the great gatsby

Chapter 470 Thunderbolt Means!

Scott's shameless remarks seemed quite hateful in Gatsby's eyes, but he did not explode on the spot, and even tried to persuade him.

"Scott, the fact that the team can operate so well is due to the credit of your scouting department. The big data system is not your competitor, but can also become your right-hand man. You can use this tool to make more A fruitful contribution, which is a great thing for the team and you!"

Gatsby persuaded him earnestly that Scott's father was a meritorious scout for the Knicks, and Scott had been with the Knicks for more than [-] years. If they can accept the big data system and work hard to cooperate, Gatsby certainly hopes that they can stay. After all, they are very experienced scouts. They may lack vision, but their systematic scouting skills can be compared with the big data system. complement each other.

Scott is also right, the data system is not a panacea, at least not at present, this is a process of gradual improvement, which requires experienced scouts to combine big data to make judgments, in order to be able to use big data The real advantage of the system.

But Scott did not appreciate Gatsby's persuasion. He sneered: "Gatsby, you are a great player, but a great player may not be an excellent manager. What's more, you are just a player. The uniform staff It’s not your turn to dictate the work!”

Donnie Walsh quickly persuaded: "Scott, this is the team's most important arrangement now, and the boss is also paying attention to this matter, so this matter must be implemented. Why do you have to go against the team? Woolen cloth?"

Scott sneered: "Donnie, I don't need you to teach me what to do. I have been in the Knicks for more than [-] years. My father created the Knicks and used his work to win two championships for the Knicks. Now I used my job to help build a dynasty and now the team trusts the computer, not us hard-working scouts!"

What Scott said also has the actual situation. The work of scouts is indeed very heavy. Once the season starts, they are either on the way to the airport, or on the way from the airport to the stadium. They are almost overdrawing their lives. The way is working, not to mention holidays, not even a normal schedule.

The normal operation of the team is indeed inseparable from these scouts who gave up their lives. These scouts really deserve all the respect.

Donnie Walsh said with a bad face: "Scott, I know how heavy your work is, that's why we introduced the big data system, which can reduce your workload, and you can also get and Isn’t it nice to have family time together?”

Scott didn't appreciate it: "I still don't know your thoughts, you just want to get your hands in, but let me tell you, the scouting department is an independent department, even you Donny Walsh can only Assign tasks to us, but not interfere with our specific work, this is my bottom line!
Hmph, you'd rather be Gatsby's puppet, but I wouldn't! "

Donnie Walsh's face turns pale and blue, he really wants to leave immediately, he doesn't care about this matter anymore, but this is a task assigned by the boss himself, if he doesn't complete it, it will be his negligence as the general manager .

Gatsby really has a lot of experience. He heard that these old teams have existed for a long time, so there are many factions in them. He didn't expect Scott to be like this when facing the general manager of the team. a!

Gatsby pondered for a moment: "Scott, it is inevitable for the team to introduce a big data system. This is the trend of the league. More and more teams will do this in the future. We cannot fall behind. The team's He is also very determined. If someone wants to stand in front, he will eventually have to give way to the team, no matter who it is.

You are the meritorious veteran of the team. The team does not want to push out the meritorious veteran, but hopes that you can combine new technologies, show more abilities, and contribute to the team. This is a win-win situation. Why are you How about staying in front? "

Scott proudly said: "You also have to remember that you are just a player, I hope you put yourself in the right position and don't take yourself too seriously, maybe who will leave the Knicks first.

What big data? The league has perfected the data for so many years. Who really won the championship by relying on this? In the end, it is not for scouts like us who have worked so hard and can only hide behind the scenes.

Now you actually want to ignore us, don't believe us experts who have been working in this industry for so many years, but believe in big data in a whimsical way!

Hehe, it's so funny! "

The discussion between the three became more and more intense, and it almost turned into a quarrel in the end. This is a cultural problem. In China, everyone is used to solving problems through consultation. Even if there are opinions, they are discussed with various hints. Absolutely It will not intensify conflicts in a way that is close to tearing the skin. Some scholars who study Chinese and Western cultures call this difference the culture of the cold country and the culture of the hot country.

China is a typical cold country culture, which generally hides its words, while the United States is a typical warm country culture. They will stimulate conflicts, let everyone focus on the problem, and then quickly solve the problem.

Gatsby didn't know much about it at the beginning, but after all these years, he also understood this culture. The so-called "do as the Romans do in the country", he also learned to go straight.

"Scott, please understand that the team must push this matter forward, and it is useless for anyone to obstruct it.

Moreover, your contract is coming to an end this year. If you obstruct this matter, for the team, you will be emptied and let other people who are willing to do this matter do it, or even just not renew your contract! "

Gatsby's words did not meander, but directly stated the result.

Scott sneered: "You can try, without me, who can you see in the scouting department?"

Gatsby's face was a bit ugly. He didn't expect the team's problem to be so serious. Scott and his son actually built the scouting department into an independent kingdom, and even the team couldn't get involved. The seriousness of this problem is really serious. It's scary, and if it's not handled properly, it may even cause the entire Knicks scouting department to rebel!

The meeting broke up unhappily, and Gatsby left Donny Walsh behind.

"Donny, I didn't know that the scouting department has become an independent private land. This is your dereliction of duty!" Gatsby said seriously.

Donnie Walsh smiled bitterly: "Gatsby, I have only been with the Knicks for a few years, and these scouts have been with the Knicks for decades or more. They are the veterans." The Knicks, I have no way of directing them!"

It began to rain outside the window, pattering, with some winter air. Gatsby opened the window, and a cold with moist water vapor rushed to his face, which refreshed him.

Gatsby turned his head to look at Donny Walsh, pondered for a while and said, "Donnie, give up the contract extension with him."

Donnie Walsh was surprised: "No way, his father just passed away a few years ago, and he himself has worked for the Knicks for more than [-] years. If we kick him out, it will be bad for the team. Reputation can be a big blow, and if he talks about it everywhere, the team's reputation will be ruined!"

Gatsby smiled: "Then let him block the big data system? Let him slow down the pace of the team and endure a lot of internal friction. When the time comes to make the team's atmosphere worse, it will not be worth the candle." Woolen cloth!"

Donnie Walsh walked around in the room, saying, "I always feel wrong, why don't we persuade him..."

Gatsby said flatly: "No! He kept interrupting, but he was disturbed by it. His mind was no longer on how to make the team more competitive. All he cared about was the dignity of their scouts. Haha, times have changed, he He’s still stuck in his old ideas!”

Donnie Walsh said uneasily: "This matter requires the boss's consent."

Gatsby nodded: "I told her that she will let you know if she agrees."

Seeing that he could not persuade Gatsby, Donny Walsh could only leave in dismay. His expression was unhappy because of Scott's stubbornness and also because of Gatsby's strength.

Long Xiaoman's office.

"His reaction is so intense?" Long Xiaoman asked in surprise.

Gatsby nodded: "The emperor has been working for a long time, and he doesn't know how much he weighs. He thought the team would be nothing without him." He sneered a few times.

Long Xiaoman was also worried: "It's fine if you don't renew the contract with him, but I'm afraid that if he talks about it everywhere, it will hurt the reputation of the team."

Gatsby sneered: "It would be fine if he was more honest. If he is dishonest, then we can only fight back. We don't need to fabricate anything, just tell the truth.

An employee who disregards the interests of the team for his own sake will not get support there, don't worry. "

Long Xiaoman nodded with a smile, leaned over and pushed herself into her boyfriend's arms. She found a comfortable position, nestled in her boyfriend's arms and talked about her thoughts. Gatsby also listened with a smile. , holding a cute girlfriend is indeed a good way to relieve stress, just like petting a cat.

Donnie Walsh followed Long Xiaoman's instructions to inform Scott that he would not renew his contract. Scott was not furious for a moment, but rather lost his mind. He did not expect that the team would act so resolutely, so he said If they objected, the team immediately countered with overwhelming force.

When Donny Walsh saw Scott's distraught appearance, he couldn't help feeling a bit hurtful. He was also an employee. In fact, he was the same person as Scott, and one day he wouldn't be suitable. If the Knicks die, they will also be kicked out by the Knicks.

But this incident also reminded him not to go against Gatsby.

He realized that Gatsby's authority in the Knicks had reached its peak. Whether it was the players, the coaches, or even the owner, they were all supportive of him. Originally, the scouting department and other logistics departments were not in awe of Gatsby. Bi, now that this incident happens, I'm afraid no one will dare to compare with Gates in the future.

Scott is deeply rooted in the Knicks, whether it is the reputation left by his father or the connections he has managed. Before this, no one thought that Gatsby could do anything to win over him, even if the team owner was his girlfriend. is also like this.

In their view, boyfriends are important, but for these businessmen, business is the most important thing. If the boss of Knicks needs to make a choice between Scott and Gatsby, even if he chooses to stand On Gatsby's side, it's because Gatsby is more important than Knicks, not that Gatsby is Long Xiaoman's boyfriend.

Scott didn't say much, he packed his things alone, and none of the colleagues he thought were his loyal colleagues showed up. Some paperwork for data work, I helped him clean up after running.

Scott left Madison Square Garden one step at a time. He didn't resent those colleagues who were wise and safe. If it were him, he wouldn't show up at this time, so as not to be hated by the team.

He was holding a cardboard box, which contained some simple personal items, and put it in the trunk, but when he turned around, he saw a person he didn't want to see.

Scott gritted his teeth and said, "Gatsby!"

Gatsby smiled brightly: "Scott, I'll see you off, so that you won't be so lonely when you leave."

Scott smiled miserably: "You are happy now, and you still have the heart to show off in front of me!"

Gatsby shook his head and said: "Scott, we have no personal grievances, on the contrary, I respect your father very much, and you have inherited his excellence, but this time this matter is a public matter, and your stubbornness has affected For the development of the team, I had no choice but to make such a bad move.

Scott, I’m sorry if I offended you. With your talent, you won’t have to worry about not having a job in the league, but I have to tell you that big data is the future of the league. This is a major trend. Who It is unavoidable. I suggest that even if you go to another team, you should make up for this part. This will not only help you find a job, but even improve you. When you meet next time, you may Not just a scout, maybe a general manager! "

Scott's anger gradually dissipated, and he frowned and asked: "Gatsby, I admit that you are a great player, even as a head coach and general manager, you are an excellent candidate, but this big data, really so it works?"

Gates Bisu Rong said: "It is much more powerful than you imagined. This is real science. You must have seen the strength of the Rockets and the Golden State Warriors. The Rockets' Morey is the team's two core McGrady and When Yao Ming was injured, it was amazing to put together a group of role players and be able to win a winning streak.

For the Golden State Warriors, only one Curry can be considered the core, and the others are role players. However, with the help of big data, their current tactical system and play style have shown their advantages.

I can basically assert that big data is the future of the league and the general trend of future techniques and tactics!

So, Scott, be early! "

Scott was so lost in thought that he didn't even know Gatsby was gone.
