North Carolina is famous in the United States, especially where several of the NCAA's biggest teams are located.

Duke University and the University of North Carolina are the two giants of the NCAA.

There is also an NBA team in North Carolina, and that is the Charlotte Hornets, and Jordan is the small owner of this team.

Soderlaide specially invited Shen Lang to watch a Charlotte Hornets game.

Michael Jordan, known as the god of basketball, chatted with Soderlaide for a few words and walked to the edge of the court to watch the game.

This is the first time Shen Lang has come to the NBA to watch the game, but Shen Lang's eyes are exceptionally calm.

When it comes to atmosphere, Charlotte Hornets' home stadium is far from Liverpool's.

Shen Lang prefers to watch the game at Liverpool's home stadium, and the crazy energy of the fans in the stadium is indeed more shocking.

Soderlaide whispered into Shen Lang's ear: "Boss, the Hornets have a bad record, basically there is no hope of finishing at the bottom of the playoffs all year round, and this year is estimated to be about the same." ”

Shen Lang used to be a fan of the NBA, and he has to admit that the NBA's excavation of the Chinese market is indeed not comparable to the football league.

Many teams in the NBA have made a lot of money by relying on the Chinese market.

In contrast, only a few big teams in foreign football clubs can occasionally come to play two games, and the degree of care for the Chinese market is much worse.

The main point is that it is difficult for many foreign giants to get together and be managed by the league like the NBA.

Basically, football clubs are fans of the giants' own operation of the Chinese market, which is undoubtedly much worse than the overall operation of the NBA.

Liverpool has attracted the attention of domestic fans this season, and the reason is naturally that Liverpool's owner is a Chinese, or Shen Lang, who has attracted much attention in China.

Thinking about Liverpool, Shen Lang was a little interested in seeing this Charlotte Hornets.

Soderlaide watched it with interest, and from time to time he raised his arms and shouted a few times.

Suddenly, Soderlaide turned his head to look at Shen Lang with some embarrassment and said, "Sorry boss, I was a little too involved just now." ”

"That's not a problem, I just think there are fans around you who want to kill you. ”

Just now, Soderlaide kept cheering for the Rockets at the Hornets home court, and Shen Lang had already seen Michael Jordan's murderous eyes from time to time.

"Uh, is there one?"

Soderlaide touched his head and said a little embarrassed: "I'm a Harden fan, boss, do you want to meet Harden?"

Shen Lang looked at the bearded man on the field who seemed to be omnipotent, and smiled: "Team Rocket seems to be selling?"

Soderlaide seemed to know a lot about the Rockets, and shook his head when he heard this: "It's a step away, but it's basically over." ”

"How?"

"That Alexander guy isn't ready to continue to own the Rockets, and NBA teams are appreciating faster than they can on the Rockets.

However, the Rockets are still very popular, but the Alexander guy is a bit dark, and now it is said that he has offered $2.2 billion, and the other party is raising funds. ”

Soderlaide suddenly reacted, looked at Shen Lang and couldn't help but say, "Eh, boss, you don't have any thoughts about Team Rocket, do you?"

"One point, did you say that if I plan to buy it, is it difficult?" asked Shen Lang ambiguously.

The corners of Soderlaide's mouth twitched, his boss is really powerful, the Rockets are priced at $2.2 billion, and his boss still plans to buy it.

"It shouldn't be difficult, to be honest, it's all about money right now, the buyer is called Fertitta, and his net worth is only $3.1 billion, and the Rockets are still quite under pressure to spend $2.2 billion. Soderlaide analyzed.

Soderlaide hesitated: "According to my contacts and friends, Rocket boss Alexander is a greedy guy.

As far as I know, there was originally a rich man who was interested in the Rockets, which is why Fertitta's offer was so high. ”

Soderlaide has said everything that needs to be said, and now the deal between Fertitta and Alexander is basically a payment short.

If Shen Lang wants to make a hindrance from it, it will definitely not work if he does not raise the offer.

Shen Lang thought for a while and said, "I know, I'll find someone to contact Alexander, I heard that the acquisition of a team still has to be approved by the NBA Board of Governors?"

Soderlaide nodded: "That's true, but basically as long as you don't move the Rockets out of Houston and cause fan protests, other owners won't get in the way."

And the NBA guys probably want you to accept it.

You are a Chinese, if you can become the owner of the Rockets team with a history of Chinese players.

That would be very beneficial for the NBA to open up the Chinese market. ”

Saying that, Soderlaide said with some interest: "If you can invite Yao back to serve as a director or something, I think the Rockets still have a lot of room for appreciation." ”

Soderlaide is a fan of the Rockets and a professional CEO himself, and he is even more familiar with the NBA's operating methods.

Shen Lang was thoughtful, and Sodlaide didn't dare to disturb, watching the game quietly.

The Charlotte Hornets are a team of fish belly, and when they meet Paul and Harden, who have just formed a "light bulb combination", they are simply at the mercy of the Rockets.

Harden and Paul played three quarters before clocking out on time, leaving the Rockets' bench to continue to ravage the Charlotte Hornets.

Shen Lang saw that Jordan was also a little unbearable to look at directly, chatting with a female friend beside him, and it was estimated that he would be depressed after watching the ball for a while to get up and vent.

At the end of the game, the players from both sides returned to their respective locker rooms.

Many fans have already defected to cheer for the Rockets, and in fact they are more disappointed with the Hornets.

But the Hornets just can't hold up the wall in the mud, and when they encounter the Rockets, who have had a terrible record since the start of this season, the fish belly attribute was completely revealed.

Jordan also walked over with the hotter woman next to him, and Shen Lang glanced at the aesthetics that did not meet his own, except for a pair of huge headlights, there were no other highlights.

"Patrick, who is this?"

Jordan walked over and asked with a smile on his swarthy face showing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Michael, this is my boss, you know me, now I've changed companies. ”

“epic？”

Jordan couldn't help but spread his hands and said helplessly: "Fortnite is cool, our whole team loves it, but I've ordered that players are forbidden to play Fortnite before the game, that will make them lose their fighting spirit." ”

"Hey Michael, that's what's wrong with you, you can't stop any player who is loyal to Fortnite. Soderlaide joked with a smile.

"Come on, our team averages at least $10,000 in Fortnite. ”

Jordan and Soderlaide have also crossed paths in business before, and their friendship is okay.

Now Soderlaide is a step up from when he was at EA, and Epic is the upstart in today's gaming industry.

Soderlaide is naturally more valued by Jordan, but Jordan is more curious about Shen Lang.

Jordan couldn't believe that a young man in his twenties was the boss behind Epic?

Isn't that incredible?
