"Didn't you promise me that the Hua people will give in? What should I do now!"

Alexander stared at Fatty Mo with an angry face, wishing he could eat him.

As the most stingy boss in the NBA, Alexander's consistent style is that when making money, he will never make a dollar if he can make two dollars. When spending money, he will never break a dollar into two if he can break it into four.

There was once an opportunity to sell the Rockets for a billion dollars in front of Alexander, but he did not cherish it. He regretted it only when he lost it. The most painful thing in the world is this. If God could give Alexander a

When the opportunity comes again, he will definitely tell Li Rui: I sold it. If he can give this promise a price, he hopes it will be one billion yuan!

Fatty Mo is also confused.

In his very rational judgment, since the Hua people want to buy an NBA team, it must be the Rockets, because the Hua people have the most affection for the Rockets. They can naturally use the Hua people's emotions to raise the price and win over them.

to maximize benefits.

However, judging from the news coming out of the league, the Hua people did give up the idea of ​​buying the Rockets and instead bought the Hornets.

how so?

The more Alexander looked at Fatty Mo, the angrier he became: "Tell me, what should I do now?"

Fatty Mo didn't know what to do. He only regretted why he was so talkative. Even if his boss made more money, he wouldn't give it to him. Why did he come up with bad ideas at that time?

"Now Xiao Hua is negotiating with the Chinese people. If their talks go smoothly, maybe they will reach an agreement within this week. The other owners in the league have long been impatient with hosting the Hornets. Even if I vote against it, they will definitely

Everyone will vote in favor, so this acquisition is very likely to be completed," Alexander said.

Fatty Mo remained silent, knowing that what Alexander said was the truth.

The Hornets have been in the hands of the league for two years. As long as the price is right, no one will stop this transaction.

The only thing that may change is the price.

Fatty Mo suddenly had an idea and said, "Boss, their deal may not be concluded, but we still have a chance."

"What chance?" Alexander asked.

Fatty Mo said: "The league's minimum asking price for the Hornets is 250 million yuan, and the Chinese people may not be willing to pay that much money."

Alexander found it funny: "Are you kidding me? They are willing to spend one billion dollars to buy the Rockets. Why are they not willing to buy the Hornets at such a low price?"

Fatty Mo shook his head confidently and said: "No, this is not the same thing. First of all, Houston is a bigger market than New Orleans, and secondly, Chinese people have a complex with the Rockets. Whether it is from the perspective of market development or brand effect, the Rockets are

Far more valuable than the Hornets. The Chinese people are willing to pay one billion dollars for the Rockets because they believe they can earn back the money through subsequent market development, but they will not be willing to spend 250 million on the Hornets!"

"So?" Alexander asked.

Fatty Mo said seriously: "I estimate that the Hua people will have disagreements with the alliance on price, causing negotiations to run aground. In this way, we will have another chance."

"What chance?"

"As long as we are willing to lower our attitude a little or lower our prices a little, people from China will definitely come back to buy the Rockets."

Alexander looked straight at Fatty Mo: "Is this your suggestion?"

Fatty Mo nodded.

"Get out!"

…

Negotiations continue.

The price of 200 million offered by Li Rui's side was rejected. The NBA's psychological bottom line is 250 million, and it is impossible to go below this price.

Li Rui also knew that the price he gave was much lower than the alliance's expectations, and he originally wanted to delay time.

The reason given by Li Rui is also very simple, that is, the outcome of the ongoing labor negotiations is not clear.

"Since there is no guarantee whether the next season can proceed normally, we feel that the price of 200 million magnesium dollars is very reasonable." Jimmy, the lawyer who was one of the main force in the negotiation, said gushingly.

Silver immediately said: "What the league can promise is that the new season will not be cancelled! The league will conduct the next round of negotiations with player representatives on the 23rd, and is very hopeful that a final agreement will be reached, and the start time of the new season will be determined by then.

"

Jimmy spread his hands and said: "The players union has been dissolved. The current player representatives cannot even truly represent all players. We are not confident enough to resolve the labor dispute in a short time. If the league insists on this asking price, we prefer to wait.

Negotiations will continue after the start time of the season is determined."

A few drops of sweat appeared on Xiao Hua's bald head, and he said with a smile: "I can understand your mood, but the price of 200 million magnesium yuan is absolutely unacceptable."

"Why don't you ask the Alliance Council for instructions?" Jimmy spread his hands and said, "Maybe if everyone makes a concession, everyone will be happy with the result."

"Okay, I'll make a call." Xiao Hua said.

After receiving the call, the league's Board of Governors immediately convened a conference call with the owners of each team.

Some owners are determined not to make concessions, such as the Buss family of the Los Angeles Lakers and James Duran, the owner of the New York Knicks. Their markets are large and their income is high, and they value the brand value of the entire NBA. If the Hornets sell at a low price, they will also

Indirectly affects the market value of their team.

There are also some owners who agree with an appropriate price reduction. After all, the league has been in charge of the Hornets for two years. If it continues, it will only become a deeper and deeper quagmire.

In the end, most of the owners reached a consensus that the Hornets' price cannot be lower than 230 million yuan.

After hanging up the phone, Alexander's face turned pale, and he immediately called Fatty Mo back who had just left.

"You contact the Hua people immediately, immediately! Ask them if 950 million magnesium dollars is available!"

Fatty Mo didn't dare to give any advice this time and immediately ran out to call Hao Ming.

Hao Ming, who was participating in the negotiation, saw the caller number, winked at Li Rui, and walked out of the conference room to answer the phone.

"Hi Darrell, hello."

"Hao, are you participating in negotiations to acquire the Hornets? Listen to me, Alexander has decided to lower his asking price for the Rockets to 950 million yuan. This is his new offer. If you agree to this price, you can come to Houston right away.

Negotiate!" Fatty Mo said hurriedly.

Hao Ming suppressed a smile and said: "I'm really sorry, we have reached a preliminary intention to acquire the Hornets with the league."

"Don't buy the Hornets. New Orleans is a small city and lacks the huge market of Houston. You have lived in Houston for eight years, and you know how passionate the fans here are. And the Rockets are the home team of Chinese people, right?

?" Fatty Mo said.

Hao Mingdao: "What you said makes sense. When we first contacted the Rockets, we considered it the same way. But the Hornets' price is very attractive, which is an important factor we have to consider. But..."

"But what?" Fatty Mo, who was a little desperate at first, heard this "but" as if he was hearing the sounds of nature.

Hao Mingdao: "If Alexander can make an appropriate concession, I think we will still consider the Rockets."

"What's your quote?"
