Thoughtfulness | Will you get a salary increase after working hard for many years? Yang Ming left the team and hit Li Jiaqi hard in the face

"Sometimes I find my own reasons, have my wages risen or not for so many years, have you worked seriously?"

The recent remarks of well-known anchor Li Jiaqi have sparked widespread discussion on the Internet, and most of them are mostly critical.

The most direct point to this problem is that it nakedly shows the two sides of labor value viewed by both labor and management: management feels that if the work is not serious, of course, the salary will not rise; But the labor side believes that wages cannot rise, what is the use of serious work?

Let's not judge who is right and who is wrong on both sides, but the incident of Coach Yang Ming's departure from the team that has been making a lot of noise in the past two days is enough to show one point - sometimes the salary cannot rise, it is really not a matter of not taking the work seriously!

Who is Yang Ming?

A native of Dalian, Liaoning, from Liaoning Youth Academy, he debuted in Liaoning in the 2004-05 CBA season, won the first championship in CBA team history with Liaoning in 2018, and officially retired in 2019 as the deputy general manager of Liaoning team.

His No. 12 jersey was permanently retired by the Liaoning men's basketball team and still hangs high above the Liaoning home court.

Yang Ming led the Liaoning men's basketball National Games to win the championship

In the 2020-2021 season, after Guo Shiqiang left the team, the Liaoning men's basketball team had to put the fledgling young coach Yang Ming on the foreground, but as a result, he brought Liaoning a National Games championship and two CBA championships.

This resume, it is necessary to have qualifications, achievements and achievements, and there is no shortage of loyalty and dedication.

Although some people say that Liaoning's strong squad is the most important reason why they won two consecutive championships, Yang Ming's coaching ability is not completely convincing, but the progress of players such as Zhang Zhenlin, Fu Hao and Zhou Junhao is inseparable from Yang Ming's leadership and management level as the team's head coach.

Did Yang Ming work hard?

When he was a player, he was a wind-chasing teenager with a jade-like face, but after becoming the head coach, his eye circles were getting darker and darker day by day, and the bags under his eyes were getting bigger and bigger day by day. When he first took office, the Liaoning team relied on Han Dejun inside and Guo Allen outside, and now Liaoning, the attack power of the forward group is full, and the outside line is more blooming.

And after winning two consecutive championships, Yang Ming was not complacent, and also took advantage of the gap in the offseason to go to Spain to learn to recharge and improve his coaching level.

Who can say that he is not serious? Who can say that he doesn't work hard?

However, such a handsome, well-rooted, hardworking young coach failed to get a contract extension and sadly left the Liaoning men's basketball team, where he had played for 19 years.

Yang Ming

Cause? Naturally, money.

When Yang Ming was on the line, his own little-known rookie coach was of course also a child labor contract, and some insiders broke the news that in the past few years of coaching the Liaoning men's basketball team, if not counting the championship bonus, Yang Ming's annual salary is almost the same as that of the national youth coach, about 500,000 yuan.

Now that the contract expires, as the head coach of the championship and the concubine of Zheng Miao Hong, it is said that the Liaoning men's basketball team should give full sincerity and appropriate reasonable salary increases, but the famous sports agent Li Yuguo revealed that the Liaoning men's basketball team is only willing to give an annual salary of 800,000 yuan at most in negotiations...

Not to mention Marbury's once eight million, not to mention Du Feng and Li Chunjiang's three or four million, even the assistant coach Hugo López around him took much more than 800,000, Yang Ming naturally could not accept such harsh renewal conditions.

So obviously, "serious work" does not guarantee that "salary increases" can be raised, at least, in Yang Ming.

So, as a migrant worker, what should you do if you want to raise your wages?

First of all, it is natural to improve its own ability, the stronger the ability, of course, the more confident, and the salary increase is of course a natural success.

For example, the well-known "big shark" O'Neal, first debuted with the Magic, after the rookie contract ended, he discussed the next contract with the team, and the Magic team made an offer of only 4 years and 54 million US dollars - compared with Juwan Howard and Mo Ning, who just signed a contract of 100 million yuan, O'Neal was naturally out of anger and immediately asked for 150 million for 7 years.

O'Neill in the magic period

But it's not just Magic management who thinks O'Neal isn't worth the price, even Orlando newspapers, polls that say more than 90% of Magic fans don't think O'Neal is worth it.

At this time, the Lakers took advantage of the void and offered a 7-year 120 million contract with both hands, and the Magic were shocked, and it was too late to agree to the 7-year 150 million condition.

And then what happened, everyone knows.

Yang Ming's predecessor Guo Shiqiang, when he first served as a coach in Liaoning, his annual salary was even much lower than that of Yang Ming, who had just debuted, and as a result, he sat in the coaching position of the Liaoning men's basketball team for fourteen years, and helped Liaoning win the first CBA championship in team history, and his salary rose to two million.

Even after leaving Liaoning, after coming to Guangzhou, Guo Shiqiang once again helped the team make history and win the first playoffs, so the Guangzhou team also returned the favor, reportedly offering him a salary of four million.

Therefore, leaving Liaoning may not be a bad thing for Yang Ming, as long as he can prove his strength, he will eventually get a salary that is enough to match his ability.

Second, if the ability is not convincing, it must be "specialized" of the ability, preferably irreplaceable.

Just like the former "Wolf King" Garnett, after Minnesota's highlight performance, the team can't wait to renew his contract, but a Garnett is extremely popular and is a guarantee of the box office; The second is that Minnesota is a small city and it is difficult to attract other superstars. So, to keep the superstar of tomorrow, the Timberwolves have no other way but to throw money.

In the end, the Timberwolves offered the irreplaceable wolf king an unprecedented six-year, $120 million contract (only lower than Jordan in those days).

There is also Simmons, who is nicknamed "Xidi" by fans, although his outrageous shooting has always been criticized by fans, but with his extraordinary athletic talent, strength against centers and speed comparable to guards, he has created the label of "all-round warrior" and "the next LeBron" for himself.

Because players of this quality are so rare in the market, 76ers management completely ignored Simmons' catastrophic shot and eventually offered him a five-year, $177 million contract.

It can be seen that "irreplaceable" is also one of the most important factors for wage increases.

Just like Marbury's 8 million, of course, it is the ceiling of CBA coaches' salary, but to see that the background of this contract signing is that Beijing Enterprises acquired Chongqing and relocated the team to Beijing, it is urgent to need a table figure with huge appeal in Beijing to attract fans and communicate contacts, so as to compete with another team in Beijing, Shougang.

Ugolopez

Another extremely important reason why Liaoning has the confidence to give up Yang Ming is that the Liaoning team has reached in-depth cooperation with the Spanish basketball circle, including youth training and coach training, and holds Ugolopes, the Spanish assistant coach with a more brilliant resume, as a hole card, naturally not afraid of Yang Ming's grasp.

In the end, the platform is always the most critical, as long as the cake is big enough, wages will naturally rise fast enough.

The most explosive paycheck-related news this summer was Jaylen Brown's five-year, $304 million contract with the Celtics for the largest contract in NBA history. And the reason why he was able to obtain such a contract, in addition to what we said "ability" and "irreplaceable" before, there are two more important reasons.

One is the "designated veteran clause" in collective bargaining agreements, which allows players to quickly activate a 35% cap agreement after meeting a series of demanding conditions — which happens to be met this year's Jaylen Brown.

The other is that the NBA's 9-year, $24 billion broadcast contract with ESPN & TNT is about to expire in 2025, and it is rumored that the NBA league's heart price for the next contract is 9 years and $75 billion - if this contract can really land at this amount, it is bound to sign a new labor agreement, and the player's salary will rise sharply, and then Jaylen Brown's sky-high contract may become a cheap and affordable contract. That's why the Celtics are willing to pay for it.

After entering the new millennium, the NBA's ability to attract money has been obvious to all, players' salaries have been rising like rockets, and even coaches' salaries have generally reached the level of millions of dollars - this is the benefit of making the market bigger and stronger, and the entire business environment will benefit from it.

On the other hand, look at the CBA side.

Yang Ming

The salary Yang Ming demanded from the Liaoning team was not sky-high, and as an old minister of the concubine, most of this reasonable offer would be satisfied under normal circumstances.

But the problem is that the Liaoning team itself is a team with a very strong institutional color, and the investment of funds is completely different from the logical thinking of the southern team.

In a normal market-oriented environment, this should be a weakness. Helplessly, the market volume of CBA is not large enough, and simple market behavior and economic behavior cannot fully become the dominant law of the CBA club, which has led to many strange phenomena such as "national players cannot transfer freely", "national brand center can not play CBA for two years" and so on, and this Yang Ming incident is even just one of the small splashes.

From the Yang Ming incident, we may be able to draw a conclusion - wages have not risen, sometimes we really should not blame the workers for not working hard, but we should ask some decision-makers, have you worked seriously?
