Chapter 433 Two Calls

"Hey, David, he agreed to buy the Portland Trail Blazers with me! Oh my God, I just saw a basketball and casually mentioned it, and he readily agreed after asking a few questions......

Hearing that it was Allen's voice, David, who turned on the bedside lamp and sat up from the bed, glanced at the clock, and saw that it was only half past one in the morning, and muttered in great depression. "Alan, it's half past one o'clock at night, will it make you happy to disturb my rest?"

"David, don't say that, do you know how excited I am right now? Our discussion was only ten minutes at most, but he chose to believe what I said! Mind you, yes! He didn't even know what the Portland Trail Blazers were like, how much an NBA team should be worth, and the series of problems that would have to be faced after buying a team! He just listened to me briefly explain the idea, and he was very happy to promise to share half of the cost!"

"Huh, half?"

"yes, and he also said that he would be willing to provide higher reserves to buy better players so that the Portland Trail Blazers can compete for the NBA championship next year......

Hearing this, David woke up completely. "Championship-competing? Did I hear me right? The Portland Trail Blazers last won a championship twenty years ago! How much money is he going to pay with you to smash into it?"

"I calculated that it would be possible to buy a team of 60 or 70 million at most, and then build up a player reserve of 100 million US dollars, and I think it should be possible to build a strong team......

"Allen!The NBA is not a pure competition for money! no one dares to say that as long as you throw money into it, you will definitely win the championship in the playoffs, this is unrealistic......"

Alan, who was standing by the hotel window, scratched his head. "Seems to be the same...... But why did I think what he said made sense when we were chatting before......"

"What? Could it be that in the end you were persuaded by justice?"

David's exclamation made Alan think for a moment and react. "yes! I was only thinking about buying the team so that the Portland Trail Blazers wouldn't be so embarrassed in the playoffs, but I didn't think about competing for a championship title in the first place......

"Hahaha! A pure layman can actually confuse you, oh my God! It's funny......"

David's hearty and exaggerated laughter made Allen's face feel a little hot, and he finally understood why he had always felt that today's meeting seemed a little strange on the way back to the hotel, but he didn't realize that he felt strange because of anything!

It turned out to be because of this!

After the young man promised to buy and develop the Portland Trail Blazers with him, he was so impressed by the prospect that he had described, and even finally believed in the idea that "as long as you are willing to spend money, you can get a championship!"

Allen's silence convinced David that what he guessed must be the truth, so he laughed more and more.

Feeling that the laughter was really harsh, Alan drooped his face. "David!The box office share of "Shrek" is the source of funds that Fu Zhengyi used to buy the team with me and build a player reserve, remember that when I return to China to sort out a box office number, my secretary will go over to get a check!"

"What? Fu Zhengyi actually used the box office share to partner with you to buy the team? Is he crazy?"

"This is what he said himself, and I was also strange, so I asked him why, and he told me that only the box office share is the funds he can use at will, and even if he buys the team and loses everything, he won't be hurt......"

David sighed heavily. "Alan, I finally think your idea of buying a team is simply terrible! I discussed with Jeffrey that I would use the money to expand the center first, but because of one of your mentions, DreamWorks will need to pay additional bank interest for this fund!"

"Huh? DreamWorks is supposed to pay justice to the box office that you withhold?"

"Yes, the contract signed before only agreed on the approximate payment time, but it did not stipulate that DreamWorks could not withhold the funds and turn them around first......"

Hearing this, Alan finally felt better. "Hahaha! David, you and Jeffrey are so bad! You have used concealment and delay in this kind of matter, Fu Zhengyi is a very good young man, you shouldn't treat him like this!"

A silent wry grin grewned, and after a moment David said leisurely. "Alan, don't forget, you are also a shareholder of DreamWorks! What I did with Jeffrey was to increase DreamWorks' profits, and even if you are only a financial investor, the proportion of shares you occupy is not low, and without the reduction of interest caused by box office interception, I believe that by the end of the year, your dividends will be reduced by millions of dollars!"

"Uh...... Okay, then I will retract what I said before, for the development of DreamWorks, you and Jeffrey have done a good job, if DreamWorks can start making profits in advance, I will keep my promise to dilute my shares in advance and increase your ...... in DreamWorks."

"Alan, DreamWorks is a factory that makes and realizes dreams, and it doesn't matter to me how much voice I have, that's what you know......"

David ended the call with Alan in a very euphemistic way, but he immediately called Fu Zhengyi and asked him why he went crazy with Allen?

was blocked in the bus on the viaduct again, and Fu Zhengyi was helpless when he heard that it was David's voice. "David, what Allen said is very reasonable, the investment he chooses is an industry that will never be eliminated, and whether he makes money after participating is another matter, but at least I want to take a photo with that NBA star and ask for an autograph, isn't it simple?"

"What? That's why you're willing to pay over $100 million?"

"That's not just the reason, Allen said that if I can win the championship in the playoffs, not only the team's endorsement fee and advertising fee will increase significantly, but even the player's transfer fee income will also increase......

"I think you're really crazy! I need to talk to you! Alan has a lot of money and has nowhere to spend it, but are you now at the point where you can waste as much as he wants, and you don't need to worry about the level of return on investment?"

The roaring sound coming from the mobile phone made the people standing next to Fu Zhengyi standing on the bus try their best to avoid him, and when they noticed that the carriage became quieter, Fu Zhengyi lowered his voice. "David, I'm stuck in traffic, and your accusations make me look very embarrassed......"

"Don't change the subject!"

Sighing, Fu Zhengyi said helplessly. "David, do you think it makes sense for me to have to compete with Bill to see who has more wealth?"

David was stunned.

A concept flashed through his mind, and in vain he realized that the young man seemed to be really rich.

As far as I know, there are Bayside Securities and Camry Bank in San Francisco, as well as FL North America Venture Capital Company, which has an unknown investment project, FL Foundation, which owns nearly one-third of Yahu's shares, Dream Media, a company in the media industry, and FL Americas Investment Management in New York!

And all of the above companies are only the part of this young man who has been exposed by the "San Francisco News", so how many assets he has not been exposed are not clear at all!

The most important thing is that he is bent on confronting the French billionaire Pinot Junior because of a few beast heads, and this kind of confidence requires a lot of liquidity to do.

"Well, I'm sure you're as good as Alan

"What? Alan is willing to cut his stake in DreamWorks?"

David, who was interrupted from his train of thought, frowned, but after thinking about it, since this young man has the wealth to buy the team in partnership with Allen, he really needs to elevate the other party to the same level as himself.

"Covers!DreamWorks' equity Allen can be transferred, but it is limited to financial investment, even if Allen transfers all his equity to you, you can't dictate the operation and management of DreamWorks......"

"No problem! as long as DreamWorks doesn't lose all of it, then I would very much like to have a title like 'Honorary Chairman of DreamWorks'!"

Spirited, David laughed. "Aha! As long as you uphold this idea, I believe that the doors of countless enterprises will be open for you! It's a pity that you are a Chinese person, otherwise many companies will take the initiative to ask you for such a position......

Knowing what David was vaguely saying, seeing that the bus had finally started, Fu Zhengyi asked how much profit "Shrek" could bring to [Dream Media] at present?

"At present, the box office of the North American market has reached 160 million US dollars, thanks to your previous insistence on maintaining a high proportion of shares with the theater chain, the rights and interests belonging to [Dream Media] are about 120 million, and the profits from overseas box office and movie derivatives are not included, I estimate that the global box office is more than 400 million, it should not be a big problem......

A purely digital film, deducting the cost, can make you reap nearly five times the benefits, which is really not high in terms of the efficiency of capital use.

It's just that hearing the thick envy and jealousy in David's tone, Fu Zhengyi felt that it was better not to be too calm...... (To be continued.) )
