Chapter 500

Originally, Richard thought about the expansion of the alliance, but he would postpone it because of his appearance

Now, it seems that this little butterfly has no such ability. History still follows the normal path.

The expansion of the army needs a lot of preparations. Richard estimated that the league has put it on the agenda.

Maybe at the end of next season, they will officially announce the news, or even at the beginning of next season.

For a moment, Richard's mind flashed a lot of ideas.

Richard has always wanted to build a team of his own. Now Charlotte Bobcats seems to be a really good opportunity.

"Old man, what are you going to do now?" Richard asked Jordan tentatively.

"I'm going to take this new army now, but it's not easy."

Jordan has a dignified face. He obviously doesn't take Richard as an outsider at the moment. He begins to talk with Richard directly.

"Well? What's the difficulty? " Richard knows a lot about the expansion of the army. After all, he talked with Xiao Hua about it before.

But at the moment, he can only pretend not to understand, to see if he can get more information from Jordan.

"Isn't it enough to have money?" Richard continued.

Jordan waved his hand. "It's not that easy. Money is only the first level, but I can't pass the first level."

Richard was shocked for a long time. Jordan was short of money?! This is definitely bullshit

"Michael, old man, don't cry poor, ask the league who doesn't know you have money!" Said Richard, speechless.

Jordan waved, looking helpless, "three hundred million dollars!"

"Man, they're going to check 300 million dollars. God, where can I find so much cash!"

Richard nodded. If he asked for $300 million in cash, it's really hard for Jordan to get it out.

Jordan is really rich now, but the sum of his wealth is estimated to be less than 300 million dollars.

Maybe it's less than 300 million dollars

It also includes some real industries, so Jordan may not be able to give so much cash.

"Well, old man, what about the other difficulties?" Richard continued.

Jordan was stunned. He thought Richard would fill in the missing part after hearing this.

"Li, in addition to the cash difficulties, there is also pressure from competitors."

"At present, I've got news that Robert Johnson is a very strong competitor. If there is no better choice, he may be the boss of the new army."

"Well? Michael, can't your prestige in this circle make Johnson Richard asked in doubt.

Jordan waved again, looking helpless.

"I'm not particularly good at running a team..." Jordan's face was red and embarrassed.

It has been some years since he joined the Wizards. As a result, the Wizards have been losing money in recent years

In this case, how can the alliance rest assured that Jordan will take charge of the new army.

Richard smiled awkwardly. Jordan was really a tough injury in this respect.

One is that he has no money, the other is that he has no ability. This is almost the death penalty of Jordan.

Of course, if there is no Robert Johnson as a black competitor, Jordan might have a chance to raise some money by virtue of his black identity

There is no chance now.

"Li, I'll tell you straight away. I can't do it myself, but if I work with you in partnership, I'm at least 70%."

"I don't know how much cash you have now, but there must be 100 million cash. I can make up nearly 200 million cash here."

"You have managed the pistons in these two seasons. Last season, the team's profitability didn't improve because of poor performance, but this season your attendance rate is quite high!"

"It can definitely prove that you have excellent team operation ability!"

"If we tie up and compete, Robert Johnson is definitely not an opponent. After all, that guy is just a pure businessman!"

"We are both in this circle, and the alliance will definitely prefer us!"

Jordan finally said his plan

Richard's eyebrows were wrinkled and numb, which really attracted him.

But the issue of equity distribution is a big one.

See what Jordan means. He wants to pay more and take the lead. Richard can't agree.

If Jordan takes the lead, he will have a greater say. If there is any conflict in the future, Richard will be passive.Although at present they are brothers and sisters, who dares to say that they will not have a quarrel in the future.

So Richard is absolutely impossible to allow Jordan to take the lead.

"Michael, I'm quite interested in what you said."

"But..."

Hearing Richard's words, Jordan knew something was wrong

"But how can I hear you say that you want to dominate?" Asked Richard, frowning.

Jordan is stunned. Is that enough? As a sponsor, I must be in the lead!

……

Just as they were talking, the referee whistled the end of the first half.

East army led by five points, Yao Ming scored 27 points in the half, basically no need to pay attention to the situation on the field.

……

At half-time, Jordan stayed with Richard.

"Li, 100 million dollars is your limit, isn't it?"

When he heard Jordan's words, Richard became happy. His limit was not 100 million dollars. If he broke the pot and sold iron, 300 million dollars would be covered by himself. There was nothing for Jordan.

However, Richard is very clear that this expansion is special. The League must find a black man to be the boss.

So no matter how rich and capable you are, if you want to compete, there must be no chance.

With Jordan, the yellow man and the black man can't find any problems.

"Michael, how about that? I'll give you 200 million dollars, you'll give 100 million dollars. How about that!"

"I'm going to suffer a little bit from losses. When it comes to 66% equity, how about 34%?"

Richard said with a smile

This capital verification doesn't mean to give the cash to the league, but to walk through the league and prove that you have the financial resources to run the team.

Jordan's face suddenly turned bitter. Good guy, I just said Richard was a good man

Where is the good person of this other Niang, came directly to oneself counter guest is given priority to.

It's clear that I'm going to partner with Richard. He wants to take the lead.

"Li, stop kidding..."

"No, Michael, I'm not kidding. You can think about it."

When Jordan heard Richard's words, he stopped talking.

……

Seeing that Jordan stopped talking, Richard stopped talking about it.

He knew that Jordan needed himself. Without him, Jordan would never have got Charlotte.

Jordan actually had the idea of a team before he joined the Wizards a few years ago, but at that time his goal was the Lakers.

He almost joined the Lakers before, but only if he wanted a stake in the Lakers.

It's impossible for the bath family to do such a self destructing thing

As a result, Jordan came to the wizards, and the wizards were willing to give Jordan part of the equity.

But after coming to the wizards, Jordan found that life was not as good as he thought, mainly because the team has been unable to enter the playoffs, which caused the dissatisfaction of the team's boss and other management.

However, Jordan can only play in person, because the League stipulates that players can not be the owner or manager of the team, so he sold his equity, and then he resigned from the management position

Richard knew that Jordan was going to be hit by the Wizards this time, but it was too late to remind Jordan of this.

……

Jordan has a strong desire for the team, and in addition to Richard, for other partners, Jordan is absolutely not 70% sure.

……

By the start of the second half, Jordan seemed to have made up his mind.

"Li, I can feel that you are very interested in it."

"Why don't we beat around the Bush? Come on, let's talk about your bottom line. I mean equity."

In the face of Jordan's direct inquiry, Richard thought for a moment.

"Well, then I won't beat around the bush. Michael, I want more than 51% of the shares."

Richard still didn't let go.

Jordan faced a dilemma. "Lee, it's impossible. If you really take a 51% stake, this team can't be considered a black team."

"You should know what this new army means to black people..."

This directly made Richard look ugly. Jordan was right. If he really took the lead, this team could not be considered a black team. After all, black people held less than half of the shares.

"How about that, Lee."

"We have half the equity, you have half, I have half, and the naming right of the team is given to you, you have the right to name the team, how about that?"Jordan is quite sincere, and he really can't help it. Seeing Richard's posture, he just won't let go. If he takes half of it, it's the greatest sincerity he can show.

"Naming rights?" Richard smashed his mouth. This naming right has an egg.

There must be a team name for a new army. Generally speaking, there are two reasons for the team name. One is the owner's name, the other is to list some alternatives, and then let the fans vote for them.

But what team name can Charlotte take? According to the normal history, take a bobcat team name?

Richard felt that the name of the team was not domineering, which made the leader of the team set up a nickname of Elvis Presley

I don't know. I thought it was durian.

But if it's not SM, what's its name?

Charlotte

Charlotte worried?!

Richard grinned directly, his mother's name is nothing.

"Michael, your conditions are sincere, but I have to talk to you first. If this is done, you are not allowed to interfere in the team building!"

At this, Jordan opened his mouth and wanted to say something

But thinking about his bad record in the lineup, Jordan shut up.

It's better not to interfere in this kind of thing
