Chapter 151: Teasing
David Stern, who had been watching the two of them all the time, saw the two smiling and toasting, especially the sunny smile on Sid's face, and immediately realized that the deal was likely to be done. After saying goodbye to his friends, he came to Sid and the others.
"How's the talk, two?"
Chris Cohan smiled helplessly, "It seems that the league is already a world for young people." ”
"Whether it's an alliance or a business district, we need old and serious seniors like you and Mr. Stern. Sid raised his glass and said to David Stern with a smile, "Of course, I think we still need the consent of the Alliance. ”
"Absolutely. David Stern said happily, shaking Chris Cohan's hand warmly, "Chris, thank you for your contributions to the league over the years, I won't forget your help." ”
"Thank you. Chris Cohan couldn't help but sigh secretly, he also knew that he hadn't done much with the Warriors over the years, and even Stern, the president of the league, was looking forward to the benefits and attention brought by the addition of a young man like Steer.
Although Chris Cohan and Sid only reached a verbal agreement, the matter was settled in the eyes of the three of them, and all that remained was for Chris Cohan's men and Sid's subordinates to sign the final contract and documents.
After the three of them stood together and chatted for a while, Chris Cohan left first, and after he left, David Stern couldn't help but ask impatiently: "Now that the Warriors' affairs have been settled, what are you going to do next?"
Sid smiled slightly, "I'm a perfectionist, David. Now that the toy is in my hands, I'm certainly not going to just use it as a generic sign, and the playoffs and championships will be the real focus of the Warriors next. ”
"Good, good. David Stern couldn't help but nod happily when he heard Sid's words that did not hide his ambition, "You young people are energetic and energetic, and I hope that there will be more young people like you in the alliance, so that we can do better." ”
David Stern has obviously seen that the situation of the Lakers and Spurs that has formed in the NBA has made the NBA games a little boring, and the lack of suspense and entertainment is certainly not conducive to attracting fans for a long time.
Therefore, bringing in a young rich man like Sid who is young and rich and not short of money, playing a vote of gold dollar basketball, muddying the waters of the league, multipolarity is better than being a single family, this is definitely what David Stern is happy to see, although he doesn't really know the stalk of "gold dollar basketball".
"David, I've fulfilled my promise, so ...... next," Sid asked with a smile.
"The first pick in the first round of next year's draft, I know, don't worry, I'll definitely help you get this favor. David Stern swears.
The draft system was already in the hands of the league officials, and Sid also increased the NBA broadcast fee, which is equivalent to giving money to the owners of various teams for free, and it is difficult for them to refuse Sid's one-time request.
After a few more words, Sid and David Stern said goodbye to each other, there are a lot of political and business celebrities present today, and most of them are well-known figures on the West Coast, so neither Sid nor David Stern will spend tonight entirely on a team deal.
Seeing Sid come over, Britney and Lindsay, who were chatting and laughing with a group of young men and women, couldn't help but stop, and they both looked at each other, and the young men and women around them couldn't help but look at Sid.
Sid knew what they were waiting for, and he curled the corners of his mouth slightly, "Honey, it looks like we're going to see a basketball game in San Francisco in the future." ”
"Wow!" "Wow-"
Everyone immediately let out a small exclamation, Britney and Lindsay immediately hugged Sid with a smile, and the young men and women next to them also congratulated Sid.
These young men and women are the sons and nephews of the political and business tycoons at the party, and the elders take them to such high-class parties, not only to come out to see the world, but also to let them establish more connections.
But today they saw the legendary creature - someone else's child.
By the time they had to rely on their parents to attend such a party, Sid had already become the youngest team owner in the history of the NBA!
Even if the Warriors are not very valuable, but it is also a transaction of one or two hundred million dollars, look at Sid's expression of indifference, God, it is really envious and hateful.
Fortunately, their parents are not around now, otherwise they are afraid that they will have to say something like chanting scriptures, "Why can't you learn from others?" and other things that hurt their self-esteem.
Huh——, It's really not easy to live by this kind of guy.
A group of young rich second generation and political second generation couldn't help but look at Sid who was "hugging left and right" with envious eyes.
After chatting a few more words, Sid and the three of them left this small group of the second generation, not that Sid looked down on people, but they really couldn't talk together.
Don't look at them the same age, but those are all second-generation elements, and Sid and them are out-and-out founding generations, you can't expect Mark Zuckerberg to be in the same pot with the onions.
"Hey, Sid!" As soon as he walked out of the second-generation camp, Sid was stopped by another old acquaintance, "I heard that you bought the Warriors basketball team?" Larry Ellison took his young and beautiful new girlfriend and formed a small circle with Jerry Buss, the patriarch of the Buss family, the owner of the Lakers, and his daughter Jeanie Buss.
"You've got a good ear, Larry. Sid couldn't help but roll his eyes and said angrily.
"Don't divert the conversation and say, did you buy the Warriors?" said Larry Ellison smiled and patted Sid on the shoulder.
"Yes, just talked. Sid shrugged and nodded.
"Good boy, fast enough to steal my business at my doorstep, I originally thought about buying the Warriors. Larry Ellison scolded, laughing.
"I know, this person is getting older, and it is inevitable that his movements will slow down. Sid smiled and patted Larry Ellison on the shoulder.
"Go, go, I'm still young!" Larry Ellison was suddenly unhappy, he smiled and slapped Sid's hand away, "Then I will rely on you to watch the football ticket in the future." ”
"Okay, I've got it all. Sid smiled and shrugged.
