NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 178: Dayao’s response, Christmas war, live broadcast across the United States to beat No. 1 in the Eastern Conference!

Zhang Mingji here is much more excited than Dayao.

Holy shit, did the Knicks boss talk about this?

You can't look at him with the mentality of a 20-year-old kid, you have to look at him with his identity!

The big boss of the holy land of basketball and the court with the most commercial value, if Yao really puts on a Knicks jersey, wouldn’t his popularity and value be off the charts???

Anyway, as an agent, his interests come first. Whether it is his own or Dayao's, if Dayao really changes teams for the first time in his career, if nothing else, the topic will be hot for a week before stopping.

And it’s the circle that gets the biggest response, right?

Playing together with Yao Ming and Howard is like playing on the same team as Don Zhanxico. Regardless of fame, their role on the court is to always have a super big shield inside. How to play?

No trespassing here!

From the perspective of a non-player, it is true that the current Rockets have shown signs of decline. T-Mac has played intermittently, Dayao has not played for a season, the Rockets have a poor record, and the rise of new teams in the Western Conference has to do with Jiang Chao.

Thanks, because of this deal with the Knicks, the Thunder are now number one in the Western Conference!

"Boss Jiang Chao, your friendship caught me off guard."

"Haha, that's all I have to say. It doesn't matter if I am a member of the family. First of all, I think your coming here will be of great help to our team."

"Well, I know that."

To be honest, Dayao is already feeling a little excited again. The Knicks are a group of lively young people, plus Turkish agents, Harden, and Curry who like to pass the ball and have a three-point backcourt. He is an old ball player.

Don’t you know what kind of chemical reaction will happen if he joins?

"Then I'm used to being scolded anyway. You don't need to take action. I'll do it."

Friendly reminder from Zhang Mingji: "Rockets fans are very fierce."

In fact, Nimi put little pressure on Jiang Chao, because this is one of the most disloyal fan groups in the world, but fans in other sports markets are very loyal.

"Anyway, Rockets fans in China are basically Yao fans. Why does Tracy McGrady have so many fans? Yao brother deserves half of the credit. Okay, I won't bother you too much to recuperate. Mark Jackson and Coach Clifford called me to watch.

It’s a training match, bye.”

"Well, boss, please take it easy... let's take our time." Although Zhang Mingji also knew that young people are impulsive, if they really want to complete this kind of deal within the contract period, they still need to talk slowly.

In fact, he didn't understand why Jiang Chao mentioned these two coaches. It was obvious that Dayao's eyes lit up. Jiang Chao's old-world talk skills were still awesome.

There’s a reason why he doesn’t talk about Young Marshal or Messina!

Mark Jackson is Dayao's old teammate, and he is also the defender who likes to pass the ball to him the most. Now he is an assistant coach with the Knicks, which is like meeting old friends, and Mark Jackson's system is also very good at cultivating the center's pick-and-roll tactics.

Not to mention Clifford, Van Gundy's little brother, who is Van Gundy? The man who is best at using centers such as Yao and Howard, and is also one of Yao's mentors.

These two people are more attractive to Yao than Howard... Howard is a rival. When teammates have overlapping positions, he will be disgusted when he hears it at the first time. But these two assistant coaches are good friends, how can they be unhappy?

So when Dayao finally hung up the phone, his voice became much happier:

"Okay, thank you Boss Jiang Chao for your concern for me. I will seriously consider this matter."

"Well, for the Magic City team, 15 million is about the same. You can let the agent negotiate this price and then buy it."

ah?

Um??

Jiang Chao's sudden suggestion caught them off guard, and he quickly said:

"Okay! Thank you!!!"

"Thank you boss!"

Now Zhang Mingqi and the two are even happier. Wow, Jiang Chao is so good. In the end, he is still helping them make suggestions. The anger at the beginning is gone!!

Moreover, this is what Jiang Chao, a big businessman, said, and the Basketball Association is going to listen to it a little bit.

"Hang up~"

Jiang Chao hung up the phone, and the first conversation with Dayao's team ended.

In the end, he can be regarded as a small helper. To be honest, in his opinion, this investment is not as good as investing in a "Journey to the Road" with him. The subsequent copyright income of "Journey to the Road" can be doubled.

The saying "give a fist and then give a candy" works everywhere.

Later, Yao spent 20 million in the first year to acquire the team, and finally spent about 150 million yuan. After that, he gradually sold some shares, but when selling the team, he repurchased 400 million shares.

In the end, he had to sell the team when he entered politics. The team was sold for 650 million yuan. Yao Ming earned more than 100 million yuan before and after this.

It only took 10 years to earn RMB 100 million after buying it. This is China's top basketball league... and a lot of thought has been put into it. As the boss, you have to take responsibility.

So 15 million is almost enough, and it can save Dayao some money. Maybe Dayao will buy something out in the future and save some money for the Knicks (emphasis added, need to test)

…

Yao, who hung up the phone over there, didn't want to talk about business. He just took advantage of the situation and said that his legs were not feeling well and left the Magic City Basketball Association. This trick was the most effective. No one in China wanted Yao Ming's injury to get worse.

The same goes for the people in the NBA, they still hope that Yao's influence will spread to the Magic City Men's Basketball Team.

So I quickly escorted him back to the hotel.

In the car, he and Zhang Mingji were naturally thinking deeply about what Jiang Chao just said. It has been almost 10 years, should they change teams?

Now that such an opportunity was clearly placed in front of him, it was up to him to make his own choice.

Jiang Chao actually guessed what they were talking about, it was an issue that would not be easily removed unless someone like Yi Jianlian knew that the team didn't need him at all.

Then Dayao also considered his friendship with Tracy McGrady, and Boss Fu originally asked him to always guard Space City.

"But what Boss Jiang said just now is right. It was us who made the Space City, not Houston who made you."

"Yes."

"If Tracy McGrady is really going to be traded in the mid-term, we won't worry if we just wait and see."

"Okay, he is from the management and will get more information than us. Now that this news has come out, it seems that the Rockets are really going to change the combination of you and Tracy McGrady."

"Hey, who can we recruit if we move?"

"We'll ask Morey then."

"Yeah, I don't know if this boss is really knowledgeable or just fooling around. I hope he didn't lie to us because he loves generating electricity."

"How did you know he was generating electricity for love? What you said makes me feel bad." Dayao also said with a cold sense of humor.

"He said it himself, he wants to lead you to win the championship. This is also the wish of all our Chinese fans, right? Chinese players are truly the core to win the championship."

"And the key is that the Knicks' current lineup is not as good as the Rockets, and they have lost two games in a row.

Yes, before the arrival of Warcraft, it was really not better than the Rockets, so Jiang Chao was probably talking on paper, although so far he has fulfilled the promises he made to the outside world.

But after all, there is no news about which team Warcraft will join next season, and they are getting along well with Carter now.

The two didn't come up with the reason in the end. Anyway, it was certain that Dayao was interested. He was waiting for Tracy McGrady's deal to discuss the details. Dayao himself had a small thought deep in his heart, which was that he was afraid of cheating Jiang Chao.

He himself also knew that his body could not support him for a few more years, and he still had a contract worth nearly 20 million yuan next year. He didn't want to make it difficult for Jiang Chao.

"Then wait until the next conversation. I will try to buy the Magic City Men's Basketball Team with 15 million tomorrow."

Zhang Mingji calmed down a lot after thinking about it carefully. It is true that Jiang Chao's recent reputation has been too scary, and Dayao, as the number one player in the Chinese men's basketball team, everyone is paying attention to every move he makes.

Jiang Chao is naturally not in a hurry. He just needs to test out Dayao's thoughts, and then just leave it to Sean Marks to operate.

He didn't force it. He waited until the Rockets sold Tracy McGrady in the middle of the season. The main reason was that Jiang Chao didn't have much real bargaining chips. He also knew that Howard wasn't here and Van Gundy wasn't here either. Otherwise, Yao really might have discussed something now.

Trading method.

Although Yao is now unable to play even after being traded, the Chinese people are very particular about settling the matter, and the transaction will be successful first! It’s better to treat the disease slowly. Although the New York Medical Team is not the Sun Doctors Team, it is at least the core medical team of the NBA headquarters.

Still quite generous.

…

The next day.

Heavy!

"NBA player Yao acquires CBA parent team Magic City Sharks men's basketball team, the purchase price is 15 million RMB!"

This instantly became a commercial headline in the basketball circle.

Sure enough, just like what Jiang Chao said, the fans also feel that as a player, it is not good for you to invest personally? Are you thinking of a way out for yourself?

NBA players invest a lot, but most of them are related to play, such as bars, playgrounds, and nightclubs, and then they lose money...

Is it obvious that Dayao doesn't plan to play in the NBA in the future?

Want to retire?

This kind of speculation was written out by editors, and Dayao's preparation for retirement instantly became a hot search headline.

It’s the Christmas holiday too, and everyone is so busy that they can’t even type on the keyboard after seeing this kind of spiritual food?

Jiang Chao was also stunned for a moment when he saw the newspaper in New York.

Is Dayao so fast???

To be honest, there is no need to make such a big fanfare. It wouldn't be too late to wait until the off-season to announce it.

In doing so, it attracted some firepower to Jiang Chao. Not many people mentioned the Rockets' double defeat of the Knicks. Moreover, what would the Rockets management think of this news?

It seems to be downplaying my own value.

Lower your worth!

Sean Marks noticed it. He quickly came to Jiang Chao's office and said that Yao was retiring. Who would dare to trade with the Rockets to get Yao? Yao Ming would definitely be killed by the Rockets.

.

Jiang Chao just smiled and said nothing, and said to Dongfang from a distance:

"I received your message, Brother Yao."

This is actually indirectly telling the Knicks that we will either stay with the Rockets forever, or we will only trade with the Knicks who want me, and other teams should not join in the fun.

This was my response to Jiang Chao after yesterday’s conversation.

Take a look at the replies on the fan forum. Rockets fans are very passionate and don’t want Yao to fade out of the NBA.

Fans of other teams who were still making predictions about Yao's trade have deleted their posts and disappeared. Is the league's number one center thinking about buying a team?

"Study under Jiang Chao?"

"Maybe everyone wants to be Jiang Chao, haha."

"Yao Ming can directly invest in an NBA team."

"Brother, I haven't retired yet, so I can't invest."

"That's right. I guess Jiang Chao wants to make money because he has made a lot of money."

"It's normal, I forgive him. Who told him to be the Great Wall of China!"

"He still brought us a lot of wonderful things and touching things. Please don't complain, he doesn't need your forgiveness."

"Haha, laugh to death!"

Sean Marks even laughed. He wanted to learn from Jiang Chao and ask him what he meant.

Jiang Chao smiled mysteriously: "You continue to look for opportunities. Let me know if there are any changes to the Rockets, and we will take action then."

"But……"

"I called him yesterday and everything was settled."

"That's okay~" Sean Marks also smiled heartily. As expected, Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people. I hope the chat between Yao and Jiang Chao will facilitate this deal. Yao is not only his idol, but also Crawford and Mark Jackson.

Favorite international player.

He is the player the Knicks need most right now.

Check out the Knicks section's commentary on the team's recent performance right below.

Jiang Chao is actually watching it too, just like browsing Hupu. After reading the news, he clicks on the section of his favorite team to read the comments:

"Isn't this fat inside man Eddy Curry coming back?"

"He probably won't be able to survive. This guy is not good to begin with. He is a foul-mouthed guy."

"David Lee and Okur are actually okay, but they can't stand the height of the inside and the repeated attacks."

"Although Yi has a high wingspan, his playing style is a bit soft. He is suitable for power forward."

"The main reason is that we don't have that kind of human shield. For all teams, the hole in our Knicks' inside line will be infinitely large. When the defender sees the inside line with no height and thickness, how can he break through like a thief?"

"Yeah, recently Jennings only scored 5 points and 5 turnovers against the Magic. This is Howard's role, and when he played against the Knicks, he hit the mark every time, right?"

"Well, the outbreak against the Cavaliers was also because O'Neal was injured, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy."

"It looks like Kuha is stronger, but they don't have the ability to help defend. The small forward position still needs to help defend against strong players."

"Hey, Boss Jiang, Boss Jiang, I want a record, but these five consecutive defeats are too frustrating."

"The game against Houston yesterday really shouldn't have happened, right?"

"It's a pity that we didn't handle it well in the end."

"It's a matter of luck. The Knicks still have more than 30 million in free space. People say the Knicks are not good this season. I think they still have the strength."

"Watch the Christmas game. You can see what's going on when you play the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers have an all-star super giant inside and outside. It's broadcast live across the United States. I heard that boss Jiang Chao even watched the game live, and finally stopped running his entertainment company."

"That's right, let's start a p-film. As a Chinese, I chose Columbia to study abroad not to watch him make movies, but to watch him cause turmoil in the NBA as the boss."

"He is a very smart boss. He visits Chaoshen Group's office building every day. I don't think he goes there just for work."

"Shh, don't worry about this! At least our boss has found his way back from his lost ways!"

"That's because I'm under a lot of pressure. Sales of Chaoshen Sports have been low this month, and I can't take care of it. Aren't there many extreme fans who say they'll smash up Chaoshen Sports stores if they lose this game?

"

"Don't tell me, the Super God generation is more comfortable than Curry's generation!"

"Yes, this one is not advertised much. The integrated seamless hyperfuse structure and the combination of r-fiber materials provide excellent wrapping and fit for the feet. Combined with the phylon midsole and foam insole, it is all-round

It wraps the feet and minimizes unnecessary sliding of the feet in the shoes.”

"The people upstairs are talking in human language."

"I would like to call it the strongest! It's really cool. Recently, the Super God Generation has released Christmas colors."

"No! We still have to smash it. Jiang Chao only knows how to make money. Has he forgotten the promise he made to the team?

"You want to smash these shoes and take them..." After this comment, the boy fell silent.

China Hupu:

"Hey, hey, hey, support domestic products, okay? Jiang Chao's goal is actually Super Sports, Nike, Adigo, the Knicks, it doesn't matter..."

"The ones upstairs are too blind. There is no such thing as nothing. They are all things that complement each other."

…

Houston.

In the cafe next to the aviation park.

Morey met secretly with boss Alexander.

"Why do you think Yao is so eager to invest in his hometown team this time?"

"Want to retire after playing the last year?"

"How much residual value does he have?"

"The Chinese market will always be there. As for the team, the team doctor actually told me that if he continues to use yao like last season after his comeback, he will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair."

"If he can't play ball, the Chinese market won't be of much use, right?"

"Yes, data shows that this season's occupancy rate and peripheral sales, the tourism industry has dropped significantly compared to last year."

"So……"

"Tell me the truth, can the team make the playoffs this year?"

"cannot."

"Then maximize the value of yao. It's up to you. Just don't buy it out."

"Okay, boss, leave this to me." Mo Gou frowned. Originally, he wanted to ensure his interests and wanted to send McGrady away first.

Now it seems that since Yao has not been with the team this month and has not updated his injury status, he is not far away from retirement.

After retiring, he will definitely not stay with the Rockets. If he wants to return to China to develop, he will be of little value to the Rockets.

"We have to take action quickly to get rid of this hot potato." Mo Gou let out a vicious smile.

…

The night before Christmas Eve.

Sean Marks received a call from Morey, asking him to talk to the "crazy" boss about Yao.

Obviously, the hot potato of Dayao should be given to the Knicks, who seem to be run on a sentimental basis.

Directly offer yi big Q Harden in the first round next year, 4 for 1, and supplement the salary with a draft pick. Except for a few main players, everything else on their side can be used as additions, allowing the Knicks to choose from the Rockets supermarket.

This time, Jiang Chao was not in a hurry:

"We'll talk about it later, let's check it out."

He knew that Mo Gou's lion was very open, and he really dared to say that there was indeed such a four-for-one, seven-for-one-for-superstar-exchange operation, but that was for a superstar in his prime.

I wanted to eat it when I first tasted it. It seems that the cakes in the Chinese market are really delicious.

At this time, the effect of Jiang Chao's phone call will slowly appear. When Dayao recovers from his injury, he no longer wants to play for the Rockets. Do you think this Mo dog can still bark like this?

"Boss, we are all Chinese, wouldn't it be nice to have a reunion?"

Sean Marks is sober:

"Hey, hey, hey, the deal will be done after Yao recovers. We don't know the status of his injuries."

"Right away, right away."

"Hang up the phone right now, I'm tired."

Mo Gou also pretended to be tough and said:

"Okay, then just wait and lose again."

After saying that, he hung up the phone very pretentiously.

"hehe."

Jiang Chao looked indifferently at the players playing training matches inside the arena.

because.

Next.

With him here, the Knicks will never lose again!

What about the knights? The emperor has not ascended the throne, but there is an emperor in my team who has ascended the throne!

"Max, please arrange a seat. I'm going to sit in the first row behind the coaching bench to watch the game this time."

"Hiss~" Sean Marks was stunned for a moment. He was in the row behind the players and could talk directly.

Is coach Jiang going to be on the line when he is ranked first in the Eastern Conference!!!

"Okay, no problem!"
