Chapter 735

Sterling incident, in addition to the tragic end of sterling, other people are generally satisfied with the outcome, which is a happy situation.

Magicians and other consortiums that are going to buy clippers can also accept the result. They didn't know that Ballmer had participated in the competition before. Now with so much buffer time, they can also go to pull more funds

At present, Johnson and the financial group behind him can provide about 800 million dollars. They were confident. After all, ESPN announced that the market value of the clipper was only over 600 million dollars, with a premium of over 100 million dollars. It's no problem to take the clipper.

But now because of Ballmer's participation, they obviously have no confidence

……

After returning to Charlotte, Richard led the team to start the next road trip.

The first game away is against thunder. At present, the thunder team is quite good. There are three players in the team, Wei Shao, Le Fu and Ibaka, that is, the lack of an outside attack point. Otherwise, there is no problem in this team. At least there is no problem in playing in the playoffs.

McClendon invited Richard to dinner the night before the game.

Many people came to the dinner, and all his consortia came, except McClendon.

Thunder's shares in this team are quite complex. Generally, other teams have either a single boss or two or three bosses, while thunder's number of bosses is as high as eight!

McLendon is just one of the bosses

The PBC consortium has absolute control over thunder, and these eight bosses are all members of the PBC consortium.

In the impression of fans, thunder boss seems to be a poor and stingy guy

In fact, in terms of financial resources, the financial resources of PBC group are no less than that of Ballmer or Paul Allen. The richest of their eight bosses is worth more than 10 billion dollars.

The reason why there will be stinginess in later generations is that there are many people and people have different opinions, so there will be a situation of freeing harden.

Now Richard is having dinner with eight owners of the PBC consortium.

"Li, I'm really young and promising. When I was your age, I seemed to be worth tens of millions of dollars, which is far beyond your comparison." Clay Bennett, chairman of the PBC consortium, looked at Richard and said sadly.

Looking at the name, we can see that the goods are not ordinary people. The combination of Tang Shen and the first-class goods is quite extraordinary

But although Bennett is the chairman of the consortium, he is the least valuable among the eight members. At present, he is only about $230 million, not as rich as Golden Dragon

"That's too much, clay. I'm in my forties. I'm not young. You know Paul is worth ten billion when I'm this age." Said Richard with a smile.

Several people laughed, with Paul Allen, the lucky son of God's favor, really can't compare.

It's because Bennett's hometown is Oklahoma that the supersonic moved to Oklahoma and changed its name to thunder.

Of course, Bennett didn't make the move, but McLendon did it.

At that time, the League was also reluctant to let the supersonic move away, because Seattle's economy is quite developed, with high-tech industries all over it, and its residents are quite rich, willing to pay for watching the ball.

And Oklahoma, nicknamed goose village, can see the gap from the name

That's why stern wanted to punish McClendon. He was really angry with the PBC consortium.

Don't be a good big ball Market. You have to move to the goose village. Isn't your brain sick

……

"I'm afraid tonight is not a simple meal, everyone?" Richard asked with a smile.

Richard is now a top rich man, but his face is not big enough to let all PBC consortia go

"Yes, we have a cooperation to talk with you. To be exact, George wants to have a good talk with you." McLendon said with a smile.

Richard looked at the sixty year old man called George and nodded and smiled.

George Caesar, the richest member of the PBC consortium, is worth more than $10 billion.

"Li, we know that you have the idea of buying clippers."

"We also admire your personal financial resources, but now with Ballmer's involvement, I think it will cause you a lot of pressure. Why don't you let me share some pressure with you?" George Caesar said with a smile.

It's quite euphemistic, but Richard also understood the purpose of the dinner tonight.

George Caesar is ready to inject capital into himself and share the shares of the clipper with himself.

Richard laughed in his heart. How could he agree to this? If he did, it would be meaningless for him to take so much trouble to get the clipper.

He wants to take 100% control of the clipper, and will never accept any other shareholders. Even if Paul Allen wants to join in, Richard will never agreeOf course, Paul Allen is certainly not interested in blending in. The pioneers did well, and he would miss the Clippers only when he was full.

"Thank you for Mr. George's kindness, but I don't feel too much pressure." Richard continued with a smile on his lips.

"Don't forget, I have a Paul Allen beside me. To be honest, I may only need a phone to get a loan of less than one billion dollars."

"Considering my personal working capital, I think I can still get out 2 billion dollars. If Ballmer really wants to throw 2 billion dollars on the express ship, then I will not go to this muddy water..."

Several members of the consortium sitting around Richard were stunned

Is Richard crazy? Two billion dollars directly prepared?!

It's two billion dollars in cash. All the members of the PBC consortium, except George Caesar, have less than two billion dollars in total!

Even if George Caesar, worth more than 10 billion yuan, asked him to give 2 billion dollars in cash, he would never give it.

Originally, George Caesar prepared 500 million dollars. He thought about giving up the thunder and going to work with Richard to build the clipper. Even if he calculated the premium, he felt that the clipper could definitely take down one billion dollars.

My $500 million will make me own 50% of the shares of the clipper, just like Jordan

Jordan has made a lot of money these years. George Caesar feels that his future earnings will never be lower than Jordan's.

The reason is simply that the potential of the clippers is too great.

To say the NBA team's market value and profitability, the clippers can't rank No. 1, and it's hard to get into the top ten because they are slightly above average.

But when it comes to the potential of the team, the Clippers are second, and no one dares to be first.

In Los Angeles, as long as the clippers can cultivate a large number of fans, the Clippers may be another Los Angeles Lakers in the future.

Ten years is not enough. That's 20 years. As long as Richard is here, sooner or later, the Clippers will be able to reach the Laker's depth.

Unless one day New York has a second team, the potential of the first team is clippers.

……

But now George Caesar felt that he had miscalculated, or underestimated Richard.

People who are going to spend two billion dollars in one mouthful can't really stir up

Don't really say that Richard's remark just now is not a boast.

In this acquisition of clipper, his psychological limit price is 2 billion US dollars. Unless Ballmer can put forward more than 2 billion US dollars, Richard is bound to get the trend of clipper.

The reason is very simple. It won't take long. After the NBA signed that huge broadcast contract, the market value of each team is all skyrocketing.

The market value of clipper in 2019 is $2.2 billion. It seems that Ballmer's $2 billion acquisition doesn't make much money

But think about it carefully. When Ballmer bought the clipper, the market value of the clipper was only 600 million US dollars, which increased by 1.6 billion in just five years. How terrible it is.

What's more, in 2019, the Clippers won't have much success. If Richard buys it, he is confident to make the Clippers a second warrior.

We need to know why the warriors market value in 2019 is 3.5 billion US dollars. It's not the reason why the team's record is so good.

In terms of the inside information, warrior's inside information is no better than clipper. In terms of the ball Market, whose ball market is better than Los Angeles except New York?

So even if Richard paid a premium of $2 billion to buy the clippers, in a few years' time, as long as he can lead the team to make a strong record, he can also earn blood.

Of course, making money has never been Richard's main goal. His biggest goal is to build a big team of his own.

……

"Well, Li, if you are really young and promising, let's first wish you a smooth journey in purchasing the clipper." George Caesar didn't go on pestering. He knew that he had no chance to touch the clipper.

A meal is very lively, business can not be benevolent and righteous. The business people of PBC financial group, who are in this position, do not cling to this topic.

……

The next night, the game officially kicked off.

Richard is quite interested in weishao. In fact, weishao, who just joined the league, has a good reputation.

But I didn't expect that since I played alone, the reputation of the team is not as good as one year. When I got the third double of the season for the first time, the fans were quite boisterous. After all, such data, even if it is brushed, is actually quite difficult

The third double of the second season has little influence.

By the third triple double, Wei Shao has almost reached the point where people dislike him

A player who swims in a round of playoffs for three consecutive seasons and has a shooting rate of less than 40% in a wild shot can't really love him.Later generations of Kobe Bryant once said that the most like his players in the league is weishao, but after weishao's collapse, he never said that again.

What a chicken thief Kobe
