NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 176: Ask Dayao, is your NBA career over?

China.

Magic City.

Yao Mingzheng was limping and using a cane to visit the new generation of Magic City men's basketball team.

Standing next to him was Zhang Mingji, a fat manager, and a bunch of basketball association leaders surrounding him.

It is true that he has been away from the United States for the past month, but after seeing the Knicks' earnings, he also saw his own spare money and wondered if he could contribute to his hometown.

The CBA Magic City Men's Basketball Team invited him to return to China for a visit, and sent out some messages: We trained you and so on, and you should make some contributions.

Because at this time, the Shanghai team that trained him was in trouble. The Shanghai team was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management and wanted to sell the team, but the team still had a lot of debt.

The Magic City Basketball Association attributed this situation to Dayao's departure, which led to the complete collapse of Magic City's youth training system and tactical system. Dayao was a person who missed old friendships. Although he was extremely benevolent to the Magic City team, he even threatened to retire at the time.

, the salary you get in the NBA will also be divided into the Magic Men's Basketball Team.

But this is his hometown team after all.

After joining the Magic City team, Yao gradually started his era. Basically no team in the CBA at that time could compete with the Bayi Men's Basketball Team.

But after Yao grew up, they became qualified to challenge the Bayi team, and Yao also successfully led the Shanghai Men's Basketball Team to win the championship in 2002, and the opponent they defeated was the Bayi Men's Basketball Team.

After yao left the Modu team, the Modu team was completely useless. According to the leader's words:

"We are both big cities, so why are the football markets in New York and Magic City completely different?"

Dayao was embarrassed to say it, and complained in his heart: The overall basketball environment in China is not good. Just look at the current level of competition in the CBA...

But the Magic City team is sitting on nothing and has not changed at all. How can they make money, even if they renovate the arena? It can be said that whoever takes over the Shanghai team at this time will be the "successor".

Dayao ignored the previous suspicion and wanted to take action, but the price was really scary.

With an annual loss of 15 million RMB, the Magic City Men's Basketball Team hopes that Dayao and his team will buy it for 30 million RMB and clear out the foreign debt. The foreign debt is probably in the tens of millions and must be paid back slowly.

He still needs to invest another 100 million yuan in the Shanghai team in the next five years, so that this team will completely belong to him.

This is naturally unacceptable to Dayao. Although he has a high salary in the NBA and a lot of advertising revenue, he does not spend it like this. It is a complete premium.

Zhang Mingji: "Leaders, we come here with sincerity. If the price is this, it may be ruined."

"Then you can recruit Jiang Chao. If you recruit Jiang Chao, our price can be much cheaper. His business strategy is worth learning. There are also foreign training systems that can help our youth training camp."

This group of people may not watch much football, but they like to drink tea and read financial reports. They have seen the recent prosperity of the Knicks. They are all owned by Chinese people, so there is no difference.

They don't care what Dayao's abilities are, they actually want Jiang Chao to buy a CBA team for fun, because Jiang Chao is richer than Dayao, plus he has his own NBA team, which will improve Chinese basketball anyway.

of.

Unlike Dayao, the most is his personal team. He can't make much splash if he doesn't come to the CBA to play.

It's just that they have been unable to contact this young man. The last time they came to China, they always finished their business and left in a hurry. There was no chance to invite him over for tea.

Not to mention the Magic City, the Imperial Men's Basketball Team and many local basketball associations are looking for Jiang Chao, but they can't contact him at all.

"Boss Jiang Chao..." Yao Ming and Zhang Mingji looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They were still thinking of not contacting them unless necessary.

Although for their own sake, they really wanted to chat with Jiang Chao, a 20-year-old kid who was making waves in the NBA alone. As big brothers, they should have helped, but his status was really awesome. As a player,

It is not a good idea to take the initiative to contact the owner of another team.

Anyway, Dayao is a bit stubborn now. He doesn't know how rubbish Mo Gou's mentality is and how ruthless the Rockets are to him. He is on good terms with the Rockets now. Alexander has done a good job on the surface, donating for snow disasters and earthquakes.

Promote the Olympics...Chinese fans regard the Rockets as their home team, and Dayao naturally recognizes them.

"Would you like to ask?"

"Yeah, you can just contact him." The officials of the Magic City Basketball Association smiled playfully.

Zhang Mingji: "We must be in touch. Their general manager sent me a message the day before yesterday."

Dayao nodded:

"Okay, let me try."

For the sake of his hometown basketball and his future team, Dayao decided to make this call to Jiang Chao.

He now has a businessman's mentality. At this stage of his career and with a bunch of old injuries on his feet, it's time to consider a way out.

Zhang Mingji took out his mobile phone and was about to broadcast Jiang Chao's number that he had saved long ago when Dayao's phone rang.

Yao Ming's special deep voice said:

"Hello? Hello?"

"Dayao?"

"Well, I am."

"I'm Jiang Chao."

"Um???"

The calm Yao Ming was stunned for a moment. What a coincidence. After speaking, he took his mobile phone and walked aside, far away from the leaders.

"What's wrong? Are you surprised?" Jiang Chao said with a smile in New York.

Just like Dayao didn't contact Jiang Chao, Jiang Chao didn't take the initiative either

"No, no, Boss Jiang, I just have something to ask you about."

"Huh? Tell me." Jiang Chao was also stunned for a moment. What happened? Could the two of them be talking about the same thing???

Here, Zhang Mingji told the leaders that they would meet again later, and they directly found a chair and sat down to slowly communicate with Jiang Chao.

"Do you want to invest in the Magic Sharks men's basketball team?"

As a top sports agent in China, Zhang Mingji got straight to the point.

"Why I want to acquire it, I don't even understand the Knicks."

Jiang Chao looked at the calendar and roughly guessed that Dayao should be in Magic City now talking about acquiring the Magic City team. Indeed, the later generation also acquired the Magic City team at the end of 2009.

Yao Ming smiled and said:

"Boss Jiang Chao, stop joking. Your team is running very well now and the rookies also have great potential."

"Wow, didn't you watch the game? We just lost to the Rockets twice."

"I watched the video, and I won in a thrilling way in the end."

At this time, Zhang Mingji said from the side:

"Boss, we can join forces. You don't need to invest, but we can join forces for youth training and so on. Our basketball talents in Magic City can be sent to New York, and the talents in New York can also be sent to Magic City's youth training camps!"

Jiang Chao's smile disappeared after hearing this, and it was the first time Liu Yan saw Jiang Chao's brows furrowed so deeply.

He tapped the table with his index finger, his expression dull:

"Well, let me ask, Brother Yao is still a player, right? Why are you buying a CBA team?"

Zhang Mingji immediately replied: "Isn't this a hometown team? We are recovering from injuries while thinking about benefiting the local basketball foundation!"

Jiang Chao snorted coldly: "I'm asking Brother Yao."

I mean, what did the agent say?

For CBA, Jiang Chao is taboo, and he still can't figure out why Dayao would acquire the Magic City Sharks. He hates it so much that he loves it so much?

It may be related to Dayao's desire to enter politics in the future. Jiang Chao will not comment on this. Anyway, if it is him who benefits the basketball career in his hometown, he will start from the basics and it is impossible to become a CBA.

As the first foreign No. 1 pick in NBA history, Yao Ming's journey to the NBA was not always smooth sailing.

Because the Magic City Men's Basketball Team did not want Yao Ming to go to the NBA, but wanted him to play for two more years in the Magic City Men's Basketball Team. At that time, the Houston Rockets were also very eager to let Yao Ming go to the United States immediately, so the two sides began negotiations. At first, the Rockets were reluctant.

, being willing to pay a certain fee can be regarded as compensation to the Magic City team.

Unfortunately, the Magic City team did not want Yao Ming to leave, so they proposed that the Rockets give the Magic City team a player of the same level.

Then help the Magic City team establish a new youth training system.

The Rockets simply rejected the first one, because the Rockets only have one player who is equal to Yao Ming, Francis.

So it’s true that the Magic City team wants to have a large number of talented people in their team, but it’s also really disgusting. It’s roughly the same as, after finally cultivating them, why don’t they make more money for me?

This is why it is impossible for Jiang Chao to join the CBA, because in the future, if there are really good domestic players, they can just come directly to the Knicks youth training. Why do we need the CBA as a springboard?

The final result was a bit disgusting for Yao, and a share of the money I earned was given to the Magic City team.

Yao Ming is very eager to go to the highest level basketball stage, and he also took the initiative to find the Magic City team, hoping that they can realize his dream.

It's just that the Magic City team didn't care about feelings. In the end, Yao Ming threatened the Magic City team with retirement and finally made them give in.

You must know that Yao Ming was the main player of the Chinese men's basketball team at that time. If he retired, the Magic City team would not be able to bear the consequences.

In the end, Yao Ming went to the NBA as he wished, but his salary in the NBA needed to be shared with the Magic City team. I don’t know the details, but I heard it was quite a lot.

So this is a team that only thought of Dayao when its parent team in China was not doing well and was on the verge of bankruptcy. It was looking for someone to dump the blame and repay its debt.

Anyway, if it were Jiang Chao, the acquisition wouldn't be what it is now...

Zhang Mingji was choked so much that he lost his voice, while Dayao was stunned, touched his head and said:

"A situation has arisen here. They also want to sell the team. I will come and take a look."

Jiang Chao threw the pen aside:

"Dayao, is your NBA career over here???"

This sentence stunned Dayao who was leaning on crutches over there, including Jiang Chao's previous sentence, you are still a player...

When Dayao didn't reply, Jiang Chao repeated it again, with a questioning tone:

"Your NBA dream is over???"

Fatty Zhang Mingji didn’t know why: “Aren’t you still playing in the NBA?”

Yao Ming responded in a deep voice:

"He's talking about the dream of winning the NBA championship."
