Paul Allen winked at Linfeng.
"I don't think it needs to be considered at all. This is just a game played by rich people. If you have money, you can play with it. If you don't have money, you can go away. It's so simple. How much need to be considered! " Paul Allen's words were so rough that even Lin Feng was a little surprised.
This guy, he was not so rude before! It's amazing.
Not only Lin Feng couldn't stand it, but even other bosses were stunned as if they saw Paul Allen for the first time.
"Oh, don't look at me like that. I'm just telling you the truth. To be honest, do you really buy clubs for money? It's not all fun. It's just a game for us rich people. In the boring life, to find some fun, that's all Paul Allen laughed. "In that case, why do you need to be so fussy! If you think Lin Feng is rich and unfair, leave and let more rich people come in. I believe that there are still many people who want to enter the game circle. In this world, there are a lot of rich people, a lot of people. "
They were speechless and decided to ignore Paul Allen's words. Although his words are rude, they are reasonable. Because it's so simple and clear. If you don't have money to play, you can change rich people to play. You don't need to say more or explain more.
It's just that many of them want to make money when they play the game of the rich. After all, some teams can still make money. Although I don't earn much, millions of dollars, it's also money. After all, not everyone is as rich as Lin Feng and Paul Allen.
"I like that, Paul. That's what it should be. Whoever has money will play! " Lin Feng laughs.
"Yes, it's not necessary to hold such a bullshit meeting!" Paul Allen laughed. Why he is so happy today is very simple. He thinks that life is suddenly meaningful and there is more to look forward to. For the first half of his life, he has been working and making money. Later, I got sick and began to enjoy life. However, how much fun this life can have is nothing more than delicious food, fancy clothes, luxury houses, sports cars and beauties. He has enjoyed the most delicious food, the most gorgeous clothes, the best villas, the coolest sports cars, and the most beautiful women. What fun is there to attract him?
Until I met Lin Feng. With more contact with Lin Feng, he gradually found that the happiest thing in the world is not food, fancy clothes, luxury houses, sports cars, but freedom and freedom. Just like Lin Feng, you can do whatever you want. This is the most refreshing thing in the world.
Therefore, his temperament is gradually cheerful, even a little crazy. Life in the world just a few decades, since when the indulgence carnival.
As soon as David Stern saw that these two people were singing in unison, the meeting was almost in vain, and he quickly stopped it.
"Mr. Allen, what you said is right, but the rules of the game are still necessary, otherwise the game will be no fun." Stern persuades, "if it's all messed up, it's boring, isn't it? Isn't it more interesting to use your wealth, influence, contacts and ability to win the game with the permission of the rules? "
Paul Allen thought and nodded. He can accept that.
"In that case, I think there should be some rules. So, Mr. Allen, I think the starting point of luxury tax should also be collected, right?" Stern said.
Paul Allen nodded.
"Mr. Lin, I know it may be aimed at you, but after all, it's also for fair competition and to make the game more exciting. I don't think you'll object. " Stern turned to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiles.
"I don't think the game will go on if I object. It doesn't matter to me, but I don't want to disappoint the fans. In that case, Mr. stern, you make the rules. As for the amount of luxury tax, I don't think it's a big amount for me. It's nothing more than 100 million dollars or several hundred million dollars. But whether it's a few hundred million dollars, in short, I want to win, and I will always win. You want to use this rule to hit me, I'm sorry, you can't. In particular, the penalty, this, I am really not afraid! Well, nothing's wrong, I'll go first! " Lin Feng stood up and patted his clothes. It seemed that he wanted to take a lot of dust. He said with a smile, "Paul, what about you?"
"Well, let's go. It's just a boring trick. It's boring! " Paul Allen sighed and turned to follow Lin Feng.
The remaining 28 bosses have black faces. These two guys are too arrogant. What do they regard this place as, like a vegetable garden? Come and go as you want?
"Mr. stern, I think Lin Feng and Allen are acting too arrogantly, which is bad for the alliance. We should formulate laws to prevent this kind of thing from happening." The Bucks boss said angrily.
Stern is helpless to wave his hand.
"I can't punish your boss as long as it doesn't damage the league's image and affect its operation." Stern said helplessly. This league is established by the boss. He works for the boss. The rules he specifies restrict the players as much as possible. Of course, they also restrict the boss, but the restriction on the boss is the least, that is, a fine at most. For example, the Mavericks boss Kuban, he is disrespectful to the league and the referee, but in the end, he is only fined. What else can the league do?
The same is true for Lin Feng and Paul Allen. The most is a fine, and these two seem really not afraid of it. After all, they didn't care about the tens of thousands of dollars in fines. Pure drizzle. By the way, when it comes to fines, what about coworker Kuban?
Stern blinked and Kuban was gone.
"Hi, Mr. Lin, Mr. Allen, please stop!" Kuban has gone after Lin Feng and Paul Allen, who are about to leave.
"Hi, Mr. Cuban. May I help you?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.
"Mr. Lin, I appreciate what you and Mr. Allen have said. Sit down together Kuban came up and hugged warmly.
Lin Feng highly appreciates Kuban's enthusiasm. His motto of "do anything for victory" has touched many people. This is a rare alternative boss in NBA, but it's very similar to Lin Feng's appetite.
"It's a pleasure!" Lin Feng laughs.
The three came to the Starbucks cafe on New York's Fifth Avenue. In fact, for the value of the three people, Starbucks is like a big stall, but what they drink is not coffee, but confidants. The three make complaints about the coffee, and make complaints about the NBA's petty boss.
"By the way, Mr. Lin, I heard about your acquisition of USA Today and the New York Times, but I heard that the US Department of commerce is consulting legal experts to see if your acquisition is legal. You should be prepared." Kuban said suddenly.
Lin Feng frowned. Lin Feng has studied American law. As for the media, it's not impossible for foreign capital to want to buy, but as for the most mainstream media in the United States, if they want to buy, it will be a bit troublesome. If the Ministry of Commerce doesn't notice you, or think your acquisition is OK, then it's OK. Once you are noticed, it is possible to veto such an acquisition on charges of endangering national security. At present, Lin Feng, USA Today and the New York Times have not announced the acquisition because of this consideration. Avoid getting into trouble with the Ministry of Commerce.
As for why Lin Feng's acquisition of the Houston Chronicle is not troublesome, it is very simple, because at the beginning, the Houston Chronicle was a small newspaper with a sales volume of less than 100000 copies and was limited to the Houston area. How could it be compared with the two major newspapers, USA Today and the New York Times. Although the Houston Chronicle has grown and become one of the mainstream newspapers in the United States, after so many years of acquisition, the Ministry of commerce can no longer veto it. If this is to be rejected again, it will be a chance to give lawyer Lin Feng a slap in the face.
"Well, does Mr. Kuban have any suggestions?" Lin Feng looks at Kuban.
Since Kuban said so, he naturally had a purpose. Although he is enthusiastic, he is also a businessman.
"I have been looking for investment opportunities. I want to cooperate with Lin Feng to acquire USA Today and the New York Times. Of course, after the acquisition, what I want to do more is the network sector, and I will not intervene in the entity sector. In this way, I can avoid the trouble of the Ministry of Commerce. I'll buy two newspapers, and you'll buy part of our company. " Kuban said seriously.
Lin Fengwen smiles when he hears the words.
"Mr. Kuban, there is an old Chinese saying that heroes think alike. After I acquired these two newspapers, the purpose is also the network sector. Now, networking is the trend of the times, which is the main road and can't be avoided by anyone. Therefore, after the acquisition, I will network it more thoroughly. However, if it is completely networked and all its news can be seen on the Internet, there will be no sales of newspapers. It's not in the interests of us either. I will develop a foldable screen to replace newspapers. In that way, the network entity, I think is the future newspaper best development road Lin fengxiao said.
Kuban heard the speech, Leng for a long time, and then his eyes shine. That's a good idea, a really good idea. The reason why he found Lin Feng and offered to help him buy USA Today and the New York Times is that he came to Lin Feng. He wants to deal with Lin Feng, although he has met before and proposed cooperation intention. But it didn't come to an end because there were some problems with Kuban's project. Now, Kuban has nothing to do. He has no place to spend his money, and he can't put it in the bank or throw it all into the stock market, so he seeks partners. Lin Feng is undoubtedly a very good collaborator.
Fortunately, Lin Feng also has a thorny problem. He can help Lin Feng solve the problem and sell Lin Feng a favor. But he didn't expect that Lin Feng's idea would be so far away, which made his heart beat and made his desire for cooperation even stronger( It's not finished yet.
