Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 3 Conversations Between Smart People

Under the orderly operation of the staff, Jiang Shixiao’s acquisition plan for the New Jersey Nets was advancing in an orderly manner. First, the board of directors voted with the participation of 29 NBA team owners. The acquisition plan received 26 votes in favor, 3 abstentions, and 0 votes The objection 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 assessment, transaction forecast and buyer qualification review are carried out at the same time. The first is the valuation of the New Jersey Nets team. The most important of these is the Barclays Center, the ultra-luxury stadium newly built by the Nets in Brooklyn. Brooklyn does not belong to the rich area of ​​New York, but it is also the most populous area among the five major boroughs of New York, with a full population of 2.5 million. Population, nicknames such as the City of Trees, the City of Homes and the City of Churches show its unique charm. Compared with Manhattan, the capital of the world on the other side, it has a rustic atmosphere, a more livable environment, and greater potential for appreciation.

The league entrusted Deloitte of the Big Four accounting firms to be responsible for the evaluation and review work this time. After two weeks, Deloitte gave its own valuation. Combining various factors, the valuation of the New Jersey Nets is roughly Around 840 million US dollars.

The price has been roughly concluded, and the next step is the specific sale of equity. From Bruce Ratner's point of view, he definitely hopes to sell part of it first, to see the development of the Nets after they arrive in New York, and then sell the rest. How critical.

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

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and Jiang Mingliang finally understood this sentence when he personally participated in the negotiation process of this acquisition. The negotiators on both sides were fierce with each other, refusing to give in to each other, and any imprecise words in the words could be caught by the other side and make a big fuss.

Fortunately, the two sides are consistent in the general direction, which is to facilitate the conclusion of this transaction. This commonality ensures the progress of the acquisition. Almost every day there is news about new progress in the acquisition. Fans who follow the NBA especially Nets fans, their mood also fluctuates with the progress of the acquisition.

Because of the imminent relocation to New York, the feelings of local fans in New Jersey are complicated. On the other side of the ocean, Huaxia fans paid a lot of attention to this deal because of the presence of Nets player Yi Jianlian and Jiang Shixiao's status as a rich Chinese businessman, and they were looking forward to it.

"Jiang Shixiao's acquisition of the Nets is progressing rapidly, Chinese power shines in the NBA"

"The new boss of the Nets privately revealed: If I buy the Nets, I will build a team around the United Arab Emirates"

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

"Whether the Nets welcome new students or not, we will see next week"

All kinds of news are flooding the homepages of major sports media. In this era of eyeball economy, the Nets have earned the highest attention in China. These statistics fall into the eyes of NBA president David Stern, who attaches great importance to the Chinese market, and he is secretly happy. He single-handedly promoted the sowing, management, flowering, and fruiting of the NBA in the Chinese market. Seeing that the NBA has become an indispensable condiment in the life of Chinese teenagers at this stage, news about James and Kobe's strengths and weaknesses can be filled in their conversations, and the annual star tour in China can bring crowds of people. Thorn is proud of what he has achieved. And a Chinese owner is willing to take over the mess of the Nets, which is obviously better than Prokhorov's appetite for Stern.

"President, the acquisition of the Nets has almost been discussed. After the final details are dealt with, a formal contract can be signed and announced to the public." A tall, thin, bald man walked into Stern's office and asked Stern Ten reported the latest developments so far.

"OK. We have another powerful partner." Stern smiled, "Arrange a meeting with Jiang Shixiao for me. We can arrange matters for the Huaxia competition."

The NBA Huaxia Game refers to the NBA's annual preseason games, where two teams are arranged to travel to China. Usually, it will be the most popular team in China in the NBA. It used to be the Rockets, but Yao Ming was affected by injuries in the past two years, making it difficult to attend. In 2008, Yi Jianlian was arranged for the Bucks. Who would have thought that Yi Jianlian would be traded after the arrangement was completed, which caught Stern by surprise.

This year, Jiang Shixiao's acquisition of the Nets was a hot topic in China, and it would be a ghost if Stern didn't arrange for the Nets.

. . . . . . .

The NBA was established on June 6, 1946. The headquarters building is located in the Olympic Tower Building at 645 Fifth Avenue in New York City.

Jiang Shixiao, Jiang Mingliang and his son took their Rolls Royce to the parking area of ​​the Olympia Tower slowly.

After getting out of the car and walking into the building, I saw the huge nba sign not far away and walked in.

Fifteen minutes later, in a conference room, Jiang Mingliang met David Stern for the first time, who "before" could only be seen on TV, and he was not very excited.

After transmigrating into Jiang Mingliang's body, although his own consciousness is the dominant factor, the knowledge possessed by this body before, life habits, and other thinking patterns are also affecting him, such as the characteristic of not being surprised when seeing celebrities .

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

"Dear Mr. David Stern, hello. Thank you very much for your help during the acquisition process." Jiang Shixiao spoke Chinese while holding Stern's hand 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 he shook hands with him.

He has a good image, and by introducing him, the NBA China Games will have another highlight.

"Next, he will help me take care of the New Jersey Nets temporarily." Jiang Shixiao said.

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

The NBA is a league composed of 30 teams and a company. Because the owners of each team are powerful and famous figures in the United States, strict rules are needed to manage them. Everyone needs to do things within the established rules.

"Acquiring the New Jersey Nets and entering the NBA must be your correct decision. I also hope that you will manage 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 friendliness.

"I am also very optimistic about the prospects of the NBA. The NBA has a strong fan base in the United States and China, the two countries with the largest markets in the world. No other sports league can compare." From Stern's point of view, what he is most proud of is 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 considered this arrangement before, and was looking forward to it 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. Ensure that the Huaxia Games achieve the desired results."

A smile appeared on Stern's wrinkled face again. Talking to smart people is easy.

"Hope you guys are doing well in the NBA."
