Chapter 699: : [The Bruce family makes a lot of money]

  David Stern is a scheming man. In the process of promoting the alliance, he has experienced many challenges, but without exception, he resolved them.
  For him, Li is really another big blade for the NBA to expand its influence again, even bigger than Michael Jordan.
  So he ignored Li Zhen’s lace news, just as he never commented on Michael Jordan’s off-site news.
  Now, Sterling kicked the ball over.
  He even gave a good cry.
Selling the Clippers to the Li and his sons is undoubtedly the best choice. He has always worried that Li Zhen will leave the NBA one day, because his wealth from outside the court has far exceeded that on the court. He and Michael Jordan have great the difference.
  Most of Michael Jordan’s wealth comes from basketball, which is his only way to make money.
  But Bruce, his book wealth has been able to rank in the forefront of NBA bosses...so, why not just let him be the boss?
  David Stern held a meeting of all NBA bosses.
  Once something like the bottom line is broken, the next thing will be faster.
  From the moment they acquiesced to the Li Zhen family to own 20% of the shares, Bruce Lee was already a detached existence.
  Li's real existence benefits everyone in the league. His huge star halo increases the influence of the entire league, and any team against the Clippers can enjoy the ticket blessing.
  Although the plan proposed by David Stern makes every boss feel a little wrong.
  But at the same time, they really want to tie Li Zhen to the NBA permanently. So the best way is to make him the owner of the team once and for all. Anyway, now, the Clippers Club must sell.
   "We have to set some difficulty. Otherwise every player will ask the team so in the future." Mark Cuban was the first to express his attitude.
  He is a businessman, and the businessman is always seeking to maximize profits.
  David Stern had already expected it.
"Of course there will be strict regulations. We call it the exclusive privilege of the glory players, and the relatives or the relatives of the players who have won two consecutive MVPs in the finals before the age of 25 have the right to get the equity of any team. But the equity transaction cannot override it. It is above the normal contract. It should not affect the player contract."
  David Stern said slowly.
  "Then what if this player deliberately pays himself a very low salary after becoming the boss?" The Phoenix boss put forward his opinion, which he believed would affect the fairness of the game.
  "The second rule is, as long as a player who becomes a team shareholder, when he serves in this team, the team must pay him a maximum salary. Of course, he also has the freedom to change jobs and trade." Stern emphasized.
  The two laws come down.
  All of you here are smart people, and you all understand, this is just tailor-made for Li Zhen.

   "This is not fair!"
  James Dolan slapped the table and jumped up. He said angrily: "Why didn't you do this two years ago? It is clear that you are targeting the Knicks."
  This is everyone's expected reaction. If James Dolan didn't say so, it would be an accident.
  James Dolan is very distressed now, he thinks it is now against the Knicks. He feels like a victim.
However, Mark Cuban next to him has already satirized him there: "Who told you to drive off Bruce back then? You guys prefer to challenge the difficulty. The two consecutive championship teams don’t want to pay 100 million luxury taxes to prove their financial resources. Who is the blame?"
  The yin and yang of Mark Cuban made the billionaires in the conference room unable to restrain their smiles.
  David Stern settled, he soon announced his vote.
  29 teams.
  Except for the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Charlotte Bobcats and Houston Rockets, all voted for!
  The minority obeys the majority, no doubt.
  David Stern announced the passage of this clause... Do not even discuss with the players union, this is something that the bosses can solve.
  That evening, David Stern appeared in front of the media with a serious face. He quickly announced that after all the bosses in the league had discussed and passed a new bill.
  The details of this clause were sent to reporters half an hour ago.
  David Stern ignored the reporters’ inquiries and ignored the stinging questions raised by the New York reporters.
  What does this mean? Is this brazenly favoring Bruce Lee?
  Of course it is!
  Otherwise, why do you have a meeting? The finals have been stopped for almost a week, should we continue to shelve it?
   Strictly speaking, Bruce Lee is also the food and clothing parent of your group of media, forcing him away, where do you get so much news and so much traffic.
   "Jack Lee, since you have made a reservation in advance, now you have the priority. If you choose to give up, you can apply to the alliance headquarters within two working days."
  David Stern finally shouted to the TV.
  The trick is enough.
  This is the rigor of Westerners.
  ……
  Jack Lee is in the circle.
   Is that done?
  The Los Angeles Clippers just fell into my hands?
  He looked at Li Zhen incredulously.
  Li Zhen turned around to look at his Lao Tzu: "Are you going to give up?"
   "Of course not!" Jack Lee shook his head quickly: "But I don't have so much cash."
  Li really smiled.
  He thought that such a high-quality asset of the Clippers could only sell for six billion US dollars. As long as Jack Lee yelled, a lot of banks came to provide low-interest loans.
  It’s just that Li Zhen hasn’t spoken yet.
  The daughter-in-law Ashley Olsen on the side said: "I have money, can I have some shares?"
  Jack and Li thought they were all daughter-in-laws, so how could he not agree?
   Accept it now.
  This promise is incredible.
  Annie Hathaway hurried over to act like a baby to her father-in-law: I also have money, and I want to be a shareholder.
  Followed by Scarlett Johansson.
  Mary Olsen.
  Elizabeth Olsen...
  I’ve been talking about this all day, Li Zhen can’t favor one another, he has to get a share for Gisele Bundchen, who has just given his remaining child, and Sharapova.
  Also, he left 20% for Taylor Swift's girlfriend group.
  After all, rain and dew are covered.
   Frankly speaking, Lao Li has a bit of mixed feelings.
  Although he knew that his daughter-in-law was rich, he did not expect to be so rich.
  Where is the bank needed?
  After a while, he made up nearly 800 million, and even had a surplus.
  In the end, Li Zhen came forward. With the assistance of lawyers, everyone formed a consortium headed by Jack Lee.
  Jack Lee does not own any shares this time, because he originally had 20% of the shares.
  This acquisition of 80% of Sterling's shares was divided into several blocks. Twenty percent of Swift's best friends. Ashley Olsen received 10%, Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson, Gisele Bundchen, and Sharapova each received 9% for the Li family's pregnancy. Sisters Mary Olsen and Elizabeth Olsen each got 5 percent. The rest is Ms. Anne Wang's.
  This is the suggestion made by Ms. Anne Wang.
  Because Professor Wang is a person who thinks about everything.
  She knows her son well, what if? In case he gets into trouble again and gets one or two back, he must not leave some shares for others.
  This is a family-style joint venture company. You can’t treat the latecomers as outsiders, and you have to be covered in rain and dew.
  The lawyers in charge of the contract are all blinded.
  He is well-informed in his life, but he has never seen this before.
  Based on his good self-cultivation, he can only contain the endless resentment deep in his heart, and when he drove the car out of the Li's mansion, he shouted: Bruce Lee, go to you, you have ruined my superiority as a man!
  This kind of scene, who will not collapse?
  ……
  Sirling was sad to have the equity settlement with Jack Lee. He was sad, but still a little bit relieved.
  Although his property was taken away abruptly, but at least the person who took his wealth was his friend.
  And, overall, in the Clippers business, he did not lose money.
   "Jack. You have to be careful of the women around you, and never let anger occupy your brain." When Sterling handed over the team to Professor Li, he did not forget to convey the lessons to Li Zhen.
  He really didn’t want Old Li to repeat the same mistakes.
  At the same time, he continued to say to Jack Lee: "You have to remind Bruce that now he is the boss, don't play with women casually, if any woman catches fire in the backyard, he will be done."
   Although Jack Lee kept nodding, he did not agree.
  If Sterling knew that the group of women behind Li Zhen was buying his team, he might be even more excited.
"Donald, you are a very good person. From the first time we met, I thought you were a noble gentleman. Thank you for putting the team in the hands of our family. We will do our best to turn the team into Better look."
  "This is the permanent season ticket we provide you. We will even make an exclusive seat for you in the front row of the home court to recognize your contribution to the team."
  Jack Lee is very good at talking on the scene.
  Chinese people are like this. You can always use words to make people feel respected, but in fact there is no practical action at all.
   Sterling is now a mouse crossing the street. He dared not appear on the sidelines of the basketball court at all. In case the black player is excited for a while and rushes over, he will have to play this old bone completely.
   Sterling was really moved. He patted Professor Li's hand with tears in his eyes. Lao Li's family are all good people.
  The Chinese are empathetic!
  However, he still declined Professor Li’s proposal. At this age, he can no longer take this risk.
  The two said goodbye.
   Sterling left his office in a hurry, and this is Jack Lee’s office space ever since.
  ……
  The news that the Li Zhen family became the actual controller of the Clippers was announced, and the schedule for the third game of the finals was also in place.
  LeBron James and others never dreamed that the biggest beneficiary of this noise was Li Zhen.
  They originally thought that the suspension of the Finals would collapse the Clippers’ morale.
  Unexpectedly...Is the finals still important now?
  Bruce has become the owner of the Clippers.
  He did what Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan did not.
  Furthermore, it is conceivable that...the morale of the Clippers must be overwhelming now, and they have ushered in a historic turnaround after depression. They don't have to work for the racially discriminatory boss, they can directly work for the Bruce family they admire.
  Why?
  Why is the age limit before 25? Why can't it be before 28?
   LeBron James struggles with this issue.
  Born in 1984, he is almost 27 years old this year. He has not won the first championship of his career. He has lost the qualification to become an NBA team owner as an active player.
  Why did Li Zhen get all the good things?
  Why do all the rules follow his conditions?
  James is very regretful.
   What makes him even more regretful is that a group of young NBA stars are very excited. The owner of the Bulls even encouraged Derek Rose there: "Come on! As long as you get the Finals MVP before the age of 25, we will give you shares!"
  This new clause has become a weapon for the team to encourage young superstars.
  More and more news is showing that young superstars have given up their vacations and started crazy training. Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, Westbrook, Stephen Curry... They are all like sharks smelling blood.
  In contrast, the players who crossed the 25-year-old mark are all very sad.
  Especially Kobe.
  After Shaq O’Neal retired, Kobe Bryant is the only player in active service who has won two consecutive Finals MVPs, but his age card is too dead.
  He can’t get the Lakers’ shares.
  Fortunately, the Lakers will not treat those who have done a good job, and their contact with Houston has reached the most critical step.
  The consortium that failed to acquire the Clippers set their sights on Houston, and Ballmer, who was among the top ten on Microsoft's second wealth list, negotiated with Alexander.
  If there is no accident, he will buy the Houston Rockets for nearly 900 million US dollars.
   And once he completes the acquisition, Yao Huang will join the Lakers unstoppably.
  Of course, looking back at this number.
  You can see how much money the Bruce family made from Grande Sterling.
  The Clippers’ ability to attract gold is much better than Houston, but he only sold 600 million US dollars.
  Some media ridiculed Sterling. He was thrifty all his life, but a video tape made the Bruce family complete.
  The Bruce family didn’t do anything, and the valuation after resale doubled.
  Moreover, as long as the Clippers win the championship, their market value will continue to increase.
   and will increase further as the team’s influence expands.
  In the future, it is very likely to become the most valuable team in the league.
  Ashley Olsen was all there muttering, this is definitely the most valuable financial management.
   also increased the interaction between them and Li Zhen.
  They are getting better at using the identity of the boss to communicate with their number one player. For example, that night, Ashley called him into the room as the number two shareholder and subtly ruled him.
  Sure enough, it has a special flavor.
  Li Zhen suspected that he might also have some problems.
  ……
