Chapter 809: The Boston Celtics Great Crisis

(Book friends chasing dreams and Hattori Masari had doubts in the previous chapter, in history, the Bobcats can only choose one player from one team at most, and the fisherman does not have a limit on the number of people, is the fisherman mistaken, well, in fact, yes, as long as the things in this book do not conform to reality, they are foreshadowing, the two book friends read it very carefully, this is a foreshadowing, like the previous Raptors went to the West, Anthony went to acc, etc., the butterfly effect of the fisherman in this book is still very large, and finally thanks to the two book friends who chased the dream and Hattori Masanari)

Trouble, things are very troublesome now, at least at this time, he doesn't know how to express his feelings when he sees the big boss of the team in front of him, and at this time, the other people in Zhuang Fei's office are also the same as Zhuang Fei, at least at this time, neither Zhuang Fei nor anyone else has any way to solve the trouble of this big boss of the Celtics.

"Zhuang, that guy is crazy, we never thought it would happen, Zhuang, now this team is not our final say"

Now the Boston Celtics have a big incident, and this big event is just two hours ago, when the Boston Highland Investment Company held a routine company board meeting, at the beginning of the board of directors, there was a person who surprised Grusbeck very much, the boss of the Boston Red Sox gambling king family, the rich second generation of Adelson, this guy directly threw out a document that made Grussbeck and several other major shareholders of the Highland Investment Company crazy.

The big boss of the Boston Celtics, Grus Baker, does not have much personal assets, the whole United States knows that the personal assets of this Boston billionaire are only more than 300 million, and it is impossible for him to buy the Boston Celtics, but in fact, there are more than ten bosses of the Boston Celtics, and these more than ten bosses have become a company together, called Boston Basketball Partners Company, that is, the equity party of the Boston Celtics, and the dozen bosses of the Boston Celtics are shareholders of this company. Naturally, he is also a shareholder of the Boston Celtics, and the person who owns the largest stake in Boston Basketball Partners is not Gruth Baker, although he is the general manager and CEO of Boston Basketball Partners, but this is not to say how many shares he personally owns in this company, but because his Boston Highland Investment Company has the largest equity of Boston Basketball Partners, and he is the majority shareholder of Highland Investments. There are also many large and small shareholders in Highland Investments, and Grosbeck is only their representative.

That's why Zhuang Fei said it after he came to Celtic. The boss of this company is not only many but also chaotic, and just now, at a price of 2.5 billion US dollars, the acquisition of 60% of the shares of the Highland Investment Company, you know, the value of the Highland Investment Company is definitely not more than 2 billion US dollars, so the value of 60% of the shares is definitely not higher than 1.2 billion US dollars, and at this time, the gambling king Fu second generation directly doubled the price to forcibly buy this Boston investment company. Although the majority shareholder of this company is Grushbeck, there are six major shareholders like Grushbeck, two of whom are Celtic fans like Grushbeck, and some small shareholders are also Celtic fans, so in the end they insisted on not accepting the temptation of Adelson, and after all, these people are only a minority, they only control 40% of the shares of Highland Investments, and the other nearly 60% of the shares have already reached Adelson's hands. As long as Adelson announces the reconvening of the chairman election meeting, as the absolute controlling party of the Highland Company, he will become the chairman of the investment company without any suspense, and when he becomes the chairman of the Highland Company, the Boston Basketball Partners Company and the Boston Celtics will naturally belong to him.

Arguably. It won't be long before the Boston Celtics change hands, and the boss won't be Mr. Grussbeck, but the other Boston Red Sox boss, Adelson. This is definitely bad news for Zhuang Fei and any of the Boston Celtics executives, and of course, for Grusebaker. This means that the achievements and achievements that they have worked so hard to get from this group of dicks have been directly smashed by the handsome and rich people with money, which is definitely a sad thing.

"Zhuang, you know, the guy just laughed wildly and smashed the check on the table with his expression is really a bad habit for him, I have never seen such a lack of business ethics, he is a complete outbreak, disgusting nouveau riche"

At this time, Grussbeck was still complaining about the gambling king who had just snatched the position of his company's chairman and the team's chairman, but at this time he could only scold like this, because this is actually fair, if he has more money than Adelson, then he can pay a higher price than Adelson to buy the shares in the hands of other shareholders, even if he can't get a higher price, as long as he can be equal to Adelson, other shareholders will not sell their shares to Adelson, but obviously, They can't afford such a price, Grusbeck's father is a billion-level rich man in the Celts, but compared to the tens of billions of liquidity of the Adelson family, it is a small amount of money, and he can't afford to play at all, and this is also a proof of one thing, whether it is in the Celestial Empire or in the United States, a group of dicks can't play a handsome and rich.

"Coach, what should we do now?" Now the atmosphere in Zhuang Fei's office is a little depressed, after hearing Grusbeck's words, these people have no interest in discussing the team players just now, in fact, when anyone knows that the leader of his own in the future is his biggest enemy before, no one can be happy, so at this time, whether it is Green or others are looking at Zhuang Fei, but at this time Zhuang Fei really does not have much way.

If there is a sign that the gambling king rich second generation will buy Highland Investment Company, then Zhuang Fei still has a way, he can use his own money to bid with him, although Zhuang Fei does not have too much cash now, but if he sells the shares of Apple in his hand, he can still raise a sum of money, or there is really no way to borrow money from Paul Allen, then he only needs to help Grusbeck and them get another 11% of the shares, if the two sides really want to go crazy and bid, According to Adelson's financial resources, 11% of the shares are only about 2 billion at most, and Zhuang Fei is confident that he can still get these money. It's just obvious that Adelson didn't give Zhuang Fei this opportunity or the opportunity to prepare for others at all, but directly attacked at the shareholders' meeting, which made Zhuang Fei think of the villains of those bloody commercial TV series that he watched in the Celestial Empire in later generations, but in fact, although this plot is crazy, Adelson's behavior is also very unjust or has no business ethics. But he is rich, he can use money to smash the Celtics, so no matter whether the means are just or not, he has achieved his ultimate goal.

"Now that he actually controls the vast majority of the shares of the Boston Celtics and the Highland Company, it is impossible to get these shares back from his hands now, and it is impossible for the Highland Company to keep it now, so Mr. Grusebaker, I'm afraid you can't think about getting the Highland investment back, at least it's impossible now" Facing the expectant eyes of these people, Zhuang Fei also sighed a little helplessly. And after Zhuang Fei finished speaking, Grusbeck was also gloomy, although he was a dick compared to Adelson, he was still a rich second generation for most people, and his father's assets were more than one billion. But he didn't rely on his father like others, in fact, Highland Investment Company was created by him and several of his partners, so his assets were brought back by his hands, which is why they have always been at odds with Adelson, the rich second generation who relies on his family. At least they have their pride, and that pride is Highland Investments and the Boston Celtics, but obviously. Not to mention the Boston Celtics, the Highland company has now become the other party's thing, which will inevitably make Grussbeck a little gloomy, after all, this is his long, even life's work. Of course, he naturally knew the meaning of Zhuang Fei's words, and now it is indeed impossible for him to get back the company that belongs to him, although he is still the second largest shareholder of Highland Investment Company, but as long as the rich second generation keeps throwing money into it and asking them to throw money into it like these shareholders, if they can't take out proportional US dollars, then their shares may be diluted at any time, or even kicked out of the company.

"Zhuang, I know, it's impossible to keep my Highland Investment Company now, so tell me how we should keep the Celtics now" This Mr. Grussbeck also forcibly suppressed his sad mood and looked at Zhuang Fei expectantly and said, which also made Zhuang Fei a little helpless, he was the chairman of the Boston Celtics at this time and the general manager and head coach, but from the current point of view, he is still the staff officer of the Boston Celtics boss, However, for his future future with the Boston Celtics, he also has to give advice to his boss. Of course, at this time, Zhuang Fei also remembered some things, and these things may be a way to try.

"Mr. Grosbaker, Adelson is the de facto controller of the largest gambling syndicate in Las Vegas, right?" Zhuang Fei asked Grusbaker, and the boss of the Boston Celtics also nodded, in fact, the Adelson family is the most influential and wealthy family in Las Vegas, the family's assets exceed tens of billions of dollars, but the assets that this family can control can reach hundreds of billions, and even Adelson is one of the actual controls of many gambling cities such as Macau, it can be said that the Adelson family is the actual world gambling king family, this influence is immeasurable, Therefore, the assets of the Adelson family in the world's richest list selected by Forbes magazine every year have been questioned, because the family hides too many assets, even more than they appear to be.

"In that case, I think we can keep the Boston Celtics from the direction of the NBA league," Zhuang Fei also said after getting Gruth Beck's answer.

"From the direction of the NBA league to keep the Celtics?" After listening to Zhuang Fei's words, Grusbeck also shook his chin with his right hand, and at this time he and the others were also in deep thought.

"David Stern has been promoting the NBA's anti-gambling movement, trying to keep the NBA away from gambling and betting, as far as I know, for this he has refused many temptations from Las Vegas, Las Vegas's desire to have an NBA team has always been rejected by him, if he knows that Adelson is the largest gambling king family in the United States, he will never let the league agree to such a person to hold the Boston Celtics, as long as the league rejects his acquisition request, Then he had to cut the shares of the Boston Celtics from the Highland Investment Company, so that even if he owned the Highland Investment Company, it was impossible for him to own the Boston Celtics" And when Zhuang Fei said his method, Grusbeck's eyes lit up, this is indeed a way.

"Zhuang, I'm going to contact David Stern, hoping that he can stop Adelson from becoming the Boston Celtics" And after Zhuang Fei finished speaking, the boss of the Boston Celtics also immediately swept away the loss just now and acted quickly.

And Zhuang Fei looked at his back and sighed again, to a certain extent, the NBA's acquisition system is very good, as long as the league does not agree, no one can get any team from the NBA, of course, even as long as there is no consent from the league, there is no way to complete any transaction, even if it is not illegal, and this is also the embodiment of David Stern's absolute control over the NBA, he is the only God here.

"Coach, do you think this solution can really work? Will David Stern really turn down Adelson's takeover bid? After Grussbeck left, the team's deputy general manager Danny Angie and the team's director of operations and Zhuang Fei's two assistant coaches also looked at Zhuang Fei with a worried face, no one can be sure what David Stern will do at this time, even Zhuang Fei is the same, he can influence David Stern, he can, Jordan can, Carter can, but David Stern is still the only God in the NBA. No one knows what this God will think. So after hearing the questions of his assistants, Zhuang Fei also shook his head helplessly. And the other four people also sighed a little after seeing Zhuang Fei shaking his head.

"This guy is really ruthless," Zhuang Fei finally sighed and said to the gambling king Fu Second Generation who only had a two-sided relationship, this guy is indeed a person who does things wrong and does not drag his feet, from this point of view, Grushbeck They can't play this person.

After Grussbeck left, Zhuang Fei and Danny Anji, Michael Carr and others talked about the team's strategy for the new season again, but at this time, neither Zhuang Fei nor others were too interested, and finally today's new season discussion that is very important to the Celtics also ended hastily, and now everyone is waiting for the final result.
