The news that Min Congda gave all employees a 20% salary increase quickly spread throughout the team.
Employees who had doubts about the new airborne manager immediately changed their minds about him.
For grassroots employees, a leader who can give more money is a good leader. Even if the team wins the championship and won the championship, they will not share the honor with the employees, right?
The green dollar is the most real thing.
Min Congda's favorability among ordinary Clippers employees has skyrocketed.
Waves of cheers and applause immediately came from upstairs and downstairs.
Rosser, the former CEO and now the vice president, soon received the news. 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% salary increase?"
Min Congda was looking at the Clippers' financial statements in the office when Rosser rushed in without knocking on the door.
"Yes, don't worry, as a member of the Clippers, you will also receive a 20% salary increase, which is not a penny."
"I'm not here to care about my salary...I...I mean, this will greatly increase the team's expenses. Have you asked for the consent of Sterling boss?"
"Of course, otherwise can I make this decision? The boss has entrusted me with full power to run and manage the team."
Sterling did say that when he left, but Rosser really didn't believe it.
He believed that Sterling would ask Min Chongda to change the team's draft decision, but he did not believe that Sterling could agree to a salary increase for all employees.
Rosser knows how stingy this boss is, and Rosser is in charge of finance as the administrative director, and helping the team save money has always been an important part of his job.
Rosser immediately took out his phone and called Sterling, who was on vacation in Hawaii.
A minute later, Min Congda looked at the expression on Rosser's face and knew that he must have been reprimanded by Sterling.
Min Congda patted Rosser on the shoulder and said: "Rosser, wouldn't it be a good thing to give you a salary increase? Your salary is not low, right? Twenty percent is a lot of money, so plan carefully Let’s make good use of this money.”
Rosser could only say helplessly: "What you said makes sense, but the team's expenses really need to be controlled. Our income..."
Min Congda interrupted him and said: "Money cannot be saved. Only by knowing how to spend money can we make better money. We allow employees to have higher wages, attract more talents, and better serve the team. If the team plays a good record, attracts more fans to watch the game, and collects higher ticket sales, won’t it result in higher revenue?”
Min Congda's speech is getting smoother and smoother, and it is true that he can improve quickly by using multiple languages.
What you say makes sense, but it's not that simple to implement.
Rosser had no choice but to sigh. Then he thought about the 20% salary increase, which was indeed a lot. He could start with the new set of golf clubs he liked, and his mood instantly improved a lot.
It seems that Smart, the new leader, is not useless. Without him, he would not be able to increase his salary.
Just as he was about to leave, Min Congda suddenly grabbed Rosser and whispered: "Look Rosser, I increased your salary. Can you lend me some money? I need some money temporarily. I just joined the team and my salary has not been paid yet." …”
Rosser thought what was going on, this guy actually wanted to borrow money.
Min Congda's contract is signed with the team, but his salary does not go into the team's accounts.
Sterling said his salary is paid by another agency.
"Okay, how much do you want to borrow?"
"Uh, fifty."
"Fifty? Fifty thousand? (In English fifty thousand means fifty thousand, fifty-thousand.)"
"No, no, no, just fifty."
"..."
Rosser didn't even know what to say. You are the general manager of the team and you have the power. Why don't you lend me fifty? Who can't afford it?
He paid 50 yuan in cash to Min Congda and immediately left the office, thinking that he didn't have to pay it back.
Min Congda had no choice but to hoard some cash before the system paid him his salary.
If you can't get enough to eat, it would be embarrassing to go to someone to borrow money to eat.
First find an opportunity for each person to borrow some, and then pay them back slowly after the system pays their wages.
It is not easy to come to a foreign country to work and live alone.
After adding wages to employees, Min Congda felt that his day's work was full.
After doing such a big thing, I should take a break from get off work.
It's half past three in the afternoon and the sun is setting.
At this time, people who have finished their work should be on their way home.
In the Clippers headquarters building, the staff are still busy with the things at hand.
Min Congda wanted to announce that he was leaving get off work early, but the system prompted: "You must not leave work at will before the off-duty time and affect the work of employees." 】
It seems that yesterday's trick of leaving get off work early was patched by the system.
"Forget it, I can only give you extra wages, and then you are not allowed to work overtime. I can't help you with anything else for the time being."
In order to sink the Clippers, sinking the employees here is the first step.
We must cultivate a culture of leaving get 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 in the front who works overtime due to lack of working hours is not necessarily the one in the back.
Overtime culture is very popular in the United States, and NBA teams are certainly no exception.
Especially in the basketball affairs department, it is common for them to stay up all night watching videos and compiling data, travel for long periods of time, and work overtime to write reports.
The basketball affairs department is on the second floor. Min Congda decided to go to the second floor to see the work of various departments and convey the new spirit of the team's work.
Ada saw Min Congda coming downstairs and asked hurriedly: "Mr. Smart, do you have anything to deal with?"
Min Congda said: "Oh, I want to inspect the basketball affairs department and see how they are working. By the way, please give a brief introduction."
A team, including players, has more than a hundred employees, making it a medium-sized company.
It is not an easy task to understand the situation of every employee in every department.
Ada was secretly happy, thinking that Mr. Smart had come to test me again, and it was time for me to perform.
She said: "The basketball affairs department is divided into several departments. The first is the basketball affairs headquarters, which is fully responsible for all decisions on the team's basketball affairs; the second is the coaching staff, which is responsible for player training and game directing; the third is the scouting department, which is responsible for discovering new players. 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 center, which is responsible for editing and organizing game videos."
Ada has done a lot of detailed work for this job, and it can be said that it is very comprehensive.
Min Congda nodded and asked, "Which department are you in?"
Ada hesitated and said: "I...I am from the administrative department, from the Digital and Media Center. I was a social media intern before, but after I became a full-time employee..."
"After you become 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 the fans think of this draft?"
Faced with this question, Ada hesitated, pursed her lips, and said: "The fans think... this choice is terrible, and only stupid pigs can make it, and many fans have written and called to ask why not Choose Griffin, choose Curry."
Ada spoke very directly, but Min Congda was not angry.
There is growing evidence that he made the right decision in the draft.
Compared with 300 million US dollars, what does it mean to be scolded by fans?
"Continue to maintain close contact with the fans."
"Let's go to each department together."
Accompanied by Ada's guidance, Min Congda went to various departments of the Basketball Affairs Department to meet with employees.
Because of the decision to increase their salary by 20%, employees who were originally skeptical about Min Congda showed their favor to the new general manager and shook hands with Min Congda enthusiastically. Min Congda felt the great charm of money.
After walking around the basketball affairs department, Min Congda went to the larger administrative department on the first floor.
The administrative department is mainly responsible for non-basketball affairs, including business operations department, marketing department, legal department, finance department, corporate cooperation department, sales/ticketing services, human resources, etc.
In short, apart from basketball affairs, other departments of the Clippers are the same as many business companies.
Min Congda also received a warm welcome in the administrative department. Rosser had to look at this man in a new light. He was indeed courageous.
All departments have been visited, except for the coaching staff and the health center, because their offices are in the training hall. Min Congda plans to go there tomorrow.
It was almost time to get off work, and Min Congda immediately announced that no one was allowed to work overtime and must get off work on time.
Olshey and Rosser wanted to object, but when they looked at each other, they knew it was all in vain. If they could get a bonus in salary, what else could he not do?
It's better to give up resistance and let him do what he does.
Before leaving, Olshey gave Min Congda a report.
"Mr. Olshey, if you have any reports, let's deal with it tomorrow."
"Mr. Not Smart, this is a player trading plan that will be discussed at tomorrow's meeting. It was originally going to be discussed overtime today. I will give it to you in advance so that you can understand it so that you can make a decision tomorrow."
When Min Congda heard this, he thought, 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 it will be the same decision as the draft that affects the fate of the team? Work overtime and work overtime."
