left front of the rowing machine.
"Yes, outsiders can't be trusted. Or recruit soldiers from the Dragon Country."
"Aunt. "In 1997, our Dragon Country will have a major military reduction. When the time comes, we'll go back and inform the higher-ups.”
"Recruit 100 elite retired soldiers as our personal bodyguards.”Zhang Long pondered for a while and told the secret. He told his aunt in advance.
"It would be best if there were female soldiers. The female soldiers are used to protect little aunt."
Zhang Qing didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she supported Zhang Long unconditionally.
