There is a popular saying on the Internet: "If there is 100% profit, the capitalists will take risks; If there is a 200% profit, the capitalists will flout the law; If there is a 300% profit, then the capitalists will trample everything in the world".

Interestingly, the NBA is a league of capitalists who, for their own benefit, could prevent the Lakers and Hornets from trading back then, so that Paul ended up not being teammates with Kobe; They can force the supersonic to move out of Seattle for the sake of profit.

Of course, they also used to restrict the king from moving from Sacramento for the sake of profit.

Why is it a restriction? Because the Kings had planned to move to Anaheim in '09, and Anaheim is less than 40 kilometers away from Los Angeles, the Lakers owner and Clippers owner naturally did not intend to share the Southern California fan market with other teams, and the BA relocation committee voted 7-0 to reject the King's relocation plan after an inspection.

But in 2013, when the Seattle consortium made an offer of $525 million, they felt that the king should relocate, and then the Sacramento consortium joined the melee, and they completely rejected the king's plan to relocate to Seattle.

In short, everything is for the sake of profit.

Originally, Anjiali's father Lanadivi was only the third largest shareholder in the consortium that acquired the Kings, but with the withdrawal of Ron Burkle due to conflicts with the NBA and the fading out of vision of Mark Mastrov, the founder of 24-hour fitness, Lanadivi jumped from the small owner of the Warriors to the big boss of the Kings.

Supposedly, this should be a new era for the Kings, and Ranadivi took office with a rapid overhaul, sending off almost the entire coaching staff and firing general manager Geoff Petrie, who had worked for the team for 19 years, in order to take the Kings to the next level.

As a former Warriors small owner, Lanadivi has made extensive use of the management talent of the Warriors faction, first hiring former Warriors assistant coach Mark Malone as the team's new head coach, and then appointing Pete D'Alessandro, who also has a Warriors background, as the team's general manager, and even his personal assistant is Warriors legend Chris Mullin.

He was ready to do everything, but it backfired, the team's big name Cousins was overwhelmed, the management was mediocre and incompetent, and the location in a small city could only attract stars like Gay, and the Kings missed the playoffs for the fourth year in a row.

The Kings have a poor record, and even if the team's home court is changed to the luxurious Golden One Arena, the team's income is still not ideal, and the owners of the NBA regret that the Kings should have moved to Seattle in the first place.

Why regret it? Because there are three main sources of income for NBA teams:

One is to sell tickets, but each team's regular season and 45% of the playoffs will be handed over to the league, which will then divide this part of the revenue equally among the 30 teams.

In 2014, the NBA signed a $24 billion TV broadcast deal with Turner and ESPN, and this part of the money will also be distributed by the league.

The third is sideline advertising, 50% of which will be handed over to the league, which will then distribute it to other teams.

Excluding the income from the team's periphery, the income from the broadcast rights in the region, and the competition prize money aside, the owners of every NBA team want their team to make money and the owners of other teams to make money.

That's why NBA owners will regret the Kings staying in Sacramento, and if the Kings go to Seattle, they will at least have more of the revenue from courtside advertising sponsorships and ticket revenue.

However, no one wants to make a head bird to find out about this matter, after all, the money is not shared by themselves. But after the Kings selected Zhang Feng this summer, everything changed.

In the game, Zhang Feng broke the Wilt-Chamberlain debut scoring record in the first game, and at the same time led the fish belly team to the first place in the West, and broke the NBA all-time record one after another, everything shows that he is very likely to become the MVP of his rookie season.

Outside the arena, Zhang Feng opened a health club, helped the police solve the case, proposed high-profile marriage, and became a Chinese guard, all of which showed that he was a thorough topic of conversation, and the increased attention of the NBA because of him was terrifying.

Sacramento has always been a small city, and the bosses tried to think about it, if the king moved to Seattle, with Zhang Feng's influence, the ticket prices and advertising costs were high, wouldn't it be nice to sit on the ground and divide the money when the time came?

The bosses did the math and came to the conclusion that the King's move to Seattle would double the Union's share of revenue. 100% profit, they all went crazy and kept persuading Lanadivi to relocate the team.

After An Jiali told Zhang Feng about the old things and explained the source of income of the NBA team, Zhang Feng nodded, he felt that An Jiali said "It's not because of you" It makes sense.

But these bosses of theirs are too much, they want people to relocate, and if they don't let people relocate, they are not allowed to relocate, why do they regard themselves as gods?

"These people are really selfish, just let your father not agree" Zhang Feng picked up the chopsticks again.

"How can it be as simple as you think, they are all people in a circle, look down and don't look up, everyone unanimously asks you to do something, if you don't do that, there will definitely be no good result" An Jiali dragged her face and sighed.

"Oh? Will it be a penny," Zhang Feng frowned.

"That's not going to happen, but it will be very troublesome to trade players in the future, and it's not impossible to even get special care from the referee, in short, it's very troublesome" An Jiali looked extremely melancholy.

Seeing An Jiali so anxious, Zhang Feng was very reluctant to go, "I knew that I would have gone with you to the shareholders' meeting, and it was my fault that you were wronged", after speaking, Zhang Feng walked to An Jiali and hugged her.

"It's okay now, when you play in the future, this matter may get worse"

"By the way, what's your father's attitude?" , Lanadivi's attitude is very important, Zhang Feng only cares about pity An Jiali, and almost forgets this most critical issue.

"He loves basketball, he coached my high school basketball team personally, and although he bought the Kings to make money, he didn't want to be bothered by these things, and Adam Shaw was going to talk to him recently, and he was very annoyed lately."

"Adam Xiao Hua", Zhang Feng scolded first, and then continued: "Since your father doesn't want to be disturbed like me, then I have to stand up and not let this happen again."

"Why? Those bosses are not easy to deal with."

"Not because of you"

At this moment, Zhang Feng finally made a decision. He gave up the idea of living a small life, not that he wanted to be busy, but if he didn't get busy, An Jiali and the others would be very busy.

Just like the saying that is widely circulated on the Internet:

If you feel that life is easy, it is someone who is silently bearing it for you.

Now Zhang Feng decided to be the one who endured it.
