Chapter 242 Talking About Contract Renewal
"Why would Paul ask me to go to the training hall at this time? Could it be that he wants to drag me to the special training right now?"

Ning Caichen was thinking wildly, and he drove to the training hall very quickly. When he got out of the car, he saw Paul's car standing crookedly on the garage. It was obviously urgent. Otherwise, an old driver like him would never have held the car up like this. .After walking past Paul's car, Ning Caichen frowned. Rivers' car was also there, and there were several team management cars next to him.

What's wrong with these people?Could it be that the conclusion of the opening season is not enough?But why no one came to notify before?Too strange.

The arena was quiet, and Paul was not found. After scanning around the arena, he finally found Paul playing with his mobile phone in the tea room.

"I'm going, Paul, what are you doing? I thought you were going to ask me for special training to prepare for next season's competition." Ning Caichen looked at the casually dressed Paul and said.

"Do you think everyone is as perverted as you? I'm going to take my wife and children on vacation!!"

"Ha, great idea, I really enjoy it!! Looks like I have to plan and see where I'm going on vacation." Only then did Ning Caichen remember that a few months of vacation would be wasted if he didn't go out for a stroll .He originally thought about going back to China to rest after he finished his work at Tianhuo Studio, but when Paul mentioned it, he remembered that he hadn't had a real vacation yet.

After a few words of nonsense, the two finally got to the point.

"Paul, what's the matter with you looking for me? I saw Rivers' car in the parking lot, and Rivers is there too?"

Paul shrugged and looked at the office of the Rivers training facility: "Then, they are waiting for you inside!"

Ning Caichen frowned after hearing this, a little puzzled: "They are looking for me..., I'll go..."

Seeing that Ning Caichen finally came to his senses, Paul said speechlessly: "I can't help it!! I was also tricked by him, and Rivers pestered me to call you here, so, whether you want to renew the contract is up to you Do it, I support you."

Ning Caichen gave a wry smile, what else does Rivers want with him at this time, it's nothing more than signing a contract.Rivers knew that it would be better to ask Paul to connect directly with him, and the success rate might be higher.

"However, I think that if the conditions are right, our current lineup is already very good." Paul hoped that Ning Caichen would stay, and he really didn't want any changes. The most powerful, they just checked some luck.

Ning Caichen smiled and said, "Let's see. If he offers the right price and can be treated like a playoff player next season, I'm very happy to stay."

After winking at Paul, Ning Caichen turned and walked towards Rivers' office.He almost forgot about signing the contract. If his guess is correct, Luo Yijing's phone calls will definitely be bombarded by various teams in the next two days.

Ning Caichen knocked on the door and entered Rivers' office. Sure enough, not only Rivers, but the assistant coach was also there, and the other two were senior leaders of the team's management, and they had met.

Seeing Ning Caichen coming, several people stood up and greeted Ning Caichen.

After sitting on the sofa, Rivers poured Ning Caichen a cup of coffee, and got straight into the subject, which was not at all like Rivers' style.

"Ning, we came to you today to solve the problem of your contract renewal." Rivers lowered his posture, and sat half-bent on the sofa, with his elbows on his knees, facing Ning Caichen, and The aloof attitude in the previous interviews was completely different.

After finishing speaking, Rivers and the others looked at Ning Caichen inexplicably nervously, really afraid that Ning Caichen would directly refuse to leave.

The corner of Ning Caichen's mouth twitched. Just as he was about to speak, the assistant coach next to him quickly handed over a stack of papers.

"Ning, this is the team's offer to you. Of course, this is only the team's preliminary offer. If you think there is anything that needs to be modified, feel free to bring it up."

"Yes, yes, we will do our best to meet your request." Rivers interjected.

Ning Caichen smiled, took the contract handed over by the assistant coach, but did not open it, patted it in his hand and said with a smile: "Well, how about we talk about the contract renewal after a while? Now I wasn't ready, it was so sudden."

When the few people heard this, their hearts turned cold. This was a clear refusal, and they hadn't read the contract yet.Rivers' complexion suddenly became ugly, and he knew that Ning Caichen would refuse.

The assistant coach at the side didn't expect that Ning Caichen didn't even look at it, so he directly refused, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. Let’s look at the contract first, we’ll talk about the rest later.”

"Yes, you, take a look first."

Seeing no excuses, Ning Caichen had no choice but to open the improvised contract.

To be honest, Ning Caichen didn't have any expectations for Rivers' offer. After all, with the current lineup of the Clippers, it is basically impossible to sign him with a big price, unless Ballmer is willing. Bear a huge luxury tax.

Ning Caichen directly turned to the page of the contract quotation, glanced at it, and read the quotation that Rivers gave him.

Sure enough, as he thought, the contract offer did not surprise him, but it was considered a bit of sincerity. Of course, it was only compared to the previous contract.

Seeing Ning Caichen's perfunctory glance, the hearts of several people thumped again, and their faces were all bad. This Ning Caichen is too shameless.

"I think, let's talk again in a few days! I can't accept your offer yet." Ning Caichen smiled and put down the contract.

9800 million in five years, with an average annual salary of nearly 2000 million, but the annual salary in the first year is only 1500, and then increases year by year, up to 2500 million in the fifth year. Moreover, there is no trade veto and no player options.

Compared with the offer Rivers gave him last time, this contract now is simply a sky-high contract! !I believe Ning Caichen will be moved, but Rivers never expected that Ning Caichen would refuse.

Ning Caichen did not expect that Rivers would underestimate his value so far.

"No, Ning, we can discuss what conditions you have, and you can bring them up." Rivers became anxious, but the assistant coach tried his best to save him, and asked Ning Caichen to propose conditions. It was easy to say.

"Ning, you have to think about it. This is your first season. Such a high annual salary is enough to show our sincerity." Rivers' breath became heavy, and he was very angry at Ning Caichen's face-to-face rejection. I don't know how to flatter.In his opinion, Ning Caichen has such a sky-high contract after only playing a few games, which is simply a gift from heaven.

Ning Caichen was also angry, and his face was no longer so good. He glanced at Rivers and said lightly: "No need, we will talk about it later if we have a chance. I haven't considered it yet." Wake up, no longer have any illusions about the Clippers.

How could the assistant coach let Ning Caichen leave like this? Just as Ning Caichen was about to stand up, he quickly stretched out his hand, pressed Ning Caichen's legs, and signaled Ning Caichen not to leave in a hurry.

This……

"Ning, Ning, you can think about it again. The contract offer is easy to negotiate. Just ask for any conditions you have." The assistant coach looked at Ning Caichen with a pleading look, and it could be seen how much he valued Ning Caichen.

Ning Caichen looked at the assistant coach, then at Rivers, smiled, sat down again, took a sip of the coffee on the table, and then leaned on the sofa, not polite anymore.

After seeing Ning Caichen's reaction, several people finally breathed a sigh of relief again. They finally kept Ning Caichen, and then it was up to Ning Caichen to make conditions.

"Ning, what conditions do you have?"

Ning Caichen moved his body, looked at several people with a smile, and said, "You should know that many teams have come to me during the regular season!"

After hearing this, several people smiled awkwardly. Anyone who is not blind can see the value of Ning Caichen's ability.

Seeing that a few people were silent, Ning Caichen continued, "Then do you know how much those teams offered me back then?"

After hearing this, several people looked at Ning Caichen with fixed eyes. They were also very curious about the offers made by other teams to Ning Caichen.In the regular season, Ning Caichen's performance was far less amazing than in the playoffs. 500? 800w?
"1500 million, and the annual salary is 1500 million. The lowest is 1000 million, and the Spurs are among them, and the quotation is also very high. At that time, my performance was far from as eye-catching as it is now." After Ning Caichen finished speaking, once again Leaning on the sofa, he didn't speak anymore. Looking at the astonished expressions of several people, only the assistant coach was quite normal, but slightly embarrassed.

Rivers opened his mouth with an unbelievable look. At that time, he had already quoted an annual salary of 1500, and they only came up with such an offer now. This, this face is a little hot!
Seeing the reactions of several people, Ning Caichen shook his head speechlessly, stood up, and said, "Wait until you really see my value before you give me an offer. Before that, I don't think everyone should waste each other's money." It's time."

A few people were embarrassed and speechless, and they didn't know how to refute. Their offer, compared with other teams, was really a bit out of hand.

Ning Caichen just took a few steps, turned around again, looked at several people and said, "If the team's offer is suitable, I am willing to stay, but I have a condition that must be met."

After hearing this, several people's eyes brightened, and they looked at Ning Caichen, waiting for him to finish speaking.

"I want the team to have the absolute right to speak on the court, just like in the playoffs." After finishing speaking, he took a deep look at Rivers, and then walked away.

Rivers was taken aback when he heard this, how could he not know what Ning Caichen meant, this is for the right to coach!But, is it possible for him to let go of his rights?The playoffs are just a stopgap measure, there is really no way, but in the regular season, how can it be possible to give the command to Ning Caichen?

Rivers opened his mouth slightly, watching Ning Caichen who was slowly leaving, speechless for a long time.The assistant coach on the side also knew what Ning Caichen meant, but he couldn't make the decision for Rivers, so he sighed and left the office.
