Golden State Warriors' home stadium, Oakland Arena, a collection room, Xu Qing and Golden State Warriors owner Ryan stand face to face.

Ryan is also a billionaire with a net worth of about a few hundred million dollars.

He is a big fan of the Golden State Warriors, having bought them from another family more than 10 years ago.

He bought the Golden State Warriors not to make money, but simply to own the Golden State Warriors and realize his childhood dream.

Originally, he didn't want to sell the Golden State Warriors, but since he took over the team, he has lost a lot of money.

Most of his net worth is fixed assets, and the team loses cash, which he can't bear.

The current NBA is far from developing as well as later generations, and the market is mainly concentrated in the United States, and there are almost no overseas markets.

Like Huaxia, which was later known as the NBA's second largest market in the world, it can only be watched by CCTV sporadically broadcasts.

The European market, not to mention, is the world of football.

In other overseas markets, the NBA's influence is also minimal.

The NBA's market in the United States is also not very good, the United States has four major sports leagues, and the NBA ranks last in terms of ratings, revenue, etc.

In fact, in later generations, the NBA only surpassed ice hockey and ranked third, and the United States was the world of the NFL and MLB.

Every NBA team in the future will hardly lose money, and even if it does, it is not really a loss.

Owners who own NBA teams usually have other industries that they can then make money from the influence of NBA teams.

In this way, it is equivalent to making money, and the obvious example is the Cavaliers in later generations, where the owner loses money on the team and other industries make money.

But if the current NBA team loses, it really loses.

The influence of the NBA is too weak, and the other industries of the team owner cannot be affected, so other industries cannot make money from the team.

According to the information that Xu Qing currently has, since Ryan took over the Golden State Warriors, he has lost more than $6 million in total.

$6 million doesn't sound like much, but Xu Qing's prize money for holding the annual meeting has already reached tens of millions of dollars.

But you must know that Xu Qing's net worth has reached tens of billions of dollars, and Lane's net worth is only a few hundred million dollars.

What's more, most of Ryan's net worth is fixed assets, and the team loses cash.

For a man like Ryan, who may have cash reserves of only tens of millions of dollars, the loss of more than $6 million is enough for him to be very painful, and even affect the capital chain of his shipbuilding industry.

In this context, Xu Qing proposed to buy the Golden State Warriors, and Ryan agreed to meet with Xu Qing without much hesitation.

Ryan did not directly agree to sell the Golden State Warriors to Xu Qing, saying that he wanted to see if Xu Qing really liked basketball and didn't want to sell the team to someone who didn't know basketball.

Before meeting Ryan, Xu Qing thought that Ryan's words were said out of face.

Now after meeting Ryan, Xu Qing believes that Ryan is telling the truth.

After Xu Qing and Ryan meet, Ryan takes him to a collection room.

In this room, Ryan showed him tickets to every Golden State Warriors game he watched from his childhood to the present, as well as a lot of memorabilia from the team.

The Golden State Warriors moved to San Francisco in 1962, and from the first year he moved, Ryan became a loyal fan of the Golden State Warriors.

Now, 33 years later, Ryan is also in his 40s this year.

After Xu Qing looked at Ryan's collection, he told Ryan why he liked basketball and how much he liked it.

Ryan looked at Xu Qing for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Mr. Xu, I believe you really like basketball, like the Golden State Warriors, to be honest, with Mr. Xu's net worth."

As long as the interest in basketball has always existed, I will not abandon the Golden State Warriors, and I am relieved to sell it to you. ”

Xu Qing was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Lane promised to sell the Golden State Warriors to me?"

Ryan nodded affirmatively and said, "I will sell the Golden State Warriors to you, but I have a small request, I hope you can agree." ”

"Mr. Lane has nothing to ask for. ”

Xu Qing muttered in his heart, there shouldn't be any messy requirements, for example, I have a beautiful daughter, I want to introduce you to you.

It turned out that Xu Qing was thinking too much, and Ryan said: "I want to play a game of basketball with Mr. Xu, right on the home court of the Golden State Warriors. ”

It turned out that I wanted to play a game of basketball with myself, and this request was too simple.

Xu Qing's current ball skills are very good, because now his physical fitness has been professionally trained by Carlyle for several years, although it is not as good as a professional basketball player, but it is much better than ordinary people.

Xu Qing's villa also has a basketball court, and Xu Qing usually plays 3-on-3 games with the bodyguards.

Those bodyguards are tall and strong, and their skills are also very good, at first Xu Qing was abused very badly, and later Xu Qing invited retired NBA athletes for special training.

Xu Qing's basketball skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and they are on par with Carlyle.

Some time ago, Xu Qing also organized a basketball tournament for employees of its three major group companies.

Xu Qing led a basketball team composed of ordinary employees, and finally won the championship, including the MVP.

Xu Qing dared to swear that it was definitely not those contestants who waterproofed Xu Qing because of Xu Qing's identity as the boss.

Xu Qing relied on his own strength to win the championship and win the MVP.

Well, that's just the way it is.

Since Ryan wanted to play a game of basketball with him, Xu Qing would certainly not refuse.

He hasn't played on the home court of the Golden State Warriors yet, so experience what it's like to be a fan of it.

When Xu Qing came to the court, he found that the situation was beyond his imagination.

It turned out that Xu Qing thought that he and the bodyguards formed a team, and Ryan's side formed a team with the team management, and then the two sides started fighting.

But after arriving at the court, Ryan pointed to the Golden State Warriors players who were training with a wicked smile on his face, and said to Xu Qing: "Mr. Xu, you and your bodyguards form a team, and my players and I form a team." ”

Xu Qing rolled his eyes: "Do you think this is fair, how can we beat professional players." ”

Although this year's Golden State Warriors players are very ordinary players, ranked in the middle and lower reaches of the NBA.

But the NBA gathers hundreds of the best players in the world to play basketball, and even the lowest players are much better than the average person.

"That's a pity, I wanted Mr. Xu to experience what it's like to play with a professional player, but now it seems that Mr. Xu needs it. Ryan looked regretful.

When Xu Qing heard Ryan's words, he really wanted to kill him.

Just now Ryan asked Xu Qing why he wanted to buy the Golden State Warriors, and Xu Qing said many reasons, one of which was to experience the feeling of playing with professional players.

As the owner of the team, it is natural for the players to play a game with the boss.

Xu Qing does want to play against professional players, but not now.

Now it's a proper abuse.

Well, as if you won't be abused in the future.

It's time to play a game.
