Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 3: wise man's conversation

Under the orderly operation of the staff, Jiang Shixiao's acquisition plan for the New Jersey Nets is advancing in an orderly manner. First, the board of directors voted by the owners of 29 NBA teams. The acquisition plan received 26 votes in favor, 3 abstentions, and 0 votes. The result against it is passed. After successfully passing this level, the negotiations between Jiang Shixiao and the current owner of the Nets, Bruce Ratner, officially began.

The three steps of team value evaluation, transaction situation estimation and buyer qualification review are carried out at the same time. The first is the valuation of the New Jersey Nets. The most important of these is the Barclays Center, a new ultra-luxurious gym built by the Nets in Brooklyn. Brooklyn is not a wealthy area in New York, but it is also the most populous area in the five boroughs of New York, with a total of 2.5 million The population, with nicknames such as the City of Trees, the City of Homes and the City of Churches, shows its unique charm. Compared with Manhattan, the capital of the world on the other side, it has a more rustic atmosphere, the environment is more livable, and the appreciation potential is relatively large.

The league entrusted Deloitte of the Big Four accounting firms to be responsible for this evaluation and review. After a two-week period, Deloitte gave its own valuation. Combining various factors, the New Jersey Nets’ valuation is roughly Around $840 million.

The price has been roughly concluded, and the next step is the specific sale of the equity. From Bruce Ratner's point of view, he definitely wants to sell part of it first, and then take a look at the development of the Nets after arriving in New York, and then take the rest. He is not a fool. Of course, he knows that the Nets' move to New York has a lot to do. How critical.

However, what Bruce Ratner thought, Jiang Shixiao could also see it. Beside him, Jiang Mingliang kept reminding his father that even if he bleeds a little more now, he must keep the Nets in his pocket.

The shopping mall is like a battlefield. During the negotiation process of this acquisition, Jiang Mingliang finally realized this sentence. The negotiators on both sides were at each other's throats and refused to give in to each other. Anything that was not rigorous in their words could be caught by the other side and made a big fuss.

Fortunately, the two sides are in the same general direction, which is to facilitate the conclusion of this transaction. This commonality ensures the advancement of the acquisition. News about the new progress of the acquisition is reported almost every day. Fans who are concerned about the NBA, especially Nets fans, their mood also fluctuated with the progress of the acquisition.

Because of the imminent relocation to New York, the mood of local New Jersey fans is complicated. The Chinese fans far away on the other side of the ocean paid great attention to this transaction because of the existence of the Nets player Yi Jianlian and the identity of Jiang Shixiao as a wealthy Chinese businessman, and looked forward to it very much.

"shock! The Great Wall of China gathers with the Nets? Yao Ming + Yi Jianlian will help the Nets take off"

"Whether it is extremely peaceful, whether the Nets welcomes a new student will see next week"

A variety of news floods the homepages of major sports media. In this era of eyeball economy, the Nets have earned the highest attention in China. These data fall in the eyes of NBA President David Stern, who attaches great importance to the Chinese market, and he is also delighted. The seeding, operation, flowering and results of the NBA in the Chinese market are all driven by him. Seeing that the NBA has become an indispensable spice in the life of Chinese teenagers at this stage, the news of James and Kobe Bryant can fill their conversations. Turn is proud of what he has achieved. And a Chinese owner is willing to take over the mess of the Nets, obviously than Prokhorov's appetite for Stern.

"President, the Nets acquisition case has been discussed. After the final details are dealt with, a formal contract can be signed and announced to the public." A tall, thin bald head walked into Stern's office and asked Stern. Turn report on the latest progress.

"OK. We have another powerful partner." Stern smiled, "Arrange a meeting with Jiang Shixiao. We can arrange the China Games."

The NBA China Games refers to the annual preseason games of the NBA, where two teams will be arranged to go to China. Under normal circumstances, it will be the most popular team in the NBA in China. It was the Rockets before, but Yao Ming was affected by injuries in the past two years and it was difficult to attend. In 2008, the Bucks, where Yi Jianlian was located, were arranged. Who would have thought that Yi Jianlian would be traded after the arrangement was made, which caught Stern by surprise.

This year, Jiang Shixiao's acquisition of the Nets has been hotly debated in Huaxia, and Stern would be a ghost if he did not arrange for the Nets.

. . . . . . .

The NBA was founded on June 6, 1946, and its headquarters is located in the Olympic Tower at 645 Fifth Avenue in New York City.

Jiang Shixiao, Jiang Mingliang and his son took their Rolls-Royce and slowly parked to the parking area in the Olympia Tower.

I got out of the car and walked into the building, and saw the huge NBA sign not far away.

Fifteen minutes later, in a conference room, Jiang Mingliang first met David Stern, who "before" could only be seen on TV. What should I say? I was not very excited.

After transmigrating to Jiang Mingliang's body, although his own consciousness is the leading factor, the knowledge, life habits, and different thinking patterns that this body has before also affects him, such as the characteristic of not being surprised when he sees famous people. .

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jiang Shixiao."

"Dear Mr. David Stern, hello. Thank you very much for your help in the acquisition process." Jiang Shixiao held Stern's hand while speaking in Chinese, and looked at Jiang Mingliang, "This It's my son Jiang Mingliang, he's a basketball fan."

"Hello." The moment he saw Jiang Mingliang, Stern's eyes lit up and shook hands with him.

"Next, let him help me take care of the New Jersey Nets for the time being." Jiang Shixiao said.

After the two parties were seated, Stern's assistant Angela introduced to Jiang Shixiao, Jiang Mingliang and his son the mechanism and precautions of NBA operation.

The NBA is a league made up of 30 teams, and it is also a company. Because the owners of each team are powerful and prestigious figures in the United States, strict rules are needed to manage them. Everyone needs to work within established rules.

"Acquiring the New Jersey Nets and entering the NBA must be the right decision for you. I also hope that you will manage your business well. From my personal point of view, I hope our members can be very stable." After explaining the rules, Stern told Jiang Shi Xiao expressed friendship.

"I am also very optimistic about the prospects of the NBA. The NBA has a very strong fan base in the United States and China, the two largest markets in the world, and no other sports league can be compared." On Stern's point, he is most proud of his great achievements in opening up the Chinese market.

"Next we can talk about the NBA China Games. I plan to arrange for the Nets to play in the China Games this fall."

To be honest, Jiang Mingliang had thought about this arrangement before, and was looking forward to this happening. He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Jiang Shixiao's small gesture.

"Expanding the market for the league is an obligation that every team should undertake. We will keep Yi Jianlian in the team. To ensure the ideal result of the China Games."

Stern's wrinkled face showed a smile again, talking to a smart person is easy.

"I hope you all go well in the NBA."
