Inside the office of Trailblazers President Orhi.

Orsh didn't know why he wasn't there, only Richard and his boss Paul Allen.

Although he is now coaching the Trail Blazers, Richard and Paul Allen have met very rarely, and the last time they met was when Paul Allen went to recruit Richard......

The Pioneer is not a big deal for Paul Allen, after all, the market value of the Pioneer is now three or five billion, which is really nothing compared to Paul Allen's net worth of tens of billions.

"Lee, seriously, you've done far more than I could have imagined!"

"Like I recruited you and said, you're a legendary coach!"

Paul Allen had a smile on his face and praised Richard......

As he said, the results achieved by Richard led the team were really beyond his imagination!

The team's spending has been much lower, but the team's record is slightly better than last season, and Richard's penchant for playing tricks has led to him and his players building a deep fan base in Portland.

The Trail Blazers' current ticket sales are much better than last season, about 8% more revenue per game!

That's a remarkable number!

Basically, Richard has increased the market value of the Trail Blazers team by eight percent in a short period of time, and maybe even more, to ten percent......

If the tickets sell well, the surrounding areas sell more, and the income is high, the natural market value is high.

This extra 10 percent of the market value, according to the market price of the pioneers, is worth 350 million!

Coupled with the fact that Richard reduced the team's expenses because of a large number of new recruits, he made a lot of money for Paul Allen!

Under such circumstances, Paul Allen naturally showed his face and came to encourage Richard......

This is the usual trick of being a boss to buy people's hearts.

But the main purpose of Paul Allen today is not to buy people's hearts, but to have more important things.

"Lee, Olhi, they're pretty cooperative with your work, aren't they?" Paul Allen asked with a gentle smile.

Richard nodded: "Well, we worked together very happily, otherwise, the transactions before the start of the competition would not have been so smooth and successful!" ”

"That's good, if you encounter something that can't be solved, just call me!"

"I'm coming to you today for something else......" Paul Allen paused.

"Huh? Tell me, Paul, if you have anything. ”

Richard was a little puzzled, what else could Paul Allen do to find himself besides work?

There is no other intersection between the two.

"That's right, I want to buy the online rights to your copy of "Violent Black" and put it on TSN!"

"It's definitely a win-win deal, and now the Internet is growing very fast, so it will definitely get more readers to know you, and my TSN will also attract some traffic!" Paul Allen said with a blazing eye.

The so-called TSN, which stands for the-sports-nes, is a website created by Paul Allen dedicated to sports news.

In the current Internet era, it is the era of competing for users and traffic, and moving "Violent Black", which is quite well-known among basketball fans, to TSN will undoubtedly attract some traffic to TSN!

Paul Allen is a big guy who entered the Internet relatively early, but there is one thing that is the black spot of his entire investment career!

In 92, "AOL" went public, this company belongs to the Internet pioneer level, and later grew into the largest network service provider in the United States, and also one of the largest websites in the world.

Paul Allen's shrewd investment vision naturally invested in this company!

In '94, Paul Allen wanted to expand his stake in AOL, but he didn't succeed and sold all his shares in AOL in a fit of anger......

This operation has directly become one of the most stupid operations in the history of the Internet.

You must know that in 92, when AOL was first listed, the market value was only about 60 million US dollars, and then in just ten years, the market value of this company skyrocketed to more than 160 billion!

Nearly 3,000 times the windfall profit in ten years!

Think about it, if Paul Allen hadn't sold these shares, I'm afraid his worth would have skyrocketed in the future!

It's the end of '96, and the Internet has become a sweet spot, and Paul Allen naturally doesn't want to continue to miss this kind of good opportunity, so he got a TSN ......

The development of TSN can only be regarded as average, so Paul Allen thought of Richard!

With his IQ of 170, he is very sure that "Violent Black" can bring traffic to TSN!

In this embryonic stage of the Internet, the traffic is US dollars, a large number of US dollars, and even those Internet companies in later generations, if they want to attract traffic, they must also throw money into it!

Paul Allen has money, and he's willing to throw it at it!

"Good!" After a brief pause, Richard simply agreed......

The main reason why he was stunned was that Richard didn't expect that the prototype of the Internet would be born so soon!

"Excellent! My man! ”

Paul Allen was smiling, and he admired Richard's crisp and uninked personality.

"In terms of quotation, if my subordinates are not wrong in their work, the profiteering Blake high school papers and college papers can bring you about 30 million US dollars, and I am willing to spend 10 million to buy the online copyright of these two volumes!"

"In the future, if you write a new volume, if you are willing to choose TSN as the exclusive debut, we can continue to talk about the price!"

"It's just the copyright of the Internet, and it doesn't contain other copyrights!"

Paul Allen informed Richard of his offer.

Richard nodded, this offer is already quite generous......

Paul Allen's goal was to drive traffic to TSN and attract sports-loving fans to their site, and he was willing to spend $10 million on it!

What a burn of money!

Richard couldn't help but smack his lips and exclaimed......

However, in this era of Internet wilderness, this kind of drainage cost is actually not high, and it is even more exaggerated to make CDs and send them door-to-door......

The cost is even more frightening, and the effect is not necessarily as effective as Paul Allen's method.

Especially in the future, TSN will become the exclusive first website of Violent Black, and those readers who are waiting for new chapters can only go to TSN to watch, which will undoubtedly greatly increase TSN traffic!

I have to say that Paul Allen has a good calculation!

Richard naturally has no need to refuse, which is almost equivalent to saying that a pie in the sky is a deal, and a fool will not agree.
