Originally, Richard thought about the expansion of the alliance, but he would postpone it because of his appearance......

Now it seems that his little butterfly does not seem to have that ability, and history is still following a normal trajectory.

Expanding the army requires a lot of preparation, and Richard reckoned that the alliance was now officially on the agenda.

They may make the announcement official after the end of next season, and maybe even when the next season is underway.

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Richard's mind.

Richard has always wanted to build a team of his own, and the Charlotte Bobcats seem to be a really good opportunity right now.

"What are you going to do now, old man?" Richard asked Jordan tentatively.

"My plan now is to take down this new army, but it is not easy."

Jordan's face was solemn, he obviously didn't treat Richard as an outsider at the moment, and directly started to support Richard.

"Huh? What's the difficulty? "Richard actually knows a lot about the expansion of the army, after all, he talked to Xiao Hua about this before.

But at the moment, he could only pretend not to understand, thinking to see if he could find out more information from Jordan.

"Isn't this thing just rich enough?" Richard continued.

Jordan waved his hand, "How can it be so easy, money is only the first level, but I can't pass this first level." ”

Richard was speechless for a long time, Jordan was short of money?! Surely this isn't......

"Michael, old man, don't cry poor, ask who in this alliance doesn't know that you have money!" Richard said speechlessly.

Jordan waved his hand, looking helpless, "Three hundred million dollars!" ”

"Man, they're going to verify $300 million, God, where can I find that much cash!"

Richard nodded, if he asked for $300 million in cash, then I'm afraid it would be really difficult for Jordan to come up with it at the moment.

Jordan is indeed rich now, but all his net worth together is estimated to be less than $300 million.

may even have a total net worth of less than $300 million......

This also includes some brick-and-mortar properties, so Jordan may not really be able to come up with that much cash.

"Well, old man, what about the other difficulties?" Richard continued.

Jordan was stunned, he thought that after Richard heard what he said, he would take care of everything and make up for the missing part.

"Lee, in addition to this cash difficulty, there is also pressure from competitors."

"At the moment I've found out that Robert Johnson is a pretty strong competitor and if no better option comes along, he might be the boss of this new team."

"Huh? Michael, with your prestige in this circle, you can't get that Johnson? Richard asked, confused.

Jordan waved his hand again, looking helpless.

"I'm not particularly good at running the team...... Jordan blushed and was a little embarrassed.

He has been with the Wizards for some years, and as a result, the Wizards have been losing money in recent years......

In this case, how can the league rest assured that Jordan is in charge of this new army.

Richard smiled awkwardly, Jordan was indeed a hard flaw in this regard.

One is that there is no money, and the other is that there is no ability, which is almost already announcing Jordan's death sentence.

Of course, if there is no black competitor Robert Johnson, then Jordan may still have a chance to raise some money with his black identity......

Naturally, there is not much of a chance now.

"Li, I'll tell you straight to the point, I will do this by myself, and I will definitely not be able to do it, but if I partner with you, I am at least seventy percent sure!"

"I don't know how much cash you have now, but 100 million cash is definitely there, and I can almost scrape together 200 million cash."

"You've been managing the Pistons for the past two seasons, and last season because of the bad swing, the team's profitability didn't improve, but this season your attendance is quite high!"

"It's definitely a testament to how good you can run the team!"

"If we tie ourselves together and then go to compete, then Robert Johnson will definitely not be an opponent, after all, that guy is just a pure businessman!"

"And both of us are people in this circle, and the alliance will definitely be inclined to choose us!"

Jordan finally said what he was going to do......

Richard's brows furrowed into twists, which really attracted him a lot.

However, the issue of equity distribution is a big problem.

Judging by Jordan's meaning, he wanted to pay more money and then take the lion's share, and Richard naturally couldn't agree.

If Jordan has the majority, then he will have a greater say, and if there is any contradiction in the future, Richard will be passive.

Although the two of them are called brothers and sisters at the moment, who dares to say that there will be no time for the two to turn their faces in the future.

So Richard would never have agreed to let Jordan take the lead.

"Michael, I'm quite interested in what you're talking about."

"But ......"

Hearing Richard's words, Jordan knew that something was wrong......

"But what do I mean by you, you want to take the lion's share?" Richard asked, frowning.

Jordan was stunned, does this need to be said? As the initiator, I must take the lion's share!

……

While the brothers were talking, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

The Eastern Army led by five points, and Yao Ming scored 27 points at halftime, basically no longer having to pay attention to the situation on the court.

……

At halftime, Jordan stayed by Richard's side.

"Li, $100 million is already your limit, right?"

As soon as he heard Jordan's words, Richard suddenly became happy, his limit is really not 100 million US dollars, if he really smashes the pot and sells iron, the 300 million US dollars can be covered by himself, and there is nothing Jordan does.

However, Richard knew very well that this expansion was somewhat special, and the alliance would definitely have to find a black man as its boss.

So no matter how rich and capable you are, if you compete by yourself, you will definitely have no chance at all.

If you are with Jordan, then you can't find anything wrong with you, a yellow person, and Jordan, a black person.

"Michael, it's better to do this, I'll pay $200 million, you pay $100 million, how about it!"

"I'll suffer a loss, and when the time comes, I only need 66% of the equity, and you account for 34%?"

Richard said with a smile......

It's not about handing over the cash to the league, it's just going through the motions with the league to prove that you have the financial resources to run the team.

Jordan's face instantly became bitter, good guy, he just said that Richard was a good person......

Where the hell is this good person, he directly gave himself an anti-guest.

Obviously, he partnered with this guy Richard, but this guy actually wanted to take the lion's share.

"Lee, stop kidding......"

"No, Michael, I'm not kidding, you can think about it."

When Jordan heard Richard's words, he immediately stopped talking.

……

Seeing that Jordan stopped talking, Richard didn't mention this stubble.

He knew very well that Jordan needed himself, and without himself, Jordan would never have gotten Charlotte's new team.

Jordan actually had the idea of building a team before joining the Wizards a few years ago, but at that time his goal was the Lakers.

He almost joined the Lakers before, but on the condition that he wanted a portion of the Lakers' equity.

Naturally, it is impossible for the Bass family to do such a self-destructive thing......

As a result, Jordan came to the Wizards, and the Wizards were willing to give Jordan a part of the equity.

But after coming to the Wizards, Jordan found that life was not as good as he thought, mainly because the team has not been able to enter the playoffs, which has caused dissatisfaction among the team's big owners and other management.

In desperation, Jordan had no choice but to play in person, because the league rules prevent players from being the owner or manager of the team, so he sold his stake and then resigned from the management position......

Richard knew that Jordan was going to be cheated by the Wizards this time, but it was too late to remind Jordan of this kind of thing.

……

Jordan has a strong desire for the team, and apart from Richard, Jordan is definitely not 70% sure if he changes to another partner.

……

By the time the second half began, Jordan seemed to have made up his mind.

"Lee, I can sense that you're interested in this."

"Why don't we beat around the bush, hurry up, you talk about it, what is your bottom line, I mean equity."

In the face of Jordan's straightforward inquiry, Richard thought for a moment.

"Okay, then I'm not going to beat around the bush, Michael, I want more than 51% equity."

Richard still didn't let go.

Jordan made a mistake in his face, "Lee, this is impossible, if you really take 51% of the equity, then this team can't be considered a black team." ”

"You should know what this new army means to blacks......"

This directly made Richard's face look ugly, Jordan was right, if he really accounted for the majority, then this team really can't be considered a black team, after all, blacks occupy less than half of the shares.

"Why don't you do that, Lee."

"We split the equity in half, you have half of the shares, I have half of the shares, and the naming rights of the team are handed over to you, and you have the right to name the team, how about it?"

Jordan is quite sincere, he really can't help it, looking at Richard's posture, he just doesn't let go at all, and now if they take half of it, it is already the greatest sincerity he can show.

"Naming rights?" Richard smacked his mouth, this naming right has an egg.

A new team must have a team name, generally speaking, the team name has two origins, one is named by the owner himself, and the other is to list some alternatives, and then let the fans vote for themselves.

But what team name can this Charlotte take? According to normal history, take a team name for the Bobcats?

Richard felt that the name of this team was really not domineering, and the big boss of the team was nicknamed Elvis......

I don't know, I thought it was selling durian.

But if it's not called a bobcat, what's it called?

Charlotte ......

Charlotte annoyed?!

Richard grinned directly, what the fuck is this name.

"Michael, your conditions are very sincere, but I have to tell you first, if this thing is done, you are absolutely not allowed to interfere in the construction of the team's lineup!"

Upon hearing this, Jordan opened his mouth and wanted to say something......

But thinking about his poor resume in terms of roster building, Jordan suddenly shut up.

It's better not to meddle in this kind of thing......
