Chapter 331: Jordan wants to buy the team

On the second day of the celebration, at 9 o'clock in the morning, Ringo Wells replaced Ben Wallace and announced his entry into the free market.

At the same time, on behalf of Hu Weidong, he announced that he would jump out of the contract and become a restricted free person, testing the waters of the free market.

Hu Weidong's contract with the Knicks is 2+1, and the final year is a player option.

For other teams, although the trading window has not yet opened, many players have announced their entry into the free market.

Such as the glove Gary Payton, the postman Karl Malone, this is the biggest star among them.

In addition, many of those players in 1996 became restricted free agents.

For example, Kobe, the 3+1 contract, the last year is the player option, this year he can choose to enter the free market.

Of course, Kobe hasn't announced it yet, because the Lakers are negotiating with him to renew his contract.

There are also Iverson, Camby, Marbury, etc., who are all restricted free agents, but have not announced their entry into the free market. They are all negotiating contracts with the team. If the contracts are not agreed, then they must enter freedom. The market is out.

In 1996, these stars were sought after by the market. Even if Iverson and Kobe did not announce their entry into the free market, their agents received many calls from the teams. Of course, the trading window has not been opened yet, and all this is done in secret.

At the same time, the names of many players appeared on the Knicks shelves. Billups, Charlie Ward, Wang Zhizhi, Rick Bronson, a total of four people, plus Hu Weidong and Ben Wallace, six people are leaving the team.

At the same time, Larry Johnson announced his retirement, plus him, it is seven people.

The aunt’s career has only been eight years, two years less than the previous life. This is because he has made a lot of money with Zhao Dong. He is now a billionaire and does not want to play with a basic salary of several hundred thousand.

Nearly half of the players were on the shelves, and the Knicks, who had just completed the dynasty defending their title, became a player's supermarket, and the management immediately received a large number of price inquiries.

Ben Wallace showed strong defensive energy in the Knicks. Although his chances in the playoffs were reduced, he still became a goal pursued by many teams.

These teams, including championship teams such as the Lakers and Spurs, because they need an iron-blooded defensive expert like Ben Wallace to withstand the terrifying impact of Zhao Dong.

Ben Wallace is a free agent, so Ringer Wells immediately received a lot of calls, all of which were directly out of the contract.

He rushed to Ben Wallace's home early in the morning, told him the relevant news, and discussed the market to go to.

"Ben, the Spurs gave 35 million dollars in five years, the Lakers gave 32 million dollars in four years, the Heat gave 31 million dollars in five years, and the Pistons gave 22 million dollars in four years. You Where do you want to go?"

Ben Wallace's head was dizzy, and he started to plan who would pay the highest price, but he didn't understand.

Ringer Wells hurriedly said: "The Lakers have the highest salary, with an average annual salary of 8 million US dollars. The last year is the team option. I suggest you go to the Lakers or the Heat, which are both big ball markets. The Spurs are too small, you Looking at the ticket price of this finals, there is not even one-tenth of the Knicks, and the players rely on the ticket revenue for the playoffs."

"Then go to the Lakers."

Big Ben nodded again and again. In this playoffs, he got millions of dollars in the Knicks, which is higher than his salary in the past three years.

He blocked the Heat, because the Lakers are bigger and stronger, he can play more playoffs, and then get more money, the Heat may be a round trip, there is no money.

"Ok, I'll notify the Lakers right away, you wait to sign the big contract." Ringer Wells laughed.

Los Angeles, Lakers headquarters, Jerry West quickly received a call from Wells, telling him that he was ready to sign.

West is very happy. Although Wallace is playing in the fifth position and conflicts with O'Neal, he is small and takes up limited space. In many cases, O'Neal is two meters away from the basket. Hand, Big Ben can just fill the space under the basket, protecting the basket and grabbing rebounds are more secure.

With the addition of Ben Wallace, he made up for the Lakers’ weakness in the inside line. O’Neal’s main attack, the main defense, one offense and one defense, the Lakers’ inside combination will reach the league’s top level, and the Lakers will also become a true total player. Championship-level team.

Of course, what he wants most is that he didn't get the postman Karl Malone last time. This time the postman is already a free agent. You can join which team you want to join. There is no obstacle at all.

He has contacted Philly, the postman's agent, and sent him a two-year $21 million contract, which is still under consideration.

The Lakers are now negotiating a contract with Kobe, he is preparing a 7-year 70 million super contract, I believe Kobe will be satisfied.

Therefore, the Lakers not only have no salary space, but also the luxury tax that needs to be paid is very high. The contract for the postman is the largest contract he can afford after discussing with his boss, Bass.

So, now he is actually waiting for a reply from the postman. If the postman joins the Lakers, Ben Wallace will give up.

In addition, he also fell in love with Billups and has already asked the Knicks for the price.

He wanted to replace Billups with Fisher and two role players, but was rejected by the Knicks, so he had to find another way.

Ringo Wells settled on Daben's side, and he began to deal with Dazhi and Hu Weidong again.

Both of them still have contracts. They have only played for a year, and Hu Weidong has only played two. So all he can do is contact the team they want to go to and fight for some initiative. .

This point he can still affect the Knicks management, because Zhao Dong is also his player, the management can not fail to give him some face.

Thanks to Zhao Dong, he is now a top agent in the league, and he still has face.

At 11 o'clock that morning, Zhao Dongzheng was going to the Storm Fund headquarters to have lunch with Lindsay, and received a call from Jordan.

"Hey, Mr. Jordan, are you looking for me?" Zhao Dong smiled.

"Well, Feilong, stop playing. I have been waiting for you for a few days. You promised me that you didn't forget? Now you have time to talk to me, right?"

Jordan was helpless and authentic.

"Ok, then talk about how you become the boss." Zhao Dong smiled.

"I will arrange a place right away, and you will wait for my call." Jordan immediately said excitedly.

"OK." Zhao Dong said.

In the hotel room, after hung up the phone, Jordan said to the agent David Falke next to him: "David, he agreed, immediately arrange a place, a better place."

"Ok."

David Falk was also very happy and suggested: "It happens that I have a good relationship with the owner of the Heat, Mr. Mitch Allison. We can ask him to borrow a yacht. What do you think, Michael?"

"Of course it's good." Jordan smiled.

Mitch Allison is a well-known billionaire. The family runs the world's largest listed carnival cruise company. The company has a market value of tens of billions of dollars, personal wealth is as high as billions of dollars, and family wealth is even more numerous.

After Jordan agreed, David Falke immediately contacted Mitch Allison.

The headquarters of Carnival Cruise Line is in New York, and Allison stays in New York all year round. After receiving a call from Falk, he heard that Jordan was hosting Zhao Dong and immediately agreed.

Jordan then got through Zhao Dong's phone.

"Feilong, I have arranged a nice place to guarantee the best enjoyment..."

"yacht?"

Zhao Dong was already on his way to Wall Street and was startled when he heard the words.

"Yes, I'll give you the address. This is the private dock of the Allison family." Jordan said.

"Ok."

"By the way, Feilong, Mr. Allison said he was in charge of this gathering and asked if he could invite Mrs. Lindsay to attend?" Jordan said suddenly.

"I'm almost at the headquarters of the Storm Fund. Let me ask you a question before letting you know." Zhao Dongdao.

"Ok."

Jordan hung up the phone, nodded to David Falk, and the two immediately left the room.

"By the way, David, Mr. Allison helped us arrange this gathering and wants to see Mrs. Lindsay. What is his idea?"

After entering the elevator, Jordan asked.

David Falk said: "I have been following the Wall Street Journal. During this period of time, there have been news that the Storm Fund is bearish on the outlook. This is the exact opposite of Wall Street’s bullish outlook. Recently, Wall Street has also been bearish on the Storm Fund. Indeed, there have been tens of billions of redemptions in a short period of time, and the situation is a bit bad for the Storm Fund."

Jordan said in surprise: "You mean that the storm may have problems? Will it affect Nike?"

David Falk shook his head and said: "The storm controls hundreds of billions of market value, and the redemption volume of tens of billions is not that big. As long as the redemption speed can be controlled, the impact will not be great. After all, the return rate of the storm is much higher. In the broader market, it is also higher than other investment funds and investment banks."

"Then Mr. Allison is looking for Mrs. Lindsay to invest in the storm?" Jordan asked.

When the first floor arrived, the two of them left the elevator and came to the entrance of the hotel. The car that had been called was already parked there. After the driver put his luggage, he drove away.

In the car, David Falk continued the topic just now, saying: "I can't guess what Mr. Allison means specifically, but the Storm Fund is a top investment fund on Wall Street. He wants to meet Mrs. Lindsay, a financial tycoon. , It’s not surprising, who doesn’t want to get on the line with the storm? I think too."

He turned to say: "So Michael, this meeting with Flying Dragon needs to be serious. This is a very good opportunity."

"Of course." Jordan nodded.

At this time, Zhao Dong has arrived at the headquarters of the Wall Street Storm Fund in Manhattan.

"Hi boss."

"Hello."

Upon entering the headquarters, those who saw him immediately greeted him.

"Avel, Jordan asked me to talk about things. He borrowed a yacht from the Heat owner Alisson, the owner of Carnival Cruise Line. Mitch Allison wants to see you, do you want to go?"

When he came to Lindsay's office, Zhao Dong asked.

"now?"

"Yes, they are preparing lunch, and then they will go to sea, we can fish." Zhao Dong smiled.

"Okay, I'll accompany you." Lindsay smiled.

"Why don't we buy a private yacht?" Zhao Dong said suddenly.

Lindsay was very interested when he heard it, and immediately had a lot of ideas in his mind. He happily said: "Buy another small island and build our private world. We can build an airport and a dock on the island, as well as gardens and gardens. Playground..."

Zhao Dong laughed and said, "It's up to you."

At one point, the two and a dozen bodyguards arrived at the private dock of the Alisson family.

A very luxurious and very large private yacht docked at the pier. The yacht was more than a hundred meters long and was very conspicuous.

Some people are waiting at the dock, Jordan and David Falke, and Heat boss Mitch Allison are among them.

"Welcome to Mrs. Lindsay and Mr. Zhao Dong..."

Zhao Dong and Lindsay got off the car, Alisson and others immediately greeted them, Mickey Allison said very politely.

"Excuse me, Mr. Allison." Zhao Dong said politely.

Lindsay nodded slightly in response.

After an exchange of greetings or two, Allison led the crowd on board.

Before boarding the boat, Zhao Dong stopped to look at the yacht.

When Alisson saw Zhao Dong's interest, he was also very happy, and immediately stopped to introduce the information of this yacht.

"It is called the Rolls. It was built in 1991 and took 30 months to complete. It is 125 meters long, has five decks, weighs more than 11 thousand tons, except for 120 crew members and 30 bar services. In addition to the staff, it can accommodate fifty guests. There is a 20-meter*12-meter swimming pool above it, as well as a cinema, sauna, massage room, dance hall, game room, etc., as well as a helicopter pad..."

"How much is it worth? What class does it belong to in the world?" Zhao Dong asked.

"75 million U.S. dollars is a world-class private yacht, and there is still a certain gap from the top private yacht." Allison laughed.

"Wow, this is already worth a small NBA team." Jordan said in surprise.

Zhao Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Dawlan bought the Knicks two years ago, and there is no such price."

"Now that the Knicks has completed the dynasty, coupled with the current high asset prices, its market value has reached at least 400 million U.S. dollars, and James has doubled his profit, six or seven times the profit."

Allison admires authenticity.

Jordan said: "Flying dragon, you made a lot of New York jets, right?"

"Following the upward trend of US stocks, the market value has risen several times." Zhao Dong said indifferently.

Jordan smacked his lips, and the more eagerly he wanted to be the big boss of a team.

"Mr. Allison, how much is the top private yacht worth?" Zhao Dong asked again.

"That's not good. The average top private yachts are more than 150 meters, at least six decks, at least 100 million U.S. dollars, and the best two to 300 million U.S. dollars are possible." Allison said.

"Two to three billion dollars?"

Zhao Dong nodded, he directly ignored the price of 100 million US dollars.

"Feilong, do you want to buy a yacht? It's a good idea. Having a top-notch private yacht can completely travel the world."

Allison laughed.

"That's what I thought." Zhao Dong smiled.

"I think so too, but unfortunately I have no money." Jordan secretly said beside him.

A few people got on the yacht, took a tour first, then sat down on the fourth deck, and the waiter in the bar began to prepare lunch.

After a while, lunch was ready, and everyone began to eat.

After the dinner, the waiter served desserts and drinks after the meal.

Jordan didn't want to eat anymore, and asked anxiously: "Feilong, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Dong thought for a while and said: "Last year Paul Allen bought the Blazers for $70 million, and he also made a profit."

"The Blazers want to sell?" Jordan lifted his spirits.

Zhao Dong shook his head and smiled: "You think too much, how rich people are, the owner of Microsoft, with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, he just bought the nfl Seattle Seahawks, how could he sell the Blazers?"

"Paul is much richer than I am." Allison laughed.

"Flying dragon, who has the money, you or Paul Allen?" Jordan asked curiously.

Zhao Dong smiled and did not answer this question.

His personal assets are mainly the domestic giant dragon investment company and flying dragon sports company, as well as 45% of the shares of the storm fund, but the majority is the tens of billions of investment income of the individual in the storm fund and the income of the storm fund.

The income of the Storm Fund includes subscription fees, profit sharing, etc.

The storm has earned nearly 200 billion U.S. dollars for customers in the past two years. The 25% profit score alone has reached nearly 50 billion U.S. dollars. Together with other income, it has reached more than 60 billion U.S. dollars. Zhao Dong and Lindsay own 60% of the equity. More than 30 billion can be allocated from this sum of money.

However, the investment funds of the Storm Fund entered the United States in other ways and were not counted under his name. The same is true for Lindsay. The shares of the Storm Fund are not directly recorded in the names of the two of them, through various methods. Indirectly held, so on the surface, the money has nothing to do with them. He and Lindsay's assets are not very large.

Baijulong Investment and Feilong Sports are both non-listed companies. The media and Forbes can't find out how many assets they have.

According to the data released by Forbes last year, his assets were 3.5 billion U.S. dollars and Lindsay was 1.8 billion U.S. dollars, neither of which was notable on the list of the world's richest people, and did not enter the top 50.

Of course, this year is definitely different, because Feilong Sports indirectly holds the shares of Nike. Even if Feilong Sports does not release the statement, the outside world will value it very high, and the net worth of him and Lindsay will also skyrocket.

Jordan saw that Zhao Dong didn't answer, and he wittily stopped asking, "Then which teams are selling now?"

Zhao Dongdao: "The first team is the Dallas Mavericks. The second team is the Cleveland Cavaliers. The third team is the Denver Nuggets. The fourth team is the Boston Celtics. The big bosses of these teams want to sell. The team, we learned from the relevant investment bank ~www.readwn.com~ In addition, some teams are willing to sell part of the shares, some are major shareholders to sell part of the shares, and some are small owners who sell shares, such as Wizards and Jazz. "

Jordan immediately said: "Feilong, I want to be a big boss, you said you want to help me."

Zhao Dong smiled, looked at Jordan who was looking forward to it, and asked: "How much can you spend now?"

"50 million U.S. dollars, that's all I have." Jordan said.

"The money was able to buy the Knicks two or three years ago, but now it's not enough to buy a small team." Zhao Dongdao.

"Flying dragon, I can use my share in the mj brand as a collateral in Nike, what do you think?" Jordan said, looking at Lindsay's side.

But Lindsay ignored their conversation, sitting under the umbrella, facing them with his back to enjoy the sea view, while drinking a drink.
