After the All-Star Game, Zhang Zhiyuan met with a Chinese consortium.

The leader was named Chen Xiangwen, whom Zhang Zhiyuan had never heard of.

But according to Li Xiaowan, this Chen Xiangwen is engaged in finance, has strong strength and a strong background.

Zhang Zhiyuan became popular in the NBA, and Zhang Zhiyuan had a transfer plan next season, so they keenly saw business opportunities from it.

As long as you buy an NBA team first and then persuade Zhang Zhiyuan to join, the value of the team will immediately double. If you can keep Zhang Zhiyuan, the team will definitely make a lot of money in more than ten years.

More importantly, this is a sure-profit business, unlike finance, which comes with risks.

Their only problem is to get Zhang Zhiyuan. If Zhang Zhiyuan doesn't agree to join forces, everything will be empty talk.

"Brother Zhang played so beautifully in the All-Star Game. Even Michael Jordan couldn't do that."

Chen Xiangwen first presented a high hat.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while, and the topic gradually turned to the acquisition of an NBA team.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy. The economy has been developing upwards and the value of NBA teams will continue to rise. I'm afraid not many people are willing to sell the teams."

Zhang Zhiyuan said.

"Both the Kings and Timberwolves are interested in selling. Although other teams have no intention of selling, it also depends on the buyer's bid. As long as the bid is high enough, the Lakers may be sold by Buss."

Chen Xiangwen said.

The Kings are currently facing operational difficulties, and the owner has revealed his intention to sell the team.

The Timberwolves' situation is similar. After losing Garnett, the team's attention plummeted and attendance continued to decline.

"Which team do you want to buy?"

Zhang Zhiyuan asked.

"It's up to you, which team you want to play for."

Chen Xiangwen smiled.

Zhang Zhiyuan understood immediately.

He thought for a moment and realized that if the team was controlled by his own people, it would be of some benefit to him.

For example, he definitely has the final say in transactions and draft decisions.

"If possible, of course the Knicks and Lakers are the best, and the Clippers are also fine."

Zhang Zhiyuan's words made Chen Xiangwen smile bitterly.

Although it is said that as long as the bid is high enough, he can buy everything, but the problem is that he cannot afford the price.

"Apart from these three, are there any other teams that you can reluctantly accept? Of course, we will definitely try to acquire the Knicks and Lakers first, but we cannot guarantee 100% success. So, if there are other teams you can

If the team accepts it, we will have a backup plan."

Chen Xiangwen said.

"..."

Zhang Zhiyuan.

I was so full of words just now, and now I'm complaining again.

Zhang Zhiyuan thought for a while, where else could he go besides these three teams.

There is definitely no need to consider the Mavericks, Cuban will not sell them.

The Rockets have Yao Ming, so Zhang Zhiyuan is not suitable to go.

The Suns are a strong team, and after leaving, they have to trade away those stars first.

Memphis and Milwaukee are small places, and Minnesota is freezing cold.

...

"Miami Heat, San Francisco Warriors."

Zhang Zhiyuan provided two more options.

Miami is a city that is very suitable for enjoyment. The climate is very good, the city is large, and there are many interesting things.

San Francisco is also a big city, and there are more Chinese people there.

"Then we will find a way to acquire one of these five teams. Then you can come over and give you all the privileges you want."

Chen Xiangwen said.

Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and did not answer.

Chen Xiangwen is not the only one who is willing to give privileges. Now, no matter which team he goes to, he can get privileges.

"In addition, you can also be allocated some shares. You cannot hold these shares yourself, but you can find a trustworthy person to hold them on your behalf."

Chen Xiangwen continued to dish out benefits.

"What's the ratio?"

Li Xiaowan asked.

"Five percent."

Chen Xiangwen said.

Five percent is not too much. After all, the lowest market value of the current NBA team is more than 200 million US dollars, and the highest market value of the Knicks has reached 700 million.

And this is just a market value assessment. If you really want to buy it, you will definitely pay a premium.

It can be said that if you don't have 1 billion US dollars, don't even think about the Knicks.

Five percent of one billion U.S. dollars is 50 million U.S. dollars, which means Zhang Zhiyuan can get 50 million U.S. dollars for nothing without any investment.

It can be seen that Chen Xiangwen and others are very sincere.

"Ten percent."

Li Xiaowan directly asked for a high price. She was the agent anyway, so she didn't have to worry about angering Chen Xiangwen. Even if she failed to negotiate, Zhang Zhiyuan could stand up and make a new offer in the end.

"This is impossible. Ms. Li is also an industry insider. Have you ever seen a good thing where you can get 10% of the shares without investing a penny?"

Chen Xiangwen complained.

"Mr. Zhang is not without investment. His joining is a kind of technical investment. I believe I don't need to explain to you how important technical investment is. The Bulls made money because of Michael Jordan, and the Rockets' market value quadrupled because of Yao Ming.

, the role of NBA superstars is extremely huge.

And Mr. Zhang is not an ordinary superstar, he will definitely surpass Jordan. Let us think about the value of a person who surpasses the god of basketball, well...

In fact, I suddenly realized that 10 percent was too low, so I decided to change it to 15 percent."

Li Xiaowan said.

These words almost made Chen Xiangwen vomit blood. What made him even more depressed was that he could not question Zhang Zhiyuan's ability and had to admit that Li Xiaowan's hypothesis was valid.

"Sister Li, please don't make trouble. Let's do this. Eight percent is the highest."

Chen Xiangwen said.

"Just 100%. I know you may be worried that I can't surpass Jordan, but I can guarantee you here. I can even make a betting agreement. In the future, my achievements will definitely surpass Jordan. 10%.

Not a loss either.

In addition to the 10% dry shares, we also have to pay to buy another 10% of the shares."

Zhang Zhiyuan spoke.

He has witnessed the rise of the Warriors and knows how much a star can help the team, so he believes that he is worth more than 10%.

"this......"

Chen Xiangwen had a headache because Zhang Zhiyuan had such a big appetite that he had to take away 20% of the shares in one go.

Their consortium also pooled funds from several companies, and each company received less than 20% of the shares. In this way, Zhang Zhiyuan became the largest shareholder.

This was unacceptable to Chen Xiangwen.

However, he couldn't refuse.

After all, Zhang Zhiyuan is the key to the plan. Without Zhang Zhiyuan's joining, everything would be impossible.

"Mr. Chen, if you are still worried that it is not cost-effective, I have another plan."

Zhang Zhiyuan said.

"Oh, tell me."

Chen Xiangwen said.

"It's very simple. You lend me money, and I will buy a team entirely. I will be responsible for the profits and losses, and I will give you 15% interest every year."

Zhang Zhiyuan smiled.

He has witnessed the history of the skyrocketing value of NBA teams.

In 2011, the collective bargaining agreement was revised, allowing bosses to receive more money.

Won a super TV broadcast contract in 2014.

Full sponsorship contract for 2017.

In a dozen years, basically every team will be able to double its value eight or nine times.

"Mr. Zhang is joking."
