I Am a Nobleman in England

Looking at the information in hand, in terms of price, the New Jersey Nets is undoubtedly the most suitable choice for Arthur at present, no more, no less.

However, Arthur, who knows something about the NBA, is more interested in the famous Golden State Warriors that will rise in the future. After all, playing in the NBA, who doesn't want to win a championship while making money, or even establish a dynasty or something.

Moreover, in terms of performance, although the Golden State Warriors are also bad, they are at least much better than the Nets.

Speaking of the Nets, it should be regarded as a team with a low sense of presence in the NBA. Although they have achieved good results under the leadership of Kidd, Carter and others, in recent years, in addition to creating some disturbances in the new stadium in Brooklyn, New York, and signing Dakongyi, they have a lot of power in China. fame.

However, the Nets' performance in recent years has been terrible, and the lineup is not as star-studded as other teams. The peak period can be traced back to the 2001-2002 season and 2002-2003 season. They rushed to the finals twice, with Jason Kidd, Kenyon Martin , Richard Jefferson's Nets lost to the Lakers and Spurs in the finals, missing the championship.

As for the Warriors, it's the same situation. Although there is a black eight miracle, it's like a flash in the pan, and the record is also on the street.

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

Arthur is really a little entangled. To be honest, because of future memory, he is more inclined to the Golden State Warriors. However, the price is more than twice his budget, so he wants to hear from this group of financial professionals. Views.

"The New Jersey Nets surpass all other teams in terms of price and future development potential. There are three main ways for NBA teams to make money. One is advertising sponsorship fees, the other is TV broadcasting, and the third is Game day ticket revenue and merchandise sales.

If there is a choice, it is best for the team to be located in a big city, so as to ensure the revenue of the ticket market. However, the current few teams do not have any advantages. For example, the Golden State Warriors have always been I am trying to move from Oakland to downtown San Francisco in order to get a bigger ball market.

According to our understanding, the New Jersey Nets have also been striving to move from the small ball city of New Jersey to Brooklyn, New York. For this reason, they have built a new arena in Brooklyn, which is the Barclays Center Arena. This is a brand new modern arena costing US$1 billion. Although it is still under construction, Barclays spends US$40 million a year for the naming rights of the arena.

Although the Nets only sold 80% of the shares this time, they also included 45% of the ownership of the Barclays Center. sale!

The arena is the real high-quality asset.

In the future, the market valuation of this arena will definitely rise. In the United States, especially in New York, such an advanced venue would not worry about how to make money. In addition to sports competitions, various entertainment performances and activities will also make the schedule full.

As for the current situation and future performance of the Nets, to be honest, the boss, the worse the Nets are, the better. Only in this way can the team be rebuilt. . . "

Listening to his subordinates, he strongly recommends the New Jersey Nets. At first, Arthur instinctively rejected it, but with the analysis of his subordinates, he favored the Nets more and more.

You must know that businessmen are all profit-seeking, and no one will do things that are thankless. Especially in the league of nba, no one is always the king or the underdog. The past record of the Nets can't bear to look directly at it, but this can just be a new starting point for them.

In the NBA, there are stars, a reasonable lineup, and good results are a matter of course. As long as you find the way to survive in the NBA and grasp the summer every year, it is not out of reach for the Nets to bottom out and rebound.

After all, even if it was the Warriors he favored more before, why didn't it be because the rookie Curry gradually grew up and rebuilt the team around him to achieve such dazzling results?

More importantly, if the Nets can really move from New Jersey to Brooklyn, New York, then the value of the Nets will be different! You know, New York is undoubtedly a city with a well-developed market in all aspects.

Think about the Knicks, a super-taken-off team. It seems to be a team that has nothing to do with the playoffs, but this does not prevent them from being one of the most valuable teams in the league, and it does not prevent Madison Square Garden from having a full stadium. Attendance.

Moreover, being in a big market also provides a lot of convenience for the team's commercial development. Although commercial sponsorship is not conspicuous in the income structure of the NBA team, the Nets have a lot of money, although his gold content cannot be compared with the little giant. They are comparable, but Arthur knows better than anyone else that the era of the little giant is coming to an end.

And without the little giant's NBA, the Chinese market will undoubtedly be transferred to the only remaining Dakongyi, even if he is not very suitable for the NBA, but I have to say that Dakongyi's skills are still very good, and it is still better to play a substitute lineup or something. Yes, even if he is raising him, the money he earns from the Tianchao market every year is definitely a worthwhile business!

What's more, it also includes a new arena, tsk tsk, this is the real good asset!

Although the Nets are still a civilian team at this stage and have gone through many detours, as long as they organize their thinking, grit their teeth and play badly for a season or two, get a good sign and rebuild the team, maybe in the near future, The Nets will become a truly powerful team standing in the league.

To be honest, investing in football clubs and buying nba teams, for Arthur, is not at all afraid that he will screw up. In this regard, he has his own experience, that is, don't care about the team's performance in the short term. In business talk business, trust professionals, be as smart as a torch, just hire a group of management with smart eyes and knowledge, fully delegate power, do not mix indiscriminately, and direct blindly.

After pondering for a while, Arthur made a decisive decision, and said to his subordinates: "Separate a group of people and contact the owner of the Nets. I want to buy it...By the way, do we have any competitors? "

"Indeed, Prokhorov, who was on the top of the Bear Country's wealth list in 2009, is also very interested in the Nets and is also our biggest competitor. However, boss, you are not without advantages, that is your background, No matter how you say it, he is from the Xiong Kingdom.”

Hearing what his subordinates said, Arthur couldn't help shaking his head and laughing. As he said before, not everyone can become an NBA boss in the United States. It's not just about money. The nba needs to review the qualifications of the team buyers. If the review fails, no matter how rich they are, it will be useless.

It may not be so easy for the richest man in Xiongguo with a complicated background to gain the trust of American society. Even if the other party crushes him with financial advantages, he can use public opinion to mix up the transaction.

Moreover, many nba bosses may not welcome the local tyrants of the Xiong Kingdom to join the league. After all, the local tyrants of the Xiong Country play sports in such a simple and rude way. I believe they will also be very worried that the arrival of Prokhorov will break the economic balance of the league. Bar?

With these thoughts, Arthur couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and said: "Then cancel it as soon as possible. As long as the other party is not a lion, sign an agreement with them immediately to prevent more accidents and variables!"
