I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 628: After retiring, Wang and Pago

In order to join the Bobcats, in order to get his fourth championship, the number of championships surpassed Kobe when he retired, O'Neal chose to join the Bobcats, indeed he was burdened with too much pressure.

Because, before O'Neal joined the Bobcats, the whole world knew that O'Neal was the league's number one'anti-xiao fighter', and those players and teams that were'persecuted' by Chen Xiao all regarded O'Neal as an'anti-xiao flag'.

Take Malone, for example, after the Nets F7 was hacked by Chen Xiao, Malone told O'Neal before retiring that he would cheer for O'Neal and hope that O'Neal will one day defeat Chen Xiao to avenge them.

At that time, O'Neill and Malone's love for each other was even spread as a good story.

But now?

Joining directly, this makes Ma Long's love so embarrassing.

What makes these people even more embarrassing is that O'Neal was scolded by them for not being a little low-key, and he actually fought back, saying that the sun's teammate is a cat and a dog.

Although the other teammates are not mentioned, since you can think that the Suns teammates are cats and dogs, do you think other teammates are also cats and dogs?

For a time, O'Neal directly used his wave of operations to make him the number one red man in the NBA.

In this regard, Chen Xiao also thought in his heart, will he be happy because he has once again become the focus of the entire league?

After all, O'Neal is not a player to speculate with common sense.

Of course, although O'Neal is now being attacked by the entire NBA, with the addition of O'Neal and Kidd, the current situation of the Bobcats is also very eye-catching.

There are optimistic ones, and of course there are also optimistic ones.

What is optimistic is that the Bobcats have got Kidd and O'Neal, two players with great reputation in the NBA.

Not optimistic, the Bobcats also got Kidd and O'Neal.

"Although we all know that the Bobcats got Kidd and O'Neal in response to the threat of the Heat, but this is likely to be a decision that does not pay the price. Both Kidd and O'Neal are too old, and in order to get these two and sign this year's With three rookies, the Bobcats let go of the team's five very good rotation players in one go.

Perhaps, after the Bobcats get O'Neal and Kidd next season, their strength will not rise but fall. "

The truth is such a truth. It is never possible to see a thing from only one side.

However, for the Bobcats fans, they still want to see Jordan's operation.

"The team is finally no longer passively responding to the pressure of the Heat, but proactively attacking!"

To get O'Neal, this is of course the Bobcats' initiative.

As for whether the Bobcats can complete their goal and defeat the Heat, it will only be known after the end of this season.

As the second largest player signed by the Bobcats in team history, when the Bobcats signed a contract with O'Neal, Chen Xiao also appeared on the scene to express his welcome to O'Neal.

O'Neal is now in a very bad situation in the entire league. If Chen Xiao falls into trouble again and says he is not welcome, then the entire United States will think that O'Neal is a joke.

Of course Chen Xiao would not do such a thing, because the Bobcats now really need O'Neill.

Although the two were rivals before, they were still the kind of mortal enemies who didn't like each other.

But even so, the goal of the two people is the same now, that is, the championship.

Therefore, even if the two don't like each other anymore, at the signing ceremony of Bobcats and O'Neal, both Chen Xiao and O'Neal embraced and talked and laughed like friends they had not seen for many years.

After returning to the backstage after signing the contract, the smiles on Chen Xiao and O'Neal's faces quickly closed.

Cole next to him, Curry and others saw Chen Xiao and O'Neal look like they all smiled and shook their heads.

"It looks like the dressing room of the Bobcats will not be calm next season."

The two are still a little worried.

But as the team's head coach, Joe's boss, it seems that Chen Xiao and O'Neal are in such a superficial situation that they don't care at all.

He really didn't care so much.

Because when he was in the Bulls, the relationship between him and his teammates was not so harmonious, but did this affect them to win the championship together?

The NBA has never been such a fairy tale. The cooperative relationship between Chen Xiao and O'Neal is normal, and the Bobcats, Cavaliers and Nets that Chen Xiao used to bring are abnormal.

As long as everyone's goals are the same, it is to cooperate in confrontation and move forward together in friction.

Although Chen Xiao and O'Neal had communicated on the phone before, the meeting between the two of them was certainly not as harmonious and friendly as the two imagined.

For O'Neal, if it wasn't for the championship, he would not come to the Bobcats and Chen Xiao to partner and carry the entire NBA infamy.

For Chen Xiao, if it were not for winning the championship and defeating the Heat, he would not accept O'Neal as his teammate to the Bobcats.

Therefore, the two people are very clear about the relationship between the two, that is, they are pure collaborators.

After Chen Xiao welcomed O'Neill, he flew from Charlotte to Oakland in the Bay Area.

Of course, Chen Xiao didn't come here to suddenly terminate his contract with the Bobcats to join the Warriors.

Mainly for Pago and Wang Ge platform.

Pago announced his retirement from the Grizzlies some time ago, and after Pago announced his retirement, Wang Zhizhi, 32, who has three championships in the NBA, also announced his retirement.

Pago retires normally at the age of 34, but Wang Ge is indeed a bit early.

Although Wang's current strength is declining, there is still no problem with the contract for several years in the NBA.

But obviously, for Brother Wang, he still has something more attractive to him.

After Wang Ge and Bago met to retire together, the two set up a sports investment company, ready to buy the Golden State Warriors they wanted to sell.

Wang and Pago have made some money in the NBA these years, especially Pago. From 2003 to the present, Pago has been middle class every year. In addition, there are still two years of unexpired contracts. Pago has been The NBA earned less than 20 million U.S. dollars, not pre-tax, but after-tax.

Coupled with the fact that they also have a lot of Facebook stocks that Chen Xiao has invested in, it can be said that the assets of the two are quite surplus.

Although they are not as good as Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan, according to the current Facebook valuation of 23 billion US dollars, after the shares of the two are sold together, plus some support from Chen Xiao and Yao Ming, the two of them can be a good candidate for the Warriors. The team initiated the acquisition.

After all, before the Suns' resale price was only 400 million U.S. dollars, and now the Warriors' resale price should not exceed 500 million U.S. dollars.

The development of the NBA is now very good, but after all, the US dollar is still quite valuable before inflation has reached the sky.

What's more, although the Golden State Warriors is a good place, it is really not popular.

However, even if the Golden State Warriors no longer have much popularity, because of the good development of the NBA, the bidding of the Warriors has caused 14 consortia or structural bids.

Among them is a consortium led by a magician whom Chen Xiao is very familiar with. In addition to Bago and Wang Ge, there is also a Chinese consortium. Among these 14 consortiums, the most popular is of course the original Oracle CEO Larry -Ellison has the loudest call to win the bid.

After all, he seems to have the thickest net worth.

Of course, the thickest net worth does not mean the most cash. Even if Bill Gates, it is not easy for him to spend 500 million US dollars at once.

So Larry Ellison's bid may not be the highest.

Chen Xiao knew that for this auction, Wang and Pago had already sold all their Facebook shares to Goldman Sachs.

The current valuation of Facebook is 23 billion, and Goldman Sachs bought it at an estimated price of 50 billion. It is not Goldman Sachs who burned too much money, but the Russian Digital Sky Technology Company wants to use 50 million US dollars to buy 0.1% of the face of Bago. Book shares.

With the rapid development of Facebook under the impetus of Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan, fools can see that once this company goes public, its market value will definitely go to heaven.

With Goldman Sachs's move, it means that Facebook is about to go public. As long as these shares remain, the value of Bago and Brother Wang may more than double in a year or two.

However, for this opportunity to acquire the Warriors, Pago and Wang resolutely emptied their shares in Facebook. Coupled with the continuation of the two over the years, they made up almost 300 million U.S. dollars.

It’s a lot of money, but it’s a bit close to buying the Warriors.

So Chen Xiao and Yao Ming also supported some, mainly Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao has a lot of cash.

Therefore, Chen Xiao established a foundation in the name of his son, invested almost 150 million US dollars, and invested in the investment company established by Wang Ge and Pago in the name of the foundation, accounting for 31% of the shares.

It can be seen from this proportion of shares that the consortium organized by Pago and Wang has nearly 490 million in cash.

This money is actually pretty scary.

Of course, this cash is definitely not necessarily invested in the Warriors. After all, bidding, naturally, hopes to win at the lowest price, and no one's money comes from the wind.

However, because of the existence of big names like Larry Ellison in this bidding, even if the cash collected by Bago and Brother Wang is close to 500 million, they feel that they are not very relieved.

Therefore, Chen Xiao felt that he should not use up all at once, but Pago and Wang were obviously frightened by Larry Ellison.

Therefore, Bago's bid to acquire the Warriors is almost a direct stud for all the cash he can mobilize.

The final result, of course, is that the consortium led by Bago and Wang successfully defeated the team of Magic and Larry Ellison and won the bid of the Warriors.

In the end, the second highest bidder was not Larry Ellison, but a joint venture between Joey Lacob, a shareholder of the private investment company KleinerPerkins, and Peter Guber, president of the film company. A consortium, their bid is 460 million US dollars.

Obviously, after the financial crisis, even Larry Ellison was not so proud for the time being.

As a well-known former NBA player, the acquisition of the Golden State Warriors by the consortium formed by Wang Ge and Bago naturally quickly replaced O'Neal's turmoil and became the biggest news in the NBA.

After all, Wang Ge and Pago bought the Warriors, but it was the highest purchase price in the history of the NBA.

So far, it is the highest.

At this point, Chen Xiao has also indirectly become a shareholder of an NBA team, well, just like Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan controls all the Cavaliers in the name of his wife, while Chen Xiao indirectly controls 31% of the Warriors’ shares in the name of his son’s foundation. He is the second largest shareholder of the Warriors. The first is Pakistan. Brother, the second is Chen Xiao, the third is Brother Wang, and the fourth is Dayao. Dayao has a small share of shares, with 9% of shares in the name of Ye Li.

After reaching an intention to acquire the Warriors, Bago and Brother Wang only need to wait for the various bosses of the league to confirm, then they will leap from players to NBA bosses. This is a qualitative change of identity.

"Pug, Brother Wang, congratulations."

"Xiao Chen, don't congratulate us. The boss sounds good, but we are all paupers now. If we don't manage to lose money in the future, we might have to kneel on the washboard every day."

This is a fact. So many Facebook shares they hold for one year will definitely double their value. Isn't this more fragrant than taking the risk of acquiring the team?

Moreover, they not only bought shares in Facebook, but also suppressed their own belongings. Although it may be an exaggeration to say that the pauper is a bit exaggerated, it is certain that they have downgraded the consumption of their wives and children.

It would be strange if the sister-in-laws were satisfied.

However, this is the dream of Brother Wang and Pago, and the dream of continuing their NBA and basketball dreams. Such a fight is also worthy of understanding.

Although Pago and Wang retired from the NBA, they did not directly withdraw from the status of basketball players.

Because of this year's Tianjin local men's basketball Asian Championships, the two will bid farewell to the leaders.

Therefore, on August 1, Chen Xiao also returned to China from the United States.

He will not participate in the Asian Championships this time when he returns to China, neither he nor Dayao will participate.

This time he returned to China, one is to cheer for the Chinese team in the local Asian Championships, and to add luster to the retirement ceremony of Bago and Wang. In addition, Chen Xiao also needs to sign the "First Sports" to launch his own first. The signature sneaker of'First Sports'.

Yes, the endorsement contract between Chen Xiao and Houzi expired in August this year.

Hook seemed to want to renew the contract with Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao decisively refused.

With the high coldness of the hook, the reason why they would put down their bodies to ask for Chen Xiao to renew is because they made a desperate bet to pave the way for Xiao Du in the regular season last season.

In this case, the UU reading www.uukanshu.com hook now doesn't even have a good star.

It's not uncommon, Xiao Zhan and Hook still have a year, but Xiao Zhan and the others can't do it now.

The hook used to hate Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan who couldn't move.

But now, Hook suddenly discovered that as long as Chen Xiao and Xiao Zhan didn't join the opponent's camp, it was acceptable to be immobilized.

It's just obvious that it's too late, and it's hard to get over it.

Of course, Chen Xiao wouldn't care about Hook's pain now.

When returning to China this time, Chen Xiao was moved to see that Wang and Pago took the team to the top of Asia again and ended with the cheers of the fans in the "Legend".

Very moved.

"Xiao Chen, we will have this day too!"

Yes, we will have this day too!
