Legend Raiders

Chapter 285 Before the Closing
At the huge dining table, Qin Tao, Zarya, and Laidlow, as the hosts at the same time, were not humble, and sat on the main seat one after another.

On Qin Tao's left, Eminem and the others are sitting, and on the right are Director Song Tianxiang and Haili Johnson.

At first glance, their combination seemed a bit out of place, but because of Qin Tao's affairs, they had the opportunity to sit together for dinner and chat.

of course.

As a private detective, Hayley Johnson originally didn't plan to attend the banquet, but just wanted to hand over some last information and intelligence to Zarya, and she had to settle the bill and return directly to Washington.

But the situation is stronger than people, and some things don't just go away.

such as.

I don't know what Zarya is thinking. After asking Haili Johnson and learning that she is an orphan and has no family for the time being, she decided to hire this "female agent" at a high price on the spot.

In Zarya's words, it means that she hits Haili very well, and also likes her temperament and efficiency in handling things very much.

natural.

As a private detective, Haili is satisfied with her busy life and never forgets her days as an agent. The most important thing is, of course, that she wants to earn more money so that she can guarantee her petty bourgeois life.

nowadays.

Although Zarya's request was very abrupt, it was impossible for her not to investigate if she could accept this task.

and so.

When she temporarily pressed this matter, and only used the time to go to the toilet, she found Zarya's information from her channel, and when she returned to the living room, she agreed without hesitation. An annual salary of US$15 with bonuses is also very attractive to her.

After talking about her situation, the meal with Qin Tao and the three of them started.

Between meals.

Qin Tao first thanked Director Song Tianxiang for what he had done for him.

Because he was on the road before, director Song Tianxiang explained the previous incident in a concise and concise manner. Although he said it lightly, Qin Tao could hear some problems.

and so.

He has to thank this enthusiastic compatriot, the uncle who is like an elder.

As Qin Tao's brother, although Eminem and the others were about the same age as Song Tianxiang, they also behaved quite politely.

Qin Tao naturally wanted to thank Eminem and the others.

To know.

This group of big brothers who seemed to have nothing to do had turned off a lot of work and rushed to him immediately.

So if you don't thank him well, then Qin Tao is really not as good as a white-eyed wolf.

So he directly started the drinking mode, and no matter how much Eminem and the others drank, he started to drink a lot with a lot of rhetoric.

At the beginning.

Song Tianxiang and Haili Johnson were frightened by the way he drank, but after the drinks on the table were terribly wiped out by Qin Tao, they found strangely that this guy, apart from giving off a slightly drunken feeling, seemed to be Not really drunk.

But in this way, Qin Tao's drinking capacity still surprised them.

At last.

When the meal is over, the uniquely American culture comes into play again.

Perhaps because Eminem and the others had more people, they decided to go to the nightclub to have a good time after being coaxed by them and Zarya.

Although Song Tianxiang is not young, he looks in his 40s and close to [-]s, but this uncle seems to have integrated into the culture here, not only did not politely decline, but he cheered up and went with him happily.

Needless to say, Hayley Johnson is an American herself. After leaving the secret service position, there are basically no repeated orders to restrain her.

And when Qin Tao and the others were about to go to the nightclub to have fun, Darrell Morey and Alexander looked at each other from time to time in the Rockets' boss's office, with indescribably depressed expressions on their faces.

Make sense.

They really didn't expect that there would be so many disturbances in this incident. Their original intention was nothing more than to suppress Qin Tao's urine and price in disguise.

But who would have thought that in the end not only caused an uproar, but also caused an uncomfortable social problem, which almost killed them.

To know.

Although it is not possible to be killed by keyboard warriors in the United States if this kind of topic is brought up, but because of the development of the Internet and the intervention of the judiciary, some things will really be greatly affected.

Like Alexander.

Although he is old and does not necessarily go into politics or something, but if he wants to be a member of the county and city level on a whim, it will really cause a lot of trouble.

Let's talk about Morey.

Although judging from the whole incident, he is basically the same, fully demonstrating what is called a business alliance, but if someone with a heart takes advantage of this wave of manipulation, I am afraid that his position as a manager will not be secure.

of course.

This thing is just a guess, and everything can only wait for the dust to settle.

but.

Now they are very stressed.

It's all because the alliance has formally sent a fax and an ultimatum to Qin Tao and the others while they were having fun. If the impact cannot be reduced to a certain level within a week, then the dividends and resources in the next few years will be reduced. , the alliance will consider it carefully, and also revealed the meaning of erasing bonuses and resources for a few years.

And what this ultimatum means, I am afraid that friends who care about the NBA basically know it.

After the NBA has signed a broadcast contract and a series of business contracts, it will provide them with more or less, but enough to be a piece of fat, at the end of each season based on the performance of each team and other factors. bonus.

Take Los Angeles and New York as a metaphor, because the ball markets of these two cities are the largest in the league, and at the end of the season, they will also receive the most bonuses.

As far as the Rockets are concerned, although they cannot be compared with these top teams, but also because of what Yao Ming brought back then, their bonuses definitely belong to the middle and upper reaches of all teams.

of course.

Although there is a big gap between the dividends and the commercial profits they get from China and other places, apart from how much money and resources they get, they care more about face.

Just ask.

A team that has been deducted bonuses and resources by the league, why should it attract others to join?
Putting the bonus aside for now, no player would be willing to come to this ice hole for fear of wiping out resources, right?
and so.

Although the current public opinion is not as crazy as before, the waves have never disappeared and shrunk.

How to do?
Morey and Alexander are really full of yellow lotus, but apart from the hardship and discomfort, they are very clear that there is another way to get this matter done in a very short time.
