American Fortune Life

The end of the scene never meant more than a sad farewell, but more likely a fresh beginning. There's never been a shortage of legends in the sport, but how many perfect closings can one remember? Always choose to say goodbye, some choose to succeed and then turn away, others choose another way to stay with you.

Houston Rocket owner Alexander can be described by many rabbit fans as Lei Kwong Ear, and Dayao has averaged over 30 million people watching every game in front of the TV for five seasons. It can be said that also starting with Dayao, the NBA had a breakthrough in the Rabbit State market, making the Rocket Squad and the NBA popular in the Rabbit State. In this regard, both NBA and rabbit fans should thank Alexander very much.

Andy naturally knew that the old Jew in front of him didn't really want to sell the rocket squad in his hand, but he had to raise a lot of cash to save his investment firm. Alexander's personal investment interests were mainly in real estate, sports teams, investment funds, a combination of which was undoubtedly a very robust portfolio, but under the current real estate bubble rupture, which triggered the subprime mortgage crisis, causing market panic, and the stock market crash, which was undoubtedly fatal toxic asset proportions.

“Well, Andy, my $400 million quote, it's definitely a very cheap price.” Alexander was the first to say that the negotiations between the two sides were almost agreed, but because of the huge price differences, it has not been possible to find a suitable balance.

“Alexander, let's just point out that this price is unacceptable to anyone at the moment, and I can't accept it. Rockets have not performed well since they won two championships, although the presence of Yao has been a revolutionary storm for rocket revenues over the years.

However, both Yao and Matty were severely injured and ill last season, with only 57 games played by Yao and only 47 by Matty, making it impossible for the rockets to make it to the final season.

Everyone knows that Dayao, the huge market behind the big guy in the rabbit country, also brings huge gains to the rocket team, but his salary is not low, and my team has made an assessment that Dayao has entered the injury period due to his height and weight changes, and no one can determine how long he will rest next time he is injured, which will affect the team's performance. $3.3 billion, which is the most reasonable price my think tank has ever given, and my biggest concession and sincerity. ”

Andy looked at Alexander with a serious look on his eyebrows. "I like being direct. The new season is about to start. We don't have much time. ”

Alexander's eyebrows were tight, but he wouldn't let Andy, a young man with his nose, slowly stretch his frown, and shook his head: “Andy, everyone knows the value of Yao, and Maddy, the combination of the two giant stars, triggered the team's economic surge, the team's annual earnings were around 140 million, the team's balance of payments and surpluses, and it was definitely a satisfying big toy. Four hundred million dollars is really not expensive, and I've made a huge concession, after all, last year's market value reached 436 million dollars. ”

“Alexander, you know, the Black Eight Miracle Warriors are only offering $270 million, and even fast boats in Los Angeles are interested in selling, and that's Los Angeles, and if you insist on that price, we can't go on.” Andy doesn't move, they're talking about intentions, they can both repent at any time, and while Andy is in a hurry, Alexander needs more money.

Alexander's absolute desire to sell the Rocket Team is almost an established fact. After all, he was prepared to sell a lot in the early stages, and the young man who wanted to buy didn't want to spend too much money, and Alexander learned that Andy's main reason for choosing the Houston Rocket was because Texas was the cornerstone of the Smiths family, more or less because of the team's influence than because of the team's lineup.

And of course, Alexander himself thinks and his team analyzes the conclusion, the trade-offs, that Alexander had a rough bottom line before coming, "Well, you win, Andy, I'll put another 20 million, 300 million, 800 million... ”

“360 million, and I'm sure that as soon as you're feeling better, it'll work out quickly, cash payments, and in this time of year, you definitely need cash more. I think it's good for you and me to sell him sooner!” If this price is exceeded, I'm sorry, I can only choose another goal. ”

When he heard Andy, Alexander was not upset by his interruption, but relieved, and now he knows Andy's psychological level, at least above his set price threshold of 350 million.

“Yeah, selling him sooner would be good for you and me, so be it!” Alexander made a rather unpleasant decision. If he hadn't paid $250 million for the divorce a few years ago, if the real estate bubble hadn't broken and the bank hadn't tightened the loan, he wouldn't really have chosen to sell the Rocket Squad, and now it makes no sense to say anything, go through the hard times.

Andy had a brilliant smile on his face, raised his glass and touched Alexander and said, "That's a deal. Wish us luck with the deal. ”

Keeping an eye on the two, David Stern saw them drink together, noticed the brilliant smile on Andy's young man's face, immediately thought of a deal, said sorry to the new friend around him, and came to the two of them.

“What do you say, gentlemen, are we done? ”

Alexander nodded with a complicated smile on his face, saying, "We also need the Alliance to agree to the deal. ”

“Yeah, Mr. Stern, next time, please.” Andy had a happy smile on his face, raised his glass, and touched David Stern and said.

“No problem, Leslie, thanks to your contributions to the Alliance over the years, running this team has undoubtedly been a success, not only watching the rocket win for the second consecutive year, but also taking Dayao to Houston, where the NBA's influence in the Rabbit Nation has taken a qualitative leap.” David Stern nodded, glancing at Alexander with a slightly more complex expression.

“Thank you." Alexander couldn't help but sigh, and it seems that the president of this alliance is also looking forward to seeing the young man in front of him, bringing more attention.

After all, the deal hasn't been finalized, it's just a verbal agreement, it hasn't been concluded, and David Stern certainly can't congratulate and welcome Andy in front of Alexander.

The three of them chatted together for a while, and now that the main purpose had been achieved, Andy needed to entertain the others, sorry to leave the small circle of the three and choose the rocket because Andy preferred to own a team by himself, turning it into personal belongings more suited to his Andy Smith personality than to share it with others.

The Warriors' shares belong to a few people, and Andy is afraid it will take a lot of effort and time to complete the privatization, rather than simply coming straight from the Rocket Squad, as for the fast boat, heh, he doesn't want to be killed by that old bastard from Sterling.

“Do you think he'll go after the champion from the beginning, just like you did with the Rocket team?” David Stern raised his glass, took a sip, stood side by side with Alexander, looked behind Andy's back and asked.

“He's so young and not short of money, heh, the Rocket Team will be the most vibrant and vibrant team in professional sports! And winning the championship is the pursuit of every league owner, except the rogue clown in Los Angeles. Since the Alliance agreed to join the Celtic troika this summer, the future alliance will gradually become a huge huge hug winner of the world, huge luxury taxes, huh, that's not acceptable, Houston's fans have been complaining about me slamming, at this time it's okay to quit, hope he can bring the Rocket team the overall championship. “

Listen to Alexander say something a little self-derisive, David Stern, the president of the league, naturally knows that Alexander's analysis is very accurate. From Jordan's retirement, the Great Shark to Los Angeles, the era of the Giant Hug has begun. The reason for agreeing to the formation of the Celtic troika is that there are naturally several deals involving multiple teams, most notably to increase the viewership of the NBA games and break the monopoly of Lakers and Spurs.

Preston Tischi was chatting with several other acquaintances, and one of them smiled slightly down his chin and whispered to Preston, "Here comes our banquet owner, Preston. Looks like you can make another fortune. ”

Preston didn't think he was going to look back at young, tall Andy, and shook his head slightly, “I haven't decided whether to sell it or not. ”

“Ha ~ Don't be ridiculous, Tisky, without Wellington, the Giants can't play, look now, it's a mess inside your team, the Mara family doesn't have the heart to take over the Giants, they've always wanted to exchange it for cash, unless you can completely turn the Giants into your own, the future is worrying, better sell it now. ”

Listening to a friend, Preston also shook his head with a bitter smile. If his good friend Wellington Mara knew what his children were doing now, she wondered if she would die of anger. Look, a few friends around her and walked over to shake Andy Smith's hand with a smile on her face. He sorted out his mood, and Andy shook his hand.

“Mr. Stitch, I don't know what I'm suggesting. How are you thinking?” Andy wasn't talking to Preston for the first time, so he didn't circle around and went straight to the subject after a little greeting.

“You can already get 51 percent shares. This part of my shares does not pose a threat to you. Is it not a good idea for us to work together?” Preston smiled.
