Chapter 660 I am the one who can talk!

After the 29th.

The 30th is the fourth round of labor negotiations.

The league officials have already felt the seriousness of the situation. After all, there is still a time bomb hidden in Greenville.

If the negotiations in New York are not good, Greenville may explode.

At that time... If the players collectively strike and the league is suspended, the lost income will be immeasurable.

So on the eve of the fourth round of negotiations, Stern, as the president of the alliance, couldn't bear it any longer. He made a phone call to the base camp and wanted to communicate with Li Shengli first, but unexpectedly... Li Shengli actually hung up on him?

Stern did not believe that there was no remark number.

Because he and Li Shengli had exchanged numbers last season, but at that time he was still talking to a player as the president, but now it is different, the president of himself came to the door... and he had to be rejected by Li Shengli?

It was originally speculated that Li Shengli played the role of a negotiating field and an off-site organizer in this negotiation, but this repeated hanging up of the phone further confirmed Stern's suspicion.

Li Shengli, are you awesome?

Well, Stern wouldn't say such things, but he just had this thought in his heart, and he was very angry!

Although the labor negotiations will involve the top players in the league, they are just public statements and support for the players union, but Li Shengli's base camp is completely different... As a super giant of the league, he relies on his connections and personally organizes a large number of players. Endu wanted to report the illegal assembly here.

……

"Hey, Li, good evening!" Stern said impatiently.

"Oh, Mr. Stern, good evening to you too. What's the matter so late?" Li Shengli glanced at Jordan, and Jordan understood the meaning of Stern's call, so he leaned forward and listened .

What's the matter?

what can happen?

Aren't you pretending to be confused by pretending to understand! !

Stern pondered for a while, and said, "Well...it's nothing important. Oh, by the way, is Michael on your side? I know that many players have gone to your site recently."

Just say I'm not here!

Jordan lip-synced to Li Shengli. After all, Stern is strictly his nobleman and has a good relationship, but Li Shengli opened his mouth and said: "Michael? Oh, he is here, but you know, he likes Gambling, this meeting should be with other people..."

……

"Fuck, don't get excited!"

"Who stepped on a horse to gamble, and you kid planted me?"

"Isn't it true to say that..."

Jordan was so angry that he and Li Shengli lowered their voices and said a few words to ensure that they would not be heard. Stern on the other end of the phone coughed a few times and clearly knew the purpose of this communication.

Labor negotiations will resume tomorrow.

Once something goes wrong, Greenville is full of people. If there is a problem, they will rush to New York to file for a parade. This is not a glorious thing.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the negotiations will not be interfered by the power of labor, Stern needs to help the big and small bosses of the league to determine... how hard Greenville's attitude is and how hard it can be.

If Greenville gets tough.

In order not to intensify the conflict, we can only delay the fourth round of negotiations to the death until the labor side starts the offseason vacation, instead of just finishing the finals and not starting the vacation plan now, at least we can’t go to the parade. .

And if it's Greenville's mild attitude.

This shows that in the negotiation, the bargaining chip weight of the labor side is a little lower, and the management can test the bottom line of the players union step by step without affecting the regular season. After all, there are still three or four months until the start of the next season.

Obviously, there are indications that... Li Shengli is Greenville's attitude, even if Li Shengli himself denies it.

You say you are not organized?

Do you really believe it or not?

Talking to Li Shengli, Stern felt in a bad mood, because he was no longer the dominant party, and this would... Li Shengli became a labor representative inexplicably.

In fact, Li Shengli also knows what Stern thinks. After all, the elderly think tank led by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is not a vegetarian, and has given all suggestions and opinions... No matter what, he must support the players union. After all, all players in labor negotiations is one.

As for being tricked by Ewing?

This matter has to be settled later, because it is unwise to engage in internal strife and gang up on Ewing now.

……

"Ahem, it's actually fine." Stern coughed a few times and said, "I just want to ask if you plan to return to China recently. I want to arrange some activities during this offseason. You know, the last activity If it is very successful, your personal influence and business value should also be good, which is good for us.”

Let's not tell the truth first.

As long as Li Shengli agrees, Stern can arrange it immediately. It doesn't matter whether it is true or false. In fact, he didn't want to agree, because the labor negotiations have not been settled. At this juncture, no one can let go!

……

"Wait and see, I have too many friends here, I need to receive them."

"Oh...will it take a long time? The offseason is not long!"

"Well, it's very long, and I can't help but hang on."

"Why, are there many people? Anyway, they are all your friends. You can go back to China and prepare first. The last event had some problems because we didn't understand the situation there, but I think it would be much better for you to deal with it."

Still around me? !

Li Shengli understands Stern's helplessness. This seemingly unintelligent hint is actually to convey his thoughts, and he wants Li Shengli not to get involved, but it is unclear whether he is dead or alive.

"Okay, Mr. Stern, I understand what you mean, so you don't need to go around, you ask me, are there many people here?" Li Shengli was lazy and reserved, and said directly: "You should read the news, you can talk It's all on my side, our attitude supports the trade union's negotiations and cooperates with the trade union's work, you have no choice, and I am the same, as for the redundant words, you should tell Ewing, after all, he is the chairman!"

"But the problem is... most of the people are with you, which is the biggest hidden danger in the negotiation!"

"I can't help it, I didn't call you."

"Do you believe this? I know you didn't say anything, but do you dare to say that these people are not running after you?" Stern was really at a loss, sighed, and finally said politely: "Okay, I know your attitude. I will discuss the redundant work with the players union. In addition... I don’t think there will be any tension between us because of this kind of problem. Things will pass, and this will not affect our private life. Relationship."

"Of course, rest early."

"Okay, you should rest early too!"

……

As soon as the phone was hung up, Li Shengli and Jordan glanced at each other.

"This attitude is okay. Stern looks very kind, but in fact he seldom talks like this, and when this happens..." Jordan patted Li Shengli and sat back in his seat.

"That proves that your organization's attitude will affect the negotiation process, and maybe tomorrow's management will make concessions."

"Damn, I said it wasn't organized by me." Li Shengli cursed, then thought of Ewing, who didn't look very smart, and forced himself to be one?

"Damn it, Ewing pissed me off once, I have to settle this matter with him next time I meet, or I'll feel uncomfortable."

"He can't help it. After all, you are the only one who can gather big-name players in a short period of time. It just so happens that Shaq and Mourning have both signed contracts worth over [-] million yuan, as well as Carl and John. In your territory, it is also difficult to negotiate with the trade union."

"You can say whatever you want, but I can't do it!"

"Whatever you want, anyway, I don't care, let's wait for tomorrow's news. You have already done what you can do here, and the following is Ewing's business. I hope this negotiation goes well, although it has little to do with me. "

"Yes, we have done everything we can do here." Li Shengli lay back and lay down, "The maximum salary is limited every year. I live such a hard life. Where can I earn more money for retirement? Hey, I hope Ewing on the front line won't be cowardly, and don't make any mistakes."
