"The data is not enough. I didn't know that Sam was so willing to sacrifice. I thought he was not easy to get along with. This season he only averaged 14 points and 7 assists per game..."

As we chatted, we talked about work again.

"Aix, why did you push me that cameo movie?"

“Isn’t it good to make money and pocket money?”

"100,000 yuan pocket money...you are really willing to do it."

"The film theme is quite sensitive, and I'm not suitable for participating in the show."

"You seem to have pushed out a lot of endorsements and events this year."

"Yes, this is the responsibility I need to bear, but it's also good. I'm not short of that little money, and my time will become more abundant and I can have more time for myself."

...

...

Zhang Hao and his family have already gone to Philadelphia. The little loli looked at the valuation of the house price of her villa in Philadelphia, and often laughed so hard that she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

April has returned to her job as an "assistant" and went to Philadelphia to help Zhang Hao communicate the endorsement process of the All-Star Weekend.

On the 4th, Zhang Hao followed the team to Los Angeles. He rested for a night and came to the Lakers Training Hall Toyota Center Arena on the 5th.

"Boss, let's build a training hall, too!"

"We have our own stadium and are still preparing to build a new large stadium. What are we doing for such a small training hall?"

“…”

Jason Williams appeared at the right time: "Boss, Aix means that the place where the ball is played is different from the place where the training is done, and it looks better."

Howard Schultz was speechless and wouldn't have come if he had known.

He happened to be talking about business in Los Angeles, and his team came to Los Angeles to play away games, so of course he had to take the time to come and take a look.

Suddenly, Howard Schultz realized it!

‘This kid thinks that the land assigned to us by Seattle City Hall is too small? Yes! The mountain assigned to him by City Hall is so big... But our stadium cannot be built on the mountain, right?

Or do he think that we will cooperate with the Falcons and the future arena will not be our exclusive use?’

Howard Schultz didn't talk to Jason Williams and Zhang Hao for nodding, and went to Jordan...

Zhang Hao was speechless because he also realized that their team had a stadium and a new stadium was under construction.

And it's quite large! It has a cooperation with the NFL Seattle Falcons.

The owner of the Falcons is Paul Allen, the owner of the Trail Blazers.

Paul Allen is a Washington State native. He grew up in Seattle and invested a lot in the local sports industry.

If the Supersonics were getting worse every year as they were in the original time and space, Paul Allen naturally looked down on the Supersonics and would not cooperate with the Supersonics.

But the situation is obviously different here.

According to the news Zhang Hao learned, the Falcons will not use the new stadium as their home court after the new stadium is built, but will only place some key games and playoffs in the new stadium.

Most of the money is Howard Schultz, the city hall, several local councillors, Jordan gave out, and Paul Allen also paid for it, but very little, mainly because his influence is much greater than Paul Allen and he is more popular in the local city hall and state government.

Zhang Hao just felt that there was a 'exclusive training place' very fashionable, so he turned around and forgot about it.

On the other hand, Howard Schultz found Jordan and told Jordan about his guess.

After hearing this, Jordan fell into thinking.

He will be investing in the Supersonics team either this summer or next summer.

Since he is going to join, this team has unlimited future, with the prospect of becoming a giant team, and the city he lives in is also super rich... Of course, he wants to achieve a higher position in the team.

It is difficult to buy more team shares, but a team is not only the team itself, but also the surrounding industries are very important.

For example, the stadium is too small now. When it was planned to build it in 1993, I didn’t expect that the NBA would develop faster and faster. At that time, Magic, Big Bird, and Jordan retired one after another, and the capital was not so optimistic about the NBA.

Now the Supersonics' "concert revenue" and "large-scale event revenue" are pitifully small. The stadium where the entire NBA 29 teams are located, and the non-ticket revenue of the Supersonics' Key Stadium ranks fifth from the bottom. The revenue of this part is not as good as the revenue of the commercial streets around the Supersonics.

Obviously, it does not fit in with the identity of the Supersonics, the hottest team in the league today.

Planning for the new stadium is underway and is expected to start construction in September this year and be completed before the end of next year.

Jordan reserved and subscribed to 15% of the shares of the new stadium. After retiring, in addition to buying shares of the Supersonics, he will also invest $50 million to purchase shares of the New stadium, increasing the proportion of capital in the entire Supersonics.

Jordan is quite good at the future of this team.

But everything is based on one person Zhang Hao.

After pondering for a while, Jordan said, "Howard, the problem you are worried about is not impossible. Aix is ​​educated, polite, and has a high IQ... But he is really like a gentleman, gentleman, and there are always some strange points."

Howard Schultz took over the conversation: "Yes, he has no requirements in normal times. He is much easier to get along with than the young superstars of other teams and will not cause trouble for the team, but he must have some points that cannot be touched, otherwise the Lakers will not lose him."

Speaking of this, Jordan thought of the team's second highest salary, averaging 4 points and 6 rebounds this season.

Jordan asked: "Does Aix just say it casually or do he really want an independent training hall?"

"It seems like I'm just talking casually, but I remember I heard him say it before, so I came to discuss it with you."

When Jordan heard this... this is a good opportunity for him to increase the proportion of his team's assets!

He immediately said, "That's nothing. You and I, let's pay some money. Isn't it enough to build another training hall near the planned location of the new stadium?"

When Howard Schultz heard this, he felt in vain and replied: "Yes, just build one more training hall. Just build it according to the specifications of this training hall! It can also be used as the home court of our Development League team."

Although he planned to increase investment, Jordan's little heart still grabbed him.

Suddenly, thinking of something, Jordan asked: "Can the training hall be renovated in the future?"

Howard Schultz responded: "It's not very convenient. The location of the new stadium is 15 minutes' drive from Aix's house. Although the Key Stadium is not qualified as an NBA team stadium, it is still a medium-sized stadium. As a low-level professional competition, it is too big. We only need a second stadium with 5,000 seats to 8,000 seats."

"What should I do with the Key Stadium?"

"I donated it to the University of Washington in Seattle. The sled dogs' stadium is very worn. It just so happens that the Key Stadium is close to the University of Washington in Seattle. Please give it to them."

“…”

Jordan wants to vomit blood!

In order to invest in the next two years, he has been stingy in the past two years. He even hopes that the Supersonics will not increase its market value before he retires. The big boss donates at a stadium!

However, when the stock market was avalanche, only Howard Schultz's Starbucks market value was often overwhelming. As one of the earliest fast food industries to enter the Chinese market, he also keenly grasped Zhang Hao's backer... He can't accept it!

Jordan thought about it, he should prepare the money quietly!

Building the second arena is also one of the industries of the Supersonics team, which can increase his capital share in the Supersonics team.

...

...

On Zhang Hao's side, I don't know howard Schultz and Jordan started to make up for the round after wave of imagination, trained hard, and prepared for tomorrow's game.

The Lakers Big Three, the old opponent of the Supersonics, are no problems with preparation. Just follow the experience and come with a straightforward look.

At noon, the NBA officially announced the full list of players participating in the Philadelphia All-Star Weekend that will start on February 10.

Rookie Challenge.

First-year teams: Jamal Tinsley of the Pacers, Paul Gasol and Sean Bathir of the Grizzlies, Kwame Brown of the Magic, Andre Kirilenko of the Supersonics, Joe Johnson of the Celtics, Jason Richardson of the Warriors, Arenas and Richard Jefferson of the Spurs.

Sophomore teams: Kenyon Martin of the Nets, Quentin Richardson and Dalius Myers of the Clippers, Mike Miller and Chris Mime of the Cavaliers and Lee Nayron, Desmond Mason of the Bulls, Hideo Tekogru of the Kings, Marcus Fezel of the Wizards.

In the TV screen, after David Stern finished his first and second grade list, Artest said carelessly: "The 2000 year was so miserable. We were abused by us, and now we are going to be abused by rookies. The league's new competition system has made this game useless."

This statement does not give the league any face.

But this is the truth.

Kirilenko was very excited and was selected for the rookie competition!

Parker and Tyson Chandler did not respond much the same way. Tyson Chandler didn't care much, Parker was not very happy.

The comprehensive event day was followed.

List of three-point contest contests: Bucks defending champion Ray Allen, Lakers Pierce, Cavaliers Wesley Person and Mike Miller, Trail Blazers Nash, Kings Peja and Wang Zhizhi, and Supersonics Steve Smith.

List of participating in the Dunk Contest: Bulls' defending champion Desmond Mason, Kings rookie Gerrard Wallace, Warriors rookie Jason Richardson, and Clippers' Steve Frances.

The list of participating in the slam dunk competition is so miserable!

It's simply absent.

However, Zhang Hao was quite surprised by the list of the three-point competition.

"More and more stars are participating in the three-point competition!"

Kassel next to Zhang Hao replied: "You got 29 points, and many people are working on this record, wanting to break your record."

"I wish them to do it...Mr. Jordan's record is easier to break and does not require effort..."

As soon as Zhang Hao finished speaking, he felt a sharp gaze.

You don't have to turn around and know who it is.

'This boss Qiao is not good at being a boss, and his ears are quite sharp!'
