Chapter 141 Grizzly Bears Change Owners
Jiang Dongbing fell silent and began to wonder why Xiao McCaw would make such an obviously insane decision.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Dongbing could roughly guess what Xiao McCaw was thinking.
The Grizzlies won the championship last season, but their final net profit was US$14 million, which means McCaw made a net profit of US$14 million.
It seems like a lot, but the Grizzlies' expenditure this season is much more than last season. At least Jiang Dongbing's contract is 9 million US dollars more than last season, so even if the Grizzlies continue to win the championship this season
, Xiao McCaw may not make much money.
Some people may find it incredible that since they have won the championship, the team does not make any money?
It is indeed a bit incredible, but the fact is that Vancouver's football market is too small and the market itself is so big. Even if they win the championship, they will not be able to attract more fans.
From this we can see why the market value of the Knicks or Lakers teams is so high. Even if they don't win the championship, they can earn tens of millions a year. If they win the championship, the income will make McCaw envious to death.
The current situation of the Grizzlies is indeed relatively good, but as the saying goes, a flower can last forever. If Jiang Dongbing runs away in the future, the Grizzlies may not even have the current profitability. It is better to take advantage of the current high market value of the Grizzlies.
It's sold.
The price offered by Haisley was quite attractive, and Xiao McCaw was extremely excited.
At that time, the fee for the Grizzlies to join the league was US$125 million, and the same was true for the Raptors. The fees for both teams were the same at the time.
Now the American Heisley has directly offered a price of US$320 million. It's strange that McCaw is not interested.
If McCaw himself is rich, he may not look down on this price, but he is not a very rich owner. Now that he has made a lot of money and retired, there is no need to bear the future possibilities of the team.
Risk of loss.
Jiang Dongbing thought for a while, and if it were him, he might make the same choice, unless he was as wealthy as Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen.
"Jiang, this is Michael Haisley." Stewart introduced in a low voice next to Jiang Dongbing.
Jiang Dongbing nodded, he was indeed an opportunist like Haisley...
The history of Haisley's fortune is actually quite fictitious. The owners of most NBA teams are either engaged in high technology, industry, or media.
And Haisley made his fortune by speculating. His job was to buy companies and then sell them to earn the difference. Even this second-hand dealer, who bought and sold, actually made his worth reach close to
One billion dollars.
Now Haisley is preparing to acquire the grizzly bear. According to Stewart's speculation, he is probably planning to become a second-tier dealer. After acquiring the grizzly bear, he will wait for the grizzly bear to continue to appreciate in value, and then sell it to earn the difference.
From the tone in which Stewart introduced Heisley, Jiang Dongbing could tell that he was extremely dissatisfied with Heasley's acquisition of the Grizzlies, but he was just a worker? Even if he was dissatisfied, it would certainly not affect the overall situation.
"Stewart? Isn't he here to buy our Grizzlies?" Jiang Dongbing asked knowingly.
Stewart nodded silently, "Under negotiation? Maybe the price hasn't been agreed upon yet. Let's meet with us executives today."
"Okay? Stewart? Don't worry? Even if the boss changes? You won't be affected. You will definitely still be our general manager." Jiang Dongbing smiled.
"I hope so? My eyelids have been twitching recently? I heard you said that eyelid twitching is not a good sign, so I am very worried now." Stewart said worriedly.
Jiang Dongbing was speechless. It seemed that he was really subtly influencing the people around him, from the human-shaped Chinese character dictionary Jackson to the current superstitious Stewart.
"Don't worry? Isn't there someone above you? With Stern protecting you, who would dare to shoot you casually?" Jiang Dongbing joked.
Stewart looked directly at Jiang Dongbing as if he were a fool, "God, you don't believe this kind of rumor, do you?"
"I do have a personal relationship with Stern, but if you want to protect me, how is that possible? I would rather believe that you can protect me than Stern..."
Jiang Dongbing was even more speechless. There was no one on Stewart's side after they had been making love for a long time.
"Guys, sit down, today I'm going to introduce a friend to you." Little McCaw stood up and said loudly.
Jiang Dongbing and Stewart found a seat and sat down, wanting to see what McCaw was going to say.
"As we all know, our Grizzlies are now the strongest team in the entire NBA, and may even be the strongest team in NBA history!"
"As a team that has just been established for a few years, we can achieve such great achievements without the efforts of everyone here, especially our head coach Mr. Jiang Dongbing, who has made great contributions to the rise of our Grizzlies. I
Greatful!"
"Unfortunately, because of my personal financial problems, I may not be able to continue to fight side by side with you all to witness the birth of the Grizzlies dynasty." McCaw said with a lonely expression.
Jiang Dongbing's heart skipped a beat. Good guy, what does Xiao McCaw mean? The team has been sold?
The other executives in the conference room all had unnatural expressions. Although it was natural for the boss to sell the company, he should discuss it with the veterans before selling, or at least give them advance notice.
"I'm very happy to meet all of you here, especially the young coach Jiang. He is really heroic. No wonder he can lead the Grizzlies to achieve such results."
"Don't worry, everyone, although I have bought the Grizzlies now, I am ready to change everything about the Grizzlies. I hope that everyone will perform their duties, continue to lead the Grizzlies forward, and strive to create a Grizzlies dynasty." Haisley smiled lightly.
He said to everyone present.
Everyone at the scene calmed down a little. The new boss didn't seem to be planning to make personnel changes, which was still acceptable. At least their jobs were saved.
Originally, what they were most worried about was that the new boss would come and they would all lose their jobs.
Jiang Dongbing is naturally not worried about this. If Haisley really fires him, he will be able to find a new owner in the next second, and the treatment will definitely not be worse than that of the Grizzlies.
As long as a wealthy team like the Knicks or Trail Blazers nods, they can't wait to come to Vancouver with eight sedans to invite them away.
However, according to Haisley, this person is quite aware of current affairs, and he clearly realizes that the Grizzlies really rely on Jiang Dongbing now.
…
The game between the Grizzlies and the Utah Jazz begins in the evening. The players must still not know that their boss has been replaced, but even if they know, they probably don't care much about it.
