Chapter 909 Li Liang's Ambition

Li Liang arrived in Los Angeles and just settled in his residence.

Under Zhu Shu's instruction, Dean made a phone reservation for a regional plane ticket from Los Angeles to Sacramento.

The air transportation in the United States is extremely developed, and some short-distance traffic can be completed by short-distance aircraft.

On the way back, Zhu Shu had already called the Kings.

It was Divac, the king's new general manager who answered the phone last year.

To be honest, when Divac received Zhu Shu's call, his hands were shaking a little.

He suppressed his excitement, cleared his throat to make his voice sound normal, and then talked with Zhu Shu.

Zhu Shu's negotiating style is exactly the same as Li Liang's, concise, straight to the point, and never talking nonsense.

Zhu Shu told Divac that Li Liang intends to go to the Kings, and he will go to Sacramento for an interview soon, hoping that the Kings will be ready.

Zhu Shu also emphasized that she hoped that the king would do a good job of keeping the information secret, and did not want to leak the information for the time being.

The news came so suddenly, happiness came to my head all at once.

The Kings have been in decline for too long. This team once left a deep impression on Chinese fans, but now there is only that deep impression left.

Divac quickly asked where Li Liang was now, and the king could immediately send a plane to pick him up.

Zhu Shu covered the phone and asked if Dean's ticket was booked.

Dean said that the route is very busy, and there is no flight that can take off as soon as possible.

Zhu Shu asked Li Liang again, and Li Liang said it was acceptable, which was considered the sincerity of the king.

The king couldn't be without sincerity, Li Liang's choice was too important to them, and they didn't dare to be careless at all.

Divac hung up the phone and immediately called owner Vivek Ranadive.

The Indian boss is in a meeting at his company headquarters in San Francisco.

After receiving Divac's call, he who was at the headquarters of TIBCO almost cried out happily, which shocked the surrounding employees.

Hearing that Li Liang was in Los Angeles and needed to use a plane, Ranadive ended the meeting early and immediately drove to the airport to fly to Los Angeles in his own private jet.

In fact, private jets are still very common in the United States.

As a top player, Li Liang doesn't have his own private jet, which is rather shabby.

The main reason is that the price of the aircraft itself is not high, mainly due to the high labor costs, site costs and maintenance costs.

It's not that Li Liang can't afford it, the problem is that this product keeps moving.

It doesn't matter if you move by yourself, the plane can also move, but it's impossible for the crew to follow you around.

So Li Liang has never bought a private jet.

But if he stays in one place for a long time, he must think about it.

Li Liang didn't wait long, and Zhu Shu received a call from Ranadive herself, saying that her plane was about to fly to Los Angeles, and she would personally pick Li Liang to Sacramento.

After Zhu Shu hung up the phone, she told Li Liang the news, and then began to pack up and prepare to go to the airport.

Li Liang is about to leave before his butt is hot in Los Angeles.

He is also vigorous and resolute in his work, and he does it when he thinks about it.

Now that James has walked a difficult road, Li Liang will of course have to walk a more difficult road.

...

On the way to the airport, Li Liang felt that Zhu Shu was in a bad mood.

But because Dean, Jason and others were there, Li Liang couldn't ask more questions.

Li Liang thought, although he was sure to stay in California, but not in Los Angeles, Zhu Shu must be unhappy.

And just after finishing the journey of the national team, as soon as he settled in Los Angeles, he immediately made a decision to negotiate.

He didn't spare time to accompany her. Thinking of this, Li Liang felt a little guilty.

Facts have proved that even though he has been with Zhu Shu for a long time, Li Liang still doesn't understand a woman's heart.

Also, who can figure it out?

Zhu Shu was not unhappy because Li Liang didn't spend time with her, but for another reason.

After arriving at a small airport in Los Angeles and seeing Ranadive and his party, Li Liang slowly noticed it.

The Divacs were preparing in Sacramento, so they didn't come.

Accompanying Ranadive, besides bodyguards and ordinary staff, was his precious daughter, Ajiali Ranadive.

This Indian beauty daughter is a big hit on INS.

The family is rich, he is good-looking, with a strong figure, and his personality is even more fiery and bold.

She was deeply loved by her father. Ranadive immediately notified her daughter that Li Liang was coming, and she came with her father, using herself as a bargaining chip for recruitment.

In fact, it's not necessary, Li Liang doesn't care about it.

But someone will care.

After seeing Li Liang, the Ranadives and their daughter were very enthusiastic, they stepped forward to hug and kiss Li Liang.

Especially Ajiali, who kissed Li Liang's face hard.

This is a relatively common meeting etiquette in Europe and the United States.

But the Chinese have always been reserved and will not do this.

Zhu Shu was obviously a little unhappy.

But as a professional agent, she still has to show her professional side.

After boarding the plane together, Zhu Shu began to propose some conditions to Ranadive on behalf of Li Liang on the plane mountain.

In a business league dominated by superstars like the NBA, it is very normal for superstars to have privileges.

After every team signs a superstar, in addition to salary, there will definitely be some additional benefits.

Like family care arrangements, free ball tickets every year, and even some job opportunities and so on.

In the past, Li Liang didn't have many of these requests, because he stayed for a short time and left after one season.

And he doesn't have any relatives to take care of, his father still wants to take care of him.

This time the situation is different, Li Liang will stay with the king for a longer time.

When Ranadive heard that Li Liang was willing to sign a long-term contract, he was so happy that he almost danced on the plane.

If this is a movie, then it must be an Indian movie, and Ajiali must also have a dance.

Li Liang's willingness to stay for a long time is definitely a huge benefit to the king.

From a commercial point of view, the market value will definitely rise.

From a competitive point of view, the Kings have become a strong team in the league, and they may even compete for the championship.

Therefore, Ranadive accepted Zhu Shu's various requests one by one.

Including being willing to send Li Liang a private jet.

In fact, before the talk, Li Liang was not prepared to ask for too many privileges, he was not interested in these things.

There is only one real condition for him.

Seeing Zhu Shu mentioning these conditions, Li Liang couldn't help but pull her, "Hey, there's no need to mention so many conditions, what about adding bodyguards...Jensen and the others are enough, why do I need so many bodyguards. We didn't discuss any conditions before we came here."

Zhu Shu rolled her eyes at Li Liang, then looked at Ajiali unconsciously.

From the moment she boarded the plane, Ajiali's eyes never left Li Liang's body.

Zhu Shu is not so much talking about conditions as she is venting her anger.

She almost didn't put the condition of "your daughter is not allowed to have contact with Li Liang".

Li Liang ended the conversation between Zhu Shu and Ranadive. He said: "Mr. Ranadive, I can see your sincerity. In fact, many privileges are meaningless to me. I don't need those things. But There is one condition that I really care about, and it is also the key to whether I can come to Sacramento to play."

Ranadive leaned over and pretended to be listening, thinking, even if you want me to marry my daughter to you, it's okay.

Li Liang stated his condition, "I will be the head coach of the team."

(ps: In reality, the NBA prohibits players from concurrently serving as head coaches to prevent, for example, the situation where Paul takes a part-time coach with a salary of 40 million, but it is not included in the salary cap.)
