Bet on the ball, this one is David. The last thing Stern wants is that Las Vegas hasn't been able to get David for so many years. Stern recognizes the root cause of owning an NBA team.

David. Stern wants the league as a whole to have nothing to do with betting, and it's hard to say once Las Vegas has an NBA team.

Especially at this time, Tim, who was exposed in the offseason. There are less than two months left in the Donagee gambling scandal, which once caused the league to be criticized.

If it weren't for the fact that the FBI finally came forward to confirm that Donaghi's gambling was a personal act, then David . The image of the alliance that Stern has worked so hard to create will be burned.

The possibility of the "Orange County Chronicle" suddenly made David. Stern tensed.

Although he didn't believe that Lin Sen would participate in gambling, after all, Lin Sen's company is developing rapidly now, and his personal future is bright, so he doesn't have to worry about money at all.

As long as Lin Sen wants to, then there are countless companies willing to give Lin Sen crazy big contracts, but since the "Orange County Chronicle" has raised doubts, David. Stern, as president of the Alliance, always responds.

But before he responded, he spoke to David. Falck talked on the phone to ensure that the two men were on the same page and that they were on the same page.

The possibility of the Orange County Chronicle was quickly exaggerated by a gossip magazine.

The magazine said because of Dina. Lohan is Lindsay. Lohan's mother, Lindsay. Luo Han is Lin Sen's ex-girlfriend, and now she has given birth to a daughter for Lin Sen, while living in Lin Sen's house all the time.

And Lindsay's mom Dina was involved in gambling, and Linson ended up working for Dina. Lohan pays off his debts.

The magazine demanded that Mr. Linson disclose the details of his debt payments with Las Vegas and asked for receipts. At the same time, Pakatan Harapan asked the FBI to intervene in the investigation. Ensure Lin Sen's innocence.

On the surface, it is for Lin Sen to be able to wash his innocence. In fact, he questioned Lin Sen in a different direction.

"I don't know what to say, maybe I'm really bad for money!" Lin Sen, who walked out of the house, said to the reporters who were squatting in front of his villa, "FBI agents come to check on me, I know how sorry some reporters are, so I don't mind letting them prove my innocence."

Suffice it to say that I really don't value one or two million, and if those guys are too poor to eat, I don't mind having a big pot in front of my door and providing them with free rice twenty-four hours a day.

That's all I want to say! ”

Lin Sen's public response. Let countless fans support it, just like David. Lin Sen was not short of money, as Stern thought.

"Is Wood still short of money? Besides, is MJ Wood the richest one? ”

"I guess so, but Wood. Lin & Co. has not made the specific accounts public, and I only know that Wood has more than 50 million dollars on his salary and endorsement fees alone, not to mention that he still has a company. ”

"How many billions was Forbes Wood worth last year? 15 or 20? I think once Wood wins the championship this year, the price will definitely exceed 2 billion, a terrifying ability to attract money. ”

"Wood has chosen the right person, my goddess Paris. Hilton proves himself not to be a vase in front of Wood. ”

"Lindsay seems to have been at odds with her in the past, but this time Paris did a good job and deserves praise. I'm going to buy a pair of legendary 2.5MVP versions, but unfortunately there are only 200 pairs in the world. f…… uck。 ”

"It's really rare, I know Paris was also taken into the harem by Wood, and I bet that's for sure, otherwise I'd be stripped naked for five days."

"Hey, buddy, the whole world knows, wouldn't you be naïve to wait for them to make it public?

This is absolutely impossible, in fact, I hope that Wood's private life will be made public after the FBI intervenes, am I a little evil! ”

The vast majority of the active discussions on the Internet have nothing to do with gambling, much to the disappointment of some media outlets.

They thought it would guide public opinion and make Lin Sen feel the pressure, but the public almost overwhelmingly did not believe that Lin Sen would gamble in such a way.

"Rest assured, Wood, no one will believe you betting, only those guys with donkeys in the head will think so." David. Falk said with a smile on the phone.

He received David. Stern's phone call, telling him that the FBI would definitely intervene, and hoped that he would get Linsen to cooperate.

For this request, David. Falck readily agreed.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics, as well as the Lakers, Rockets, Spurs, and Hornets in the West, are not in the mood to pay too much attention to the grapevine that Linson is involved in gambling.

Before Game 6 of the Lakers and Rockets game began, Bryant and Maddy spoke to the media to ask for their views on Linson's possible involvement in the game.

Kobe Bryant smiled in the locker room and said, "Does that guy Wood still want to gamble?" If he had to gamble, I don't think the rest of the league would survive.

I'm going to talk to Wood in the offseason about whether he can bring me with him next time I make money, and although I don't have as much money as him, I can still take out fifty or sixty million, and I think he can definitely help me become more. ”

And when Maddie responded, he broke a big news: "That guy Wood is not short of money, although this guy is almost stingy with Bryant."

All I can say is Wood. When Lin Company was established half a year ago, its revenue was nearly 500 million yuan, and its profit was more than 100 million. ”

Reporters were obviously taken aback by Maddie's revelations.

To know Wood. Although Lin Company is favored by economic experts and industry insiders, it is unimaginable that it can reach such a high income in half a year after its establishment.

Lin Sen didn't know that Maddie had exposed Wood. Lin company's half-year income, this is also the time everyone got together, Lin Sen received Paris. Maddie and Bryant overheard Hilton on the phone.

"Half a year and 500 million, Wood is worth? -- was the headline of USA Today the next day.

500 million in half a year is enough to attract the attention of countless people, NBA professional players in the past era had limited salaries, and players who retired in the 90s earned more than 30 million in their entire careers.

Today's NBA players only have a salary of at least one million a year, and after deducting the onerous taxes, one million is more than 400,000 points.

This income level is still the lowest level in the league, with the highest annual salary of more than 20 million yuan a year. There are almost 10 million left in hand.

The current most paid in his entire career is O'Neal, the big shark who plays for the Phoenix Suns. That adds up to less than $300 million.

In the end, it was about 150 million in O'Neill's hands. And the divorce incident that broke out in November last year, O'Neal's total assets were also exposed.

After marrying Shannie, O'Neill's savings plus real estate, cars and other real estate add up to almost 180 million, plus O'Neal's total assets before marriage do not exceed 300 million US dollars.

O'Neal is not the first in terms of total assets among active players, in addition to retired business legends Jordan, Olajuwon, Magic Johnson and others.

The number of 500 million in just half a year can crush everyone, although Wood. The profit of Lin Company is more than 100 million points.

But this is only half a year, and it is still when the company is just getting started.

You have to know that this is more than half a year, Wood. The rapid and steady pace of development of Lin Company is obvious to all.

Lin Sen's financial strength made countless people jealous. David. Stern didn't know anything about it.

When he saw the news, he had an idea, this time he was to help Lin Sen clear up the scandal, so he always had to get something.

The NBA has always had its own players' union, the purpose of which is to help NBA players retire.

There are too many examples of how to avoid some players going bankrupt after retirement because they are not good at managing their finances.

When they were stars, many players had chaotic private lives, many women and illegitimate children, never distressed about spending money, and extravagant spending habits.

And financial management is very blind, I don't understand it at all. It is easy to manage money to the end of the loss, and once you retire, you will have no income. Some players are even able to go bankrupt in a year or two.

Even if the wages of players are much better now than in the past, this phenomenon has occurred from time to time.

Compare Jean David. Stern is worried about Allen, who now plays for the Denver Nuggets. Iverson, with the answers of countless fans, is really a headache for him.

Although he doesn't like the presence of such bohemian and eclectic players in the league on the surface, he actually likes it.

Just as he seemed to hate Rodman at the beginning, he actually liked Rodman more than most people in his heart.

Because Rodman can bring attention to the NBA, he can bring benefits.

In the 90s, Rodman was no exaggeration to say that he was the most guaranteed box office other than Jordan, and he was sought after by countless people even away from home.

Although this pursuit may be to see if Rodman will make an out-of-the-ordinary move on the field, he does not deny Rodman's contribution to the league.

Iverson is not as exaggerated as Rodman, but his style and personality are very likeable, and countless people regard him as their idol.

But he's very bad at managing money, David. Stern knew that Iverson still had hundreds of his friends and family, and he could imagine how bad the impact would be if Iverson retired.

In fact, David. Stern's concern is good, and while Iverson looks good in reality, rumors of bankruptcy are constant, and in reality they are about the same.

Iverson's endorsement company, Reebok, had the same consideration, and their contract with Iverson was for life, but in order to avoid Iverson going bankrupt, they wrote in the contract once Iverson retired.

The payment method for this lifetime contract will be issued on a monthly basis, rather than a one-time one-year payment to Iverson.

The funds of the players' union are also invested by special people to produce benefits, which is like many charitable foundations in the United States, which invest money every year, and then use a part of the profits to invest in charity.

The money is not tied to the profits of the NBA's official leagues, but is handled by the players' union itself.

Although he is not in charge of the players' union funds, he also knows that the investment and financial benefits of the players' union are not very obvious.

David. Stern came up with a solution that would get the players' union to agree to take out a portion of the original funds and Linson's Wood. Lin company tied together.

He also knew about Wood before. Lin has grown rapidly and has little to no risk with the help of business giants such as the Hilton family, Twitter, Adidas, Armani, etc.

But he didn't expect to make so much money until he saw the newspaper in front of him.

In this way, you can avoid risks as much as possible, and then get more rewards. It also saves him from worrying about the situation of the players' union.

After all, the league's earnings are not bad every year. But these proceeds are not for the players' union. It's for the team owner.

If you can really get the players' union and Wood. Lin company hooked, he was very willing to do so.

Of course, if there are other promising companies willing to accept the funds, he wants the players' union to agree, but the problem is that there are no such companies.

Nowadays Wood. Lin had apparently become an opportunity, and he hoped that the players' union would agree to his proposal.

"What? David. Stern wants us to take some of the money from the players' union and use it to invest in my company? Lin Sen was surprised.

"Yes, you heard it right, that old guy doesn't know how he could have thought of this." David. Falck though in Wood. Lin Company does not occupy many shares, but he is an old Jianghu.

Follow this momentum. Wood. Lin Company will definitely be able to go public in a few years, and once it is listed, it is a conservative estimate that his worth will double tenfold.

"What did Paris say?" Lin Sen himself doesn't know much about this, but he knows that if a company is not short of money for development, then this capital will only dilute the profits of the company's willing people.

If the company lacks any funds, then come in to help, and save money from those vampires.

"Paris said you can make up your own mind about this, but she gave a few suggestions."

"Which ones are built?"

"First, the money from the players' union can only be used as investment funds, and does not occupy shares in the company, and after this money is invested, it will be returned to the league at a minimum of 5% and a maximum of 20% per year.

Other words. Regardless of whether the money comes in to help the company make a profit or a loss, we give the affiliate at least 5%.

And once the profit exceeds 20%. Then I will only give 20% of this money, and the rest will go to us.

It's like the money is deposited in the bank, and the saver gets the interest himself. ”

Lin Sen listened carefully, if the alliance invests 100 million, then the money will be divided into at least 5 million, and at most 20 million, which doesn't seem to be much.

According to the company's development momentum, the current income from 100 million is almost 20 million, and the future is destined to be more than one.

"And the second?"

"Second, we can't help in vain, otherwise they can go to other agencies, right?

They have to establish a strategic partnership with us, such as some advertising or something, and the alliance must help! "That's Paris. Hilton doesn't say he'll bring it up too.

"Thirdly, we will get more licenses from the NBA to develop some other products, not just games, such as NBA team-specific sneakers, of course, we will not produce jerseys, clothes and hats, otherwise Adidas will not agree.

And there will be more in-depth cooperation, and we have the right to participate in some official events of the NBA, and of course we will not pay no fees.

Some of the others haven't been thought out yet, these three points are emphasized by Paris, and if you think it's okay, then we'll reply like this.

If they agree, then we don't mind taking some money in. ”

Lin Sen thought about it and felt that there was no problem: "I don't think there is any problem, just follow Paris's opinion." ”

"OK, then I'll get her back!"

"Wood, what's wrong?" Natalie. Portman asked, looking at Lin Sen with a smile on his face.

"The league may work with us, and they want to put a sum of money into us, and then we will be responsible for the profit share for them.

Paris made some requests, and I didn't think there was a problem, so I agreed, and now it's up to the league and the players' union to react. ”

"The alliance wants to work with us? And there's money to invest in, which is good business, and now the NBA is growing very fast. ”

"It's not the NBA's money, it's the players' union, David. Stern is just a matchmaker, and ultimately the players' union negotiates with us, and it would be nice if it worked. In Lin Sen's view, the two sides almost take what they need.

"Okay, I don't know about this, but I plan to study economics when I quit the entertainment industry in the future, and I believe in my IQ."

"You don't believe Paris?" Lin Sen joked.

"Am I that kind of person? But I also have a plan, you guys definitely don't want to, someone has to stand up, KK they obviously don't want to, and Paris is likely to take over the Hilton Group.

Wouldn't it be better if I could learn that, at least for a lot less to hire senior managers, wouldn't it? ”

"Well, you're right, what did Lindsay say?" Originally, Lin Sen was going to accompany Lindsay. Lohan goes to New York, but is eventually rejected by Lindsay.

After all, Lin Sen is still recovering from injuries in the eyes of the outside world, and Paris. Hilton was also in New York, so Lin Sen agreed that she would return to New York and Paris alone. Hilton Convergence.

"When I arrived, she called me, and everything was taken care of, and she wanted to stay at home for two days." Natalie. Portman patted his head, "I almost forgot that Anne and Amy were about to get milk, it's all your fault, I almost forgot about it."

Starve them and you're done. ”

Look at Natalie. Portman hurriedly ran upstairs, and Lin Sen couldn't help but laugh.

On May 22, four days after Lin Sen's possible involvement in gambling, the FBI officially announced that there was no such possibility.

However, the FBI did not disclose Linsen's specific assets, which made reporters very depressed.

However, on the same afternoon, Paris. Hilton led a ten-person professional commercial negotiation team and a negotiation team from the players' union to negotiate for three days at the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan, New York.

However, at this time, the outside world did not know that the players' union was under the lead of the league and Wood. Lin wanted to cooperate, and all the media focused on the semi-finals of the East and West, which were about to end.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics are tied 3-3, the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets in the West are also tied 3-3 to go into a do-or-die tiebreaker, while the defending champions San Antonio Spurs and New Orleans Hornets are no different.

The three-tie break has also made the playoffs frenzied, with only the Orlando Magic waiting to see if the next round will be against the Cavaliers or the Celtics. (To be continued......)
