Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Chapter 7: Bruce's letter (recommendation)

Liu Yu and Liu Guangrong finally returned to Wudu. At the exit of the airport, they saw their mother, Zhao Chun, who hadn’t seen him in half a year. Liu’s father and son were also very excited. No, Liu Yu has run to his mother for the first time. Let my mother hold him. Old man Liu was speechless for a while. I accompany you to lie down in the United States with exhaustion. I won't give me a break when I come back. I also occupy my wife. Seeing that your **** must be itchy, you need to beat and beat.

Poor Comrade Zhang Chao is so miserable. Those who ran before and after running in the United States didn't have time to go to Hipi. Didn't it mean to travel to the United States and turned into a company to expand the industry? Isn't this a fool!

I heard that American girls are very beautiful, and I want to get acquainted with them, but I didn't even see the fart. I was either studying contract information at the hotel or accompanying Liu's father and son to negotiate.

After returning, Zhang Chao was extremely speechless when he watched the family spread dog food at him.

Fortunately, this trip to Zhix in the United States was not without gain. Not to mention the half-year salary, the Liu family and his son also rewarded themselves with 5000 yuan, which is a worthwhile trip.

To bid farewell to Liu Yu and his family, Zhang Chao left. Not only did he change his clothes on this trip, he also brought back bad things from the United States, ready to go home to his parents.

This trip to the United States was a lot of trouble. After returning home, his mother Zhao Chun began to trouble the strange father and son.

When Liu Yu saw that the atmosphere was not right, he slipped away early, leaving the old man alone to face the maddening madness.

Life has to go on. Zhao Chun has already given out a sum of money to build a new house from the money sent back from the United States, and it hasn't been decorated yet. The main reason is that the drawings sent by Liu Yu are very complicated. How do you say it? Have you ever seen a classical garden residence, just like the gardens in the summer resort.

When Comrade Zhao Chun saw the money sent back, he was immediately furious. Okay, you father and son dare to deceive the old lady and don't want to survive. Fortunately, the father and son called and explained the matter before reluctantly giving up.

My heart is unbalanced. Why do you go to America to go to the United States and I want to stay behind? When this mentality becomes extreme, Comrade Zhao Chun immediately became a shopaholic, first buying clothes and cosmetics, etc., in the 90s. It didn't have much money, and when I saw that I bought almost the same thing, I felt uncomfortable, so I listened to the advice of the father and son to buy a shop house and land.

After preparing for it, if the father and son go bankrupt, there are many places where they can become renters in the future, and they can collect rent and subsidize their households every month.

Secondly, buying land from the advice of the father and son can build a branch office, and the luxurious garden villa he will live in later. Everyone wants to live a good life. Comrade Zhao Chun is no exception, so he can lose money.

Liu Yu didn't say anything. Originally, the money was made for enjoyment, and it was moldy to keep it in the bank.

After returning to Wudu, Liu Guangrong quit his job. Now he and his wife Zhao Chun are "lay-off" workers, but there are still many people who come to see the Liu family and his son. After all, they have sent it out, not relatives and friends to join in the fun. It was the local comrades who came to find the father and son to invest in the construction of Wudu.

The Liu family, father and son, are still very enlightened. They used 100 million US dollars to build the fog city. You didn't see the comrades from those places worrying when they came, and they were happy when they left.

Old man Liu was also born to work hard, and finally started a new job after a few days of rest, building the branch of the Tianhan Empire financial group.

Although his wife Zhao Chun doesn't understand these things, it is still fine for the construction workers to decorate the house. Although there are professionals who are supervising them, they still take care of some trivial matters.

What is our protagonist Liu Yu doing? In the final exams, heaven, earth, who will ban the exams, I will run into the exams as soon as I come back, there is no luck, ha ha.

Didn’t you see the teacher looking resentfully at the little bit who was immersed in writing questions? I don’t usually come to class, so I only come back for the exams. I don’t know if it’s a student or an invited uncle. So arrogant, why are you so rich? class.

Do you think Liu Yu is willing? After he came back, he found the principal of the primary school, and after agreeing to give the school a sum of money for the construction of the teaching building, he discussed with the principal. He usually comes to class when he has time, and when he has no time to take the exam. Anyway, Liu Yu also completed the first to sixth grades in front of the principal and the teacher. The teacher corrected it on the spot. It turned out that Liu Yu could get full marks without having to go to class, so he didn’t worry about the fact that he was not often in school. Up.

On the other side:

In Paul Allen’s villa in Seattle, United States, I looked at the slightly thicker documents on the table. They were the NBA Seattle Supersonics’ property swap contract and the NFL Seattle Seahawks’ property purchase contract, not to mention. A letter specifically written to Bruce before he left was exactly a future construction management plan for the Seattle Supersonics.

Paul Allen’s mood is not yet known how to describe it. "Moved", really, apart from these two words, he can't find any words to describe his gratitude to Bruce now.

The two teams that spent 400 million US dollars to buy were given away in a blink of an eye. This is impossible in the world, but this is happening now.

I haven’t seen the fact that mainstream countries across the United States and even the world are scrambling to report on this matter, bringing the NBA and the NFL league to a new level of historical influence, plus the Seattle Supersonics owner Barry Ackley and the Seattle Seahawks owner He Herman also broke the news to local media reporters that Bruce went to talk to them about the acquisition. The result was a national sensation. The media reporters wandered around his home in Seattle every day just to interview him.

Walked back to the desk, picked up the letter in his hand that he had read over and over again and passed it to his good brother Bill Gates and his sister Jody Allen sitting in the living room.

After the two watched them, besides being moved, they still had doubts, why Bruce would spend so much effort to do this without asking for anything in return. Is there any purpose?

Both Paul Allen and Bill Gates, who are high IQs, actually don’t really believe that there are such people in this world, but Bruce didn’t ask for anything. Even the NFL team is based in Seattle, take care of it. It should be.

Talking to Bill Gates is to get a clear idea. If you can’t figure it out anyway, then you don’t want to. When the team’s exchange of property rights is finished, Paul Allen decided to go to China. First, I thank Bruce for realizing this dream for himself, and the second is to go out and travel. Anyway, since he resigned from Microsoft due to Hodgkin’s disease in 1983, he suffered from Hodgkin’s disease in 1983. Resigned from Microsoft and left the board of directors in 1984 (but returned to the board in 1990). You can also take a break in advance.

Bill Gates and Jody Allen are also very concerned about Paul Allen’s body, but fortunately, after the operation in January this year, the body is obviously better. It’s time to live for yourself, especially the Seattle SuperSonics. The team has finally become his own team, he will not be ruthless to join the team immediately, then what about Microsoft? It is enough for Microsoft to manage with Bill and Ballmer, who is obese.

At that time, you can ask Bill and Jody and Tiana to go to China together. This idea is fine.

"It would be great if this kid was my son. I want to have such an excellent son."

He does not mean that. Bill Gates thinks that Bruce has a good character and can recognize his relatives, but Jody doesn’t think so. After such a big thing, Jody doesn’t reject Bruce anymore, but if you want this kid to be the heir Surely not, Bruce is considered an outsider, and he is not qualified to inherit his brother Paul's property. It's almost the same as being a son-in-law, depending on whether the kid is willing to become a parent.

Paul Allen also thinks it makes sense. He can accept his relationship. When he is the "godfather" of that kid, no one will dare to bully him in the United States in the future. The more I think about it, the more I feel that this method is feasible, even if it is to pay back what Bruce has done for him.

The high IQ Paul Allen did not expect that Bruce had always made this idea. He came to the United States to expand his business. No one would look after him. Bruce had already catered to Paul Allen. This is not silly. You got the bait!

Looking at the suggestions in the letter, Paul Allen looked thoughtfully at the night scenery outside the window.

Note the letter Bruce wrote to Paul Allen.

"Dear Mr. Paul Allen, I was already on the plane back to China when you read this letter."

"First of all, I am sorry that I bought two teams without your permission to give you away. I guess it will be very annoying for you. Haha, I really want to hit my ass, right? What a pity, you Can't call it, haha, smiley."

"The reason why the property rights of the two teams are given to you, except because you have made a huge contribution to the city of Seattle, the potential of Microsoft will not be said. In order to allow the Supersonics to stay in Seattle forever, in 1987 You go to Mr. Barry to talk about the acquisition, but unfortunately it did not succeed."

"Your love for the city of Seattle is obvious to all. Otherwise, you wouldn't buy the Portland Trail Blazers closest to Seattle at a super high price. I understand your feelings very well. I just want to get closer to Seattle, just like Even though the woman I like won't be available in the end, I still want to stay silently by my side."

"Mr. Paul Allen, as early as when I decided to acquire an NBA team as the owner, I investigated the information of the owner of each team. To be honest, you are the purest person I have known since I was in the United States, without any impurities. people."

"I can't do it myself at this point. Do you remember what I said when you were drunk the night when I was a guest at your villa? If you have a chance, you are still willing to be the boss of the Sonics, so just That night I decided to give you the property rights of the team at all costs for the sake of the city of Seattle and your dream."

"In addition, for the Seattle Seahawks, I also hope you can take care of them. I know you like basketball more than football, but I know you will not look at the Seahawks regardless. From what I have learned, the current seahawks The Hawks are operating under very difficult circumstances. The team’s performance is not good and the stadium is not on the ground. The team owner may move the team out of Seattle, so I will buy the team privately and hand over the property rights to you. To help the Seahawks stay in Seattle."

"In addition, I have left 300 million US dollars in the Tianhan Empire Consortium. After the successful acquisition and transfer of the shares of the Seahawks, the lawyers in the group will transfer 300 million funds to your account. I hope you will work hard. Now, find the local government to solve the problem of the stadium, 300 million yuan should be able to build a good stadium!"

"Finally, I thought about it, discussed it with my own NBA analysis team, and gave a few suggestions. Mr. Paul Allen, you can choose any one to try, and of course you don't have to adopt my suggestion."

"Hands-off shopkeeper type: Choose a manager with good ability to take charge of daily affairs. The recommended candidates are 1. Bob West (current Seattle Supersonics general manager), 2. Bob Buss (current Spurs general manager) .

As for the head coaches, 1. Lanny Wilkens (Seattle Meritorious Head Coach), 2. George Karl (Current Seattle Supersonics Head Coach), 3. Rick Adelman (Current Portland Development Head coach of the team)”

"Hands-on type: Find a trusted general manager and head coach by yourself."

"By the way, attach the list of players selected by the Seattle team in the 90 NBA Draft."

"The second pick of course picks Gary Payton, and the 38th pick in the second round picks Antonio Davis."

...

What follows is the analysis of team management recommendations and selection of the general manager of the coach.

I believe that as long as this letter is reported, it will surely set off the next huge wave.

After discussing with Bill Gates, Paul Allen and Bill Gates decided to disclose the first half of this letter, firstly to help Bruce go to New York in the future to develop recruits, and secondly to show the identity of Bruce's "godfather" to outsiders. After all, the old American in the 1990s still discriminated against Asians, let alone being the "godfather" of Asians.

The latter half of the team’s management recommendations and analysis are kept in Paul Allen’s own private warehouse.

When Paul Allen published this letter publicly, media reporters across the United States were completely crazy, interviewing relatives and friends around Paul Allen about this time in Seattle.

"The New York Times: What kind of feelings, the love of former Microsoft CEO Paul Allen for Seattle."

"Washington Post: Paul Allen is the savior of Seattle."

"Strangers: The exotic father-son relationship between Paul Allen and Bruce." This report is specifically published by Paul Allento's relationship.

The current Paul Allen is too hot. To what extent is it that even most of the players and ordinary employees of Microsoft, the Supersonics and the Seahawks have been interviewed. The market value of Microsoft is definitely rising. Bill Gates and their smiling faces are rotten, which Bruce did not expect.

Even the local people in Seattle were touched by Paul Allen's spirit of dedicating everything to Seattle. Didn't you see that Paul Allen's candidacy for the mayor of Seattle was everywhere on the streets and alleys!

Fortunately, Paul Allen declined the request of the masses because of his physical discomfort. The people also knew that Paul Allen had just finished the operation and it took time to recover, and they understood.

During this time, Paul Allen was also very busy. First, he followed Bruce’s advice and chose the overall management framework of the untouched Supersonics. The general manager is still Bob West, the head coach is George Carr, and the current Lenny is mainly. Wilkens is a coach for the Eagles and he is not coming for the time being.

The NBA draft won Gary Payton and Antonio Davis to further strengthen the team's strength.

Then I visited the senior officials in the Seattle government. At this time, Paul Allen’s influence in Seattle is definitely higher than that of the mayor of Seattle. Who dares not to contribute, simply solve the problem of the Seattle Seahawks stadium. A new open-air stadium was built at the Virginia Mason Sports Center on Lake Washington in the southeastern suburb of Seattle.

In October, Paul Allen took his sister Jody Allen and niece Tiana to China by plane. This time there are some media reporters from the United States, mainly interviewing the little saint Bruce, and reporting on Microsoft by the way. The whole process of the rich man Paul Allen being the "godfather" of Bruce.

As early as a few months ago, Liu Yu learned that Paul Allen was coming to the fog to thank him. In fact, it was nothing. Since Paul Allen wanted to come, let him come, and learned that he would be recognized by Paul Allen. When kissing, Liu Yu was so excited that he slept well all night.

When I received Paul's family at Wudu Airport, I took the three of them to travel everywhere, and I was so happy.

During the period, I also discussed with Liu Yu's parents and became the "godfather" of Liu Yu. These American media also reported back to the United States.

During the tour, Paul Allen also chatted with Liu Yu about the situation of Microsoft, the Supersonics, and the Seahawks. The two had a close conversation for a long time, and finally reached a comprehensive cooperation agreement.

Not only sports, but also finance, e-commerce and other businesses.

In addition, Paul Allen will secretly take care of the Tianhan Empire consortium. If someone hits his attention, he will probably endure an angry counterattack from Paul Allen.

Liu Yu knew that he could walk sideways while in the United States, and danced happily.

At present, the most important thing is to expand the domestic industry. There are professional managers and Paul Allen in foreign countries. There should be no major mistakes. Time does not wait for anyone. The team will be established in 1992. There are too many things to do, so you have to plan carefully.

Parting is always sad. Paul Allen left in the end and returned to Seattle to look at his base camp. He will never leave Seattle and run to the small city of Portland to manage the team. He loves Seattle. city.

After leaving Paul's family away, Liu Yu temporarily hibernates himself. The next time Liu Yu appears in front of the world, it will not be such a small mess. It is absolutely earth-shattering...
