Chapter 357: Dialogue between Jordan and Stern (7)

Once the Hornets move out of Charlotte, no matter what other cities are better than in Charlotte, right, then it is undoubtedly in the interests of other bosses in the league, and their players are likely to be because of this. The reason why the city chooses to take refuge in each other is definitely something they don't want to see. It is precisely because of this that everyone resolutely opposes it.

George Sinn’s reputation in Charlotte is already stinking. If you don’t move the team out, you can only buy the team, but the problem is that George Sinn is still unwilling to sell. What about the team!

You, Michael Jordan, want to buy the Hornets. It’s just that you need to compete with other people. To put it bluntly, it means more than money, and the one who has more money is the uncle.

The question is, do you still have this money, Michael Jordan? !

How can I help you keep the Hornets without revealing the consortium behind you!

Of course Stern would not say this sentence!

You can’t say directly to Michael Jordan: I only talk to people behind you, you don’t have the money to talk to me like this.

"David, money is not a problem, the question is how long can you stay for me?!"

This is the key. As far as he knows, there are still a few consortiums that are staring at the Hornets. It is still a bit strenuous to fight. Of course, Michael Jordan is not that he has no confidence in the financial resources of the Blues. It is a team like the Hornets. In a few years, at most 150 million can be obtained up and down. If it is 200 million, it is really worth it. It is not a team in a big city, and 200 million can be bought directly from a team in a big city. If Stern can't stand the pressure to let the Hornets leave, it means that the price will definitely soar, then what is the point of buying the Hornets by himself!

"You really have this money. According to my estimation, the Hornets are currently worth more than 100 million yuan. If you decide to buy them, Michael, if you decide to buy them, I will help you keep the Hornets in Charlotte! "

That is, Michael Jordan had to buy the Hornets before he compromised to help him stay in Charlotte. Other people would definitely not do it. Michael Jordan bought the Hornets for his own benefit or for the league.

He didn’t say it himself. Backed by the mountain of North Carolina, at least many local fans would take Michael Jordan’s field to watch the Hornets game, which indirectly helped the league increase the basketball atmosphere of the team. And the income isn't it.

On the other hand, the league will continue to expand the NBA's influence in the United States because of the influence of Michael Jordan buying the Hornets. You must know that Michael Jordan's influence in the United States is quite high now. How high is it? Anyway, the other players in the four major leagues in the United States did not dare to challenge Michael Jordan.

Michael Jordan is so awesome now, not to mention that he immediately bought the owner of the NBA team Michael Jordan after retiring. This is undoubtedly more attractive to everyone.

In short, Michael Jordan bought the Hornets and it was really a win-win situation. He couldn't achieve such an effect when he bought other teams. Really, it was only in Charlotte or Chicago that he had such a "special" influence.

"I'm definitely going to buy the Hornets. If possible, it will only take a few years!"

"You know, David, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight for long. If I really retire, I will definitely not choose to pay anymore. I am already tired, and my body is almost exhausted. I still have some fuel. Help the NBA count day by day!"

I can't say that I can fight for another 30 years. I know my physical condition very well. I am indeed on the verge of extinction as I said. If I fight for a year or two, I don’t have a big problem. After four or five years, then you can only be a spectator on the bench. Besides, are you the kind of spectator?

It’s better to retire as a substitute. Besides, Bruce has already arranged for him. After retiring, he can basically buy the Hornets and be the boss. Why not do it? I have to make myself so tired.

Besides, the current environment of the Bull really makes him not want to stay too much. General manager Jerry Krauss really wanted to change the blood of the Bull. It is really not suitable to keep the Bull himself, which greatly hinders him. The future development of the Bulls.

Although I am not too cold with the Bulls management, I really love the Bulls team. I don't want to be a burden for the Bulls.

The above reasons basically constituted the idea of ​​wanting to retire.

Stern was also silent after hearing the truth from Michael Jordan.

He really knows that Michael Jordan won't be playing for long. He can see it from the first time he chose to retire. It's just that it's really hard for people to let go of that day.

"Michael, let me help you stay for a few years. This is the league's compensation for you! It's just that you'd better acquire the Hornets as soon as possible. I won't be able to help you for long!"

After all, Michael Jordan has paid so much for the league. If there is no credit, there must be hard work. Helping Michael Jordan keep the Hornets in Charlotte is really not a matter. Just say hello in the league and let George Sinn move. The plan is not passed at the owners' meeting, what a big deal!

But if George Sinn can’t move away, there is undoubtedly the only way to sell the team as soon as possible. He is too stinking in Charlotte, and now there are basically very few fans going to watch the game, not to mention it. The player expressed his reluctance to play for George Sinn, and it is certain to sell the team under such circumstances.

Stern is afraid that George Sinn will choose to sell the team before long, and Michael Jordan may not be able to pay for it in such a short time.

Anyway, one day can be counted as one day, I can only hope that the consortium behind Michael Jordan will be strong.

"OK, David, thank you so much!"

Michael Jordan is still quite happy, at least he didn't come in vain this trip, and finally got Stern's promise.

The rest is on Bruce. He really doesn't have the ability to take down the Hornets, so Bruce can help him with the money, and it's the kind that doesn't want to return too much.

God knows what it means to buy the Hornets as a shareholder with other consortiums. What he wants has always been absolute control. It's not what he wants to watch from the sidelines.

"Okay, Michael, you don't have to be polite, I have to go, I have to rush back to the New York headquarters to deal with things?!" Stern wiped his mouth with a napkin and stood up and said to Michael Jordan.

The meal that should be eaten is also finished, and the chat is over, so can we leave?

"Okay, let me pay the bill!"

Michael Jordan is a little bit embarrassed. After all, he has to ask someone for help and have to pay the other party. There is no such saying!

"Nothing, I'll ask if you say yes, you leave first, I'll pay for it!"

The main reason is that Michael Jordan is too famous in the United States now. If one is not good enough, it will attract a large number of paparazzi, so he can only let him, the president of the league who usually does not appear in public, pay the bill.

Although Stern often goes on and off TV from time to time, after all, he is seen in the annual draft and lottery ceremonies, but in terms of influence, no one can beat Michael Jordan!
