Chapter 570
Li Xing turned off the TV.
"Larch, don't you want to watch?"
"I've already watched the fun ones, and the rest are meaningless." Li Xing smiled lightly.
"Don't you want to know who the Raptors are going to draft?"
"Anyway, it's the second round. They will have to wait a few hours after the selection. We might as well do something else."
Li Xing saw that it was getting late, so he couldn't help smiling at the four of them.
After entering the offseason, there are fewer and fewer people in the Lincoln apartment.
Except for people like Dai Linsi who are passing by and have no ambition, everyone else is busy with work.
Part of the reason is that the film company started by Li Xing is booming.
Although the company has only been in business for two years, every project under its banner, even if it is a movie that has been criticized, has a high ratings.
Among them, there are also films with good reputation and good income.
Although it has only been established for two years, it has become a new force in Hollywood that cannot be underestimated.
The women around Li Xing, especially the actors, are the biggest beneficiaries.
Actors like Alexandra who have poor acting skills but have a good image only need to quietly be a second or third heroine who will not influence the plot in the movie to gain both fame and fortune.
As for actresses like Theron and Stewart, who are already famous all over the world, they are more picky, but they have also taken on several movies one after another, which are also great successes.
Their careers are booming, but Dai Linsi is going further and further on the road of becoming a senior baker.
As the first woman Li Xing came to this world, Dai Linsi has a special meaning in Li Xing's heart.
"Okay, let's turn off the lights and do something we should do at night."
Time passed slowly, and the draft continued.
In the Raptors general manager's office, Colangelo hovers by the window.
Li Xing's proposal came to his mind, and he also agreed to make a deal with Charlotte.
Now I am hesitating, should I trade?
The point of this matter is that Charlotte wants to get the No.20 pick, so Colangelo has been guarding the live broadcast.
When he saw that the Bulls with the [-]th overall pick selected Gobert, a trade news quickly appeared in the trading market.
The Bulls have traded the pick, and the Bobcats have paid a starter for it.
The question is, why did the Bobcats choose Gobert?
They lack insiders?Yes, they were short, but Li Xing knew this in advance and knew that they would choose Gobert, and even suggested that Colangelo propose a deal to them.
This made Colangelo uneasy.
What step did Li Xing achieve?How many things did he do behind his back?
So far, everything has been said by Li Xing.
Colangelo wants to know that this is not a game set up by Li Xing, just follow what he said and propose a deal.
But this proposal really made him hard to say.
The external rhetoric of the team management is the same as the slang of diplomatic rhetoric.
A lot of rumors like to spread "the so-and-so team is in the lead in the pursuit of so-and-so", which shows that they talked very well.
And there is a rumor called "the so-and-so team has not received a serious offer yet."
What is a serious quote?It's that you mean it, you want to propose a deal, you mean it, you're not kidding me.
If the proposal given by Li Xing is successful, it will be a profitable business.
And what about the Bobcats?
Colangelo asked himself, if he was at the helm of the Bobcats and heard someone call with an offer like that, he would hang up in a second.
That's a no-nonsense quote.
This kind of offer will hurt the friendship between the two parties, and unless it is a sworn enemy who dislikes each other, such an offer is generally not made.
But Li Xing
Colangelo had a strong premonition that all of this was within Li Xing's calculations.
As long as he follows the route designed by the other party step by step, the deal will be realized naturally.
They will not have any losses, thus making up for the team's last short board.
As long as they get Gobert, the Raptors are invincible.
From the inside to the outside, 360 degrees without dead ends.
"Brian, we'll be here soon," the assistant reminded.
"I see!"
Colangelo was too distraught to care.
"Is Mike Muscala still around?" Colangelo asked casually.
"Still in that position."
"Okay, keep an eye on it."
Colangelo is by no means a kind boss. He is very happy and determined to go his own way. The masterpiece of his general manager career was the selection of Li Xing in 09.
The signing made him a Hall of Fame GM.
In the eyes of his subordinates, this man just happened to step on a diamond wrapped in shit, so it can't be said that he has a discerning eye.
Did the subsequent series of operations have anything to do with him?
As Li Xing interfered more and more with the management, Colangelo's temper became more irritable.
No one likes a boss who, if he can be pushed into the fire without fouling, the whole office will take over.
At that time, Charlotte.
Jordan and his general manager have been waiting.
You see, this office is big and wide, and there are two middle-aged bald heads sitting here, their heads are smooth and shiny.
Of course bald men like bald men.
The people sitting here are the two people who hold the authority of Bobcat.
Jordan and Bobcats general manager Qiu Ruike.
Qiu Ruike is a Chinese. He had previously served as the general manager of the Blazers, but was fired within a year, becoming the general manager with the shortest tenure in history.
Jordan likes to be a maverick, and he directly found this bald Asian guy who looked very unhappy.
Whether they had a "boy, do you want to fight the world with me?" conversation is unknown, but Qiu Rick has always been deeply trusted by Jordan.
It's just that recently, Qiu Ruike feels that he, the general manager, is not as good as a dog.
Dogs please their masters, and he and Jordan are at odds.
He strongly opposed the selection of Lillard last year, but Jordan made a final decision without allowing anyone to object.
As it turned out, he was not wrong.
This year, he wanted to choose an insider to increase the hardness of the team's insider, but Joe boss is here again
Although he picked Lillard by luck last year, but now, can he still pick the right man of the team outside the lottery?
Jordan claimed Antetokounmpo was the future of the team in front of Churick.
Chu Rick looked disdainful.
Jordan is worthy of being a perfect disciple of the past, and he has a lot of experience in the matter of leapfrog command. He single-handedly handled the team's transactions, brought Antetokounmpo under his command, and got the Blazers with the top three protections. A first-round pick.
The matter has come to this point, and Qiu Ruik can't change it. He is dissatisfied that Jordan didn't let him participate in the negotiation.
If he is allowed to come, he will definitely allow the Blazers to send an unprotected first-round pick.
Now, one wave is not flat, and another wave is rising.
Jordan is at it again.
"Michael, with all due respect, I don't see the need for this deal."
Jordan took a starter to exchange for the [-]th overall pick in the first round, and selected the French Spider-Man.
This is not bad, the team needs a big center, this deal is decent, there is nothing wrong with it.
However, he is now waiting for other teams' trading plans.
He seemed to know someone was bound to call, offering a deal with no equivalent in return.
"Rich, there are many things that can't just be seen on the surface."
Jordan said flatly.
"We can ask for bigger rewards," Churick said.
"That's why I say, don't just look at the surface."
Jordan said: "You only focus on the outside, so you like to sell dicks, like Cody Zeller, and I see their flaws, too, this deal, since I want it to happen, it has to have it sex."
"Necessity? Where?"
"You don't have to know."
Jordan said flatly.
"Which team are you on?" Jordan asked.
Chu Rick snorted, "We'll be at the Raptors soon."
"Interesting." Jordan looked at the TV.
When Jordan's eyes fell on the TV, the spokesperson of the league came out.
Second-round picks usually have another official announcement.
"In the 2013 NBA Draft, the Toronto Raptors selected Mike Muscala with the 13th pick in the second round."
Jordan carefully read the official presentation for Muscala.
It can be seen that Muscala is a pure center, which just meets the needs of the Bobcats.
Needless to say, this must have been arranged by Li Xing.
The Bobcats suffered from this deal, but the [-]th pick in the first round may not even be selected in the rotation if they do not have a pair of discerning eyes.
Li Xing helped him pick one out of the crowd, and it can be said that he helped Charlotte stop the loss as much as possible.
It was a gentleman's deal between the two of them.
"almost."
Jordan was waiting for a call from the Raptors.
A few minutes later, the phone rang.
Qiu Ruike was about to answer, but Jordan snatched the phone.
"Let's talk about a business."
Colangelo obviously lacked confidence and lacked energy.
"Oh? Tell me." Jordan said lightly.
Colangelo heard Jordan's voice, and he felt a chill in his heart.
This kind of matter is usually dealt with by the general manager. As the boss, Jordan actually dispatched it himself.
There are two possibilities. Li Xing's conspiracy was discovered, so Jordan came to stop it; or, this matter was planned by Li Xing and Jordan.
Thinking about the friendship between Li Xing and Jordan, Colangelo guessed the answer.
He recalled the plan proposed by Li Xing, and said it without reservation.
On the other side of the phone, Jordan hesitated for less than two seconds.
"We've made a deal."
"Beep beep."
The general managers on both sides were all stunned.
How did you close the deal?
That's the deal?
Bargain!big brother!
Qiu Rick looked at Jordan in a daze: "What happened?"
"I sent the French to Toronto."
"In exchange for what?"
"Mike Muscala and a future second-round pick."
"you!!"
Toronto
General Manager's Office
Colangelo hung up the phone, feeling a chill down his spine.
Li Xing planned everything behind the scenes, but he didn't know anything, he was like a marionette.
Whatever Li Xing asked him to do, he would do.
His will, his ideas, his plans, are not important at all.
"Fuck you bastard!"
Colangelo smashed the phone on the table to pieces.
