The Almighty King of Sports - Chapter 950

After hanging up the phone, Wang Fei hesitated a little.

He knew that his decision to agree to Fertita to attend his jersey retirement ceremony was a bit hasty.

I am now a public figure and an iconic superstar of Huaguo Sports, so I have to be a little conscious about it.

If he finally chooses to attend the Rockets’ jersey retirement ceremony, it may really cause an uproar in the country.

After thinking about it, Wang Fei decided that it would be better to give up attending the jersey retirement ceremony at the Rockets home court.

Thinking about this, Wang Fei called Fertitta again.

The phone got through.

Fertitta also answered the call immediately.

“Wang, hello! Don’t worry, your jersey retirement ceremony will be very grand. The Rockets’ historical legend, as long as they are alive, we will invite them! We will remember your contribution to the Rockets!” Phil Dita said a little excitedly.

Wang Fei blinked and scratched his head a little awkwardly and said: “Mr. Fertitta, thank you for your arrangement, but, you know, I am playing for Real Madrid. I just agreed to your request. Looking at Real Madrid’s schedule, it turned out that the day after the jersey retirement ceremony you arranged for me, Real Madrid will have a La Liga match. If I attended the jersey retirement ceremony, I would not be able to catch up with this game. I called the head coach Mr. Zidane again. He didn’t want me to be absent from this game. So, I’m really sorry, I’m afraid I won’t be able to attend the retirement ceremony of my jersey.”

Can only find such a reason.

“God! If so, it would be a shame.” Fertitta said with a wry smile.

The jersey is retired, and the players who have been retired from the jersey do not pass by themselves, so this ceremony really cannot be performed.

“Yes, I also feel sorry.” Wang Fei said.

“Isn’t it the resistance you received?” Fertitta asked.

“No, no!” Wang Fei said.

“Wang, well, it seems that your jersey retirement ceremony can only be postponed.” Fertita said regretfully.

“Also, maybe, we should find a better time.” Wang Fei said.

“I can understand you.” Fertitta said.

After hanging up the phone, Fertitta’s face was completely gloomy.

He originally wanted to use the retired Wang Fei jersey as a breakthrough to improve relations with China.

But now, it seems that the abacus is lost.

This is really a pity.

“Fak! Damn it! I thought I finally saw the light, but I didn’t expect that the gap that had just opened a little was blocked again.” Fertitta spitted fiercely.

Fertitta’s granddaughter, Molly, came over to comfort her grandpa: “Don’t be angry, dear grandpa, I said, you should make a decision early. However, you always look forward to the future and hesitate. This is the Rockets’ long time. The main reason for the passive situation!”

More than a year has passed since the Morey incident.

The storm has long since subsided.

The perpetrator Morey has not been punished, so the Rockets continue to be blocked by China.

Because of this incident, the Rockets suffered heavy losses.

Not only the business development plan in China had to be terminated, but many Chinese sponsors also terminated their cooperation.

For more than a year, the Rockets lost billions of dollars.

And the value of the Rockets club has dropped greatly.

Fertitta spent 2.2 billion to buy the rocket, but now, the market value of the rocket has fallen by hundreds of millions of dollars.

This business made Fertitta a miserable loss.

Fortunately, after the incident, Fertitta did not dare to fire Morey.

Because the Americans do not agree to do so.

Morey has now become a thorn in the Rockets!

If this thorn is not taken out, it will continue to damage the Rockets.

“Molly, what do you think I should do?” Fertitta said with a shrug.

“Expelling that guy! He has cost you a lot of money! And your losses are still expanding! But, he looks like a okay person! I think, as long as you fire Morey, and then pass the retiring ceremony for Wang Things show that China is good, maybe we will regain the market of China!” Molly said.

Fertitta shook his head: “The league still supports that guy! Moreover, our country’s public opinion also shows that if we fire that guy, we might be boycotted by domestic fans.”

“You think too much, grandpa! You kept that guy for so long, but the attendance at the Toyota Center is still very low! I didn’t see those clamoring American fans giving us any support! It was because of that incident. LeBron, who expressed his stance in the whirlpool of public opinion and was boycotted by almost the entire United States, is still welcomed by countless people. Although he is old, his popularity remains high. Can this not inspire you?” Molly said.

“But if I fire him, maybe I will never find a more suitable general manager.” Fertitta said again.

“How come? Don’t you think that guy was very successful in the seat he was sitting in? I don’t think so! We have to pay sky-high luxury taxes every year, but we haven’t gotten better results! We didn’t even make it to the finals! Isn’t this caused by his incompetence? Grandpa, fire him! You will definitely be rewarded!” Molly persuaded Fertitta again.

Fertitta hesitated for a long time.

He finally gritted his teeth and said: “Okay! I listen to you! I want to fire that guy! I can’t stand him anymore. He messed up everything! He made me so passive now!”

“That’s right! Grandpa, now, you call Morey and tell him that he has been fired.” Molly said with a smile.

Fertitta grabbed his cell phone, and he found Morey’s number.

At this moment, Morey has returned home, he is sitting on the sofa in the living room enjoying a rare leisure time.

For more than a year, Morey has been under pressure.

He spoke quickly and made bad remarks, which caused the entire NBA to fall into a big storm. Although he did not lose his job because of this.

But he was still a little trembling.

He knew that his boss might have annoyed him.

The reason why he has not been fired is because Fertitta is worried about being backlashed by netizens in the United States.

More than a year has passed.

The Rockets’ record is still tepid.

Although the record is good year after year and steadily entering the playoffs, after all, he is still studying with the prince, and there is no hope of winning at all.

Morey knew that Fertitta was even more dissatisfied with him now.

He caused the boss to make a lot of money, but he couldn’t help the boss win the championship. For Fertitta, he is already a thorn in the eye.

God knows when, Fertitta will call and tell him in person that he has been fired!

Morey felt that a knife was hanging above his forehead.

This knife might fall without knowing when.

But at least for now, he is still sitting securely in the position of general manager of the Rockets.

I hope this day will never come!

Morey was watching a TV show and communicating with his wife when his cell phone rang.

He glanced at the caller number and found that it was Fertitta calling.

Morey’s heart tense inexplicably.

He quickly grabbed the phone and told his wife to answer the phone.

He walked out of the door and came to the courtyard.

He answered the phone and said hello with a smile: “Mr. Fertitta, good evening! The weather tonight is great, isn’t it?”

“Morey, I officially inform you now that you have been fired, please go through the resignation procedures tomorrow, and leave immediately!” Fertitta said straightforwardly without any twists and turns.

Although Morey had known for a long time, the day when he was fired is likely to come.

However, he really got the notice from the boss, but it was still a bit difficult to accept.

“Mr. Fertitta, what did I do wrong? The agreement I signed with the club has not expired yet! If you forcibly fire me, I am afraid you will have to pay me a large amount of compensation!” Morey said.

“What did you do wrong? You did everything wrong! You made me lose more than a billion dollars! You made me lose the largest Chinese market, and you put the club in trouble! What did you say you did wrong? If you are interested, you should take the initiative to resign! But, you did not do that! Mr. Morey, you are a selfish person, you have no responsibility! I have had enough of you. Even if I have to pay you A lot of money, I also recognize. Your existence has seriously affected the development of the club! Of course I can’t keep you!” Fertitta said.

Morey heard Fertitta growl on the phone, his scalp was a little numb.

He said to his heart, Fertitta hates me so much!

“Mr. Fertitta, all right! If you want to open me, I will accept your decision! I will go through the formalities tomorrow!” Morey said.

“Mr. Morey, thank you for your contribution to the Rockets over the years! I hope we can get together well!” Fertitta said, and hung up the phone.

Only Morey was left messy in the wind.

He lost his job.

He has worked for the Rockets for more than ten years, and now he has to leave the club.

Thinking of this, Morey felt a little empty in his heart.

“Darrell, what’s the matter?” The wife chased it out.

“Nothing.” Morey grinned reluctantly.

“There must be something big, otherwise you won’t be so depressed.” said his wife.

“My dear, I think, I want to tell you the bad news, I am unemployed, and I have just been fired by my boss.” Morey said.

“Oh! God! Why did he do this? It’s been more than a month, and I thought it was over! I didn’t expect him to still hold grudges. This is terrible.” His wife said with a sad face.

“Don’t worry! I can still find a better job after leaving the Rockets! I don’t think this is a problem at all!” Morey reluctantly smiled.

“Darryl, I think you should apologize for that. If you apologize, you might be able to avoid getting fired now.” said his wife.

“No, no! That’s impossible! If I apologize, and I admit that it is my fault, I will be condemned by many people in the country, and I will have been expelled from Fertitta at that time! So, the apology is Impossible!” Morey said stubbornly.

He frowned and thought about it, and said, “Perhaps, I should send the news of my dismissal. In this case, if public opinion generally supports me, maybe there is still room for change.”
