Chapter 736: Only 1 competitor: Ballmer

"Adam, what's Richard doing now?" Stern sat in his office, rubbing his forehead. Obviously, he was also burnt.
Xiao Hua smiled bitterly, "There is no action. After the press conference, he calmed down there, but the players were quite restless, and the possibility of a strike in recent days cannot be ruled out."
"Hey..." Stern sighed a long way, and now he wants to strangle Stryn directly.
It is absolutely unacceptable for Stern to strike players, which will cause irreparable losses to the NBA league.
"Is there evidence in this matter that Richard is behind the scenes?" Stern asked, frowning.
Xiao Hua shook his head...
Many people in this matter suspected that Richard was moving, but no one had evidence, so no one dared to talk nonsense.
The last person who angered Richard was named Sterling...
For things that have no evidence, it's strange that Richard can let him go.
So now everyone is aware of what everyone knows, but no one talks about it.
"This person is really terrible!"
"He was just a stunned boy for more than ten years ago. I didn't expect that after more than ten years, he had reached such a point that he was ruthless." Stern was also a little bit afraid...
This incident directly forced Sterling to the edge of the cliff, and it is still the kind of cliff that he has to jump without jumping. Anyway, there is absolutely no place for him in the NBA league.
"Mr. President, we should act quickly on this matter, otherwise the impact will be very bad, and may even make the fans feel that we are covering Stirling." Xiao Hua said seriously.
Stern nodded, why didn't he know this, but there should always be a process for anything, and the league hasn't even launched the investigation...
"Forget it, skip the investigation process, there is nothing to investigate anyway."
"Tomorrow to inform the NBA bosses of the meeting, this meeting they certainly had better come in person." Stern said with a sigh.
The only purpose of this meeting is to vote whether Stirling can stay in this league...
The voting has not yet begun, but the results are definitely doomed, even if the bosses of 29 of the 30 teams in the NBA league today are white...
Even if there are certainly people like Stirling among the bosses of this gang, no one will risk the world to give Stirling the platform at this meeting, which is definitely the end of self-defeating.
"Adam, when this is over, I will consider retiring. Now that I am old, I really have no energy to deal with these embarrassing emergencies." After finishing the meeting, Stern suddenly appeared A sentence.
"It may be the end of this season, or it may be the end of the next season, you are well prepared, I will let you pick up my shift."
Xiao Hua froze for a moment. Although he knew that there would be such a day long ago, he did not expect that it would come so early.
After leaving Stern's office, Xiao Hua was still a little unable to calm down. Will it take long for him to take the position of president?
Under his own leadership, where will the NBA develop? Would it be better than the alliance Stern is building now? Is it better now?
...
Xiao Hua Mali informed the bosses of the teams that this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. If it is delayed, it will not benefit anyone.
After receiving notifications from the Pirates, Richard and Jordan decided to go to New York together to participate in this meeting.
The reason is very simple. Richard is considered to be the main victim of this incident. As Jordan is the only black boss in the league, it is not suitable for both of them. They must play.
On the plane to New York, Jordan sat beside Richard.
"Lee, did you promote this incident?" Jordan was curious and asked Richard.
Right now it’s not just Jordan, there are countless people who doubt Richard...
"No, Michael, do you think I'm so magical?" Richard asked with a smile.
Jordan nodded solemnly.
"Lee, you are more magical than we thought."
"I have a strange hunch, maybe our partnership will not last long." Jordan looked at Richard with a deep heart.
Richard did not respond to Jordan, but just smiled lightly.
"Lee, if you have the idea to sell the equity of the Pirates, please let me have the right to buy first."
Jordan sighed.
Richard nodded undetectably. If everything goes well to the point where he wants to take the shares of the Pirates, he will definitely sell it to Jordan first.
...
Just after getting off the plane, Richard's mobile phone received a news link from Sun Xiaoben.
Richard clicked in and found out that it was an interview with Magic Johnson.
Like Richard, this time the magician was scolded by Sterling by name, and it is quite normal for him to accept an interview.
The only abnormal thing is that the magician mentioned in this interview that he wants to form a team to buy the Clippers...
...
The Magician is considered to be a good mix among retired players. It seems that except for Jordan, it is necessary to count the money the Magician makes after retiring.
A few days ago, some media reported that the magician's current net worth is $800 million.
It seems that the net worth of 800 million US dollars seems to be a lot, but it is really necessary for the magician to bring in cash. He estimates that he can't even get out 100 million US dollars.
He is engaged in physical industries, for example, many Starbucks stores have half of his shares, and also invested in restaurants and so on...
These industries are the old masters of the magician, he will not sell his old masters in order to buy the Clippers.
If the Clippers are not doing well, he will find someone to reason with.
So he thought about forming a consortium to jointly acquire the Clippers.
Richard also knew from the memories of previous lives that the magician had the idea of ​​acquiring the Clippers after Stirling.
But in the eyes of Richard, the magician is not the biggest competitor, or even the competitor.
Richard’s real competitor is Ballmer, who just took over Bill Gates’s class in 2008 and is now the president of Microsoft.
In terms of net worth, he is still not as good as Paul Allen, but it won't take long before he can surpass Paul Allen's ranking on the Forbes Rich List.
Under normal circumstances, in 14 years, Ballmer smashed 2 billion dollars to win the Clippers...
Interestingly, at the time, his competitors included Yao Ming in addition to the magician.
Under normal circumstances, Yao Ming retired as early as 14 years. He was similar to the Magician at that time, and he also wanted to form a consortium to acquire the Clippers.
As a result, the two men were directly circled by Ballmer's generous efforts. They originally predicted that the value of the Clippers was between 1.2 billion and 1.5 billion US dollars. As a result, Ballmer directly smashed 2 billion...
And because the time point is four years ahead of time, the Clippers are definitely not worth so much money. The market value of the teams announced by ESPN last season, the Clippers are not as high as the market value of the Pirates, about 630 million US dollars. about.
Even so, Richard felt that the Clippers’ premium would certainly be quite serious. Even if Ballmer did not participate, the Clippers would have a premium of nearly one billion dollars!
And if Ballmer came to blend in, it would be a billion dollars away.
The only thing that Richard deserves to be thankful for is that Ballmer’s worth is not too exaggerated at present, only less than 10 billion US dollars.
...
"Johnson wants to buy the Clippers?" Jordan also sneered when he saw the news.
"This guy thinks a little bit, how could the Los Angeles team be acquired by him."
"Lee, I will raise funds as much as possible in the recent period. The funds I raised here can hang three Johnsons. I don't know what this guy is thinking."
Hearing Jordan’s words, Richard shook his head with a smile. He didn’t take Johnson seriously at all. What he wanted to know most now was whether there was any movement from Ballmer.
Richard calculated that the market value of the Pirates was about 700 million US dollars last season. If he sold half of his equity to Jordan, he would get 350 million US dollars.
I have some projects that don’t have much potential at my site ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and I can sell them, and I can probably make up 500 million dollars by then.
I lent the Golden Dragon 350 million US dollars before, and there is certainly no way for the Golden Dragon to return all the leaders, but it should not be a problem to come up with about 150 million US dollars...
In this way, he probably owns one billion US dollars of capital, which is the capital he can take out without hurting his muscles and bones.
If you sell those stocks with unlimited potential plus equity, it must be another matter.
But Richard will certainly not be stupid enough to move those potential stocks...
One billion dollars is the limit of Richard now. If Ballmer does not participate, this one billion dollars is almost enough.
And if Ballmer wants to enter the field to disturb, it's hard to say.
But Richard did not worry too much. He still has the strong backing of Paul Allen. He can't save his life...
