0699: [Bruce family made a lot of money](1/2)
David Stern is a wily man. In the process of promoting the alliance, he has experienced many challenges, but without exception, he has resolved them all.
For him, Li Zhen is another sharp weapon for the NBA to expand its influence again, even more important than Michael Jordan.
So he turned a blind eye to Li Zhen's tidbits, just like he never commented too much on Michael Jordan's off-court news.
Now, Sterling kicked the ball over.
He even said hello.
Selling the Clippers to the Lees is undoubtedly the best choice. He has always been worried that Li Zhen will leave the NBA one day, because his wealth off the court has far exceeded that on the court. He has a huge relationship with Michael Jordan.
the difference.
Most of Michael Jordan's wealth comes from basketball, which is his only way to make money.
But Bruce, his book wealth is already at the forefront among NBA owners... So, why not just let him become the owner?
David Stern holds a meeting of all NBA owners.
Once something like the bottom line is breached, it will plummet even faster.
From the moment they acquiesced to the Li Chen family owning 20% of the shares, Bruce Lee was already a transcendent existence.
Li Zhen's existence benefits everyone in the league. His huge star halo increases the influence of the entire league, and any team that faces the Clippers can enjoy ticket blessings.
Although, the plan proposed by David Stern makes every boss feel that there is something wrong.
But at the same time, they really want to tie Li Zhen to the NBA permanently. So the best way is to make him the team owner once and for all. Anyway, now, the Clippers club must be sold.
"We have to set some difficulties. Otherwise every player will ask the team this way in the future." Mark Cuban was the first to express his attitude.
He is a businessman, and businessmen are always pursuing profit maximization.
David Stern had expected it.
"Of course there will be strict regulations. We call it the exclusive privilege of Glory players. Relatives or individuals of players who have won two consecutive Finals MVPs before the age of 25 have the right to obtain equity in any team. But equity transactions cannot override
It is above the normal contract and cannot affect the player contract."
David Stern said slowly.
"So what if this player deliberately gives himself a low salary after becoming the owner?" The Phoenix owner expressed his opinion. He believed that this would affect the fairness of the game.
"The second rule is that any player who becomes a shareholder of the team, when he plays for this team, the team must pay him the maximum salary. Of course, he also has the freedom to change jobs and trade." Stern emphasized.
Two rules down.
Everyone here is smart, and they all understand that this is tailor-made for Li Zhen.

"That's not fair!"
James Dolan slammed the table and jumped up. He said angrily: "Why didn't you do this two years ago? You were obviously targeting the Knicks."
This is an expected reaction. If James Dolan didn't say this, it would be a surprise.
James Dolan is very sad now. He thinks that the Knicks are being targeted now. He feels like a victim.
However, Mark Cuban next to him was already there to ridicule him: "Who told you to get rid of Bruce? You prefer to challenge the difficulty. You don't want the team that won two consecutive championships. You have to pay hundreds of millions in luxury taxes to prove your financial strength.
Who’s to blame?”
Mark Cuban's eccentricity made the billionaires in the conference room unable to contain their laughter.
David Stern gathered his composure and quickly announced his vote.
29 teams.
Except for the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Charlotte Bobcats and Houston Rockets, everyone voted for it!
The minority obeys the majority, no doubt.
David Stern announced the adoption of this clause...don't even discuss it with the players union, this is something the owners can solve.
In the evening of that day, David Stern appeared in front of the media with a serious look on his face. He quickly announced that after discussions with all the bosses in the league, a new bill had been officially passed.
The details of this clause were sent to reporters half an hour ago.
David Stern ignored reporters' inquiries and ignored barbed questions from New York reporters.
What do you mean, is this blatant favoritism for Bruce Lee?
Of course!
Otherwise, why would we hold such a large-scale meeting? The finals have been suspended for almost a week, should we continue to put them on hold?
Strictly speaking, Bruce Lee is also the bread and butter of you media. If you force him out, how can you get so much news and traffic?
"Jack Lee, since you have made a reservation in advance, you will have priority from now on. If you choose to give up, you can apply to the alliance headquarters within two working days."
David Stern finally shouted to the TV.
Enough of the trick.
This is the rigor of Westerners.
…
Jack Lee was confused.
Is that it?
The Los Angeles Clippers just fell into my hands?
He looked at Li Zhen in disbelief.
Li Zhen turned around and looked at his father: "Are you going to give up?"
"Of course not!" Jack Lee shook his head quickly: "But I don't have so much cash."
Li Zhen smiled.
He thought that such a high-quality asset like the Clippers was only sold for 600 million US dollars. As long as Jack Lee shouted, many banks would come over to provide low-interest loans.
However, Li Zhen hasn't spoken yet.
Daughter-in-law Ashley Olson on the side said: "I have money, can I take some shares?"
Jack Li thought that since she was his daughter-in-law, there was no way he could not agree.
Accept it immediately.
This promise is incredible.
Anne Hathaway quickly ran over to her father-in-law and said coquettishly: I have money too, and I also want to invest in it.
Then there is Scarlett Johansson.
Mary Olson.
Elizabeth Olsen….
We have been talking about this for days, and Li Zhen cannot favor one over the other. He must fight for a share for Gisele Bundchen, who has just left his child, and Sharapova.
Moreover, he also left 20% for Taylor Swift's girlfriends group.
After all, rain and dew all come together.
Frankly speaking, Lao Li has a mixed feeling.
Although he knew that his daughter-in-law was rich, he didn't expect to be so rich.
Where is the use of banks?
In a short time, I had collected nearly 800 million, and there was even a surplus.
In the end, Li Zhen came forward. With the help of lawyers, everyone formed a consortium headed by Jack Lee.
Jack Lee does not hold any shares this time because he originally had 20% of the shares.
The acquisition of 80% of Sterling's shares was divided into several pieces. 20% of Swift's best friends group. 10% of Ashley Olsen, Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson,
Gisele Bündchen and Sharapova each received 9% for conceiving and giving birth to a child for the Li family. Sisters Mary Olson and Elizabeth Olson each received 5%. The rest is Ms. Anne Wang
of.
This is the suggestion made by Ms. Anne Wang.
Because Professor Wang is a person who thinks before and after everything.
She knows her son very well, what if? What if he gets involved with women again and gets one or two back, and she is not allowed to leave any shares for others.
This is a family-style joint venture, and latecomers cannot be treated as outsiders. We must share the same benefits.
The lawyers responsible for the contract were all confused.
He has seen a lot in his life, but he has never seen anything like this.
Based on his good cultivation, he could only suppress the endless resentment deep in his heart, and when he drove the car out of the Li family mansion, he cursed: Bruce Lee, fuck you, you ruined my sense of superiority as a man!
In this kind of situation, who would not collapse if it were someone else?
