Chapter 196: Team Rocket
Vane and Billy glanced at each other, and they could both see a hidden smile in each other's eyes. Although they don't know Zhao Chen very well, they don't know how much money they can make for him just by an album of "Dawn", not to mention that Billy is still a banker, and it doesn't matter if Zhao Chen wants to pay in installments.
For the two capitalists, although the Rockets have appreciated, the appreciation is too slow, and it can only be a little higher than the bank interest, which is really chicken ribs for them. What's more, Moses Malone has not renewed his contract this year, and if it goes on like this, in another three or four months, Moses Malone will become a free agent, and the Rockets' record will be predictable at that time. Don't sell now, wait when!
"Mr. Zhao Chen, I think you should have investigated, ten years ago, the two of us spent more than five million dollars to buy this team, and now ten years have passed, and the Rockets have moved to Houston today, the value of the Rockets should naturally rise, don't you say?"
"You can't say that, the value added is definitely the added value. It's just that although the Rockets have moved to Houston, the attendance rate has not been much better, and there has never been a championship, so I am afraid it will not increase much! I think the two gentlemen can give a real price! ”
Zhao Chen is not so negligent, especially this guy is a bit of a fan of money, and he likes to use the least price to get more benefits. And the Rockets are like this, don't look at the current NBA fame, and there is no TV broadcast, but as long as Stern, a Jewish veteran, takes office in two years, the value of the team will be better at that time. You must know the Hereafter
Leslie? Alexander bought the Rockets for $850,000 in 1993, and the appreciation space is really not low.
In the end, the United States is the big market for comics. Although American hero comics occupy the mainstream market, there are too many hero comics. As a result, the United States has produced fewer and fewer comics in recent years. Take a look at Batman, Man, Spider-Man and other level heroes, which are not products of decades ago, and also lead to the current American comic book market is relatively empty.
It is precisely based on this that Zhao Chen wants to gain a firm foothold in the American comic market, and the "Dawn" piano album is a product of the market to occupy the market, and the current acquisition of the NBA team is also the same.
"Mr. Zhao Chen, we don't want to talk too much. If you really want to buy it, you can pay 10 million dollars and Team Rocket will be yours. Obviously, among the two investors, Billy, the banker, has the right to speak, at least when talking to Zhao Chen, Billy is talking, and Wayne just sits silently.
"Ten million dollars is too much, and everyone knows that the current nBa show is not very good, and even the TV station does not broadcast it. If it weren't for my interest in basketball. And how would you think about buying a basketball team! Besides, I've heard that the Rockets' superstar Moses Malone will become a free agent in a few months, do you think the current Rockets are worth the price? ”
Zhao Chen doesn't know much about nBa, but he also investigated, nBa is still in the late dark era, and the value of the team can be imagined. Not to mention the Rockets who are about to lose Moses Malone. Looking at the Rockets this season, the winning percentage is a little higher than the losing rate.
Vane and Billy glanced at each other, with a little helplessness in their eyes, Moses Malone was almost certain to leave, after all, Moses Malone also felt that he did not have a few years of prime. I don't have a championship ring on my hand, so I naturally want to get a championship ring when I'm still in my prime. What's more, the two owners of the Rockets are only an investment relationship. The salary is relatively small, and they also want to fight for a bigger contract.
Especially now that the United States is still in an economic crisis, the two bosses also have many industries of their own, so they naturally hope to sell the Rockets to tide over this crisis.
What's more, the two American bosses have no choice, they know in their hearts that if Moses Malone leaves, I am afraid that the Rockets' record will plummet, and it will be even more difficult to sell at that time, even if the price is lowered a little.
As a result, the two sides began to argue, one side kept talking about the shortcomings of the Rockets to reduce the price, and the other side said that the advantages should maintain the price.
After two cups of tea, the two sides finally finished negotiating, and Zhao Chen only needed to spend $8oo to win the Rockets.
In fact, the most important thing to buy the Rockets is undoubtedly the stadium, which is equivalent to buying a large piece of land. Zhao Chen is more shameless, after buying the Rockets, he bought the vacant land around the gymnasium, and said that he would build a branch office here, but in fact, he was waiting for nBa to become famous, and the price of land rose wildly, which was a good idea.
Due to the change of ownership of the Rockets, even if the NBA is not well-known in the United States, it is still the most famous basketball league in the end. Naturally, the newspaper media in the United States will also report on it, especially in the recent popularity of "Breaking Dawn", when the two are added together, many newspapers use good layouts to report.
Under the spread of newspapers, the Rockets have become more famous in the United States, and the most important thing is that the name of the Rockets' home court has become the center of the world. As for the so-called Toyota Center in later generations, tsk, as long as Zhao Chen is the boss of Team Rocket, how can this name be enabled.
Zhao Chen is not a basketball fan, and he is not actually interested in the Rockets, but this guy is quite generous. At least after the Rockets changed hands, the salaries of several powerful players were increased.
Similarly, except for these players who are still strong and Moses Malone, the rest of the players basically have no strength, otherwise the Rockets with Moses Malone's record would not be so ordinary. So just let the current Rockets general manager swap with other teams, or even exchange players for draft picks.
In addition, although Moses Malone is almost past his peak, he is still the most powerful center now, and it would be too wasteful for Zhao Chen to give up now. What's more, the nBa salary is not much now, and if you die, you will be with Erwin? Johnson was under contract last year for a million dollars a year.
Speaking of Elwin? Johnson's contract, Zhao Chen feels funny as long as he thinks about it. That was last year, in 1981, when Irvin, who had only been in the league for two years, signed a 25-year, $250,000 contract with the Lakers. This contract was not only the longest at the time, but also the highest at present.
This is almost a reference, after all, the Lakers are in the entertainment city of Los Angeles, and the salary space will naturally be relatively high. But this is a full 25-year contract, I really don't know if the Magic looked stupid at the time, after all, after Stern became the chairman, the salary skyrocketed, and in a few years, the million-dollar salary was similar to that of a role player, and it was terrible cheap.
As a result, some unscrupulous people have also begun to imitate this kind of long-term contract to bind those superstars in the future, so that the cost will undoubtedly be saved, and at the same time, these superstars can play well in the team. For example, Jordan and Pippen of the future Bulls, two who are so strong, but the salaries of the Bulls are obviously not as good as other superstars, because of this kind of helpless long-term contract.
Under the effect of a substantial increase in salary, Moses Malone finally chose to renew his contract with the Rockets, with a contract of $5oo for 4 years, which was almost given by Zhao Chen to calculate the peak of Moses Malone, and such a high salary was also to cause a sensation. After all, the annual salary of $1.25 million has surpassed Magic Johnson and become the highest salary in the current NBA.
Maybe it's also this salary that will make Moses Malone stay, for players in this era, compared to the ethereal championship ring, or a high salary is more tempting, no way, the overall salary of the current NBA is too low, and many role players are working while playing to make a living.
As soon as this salary came out, it almost seemed to publicize the characteristics of someone who is stupid and have more money, but in the end, how can those who don't know the future know.
And when renewing the contract with Moses Malone, Zhao Chen only said one sentence to him: "The whole world may be watching us, if you don't want to be made fun of, then use your strength to set off your right salary!" ”
