I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 11 Salary Increase

The news that Min Congda gave all employees a 20% salary increase quickly spread throughout the team.

Employees who had been skeptical of the new airborne manager immediately viewed him better.

For the grassroots employees, a leader who can give more money is a good leader. Even if the team wins and wins the championship, it will not give honor to the employees, will it?

The green dollar is the most real thing.

Min Congda's favorability among ordinary Clippers employees has skyrocketed.

There were bursts of cheers and applause immediately upstairs and downstairs.

The former chief executive officer and current vice president Roser got the news very quickly. He was extremely shocked and immediately came to Min Congda's office to ask for clarification.

"Smart, I heard that you gave all employees a 20.00% salary increase?"

Min Congda was looking at the Clippers' financial statements in the office, and this Rother rushed in without knocking on the door.

"That's right, don't worry, as a member of the Clippers, you will also get a salary increase of 20.00%, which is not a lot."

"I'm not here to care about my wages... I... I mean, it will increase the team's expenses significantly. Did you ask the owner of Sterling for permission?"

"Of course, otherwise, can I make this decision? The boss has entrusted me with full authority over the management of the team."

Sterling did say that when he left, but Rosser really didn't believe it.

He believes that Sterling will let Min Congda change the team's draft decision, but he does not believe that Sterling can agree to a salary increase for all employees.

Roser knows how stingy this boss is, and as the administrative director, Roser is in charge of finances, and helping the team save money has always been an important part of his work.

Rosser immediately took out his phone and called Sterling, who was on vacation in Hawaii.

One minute later, Min Congda looked at the expression on Roser's face and knew that he must have been stunned by Sterling.

Min Congda patted Roser on the shoulder and said, "Rose, wouldn't it be a good thing to increase your salary? Your salary is not low, right? 20.00% is a lot of money. Plan carefully how to use it well. This money."

Rosser could only helplessly say: "What you said makes sense, but the team's expenses really need to be controlled, our income..."

Min Congda interrupted him and said: "Money is not saved. Only by spending money can we make better money. We allow employees to have higher wages, attract more talents, and serve the team better. The team has a good record, attracts more fans to watch the game, and earns more tickets, so there will be more income?"

Min Congda's speech became more and more slippery, and as expected, he could improve rapidly by using more languages.

The words are very reasonable, but it is not so simple to realize.

Rosser had no choice but to sigh, then thought about the 20% salary increase, which is indeed a lot, and the new set of golf clubs that he fancy can be sold, and his mood improved a lot in an instant.

It seems that Smart, the new leader, is not useless. Without him, he can't raise his salary.

Just as he was about to leave, Min Congda suddenly grabbed Roser and whispered, "Look at Roser, I gave you a salary increase, can you lend me some money, I need some money for now, I just arrived at the team and the salary hasn't been paid yet. ..."

Rosser thought what was the matter, this guy wanted to borrow money.

Min Congda's contract is signed with the team, but his salary is not paid by the team.

Sterling said he was paid by another agency.

"Okay, how much do you want to borrow?"

"Uh, fifty."

"Fifty? Fifty thousand? (Fifty thousand in English means fifty thousand, fifty-thousand.)"

"No, no, just fifty."

"..."

Roser didn't even know what to say, you are the general manager of the team, and you have the power, so you just borrow fifty?Who can afford it?

He took out 50 yuan in cash and gave it to Min Congda, and left the office immediately, thinking that he didn't have to pay it back.

Min Congda also had no choice. Before the system paid him his salary, he had to hoard some cash in his hand.

If you can't get enough food, it would be embarrassing to go to someone to borrow money to eat.

First find an opportunity for everyone to borrow some, and then he will pay back slowly after the system pays his salary.

It is really not easy to come to work and live in a foreign country alone.

After adding wages to the employees, Min Congda felt that his work was full for a day.

After doing such a big thing, you should get off work and rest.

It's 03:30 in the afternoon and the sun is on its way down.

At this point in time, people who are busy with work should also be on their way home.

In the Clippers headquarters building, the staff are still busy with the matter at hand.

Min Congda really wanted to announce that he would leave work early, but the system prompted [It is not time to leave work, do not leave work at will to affect the work of employees. 】

It seems that the trick of leaving get off work early yesterday was filled by the system.

"Forget it, I can only give you a salary increase, and then you are not allowed to work overtime, and the rest can't help you for the time being."

To sink the Clippers, sinking the employees here is the first step.

It is necessary to cultivate the atmosphere of everyone getting off work on time, never working overtime, and being lazy.

It is said that Europeans and Americans work short hours and do not work overtime, but in fact they are only half right.

The one who works overtime with short working hours is the Ou in the front, but the Mei in the back is not necessarily.

Overtime culture is very prevalent in the United States, and NBA teams are certainly no exception.

Especially in the basketball affairs department, watching videos, doing statistics all night, traveling for a long time, and working overtime to write reports are commonplace.

The basketball affairs department is on the second floor. Min Congda decided to go to the second floor to see the work of each department, and convey the new spirit of the team's work by the way.

Seeing Min Congda going downstairs, Ada hurriedly asked, "Mr. Smart, do you have anything to do?"

Min Congda said: "Oh, I want to inspect the basketball affairs department and see how they work. By the way, please give me a brief introduction."

A team counts players and has more than [-] employees, making it a medium-sized company.

It is not easy to understand the situation of each employee in each department.

Ada was secretly happy, thinking that Mr. Smart was coming to test me again, and it was time for me to perform.

She said: "The basketball affairs department is divided into several departments. One is the basketball affairs headquarters, which is in charge of all decisions about the team's basketball affairs; the second is the coaching staff, which is responsible for player training and game command; Players; the fourth is the health management center, which is responsible for the physical and mental health of the players; the fifth is the video recording center, which is responsible for editing and organizing the game video.”

Ada has done a lot of meticulous work for this job, and it can be said that she is very comprehensive.

Min Congda nodded and asked, "Which department are you in?"

Ada faltered for a while, and said: "I... I work in the administrative department, the digital and media center, I was a social media intern before, and after I became a regular..."

"After becoming a regular, you will be an official personal assistant, but you can still continue to do social media work, and the fans' voices can be fed back to me in time."

"By the way, what do fans think of this draft?"

Faced with this question, Ada hesitated for a moment, pursed her lips, and said: "The fans think... this choice is terrible, only a stupid pig can make it, and many fans have written and called to ask, why not Pick Griffin, pick Curry."

Ada spoke directly, but Min Congda was not angry.

More and more evidence shows that he made the right decision in the draft.

Compared with 3 million US dollars, what is it to be scolded by fans?

"Continue to maintain close contact with the fans."

"Come on, let's go to various departments together."

Accompanied by Ada's guidance, Min Congda went to various departments of the Basketball Affairs Department to meet with employees.

Because of the 20% salary increase decision, the employees who had been skeptical of Min Congda expressed their favor to the new general manager one after another, and shook hands with Min Congda enthusiastically. Min Congda felt the great charm of money.

After walking around the basketball affairs department, Min Congda walked around the larger administrative department on the first floor.

The administration department is primarily responsible for non-basketball affairs, including business operations, marketing, legal, finance, corporate partnerships, sales/ticketing, human resources, and more.

In short, apart from basketball affairs, the other departments of the Clippers are the same as many commercial companies.

In the administration department, Min Congda also received a warm welcome, Roser had to look at this person differently, he was indeed courageous.

All the departments have been visited, only the coaching staff and the health center did not go, because their office is in the training hall, and Min Congda plans to go again tomorrow.

It was almost time to get off work, and Min Congda immediately announced that everyone was not allowed to work overtime and had to get off work on time.

Olshey and Roser wanted to object, but they looked at each other and knew that it was futile. If the wages could be increased, what else could he not do?
Or give up resistance and let him operate.

Before leaving, Olshey gave Min Congda a report.

"Mr. Olshey, if there is any report, let's deal with it tomorrow."

"No, Mr. Smart, this is a player trading plan to be discussed at the meeting tomorrow. It was supposed to be discussed overtime today. I will give it to you in advance so that you can understand it and make a decision tomorrow."

When Min Congda heard it, player trade?Can players still be traded like commodities?
He took the report and thought to himself: "Forget it, let's go back and study it. Maybe, like the draft, it is a decision that affects the fate of the team? Work overtime."
