Super Lord of the Rings

Wang Jun bought a luxury house in Los Angeles, and the attitude of wanting to settle down and start a new life has doubled the pressure on the Bulls management.

On January 24, as Chinese New Year approached, Wang Jun received a call from Ryan Hughes. Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf arrived in Los Angeles and asked him to have an interview in person.

Wang Jun did not refuse, and called Hughes to negotiate together.

"Wang, congratulations to your sister for her successful operation."

"thanks."

Reinsdorf shook hands with him, looking like a kind-faced elder.

But Wang Jun has already seen clearly the face of this person, and he is only interested in profit.

Because he is Wang Jun, the No. 1 star in China, and has amazing commercial value, the boss can speak so politely. For example, Hinrich, who has been fighting for the Bulls for four years, did not receive a greeting from the boss when he was traded.

Reinsdorf said gently: "I want to talk to you about the comeback. You love basketball. Did you really retire like this? If you don't play in the future, are you willing?"

"It depends on the mood. Jordan also retired halfway, but I was a little earlier than him." Wang Jun said calmly.

Reinsdorf wanted to see some waves in his eyes, but unfortunately there were none.

He had already decided to cooperate with Vivek, and he came today just for perfunctory.

Reinsdorf said: "You don't have to leave Chicago. You can try something new during the break, like playing baseball? As long as you are still playing sports, many people will benefit."

"yes?"

"On the contrary, if you give up sports, many people will be implicated and unlucky. You will bring a lot of chain reactions, the ratings will be affected, and the stocks of the products you endorse will fall. Michael has also experienced all this back then, and his choices are more mature than yours. , and did not leave the public eye. I think you should follow his example, we can help you." Reinsdorf induced Wang Jun.

He believes that this young man will be tempted, and he believes that a person who has status will not give up his hard-earned fame easily.

Wang Jun was silent for a moment, and just about to speak, Hughes spoke first.

"Jordan played baseball, entered the second division of the minor league team, ranked ninth in the offensive order, a fringe guy. He had a high exposure rate, and his salary was only $10,000 a month! This is the same as Michael's first three The advertising revenue of tens of millions of dollars a year during the consecutive championships is completely different.

Do you also want Wang to increase his exposure in this way? "

Hughes pointed straight to the point, where is Jordan's choice mature? It was obvious that he was cheated. Can't make money, is despised by others, and is tied to the bull boss.

In fact, Jordan was meant to be born for basketball, and no matter how hard he tried on the baseball field, he always performed poorly.

Sports are different, and athletes need different talents. Jordan can't crush his opponents with his body.

Baseball commentators came to the conclusion: "He is not fit to play baseball, he was born to play basketball, he is a burden on the baseball field."

In the same year, Sports Illustrated also published an article with the headline "Shame on the Baseball Field, Michael Jordan!"

During the offseason in 1995, Jordan appeared on a taklsho show. Under the pressure of the host, Jordan finally got mad and said violently in public: "Go to **** baseball! Go to **** big Alliance! I don’t want to play anymore!”

Subsequently, Jordan held a press conference and announced another exciting news to the media all over the world and the basketball fans who love him all over the world: "I'm back!"

No matter how you look at it, this is all Jordan's dark history, and it is not beneficial to him at all. Only the Bulls owner is profiting.

At that time, the media said that Jordan owed Mrs. Reinsdorf a favor. Hughes didn't want Wang Jun to be fooled into taking this step. Trying something he was not familiar with would be a dead end.

Wang Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Lei, don't worry, I won't agree to this kind of condition. In fact...even if I get an annual salary of 30 million yuan, I won't play baseball."

"Why?" Reinsdorf asked.

"It's very simple. I don't have the slightest interest in baseball, and I don't even know the rules. Who would be bored enough to do something they don't like? Just to increase exposure? Let the audience see how embarrassing he is?" Wang Jun's reason for refusing It's hard to persuade people.

Reinsdorf knew a group of golf enthusiasts. His friends invited him to play golf, but he never went.

In his opinion, golf is a sport that works hard to create miracles, but even if you make a hole-in-one, what's the point?

People have hobbies, and only love can make people exert their strengths and achieve success.

Da Vinci is a famous all-rounder in history, with many titles, painter, fabler, sculptor, inventor, philosopher, musician, medical scientist, biologist, geographer, construction engineer and military engineer.

He was able to do this, and he became one of the three masters of the Italian Renaissance. In addition to genius, it is also because of interest.

If someone said to Da Vinci: "I think you have the talent to be a boxer, I recommend you to box."

If Da Vinci really went, he should draw an oil painting of himself, title it "The Last Silly X", and then explain the mentally handicapped thinking from a biological point of view.

Except for the mentally handicapped, who would do something that they don't understand at all just because others are fooling around? Don't be afraid to run into MLM...

No one can change your interest. And people with strong personalities don't like to be pushed away in life, and Wang Jun is such a person. He knows what he likes and what he wants to do, and he will choose his own path in the future.

Reinsdorf changed his words and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't play baseball, so when will you come back? Bulls fans like you, Chicago needs you, we will not cut off contact with you, as long as you want, you can come back in the Bulls at any time, We will give you a satisfactory contract."

"Let Paxson offer me a sincere contract of less than 100 million yuan for five years, so that I can appear to be low-paid and high-powered?" Wang Jun smiled.

Reinsdorf's heart skipped a beat, his tone was not very good. He realized that Wang Jun really planned to distance himself from the Bulls.

However, he came prepared, calmed down quickly, and said lightly: "The Bulls' plan is to build a super dynasty. As the core of the team, people who are likely to surpass Michael Jordan in the future, we thought you would consider a slight salary cut." Attracting good teammates to join, that’s why we got the offer, just asked, Mr. Hughes directly refused, as long as the negotiation continues, we will of course give you a maximum salary, the decision is up to you.”

"Yes, it's up to me to decide." Wang Jun smiled even more.

Reinsdorf, who was blocked by a sentence, couldn't breathe, and his ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.

He thought he could play the fan favor card and persuade Wang Jun to change his mind and continue to play for the Bulls.

But Wang Jun doesn't take the hard way, as long as he doesn't choose the bull, who can force him? With the current situation in the NBA, he will definitely come back in the future. Could it be that the Bulls can only watch him leave and get nothing?

If Wang Leying fell ill, the Bulls management came forward to help find the heart and use the media to speak for Wang Jun, he would be ashamed to leave.

However, Reinsdorf questioned Wang Jun's professional ethics and expressed his dissatisfaction. The rift has long been irreparable.

If I knew today, why bother.
