0412 Crazy Counterattack
After the second game, the Lakers got three days off, and Su Yang held a conference call on the 23rd.
First, we have a talk with the Kings boss Maluf Brothers, mainly understanding the composition of Kings' shares, as well as some debt and lending relationships, which is a process, and then we talk about how to pay, how to deal with Kings' history, etc.
The talks were very pleasant. The Maluf brothers were quite happy about suddenly selling tens of millions more, which was enough to make up for their operating losses for several years. Su Yang knew that the Sacheng Consortium had no fluctuations in his heart and just wanted to get it done quickly.
After chatting with the Maluf brothers, Su Yang talked in detail with Max Friedman, the owner of the development company of the new stadium. The main thing is how to plan the theme design of the new stadium, which is mostly conceptual things, and Su Yang's core concept is to be simple and convenient.
After hanging up Max Friedman's phone call, Su Yang turned to tell Jiang Ruolan: "When this company is developing, it is necessary to find someone to supervise the entire process, and review and check the leaks after the stadium is developed to avoid them committing favoritism and fraud, causing potential huge hidden dangers."
Jiang Ruolan smiled and said, "It sounds like you don't trust this developer, but they were designated in advance by Sa City Hall..."
Su Yang nodded and admitted that the main reason was that Max Friedman, who had participated in the design of the collapsed apartment in Florida in the future, was very surprised when he first saw the information of Max Friedman, and he thought he had discovered it early.
This kind of developer should be replaced, but the land ownership of the new stadium belongs to the Sa City Hall. It is estimated that the PY transaction has been reached long ago. If it is necessary to replace it, there will be many troubles. In order to get the bid as soon as possible, I can only choose to endure it.
As noon approached, Su Yang spoke to Stern again.
"Congratulations, I sincerely hope that you can win this bid. I will try my best to promote the deal between you and the Maluf family..." Stern said bluntly. On the one hand, he believed that Su Yang could lead the king well, and on the other hand, he emphasized that he did not have the power to force him to sell it to Su Yang.
According to Stern, the NBA Council can only agree or reject the King's relocation plan and have no right to decide to sell it.
"Thank you for your strong support. I will help the league develop a larger market and bring more benefits to the league..." Su Yang said, but thought to himself, 'I believe you, you old man is very bad, why did you force Sterling to sell it?'.
Anyway, the NBA is a microcosm of American power. There are no objective standards. The core principle is only interests.
In the afternoon, the bidding committee further broke the news to ESPN and other media, proactively mentioning that the king would not be relocated.
Su Yang decided to do that mainly because he didn't believe in Sa City Mayor Kevin Johnson, and he didn't want to be controlled by the city hall.
Although it is easy to guess, fans were still quite excited after ESPN reported, especially Kings fans.
Kings legend Chris Webber wrote: "Su Yang will be the boss who knows basketball the most in the NBA's history. He is willing to let Sa City fans continue to have the Kings. I fully support him in the Kings. If you need me to do anything at that time, please feel free to call."
Fan Darryl Saeturn wrote: "Just like the Oklahoma City Thunder, the NBA is the only professional sports in Sacramento. Of course, we hope that the Kings will stay here forever. I am 27 years old. I hope that when I was 97, I can watch the Kings game with my grandchildren. Now Su Yang can help me achieve this goal, and I support him!"
Kings defender Isaiah Thomas Jr. wrote: "I am very excited to be a Sacramento Kings player and a boss who is super sensible as Su Yang, we will have a bright future. I am willing to spend my entire career with the Kings!"
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Yang officially spoke with Sa City Mayor Kevin Johnson, mainly discussing how to use the Kings to drive the economic development of Sa City, and how to build a new stadium to make that stadium a famous landmark building in Sa City and even North America.
Regarding this point guard who was able to make Nash and Kidd a substitute at the peak, Su Yang did not reserve much elsewhere except for worrying that the other party would control the acquisition rhythm, and said bluntly: "In recent years, the number of outbound tourists in China has increased significantly..."
Regarding how to use the Kings Team to drive the economic development of Sacheng, Su Yang's first strategy was to connect with the domestic tourism market. The main city of Sacheng has more Chinese and Asians, and the natural scenery and scenic spots are all right, and it can serve as a tourist destination.
Of course, the main thing is to show the Sa City Hall that having a complete plan can indeed drive the economic development of Sa City, so as to facilitate the ownership of mopping around the new stadium and even the new stadium in the future. That is the real big profit.
The Russian boss of the Nets did that, making a lot of money, making money around the Nets’ home court, making money crazy.
Kevin Johnson asked: "Will you sign a large number of Chinese players? For example, Jeremy Lin or YI Jian Lian, to achieve the purpose of attracting Chinese fans and increasing the price of overseas media broadcasts? I know Tencent is ready to enter..."
Su Yang thought it was all your business, but he said: "I sign a certain player and give priority to the team fit. I will make the playoffs as my minimum goal. If a Chinese player is suitable, I will sign a contract. If it is not suitable, I will naturally not sign a contract. As for the overseas media broadcasting fees, of course I hope to sell it at a high price, but I will not simply achieve it through signing..."
Regarding Su Yang's answer, Kevin Johnson did not make any comments, and the two talked about some topics and then ended the call.
"He doesn't seem to be excited about our plan, we obviously provide the best offer..." Jiang Ruolan was a little confused.
Su Yang chuckled: "He started to promote billionaire Andrew Burkel to acquire the king a few years ago, but the king's boss, the Maruf brothers, did not suffer serious losses at the time, so they refused. This time the alliance council would inevitably reject the king's relocation agreement. He finally saw hope and found Vick Ranadave to join, but we intervened and won a lot of support..."
At 7 pm, Su Yang and Jiang Ruolan had dinner while watching the second first round match between the Thunder and the Rockets.
The Thunder, which should have been crushed, was hard to distinguish with the Rockets. Halfway through the second quarter, he was still one point behind.
The more Su Yang looked at it, the more he was getting worse. He was thinking that he would never repeat the tragedy, but Beverly rushed towards Westbrook like a mad dog.
Westbrook immediately hugged his knees in pain and limped around the technical desk, and no one came to check it out.
"Damn it..." Su Yang put down his chopsticks, regardless of the fact that the Lakers coach was not qualified to interfere in the Thunder, and directly called Thunder general manager Presti, and said: "Let Verusbook come out of the field for inspection, and must not let him continue to play..."
In his previous life, Westbrook endured the pain and continued to fight after being injured by Beverly. As a result, he caused a meniscus torn and returned early after the operation, resulting in a knee repair surgery again. Although the recovery effect was very good, it also left hidden dangers.
After explaining, Presti was silent for a long time and finally said: "I will tell the coaching staff all the time, it will be up to them to decide..."
Su Yang didn't force it. He knew Westbrook's stubborn personality and would probably continue to play in the game. As the saying goes, personality determines destiny.
After hanging up the phone, he tweeted: "I advise Westbrook not to continue playing, as it will increase the chance of severe knee injury. I have no intention of offending, just as his friend, I hope he has a better body."
A few minutes after the tweet was posted, it suddenly increased to the hot topic list. Fans praised Su Yang for his affection and friendship and worthy of deep friendship.
But Su Yang sat in front of the TV. After seeing the suspension, Westbrook continued to play, and he felt deeply helpless.
The game was over quickly. Westbrook was able to run and jump in the second half, with a total of 8 of 16 shots, helping the Thunder narrowly defeat the Rockets with a two-point advantage.
Su Yang was ridiculed by fans, and Thunder boss Tom Ward also tweeted and cursed: "I didn't expect you to use tricks..."
At noon the next day, the Thunder officially announced that Westbrook had undergone a half-month restoration surgery season reimbursement, and some fans apologized to Su Yang.
More fans chose to pretend nothing happened, while Thunder boss Ward deleted the Twitter that cursed Su Yang using tricks.
But Su Yang received more praise from fans, and even Ken Yang, who has always been "reversed when Su Liu", praised him for taking seriously the players.
For a time, I hope that Su Yang's call to take over the king would reach a very terrifying level. Many fans promised that if Su Yang was the king's boss, as long as the king went to their city to play games, he would definitely buy tickets to express the team's support.
In the NBA, away teams will also affect home ticket sales. For example, the ticket prices and sales speeds of Kai's North Shore Garden home games against the Timberwolves and against the Lakers are completely different. Every NBA boss hopes that the away team will be attractive.
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban tweeted: "If a large number of fans fulfill their promises, then I hope to fight with the King more..."
Mark Cuban's tweets obviously represent the thoughts of some NBA bosses, and the probability of Su Yang entering the Kings has increased again.
The Seattle Consortium headed by Chris Hanson and the Sashi City Consortium headed by Vic Ranadave were very unwilling to accept it.
Chris Hanson announced his willingness to increase the purchase price and give another 29 NBA teams, each with a $4 million relocation allowance, and Vick Ranadave told the NBA Council that the share could be reduced.
Chapter completed!
