At the beginning of April, when the NBA regular season ended and the playoffs had not yet begun, an explosive news attracted media attention and continuous coverage.

Allen, the former founder of Microsoft, paid $70 million with a mystery buyer to pocket the 27-year-old Trail Blazers in Portland, Oregon!

The original owner of the Portland Trail Blazers claimed that Allen and the mystery buyer would also invest $100 million to set up a player reserve, ready to buy a big buy of strong players to help them win the next annual championship!

The day after the deal was struck, a large number of media workers showed up at the Portland Trail Blazers' practice ground, and Allen's spokesperson confirmed the news.

The New York Times: Will the acquisition of the Portland Trail Blazers by former Microsoft founder Allen with a mystery buyer change the fate of the underdog's long-term elimination in the NBA playoffs?

Wall Street Journal: Allen and the mysterious rich man bought the Portland Trail Blazers, and the NBA star salary will be greatly increased.

"Sandbreaker Times": Allen, a billionaire with an IQ of 170, joins the Portland Trail Blazers, does it mean that the NBA will enter the capital market as a whole?

Sports Illustrated: The capital giant has broken into the NBA, who is the next team to be acquired?

……

……

Dozens of newspapers on David's desk reported on the acquisition on the front page, and many speculations and doubts naturally made Gonzalez of [Dream Media] shake his head and smile bitterly.

David pushed the $30 million cashier's check from the treasurer, but at the moment Gonzalez wanted to pick it up, he held the check down and said with a smile. "That's 30 million, does your boss know what he's doing?"

Failing to twitch the promissory note, Gonzalez let go. "I will do whatever the boss says. I need to know that naturally I will sue my ......"

"He really didn't ask you to send someone to run and manage the team?"

"In the whole company, only me and the CFO know where the money is going and what it is buying, and the overseas company that Mr. Allen has set up will ensure that the investment of this money will not be known to the outside world. ”

David nodded and let go.

After taking out the seal and endorsing the promissory note, Gonzalez breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the promissory note back to David. "Allen's secretary had to come a little later because of a traffic jam, so I'm halfway through today's task, and the rest is to implement the start time for the filming of "The Princess Diaries......"

"Gonzalez, can you tell me why he insists on Julie Andrews in this movie, and he doesn't even hesitate to wait for the other party's schedule to change people?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Gonzalez sighed. "I once asked, and he said he liked Julie Andrews's movie The Sound of Music, so she must be needed in The Princess Diaries!"

"What? The Sound of Music? That's an old movie from 1966!"

"It's a ...... taken in 1965"

After being corrected by Gonzalez's time error, David's old face turned a rare red and signaled that Gonzalez could go and get busy.

Half an hour later, along with the secretary came in, in addition to Allen's secretary, there was also Allen himself.

David stood up to greet him, sat down and handed over the cashier's note, wondering. "Huh, didn't you mean it was just your secretary who came to get the promissory note?"

"Haha, I didn't expect it, right? Fortunately, I went out early, otherwise I would have been stopped by reporters......"

"The media has described you as a giant crocodile! I've heard that a lot of NBA stars are waiting for you to sign a check to buy them!"

What the Portland Trail Blazers need is financial support, and I think the $100 million reserve should be enough to build a dream team, and there should be no surprise......s in sweeping the NBA playoffs.

Seeing that Alan was full of confidence, David shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Allen! The big boss of the New York Knicks is the cable TV group, and it seems that the federal collection of the NBA luxury tax will be easier in the future......

"New York Knicks? haha! Although the cable group has money, they still need the team's profits, and for fans like me who buy the team out of interest, the cable group is no match for me!"

Waving his hand in disdain, Alan handed the endorsed cashier's note to his secretary and waited for him to leave the office, a little distressed. "David, the question is how to pick the right players, I don't know, what do you think?"

Dumbfounded, Davy was stunned for a moment, and then put on an incredulous expression. "Oh my God, didn't you have a plan before?"

"Yes, it's a pity that after communicating with the coach of the Trail Blazers, the list I made was rejected by him, and my financial advisor also said that if the players were purchased according to my list, even if we didn't talk about whether they could buy them, the luxury tax that I would need to pay every year would be astronomical......

"Who's on your list?"

"Jordan, Malone, Pippen, Brandon, ......"

After listening to Allen, David only smiled bitterly. "Allen, you take the All-Star roster from the first two years to buy, not to mention whether you can buy it, just the salaries of these people and the NBA luxury tax that needs to be paid for it, it costs you three to five billion dollars a year, which is considered cheap for you!"

"David! Question: These stars are the most powerful, if you don't buy them, do you buy those rookies?"

"Allen! That's not how the NBA plays! You took away all the All-Star lineups, and the other teams are still playing! You can't let the whole NBA win all the awards and honors in the end, right? You're not playing the NBA anymore, I think you're ready to completely 'play to death' in the NBA!"

Although David's tone was not good, Alan had already understood that his initial idea was really a bit whimsical, and he covered his mouth and was silent for a long time, and then asked if David would spare time in June next month?

"What, you want me to help you choose someone?"

"No, no, no, I'm going to let the team play a few friendly matches in Las Vegas, you're also a veteran fan, give me some advice!"

As soon as he heard that it was a friendly match, David's interest was greatly reduced. "Friendly matches, the confrontation will not be fierce, this kind of event is really not interesting......"

"I also invited Fu Zhengyi, he said he would take the time to come!"

"If he comes, then I'll be able to find time to come out! I have a lot of questions to talk to him!"

Seeing that David changed his words, Alan covered his mouth and couldn't stop laughing.

Feeling a little embarrassed, David glared. "What?

"No! He's going to have to pay over $100 million for the Portland Trail Blazers anyway, and the outside world doesn't know he's the owner of the team, but I can't really use his money and not let him know the team's status!"

With a hot face, David got up and took out a timetable from the drawer of his desk, looked at it, and asked. "Alan, what exactly is the start of the friendly match?"

It was supposed to start on the 25th of June, which lasted six days, and Fu Zhengyi said that he was trying to be able to participate because it was close to the final exam. In addition, I told him that he was going to take Pippen down first, and for this he said that if it was done, he would definitely come over even if he asked for leave!"

"Final exams? Haha! I don't understand why this kid is still in school. But you're talking about Pippen, Scottie, Pippen, and the Bulls' Scottie Pippen."

"Well, my first target is him, but labor disputes and his personality are my more headaches. Barkley's character is my favourite, but he's not in good shape......"

When it comes to these NBA stars, David is far clearer than Allen, and he asked him for the list of 'Dream Team', and after talking about it, he handed over the schedule he had just taken out of the drawer. "Allen, there is an auction at the MGM Grand Hotel on the 27th, it is said that there will be many works of Dadaism, even a forgotten work by Man Ray, I believe that even without your invitation, Fu Zhengyi would have come to participate in this auction organized by Christie's auction house!"

"Ahh

"Well, it's just that I can't comment on his intentions, I'd rather he buy something really collectible, real art, than some Dadaist collage, or a dry branch with oil paint, or a smashed toilet, a crumbled old rocking chair......"

It was so funny to hear what David said that Alan couldn't help but laugh. "Dadaism has promoted the development of surrealism, Dadaism is not as bad as you say, many Dadaist works are still appreciating in value, I remember Man Ray's "A Girl and Her Five Tears" was estimated at more than two million dollars, and the owner is said to still refuse to sell ......."

"That's why I insist on the wealth appreciation brought by collecting art, which will definitely exceed that of any other industry, but unfortunately there are too few people who are willing to listen to my persuasion, and they will definitely regret it in another ten years!"

Yesterday, the [FL Americas Investment Management Company] managed by Tony in New York announced the latest net value, the net value of the first phase increased by eight percentage points in more than a month, and the net value of the second phase increased by six percentage points, if you can maintain such a net worth increase rate, unless you hold the "Mona Lisa" or a similar collection, you will never understand the power of 'compound interest'!"

"What? The net value of the first and second phases is only two percentage points apart?"

Taking out the net value of the fund announced by FL Americas Investment Management in New York from his bag, Alan handed it over with a smile. "David, my financial advisor called me before I came, saying that he had received a call from the investment advisor of Jiamei Bank, asking if I was still ready to buy the third installment of the product!"

"Buy! must buy! Such a high yield is simply appalling, I want to call immediately!"

David stood up with a look of urgency that Amused Allen...... (To be continued.) )
