The Godfather of Basketball

Tang Tian couldn't sit still.

However, he is still a little short of money. The cash that his company can squeeze out is only about 560 million. Including the proceeds from selling the Warriors, the total is less than 1.1 billion. There is still a gap of 500 million.

This gap was filled by Swift and Hathaway who went bankrupt.

Boss Ma was very keen. When Swift sold his shares, he contacted Tang Tian immediately.

"Sell me 1% of the shares, and you can own the Nets in full."

Boss Ma's proposal is full of temptation.

Based on Ali's market value, 1% is more than 2 billion. He can not only buy 41% of Boss Ma's shares at once, but also buy the 55% of Prokhorov Arena. It is the full control of the Nets in the true sense.

However, Boss Ma's proposal was perfunctory by Tang Tian.

Doing business is not just playing games, it’s good to be happy in your heart. Ali is still appreciating now, and the appreciation space of the 2% shares is more than that of the entire Nets team. It was just listed not long ago, and it was far from reaching its peak.

Boss Ma was not in a hurry, he was anxious waiting for Tang Tian.

Tang Tian was really in a hurry. If it really didn't work, he could only buy the team's shares first.

But in desperation, Jones gave him a suggestion after knowing it.

loan.

Jones has spent much longer in the NBA than Tang Tian, ​​so he naturally knows more than Tang Tian.

When buying a team, some people will form a consortium, but some people will directly borrow from the bank.

After all, even a person worth tens of billions of dollars cannot take it out all at once.

This allowed Tang Tian to clear the clouds and mist and see the sun. Anyway, the profit of the Nets, tens of thousands of interest is not much.

"Do you want to get a loan from the Bank of New York?" After learning about Tang Tian's actions, Rat suddenly called to ask.

"Well, personally, I really can't afford that much cash at once." Tang Tian thought that Lat was concerned that part of it was a loan. After all, it would take time to get the loan and it would cause certain economic losses to the other party.

"You should come to me. I know the president of the Bank of New York. He and I are old acquaintances. I can ask him to give you the lowest interest rate, and I can ask him to approve it as soon as possible." Contrary to Tang Tian's expectations, Rat It turned out to be help.

There was someone to help, and Lat was also a local giant, so he had no reason to refuse.

"Thank you, Blatter." Tang Tian thanked.

"You don't have to thank me, I'm also part of this business."

Tang Tian smiled, Lat was honest, but with his help, it would indeed save a lot of trouble.

The lowest interest rate is naturally within the rules. The 500 million loan is not a small investment for the bank. In fact, the bank itself is very interested in this business.

A week later, the loan was fully credited. Tang Tian gathered all the cash and directly bought all the shares related to the Nets in Lutter's hands, 20% of the team's equity + 45% of Barclays Center's equity.

The Nets also officially announced the news shortly after.

After completing the acquisition, Tang Tian's equity in the Nets increased from the original 39% to 59%.

In other words, he surpassed Boss Ma and became the largest shareholder of the Nets! That is the so-called big boss!

Since he decided to sell Boss Lu 3 years ago, he has finally become the big boss of a team today!

Moreover, the remaining 39% of the shares of Boss Ma and the 55% of the arena shares in Prokhorov's hands, the acquisition is only a matter of time.

After finalizing the team lineup and completing the acquisition of shares, almost a month after the end of the season, Tang Tian was finally free.

As the boss, he is probably the busiest one.

Tang Tang and Tang Hao had already started babbling at this time.

"dad."

The daughter is really Dad's little padded jacket. When he returned to the manor, Tang Tang was hugged by Aragaki Yui, and he waved excitedly in his direction and kept shouting.

"Hey, my little baby." Tang Tian went to pick up Tang Tang and teased her with his hands.

"You're back?" Hathaway came down from the stairs at this time, but she was alone.

"Where's sky?"

"He was playing basketball in the room." Hathaway said helplessly.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing. It seems that his son will definitely take the path of professional basketball in the future.

"Are you going back to China this year?" Hathaway came down and kissed Tang Tian. Although she said she didn't care, she felt a little bit lost when she saw Tang Tian, ​​a god dragon who never saw the end.

"Go back later this year." Sensing the change in Hathaway's expression, Tang Tian hugged her and said.

The basketball school was officially opened to the public last year, and it is running steadily now. As for the training camp, it is also operated by his team now. It is necessary for him to go back, but there is no need to stay as long as before.

Hathaway's face brightened, and she hugged Tang Tian and gnawed on the spot.

"Father?" At this moment, Tang Hao climbed to the top of the stairs and shouted in their direction.

The shout startled them, and Hathaway hurriedly threw Tang Tian up to hug Tang Hao.

Tang Tian smiled wryly and shook his head. After having a child, it is true that the child is the most important thing.

For the next month, Tang Tian would spend time with the child's wife, playing ball with little Tang Hao, and listening to her mother singing in the recording studio with Tang Tang. sentiment.

It's been a long time since time travel, this can be regarded as the most leisurely month for him.

He didn't fly back to China until early September.

The basketball school has been promoted by the media, and because of his name, the source of students that was worried about before is not a problem at all, and the Basketball Association has paid attention to youth training in recent years, not to mention Guo Ailun and Zhou Qi who have already played, it is Zhao Supernovas such as Rui and Fan Ziming have also begun to emerge, and the basketball school seems to be taking advantage of the trend.

Although Yao Ming's retirement brought the strength of the national team to a new level, the visible future is still full of hope.

Tang Tian also took time to go to Changsha.

In more than half a month, the men's basketball Asian Championships will start here, and the men's basketball team, which has been preparing for more than five months, has come here ahead of schedule to adapt to the new training.

Unlike the previous life, Guo Shiqiang is leading this men's basketball team. After studying in the United States for many years, his ability is much stronger than that of his previous life, and he is not much worse than Gong Luming in his previous life.

Also here, Tang Tianshi saw Zhou Qi again after two years.

The first feeling is that it is really a lot stronger, not only compared to two years ago, it can be said that it is more than a circle stronger than the same period in the previous life.

When he held a basketball training camp 4 years ago, Zhou Qi invited Tang Tian to train with the Cavaliers coaching staff in the summer. Tang Tian agreed at the time. It was not only about the training methods, but also about the diet. of.

Later, he changed teams one after another, and Zhou Qi also trained at his own expense in summer, and the effect seemed to be immediate.
