The night is sultry.
Downstairs is an enthusiastic crowd, where his brothers, teammates, partners and acquaintances are swaying sweat and passion, and above his head is the night sky full of stars. Ji Feng is lying on a lounger, sitting on his left hand side. Close lover is hot, sitting on the right is his confidante Avril. The two of them may have squinted their eyes because the environment is too comfortable, and they are about to fall asleep. The hot little mouth is pouting. There was still chewing on the barbecue that Ji Feng had just fed.
Don't forget to eat even when you fall asleep!
And in front of him is a barbecue table with Chinese characteristics, and a chef from a five-star restaurant is grilling seafood and various meats for his party.
"This is called life." Ji Feng took a sip of wine, ate a large piece of barbecue that had not been eaten for many years, and then sighed comfortably. This is the real rest, just for a while. , Ji Feng already felt that his exhaustion had gone out a lot.
If he can, Ji Feng really wants to lie down like this for a lifetime, but he really just thinks about it. Ji Feng’s career is far from reaching the end of work. He still has a lot of way to go. Maybe after retirement in the future, this will be Ji Feng's ideal life.
But now, Ji Feng can indeed live like this life in Jiuchi Roulin for a while.
Of course, it would be better without that old guy...
"You kid will really enjoy it. I have to say that this Chinese-style barbecue is indeed more flavorful. The chef, here is also a lamb, what is it, yes, lamb skewers!"
It was Ji Feng’s closest partner and the hottest player agent in the league today. James was the same. After learning that Ji Feng had returned to Los Angeles with the team, he touched here and followed Ji Feng. The building occupies the place closest to the table, so I won’t leave.
"So you really just came to eat..." Ji Feng looked helplessly at the feasting James, saying that in the past two years, James has been a bit of a workaholic development. Usually he has to deal with too many things. , Therefore, generally speaking with Ji Feng is on business, and unless it is particularly important, James generally will not appear at this time.
"Hey, the barbecue is really good. Why didn't I find it the last time I went to China." Hearing what Ji Feng said, James reluctantly put down the plate.
"First of all, of course to congratulate you on winning and winning the FMVP again. Seriously, I still don't believe that people who had to stay away from the stadium because of heart problems can get to this point." James said with emotion, and then returned to Ji Feng bumped into a cup, think about the beginning, and then look at the present, it is really like a dream.
But James didn’t come here today. He really has very important things to talk to Ji Feng: "Hey, you don’t know how busy I am. Recently, the bosses are all crazy. Now This season is finally over, and the crisis is finally coming."
"En?" Ji Feng sat up straight and looked around. James had already made people guard the passageway, and besides himself and James, there were only Avril and Reba and a few chefs on the rooftop.
Ji Feng signaled that the chef could go downstairs first and paid a high salary. Avril also knew that Ji Feng had something important to talk about. She was not interested in this kind of thing, so she went downstairs to look for mildew.
Seeing that people were walking almost, and the rest were his own, James began to slowly talk about...
"Sure enough, the one who should have come will still come." After Ji Feng heard it, Ji Feng frowned.
What James said is nothing else, it is precisely these seasons that have been announced, and labor disputes have intensified this season!
In a capitalist society, employers and employees will inevitably have conflicts for their own rights. When employers face financial pressure for losses, they hope to maintain overall operations by reducing their salaries; but at the same time, laborers want better treatment. If they are willing to sacrifice their own rights and the employer and the employee are not in agreement, they may face a situation where employees are unwilling to continue to work for the employer, or the employer is unwilling to allow the employee to return to work, which may cause everyone to face Shut down.
In the NBA, this kind of thing is not uncommon. In the 70-year history of the NBA, it has faced a total of 3 league shutdowns, the most recent being in 1999.
Every 7 years in the NBA, there is a labor-management negotiation. Labor is the player, capital is the owner of each team and NBA president Stern. He is the most important decision maker.
Stern asked to lower the wages of players and raise the age threshold of the NBA. However, the NBA players represented by the chairman of the player union wanted to increase their annual salary, raise the salary cap, and lower the age threshold, so that high school players can easily enter. NBA.
Stern also said a classic sentence at the time: "The salary of NBA players is much higher than that of ordinary people, and should not be demanded more."
This caused extreme dissatisfaction with the players union and refused to sign on the labor contract. And a general strike was carried out. The NBA was shut down. The final result was that Stern and the players union each stepped back and raised the salary cap, but restricted The age at which players can enter the league~EbookFREE.me~ The NBA labor dispute has lasted for 129 days from the summer to November 7th. The loss of 32 regular season games and the cancellation of the All-Star were exchanged for the price For so many years of peace.
Now, peace has a tendency to be broken again.
"Are you ready for the summer plan?" Ji Feng asked.
"The general direction has been done. Recently, it is the championship parade, the draft conference, and then you can return to China. In addition to the China tour every summer, there will be a national parade this year, which can better find the potential we need. Players."
"Of course, the activities of major sponsors are also needed. Uncle Drew is going to shoot the fourth film. Pepsi even wants to make a similar basketball movie in the past two years because the effect of this short film is really great. They think Let you continue to play, and even offer a $100 million renewal."
"Other endorsers have also put forward high-priced renewal requests. UA wants you to visit their headquarters to discuss the design of the three generations of the crazy front next season."
"Versace wants to bind you to the heat, put out a summer dress, and the Mercedes-Benz new car launch conference wants to invite you to attend."
"Others are invitations to variety shows from all over the world. Major TV stations in Japan and South Korea have sent invitations, but I won't mention them in China. Anyway, my mailbox is full and my phone calls have been hit for many days."
"Of course, there are also many song invitations. Universal Music is bothering me to send you records, concert cooperation invitations, and movie guest invitations."
"These all require you to make your own decisions."
James talked about the possible plans for Ji Feng's summer in one breath.
This is the life of Ji Feng, even in the offseason, it is extremely busy, no way, this is the price of fame.
