Chapter 1,219 Selling Favors

After bidding farewell to James and Cameron, Lin Fengma rushed to the hospital without stopping. Since James and Mellon wanted the entire Houston Rockets team to shoot an advertisement for his "Qianyuan" mobile phone, he had to Go talk to the Houston Rockets stars.

As for the candidate for the president of "Lin Feng Film and Television Entertainment Company", Lin Feng has no clue yet. In Lin Feng's view, he must be an American, and he must have management skills that satisfy Lin Feng, and preferably someone who can be liked by American movie fans. This condition is too difficult. In this regard, Lin Feng could only put it aside for the time being. After all, things have priorities.

Not long after, Lin Feng arrived in Houston. Now that we have entered March, it is almost the final stage of the regular season, and each team is also working hard for home court advantage in the playoffs. At this time, winning or losing a game may even change the final regular season ranking, thereby affecting their home court advantage in the playoffs. As a result, at this time, Lin Feng actually asked the whole team to shoot a commercial. Although it only took two and a half days, this was still something that Houston Rockets head coach Rudy Tomjanovich firmly refused to allow.

"Boss, I don't care what reasons you have, but at this critical moment, I will never allow players to shoot any commercials!" Rudy Tomjanovich heard that Lin Feng asked several main players on the team to go When filming an advertisement, I suddenly became very angry and had a strong tendency to fight with Lin Feng when I had a disagreement.

"Tang Shuai, calm down, calm down, don't be angry, you are sick, if you want to offend the illness, it will not be good!" Dawson, general manager of the Houston Rockets on the side, saw Rudy and Tomjanovich angry, and hurriedly said Discourage from the side.

Now is a critical moment for the team. After two years of tremendous changes, the Houston Rockets have finally returned to the league's top team. If the owner and head coach are at odds at this time, it will be fatal. Moreover, Rudy Tomjanovich is sick. Although his bladder addiction can be cured by God, what if he gets angry again? If the Houston Rockets don't have their head coach at this time, the consequences will be disastrous.

At this time, on the training ground.

"Michael, what did you say happened inside? It sounds like an old man's voice. Why is he so angry? What does the boss want to do this time? Does he want to trade?" Rodman nudged his side with his elbow. asked Jordan, who was drinking.

Michael Jordan looked at the general manager's office in the distance, thought for a moment, and shook his head.

"Probably not. The trade period has passed now and it is impossible to trade. And now our record is tied with the Los Angeles Lakers for first place in the league. There is no reason for the team to choose to trade now. What's more, rookies like James and Wade Our performance has far surpassed that of most players in the league, and it is impossible to trade. As for us, the boss will not trade. Okay, let's go practice. We are old players and we must set an example!" Michael Jordan finished his wise analysis, Then he dragged Rodman back to the practice field.

Rodman pursed his lips.

That's the bad thing about being on the same team as Michael and Jordan. You said, everyone is old and about to retire, and they still practice so hard every day, and they talk about leading by example. If those rookies don't have this kind of self-discipline , then don’t want to hang out in the alliance. As a result, in order to set an example, he still completes daily basic training with these rookies. Rodman is really helpless and wants to leave. It's a pity that there is Jordan on the team. This is the only person he respects and fears out of his heart, leaving him helpless.

It can be said that the outside world originally thought that Rodman would become a hidden danger for the Houston Rockets, which was almost entirely composed of rookies. However, under Jordan's intimidation, he instead became a role model for James, LeBron and Wade. This is to the outside world. It's quite ironic. Especially for Dallas Mavericks owner Cuban, who spent so much effort to invite Rodman, but in the end had to ask Rodman away because he couldn't stand his weird temper, it is really ironic.

At this time, in the general manager's office, Rudy Tomjanovich was dissuaded by Dawson and Morey. Finally calmed down.

Lin Feng was also speechless for a while. He didn't expect Rudy Tomjanovich to be so popular. This was really beyond Lin Feng's expectation.

"Tang Shuai, didn't I discuss this with you? And only two and a half days is enough. Just treat it like everyone relaxes." Lin Feng persuaded tactfully.

Rudy Tomjanovich was speechless when he heard this. If it weren't for the fact that the Houston Rockets are what they are now because of Lin Feng, Rudy and Tomjanovich would have had so much to say to Lin Feng, and they would have slapped the table and left long ago.

"Jianban, now that the Houston Rockets finally have the opportunity to win the league's first record in the regular season, they can't let it go in vain. You have to know that this year may be the last year for Jordan, Rodman, Olajuwon and others. If they don’t work hard this year, veterans of their age may retire. They chose to join the Rockets not for money, but for honor. They gave me their honor, and I will never let them down. Trust!" Rudy Tomjanovich calmed down the excitement in his heart and persuaded him with sincere words.

Lin Feng naturally understood what Rudy-Tomjanovich meant, but this was related to the future of his "Qianyuan" mobile phone and "Baidu-Yahoo", so he couldn't give up just yet.

The two sides had a fierce quarrel again. And because the voices of both parties were loud enough, this quarrel finally affected the players outside. When the team's performance is booming, the two bosses of the team have a quarrel, which is a disaster for all players.

For Jordan, Rodman, James LeBron and others, Lin Feng is Bole. It was Lin Feng who kneaded them together through various means to create today's Houston Rockets. But Rudy and Tomjanovich are their mentors and helpful friends. Without Rudy and Tomjanovich, the Houston Rockets would never have achieved what they are today, and James, LeBron, Wade and others would not have progressed so fast.

These two little life quarrels, for Jordan and others, they really don’t know who to support. Although they still don't know why Lin Feng and Lu Pao Tomjanovich had a quarrel. At this moment, Rudy Tomjanovich opened the door and pointed at everyone.

"Boss, let's ask these players now and see how they decide." Rudy Tomjanovich said with a red face.

The team owners are eager for the team to perform well and are focused on results. But Lin Feng was lucky. At the critical moment, he actually asked the main players of the team to shoot commercials. Isn't this a hindrance? Therefore, after arguing with Lin Feng to no avail, Rudy asked Norwich to simply leave everything to these players... Xiaojue couldn't believe that this player would disregard Peng's highest honor. What an advertisement.

Immediately, after Dawson and Morey explained the whole story, all the teams stared blankly. It is true that the team's performance should be the most important thing at this time, but cooperating with Hollywood's gold medal directors to shoot commercials is still very attractive to many people. Besides, it's only two and a half days. Seriously, it won't delay anything. And if you shoot commercials for Lin Feng, you will still get money after all. Even if you don't have the money to get it, if you give Lin Feng a favor, then when you sign the contract in the future, the salary will be higher, right?

Among the players, most of them have already made their decision, but they just don't dare to express it. After all, the current boss of this team is Michael Jordan. In Jordan's team, matters related to the future of the entire team, he does not say anything. , no one else would dare to say it first, even if it was to stab Rodman.

Rudy Tomjanovich naturally understands this. So look to Michael Jordan. As long as Jordan refuses, other players will certainly refuse. Judging from Jordan's desire to win, Jordan will never agree to shoot any commercials at this time.

But what surprised Rudy Tomjanovich was that Michael Jordan actually agreed.

"Lin, I don't have any objections to letting us go shoot commercials. But you must agree to two conditions." Michael Jordan said after pondering for a moment.

When Lin Feng heard this, he raised his eyebrows and winked at Rudy Tomjanovich, who was standing aside with a livid face. Look, the players all support it, so why do you have to fight against me? It won’t be long until two and a half days. How about blowing your beard and staring at me?

Rudy Tomjanovich naturally saw Lin Feng's eyes, but at this moment, Rudy Tomjanovich, who was trembling all over with anger, was too lazy to pay attention to Lin Feng. He wanted to see why Michael Jordan was here. Now at this critical moment, I agreed to shoot an advertisement.

"Lin, the first requirement is that this commercial must be shot in the name of our entire team, which means everyone must be in the commercial?" Michael Jordan said calmly.

Lin Feng was slightly startled when he heard this. He didn't expect that Michael Jordan made this request. However, Lin Feng naturally agreed to this request. Jordan's move is to enhance the team's cohesion. In recent times, with the growth of James, LeBron, Wade, Yao Ming and others, the substitutes in the team have basically not played much this season, which is somewhat of a complaint. Therefore, Michael and Jordan took advantage of this opportunity to shoot a group commercial, hoping to calm down the mood of these substitutes and at the same time make the relationship between the team players more harmonious.

Lin Feng nodded and agreed.

"Lin, the second requirement is that in terms of treatment, equal pay for equal work must be equal, and all players have the same advertising salary." Michael Jordan said.

This requirement is actually very similar to the first requirement. Michael and Jordan are still working hard to make the team more cohesive. In terms of fame, the most famous Houston Rockets player is undoubtedly Michael Jordan. Next is Yao Ming, the number one pick from China, followed by James, LeBron and Wade, two top rookies, and then Rodman and Rajuwon. As for Billups and others, that's even more Wait for the next time.

Now Michael and Jordan require everyone to get the same salary, obviously to make this team more united, so that everyone can abandon all prejudices and just work hard for victory. Because this may be Michael Jordan's last season, and no one knows whether he will play next season. In this case, Michael Jordan does not want his comeback and transfer to become a laughing stock. He wants to win. And the only thing he can see is that ring! Lin Feng looked at the rest of the team, and none of them had any objections to Michael Jordan's demand for equal pay for equal work. After all, Michael Jordan is the most famous person on the team, so he agreed. Naturally, other people have no objections. In particular, many substitutes showed some joy on their faces. After all, for these substitutes, their fame is far less than that of the main players, and the salary will definitely not be the same if they are in commercials. And now Michael Jordan's decision to provide equal pay for equal work is undoubtedly a windfall for these poor substitutes with low wages.

Slowly scanning the crowd, Lin Feng nodded repeatedly. It was indeed a wise choice for me to poach Michael Jordan at all costs. Michael Jordan not only brought the persistence of victory, but also brought unity and cohesion to everyone. No matter what grudges there are between each other, in the same team, everyone has to work together.

However, Lin Feng was satisfied, but Rudy Janovich was not. He never thought that Michael Jordan would agree to Lin Feng's bullshit plan to shoot an advertisement, and he actually asked the whole team to shoot it. This made Rudy Tomjanovich so angry that he almost didn't point at Michael Jordan. The nose was scolded.

No training, please don't be angry. Naturally, we also want to win and don’t want to miss out at a critical moment. However, we must also meet the boss's requirements. After all, he is our "food and clothing parent" and we dare not offend him! "Michael Jordan said with a pun.

When Rudy Tomjanovich heard this, he immediately lost his temper. Michael Jordan is seeking benefits for all players. Under this premise, Rudy Tomjanovich can't say much.

Lin Feng heard this and shook his head repeatedly. This Michael Jordan is hinting to himself that this time they sold themselves a favor. When the team competed with the Los Angeles Lakers for the league's first record, they withstood the pressure of the head coach. After agreeing to shoot an advertisement, Lin Feng had to be ungrateful and had to return the favor. As for when to pay it back, it must be when the contract is renewed!

Damn it, Michael, he still doesn’t forget that he is the chairman of the players union, helping these people hate high salaries! Lin Feng secretly glared at Michael Jordan. If this guy did this, he would not be too stingy when the time comes to renew his contract.

"By the way, coach, although we will be delayed for two and a half days because of this, we will definitely practice extra to make up for the time!" Michael Jordan turned to the suffocating Lupu Tomjanovich and said.

"Are you right?" Michael Jordan shouted to the players aside.

"Yes! I will definitely make it up." Everyone shouted.

Lin Feng and Rudy Tomjanovich looked at each other and smiled. (To be continued)
