Chapter 558 Mavericks
From college to working, Yang Dongsheng liked basketball for a while. Later, he was too busy with work and his physical strength didn't allow him, so Yang Dongsheng stopped playing.

Later, when he heard that the new NBA president played more and more fake basketball games, and there was a tendency to move closer to wrestling entertainment shows, Yang Dongsheng was even less interested in watching them.

However, Yang Dongsheng is still very familiar with the NBA for about ten years around 2000.

Investing in NBA teams is a good choice.

First of all, the rate of return is good. Yang Dongsheng has seen a list of "Forbes" in his previous life. Among the [-] most expensive teams in the world, ten NBA teams are on the list, and each team is worth billions of dollars. .

As the obesity rate is getting higher and higher, people are envious of those sports stars' fit bodies and super high incomes from the bottom of their hearts, and the number of people watching sports events is also increasing.

Secondly, sports is also a means for the United States to export culture to foreign countries.

Many people watch American sports games and listen to stories about sports stars... and they are fooled. Otherwise, do you really think that someone will get up to practice at four o'clock in the morning?
Sports stars and teams have a very high status in the United States. With the Mavericks, it will be of great help to Alice's rapid development in Texas and even the United States.

In fact, the vast majority of NBA owners regard the team as a sideline business, using their sports fame to open the way for other industries.

The few real estate bosses in our country who play football are doing the same thing.

It's just that Yang Dongsheng thought about it, but he really didn't think of any NBA team to sell this year.

Yang Dongsheng smiled, "I remember that God of Destiny likes to arrange the fate of these cultural and sports stars very much. I still remember many teams and stars!"

"So have you ever heard of the Dallas Mavericks?"

"The Mavericks..." Yang Dongsheng almost asked, isn't the Mavericks owned by Cuban, the high-profile owner?

In the original history, on January 2000, 1, Mark Cuban bought the Mavericks for $5 million and has since become the most high-profile owner in the NBA.

In fact, many reports did not say that the premise that Cuban can do this is that Yahoo has acquired Cuban’s video broadcasting website at a price of 60 billion U.S. dollars. , which completely ignited the conflict between the management and shareholders, talking about Cuban's company.

In this life, the deal was messed up by Alice, and Cuban had no money to buy the Mavericks.

Although the Mavericks are not as good as the Knicks and Lakers, they are also a good choice.

The Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area where Dallas is located has the seventh largest population in the United States, surpassing Houston, the largest city in Texas, and second only to Boston.

Moreover, Dallas has a large proportion of emerging industries. With the decline of old industrial areas in the United States in recent years, the number of rich people in Dallas has actually surpassed that of Boston. This is particularly important.

Why are the Knicks and Lakers valuable?A box in the arena is cheap for hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and expensive for millions of dollars a year.

There are also front-row seat tickets. The most expensive one is tens of thousands of dollars, which is more than a thousand ordinary tickets.

Where can the ordinary working class afford it?
"What's their asking price?" Yang Dongsheng asked.

"Two hundred million dollars, but the price should be lower!"

In his previous life, Cuban bought the Mavericks at a price of 2.85 million U.S. dollars. One was because the Internet bubble had not yet burst, and the market was flooded with hot money;

The second is that Cuban's money comes too easily. A broken website with no technology has sold 60 billion US dollars after it was established only three years ago. He often suffers from convulsions, and the incompleteness is the price he raised on his own initiative.

But his grasp of the overall situation is very accurate.

James Whistler naturally didn't know this. The basis for his judgment was that the Spurs only sold for $1993 million in 7500.

If San Antonio is too small for an analogy, the same year Leslie Alexander bought the Rockets for $8500 million, the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area and the Houston metro area are very similar in population size.

At that time, the Rockets also had superstar Olajuwon, who won the championship in the second year.

Although the Mavericks now have Nowitzki, Nash, and Finley, Nowitzki has only been in the NBA for two years at this time, and Nash had less than 5 assists and less than 10 points per game last season.

The Mavericks have only one star player, Finley, and their strength is simply incomparable with the Rockets back then.

There is indeed something to talk about.

When Whistler came to Hong Kong, he also wanted to meet those Hong Kong businessmen.

Yang Dongsheng discussed with Yang Huai and began to recruit people in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia.

Now that he has enough funds in his hands, taking advantage of the bursting of the Internet bubble, many projects that were originally shelved can now be put on the agenda.

After arranging everything, Yang Dongsheng returned to Shanghai from Hong Kong.

Director Li of the office went to the airport to pick up Yang Dongsheng, and as soon as he got in the car, he began to report to work.

The first batch of servers developed by themselves has been put into use, and the effect is not bad.

In the end, Director Jiang did not recruit Zhang Daniu, and the semiconductor foundry project settled in Hong Kong.

……

When the car drove into the community, there was a lot of vitality everywhere, and all kinds of small flowers grew around the house.

The mother cat gave birth to another litter of kittens, and the little fur balls were full of curiosity about the outside world, burrowing around in the flowers, and Yang Yue was excited to catch the cats everywhere.

"My little ancestor, be careful not to fall!" Zhou Ying turned around and saw Yang Dongsheng getting off the car, "You are finally back!"

"When did Richu leave?"

"last week!"

Zhou Ying still didn't stop Yang Richu from going to Europe to study at Liberty University. Although Yang Richu looks weak, he has a stubborn temper.

"Go if you want, he is such an adult, we can't make decisions for him!"

Yang Dongsheng came to the study and called the staff stationed in Europe to ask them to take good care of Yang Richu. At the same time, he called the staff stationed in the United States to ask them to start poaching people.

After dinner, Yang Yue sneaked up and wanted to leave while no one else was paying attention.

"Stop!" Zhou Ying shouted.

Before Zhou Ying could speak, Yang Yue pointed at her mother and shouted, "You rascal, female rascal!"

Zhou Ying was furious when she heard that, "Please tell me clearly, why am I a rogue?"

"Bathe me every day!"

"It's a hooligan to bathe you? If you can wash it yourself, do you want me to wash it for you?" Zhou Ying grabbed Yang Yue's ear and gritted her teeth, wishing to unscrew it.

While arguing, Yuan Rui suddenly stumbled in, "Dongsheng, Xiaoying, it's not good, Yang Lin's grandma was arrested by the police station!"
