Indulge in Life in America

"The two bosses, besides Kobe Bryant, the most inspiring star in the league is James. Under them there are Durant, Paul, Anthony and so on."

Sean Marx switched the photos of several stars and pointed to the screen to continue, “Kobe and James don’t have to think about it. Kobe hasn’t left the Lakers for a few years after retiring; James just signed the new contract, and we took it again. There is no equivalent bargaining chip."

Konrad Koch pointed to Paul's picture, "Where is Chris Paul? I like his style of play."

Sean Marx hurriedly laughed and said, "That’s exactly what I’m going to say. Paul is currently in the Los Angeles Clippers. The team’s morale is high because of just a change of bosses, but Clippers coach Dou Grievous has never liked Paul. , In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he thinks Paul is blocking the ascent of his son Rivers, so in theory, we have a deal with the Clippers to do. We use Deron Williams to add an edge. Players, you can match Paul’s salary."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Yang Cheng asked puzzledly. Now that it's up to this point, he should act quickly. There is less than a week before the deadline.

Sean Marx smiled bitterly, "The problem is Mr. Ballmer, the new owner of the Clippers. He is very ambitious and points to the O'Brien Cup. Any fool can see that the loss of Paul by the Clippers is equivalent to giving up. I worry about him. Will intervene personally."

Yang Cheng nodded her head clearly, "You go ahead and let the matter about Paul go."

"Good boss, next is Durant. He is a very purposeful player. For the championship, there is nothing he can't do, and he is currently in the Thunder. The battle for the ball with Westbrook makes him It is very worrying. Our judgment is that he is not inconsistent with going to other teams or even competing with other stars.

but not now!

The Thunder this season has a very good momentum and there is hope to go further, so don’t expect to get him in the middle of the season. We can bet on the summer when he will definitely choose to break out of his contract and become a free agent. One is to test the market. Depending on his own worth, the second is to give himself one more choice. If they fail to win this season and there are other factors that attract him more, he will definitely not mind betraying the Thunder and his good brother. "

Konrad Koch is also a smart man, and he quickly understood what Sean Marx meant. "In other words, there is a prerequisite for us to get him. First of all, he can't win the championship this season; second, the lineup of other teams Now the Thunder is more attractive, or more championship-like, and finally, a top-tier contract will be given.

Only when these three conditions are met at the same time, we have a certain chance to sign him. Am I right? "

Sean Marx smiled admiringly, "Very correct."

Konrad Koch was not happy because of Sean Marx's flattery, and turned to Yang Cheng and said, "It seems that we have to spend a lot of money to get a superstar to have a chance to attract other stars to join Baotuan."

Yang Cheng shrugged, "Obviously, taking the first step in anything is the most difficult. The current team's paper strength is enough, but the depth of the lineup is too poor, and the injuries and injuries of several leading stars Old and old, it's hard to attract the players of the year with the current cards, only exchange."

Turning his head to look at Sean Marx and asked, "Is there not a healthy young star on a weak team in the league now?"

"To be honest, looking at the entire league, you are currently capable of being a team star and have a certain appeal. There are really few young players recruiting other stars to join. Harden of the Rockets is one of them, Lillard of the Trail Blazers. Count one, Pelicans’ Anthony Davis counts one, and Pacers’ season reimbursement Paul George counts half. The remaining stars are either too soft or vulnerable to physical injuries. I really don’t recommend the team to choose."

Sean Marx’s professional level has been recognized by Yang Cheng, but this is of no use. "At this point, it seems that only Chris Paul is the most suitable for us, but will Ballmer agree to let people go?"

Konrad Koch hesitated, "I can try to talk to Ballmer, but I can't put all hope on me. We must first put out the right chips."

Sean Marx hurriedly interjected, "According to what I said, although Deron's current offensive scoring strength has declined, but his assisting ability is still at the top of the league, changing Paul alone may almost mean it, but a strong substitute is added. That's enough. In addition, Deron's tactics are more compatible with the Clippers, but he is not too obsessed with the ball, and can leave little room for improvement. Dougrives will definitely agree. If the coach strongly requests, The team management is generally satisfied, after all, Dougrives has done a good job these years."

"Okay, that's the case. There is one week left to fully conquer Chris Paul. However, the eggs cannot be placed in the same basket. We must also have an alternative. At least if Paul joins, we can also give He is looking for a second master." Yang Cheng directly decided the matter. The superiors were the most taboo and indecisive. How could the people below not find the backbone of their work?

Coming out of the meeting room, Yang Cheng and Konrad Koch withdrew from the staff, and the two wandered around the Barclays Center, mainly to discuss their big plans.

"Jason, the Barclays Center has arrived, and it's time for us to start the plan." Konrad Koch stood in front of the glass curtain wall on the top floor, looking at the green park that had been renamed "Pacific" not far away.

"Well, Yuanshan's preliminary research has ended, and the project is indeed promising, but the problem we are currently facing is such a big cake, I am afraid we can't finish it with the two of us alone." Yang Cheng said with concern.

"The development of real estate projects can never be completed by one family or two independently. I have thought of this a long time ago. In fact, we only divide the supply of raw materials involved, which is enough to calm the dissatisfaction of those people." Conrad Koch seemed indifferent and said lightly, because according to the original agreement between the two, Koch Industries is mainly responsible for the construction of all service facilities for this integrated business life body in the future.

Of course, the supply of raw materials that Yuanshan needed during the construction period was also provided by Koch Industries. Now he has divided this profit generously, and he has to let Yang Cheng look at it differently. When did the wolf turn? Push out all the meat to your lips?

"Don't look at me like Jason. Our project hasn't officially started. There are countless people calling me to seek cooperation. The Koch family dare not offend everyone and use this profit to feed the wolves. In exchange for a large area of ​​our territory, I think the deal is worth it."

Konrad Koch looks very bored, and it seems that he has been getting angry recently.

Yang Cheng didn't comment on this. Anyway, the money should be a lot. As for who to give it to Yuanshan, it makes no difference.

"So, the project plan hasn't changed, right?"

"Well, according to our previous plan, a complex business and living area with a total area of ​​64,500 square meters and a total construction area of ​​600,000 square meters, covering commercial facilities, self-built schools, health centers, and international exhibition venue Barclays Center , About 8 acres of green parks, etc. Of course, leisure facilities such as cafes and children’s play areas will be provided one by one."

Konrad Koch’s introduction was in full swing, and Yang Cheng suddenly raised his hand to interrupt, “I have a new idea about the coffee shop. I want to introduce Starbucks to build the world’s largest flagship store in our project. There is a gimmick. , And it is convenient for future residents to kill two birds with one stone."

"I have no problem, in fact, this is a good idea. You can talk to Starbucks. My relationship with Seattle is not very good." Konrad Koch agreed reluctantly, but he couldn't refuse. Yang Cheng's attention is indeed beneficial, and neither public nor private cannot be opposed.

As for his saying that the relationship with Seattle is not good, this is a bit of surprise to Yang Cheng, but I can think about it again. In the past 20 years, Seattle has relied on high-tech industries to thrive and has gathered the headquarters of top global companies. Koch Industries tried to move its headquarters from Kansas to Seattle, but was boycotted by the local zf and some entrepreneurs because their factories would pollute the environment of Seattle, Blabula. Anyway, they failed to settle in, which caused conflicts. It is not surprising.

"Okay, I'll talk about it, and you'll continue." Yang Cheng responded bluntly, and motioned for Konrad Koch to continue.

“The planned office space is a commercial building with a total area of ​​more than 90,000 square meters ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ retail and restaurants more than 20,000 square meters. It is planned to introduce a super five-star brand hotel, a slightly lower-end boutique hotel, including one A brand new public high school in New York City, a health center, senior activity center, nursery, etc. that cooperate with the elder's home."

Yang Cheng is holding the glass curtain wall with his hands and looking down at Pacific Park. The inside is still empty and there is no one, but he believes that in the near future, this place will definitely become a crowded center second only to Manhattan. , Will be one of the most prosperous landmarks in New York.

"As for the development of the residence, I don’t care. You Yuanshan is solely responsible. In addition, I heard a news that I don’t know whether it is true or not. The New York City Hall has a plan to bid for the new tallest building. You can send someone to inquire about it. It’s not impossible for us to conduct public relations. If this tallest building can be included in our project, what does it mean that I don’t need to say more?"

Yang Orange was startled, "Is the news accurate?"

Konrad Koch pursed his mouth and shook his head, "I also heard that you have to find someone to confirm this, but there is no wind and no waves. Dubai's Burj Khalifa has occupied the world's tallest building for some years, and this top spot should be After sitting in another city, I think it’s not groundless to have such thoughts based on the pissiness of the big masters of the New York City Hall. After all, New York is the world’s largest city, and it should have the world’s tallest building!”
