861 The fate of the Lakers’ small boss
Two years ago, when the Lakers were in dire straits, Jeanie Buss looked for help.
In the end, only the current minor owner of the Lakers helped Jeanie Buss.
Acquired 30% of the shares of the Lakers, thus becoming the second largest shareholder of the Lakers.
He thought he could just sit back and make money.
As a result, I never expected that at this time, Jenny Buss would cross the river and burn the bridge and rake it down.
The key is that he hasn't had any chance to fight back.
This made the second owner of the Lakers, who had always been very well-educated, jump out of his skin angrily and curse:
"Jenny Buss, this old woman, this old bitch, deserves to go to hell..."
But what has happened is that no one can change it.
NBA President Xiao Hua is also very concerned about this matter and takes it very seriously.
Originally, he wanted to favor Wang Yi now just to reconcile with China as soon as possible, to have a good relationship with China, and to make money in China's huge basketball market.
Now that Wang Yi is up, something like this happened.
If this matter is not resolved well, Chinese fans will boycott the NBA even more.
Therefore, he wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible and give Wang Yi and the Chinese people a satisfactory answer.
Just five hours after the incident broke, the alliance established an investigation team to investigate the matter.
…
At this time, the Kings are still waiting for their opponent in the Western Conference Finals.
The Kings' opponents in the Western Conference Finals will be between the Suns and Warriors.
The two teams are now tied at 2:2, and it looks like they are heading for the tiebreaker.
Sure enough, a week later the two sides reached the tiebreaker.
In the tiebreaker of life and death, the two sides fought a classic battle.
Curry and Thompson of the Warriors played well.
As for the Suns, Devin Booker entered rampage mode, single-handedly carrying the Warriors' twin stars.
The game lasted until the last five minutes of the fourth quarter, when Devin Booker simply couldn't withstand the three-point firepower of the two men.
The Suns are already 7 points behind.
At this moment, veteran Paul stood up again.
In the last 5 minutes, he hit three three-pointers and two mid-range shots.
He single-handedly pushed the team into overtime.
In overtime, veteran Paul once again became the key player.
Not only did he score 11 points in overtime, but he also hit a buzzer-beater at the last second.
St. Paul's reputation was once again achieved.
It can be said that the victory of this game depends on Booker in the first half, and completely depends on Sao Paulo's competitive spirit in the second half.
There's not much gas left in his tank.
So he can't lose again.
That's it, he gritted his teeth and insisted on dragging the team into overtime.
And in overtime, he hit key goals in succession, winning the game at the last second.
After defeating the Warriors, St. Paul sat down in his winning position.
This game almost exhausted his physical and mental energy.
He is only half a year younger than James.
He will be 40 years old in another year.
In such a high-intensity confrontation in the playoffs, it reached overtime and hit key goals one after another.
The exertion on his physical energy was too great.
But he won in the end.
He touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals again.
But that's not all.
He still wants to touch the floor of the finals and the golden championship trophy.
So the old gunman has to keep fighting.
After the Suns eliminated the Warriors, the league's investigation team also obtained the results of the investigation.
The situation exposed online is completely true.
At the same time, the league punished the second owner of the Lakers.
The second owner of the Lakers must sell all the Lakers shares he holds at the previous purchase price.
And he is not allowed to participate in any NBA investments for life, and is not allowed to watch games in person.
At this point, the investment made by the second owner of the Lakers can be said to have been completely wasted.
He bought 30% of the Lakers for $1.5 billion two years ago.
Now another 1.5 billion has been sold.
You must know that if inflation is taken into account, he not only lost money, but also lost money.
These losses are only explicit, there are also hidden losses, which are even more immeasurable.
Because his reputation was tarnished due to racial discrimination incidents, it will be difficult for him to find people to cooperate with him, and it will also be very difficult for him to invest.
It can be said that he can only live on his laurels.
This made Wang Yi’s fans feel happy.
It was on this day that James called Wang Yi.
Now, during the playoffs, Wang Yi lost internet and communication, but still kept a phone.
This phone number is only known to my parents, Nicole, Sister Luo and a very few friends.
Generally, if they have nothing particularly important to do, they will not disturb Wang Yi during the playoffs.
On the other end of the phone, James's voice came:
"Brother, I know you are about to play in the Western Conference Finals. It is not appropriate to say these words at this time, but opportunities wait for no one. Let me ask you one thing, do you want to invest?"
Wang Yi had already guessed what James was thinking: "You mean to acquire the 30% shares that the Lakers are selling now?"
James replied: "That's right."
Wang Yi frowned slightly: "Active players are strictly prohibited from acquiring team shares."
James said: "We can acquire it in the name of other people. For example, in the name of a relative, which is what Magic Johnson did back then."
Wang Yi also became interested when he heard this: "Then I would like to try it."
James immediately said to Wang Yi: "The current 30% stake in the Lakers is US$1.5 billion, which means that every 1% is US$50 million. How much do you want?"
Wang Yi weighed the money he could afford now.
It seems that it is difficult for me to acquire 1% now.
I thought I was considered a rich man now, but when it came to playing football, I was still very poor.
James seemed to hear Wang Yi's dilemma:
"I'm afraid you don't have much money on hand. In this way, I can lend it to you first, and you can tell me how much you want?"
Wang Yi suddenly became energetic: "I want them all."
When James heard this, he laughed loudly: "You are too greedy. How about we give you half of the 30% shares and 15% each?"
Wang Yi nodded: "But lend me US$750 million, will you lend it?"
James replied: "Borrow, of course. Whose name do you plan to purchase these shares in? You can prepare his information for me in the past two days, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
Wang Yi still has great trust in James.
Although James is a very shrewd businessman, in all honesty, he is indeed not bad at dealing with others, and he would never cheat his brothers.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Yi finally decided to invest in Nicole's name.
If you and Nicole are already married and want to invest in Nicole's name, the alliance may interfere.
But now the relationship between the two is just boyfriend and girlfriend, so there is nothing to say about their investment.
And one thing is that Nicole has a very strong background. It is very reasonable and logical for her to invest in a team.
Wang Yi told Nicole about this.
Nicole was a little unhappy.
