Chapter 375: Arena

Oakland regularly ranks among the nation's most unsafe cities, with a violent crime rate of more than 1,400 per 100,000 people, about 100 murders a year, and a high poverty rate. In general, when living in an American city, you just need to know where not to go. But in Auckland, you have to know where to go. Oakland can go to the rich and university towns, here is full of police, go to the rest of the place must bring dozens of dollars in cash before going out, if you encounter a robbery, obediently give money and leave, otherwise you may not be able to save your life. Such a stadium environment has a big disadvantage in attracting fans to the game, but San Francisco, which is famous for its Bay Area, has one of the highest concentrations of the world's wealthy. Zhou Shi is one of the representatives of the Bay Area anyway, so his team's move to San Francisco is a smooth thing.

In addition to those reasons, the main thing is that Zhou Shi's idea of changing the name of Oracle Stadium to Fruit Shell Stadium has come to naught, damn Larry Ellison, Zhou Shi really wants to pit David Ellison and let Larry know his strength.

However, changing the court is not a simple matter, and it also requires the consent of the NBA league and the city where the new court is located, and the original fan reaction should not be too violent. It can be said that this is not an ordinary investment behavior, but a symbolic social behavior. Luckily, Oakland and San Francisco are not far apart, and the team has historically moved from San Francisco to Oakland. So relatively speaking, the pressure is not very great, at least far less than the pressure on the Cavaliers to change their home court. However, the cost of the new stadium is relatively huge, and it will cost more than 100 million yuan to renovate it, and how can the new stadium cost 560 million US dollars, and how to get this money is also a problem. Without the support of the record, there will not be many people who are optimistic about the Warriors, and those who lend, sponsored, and invested should be very cautious when the subprime mortgage crisis has not passed. You know, although a hugely expensive stadium is a real estate project, most of the revenue still depends on the attractiveness of NBA teams.

Changing pitches is a strategic plan and is not rushed, but the development of the team really cannot be stopped.

"Do you have any grasp of the introduction of Yi Jianlian?" Zhou Shi asked Lacob

"It shouldn't be a big problem, Yi's ability has not reached the point of indispensability, and with Yao in the NBA, his role is much smaller. "Lacob

"Yes, but after having me, it should be different! If the Golden State Warriors can be made into the second home team of China and the second traffic center of the NBA in China, I think David Stern should be very happy!"

"At least I won't object" Lacob smiled, Zhou Shi is a Chinese, although he did not advertise that he has moved into the Golden State Warriors, but this season everyone's attention to the Warriors has increased significantly. But in general, no one watches a football game for a certain boss. However, if there is a Chinese owner and a Chinese player, it may not be impossible to shift everyone's attention to the Golden State Warriors, and as the team's results improve, it may be possible to fix a large part of the fans.

Both Zhou Shi and Lacob have a lot of confidence in their future results, and the Warriors are destined to play small-ball, and if Yi Jianlian can improve his three-point shooting percentage, he may not be able to become a star. It's much easier to get Yi Jianlian than it is to get Yao Ming, although his second year with the Nets was his peak, with a total of 52 appearances, averaging 12 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. But he was injured when he arrived in the NBA, and he has a record of 6 injuries so far, and in the eyes of the media, he is a proper glass physique. If the Nets had a choice, they would probably want to choose a better one. A year later, the Nets abandoned Yijianlian, and it was not for nothing that they were abandoned. I don't know if Yi Jianlian can play in the Warriors after the main small ball, Zhou Shi thinks about it, although the injuries continue, but Yi's spirit should not be lost, if he continues to work hard and progress in an environment suitable for his growth, he may not be able to succeed. And Stevens has a reputation for being good at nurturing new people, and is good at using all kinds of people. From this point of view, the hope of success of Yijianlian is even greater.

"Simon, did you really buy the Liverpool Football Club in the United Kingdom?" There are more and more rumors on the Internet about Zhou Shi Lu He's acquisition of Liverpool, and it was also announced that it was Liverpool acquired by Fengyun Sports, so Zhou Shi was naturally contacted. And there is a key factor that proves this, Liverpool and Rafael Benitez did not renew his contract, as a coach who helped Liverpool create a legend, it is hard to believe that the club's hierarchy would abandon Benitez. So why didn't the contract be renewed?

"Yes, the agreement has been signed, but I won't be going to Liverpool as chairman anytime soon. "Zhou Shi

"I can understand that when you bought Yelp, you probably want to make a difference on the Internet!"

"Yes, I'm a little unwilling!" Zhou Shi didn't know where he was unwilling, if he withdrew from this changing world, would he be disappointed?

"I can understand that at your age, there are so many ideas in your head that you have to come true. Even if you can invest in others, you can't compare to yourself in person. Many people have ideas to change the world, but only a few people in the world can do it. Bill Gai, Steve Jobs can do it, and I believe in the Internet age, you can do it too. "Joracob

Zhou Shi shook his head and did not refute, perhaps in the eyes of others, he is changing the world of the Internet, social networks and Twitter are closely related to him, YouTube is promoted and developed by him, although Meimeijian's media does not praise him too much, but in fact, more and more people in Silicon Valley admire him. The more technical geniuses who are willing to join Zhou Shi's team, the more they come. But in fact, most of what Zhou Shi did was to make decisions based on the direction of development in his previous life, and then choose the right person to help him develop. Zhou Shi himself is neither good at management nor good at technology, if he is not in the position of the boss, he will not be able to achieve anything. In the face of countless Silicon Valley elites, he really doesn't have much pride right now.

"And what are you willing to buy Liverpool?"

"The main purpose is to promote the big data analysis of Fengyun Sports, which is a project in cooperation with Time Lab, hoping to gradually expand from the exercise of athletes to the exercise of the general population, and promote the health concept of national sports. "Zhou Shi

"Ordinary people's workouts?" said Joracob

"Hey, I really didn't expect that I invested in basketball because I love basketball, but your eyes have been set on the development of the whole human race. "Lacob

"How can there be, there are still so many poor people in the world who are not in my mind, how to exercise for people who can't eat enough. "Zhou Shi

"You can't do everything well, I think your biggest shortcoming is that you want to do everything well, which is not good, you should learn to let go and choose key areas to make key breakthroughs. "Lacob

"You mean?" Zhou Shi asked, puzzled.

"KPCB's investigation of your industry found that you want to cover almost the entire upstream and downstream industry chain of mobile phone production, which is not a good choice for a start-up, and the development of Guoke may be greatly limited. "Lacob

"Oh!
