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

As long as you incorporate a little bit of Chinese elements into these international superstars, such as a little Chinese pattern on the jersey, or Chinese characters, this is more influential than building Confucius Institutes everywhere, and the possibility of rejection is very small.

After all, as the owner of a club, it's normal to add your own preferences to your players. And the good results of the club are also to help basketball and football expand their influence in China, pay so many taxes every year, and help the industry continue to expand the market. This little 'flaw' is nothing in the face of huge gains.

Before coming to the United States, Yang Dongxu did an investigation, so after flying to the United States, he went straight to the target - the Philadelphia 76ers.

Only chose the Philadelphia 76ers, the first one is naturally because of his poor results, since the 90-91 season The 76ers won the fifth place in the East, the results can be said to be getting worse and worse year by year.

The '91-92 season went from fifth in the positive East to fifth in the penultimate East, and then in the '92-93 season, it went straight to the penultimate one. In the '93-94 season, he worked hard to become fourth from the bottom. The '94-'95 season was back to the penultimate one, then the '95-'96 season was simply the first to the bottom, and the '96-97 season was the penultimate again this year.

The 76ers haven't even made the playoffs for six consecutive years, and the results are simply spicy. is naturally chosen for the second reason, that is, Allen Iverson, one of Yang Dongxu's favorite NBA stars, was won by the 76ers last year, that is, in 96.

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

It's a pity that this loyal 'answer' has a bit of a bleak life in his later years, although his ability is still strong at the end of his career, but the team that has been working hard and loyal chose to trade him away at the end of his career, which is undoubtedly a great hurt to his feelings.

At that time, when the 76ers traded Iverson at the end of his career, he was scolded by many fans for being a cold-blooded animal, and his brain was in stool, and even his own fans felt that the club owner was committing a crime and should go to jail, but in the end it still failed to prevent this tragedy.

Located in the southeastern part of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia is the fifth largest city in the United States, also known as the 'City of Love', and was once the capital of the United States before Washington was not designated as the capital.

There are more than 20,000 retailers and wholesalers here, and nearly one-fifth of the city's total population is a commercial worker, and Pender Schneider, the owner of the Philadelphia 76ers, is one of the largest wholesalers. It is also the reason why he can afford to play a basketball club.

It's just that Schneider has been very unhappy recently, and he has recently encountered a bad thing when his business was going well. Not knowing where the competitor found the evidence, he was indicted on charges of tax evasion.

What's worse is that while he is entangled in lawsuits, competitors are also attacking the industry under his hands, plus he went to a nightclub to drink too much and brought a girl to open up and was caught by his wife, he feels that this period of his life is simply terrible.

In fact, when someone first expressed their desire to buy the team in his hands, Schneider refused without even thinking about it. Why are you kidding that the team has been rotten for so long, and finally got a genius who signed the champion, and this year's champion was named the best rookie, which proves that he didn't look away, and he really caught a baby.

He was also thinking about whether to invest more money to make up for the team's shortcomings, to see if he could improve the team record that had been spicy for so many years, and how could he change teams.

But when the man who wanted to buy the team last week expressed his intention to buy it again, he hesitated. Although he still didn't want to sell the team, the reality of the situation made him have to think about it.

There is money to dig good basketball players to play well and then the team makes money, which is a virtuous circle. If there is no money, the team is rotten, not only are there no good players, but the tickets cannot be bought at the price, and then they lose money, which is a vicious circle.

Although I dug up a baby, but if I don't have a strong reinforcement to supplement such a baby, if you want to get good results, you are lying to yourself, basketball is a sport for five people, although one person can become a god, but you can't fight alone.

So at present, he is financially tight, and he definitely doesn't have a lot of money to invest in the team, so this year's record is the second-to-last, maybe next year.

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

"Maybe it's a good idea to sell it now. Looking at the somewhat gloomy sky outside, Schneider, who was sitting in the café, couldn't help but mutter.

Although it is certainly more profitable to sell the team to make the team better, it is necessary to calculate the large investment cost. And now although the team's results are bad, Iverson is very good, and he can definitely make people see the hope of building a strong team with him as the core. In this case, the price can be properly discussed.

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

When did the team win the championship before? Well, the first time it was in 1954, when he was still a kid.

It has been more than ten years since the last time I won the championship. He had almost forgotten what the celebrations were all about.

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

"Hello, Mr. Schneider, it's a pleasure to meet you. Yang Dongxu smiled and stretched out his hand.

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

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

And with his eyes, he can see at a glance that these two white bodyguards are not the kind of people who spend money to make up the numbers, but are really elites. His father used to have such a bodyguard, but when his father was old, he didn't like to be followed all the time, so he was dismissed.

"Maybe you can sell it for a good price. After judging that the young man in front of him might have some net worth, Schneider thought in his heart.

After the two sat down, Yang Dongxu casually ordered a cup of coffee and said, "I mean, the contact person is clear to you, I don't know what Mr. Schneider thinks?"

Before coming to the United States, Yang Dongxu quoted $50 million to the 76ers team, and the other party was obviously moved by this price, otherwise he wouldn't want to talk, and he wouldn't have come to the United States.

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

"No, no, no, Mr. Schneider, I think that's a high price. Yang Dongxu shook his head and said.

If it is placed in the future, if you say that you buy an NBA team for 50 million, it is estimated that it will be regarded as a provocation and. But now this price is definitely a high price, maybe on the top teams in the league, this price is a little lower.

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

Now the 29 teams in the entire league have brought less than 1 billion in total revenue to the NBA, and the team at the bottom of the ranking of the 76ers with 50 million US dollars is definitely showing its sincerity, after all, this year is only 97, not 2007.

"But Iverson is doing well this year, isn't he?" Schneider couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

originally thought that he would meet a young man with deep pockets, after all, it was indeed a high price to offer 50 million when he opened his mouth. Who would have thought that the other party didn't seem to be as impulsive as they thought.

"So I opened a high price of 50 million, and I'm also very optimistic about Iverson. If it weren't for him, I think you would be able to accept it even if I offered 30 million, wouldn't you?"

"This ......," Schneider was a little speechless.

Obviously, he also knows that Jordan's sky-high contract of 30 million cannot be used as a standard reference, and Yang Dongxu can give Iverson, a newcomer, an estimate of 20 million, which 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 little disappointing at the moment, it's a little hopeful now, isn't it?

"If Mr. Schund hasn't made a decision yet, you can think about it for a while. I actually have to think about it, I'm really interested in buying an NBA team, so it's not just the 76ers who are offering, for example, the Nets and the Mavericks, I also have an offer, and I'm going to fly around and meet their owners in the past two days. ”

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

Because recently, there are indeed several team owners who have not achieved good results in the NBA who are interested in selling their teams, which is related to Jordan's sky-high salary, because many players who feel that they are also superstars also want to increase their salaries, so that the average salary of the league will rise together.

Bosses naturally don't want to see employees get a raise, especially if they can't get them a bigger benefit. So it's a way for many team owners to express their dissatisfaction, or if they really want to get rid of their money and leave.

The young man in front of him now has several options to buy the team, plus the price he quoted is indeed extraordinarily sincere. If the other party can't come back after leaving like this, it's really not necessarily.
