Chapter 494: A Deal of Three Billion Pounds
(Ask for a commuter pass)
Xiao Ao's contract renewal is simpler than Zhuang Fei imagined, the player who can currently contribute more than 16 points and 11 rebounds per game does not have too many requirements, and this is also a contract that meets his value, after renewing the contract with Xiao Ao, Zhuang Fei and his Celtics basically completed all the strategies this summer, in addition to Xiao Ao, the team's point guard veteran Anderson also renewed the Boston Celtics with a 2-year 2.05 million veteran contract base salary, This also allowed the Celtics to complete all the contract extensions of the season.
There are a lot of talents in the free market this summer, especially on the guard line, although these people Zhuang Fei can't use them, and there is no position to attract these people or sign these people, but although Zhuang Fei can't look down on it, it doesn't mean that others can't look down on it, whether it's Ginobili or Byron Davis or even McBibby in the free market this year, these are the roles that many teams covet, of course, these people are also the characters that their parent team is absolutely unwilling to let go, these are the three biggest big fish in the free market this year, It's just that unlike the other two big fish, Ginobili is now embarrassed, the guard who is thinking about renewing his contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves all the time After getting a symbolic offer from the Timberwolves for the first time half a year ago, the Timberwolves never made an offer to him, which of course does not mean that the Timberwolves have no place for him, or that the Timberwolves are ready to chase people, on the contrary, the new head coach Carl personally told him that the team will not give up on him, But in this case, the owner of the door, Glenn Taylor, just didn't make a bid, and when the Spurs raised the contract to 4 years and 25 million, the owner really didn't want to renew the contract. It's just that the promise to Carl makes this boss very hesitant now.
It doesn't matter if Glen Taylor hesitates, it's just that Ginobili has been waiting for the owner to propose a contract to him, and the days of waiting for a contract extension are definitely the most painful days for a player in the NBA, such a wait is not only the waiting for rookies to renew, but also for these stars who have proven themselves in the NBA, but what makes Ginobili a little comforting is that when the Mavericks also plugged in this matter. The embarrassment faced by Ginobili can be regarded as lifted, and after the Mavericks made a bid from the Spurs, they immediately offered Ginobili a seemingly sky-high contract. 4 years and 28 million, this can be said to be one of the largest contracts offered to an international defender, and this defender is not really the core of the team. In this case, this is already a sky-high contract, which can also be seen that the Mavericks and the old Nelson have a fancy for the Argentine, the old Nelson is also a coach who likes international players very much, the Timberwolves under Zhuang Fei, the Mavericks coach has always been in love with Wang Zhizhi, and in addition to Wang Zhizhi, in fact, the Mavericks head coach also fell in love with Ginobili, but he has been suffering from no chance before, whether it is Wang Zhizhi or Ginobili has no chance before, but this time the opportunity came, Except that the calf couldn't help but open a sky-high price. It seems that there has been a rumor in the media that the Lakers are also following up at any time, in this case, not long after the Mavericks opened this 4-year 28 million, Ginobili received a matching contract for the Timberwolves to the Mavericks, and Ginobili did not hesitate to renew the contract with the Timberwolves after receiving the matching contract from the Mavericks. Glenn Taylor is really unwilling to wait, he also completely miscalculated Ginobili's popularity in the NBA, as a substitute player who can compete with Carter at a critical moment, the value of this bench player in the NBA is self-evident, basically every team that wants to win the championship can see it, Glenn Taylor even thinks again. If he is a little later, I don't know if this guy's annual salary can be raised to 10 million, which is definitely not what Glen Taylor wants to see, so the Timberwolves owner can only be a ninja who took out a 4-year 28 million contract to renew Ginobili, Glenn Taylor is not like Timberwolves fans and Carl are disappointed and distrustful of him because of Ginobili's affairs, it can be said that the Timberwolves owner is currently living very unhappily in the Timberwolves. …,
The renewal of Ginobili and the Timberwolves, which disturbed the entire renewal period, ended in the sad hemorrhage ending of the Timberwolves owner, and this is also to make many other teams choke, it is not easy to poach the players of the Timberwolves, whether this team has that Chinese or not, it seems that the players of this team have never taken leaving the Timberwolves as a choice, especially the players who have determined their status, In this case, other teams in the league also have to admire some of the team culture established by Zhuang Fei when he was in the Timberwolves, as a head coach, performance is a hard standard, which is also a standard that everyone can see, and it is also the most important standard, but for the cultural construction of soft standards, it is difficult for other head coaches to have the time, energy or ability to establish, and it can even be said that after the Celtics dynasty and the Lakers dynasty, no team can really establish the so-called team culture in the NBA.
Ginobili renewed his contract, which made the free market in the summer of 2002 missing a third, and soon, Byron Davis and McBibby also signed a very lucrative contract extension with the team under everyone's eyes, for these two players who are already one of the most important players on the team, such a player is difficult to leave the team, and when the three big fish in the free market in 2002 all completed the contract extension, the NBA's free market soon entered the trade market, For all teams, the big fish is gone, so if you want the big fish, you can only achieve it through trading, in this case, the NBA has once again entered a turbulent period, but in this period, Zhuang Fei and his Boston Celtics have launched this turbulent stage. The trading period is already closed for the Celtics this year.
And at this time, Chris, the agent who had been left in the UK by Zhuang Fei, came to his home with a Russian, and this Russian was the big boss who wanted to buy Charlton.
Zhuang Fei was very surprised when he saw the big Russian boss named Abu, because Zhuang Fei knew very well that this Russian had not appeared in the previous negotiation process, and many times it was Abu's team that was arguing with Chris, and Abu and Zhuang Fei were hiding behind the scenes, because the purchase price and other issues were not involved in the previous negotiations, and the two sides only reached an agreement on the intention of the transaction, and when the teams of both sides reached an agreement on the intention of the transaction, Chris, who is Zhuang Fei's agent, is quite depressed, because as Zhuang Fei's plenipotentiary agent, he was gorgeously ignored by Abu.
The Russian didn't mean to negotiate with him at all, but the first thing he said to him was to ask Zhuang Fei's agent to take him to Zhuang Fei, and in this case, Chris also took the Russian to Boston.
Zhuang Fei's fame in Russia is not small, although it is not as good as in China, but it is definitely a household name, this is the head coach of their national player Kirilenko, it can be said that it is the head coach of their 'home team', and Abu also asked to come directly to the United States to find him after learning that Zhuang Fei was Charlton's big boss.
For Abu, he bought the football club out of love for football on the one hand, and on the other hand, for refuge, to hide from Russian leader Mr. Putin against Russia. The oligarchs' purge, he now urgently needs the eyes of the world and the Russian people to focus on him, and he also needs to have influence abroad, especially to have investment assets abroad, which can also make him and popular jealousy also allow him to have more conditions to negotiate, and Zhuang Fei is exactly the person who can fully meet all his needs, and he is confident that Zhuang Fei can quickly make him the focus of public opinion in the world and all Russia. …,
When he first bought Charlton, the Champions League quarterfinals team, he didn't know that the owner of this team was Zhuang Fei, but after knowing Zhuang Fei, he was directly ecstatic, and in this case, the Russian billionaire was extremely enthusiastic when he saw Zhuang Fei. This also makes Zhuang Fei extremely uncomfortable, he has been looking forward to this big boss for a long time, it can be said that he bought Charlton and then made Charlton a Premier League powerhouse just to wait for Abu's shot, but even if he knew this, Zhuang Fei was still scared silly by the first words of the big boss when he saw him.
"Mr. Zhuang, I'm not here to negotiate the purchase price with you, Charlton is a very good team, I'm willing to pay 300 million pounds to buy everything about it, I need to represent the people of all Russia to thank you for raising Andre so well, his performance in the NBA is great, especially in the All-Star Game"
In the face of Abu's first words, Zhuang Fei was directly dumbfounded, the Russian billionaire made an offer that everyone couldn't refuse, 300 million pounds, this is definitely a sky-high price, when Allen bought Liverpool, it was almost this price, and when Zhuang Fei bought Charlton, he only spent 40 million pounds, of course, now Charlton is a top four team in the Champions League quarterfinals, the value must be more than 150 million, and Zhuang Fei's psychological price is also around 200 million. But even so, the price of the Russian billionaire almost doubled.
This even gave Zhuang Fei the illusion that this Russian would make a random offer in order to make things bigger and bigger. This is indeed a price that will attract the attention of the whole world. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
