Legendary Basketball Tycoon

Bruce is watching the league's movements while waiting for the draft.

Because Bruce knew that in 1993 "flying man" Jordan was shot and killed by his own father, and temporarily left the NBA to fulfill his father's dream-baseball.

This incident has been rioted in previous lives, and of course Bruce also knows.

It's just that Bruce doesn't know the specific time when Jordan's father was killed, he only knows that it was after the Chicago Bulls won the championship.

Jordan has a deep affection for his father. You must know that the Chicago Bulls have won three consecutive championships at this time. Jordan can fulfill his father's dream in his most glorious period. At this point, Bruce is very moved.

Although he is still an old hooligan, Bruce really admires his feelings for his father and basketball.

So as early as after the Chicago Bulls won the championship, Bruce sent all the four Chinese bodyguards around him out to protect old Jordan secretly, hoping to save the old man.

Bruce has tried his best, and he can't help but let old Jordan go out.

If the tragedy of the previous life still occurs in the end, Bruce is helpless.

After all, it is impossible for Bruce to go to Jordan's house and tell him that your father is going to be shot recently. You'd better send more bodyguards to protect him.

The old hooligan had to beat him out, so he dared to curse his father and wanted to die.

Let it be fate.

But did not wait for the news of Jordan, but waited for the news that the Rockets owner wanted to sell the team.

This is a big deal, Bruce suddenly remembered. At this point in time, it will not be the "old button" Leslie Alexander who will buy the Rockets.

This is interesting, Bruce decided to fly to Houston himself and spoil the situation.

Alexander, who made a lot of money on Yao Ming in his previous life, has to stay with my New York Hans in this life. I will see if you can make so much?

The current Rockets owner is Charlie Thomas.

In this bidding with Alexander, there was also Tilman Fertitta, who indulged the little fat man and bought the Rockets for 2.2 billion in his previous life.

Now Fertitta doesn't have that much money to buy the Rockets. I heard that this time he brought a partner to buy the Rockets.

Although Fertitta is a native of Houston, he has a deep love for the Rockets. In his previous life, he only lost to Alexander with a price difference of several million and lost the title of the Rockets.

As a result, it will take dozens of times the current price to buy it from Alexander.

Really have money to burn, the brain is caught in the door, don't you know that it will spend hundreds of millions to buy the league to re-establish a new team in Houston?

Or buying teams from other regions and finally transferring to Houston is like spending 2.2 billion to buy a team.

It's stupid, Bruce doesn't bother to be with him.

In the previous life, Alexander used Yao Ming to make money, and Fertitta made money from China and indulged his subordinates to scold the Chinese.

Neither of these guys is a good thing.

Of course, Bruce was meant to disrupt the situation this time.

It's a pity that there is no Chinese boss who likes basketball in this era. Whether it is the Erma from the previous life or Cai Chongxin who bought the Nets, it is still in the entrepreneurial period, so if you have money to buy a basketball team!

So when he came, Bruce thought that the Houston Rockets could not be sold to Alexander this time.

why?

Because of this "old buckle" playing for a few years and seeing that he can't make much money, he will sell the team to Fertitta.

In the end, the Rockets weren't in Fertita's pocket, so is there any difference between selling the team to Fertita now and selling it in later years?

But the price difference of several millions is not so simple that it can be smoothed out.

Bruce walked into Fertitta's restaurant and sat directly on the sofa in the restaurant office looking at Fertitta with a sad face.

"Mr. Fertitta, I heard you want to buy the Houston Rockets, don't you?"

Bruce said straightforwardly as soon as he arrived.

He doesn't like this person very much, so it is better to simply point out that he will return to New York as soon as he gets it done.

"Yes, I do want to buy the Houston Rockets."

Fertitta was in a bad mood during this period. When he heard that Zha Ideal was selling the Rockets, he went to find some partners as soon as he wanted to take down the Houston Rockets. At that time, the shares would be fine, as long as the Rockets were in his hands. That's it!

But I found a lot of friends, some people are not interested at all, and some people don't have the financial resources, which really made him miserable.

When Bruce came to him, he immediately became excited. He thought that he could borrow money from Bruce. Because Bruce already has the New York Hans in the NBA, it is impossible for him to have equity in other teams, and the league will not allow it. He has the equity of two teams, so it will be cheaper for him!

So Fertitta has a good idea, but is naive. Do you think Bruce will come to you for no reason?

Just to lend you money?

Of course not, Bruce is a vampire who specializes in sucking the blood of those of you who he hated in his previous life!

"I made it clear, I can help you get the Houston Rockets for free, but..."

"but what?"

Fertitta said eagerly.

Bruce would be so good and give him the team for free.

The first to be sent to the team by Bruce was Paul Allen of the Seattle SuperSonics.

He is now Bruce's "godfather".

What does Bruce do?

"I will give you a cash check for 100 million dollars. I think this should be enough for you to buy the Rockets!"

It must be enough, but...

"I only need one thing, as long as you agree, the Rockets will be yours."

"what do you want?"

Bruce didn't want to talk so much nonsense with him, but seeing him was extremely unpleasant, he deliberately gave him a few appetites.

Also make you anxious.

"Your 35% undiluted shares of Landry\'sInc (Landry) Catering Group, and if you want to sell the company, I have the first right to buy."

"what did you say?"

"I know that Landry Catering just went on the market this year, and its value is now around 30 million US dollars.

As early as on the plane, Bruce had investigated all of Fertitta's assets clearly.

In the previous life, the catering brand Landry's Inc. has more than 50,000 employees, including Landry's Seafood, BubbaGumpShrimpCo., Morton\'sTheSteakhouse and GoldenNuggetCasinos.

With so many brands, you can go to restaurants everywhere for free after adding them. Bruce is really a fool if he doesn't want it!

If you want the Houston Rockets, Bruce can give it to him, just like giving the Seattle SuperSonics to Paul Allen.

But Bruce is not being taken advantage of. Paul Allen can make Bruce willingly send the team back to him by virtue of his personality charm. What kind of thing is you-Fertita, and why should I send the team to you!

So take your newly-listed Landry Restaurant Group shares in exchange for it.

Although it is not worth buying the Rockets' 100 million for Fertitta, looking to the future, the team can appreciate, and the restaurant group is not the same.

"It's impossible. It's my painstaking effort. I won't give Landry to anyone."

Fertitta said decisively.

"you sure?"

...

"Then I will tell you about my next operation!"

"I will walk out of the restaurant in a while, where shall I go?"

"Go to Houston and find a rich man named Michael Dell. What do you want him for?"

I believe everyone knows who it is from the word Dell.

That's right, it is the Dell computer that came to China after the previous life and the new century. At that time, many people in China bought computers of this brand.

Michael Dell is the founder of this computer brand, who will be less than 30 years old in 1993.

But even in 1993, Dell computers have already begun direct sales across the United States, and it will not be long before they will go to the world.

In 1997, Michael Dell would be the richest man in Texas. It is only 1993.

"I will lobby him to buy the Houston Rockets."

"Impossible, he won't buy the Houston Rockets."

Of course Fertitta knows Michael Dell, whose name is well known in Texas.

"I would recommend him to enter the sports world, expand his network, and use the Rockets as an image brand. Not only will the Rockets appreciate, but his shares in Dell Group will also soar at that time. I believe that with my persuasion, he will definitely be excited. Yes, plus I promised to help Dell computers enter the Chinese market!"

"Well, can you still guarantee that he won't bid for the Rockets now?"

If Dell really joins in, not only he but also Alexander can't compete.

Bruce looked at him with a smirk. Perhaps Fertitta hadn't recognized the form. As early as Bruce walked into this Landry restaurant, it was destined that Bruce had taken charge of all life and death.

"Big deal I don't want the Houston Rockets."

"You're so hard to say, don't worry, then I will definitely suggest that Dell treat the Houston Rockets as a family business and leave it to future generations."

Bruce clapped his hands and mocked him.

Just want to **** him off, it's best for him to go mad.

Because Bruce has long believed that Fertitta has a deep affection for the Rockets, he was a hot honey in his previous life. Even on dates, he talked about the Houston Rockets with others, or he would not be taken advantage of and bought back dozens of times the price.

"Why, why are you doing this?"

Fertitta was violent, pulling up Bruce's collar and shouting at Bruce.

"Mr. Fertitta, please pay attention to your words and deeds. You are a gentleman. You need to know that I am a Chinese now. There are still my files in the Chinese consulate in the United States. If anything happens to me here , You must not be able to eat and walk around. Not only your Rockets will not be able to get it, but also your Landry Restaurant Group will be destroyed."

Bruce calmly photographed Fertitta, who was already on the verge of madness.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here. Either use your Landry Restaurant Group shares in exchange for the Houston Rockets property rights, or I will leave now to find Dell. You can choose one of the two."

Fertita walked slowly back to the office chair and sat down.

Now his hair is extremely messy, as if the gambler had lost all and returned home.

After thinking about it painfully for a long time, he stood up and said to Bruce.

"I agree to exchange 35% of Landry's shares in the Rockets for the property rights of the Rockets, but I also have the priority to buy back shares of Landry's."

"I will ask the general manager of Tianhan Empire to connect with you."

After that, Bruce is leaving, idiot, when did you see the meat being pulled out of Bruce's mouth.

...

In early June 1993, the Rockets changed ownership, and Tilman Filtita successfully purchased it for US$100 million.

Fertitta finally became the owner of the Houston Rockets faster than in her previous life.
