In fact, Cohan can directly negotiate with Ron Adams, but Adams was invited by Deng Fang, and his annual salary was also promised by Deng Fang. With Deng Fang's current status in the team, Adams' annual salary adjustment must be in line with
Deng Fang said it.
Seeing that Deng Fang had no objection, Cohan hesitated and said: "The other thing is, if you are willing, I can give you an annual salary of 20 million."
"Huh?" Deng Fang was a little confused.
Is there such a good thing?
This year I earned more than 17 million from winning games, which is almost the limit.
It would be nice to give him an annual salary of 20 million yuan a year.
But how can it be possible in this world to be born a loser!
There must be something wrong with what Cohan said.
Sure enough, Cohan immediately said: "But the premise is that we have to remove the acquisition of team shares from the contract."
Deng Fang finally understood.
Cohan still feels sorry for his wallet!
When signing the contract, Deng Fang added a special clause. Every time he won a championship, Deng Fang would get 10% of the team's shares. If he won ten championships, he would become the team owner and pay Cohan 500 million US dollars in compensation.
.
At that time, Cohan thought this was impossible, so he agreed to Deng Fang.
You can't even be a head coach for one season and still win a championship?
Dream on!
Cohan completely regarded Deng Fang as a young and ignorant child dreaming!
That's why Cohan agreed to Deng Fang's conditions.
The result, of course, made Cohan extremely distressed.
It's great to win the championship, but because of this championship, Deng Fang will take away 10% of the team's shares!
This will cost Cohan his life!
The Warriors are still worth a lot of money!
Deng Fang remembers clearly that in 2010, Lacob sold his shares in the Celtics and teamed up with Guber, the founder of Mandalay Film and Television, to acquire Cohan for US$450 million.
Acquired the Golden State Warriors.
In other words, the Warriors are worth at least $450 million!
Historically, the Warriors were at a low point when Lacob took the shot and were not valuable.
And now that the Warriors ball market is booming, it is definitely more valuable.
US$500 million is definitely indispensable!
After winning the championship, Deng Fang immediately took away 10%!
That’s $50 million!
This number is not small!
That’s why Cohan felt so distressed!
Why was I so stupid back then?
Why did you agree to Deng Fang’s request?
But there is no point regretting it. The writing is there in black and white. The only way Cohan can think of is to deceive Deng Fang.
Anyway, Deng Fang is young and inexperienced. What if Deng Fang agrees?
This year Deng Fang obtained 10% of the shares, which would be worth 50 million. If he wins the championship again later, Deng Fang will have more shares and get more money!
Anyway, Deng Fang doesn’t know how much the team is worth. For such a young kid, you can’t give him tens of millions without making him faint with joy!
But Deng Fang was not stupid. He smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter. The contract should be as it was before. I think it's good as it is now."
"Then as long as you can lead the team to win the championship, can I give you an additional $30 million each time? As long as you agree to remove this clause." Cohan did not give up and continued to ask.
With an annual salary of 20 million and a reward of 30 million for a championship, this price is already quite attractive!
"No need." Deng Fang replied: "There is too much money and it is useless. I still want shares."
Deng Fang was not stupid at all, and he could still settle accounts.
Cohan had no choice but to give up.
Fortunately, the championship is not that easy to win!
This year Deng Fang led the team to win the championship. Can he still win it next year?
Do you really think that all other teams in the league are doing nothing?
Although the contract has no fixed term, and although Deng Fang has to pay a considerable price to win the championship, it is not easy for Deng Fang to stay with the Warriors.
The contract signed by the two previously made clear requirements for Deng Fang’s performance in leading the team:
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.
These requirements don’t say which year they are from!
This means that as long as Deng Fang fails to meet the requirements for one year, Cohan can kick Deng Fang out.
If you look for any head coach, no one would dare to say that they have achieved this requirement for several consecutive years!
Who can guarantee victory in the opening game?
What if you are unlucky and lose the ball!
Who can guarantee that the winning rate in the first ten games will be more than half?
If new players are added and they don't get along well, it's possible to finish last in the first ten games!
Even the defending champion cannot guarantee that he will play well in the first few games!
As for leading the team into the playoffs, no head coach can guarantee that he can do it every year.
The last one is even more difficult to win the championship within three years!
As strong as Popovich and Zen Master, who can guarantee this?
Of course, there is another reason why Cohan did not insist on changing the contract, that is, if Deng Fang really wants to win the championship again, Cohan will not lose!
Although winning a championship requires giving Deng Fang a lot of money and 10% of his shares, Cohan also made a lot of money!
If nothing else, this year’s ticket revenue has doubled compared to previous years!
In addition, because they won the championship, because the team has a good record and is full of entertainment, the Warriors also received a lot of money from advertisers!
This income is no less than ticket income!
And then there’s the local broadcast contract!
Because they won the championship, attention was greatly increased, and the team's prospects were unlimited. The local broadcaster directly offered a 10-year, 2 billion contract!
This is a sky-high contract!
200 million per year!
Adding up all the income, Cohan earned at least several hundred million dollars!
The Warriors haven't seen much increase in spending.
Even if Deng Fang's annual salary is very high, even if Deng Fang takes 10% of the shares, Cohan is still a good deal!
No matter how much you give to Deng Fang, how much can you get?
An annual salary of 17.55 million, plus about 50 million shares, the total is just over 60 million.
Compared with the dismal management of previous years, Cohan is already quite satisfied.
Deng Fang made a lot of money, and he made even more!
Since a new contract cannot be negotiated, let's stick to the old one.
If Deng Fang doesn't get much money, it means the team's record is very poor, and in that case Cohan won't make much money either!
What's more, Deng Fang made a lot of money, and that was all earned by his own abilities!
That’s what they deserve!
Cohan finally accepted this fact.
All of this was also part of Deng Fang's calculations.
When you make money yourself, you must also let others make money, and you can’t push your boss into a hurry!
Sharing the benefits will make things last longer.
After discussing the contract, the two briefly discussed various matters for the new season.
Deng Fang is the head coach and is also responsible for signing and trading players. At the same time, he is now the team's small owner. These matters must be discussed with Deng Fang.
For Deng Fang, he doesn't want to take care of the team's operations, but he must take control of the signing and trading of players.
