Chris Cohan bought the Warriors in 1995 for 119 million US dollars, and after more than 10 years of operation, the Warriors' net asset value has increased by about three times, which is also a very successful investment, and whether the team's assets can continue to grow rapidly, Chris Cohan has no confidence, so when Harrison found him and quoted a purchase price of 450 million US dollars, Chris Cohan was moved, he just didn't give an answer on the spot, saying that he wanted to consider it, but in fact he was waiting for the price to sell, so, relatively speaking, buying the Warriors seems to be the most likely to do！

Luqiu is also quite confident in this, because in 10 years, Lacob and a group of partners bought the Warriors for only 450 million US dollars, and now three years in advance, aside from inflation, Luqiu feels that Chris Cohan will not refuse anyway, but the final result surprised him, after a period of consideration, Chris Cohan finally gave a refusal answer, on the grounds that he felt that he had not led the Warriors to a championship and did not want to sell the team with such regrets.

Well, Lu Qiu wants to send him three English letters, mmp!

You're a golf enthusiast who invests in warriors purely to make money, and now you're talking to me about championship ideals, it's just funny!

Of course, Lu Qiu didn't believe that this was Chris Cohan's reason, so he asked Harrison to figure it out, and then the result of Harrison's feedback made him even more angry, it was the league that made the ghost, because the alliance didn't want to accept Lu Qiu, so he let Chris refuse, of course, and at the same time, maybe promised some convenience, after all, they let Chris refuse for 450 million US dollars!

Lu Qiu, who figured out the ins and outs of the matter, was furious.

The NBA is discriminating against him!

Now that Chris has refused to sell the Warriors, it is useless to contact other teams, and it seems that the power of the league is still stronger than 450 million US dollars!

Well, in that case, I'll double up, and I'll see how much it will cost to get Chris to sell the Warriors despite the league's obstructions!

Luqiu came up and asked Harrison to quote a billion dollars, directly doubling the purchase price, but asked Chris Cohan to sign a contract before the start of the season and complete the handover, which can be described as very generous.

Chris couldn't hold it back.

A billion dollars! That's a billion dollars!

How can the empty promises of the alliance be compared to a billion dollars!

To say that capitalist society is good, money is supreme, as long as money is in place, then all obstacles cannot become obstacles!

Without saying a word, Chris Cohan turned his face with the league, saying that he accepted this condition and was willing to sell the Warriors, and said that it was because the league did not want Luqiu's controversial past to affect the image of the league that he was instructed to refuse to sell, in fact, he had long planned to sell the Warriors!

As soon as the news came out, public opinion was quite uproarious, and they were very dissatisfied with the league's administrative intervention in normal market transactions, of course, for Lu Qiu to spend one billion dollars to buy the Warriors at a super high premium, many people ridiculed, thinking that Lu Qiu was purely an upstart mentality, and buying the Warriors was not like basketball, but to show off or be a toy, this argument was caught and used by the league, and they gave the reason for refusing to accept the deal, that is, they believed that Lu Qiu did not seriously run the club, just to show off his wealth and play mentality, which is unacceptable to the league！

Well, I have to admit that the league is quite clever, because Luqiu's past really has no intersection with basketball, so it is really not good to suddenly buy a basketball club.

Even McCantz seized the opportunity to appear on camera, publicly declaring that Lu Qiu had insulted basketball players, and distorted the conflict with him into a confrontation between the two classes, which suddenly caused the media to deflect and began to criticize Lu Qiu, and the alliance's intervention in the sale of the Warriors became an extremely wise decision!

Things have come to this point, even if Lu Qiu is a reborn and has the ability to open a golden finger, he can't think of any way to turn the tide, the only thing he can think of is to wait for the subprime mortgage crisis to break out, many people are facing economic problems, it will naturally be very easy for him to buy a club, but it will take time, and he doesn't want to wait that long.

However, just when Luqiu thought that the plan to buy the team was about to die, the league took the initiative to contact him, expressing that there was negotiable room for buying the Warriors.

Lu Qiu couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in the alliance's gourd, so he personally came forward to talk to Stern.

The alliance attaches great importance to this negotiation, and it is directly the supreme leader David Stern who came forward to negotiate with Lu Qiu.

"David, I can't figure out how you, who have always been wise, can't see the benefits that my acquisition of the Warriors will bring to the league. ”

"Whether it's market development or the value spillover that high premiums bring to other teams, I think you should know these obvious things better than anyone else!"

Although Stern is just a dry little old man, he is much older than Lu Qiu in terms of age, and he has been in charge of the NBA all the year round, so he naturally develops the aura of a superior person, and in front of him with a serious expression, I am afraid that he can't say anything, you must know that there are some troublesome players in the NBA who were called by Stern to the president's office to talk, and those thorns are afraid of Stern, you can imagine how strong this old man's aura is!

But it's a pity that he is facing Lu Qiu today, a young man on the surface, but in fact he is a human being in two lives, and he is also the one who stands at the top of the pyramid, so when Lu Qiu called Stern's name David so lightly, Stern knew that this young man was at the same level as him, and he could not be neglected and neglected.

"Lu, the alliance is not my alliance, I always have to consider the opinions of the majority, and I have tried my best for you, this time I am here to talk to you about a compromise strategy. Stern seemed sincere.

"Compromise strategy? So the attitude of the alliance has changed?" Lu Qiu knew very well that the so-called alliance attitude was actually Stern's attitude.

"Yes, as Lu said, your acquisition of the Warriors can indeed bring a lot of benefits to the league, which is undeniable, the fear of the top management is that you are just holding the mentality of the game, and you don't have the intention of seriously running the club, which will bring a very bad example to other clubs, so we hope that Lu can prove that you are serious. ”

"Prove? How can you prove it? You won't believe my empty words, will you?"

"In fact, it is very simple to prove, we have discussed and decided that as long as Lu you promise to buy the Warriors, ensure that this season's record is not lower than last season, then we will agree to you to buy the Warriors, of course, relatively, if this season's record is not as good as last season, then there will be corresponding punishments. ”

"What punishment?"

"It's the alliance that wants to impose a fine of 400 percent of the purchase price on you. Stern looked at Luqiu and said calmly.

Luqiu was lost in thought, and Stern's words and his unusually calm demeanor made him sense something unusual.

The Warriors created the Black Eight Miracle last season and reached the second round of the playoffs, according to Stern, he also wants to ensure that the Warriors enter the second round this season, and if he can't do it, he will pay the league a fine of four billion dollars.

In Lu Qiu's memory, the Warriors in the 07-08 season are the best record in the lottery area in history, and the so-called lottery area is that the playoffs have not been made, because the West is too strong, and the competition is super fierce.

It's just a little strange, Stern doesn't seem to care very much about whether Luqiu will accept such an unequal treaty, he seems to be just routinely throwing out this condition, as for Luqiu to accept it or not, it doesn't matter, this attitude is a little strange.

Lu Qiu pondered for a moment and said, "David is asking me to sign a gambling contract, I learned it from Wall Street, and those people often use this kind of routine against my motherland." ”

At this point in time, many companies with overseas business in Huaxia, especially large enterprises, are often set up by Wall Street predators because they do not understand the VAM agreement, which leads to the loss of huge amounts of state-owned assets.

Stern joked: "Lu's homeland, China or Kenya? I really don't know." ”

This smacks of mockery.

Lu Qiu said: "The heart's desire is the motherland, but David you, as a Jew, can you be sure that your motherland is the United States, a country of immigrants?"

Stern was speechless, the Jewish group is indeed a bit special, race and country are so controversial, so in the face of the question thrown back by Lu Qiu, he wanted to answer decisively that the United States can't do it.

The corners of Lu Qiu's mouth provoked a strange arc, and said: "But my Gaelic baby is also Jewish, and believes in Judaism, I yearn for and admire Jewish culture very much, so David, I have decided to accept this gambling agreement, if I can't maintain last season's record, I am willing to be punished!"

"You accept this agreement?" Stern obviously didn't expect Lu Qiu to give such an answer, "You can accept such an agreement!" After blurting out, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly made up for it: "I mean Lu You really don't have to think about it carefully?"

Lu Qiu became more and more convinced that there was something going on here, but he had already made the decision to accept the bet anyway, but he was not unconditional.

"There's no need to think about it seriously, but I have one condition, as long as the alliance agrees, even if I really lose the bet, I will have no complaints!"

Stern cleared his throat: "What conditions?"

Lu Qiu said his conditions frankly.

Stern was dumbfounded, "What, are you sure that's what you're asking for?" he couldn't believe his ears.

Lu Qiu was determined and confident, "David, you heard it right, this is my only condition, as long as the alliance agrees, then we can sign a gambling contract!"

Stern stared at Lu Qiu, his eyes didn't move, and after a while, he let out a sigh and said, "You're really the craziest guy I've ever seen, I really don't understand, are you really going to take four billion dollars out to play games?"

Lu Qiu shrugged, "Maybe David, you think four billion dollars is a lot, but I think that compared to the happiness and satisfaction in my heart, even four billion dollars is nothing." ”

Stern was completely speechless, he felt that he was not at the same level as this Oriental man's brain circuit, okay, since you want to be a fortune boy yourself, then don't blame me for laughing politely.

Stern got up, stretched out his hand and said, "Then it's decided, the league has agreed to your conditions, and the gambling contract will automatically take effect after you successfully acquire the Warriors, is that okay?"

Lu Qiu shook it back, smiling as brightly as a summer flower, "Yes, I wish we all got what we wanted!"

Both laughed at the same time.

Negotiations to acquire the Golden State Warriors came to an end, and two days later, Luqiu and Chris Cohan officially signed a transfer agreement, and after paying a billion dollars in cash, the Golden State Warriors officially changed hands, and Luqiu officially became the owner of the Golden State Warriors!

After this news spread through various media, it set off a big wave of rendering in the United States!

The United States is a magical country, the American people are not very interested in various international events, but the trivial things that happen in their own families, one by one gossip, the NBA as the four major sports leagues, the Golden State Warriors are a team with a glorious past, such a team has changed hands, and the new owner is still an Asian who has caused countless controversies, which immediately attracted discussions from all walks of life.

The supporters basically coincide with Luqiu's fan group, for example, the cuteboy national support club has added a suffix, Golden State Warriors fan club, as for whether this group of fans and girls understand football, take Safina and her mother Carol as an example!

"Mum, Cute is the boss of the Warriors, it's crazy!"

"The owner of the Warriors? Is that a football team?"

"No, it seems to be a baseball team, but whatever, when there is a game, we will go to the Bay Area to support, and from now on, the Warriors will be my parent team!"

"Well, let you buy a season ticket quickly, always say that we don't like sports, and now that we do, he should be happy!"

…….

This is a very representative dialogue, basically Lu Qiu's fan mothers and sisters, whether they know the Warriors or not, as long as they have a relationship with Lu Qiu, they will support them unconditionally, just like they bought a peach mobile phone before, this situation has an appropriate term in later generations, called fan economy, of course, behind the fan economy, family pillars like Carol's husband and Safina's father, but in the face of the red and glamorous deficit on the credit card bill, I don't know how many times I cried in the toilet!

Fans support unconditionally, others don't have to.
