Seeing that Cohan agreed, Deng Fang nodded and continued: "If I win a championship, I will own 10% of the team's shares. If I win two championships, I will own 20% of the team's shares.
And so on."
?
!
Cohan is going to be so happy!
I have never seen such a confident person!
No, this is not confidence.
This is arrogance!
I really don’t know how Mr. Upton fell in love with Deng Fang!
If it weren't for Upton's sake, Cohan would have asked security to send Deng Fang directly to a mental hospital.
"Okay." Cohan agreed immediately.
You know, the Warriors have won three championships since the team was founded. The most recent one was in 1975, which is more than 30 years ago!
During this period, a weak team that cannot make the playoffs is the true face of the Warriors!
Just ask Malone of the Jazz and Charles Barkley, who has been laughed at by O'Neal, about how difficult it is to win a championship.
There are so many talented players, such dazzling superstars, even if they put down their bodies to hug their thighs at the end of their careers, they still haven't won a championship!
How many teams aim to make the playoffs?
How many teams make it to the second round of the playoffs and feel like they've accomplished their mission!
champion?
too difficult!
That requires the right time, place, and right people!
Cohan doesn't think Deng Fang can win a championship at all!
What if we win a championship?
In that case, even if Deng Fang is given 10% of the shares, Cohan will definitely not lose money!
As for the second championship and the third one, isn’t that just a joke?
And so on!
Cohan was outraged again.
Impossible things, you name it!
I promise as much as you ask for!
"If you think about it this way, if I win 10 championships, the team will completely belong to me." Deng Fang said calmly: "Of course, I won't let you suffer. If that day comes, I will bid 500 million.
U.S. dollars will be given to you as compensation.”
Cohan was stunned when he heard this!
What are you talking about?
10 championships?
The team belongs to you?
Give me 500 million?
Dollars!
How much is your total net worth now?
I see you don’t even have five dollars on you!
Young people are young people!
Dare to think and dare to speak!
Of course, the only thing missing is brains...
"Do you agree?" Seeing that Cohan didn't speak, Deng Fang asked again.
"I agree," Cohan replied with a shrug.
Well, for Mr. Upton's sake, just play with this young man for a few days!
It's very likely that he won't be on the team after the opening game!
"That's good. Now that we've reached a consensus, we can sign the contract!" Deng Fang nodded.
Cohan has no problem with that.
Sign the contract quickly so you can take care of other things.
The contract was signed quickly.
A team has a dedicated lawyer responsible for signing contracts.
Ten minutes later, a signed contract was placed in front of Deng Fang.
After removing large sections of formatted text terms, the most important points in the contract are as follows:
The requirements that Deng Fang must meet——
1. Win the opening game.
2. The winning rate in the first ten games is more than half.
3. Lead the team to the playoffs.
4. Won the championship at least once within three years.
If the team fails to do any of the above, the team can terminate the contract with Deng Fang and receive a severance fee of 100,000 yuan.
The rights that Deng Fang has——
1. The salary depends on the outcome of the game, 100,000 for a win and 50,000 for a loss.
2. The bonus for winning a game in the first round of the playoffs is 200,000, the bonus for the second round is 400,000, and so on.
3. The right to trade players and team draft picks.
4.Have the right to decide whether to leave or leave the coaching staff after 10 games.
4. Each time he wins a championship, he will get 10% of the team's shares. If he wins ten championships, he will become the team owner and pay Cohan 500 million US dollars in compensation.
After reading the contract and confirming that there was no problem, Deng Fang nodded and said: "That's it. I hope we can celebrate the championship here in July next year!"
With a smile on his face, Cohan stood up and shook hands with Deng Fang.
However, no matter how he looked at it, Deng Fang felt that Cohan looked at him like he was looking at a fool...
Deng Fang added: "I have a request."
"Please say."
"Can you advance my salary a little first?" Deng Fang asked.
When Deng Fang came to this world, he was penniless and had nothing.
From now on, you have to consider issues such as eating, drinking, and diarrhea.
It all costs money!
"Okay." Cohan smiled and nodded, but he snorted in his heart:
Look, I knew you didn’t even have five dollars on you!
Pay back $500 million!
Have you ever seen what ten thousand dollars looks like?
Young people!
However, Cohan immediately said: "You can advance part of your salary first, but the maximum I can give you is 100,000."
This amount happened to be Deng Fang's dismissal fee.
I have to say that Cohan is still very smart.
In fact, Cohan only wanted to give Deng Fang the 100,000 yuan.
He simply did not think that Deng Fang had the ability to lead a team.
This amount of money is considered as the face of selling to Upton.
"Okay!" Deng Fang nodded and said: "Then give me 100,000 first. However, I require monthly payment for the rest of the salary."
Cohan nodded in agreement.
Soon, the finance department brought a check, and Cohan signed it and handed it to Deng Fang.
With this money, Deng Fang's life problems were solved in a short period of time.
"OK!" Deng Fang took the check and put it in his arms: "If I guess correctly, the draft will be held soon. The team must be very busy now. I will start working as soon as possible if possible."
To win, good players are necessary.
If you want to trade for good players, the best time is before and after the draft.
Rebuilding teams want draft picks, teams with ideas want capable players, some focus on the future, some focus on the present, everyone gets what they need.
This time period is the best time to conclude a deal.
If you miss it, you'll be in trouble.
Cohan was a little surprised that Deng Fang got into the role so quickly.
So quickly he considers himself the head coach!
But that's okay.
Young people can understand that.
Cohan nodded and said: "Yes, the draft matters were previously the responsibility of the team's general manager Tim and head coach Nelson. I am now informing them to hand over this job to you and let them listen to you."
"What about old coach Nelson?" Deng Fang was a little worried.
A veteran coach with the most seniority in the NBA must be dissatisfied when his rights are so mysteriously deprived of him.
Deng Fang did not want to conflict with him.
"No problem." Cohan said: "I will talk to Nelson and ask him to take some time off. We will tell the public that he is recuperating due to injury and that you will temporarily take over as head coach."
Deng Fang nodded.
That way there's no problem.
I am here to lead the team to win the championship, not to intrigue and deal with complicated personnel relationships.
"If that's okay, you can come to work tomorrow," Cohan said.
Now that you have decided and signed the contract, there is no need to hesitate.
The Warriors have been bad for so many years. They have changed a lot of general managers and head coaches, but there has been no improvement.
Then, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to let this young man give it a try!
Anyway, no matter how bad it is, it won’t get any worse!
Deng Fang nodded, stood up, shook hands with Cohan, and walked out of the office with the contract he just signed.
