Chapter 123: Throwing out 500 million dollars
As the time gets colder and colder, the first semester of the second year of high school is coming to an end.
I don't know why, after being reborn, Zhou Yi always felt that time passed too quickly, and he didn't always feel like he was tormented like in his previous life.
Downing has made little progress in the United States, and has collected some shares, but unfortunately it is not enough to affect the overall situation. Downing has begun to approach Alexander, the owner of the Rockets, but it's a pity that this bad old man is too shrewd to leak a word.
Zhou Yi has no choice, he is now beyond the reach of the whip. He had no choice but to let Downing continue to buy the scattered shares, and then try to give some benefits to other NBA team owners, hoping to take it within a year.
After Tang Ning received Zhou Yi's order, he checked that there were still more than 8 billion funds in the card, and he knew that he would definitely be able to buy this annoying team with this money. However, the difficulty is how to get Alexander to be tempted to sell the team.
Downing estimated that now the Rockets are a weak team and the market is not good, and the market value should be around $350 million. Originally, Tang Ning wanted to save some money for Zhou Yi and wanted to take it with the least amount of money, but now it seems a little difficult.
All of Downing's actions were done in private, without alarming anyone or any media, so there has been no news yet that anyone has approached Alexander, the owner of the Rockets, to negotiate a takeover.
In Houston, USA, in a fine dining restaurant, Downing and Alexander sit across from each other.
"Mr. Alexander, let me get to the point. My boss wants me to pay 400 million, can you think about it?" Tang Ning did not raise the price this time, but he was just testing this shrewd old man.
"Mr. Tang, did you come with sincerity?" said Alexander, sarcastically.
"Can Mr. Alexander tell me about your bottom line?" Downing said with a smile ignoring Alexander's sarcasm.
Alexander raised his palms and said with a smile: "Five hundred million." If you come up with 500 million, I'll be in charge of convincing the other bosses. ”
"Five hundred million?" Tang Ning was taken aback, was this really too much. This Downing was a little embarrassed all of a sudden. Although Zhou Yi asked him to use money to smash it, he made Alexander earn more than 100 million dollars at once, which still made Tang Ning very unhappy.
But after thinking about it for five minutes, Tang Ning nodded in agreement. "It was a pleasure to work with. Downing held out his palm to Alexander.
"Happy working together!" Alexander smiled very happily. He finally got rid of his reputation as the poorest boss in the NBA.
"By the way, Mr. Alexander, I would like to ask you to keep it a secret for the time being, and not to reveal this matter to the outside world. ”
"Yes!" Alexander agreed.
That afternoon, Alexander called many of the NBA bosses, and this was the beginning of the NBA, when all the NBA bosses got together for a meeting.
Alexander still has some ability, so at this conference, more than 20 team owners voted yes, which means that Monday's acquisition of the NBA Rockets has been successful.
The day after the Downing NBA team owner voted to approve it, he signed a buyout agreement with Alexander owner. After the agreement was signed, the owner of Alexander issued a statement saying that he was going to recuperate due to physical reasons, and the team was temporarily handed over to general manager Dawson to preside.
Although Alexander's statement caused a lot of speculation, not many people guessed that the team had been bought, after all, Alexander had only been the owner for a few years.
However, as the general manager of the team, Dawson is very aware that the team has changed hands now, although the new owner has not yet given any instructions, but Alexander has explained everything before leaving, and there is no information. Who the specific boss is, Dawson has no exact news yet.
However, it didn't take long for Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks, to open his mouth and let out the news of the change of ownership of Houston. For a while, the Rockets players did not belong to each other, and various countries that paid attention to the NBA were full of curiosity about the new owner of the Rockets.
Three days later, Houston's new boss was revealed to be Chinese again, but it is still unknown who it is. Because everyone knows that the new boss is the boss of China's Xinhua Group, but except for those few people who know who this boss is, everyone else has almost no clue.
People who don't know who the boss of Xinhua Group is are speculating that the boss is actually Liu Siyuan, so the news that Liu Siyuan is the boss of Xinhua Group spreads all over the sky. Liu Siyuan saw that the news was getting more and more evil, so he had to come forward to hold a press conference to make it clear that he was just a part-time worker, and also gave a specific example, that is, the company's legal identity to prove it, but the name on the certificate was hidden again.
Although Liu Siyuan's move temporarily eased the rumor that the boss of Xinhua Group was Liu Siyuan, various domestic media began to speculate about who the boss behind the leading group of domestic private enterprises was.
But none of this has anything to do with Zhou Yi, and no one can implicate the boss of Xinhua Group in a high school student. But Zhou Yi is also busy, since Downing told him the news of the successful acquisition of the Houston Rockets, Zhou Yi began to think about how to quickly improve the competitiveness of the Rockets, and let Yao Ming enter the NBA as soon as possible.
Zhou Yi listed the guards, forwards and centers who later surprised in the NBA, and wanted Dawson to find a way to get them. As for the luxury tax, this is not Zhou Yi's consideration, if he makes the strength of the Rockets rise as soon as possible and wins the NBA championship, at that time, the luxury tax spent before will also be earned back for him one by one.
Zhou Yi knows that the original boss Alexander, from the poorest boss in the NBA, suddenly has more than a billion dollars in assets and ranks among the rich people in the NBA, which is the best proof of making money.
Zhou Yi believes that he can rely on his foresight to find powerful and practical players for the Rockets, and it is possible for the Rockets to become a strong team or an NBA championship team. In addition, if you get Yao Ming into the Rocket team, if you don't make money, that's the world's strange news.
Regarding the existing staffing of the Rockets, like general manager Dawson, Zhou Yi is still at ease with him, and the current head coach Tomjanovic is also a head coach that Zhou Yi likes. So these two positions won't move, and now it's the players who have to move. As for how to move, it was not for Zhou Yi to consider, Zhou Yi only provided players for Dawson to operate.
After Zhou Yi made the list and asked Dawson to bring Yao Ming to the NBA as soon as possible, he didn't care at all about the news of the boss of Xinhua Group that is now going viral in society. He still went to school safely, accompanied by some of his women.
The final exam of the first semester of the second year of high school is coming in the cold winter, and Chen Ran is completely prepared this time, and he must take back the first place from Zhou Yi's hands. So, a few days before the final exam, this girl almost relied on writing books in the class.
For many students, the four days of final exams are almost torture, but for the seven students in the dormitory on Monday, it is simply leisure time. No, in every exam, everyone always has to compete to see who handed in the paper first, and then quickly rushed back to the dormitory to grab the four positions that scored 80 points.
After the second half of the semester, Wei Yuan brought a very good classmate from their class, named Gao Wei, from Yang Concentration School. This guy is extremely obsessed with playing eighty, but the level is very bad, no matter who he is against, he will always be scolded half to death. But he still smiled, and he didn't get angry, and continued to go to Zhou Yi's dormitory every night after school to accept everyone's abuse in eighty points of technology.
After half a semester of getting along, the seven people in Zhou Yi's dormitory have become good friends with this guy who is very bad at 80 points in technology, but very persistent. Although Gao Wei is obsessed with 80 points, he is a very smart person in his studies, and his grades are always around the top five in his class.
Gao Wei has decided to move to Zhou Yi's dormitory next semester, just to make a whole dormitory, and it happens that he doesn't have to play poker late every night, and he will be scolded when he goes back to his dormitory.
After the Chinese and math exams on the afternoon of the first day, I was the first to hand in the papers on Monday. After handing in the papers, Zhou Yi went to the dormitory, sorted out the playing cards, and after tidying up the table, Gong Lei came back. After the two discussed a few language topics together, Xu Hui came back the third. Immediately after, the fourth was Wei Yuan.
The four of them got together, and the war officially began at eighty minutes. A few people were discussing the questions on the test paper while playing, which was also very pleasant. After they all played two rounds, Liu Anwei, Liu Ancheng, and Zhong Jiafu all came back. And Gao Wei was the last to come back, and when he saw that there was no place left, and there were still three people waiting, he angrily scolded the teacher who came out of the paper for a difficult problem, so that he came back late for a long time and did not occupy the position.
After dinner, everyone stopped reading and continued the poker battle. Although eight people can be divided into two tables of eighty, everyone has never played separately, they are all changed, and which one of them loses a game, they have to change to two other people.
It's a pity that Zhou Yi is still against Xu Hui, and the two guys almost never lose much together. Although everyone scolded Xu Hui for peeking and Zhou Yi for being skinny, they still had a lot of fun, but they just scolded and scolded, and they were addicted.
The four-day final exam quickly slipped through the cards played by Zhou Yi and others, and the winter vacation came. Conventionally, of course, I have to go to the Internet café two or three days before the holiday, in Gong Lei's words: How can I be worthy of the four days of hard work in the exam.
Of course, the current Zhao Haiyun was also damaged by Zhou Yi. In the past, as long as there was a weekend or a holiday, she would definitely go home very quickly, but now that she doesn't leave on Monday, she stays at school. Besides, her sister Zhao Haiting is now in her third year of high school, and classes are very tight, so even if Zhou Yi doesn't accompany her at school, she won't be very lonely.
On the night after the exam, of course, she followed Zhou Yi all night. Since following Zhou Yi all night a few times, Zhao Haiyun's overnight Internet is not as sleepy as before, and she can chat with those netizens all night. Zhou Yi's QQ came earlier than Zhao Haiyun, but Zhou Yi only had ten friends, but Zhao Haiyun already had nearly a hundred.
Zhou Yi doesn't like to chat, he would rather watch some news or watch some movies, and he also chats with others. In his previous life, QQ almost always communicated with some familiar classmates, and almost never talked to strangers.
After accompanying the dormitory people all night, Zhou Yi took Zhao Haiyun home. Since the last time Zhou Yi invited a group of classmates home for dinner, his parents had a very good impression of Zhao Haiyun, and Zhou Yi had to ask several times every time he went home, what is the situation of Zhao Haiyun's family, how is the relationship between Zhao Haiyun and Zhou Yi, how is Zhao Haiyun's study, and so on. It seems that the parents are already looking for a partner for Zhou Yi, and the target is Zhao Haiyun.
Zhou Yi decided not to go to the provincial capital this time, and the back and forth made his parents very unhappy, thinking that Zhou Yi always troubled Xu Li's family. Zhou Yi thought that this winter vacation was not a big deal, and the only thing about the NBA had been explained to Tang Ning.
Downing didn't deal with any stock-related matters now, but followed Monday's instructions to serve as a painless assistant general manager for the Rockets. But this Tang Ning was directly appointed by the Xinhua Group Company, so his rights are sometimes much greater than that of the general manager, Dawson.
Therefore, for the information transferred by Zhou Yi, of course, Tang Ning implemented it unconditionally, but when it came to Dawson, it was quite difficult. Although the ones listed on Monday are not superstars, it will take a lot of trouble to get them, such as Mutombo of the Hawks and Billups of the Timberwolves, but there are also people like Battier and Hayes who are not NBA players now. Dawson's hair turned a few gray when he saw Monday's roster.
But the most important thing at the moment is to complete the boss's instructions, that is, to rush to China to see what kind of player that Chinese Yao Ming is. Dawson put down the materials in his hand and began to prepare for his trip to China.
Two thousand years have passed in the frequent meeting between Zhou Yi and Zhao Haiyun, and the year 2001 of the lunar calendar has also arrived. I don't know why, for the Gregorian New Year, Zhou Yi always doesn't have too many feelings, but it is the Lunar New Year, and Zhou Yi feels that the New Year has finally arrived.
Zhao Haiyun was so happy that Zhou Yi could accompany her during this winter vacation, and she was full of happy smiles all day long. However, when she came home a few days after the Chinese New Year and saw her sister Zhao Haiting's sad appearance, she felt very sorry for her sister.
Although Zhao Haiyun sometimes thinks in her heart what she should do if her sister and Zhou Yi get along, she still believes that Zhou Yi will not give up on her, and Zhou Yi loves her. These thoughts are also full of sweetness in Zhao Haiyun's heart, and it seems that except for Zhou Yi, everything else is nothing in her eyes.
It's a pity that on the third day after the Chinese New Year, Zhou Yi still left home and went to the provincial capital. Lin Bingbing was angry, very angry, this dead Zhou Yi actually came to see her during the New Year, and she was holding back a vigorous fire in her heart. It is estimated that Zhou Yi is now in front of him, and she can pounce on it and bite off a piece of meat on Zhou Yi's body.
Zhou Yi didn't go to the provincial capital for Lin Bingbing, he was going to change the company's legal person this time. At first, he used his mother's ID card, but this time he wanted to change it to his own. Although it's his mother's ID card, it's no problem, but Zhou Yi has to do it after he knows this, so he should do it before no one knows that he is the boss.
Another important issue is that Liu Siyuan wants to go to the country of sticks to discuss the relevant matters of the supermarket, and Zhou Yi wants to discuss the opinions raised by the sticks with him. The last question, that is, the script has passed.
