Legendary Basketball Tycoon - Chapter 725
There is no purpose, no purpose at all!
Bruce really didn’t expect Stern to be so reluctant, so he would lend money to Jordan to buy a team. His loaner didn’t say anything, and Stern was in a hurry!
“There is no purpose. If there is a purpose, it is that Michael and I have reached an agreement that I will establish an alliance with him in the future.”
“Mr. President, you also know that I have offended a lot of people over the years. If Michael can form an alliance with me, Michael’s status will be there. If someone targets me, then he can speak for me, right? In the future, I won’t be targeted at the industry committee, will I?!” Bruce replied nonchalantly.
In fact, Bruce didn’t care about these things. He lent money to Jordan except for the alliance, just thinking that if he could have one more friend, he would be one less enemy. He really didn’t think much about the rest.
But even if Jordan is not in the league with him, it doesn’t matter, as long as the first owner of the league is still sitting with his “godfather” Paul Allen, then nothing will happen. Just kidding, Paul Allen’s worth can buy more than half of the team right now! Who dares to stab the head!
Stern has been thinking about what Bruce said, and also thinks that Bruce has told part of the truth, that is, it is true that Bruce has made many enemies over the years, not to mention the Knicks, the rivals in the same city, the Heat in the East, the Lakers and the Jazz in the West, all with Bruce. The relationship is not good, and the power of the owners of these three teams in the league can’t even be underestimated, let alone Bruce.
So the argument that Bruce Jordan is an ally still holds true.
“Bruce, you know that it’s impossible for the owner of a team to have a stake in another team, and you can’t even get involved in Paul’s Sonics, so the team that Michael bought has nothing to do with you. Are you still willing to lend money to Michael?!”
Stern had a showdown, he was afraid that Bruce would get a hand on the Hornets, and now from the information he got, the current SuperSonics, except for Paul Allen, the owner of the supersonic team, secretly all rights belong to Bruce In operation, this is clearly illegal.
Although the rest of the league doesn’t know it, Stern also knows that it won’t last long, so he has to make it clear to Bruce.
It’s not enough to say that you secretly controlled the SuperSonics, and now you are still “supporting” Jordan to buy the Hornets, preparing to secretly control the team again, isn’t this too lawless, what does he think of Stern? !
That is to say, the property rights of the Sonics are still in Paul Allen’s hands. Who Paul Allen asks to help with the draft and trade is his own business, even if O’Neal’s grandmother is invited to be the general manager and the management of other teams in the league. The layers can’t say anything.
In addition, Paul Allen is childless now, and he will definitely be ordered to sell the team by the league if he is gone in the future. The picture of Bruce trying to control the two teams is definitely not acceptable.
And Bruce also understood what Stern wanted to say.
Not to mention, Bruce really doesn’t want to engage in two teams. Now he is responsible for the transactions and drafts of the two teams. It’s already a headache. If it’s a lifetime, it won’t hurt even more!
Bruce, who still wants to be chic in the future, has long planned to sell the NBA SuperSonics and the NFL Flying Eagles to Bill Gates, his “godfather”, after Paul Allen is a hundred years old. Bill Gates, who is also a local hukou in Seattle, is the most ideal target!
“I understand, Mr. President, you have to believe me! I really don’t have any other ideas. At most, let Michael help you privately train Chinese players, and let his team choose a few Chinese players to compete. No participation, really!” Bruce hurriedly assured.
In fact, as Bruce said, he really has no other ideas. If Jordan wants to ask him about the draft, he will definitely mention a few more things. As far as Jordan’s “vision” in his previous life is concerned, if Bruce If I don’t remind him, I don’t know how long it will take him to get the money back!
“Really?! You promise?!” Stern asked worriedly.
It’s true that Bruce, this little brat, has a criminal record. Now he has secretly controlled the Supersonics. If he really reached an agreement with Jordan to control the Hornets, the consequences would be too serious.
“I promise, I promise!” Bruce assured with a hand out.
Although it was a child’s play, Stern knew that he really had nothing to do with Bruce, because the Supersonics still belonged to Paul Allen on the surface. Bruce did not violate the rules. He was just making his own “suggestions”. It was the SuperSonics general manager who did it, which led to the fact that Stern couldn’t take Bruce.
“Bruce, it’s good for you to be clear. I tell you, you’d better not intervene in supersonic matters. It’s not good for you. I’ve said it all!” Stern said bitterly.
That is, Bruce’s current status is “special”. Obviously he is a rich man in China, but in fact he has a very good relationship with various countries, especially the Tianhan Empire consortium under Bruce, who often “supports” the backward countries in the world, and also won the Secretary General of the Federation. Praise, for this honor, as long as Bruce doesn’t break the law, there’s really nothing to pull him off the horse.
Stern also took into account that Bruce’s identity is not ordinary, it is better to focus on “warning” now!
“understand!”
“By the way, Mr. President, just after the meeting, I saw Mr. George Sinn, the owner of the Hornets, rushing out to find you, what’s the matter?!” Bruce rolled his eyes and prepared to change the subject.
“It’s nothing, that **** George just doesn’t want to sell the team. He’s already stinky in Charlotte and wants to move to another city!”
Stern is also bothered by this. Since the George Sinn scandal, the attendance rate of the Hornets’ home court has been very low, and the local Charlotte fans have not bought George Sinn’s account. , There are only two ways in front of George Sinn, either relocate and move the team to another city, or sell the team. Obviously, George Sinn’s **** chose the latter, and he is reluctant to sell the team.
But Stern is not used to him. As long as the owner of the team has a huge scandal, then I’m sorry, you have to sell the team. The league needs to be absolutely clean.
“Moving to another team, interesting!”
“Mr. President, won’t you allow him to move?!” Bruce asked with a smile.
Just kidding, if George Sinn moves the team out of Charlotte, what’s the use of Jordan buying the team, going to another city to be the owner doesn’t mean much to Jordan.
