The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

This is not because Yang Dongxu is rich, but after MP3, this is another expansion channel for him to step into the international arena. If you can really win a basketball club and a football club and get good results.

Then as long as a little bit of Chinese elements are integrated into these international superstars, such as putting some Chinese patterns on the jerseys, or Chinese characters, this will have greater influence than building Confucius Institutes everywhere, and the possibility of being rejected is very high. Small.

After all, as the owner of the club, it is normal to add your own preferences to the players. And the good results achieved by the club are also to help basketball and football expand their influence in China. They also pay so much tax every year to help the industry continue to expand the market. This small 'flaw' is nothing in front of huge profits.

Before coming to the United States, Yang Dongxu did research, so after flying to the United States, he went straight to his target—the Philadelphia 76ers.

The only reason why the Philadelphia 76ers were chosen was because of his poor grades. Since the 76ers won the fifth place in the Eastern Conference in the 1990-91 season, their grades have been getting worse every year.

In the 91-92 season, it went from fifth to last in the East to fifth in the East, and then the 92-93 season went directly to the second from last. In the 93-94 season, he worked hard and became the fourth from the bottom. The 94-95 season returned to the second-to-last, and then the 95-96 season was simply the last, and the 96-97 season was the second-to-last again this year.

For six consecutive years, the 76ers didn't even make it to the playoffs, and the results are simply eye-catching. He still chose it with such hot eyes, naturally because of the second reason, that is, Allen Iverson, one of Yang Dongxu's favorite NBA stars, was won by the 76ers with the No. 1 pick last year, that is, in 1996.

For this NBA history has not won a championship, but is a slightly uncrowned king. Yang Dongxu didn't know how many times he patted his thigh to congratulate him when watching the game at night.

It's a pity that this loyal 'answer' had a bleak life in his later years. Although he was still strong at the end of his career, the team that had been working hard to be loyal chose to trade him away at the end of his career. This is undoubtedly due to his feelings. great harm.

When the 76ers traded Iverson at the end of his career, I don’t know how many fans scolded him as a cold-blooded animal, and his brain went to shit. Even his own fans thought that the club owner was committing a crime and should go to jail, but in the end he still failed. prevent this tragedy.

Philadelphia is located in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania, USA. It is the fifth largest city in the United States, also known as the "City of Friendship". It used to be the capital of the United States before Washington was designated as the capital.

The retail industry here is extremely developed. There are more than 20,000 retailers and wholesalers, and commercial workers account for nearly one-fifth of the city's total population. Pande Schneider, the boss of the Philadelphia 76ers, is one of the largest wholesalers. . It is also the reason why he can afford a basketball club.

It's just that Schneider is very displeased recently. His business was going smoothly, but he recently encountered a bad thing. Not knowing where the competitor found the evidence, he was charged with tax evasion.

What's worse is that while he was entangled in lawsuits, his competitors also attacked the property under his control. In addition, he went to a nightclub and drank too much and took a girl with him and was caught by his wife. This time in life is just as bad as hell.

In fact, when someone expressed the desire to acquire his team at the beginning, Schneider refused without even thinking about it. Why are you kidding that the team has been so bad for so long and finally got a genius with the No. 1 pick. This year, the No. 1 pick was even named the best rookie, which proves that I didn't miss it and really got a treasure.

He also thought about whether to invest more money to make up for the team's shortcomings, to see if he could improve the record of the hot-eyed team for so many years, and how could he change the team.

But when the person who wanted to buy the team expressed his willingness to buy again last week, he hesitated. Although he still didn't want to sell the team in his heart, the reality made him have to think about it.

It's a virtuous cycle when money digs good basketball players to play well and then the team makes money. Teams with no money are bad, not only are there no good players who can't buy tickets at a high price, and then lose money, this is a vicious circle.

Although a treasure has been dug, but if there is no strong support for such a treasure, if you want to achieve good results, you are lying to yourself. Basketball is a sport of five people. Although one person can become a god, he cannot fight alone.

So he certainly doesn't have a lot of money to invest in the team due to the current financial constraints, so this year's record is second to last, and maybe it will be the same next year.

At the same time, regardless of whether the lawsuit is won or not, the money for paying taxes will definitely be indispensable. Coupled with his wife's divorce and property division, not only can he not invest a large amount of money in the team, but he also continues to continue a sum of money.

"Maybe it's a good choice to sell it now." Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Schneider, who was sitting in the cafe, couldn't help muttering.

Although it is definitely more profitable to make the team's performance better and then sell it, but that requires a large investment cost. Although the team's performance is bad now, Iverson is very good, and it will definitely let people see the hope of building a strong team with him as the core. That way the price can be negotiated.

"It would be great if the team won the championship again, so that I don't have to invest again, and I can make money from it." Schneider couldn't help thinking.

When did the team win the championship before? Well, the earliest one was in 1954, when he was a child.

The closest time to win the championship was also in 1982, and more than ten years have passed. He almost forgot what was involved in the celebration ceremony when he won the championship.

Remembering the glory of the past, Schneider put away the contemplation on his face, because the guests arrived. Although he already knew that a Chinese was interested in his team when he contacted him before, he couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw Yang Dongxu.

"Hello, Mr. Schneider. Nice to meet you." Yang Dongxu smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Yang?" Schneider felt some awkward pronunciation in his voice, glanced at the two bodyguards behind him, and put away a trace of contempt in his heart.

Although there were people with bodyguards when they went out at this time, it was the first time he saw two tall white bodyguards standing behind a Chinese. In most people's perception, although there is some contempt for the Chinese, they have to admit that the Chinese who can afford white bodyguards are rich.

And with his eyesight, he could tell at a glance that these two white bodyguards were not the kind of people who spent money to hire them to make up the number, but were really elites. His father used to have such a bodyguard, but later his father got old and he didn't like being followed like that all the time, so he dismissed him.

"Maybe it can be sold for a good price." After judging that the young man in front of him might have some wealth, Schneider thought in his heart.

After the two sat down, Yang Dongxu casually ordered a cup of coffee and said, "I have made it clearer than your contact person. I wonder what Mr. Schneider thinks?"

Before coming to the United States, Yang Dongxu quoted a price of 50 million US dollars to the 76ers. The other party was obviously moved by this price, otherwise he would not want to talk about it, and he would not come to the United States.

I like Yang Dongxu's direct Schneider, after all, he is in trouble now and has no time to chat with a Chinese boy, "The price is too low."

"No, no, Mr. Schneider, I think this is already a high price." Yang Dongxu shook his head and said.

If you put it in later generations, if you say 50 million to buy an NBA team, it is estimated that people will call it a provocation and throw shit out of it. But the current price is definitely high. Perhaps it is a little bit lower for the top teams in the league.

But it is definitely not low on the 76ers, even if Iverson is added, it is also a high price. You must know that Jordan, who is currently winning consecutive championships, had a previous salary of more than 3 million. As for the current 30 million, it is a special case and cannot be used as a reference.

Now there are 29 teams in the entire league, and the total revenue brought to the NBA is less than 1 billion. The bottom-ranked team that won the 76ers with 50 million US dollars is definitely showing their sincerity. After all, this year is 97. year, not 2007.

"But Iverson performed very well this year, didn't he?" Schneider couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

I originally thought that I would meet a young man with deep pockets, but after all, it was indeed a high price to quote 50 million. Who ever thought that the other party seemed not as impulsive as he imagined.

"So I offered a high price of 50 million, and I am also very optimistic about Iverson. If there is no him, I think you can accept my price of 30 million, right?"

"This." Schneider was a little speechless.

Obviously, he also knows that Jordan's sky-high contract of 30 million yuan cannot be used as a standard reference. Yang Dongxu's valuation of 20 million yuan for Iverson, a rookie, is already more optimistic about Iverson's price than him.

But if the team is sold for 50 million, he is very unwilling. After all, this is the brainchild of two generations of their family. Even if this crystallization seems a bit disappointing at the moment, it is a little hopeful now, isn't it?

"If Mr. Schneider hasn't made a decision yet, you can think about it for a while. Actually, I also have to think about it. I am really interested in acquiring an NBA team, so the offer is not just for the 76ers. For example, Said that the Nets and the Lone Ranger have also made offers, and I will fly around to meet their bosses in the past two days."

Yang Dongxu directly stated how willing he is to acquire a team. It's just that this point, which could have been handled originally, is not good news for Shi Ende now.

Because recently the owners of several teams with poor performance in the NBA intend to sell their teams. This matter is related to Jordan’s sky-high salary, because many players who think they are also superstars also want to raise their salaries. Salaries go up together.

Bosses naturally don't want to see salary increases for employees, especially before they can't bring them greater benefits. So many team owners use this method to express their dissatisfaction, or they really want to take the money and leave.

The young man in front of him now has several options to buy the team, and the price he quoted is indeed very sincere. It's really not certain that the other party can't come back after leaving like this.
