Chapter 77: Chinese son-in-law
On February 23, at the 9th National Congress of the Chinese Basketball Association, B legend superstar Yao Ming was unanimously elected chairman.
As the chairman of the Basketball Association, can Yao Ming still be an investor in the Shanghai men's basketball team?
From the day it was rumored that Yao Ming might become the chairman of the Basketball Association, the majority of fans had such doubts in their hearts. Yesterday, Yao Ming chose to give up his identity as Boss Yao: "I will look for a new investor with enthusiasm for the club, and before next season, this matter must be decided." ”
"As the owner of the club, he shouldered the basketball business of a city, and now he chooses to carry the responsibility of the basketball industry of the whole China. For the young Yao Ming, it takes a lot of courage and faith. Duan Xiang, a senior sports figure in Shanghai, said that in order to play a more important role in the development of Chinese basketball and even Chinese sports, Yao Ming made a trade-off between different identities.
Many people say that Yao Ming can actually stay at the club. Previously, a B coach had said that Yao Ming did not need to give up the Shanghai men's basketball team, since it was a reform, the General Administration and Yao Ming should have a mutually acceptable plan.
Xinhua News Agency reported that the Basketball Association belongs to the substantiation of the association, and Yao Ming is not an official, but an industry leader. Some people in the legal profession have proposed a "legal" solution, and Yao Ming can circumvent this problem by working around. Because the legal representative in the company registration document can be changed to a close person such as his parents or spouse, and realize the shareholding and registration of the company on behalf of Yao Ming.
But in order to avoid suspicion, Yao Ming still chose to focus on the overall situation.
Giving up on the "big shark" is a difficult choice. In July 2009, Yao Ming invested in the acquisition of the Shanghai Sharks Club, the home team that had cultivated himself and played for many years, saving the Shanghai men's basketball team from dire straits. After taking over the team, "Boss Yao" has been using his professional ability to do his best to lead the team to success.
Although it was swept out of the semifinals of the playoffs, the Shanghai men's basketball team has performed well this season, due to Yao Ming's maturity and wisdom as a manager, the signing of two strong foreign aides before the season, Fredette and Yabusele, and the patiently cultivated local lineup have also blossomed, so that the Shanghai men's basketball team has been able to accumulate in the league this season.
Even so, the team still respects Yao Ming's choice. Yesterday, the official Shanghai Oriental Basketball Club congratulated, "As a member of Chinese basketball and one of the 20 teams in the B League, the Shanghai men's basketball team is well aware of the long way to go in the reform of Chinese basketball and the B League, and we will continue to fully support the work of the Chinese Basketball Association and look forward to a better tomorrow for Chinese basketball!" ”
Yao Ming's sale of the Shanghai men's basketball club is a foregone conclusion, and people are now most concerned about who to sell to. How much can it be sold for?
In terms of results and young players, the big sharks have a good trend. According to the analysis of senior sports industry investors, "the core single basketball club in Shanghai, if it is traded, it is relatively cheap to pay less than 1 billion yuan." ”
Referring to the 2013 when the Shanxi team was resold to Beijing Enterprises, the transaction price was about 150 million yuan, and then it was bought back by Fenjiu for 180 million yuan, and the valuation of the Shanghai men's basketball team is more than 500 million yuan.
Who is most likely to take over the Shanghai men's basketball team?
Ma Yun, Xu Jiayin, Wang Jianlin and other business tycoons have become the object of fans' predictions. The reporter learned that no matter what, the Shanghai sports functional department set the bottom line for the transfer: "We must stay in Shanghai, and we must still be the Shanghai team." It is reported that the possibility that the Shanghai men's basketball team will be taken over by state-owned enterprises under the Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission also exists.
After the news that the Shanghai team was going to shoot, there were rumors that the Bilibili website might take over, but after all, station B is the base of house culture, and the main business of station B is still two-dimensional, and they invested 15 million to buy the naming rights this season, but they actually have no long-term plans in basketball. What's more, with the current scale of funds at Station B, it is impossible to operate a B team alone.
In addition, there are rumors that Ma Yun will take over the lightning, which has been recognized by many insiders. After all, the current sports industry plate is getting bigger and bigger, and Ma Yun's Ali Sports is also actively laying out and rolling out the front.
However, there are other rumors in Shanghai that Li Ruigang's "Chinese Culture Holdings" is likely to have been in contact with the Shanghai team.
Li Ruigang was a former Shanghai-based media tycoon, and after leaving SMG, he co-invested in funds with Alibaba, Tencent and Oriza Holdings. In 2015, Olympic Sports Power, a subsidiary of Chinese Culture, spent 8 billion yuan to win the copyright of the Chinese Super League in the next five years. Subsequently, it teamed up with CITIC Capital to acquire a 13% stake in Manchester City's parent company, City Football Group, for $400 million.
It is worth mentioning that Li Ruigang and Yao Ming seem to have a certain personal relationship, as tycoons in their respective fields in Shanghai, the two have intersected on various occasions.
Recently, Li Ruigang publicly said, "China's sports industry has entered a golden period of rapid development, and we believe that in the next few years, China's local sports events, brands, talents, marketing and even operation systems will usher in leapfrog innovation and development." Taking this as a new opportunity, Huaren Culture will continue to integrate the industrial energy efficiency and resources of the major upstream and downstream business segments of its sports industry and the company, and make concerted efforts to promote the overall improvement of China's sports industry from multiple perspectives. ”
According to insiders, Li Ruigang and his Chinese Culture took over the Shanghai team, not just gossip, there are even rumors that Chinese Culture will spend 500 million yuan to complete the acquisition from Yao Ming.
Just as Chinese culture and the Shanghai team are getting closer and closer, on March 1, the Shanghai team completed the ownership change in a flash, and Arthur Walker became the new owner of the Shanghai men's basketball team.
March 1 is a day to be remembered. Yao Ming, chairman of Shanghai Oriental Sharks Basketball Club, officially announced that Arthur, the owner of the Golden State Warriors of Team B, signed a framework agreement with Shanghai Oriental Sharks, and through equity transfer, Arthur will become the owner of the Shanghai team, with a total transaction price of a staggering $100 million.
In fact, this is not sudden, because after becoming the owner of the Warriors, Arthur publicly expressed his bullishness about B when asked if he would get involved in B. Subsequently, Arthur put forward the premise of acquiring Team B, that is, the equity of this club must be clear, and finally he chose the Shanghai team that was eager to get rid of.
The addition of Arthur is a timely rain for the Shanghai team. However, according to the relevant provisions of the Interim Administrative Measures for the Equity Transfer of Clubs of the Chinese Basketball Association implemented on June 21, 2007, foreign-funded enterprises are not allowed to independently register B, B or B League clubs, nor become the controlling shareholders of B, B or B clubs. However, Yao Ming, chairman of the Shanghai team, does not seem to be worried about this, and he said that the acquisition will definitely create a B precedent.
In fact, this is not a problem for Arthur, who owns JD.com, Alibaba, and Tencent, three Chinese giants, and has too many ways to circumvent the relevant regulations on foreign-funded enterprises.
However, Arthur only found it funny as to the stipulation in the "Interim Administrative Measures for the Equity Transfer of Clubs of the Chinese Basketball Association" that foreign-funded enterprises are not allowed to independently register and establish B, B or B league clubs, nor can they become the controlling shareholders of B, B or B clubs.
bIs there such a rule?
Will there be such rules in Europe's top five leagues?
Why, then, does B have such an unreasonable regulation?
It's very simple, because manager B is worried that foreign companies or foreigners are not as good as Chinese companies to manage, and they are worried that the other party will talk to you about laws and contracts, but in B, only the managers here are the rules.
Although Yao Ming did not disclose the specific content of the framework agreement signed this time, he said that Arthur can use his own resource advantages to combine B and B to interact, help the Shanghai team find high-quality new foreign aid and foreign coaches, provide B championship-level training and sports security, and also help the coaches and players of the Shanghai Oriental Sharks to go to B for further study, which has also become a highlight of the acquisition.
In addition, Arthur, who has the Golden State Warriors, successfully joined the Shanghai team this time, so the Warriors and the Shanghai team with the same boss have become a family, and with his connection, the cooperation between the Warriors and the Shanghai team will definitely deepen in the future.
Not only does the Shanghai team have financial support, but B will also become a treasure trove for the Shanghai team, which can be called a win-win choice for the promotion of B in China and the landing of Chinese players in B in the future.
In addition to introducing the Warriors' training methods, medical equipment and related personnel, Arthur's solution to the team's performance is very simple and rude, that is, foreign aid.
Fredette and Yabusele, two of Shanghai's foreign players, have performed well this season, but Arthur believes that it is simply not enough, at least these two will not be able to lead Shanghai to the B championship.
Fredette and Yabusele are stars in B, but in B sorry, the two are not B-level players at all.
So, Arthur has two active B players for next season, and they are rotational players James Michael McAdoo and Ian Clark for the championship team.
McAdoo was born in 1993, is 206 centimeters tall, plays as a power forward, has excellent athleticism, is good at rebounding and physical confrontation in the frontcourt, has the height, has the speed, he has a good touch near the Nets, and has been working hard.
Clark was born in 1991, at 191 centimeters, he is a thin two-way guard, difficult to break through due to confrontation in B, has three-point range, and plays point guard passing, but from his performance against the Spurs, he can score 36 points, which is enough to prove himself.
Although McAdoo and Clarke have always been the last two in the rotation of the Warriors, which is commonly known as the "water cooler manager", you must know that even Fredette, who has been brilliant in B this season, was abandoned after the expiration of a 10-day contract with the New York Knicks, and McAdoo and Clarke are playing for the championship team Warriors, and the strength of the two can definitely crush the foreign aid combination of all other clubs in B.
It just so happened that McAdoo and Clarke's contracts with the Golden State Warriors expired after the end of the season, and Arthur believed that a $2 million contract would definitely allow the two to continue playing for Arthur just by changing countries.
To the delight of Shanghai fans, the Shanghai Oriental Sharks will remain in Shanghai after the acquisition. Of course, this acquisition may not only be the new hope of the Shanghai team, if Arthur and his team can turn the decay into magic, it will inject a new vitality into B, after all, the injection of capital into the Shanghai team can only solve the temporary difficulties, only B can truly achieve a sustainable profit model, then Chinese basketball can consolidate a solid foundation for continuous development.
As for Arthur's purpose of acquiring the Shanghai team, discerning people can see that this is Arthur's business in the Chinese market, after all, in addition to the owner of the Warriors, Arthur is also the owner of Blackburn, the largest shareholder of Under Armour, and so on.
However, in addition to commercial interests, there is also a rumor about Arthur's acquisition of the Shanghai team, that is, for love.
Love?
Yes.
According to American entertainment media reports, Taylor Swift has been rumored to have new targets from time to time since she broke up with Arthur in September last year, which has made many girl fans quite wary of her, and last month she was revealed to still want to return to her old love Arthur.
The reason why Arthur broke up with Taylor was that Arthur couldn't stand Taylor being too sticky, and his relationship with Taylor was disgusting because it was too high-profile, and was lost by netizens as "the most resentful couple in this century", Arthur was fed up with becoming a laughing stock for others, and hoped that she would change her high-profile attitude, but the two could only break up.
In the past, if you read these news, the Chinese media would only treat it as an inconsequential piece of lace news, but now it is missing, because many of the gossip media agree that Arthur is now China's son-in-law.
According to the "Care Gossip Growth Association", Zhao Liying did not accompany her relatives at home during the Spring Festival, but traveled to the Maldives with a mysterious man.
According to the flight information revealed by netizens, Zhao Liying did not return to her hometown to accompany her parents during the Spring Festival, but flew from Shanghai to Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, on February 2, and then transferred to the Maldives, and did not return to China until the 8th. However, when Zhao Liying left, she took an airline plane, but when she came back, she changed to a private jet, and the plane she took was a private jet transformed from an Airbus 380, which is the same as Arthur, the richest man in the world.
The same paragraph?
Could it be such a coincidence?
Whether Zhao Liying and Arthur have a relationship has not yet been clarified, and the domestic gossip media are seeking verification, but the news that Zhao Liying has a boyfriend can be confirmed.
Chinese actor Deng Chao talks about humor, he recently cooperated with Peng Yuyan and Zhao Liying in the movie "Riding the Wind and Waves", and held a press conference on the 21st, a group of actors chatted about who they would watch with after the release of the new film, and the woman fell into contemplation, but he blurted out "Take your boyfriend", the other party smirked and the audience was silent, triggering a discussion among netizens.
Deng Chao and Zhao Liying play a pair of mother and son in the film, at the press conference, the woman was asked who she would bring into the cinema to watch the new film when it was released, she seriously thought about the candidates, first excluded her parents, because her parents are always faster than their own movements, and they may sneak into the cinema to watch by themselves.
The host couldn't help but ask, "Who is it", Zhao Liying's ambiguous reaction with a smile but not answering, fans began to wonder if there was really an object.
Could it be that Arthur, who was a Chinese in his previous life, is still preparing to recruit a Chinese daughter-in-law in this life?
