Chapter 438: Bamboo in the chest

Wang Fuxi sat there quietly drinking coffee, she didn't know what Gan Guoyang and the Paul Allen opposite were playing, the words of the two were very brief, headless and brainless, but Wang Fuxi always asked about him by Gan Guoyang's side, except for strictly guarding his affairs, she has always been obedient to Gan Guoyang.

"The league doesn't allow players to own shares, but you're different, Gan, you're a capitalist like us." Paul Allen leaned in front of Gan Guoyang and said to him.

Gan Guoyang is indeed different from other players, he has 100% love and investment in basketball, but he can still divide his energy, operate and build his own capital empire, his shoes, his film investment, his control of the media, his investment in many companies, many people think that Gan Guoyang's total assets have long exceeded the net worth of any player in the NBA.

When Gan Guoyang's sneaker brand "Skyscraper" is spun off from Nike and becomes an independent brand, Gan Guoyang's asset value will be further enhanced, and Gan Guoyang has many investments that have not yet shown their full potential, such as his shareholding in ESPN, and even at that time he also invested in KFC, which has developed generally in the United States, and now KFC has landed in China and has begun to show its strength in new markets.

Gan Guoyang's every investment is very accurate, his investment is often not large, but his vision is very unique, so there is a saying "follow Gan, you can't be wrong", which also makes Gan Guoyang attract the attention of many capitalists, Paul Allen is the predator among these predators.

Allen, as one of the founders of Microsoft, resigned from his position in 1980 due to health reasons, and became an idle monopoly with his shares in Microsoft.

As early as 1986, Paul Allen revealed his intention to buy the Trail Blazers, but at that time the Trail Blazers were on the rise, and Weinberg would not sell the Trail Blazers anyway; If there is no Gan Guoyang in this plane, then the Pioneers will get worse and worse in the days that follow, and eventually Weinberg will throw the burden off his shoulders and let Allen become the master.

But now the existence of Gan Guoyang has made the Trail Blazers close to the championship, and Weinberg will not give up such a team at all, so Allen's plan to acquire the Trailblazers is also making no progress, and Weinberg is not negotiating with Allen at all.

Gan Guoyang listened to Allen's words, smiled and said: "First of all, I am a player, and then I just made some small investments with the money I earned from playing, I am not a start-up capitalist, I am just a citizen who is good at financial management." Moreover, even if I am a capitalist, as a player, I can't own a stake in the team, and I don't know what the point is for you to invite me over. Do you want me to lose the game, put the Trail Blazers in trouble, and help you buy? ”

Gan Guoyang has already determined that Allen is looking for him to buy the pioneers, although he did not admit it, but Gan Guoyang can hear it from his words.

"Oh, of course not, any player should play the pitch and give it their all to win, and I'm ashamed to do something like that. However, this time I am here just to exchange feelings with you and lay some foundation for the future. "Paul Allen looks confident, as if the acquisition of the Trail Blazers is already inevitable.

This time it was Gan Guoyang's turn to mutter, he knew that in history Paul Allen did successfully acquire the Trailblazers, and now his arrival has changed a lot of history, but there are also many things that have turned a corner and returned to the original road, so Gan Guoyang is not sure what cards Paul Allen has in his hand to determine that he can buy the Trailblazers.

"You know, I bought the Seattle Seahawks last year, do you know who the Seahawks owner is? That's the former owner of the Trailblazers, Sarkovos, the founder of the Trailblazers with Weinberg, who is a Seattle native and a real estate owner. ”

Paul Allen's eyes are not limited to the NBA, he has already taken the first step to win the NFL team Seattle Seahawks, Seahawk owner Sarkoworth is one of the several co-founders of the Trail Blazers, in 1975 he was turned to the NFL, so Weinberg took over as the big owner of the Trail Blazers.

"By the way, this Mr. Schultz, he also has intentions to get into the NBA, you know, the Seattle SuperSonics are not having a good time right now. Although I would prefer to buy the SuperSonic, now I am more interested in the Trail Blazers," Allen said, gesturing to Howard Schultz next to him, Schultz has now become one of the biggest businessmen in Seattle, and his Starbucks coffee has been opened all over Seattle, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there is a Starbucks café on every street.

In fact, Schultz did become the owner of the Seattle SuperSonics in the future, but this slightly picky owner eventually caused the Seattlemen to lose their beloved SuperSonics due to the stadium problem, which is another story.

"I can't decide where the team belongs, if you want to buy it, go to Mr. Weinberg, whoever the owner is, I'm going to play seriously." Gan Guoyang replied.

"Nope! You can decide where the team belongs, you have the ability, you just don't know it; You missed this opportunity three years ago, and now you just have to wait and see. Allen's tone suddenly became sharp, and through his glasses, Gan Guoyang seemed to be able to see the flickering cold light, while Schultz on the side was drinking coffee with peace of mind.

The situation was somewhat reversed, because Gan Guoyang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, and he racked his brains to search for some memories of later generations in his mind, but he really couldn't think of anything, he didn't know what this acquisition was going on in history.

"Okay, Mr. Gan, don't worry about it anymore, you're right, no matter who the boss is, you just have to play well. However, as I said, you are a capitalist, and a capitalist and a capitalist together are two capitalists, but when many capitalists are together, they are one country. You'll get to know it later, and hopefully you'll be able to keep doing well in the coming days, so let's keep an eye on the game. ”

At this time, Blackburn's passionate commentary continued to be heard on the radio, although the University of Michigan and Shelton Hall University did not have superstars, but the process of the game was extremely intense, the two sides played very anxiously, until the last minute to decide the winner, the University of Michigan 79-78, one point advantage narrowly defeated Shelton Hall University, became the 1989 NCAA national champion.

"One point, the same game as five years ago, but certainly not as exciting as five years ago, Gan, I want to say I was your fan five years ago, and I still am, and that's one of the reasons why I'm looking forward to buying the Trail Blazers." After listening to the game, Paul Allen stretched out his hand and shook Gan Guoyang's hand again.

When Gan Guoyang and Wang Fuxi walked out of the Space Needle together, it was already completely dark, and Paul Allen asked his bodyguard to drive Gan Guoyang back to the hotel in his own car, but Gan Guoyang refused, and he insisted on riding his bicycle back to his accommodation.

Along the way, Gan Guoyang and Wang Fuxi didn't talk much, Wang Fuxi didn't say a word after entering the Space Needle, at this time he hugged Gan Guoyang's waist and sat on the back seat of the bicycle, and suddenly said to Gan Guoyang: "Forrest Gump, in the United States, you can't fight those capitalists." ”

"Huh? Who told you this? This was Wang Fuxi's first sentence in more than two hours.

"It was my dad who told me, and he used to tell me that in the United States, no one can fight the capitalists, not even the president."

"Haha, didn't you listen to that guy, I'm a capitalist like them, or I'll be a capitalist in the future."

"Well, but at that time, you don't need to fight with them, so why bother with your own people?"

At this time, Gan Guoyang stopped the car, looked back at Wang Fuxi, and said, "Fuxi, it seems that you are not stupid." ”

"I'm not stupid! Anyway, as long as you marry me and always be good to me, I don't care about anything else, not at all. After speaking, Wang Fuxi hugged him tighter.
