Chapter 1260 I invite you to be the general manager
Hao Ming earned a good salary in NBA, but he failed to catch up with the era when the NBA salary cap exploded later, and his total career salary did not even exceed 100 million yuan.
Fortunately, Hao Ming has great influence and commercial value, excellent football skills, cheerful and humorous personality, and a healthy image. The various advertising endorsements he brought him far exceeds his salary.
Conservatively estimated that Hao Ming now has a net worth of 1 billion yuan. Although he is not as good as Li Rui, he is the richest man in the sports circle of Xiaguo.
Of course, Hao Ming's net worth cannot afford any NBA team, but many NBA teams are not wholly owned by themselves. In order to expand their popularity or reward meritorious players, some teams often sell a small part of their shares for investment.
Those or celebrities, these people are the "little bosses" of the team.
For example, the Warriors owner Lacob was a small boss of the Boston Celtics before acquiring the Warriors. He also won a championship ring with the team in 2008.
The famous Flyingman Jordan also first purchased a small part of the Charlotte Bobcats in 2006, and then acquired the Bobcats in full last year, eventually becoming the big boss.
As a member of the Houston Rockets, even if they cannot become the big boss of the Rockets, if they can become one of the small shareholders, it will be very attractive to Hao Ming.
This attraction comes not only from a sense of honor, but also from business potential.
Although the Rockets have no players from Huaguo, it is almost the same with a Huaguo boss. As long as Huaguo fans can always regard the Rockets as the home team, it means a steady stream of huge revenue!
Not only Hao Ming, but several people in his team also showed excitement and excitement, and obviously realized the great value contained therein!
Hao Ming's agent asked excitedly: "Mr. Li, what do you mean is that you are willing to cooperate with Hao Ming to acquire the Rockets together?"
Li Rui nodded and said, "I do have this meaning. If you want, I can leave you 5% of the shares."
If the Rockets can negotiate a acquisition at a price of 800 million magnesium, the 5% stake will be 40 million magnesium. Although it is an astronomical figure, it is completely affordable for Hao Ming.
Li Rui's next words made everyone in Hao Ming's team feel more energetic.
"In addition, I hope Mr. Hao Ming can serve as the general manager of the Rockets and be fully responsible for the team's management."
Hao Ming said in surprise: "I'm the general manager? I'm afraid I can't do it, and Fatty Mo is doing pretty well..."
Li Rui shook his head and said, "If you can't buy the Rockets, then pretend I didn't say it. If you can buy the Rockets, I will fire Fatty Mo the first one. I won't say the specific reason, it involves personal grudges. I think,
The position of Rockets as general manager is you!"
Even the words of personal grudges were expressed, and Hao Ming and others would not ask again. At most, they were a little confused. They didn't know how Fatty Mo offended Li Rui from thousands of miles apart.
Their more focus is on why Li Rui thinks Hao Ming is suitable to be the general manager.
Li Rui gave the answer.
"First, Hao Ming is a professional in the basketball industry. He understands the ball and tactics, has connections, is familiar with all aspects of basketball operations, and has experience in managing the team."
"Second, Hao Ming is the pride of basketball, a banner. Holding an important position of the Rockets can bring strong Huaguo elements to the team. The influence of being a shareholder is too small, and the head coach is too professional and too professional.
Strong, the general manager is the most suitable position.”
"Third, Hao Ming will definitely enter the NBA Hall of Fame in the future, and it is also the link between Huaguo and Meiguo basketball cultural exchanges. He is also loved by Huaguo and Meiguo people. He will serve as the general manager for the future operation of the Rockets.
There are very big positive returns.”
After hearing Li Rui's reason, everyone thought carefully that was indeed the reason.
Li Rui said again: "But I'm just quoting for now, and the Rockets have not given a clear answer yet. In addition, I also quoted the Golden State Warriors and the New Jersey Nets at the same time. The team I bought in the end may not be the Rockets.
I hope to cooperate with Mr. Hao if I buy any one.”
Hao Ming looked moved, but he did not agree immediately.
This matter is very important, and he cannot make decisions based on his personal feelings alone, and must seek the opinions of the team.
Sure enough, his agent first said: "Hao Ming's current business territory is basically in China. If he serves as the shareholder and general manager of the NBA team, he may spend most of the year in Magnesium. In this regard, he may be
Not very convenient.”
Hao Ming showed a thoughtful look.
After all, he is still a native of Hua Guo. His greatest influence and connections are in Hua Guo. He currently focuses on Hua Guo's business and life. If he really joins Li Rui's acquisition plan, it means that he must give up Hua Guo.
The business here focuses on the country of magnesium.
Which side should I choose may affect his trajectory in the second half of his life, and he cannot help but treat it carelessly.
Next, the two sides exchanged a lot of opinions on the NBA team's operating philosophy, future plans, and views on sports.
Li Rui learned a lot of professional knowledge from Hao Ming, and then he realized that the sports industry is far from as simple as it seems. Especially the sports industry in Magnesium has long formed a complete system of scale and specialization, so
No wonder their sports teams can make a lot of money!
Hao Ming was also surprised by Li Rui's insight and realized that Li Rui's acquisition of the NBA team was not an impulse, but had a long-term plan.
After a chat, the host and the guest had fun. When they were about to leave, Hao Ming leaned over and whispered to Li Rui: "Mr. Li, if it is my personal wish, I am very willing to cooperate with you, but I also have to consider family and team,
Hope you understand.”
Li Rui said: "Of course I understand. In fact, even if you are asked to be the general manager, you don't have to stay in Magnesium Country. There are many things you can handle through the Internet. Just like I have acquired several companies in Magnesium Country, but I have never been
Half a step into the land of the country of Magnesium.”
Hao Ming laughed silently: "Is this OK?"
After seeing Hao Ming off, Li Rui glanced at Chen Qin: "Chen District, let's go together?"
"Let's go." Chen Qin was also very interested.
Li Rui felt a little moved as the two walked on the street.
If Chen Qin was promoted according to the trajectory of his previous life, he would be rushing around everywhere in a few years. Moreover, his face appeared in the news every day, making it difficult for people to not recognize it. I am afraid it would be difficult to have this again.
Plant a time to walk on the street without being disturbed.
The two of them chatted while walking, mainly about the implementation of Blockbuster Dashaguo branch and the on-board chips.
In addition, Chen Qin revealed another important news.
