These days, Li Ke, who is in Luocheng, has not been idle for a whole day.

He first went to Kobe's manor in Orange County. When he saw Kobe again, he also met the Lakers recruiters.

General Manager Mickey Kupchek, Jim Buss, who is still in power, and Kobe and Ga’s wife, the Lakers are very sincere.

But Li Ke's request has not changed, he wants equity.

Of course, he is not Xiao Ka, and his purpose is not to have free equity, he gives money.

Whether it is Ballmer or the Bass family, Li Ke emphasized that he is willing to acquire part of the equity at a price that exceeds the market price.

In order to avoid the restrictions of alliance rules, his cousin will temporarily hold these equity shares.

The purpose of obtaining equity is to be able to control the team legitimately.

In fact, for Ballmer and even the Bass family, Li Ke only demanded a part of the equity, or bought it at a market price, which is not an exaggeration.

Excessively, it is the so-called control of the team.

Ballmer felt that Li Ke was just a player, and it was too much more concise to control the team.

Jim Bass regards power as life and is even more unlikely to agree to give up control of the team.

Later, Li Ke also met Nets general manager Billy King in Los Angeles City, Mavericks boss Mark Cuban and general manager Donny Nelson, Heat operations president Pat Riley and head coach Eric Spoelstra, Du Xiao and Thunder general manager Sam Presti...

When Billy King heard that Li Ke wanted equity, he understood that he could not do this master. He immediately told Li Ke that he wanted to contact his Russian boss...

Mark Cuban turned around and left with Donnie Nelson. Even Dirk was unable to get equity from him, Li Ke?

However, he felt that Li Ke reminded him that Dirk devoted himself to the Mavericks and it was time to give him some equity as a reward.

Pat Riley also turned around and left. Even he, the godfather of the Heat, was unable to deduct equity from Mickey Allison's mouth. Li Ke?

Sam Presti scratched his head, glanced at Xiao Du beside him, and thought to himself: Even if the boss is willing to give it to him, Xiao Du is not willing?

In short, the meeting went smoothly, but as soon as the equity was talked about, the talks would definitely collapse.

Therefore, Li Ke also accepted his fate, and he called Lu Ning again to make the movement there slightly faster.

It was also at this time that Li Ke met Darrell Mogou in Luocheng.

To be honest, at the beginning, Li Ke felt strange, why did the other six teams predicted by ESPN come, but the Rockets didn't come?

He felt that the most unlikely to be absent was the Rockets. Yao Yao was on the verge of retirement, and his nephew's performance in the past two years was just a substitute, which was really embarrassing to the great task.

The Rockets want to continue to enter the Chinese market, and Li Ke is now flowing into the free market, which is the Rockets' best opportunity.

Such an excellent opportunity, will they not seize it?

Sure enough...

But I have to say that Mo Gou's visit was really late at this time.

Despite this, Li Ke still "enthusiastic" greeted Mo Gou and asked him to sit down in the living room of Julia Roberts' residence.

Mo Gou should have received some rumor before coming, even though Li Ke said, "I am very willing to join the Rockets. If the Rockets can meet my requirements, I can sign the contract now!"

Mo Gou still shook his head: "I heard that you made some very outrageous requests..."

Li Ke told Mo Gou: "If the Rockets recruited me, I wouldn't have those requirements."

In an instant, Mo Gou was extremely surprised: "Really?"

"certainly!"

It's like a fool...

Uh, no, it doesn’t matter, Li Ke is just making a fool.

At present, we have reached a two-year contract agreement with Mo Gou, starting salary of US$20 million and the second year player option.

Of course, it is just an oral agreement. If you really sign a contract, you have to wait until the free market and transfer market open.

...

David Falke, who had been helping Mo Gou, found it strange.

"Wait, did we miss something?"

"What's missing?"

"Sign first and then exchange? Why don't you tell Darrell that you need a transaction that signs first and then exchanges to ensure that you won't lose your bird right?"

Li Ke smiled and narrowed his eyes: "What do you think?"

"You don't like Darrell Mogou, so why not tell him directly that you have completed the acquisition of the Rockets?"

Of course, David Falke is not a fool. He guessed it early in the morning that Li Ke obviously looked down on Mo Gou, but he didn't understand why Li Ke didn't explain it to Mo Gou directly.

"Isn't it interesting to tease fools?"

"You're a little too much..."

Is it too much? Li Ke doesn’t think it’s too much!

Yes, that's right, Li Ke has completed the acquisition of the Rockets.

After meeting with Ballmer, the Bass family, Cuban and other teams, Li Ke accelerated the acquisition of the Nets or the Rockets.

On the Nets, Russian boss Prokhov is still holding an air, hoping to raise the price by raising the price.

Li Ke didn't talk nonsense, and turned around and negotiated with Rockets boss Leslie Alexander to acquire it.

There may be many people who are surprised by Alexander's sale of Rockets, but you should know that Alexander is over 70 years old and lacks energy.

The only daughter was not interested in basketball at all. With no successor, a Chinese consortium with the name of Li Ke came to her and asked for a maximum offer of US$2 billion.

Alexander no longer hesitated and directly agreed to the sale.

But because the acquisition still has to be processed, everything has not been officially announced, and even Mo Gou, the general manager of the Rockets, is completely unaware of it.

"So, will you live your life with the Rockets?"

"Nonsense, I'm already the Rockets' boss!"

"Have you thought about what to do this summer?"

"Of course, the first step is to fire Darell Mogou!"

"Who will take over? His deputy general manager, Sam Sinki, is very good."

"Then what, do you have a clue about trading or something?"

"Not yet, but what is certain is that in the first season, we will still focus on stability."

"Stable, what does it mean is to leave Chris Bosh and Golan Dragic?"

"That's right!"

“Where is the draft?”

"If I remember correctly, the Rockets have a draft pick with the 18th pick in the first round this year and a draft pick with the 32nd pick in the second round?"

"uh-huh……"

“Package, trade forward!”

"Who are you interested in?"

"Dervin Booker!"

“Where is the free market?”

"PJ's contract expires, so I'll grab it directly. There is Yao, and I will advise him to play for two more years, at least, win a championship before retiring..."

"So, do you think you'll lead the Rockets to the championship soon?"

"That's of course!"

Li Ke is very confident, and David Falke also believes in Li Ke very much, because Li Ke has succeeded countless times in the past eight years.
Chapter completed!
