Chapter 771: Old Bath

"Old Bath, this time it happened because of Jim Bath, so anyway, your Bath family must properly solve the current dilemma!"
"If we continue to do this, our earnings this season will be greatly affected."
On the board of directors of the Lakers, many small shareholders have already begun to urge Lao Basi to quickly resolve the serious situation in front of him.
"Mr. Bass, I can't figure out what conditions Richard has put forward? It is even more difficult for you to accept than making money. You should be aware that this consumption is quite detrimental to our Lakers."
"Yes, who will have a hatred against the US dollar, Richard is nothing more than asking Jim Bass to apologize, even if he puts forward any stringent requirements, now he has to agree to get rid of this situation."
"I think that as long as Richard doesn't want the equity of the Lakers, other conditions are acceptable, and Richard can't ask for the equity of the Lakers, so I can't figure out why he can't agree to the conditions he mentioned." You said small shareholders I said a word, and began to talk coldly.
This didn't happen to them, they could naturally speak the word, just say what they want, in short, don't let them suffer losses.
Old Bath was sad, these small shareholders were coaxing, if they knew the request made by Richard, I am afraid that it would not only cause coaxing, it is estimated that more drastic measures would be taken.
Although the minority shareholders' equity is not much, but together they also occupy one-third of the Lakers' equity, which should definitely not be underestimated.
"This matter, I will try to solve it in the short term." Old Bath said with a frown.
"Okay, we believe you, Mr. Bass, and hope that the current difficulties can be resolved within a week. At least we have to let Kobe and others play first."
"Although the loss of the regular season record has little effect, but the key to the problem now is that we have made a lot of less money."
Many small shareholders say it to you again and again.
...
At the same time, Xiao Hua is actively contacting Richard, and he also wants to quickly calm down this matter.
However, when he learned from Richard's request that Richard made a request to Old Bath, he was also dumbfounded.
Richard actually wants Old Bath to sell Jim Bass's stake? This requirement is really difficult for some too strong people.
"Li, do you want to change the request? Your request is really embarrassing the old Bath. The Lakers' equity is regarded as the most precious thing in their family. Now you let them sell part of the equity, which is tantamount to cutting the meat." Xiao Hua worriedly said.
As one of the league's cash cows, the Lakers naturally don't want the Lakers to suffer too much change...
The bigger the change, the more likely the Lakers will sink.
Now Richard's request, if Xiao Hua is the old Bath, he would not agree.
"It is impossible to change the request, is it difficult? If not, why should I make a request?" Richard said with a smile.
Xiao Hua laughed bitterly, Richard was still Richard, completely unreasonable Richard...
Or rather Richard, who was unreasonable, this time Richard is in a position to reason, and it is obviously unlikely that he would be taken lightly.
"By the way, Lee, I am concerned about what Iverson is doing in the BIG3 alliance recently. Is this your hand?" Xiao Hua asked with a frown.
Although Lao Mei has a lot of basketball leagues, except for non-commercial NCAA, other basketball leagues are basically ticket-based, and there is no threat to the NBA at all.
Now the Richard BIG3 alliance has made Xiao Hua feel a trace of crisis.
All are retired veterans participating in the game, and they are also veterans of the star level. Such league attention must be quite high...
Now Xiao Hua wants to test what idea Richard is playing.
"Yes, it is indeed the idea I put forward, but Adam, don't worry, the BIG3 alliance has no impact on the alliance."
"Their games will be held during the NBA offseason, because they are all veterans of the NBA retired, so you can also think of them as a subordinate league of the NBA league. Of course, the management power certainly does not belong to your league management committee. meeting……"
"I know what you are worrying about, Adam, you are a bit too worried, and I don't have the courage to start afresh." Richard said with a smile.
The so-called start-up is to re-create an NBA-like league...
Is there such a possibility? Have!
But it needs to pay a rather terrible capital price, and the early stage may be entirely a loss-making transaction.
And even if you smash money, it may not necessarily succeed, but you need a super talented person like Richard.
In the case of capital, Richard naturally has it. If he is not enough, there is Paul Allen...
As for the appeal, Richard is confident that he will take away a few stars from the NBA league, but the big deal will not pay much...
If it develops slowly in this way, it may not be impossible to rise in the future.
But unless Richard's brain gets flooded, he will engage in such a huge and risky move.
It’s just that it’s hard to please...
Xiao Hua breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Richard’s words. In his opinion, Richard’s madness is really possible to do anything shocking.
He was really afraid that when he woke up and opened his eyes one day, he saw the news that Richard took a bunch of stars to start a new fight, and ran to open a new basketball league...
Although this possibility is unprecedented, even a very small probability is scary enough.
"Lee, if it's other requirements, I can help you talk to the old Bath and ask permission to let him answer your request."
"But this request, I was really helpless." Xiao Hua said with a wry smile.
"Without your help, Lao Bath now has to agree if he does not agree."
"He is now under much more pressure than you think." Richard said with a smile.
...
Richard is confident that the Bass family will be allowed to go. They can survive one day or two, but they can never survive for half a month.
Sure enough, after the Lakers' sales of four home tickets have plummeted, under the mad pressure of the small shareholders, old Bath had no choice but to pick up the phone.
He has been forced to the cliff now, and it is okay to say that at home now, the next four are to go to their away game.
What hurts Bass is that in the next away game, there will be a game against the Portland Trail Blazers...
Paul Allen’s madness at the press conference before, old Bath has a fresh memory, he does not know whether other teams will really abandon the Lakers players, but the Blazers will definitely.
The Blazers Prison team, the Blazers stunned the youth team, there is no wrong nickname, this team is the kind of fierce team in its bones, ruthless to themselves, even more ruthless to opponents.
Paul Allen said double compensation, which is equivalent to giving players a channel to make money.
The league fined 30,000, Paul Allen gave 60,000, and players made 30,000 dollars in vain...
If you are banned for a long time, you will earn more money.
For example, if you are directly suspended from the season to the end of the season, it is equal to taking two seasons' salary...
This kind of good thing, for the marginal players of those teams, it is simply a pie!
It is conceivable that the Lakers will definitely be very dangerous when they go to Portland to play away.
At present, the four core players refuse to play. If the other players of the team are abolished and unable to play, then the Lakers will play a hair this season...
The key is Paul Allen's words, the other Lakers teams are a bit frightened.
In desperation, old Bath could only compromise. Under internal and external troubles, he had no other choice.
The only thing worth thanking the old Bath is that after selling the 11% stake, the Bath family still has a 55% stake and still has control of the Lakers.
First through the current crisis, and then long-term consideration, when the time comes to buy back some shares from small shareholders by means, it is expected that Richard will not be pursued again...
Of course, this is definitely not possible in the short term. It must be said how many years later people will forget this matter, and even if Richard wants to go viral, he can't find a reason.
Poor old Bath certainly didn't expect that he didn't live that long, and his life may not be up to that time.
Right now it is almost 2011~EbookFREE.me~ Old Bath died in 2013, which means that Old Bath has two years of life...
Two years later, expecting his children to regain equity? That is tantamount to a fool's dream, it is good for these children to not sell their shares.
"Li, I agreed to your request. I believe you will properly end this incident." Old Bath called and said directly.
"That's natural. I didn't plan to go to war with the Lakers. If it wasn't Jim Bass's idiot that caused me, there wouldn't be anything like today." Richard said with a smile.
In front of the old Bath, calling Jim Bath a fool, it is enough to see that Richard did not take the Bath family seriously.
The point is that Old Bath didn't think there was anything wrong with Richard's words. Isn't this little son a fool?
Perhaps he was described as a cheap man by stupid...
He really has the urge to strangle his little son now, and he really hates the itch for what the little son provokes this time.
