After the game, a local upscale nightclub in Charlotte.

The players of the two teams fighting on the field got together to talk and laugh, and each of them hugged the hot beauties around them.

This is a very normal way of life for NBA players, and most NBA players are born in slums.

Many people become NBA players and earn at least one million annual salaries a year, so they naturally can't adapt to the life of sudden wealth.

Many players are worth more than 100 million, and they are all squandered until they end up on the streets in the later stage.

What's more, some media have broken the news that there are NBA players who are so depressed that they regularly sell their sperm for a living.

Although Jordan is also more profligate, his IQ is much higher than that of the average black player.

The main thing is that many media continue to trumpet Jordan's basketball status, and Jordan's wealth is among the top among NBA players.

Harden, the little prince of the nightclub on the Rockets' side, certainly won't miss every opportunity to come to the nightclub.

It's just that Harden is much better now than before, at least Harden hasn't gotten involved with Khloe Kardashian anymore.

Harden was very warm and met with Soderlaide a few times, and Soderlaide took the initiative to ask Ying to come over to spy on the military.

Soderlaide casually asked, "James, haven't the Rockets made a deal yet?"

Harden was drinking and didn't care about it, and replied directly as if jokingly: "Patrick, you want to buy the Rockets?"

"No, I don't have that strength. ”

Soderlaide smiled and shook his head, but added in his heart, "My boss has this ability."

Harden toasted a few glasses with his teammates next to him and took a big sip before saying, "It's almost over, that greedy bastard Alexander's better get out of here." ”

Soderlaide chatted a few more words from Harden's side before taking his leave first.

Shen Lang is not interested in having more contact with these players, at most Harden's level can make Shen Lang pay attention to it.

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of these NBA bosses, Harden is just a senior worker.

It's just that Harden, their status and influence are something that these bosses can't easily ignore.

In a Maybach parked at the door of the nightclub, Soderride knocked on the glass before getting into the car and reporting to Shen Lang.

"Boss, Harden shouldn't be lying, I guess the deal is nearing the end, but there's still a chance. Soderlaide concluded.

Shen Lang smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, I know." ”

Soderlaide understood what Shen Lang meant, said goodbye to Shen Lang and got out of the car, and then watched Maybach leave.

As for the specific transaction, it must have nothing to do with Soderlaide,

Soderlaide is really curious if Shen Lang can buy the Rockets from his rivals?

……

Inside the Presidential Suite at a local five-star hotel in Houston.

Li Xiang glanced at Shen Lang a few times before saying, "Boss, do you mean that I want to find a way to persuade Alexander to sell Team Rocket to us?"

"Well, is there a way?"

Li Xiang nodded with a smile and said: "It's very simple, as long as we raise the offer, just like you said, the so-called board of directors of the NBA basically will not object."

The rest of the NBA leagues are probably even more desperate, so we just need to offer more than that Fertita and it's fine. ”

"Can you do it with $2.3 billion?" Shen Lang asked simply and rudely.

"Yes, I heard you describe that Fertitta's net worth is only $3.1 billion, and he must not blindly compete with us for a Rocket. ”

Shen Lang smiled: "Okay, just ask you to help me get this done, I hope the new boss of Team Rocket is me." ”

"I'm sure you'll get your way. ”

Li Xiang didn't stay long, and hurriedly ran to contact Alexander.

……

In a villa in a wealthy local neighborhood of Houston, Alexander met Li Xiang.

Alexander is a shrewd white old man, but he is 73 years old this year and is a little weak against the Rockets.

However, Alexander also has the goal of selling and cashing out as soon as possible when the market value of the Rockets is high.

Alexander looked at Li after expressing his intention and said, "Li, I've heard of your fame, and the EPIC acquisition is your handiwork, right?"

"I'm honored that you've heard of me, I think you already have the answer in mind, don't you?" Li Xiang said lightly as he sipped his coffee.

Alexander had already decided to sell the Rockets to Fertitta for $2.2 billion.

But now Li Xiang suddenly came to the door and offered Alexander an offer of $2.25 billion, and Alexander was instantly moved.

Alexander is one of the most stingy NBA owners, paying the luxury tax?

No, it's rare to see the Rockets take the initiative to pay the luxury tax.

Alexander is completely planning to quit the NBA, so he naturally wants to sell it for a higher price.

"Lee, thank you very much for your recognition, but Fertitta and I have already finalized our cooperation. Alexander hesitated.

After all, the deal with Fertitta is almost only one bill away, and the NBA Council and the league in the early stage have all said hello.

But now there is a Li Xiang, which makes Alexander a little entangled.

But reason told Alexander that he should choose Li Xiang, even if it was only 50 million dollars more, it would be a huge income.

"Okay, Alexander, you're really still so shrewd, $2.3 billion, it's the bottom line my boss gave me. ”

Lee wanted to know how greedy Alexander was, so he wouldn't have made an offer of $2.3 billion all at once.

Alexander's words of refusal came to his lips and swallowed back, this is an extra hundred million dollars!

Alexander was completely moved, made a gesture, and then took out the phone and called Fertita: "Tillman, I'm sorry, something happened now. ”

"Alexander, what do you mean by that?

I'm raising money right now, and you know it's struggling to buy the Rockets with my assets, and I'll be able to pay you in half a month at most. ”

Fertitta on the other end of the phone was a little dissatisfied.

The corners of Alexander's mouth curled: "That's right, there is a buyer who intends to buy the Rockets for $2.3 billion, I want to ask your opinion." ”

Fertitta on the other end of the phone was almost half angry, and of course he understood what Alexander meant.

What opinion can Fertitta have?

Fertitta knew very well that the old Alexander thing was forcing herself to rebid with the new seller!

"Alexander, are you sure you're going to do this? We've all filed a case with the Alliance. ”

Fertitta, of course, was not willing to shell out an extra $100 million.

"I'm sorry, but it's not for sale now, the owner of the Rockets is still me, and the league doesn't have the right to deprive me of the right to choose who I sell the team to. Alexander's tone didn't back down in the slightest.

Fertitta's voice was cold, "Alexander, are you sure you want to do this?"

"I still maintain the highest sincerity to you, and I will choose to sell to you first. ”

"Shet, die, you greedy bastard!"

Alexander hung up the phone calmly and smiled at Li Xiang: "Congratulations, Lee, you and your boss will have Team Rocket!"

For Alexander, Fertitta's outbursts were nothing.

As long as he can make more money, even if Fertitta scolds him to his face, Alexander will not care.

Well, Alexander felt like he was definitely good enough to stretch and bend.

Li Xiang smirked: "Okay, let's sign the contract, the alliance and the council need you to bother more." ”

"I will, Lee, I wonder when the boss behind you will be able to pay this money?" Alexander said with some anxiety.

Li Xiang said casually without care: "As long as the NBA league passes, we can pay immediately." ”

Alexander glanced at Li Xiang in surprise, compared to Fertitta, who needed to raise funds, the boss behind Li Xiang was terrifying!

That's 2.3 billion US dollars, and the other party actually said that he could pay it immediately, and Alexander looked at Li Xiang with a little more awe.

With Alexander signing the contract, Li Xiang signed the contract for Shen Lang, and now he is waiting for the NBA league to officially approve it.

At that time, Team Rocket will officially change hands, and the boss will also become Shen Lang!
