I'm a big shot in basketball

Not long after Stern's statement was issued,

The league office urgently announced the voting results of the council meeting through the live broadcast of ESPN and TNT, saying that they unanimously supported the expulsion of Cohan 28-0, emphasizing that the league does not allow any match-fixing behavior. Worried about dragging down the reputation of the league, wanting to deal with it slowly is not to do nothing.

The entire process of voting for expulsion is also in full compliance with the league's constitution, federal laws and local laws. It will temporarily freeze Warriors-related transactions and personnel appointments, giving Chris Cohan up to three months to decide to sell to individuals or companies.

Cohan speculated that there might be no substantive evidence, and immediately held a press conference to express his dissatisfaction, thinking that Stern and Su Yang jointly framed and deceived other council members. As a result, before the press conference was over, he was forced to step off the stage by the secret technique to watch video.

Seeing that the video of him asking Su Yang to play match-fixing was clearly recorded, Cohan sat on the chair panting on the spot, knowing that the league gave him dignity and did not release the video, but he never expected that Su Yang actually had video and audio recordings, not with Si Tenn jointly deceived other council members, knowing that no council member can help him, so he can only find a way to delay and seek a settlement.

Unexpectedly, the secretary also brought him Stern's advice. If he didn't take the money and leave in time, he would bear the class action initiated by the league and ask him to compensate for the loss of reputation caused by the league, as well as the withdrawal of various sponsors and broadcasters. Loss.

Anyway, the alliance has time to spend with him.

Cohan still refused to accept,

Who would have thought that the secretary said that the entire team had turned to Su Yang, including his specially appointed assistant Chris Mullin. Two former bosses appeared at the rally, and it was Mullin who contacted him personally. Maybe he will come to the base tomorrow. You will be stopped by security.

Cohan was still dissatisfied, insisting that the U.S. Constitution would protect the private property of the warriors, and he would go to the Supreme Court to file a lawsuit.

The secretary silently took out the investigation order issued by the US tax bureau, indicating that he would be prosecuted for tax evasion and fined accordingly.

Cohan was completely misfired. He understood that if he didn’t take the money and leave, he would be attacked by powerful enemies from all sides. If he let go of the bidding, he might be able to earn more. He immediately returned to the press conference and announced that he would accept the punishment result of the alliance. We welcome all rich men and financial groups to call to inquire about the price .

The press conference aired on ESPN and TNT,

Oracle owner Larry Ellison, who is worth more than US$150 billion, immediately announced his participation in the bid and promised to hire Su Yang, the president of basketball affairs of the tenacious team. The super decentralization allowed Su Yang to continue to build the Warriors dynasty and bring a ten-year feast to the fans in the Bay Area .

Microsoft President Ballmer also announced that he would join the bidding, and also announced that he would reuse Su Yang, but he did nothing else.

Dan Gilbert, president of Quicken Loans Group, also announced the bid for the Warriors, promising to bring Warriors fans a new viewing experience.

Large and small, a total of 13 entities announced their bids.

Obviously all of them are looking at the Chinese market behind Yao Ming + the defending lineup that will maintain extremely strong combat effectiveness in the next four years.

Simultaneously, Su Yang received calls from many people who wanted to participate in the voting.

Before Yang and Huang were not optimistic about the expulsion of Cohan, they were also worried about the low return on investment, and they didn’t understand much, but the expulsion of the NBA has already happened, so investing in a legendary Chinese coach who has close training with China can basically make a profit without losing money. Just vote.

Subconsciously, Su Yang didn't want the money from the two of them, but in the face of 13 bidders, he felt uneasy if he didn't make more money, and he was an enemy of Cohan from a certain angle. If he wanted Cohan to sell him, he had to give it to him. A hard-to-refuse price for Cohan.

Instead, they met with Yang and Huang, and each took [-] million US dollars. By the way, they proposed that they need to sign a repurchase clause. Yang and Huang obviously thought that it would be difficult to earn money for repurchase in a short period of time, so they agreed to the repurchase clause without hesitation. Take advantage of the trend to talk about how to operate and develop.

Then I met with a dozen or so small rich people from Hualian, and got together 5000 million US dollars, plus Beyoncé's 5000 million US dollars, a total of [-] million US dollars, and met with Delfina and her president's father, and got [-] million US dollars Funds totaled [-] million.

Also all signed buy-back clauses.

Considering Larison's financial resources, [-] million is considered a relatively safe figure, and if it is more than that, additional fundraising will be required.

作为参考，小牛00年1月出售的价格是2.85亿美元，掘金00年4月出售的价格是4.5亿美元，凯尔特人02年9月出售的价格是3.6亿美元，尼克斯97年出售11亿。

Obviously, the size of the ball market is an important factor in the price. Oakland and the Bay Area are also small ball markets. The price increase depends on the Chinese market behind Yao Ming. How much can be realized becomes an important consideration in bidding. Different owners will vary greatly. big.

Stern revealed that the estimate within the league is 2.08 million.

After writing the terms and conditions, Su Yang invited Beyoncé, Delfina, Yang Huang, and Hualian representatives to hold a press conference and officially announced that he would participate in the bidding for the Warriors. After becoming the boss, he will also serve as the president of basketball affairs and head coach.

"All Warriors fans please support me,

I will bring out the eight-time dominance of the Chicago Bulls in the 90s, the viewing and entertainment of the Lakers SHOWTIME in the 80s, and the warmth of the Blazers and the Celtics from the team I personally formed. The thick and heavy, bringing out the big names in New York, I will make the Warriors the representative of the entire Bay Area in the world, and the inheritance will connect the three generations!

I also ask fans of other teams to support me,

Through the Warriors, I will lead the viewing feast of the league's games, including upgrading the league's tactics through coaches' sharing, soaring the average player's strength through more scientific training and analysis, and improving the viewing experience by reducing timeouts. Broadcasters and sponsors are better off, keep your kids safe from bad influence with dress codes etc...

I also ask the members of the Council to support me,

You know, I'll double your income. "

After the speech was over, there was thunderous applause.

Immediately after answering various questions, I was busy for an hour, explaining various plans for the future, and finally welcome all stars to join the bidding. You can become a small team owner without too much money, and be active as the spokesperson of the team. public eye.

I didn't really want to get many celebrities to join the bidding, but mainly to make news hotspots and expand the scope of dissemination.

Various discussions then exploded.

Many other bidding consortiums, other team owners, media and fans did not expect that Su Yang would take the lead in forming a consortium to bid. The key lies in his life-and-death relationship with Cohan. How could Cohan choose to sell the team to What about him?

Commentators from all walks of life pointed out a fact: In terms of the new boss of the Warriors alone, no one is more suitable than Su Yang.

Well-known commentator A? Smith said: "Although I used to criticize Su Yang's various operations in the past, he is the most perfect Warriors newcomer in my heart based on his achievements in the last one and a half seasons and his execution ability. boss,

I really appreciate that he was able to withstand the pressure of Chris Cohan to call for a match-fixing game, and when the team suffered a backstab from the owner and a transaction crisis, he turned the tide and won the third finals victory, and ended the entire series in the fourth game game. "

Busy until eight o'clock in the evening, Su Yang called and invited Cohan to meet at the training base to discuss the sale of the team privately.

The first step to prove that I have no sexual harassment and the second step to get the league to expel Cohan have been completed. Only the third step is to let Cohan sell the team to himself. It may be the hardest step, but it may also be the easiest step. Fortunately, Cohan is more concerned about money than face.

In other words, Cohan never takes face.

A guy who can sue his best man for a shitty thing doesn't give a shit about social image.

Cohan didn't show any anger on the phone, and arrived on time.

The two entered the office, and started talking with Sean and Mullin with smiles across the glass wall.

"Why should I sell the team to you?"

"I'll make an offer you can't refuse."

"How many?"

"A billion dollars."

After the words fell, Su Yang was keenly aware of Cohan's ecstasy, and immediately added: "I don't engage in options or shares, and I will give you all the cash directly." It is almost three times the investment of Cohan's holding Warriors back then. income.

Cohan suppressed his ecstasy, curled his lips pretending to be disdainful, and said, "Ellison directly offered 5 million US dollars, and promised that no matter how much you pay, he will pay 1000 million more than you. How can you argue with him? He has More than $100 billion."

Bravado spread in the air. Su Yang, as someone who has experienced it, knows that according to the historical trajectory, Ellison did not bid 10 million US dollars even if he bid for the Warriors in 5 years. Two different things.

"I don't believe that Ellison bid 5 million U.S. dollars. My 4.5 million U.S. dollars must be the highest bid among the [-] subjects. The consumption level of Oakland fans is limited. Not all of them can be converted into profits in the Chinese market. This is my very sincere offer. .”

Cohan was silent for a moment, "You planned the recording?"

Su Yang shook his head:

"No, at that time I was going to record birthday wishes for others, and you just broke into the office and followed the trend, but I prepared the recording later, I think as a successful person, you don't have to feel frustrated or lose face at all,

You left with $4.5 million in cash, which is a super high-return investment. If you move to other fields, you have the opportunity to reach even higher levels. I will provide you with opportunities in disguise. Otherwise, you know, with your operating style, sooner or later the Warriors will return. to the mire.

Admitting mistakes is a huge improvement. You can't use the team to run the successful experience in the field of cable TV.

While you are still young, go to new heights again. "

Cohan was silent again for a moment, "I want to enter the network TV field, what do you think?" After saying that, he regretted it. Doesn't this mean that Su Yang is right?How could he be influenced by Su Yang invisibly, exposing 4.5 million US dollars far beyond his expectations.

"No play!"

Su Yang shook his head resolutely, "You can go to see my speech in Berkeley, California. The next ten years will be the era of web2.0. The focus of entrepreneurship is in the C2C field, and your online TV is in the B2C field. You need to undertake a lot of production of TV programs or purchase TV The cost of the program, the risk is very high, and you can't compete with the network of comprehensive TV stations such as ABC,

What's more, it can't do the online competition of MTV and other music vertical subdivision TV channels. If you rush in, you will pay for nothing.

I suggest that you start a commodity trading platform, and build a field that Amazon has not deeply cultivated. There are several websites with the same template, optimized according to different commodities, and sold to Amazon after they become bigger, such as exclusive online shopping for cosmetics, such as exclusive online shopping for games. "

Cohan was stunned when he heard that. He didn't expect that the first time he had a normal chat with Su Yang, he was full of commercial dry goods, analyzed why he was not suitable for network TV, and even provided himself with business directions. He thought he wanted to kill himself before.

Seeing that Cohan listened to it, Su Yang thought that I must f*ckingly fool you to prevent you from jumping the wall and selling the team to Ellison. Then I have been working in vain for half a month. If I want to have a suitable opportunity to buy the team, I will Wait until 06 for the Sonics.

"I don't have a deep hatred with you. If you hadn't been in a hurry to drive me away this time, things wouldn't have come to this point. Anyway, think about it carefully. We can discuss any business problems you have in the future. Basketball It's not all about me,

I will also start a business soon. "

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to do instant messaging, which is a light, full and fast version of an AOL type of blog..."

Outside the glass wall, Sean and Mullin were very nervous. They were worried that Su Yang would beat up Cohan in a fit of rage. They never expected that the two chatted more happily. They thought they were close business partners, as if no frame-up had ever happened. and forced away things.

In the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed,

Cohan opened the door and walked out of the office. He smiled at the curious crowd who had been waiting for a long time and said, "After careful consideration, I have decided to own all the shares of the Golden State Warriors and sell them to Mr. Su Yang on the basis of sincerity and friendship... "

Hearing Cohan's words, Sean, Mu Lin and others were not ecstatic according to Su Yang's prior instructions, and avoided provoking Cohan.

It's best to wait for the signing to end when all the celebrations are over.

Su Yang followed closely and took the lead to signal, "Everyone can work normally, and Cohan and I have some business matters to discuss in detail..." Instead, we had a simple meal in the restaurant of the base, and talked in detail about the vertical subdivision of products Repetitive requirements are particularly high.

Early the next morning, Su Yang and Cohan held a press conference together, announcing that the team would be handed over.

All the reporters present were dumbfounded.

The transaction application is sent to the alliance and submitted for qualification review at the same time. Stern emphasized that the council will process it as quickly as possible.

Su Yang started the construction of the new arena at the same time, trying to use the remaining 1.5 million US dollars to move to the main urban area as soon as possible.
