The ending does not only mean a farewell of sadness, it is more likely to be a new beginning. There is no shortage of legends in sports, but how many perfect endings can be remembered? Always choose to bid farewell. Some people choose to retire when they become famous, and some people choose to continue their company in another way.

Houston Rockets owner Alexander can be described as a thunderbolt for many Bunny fans. In the five seasons that Yao played for the Rockets, more than 30 million people watched each game on television. It can be said that also starting from Dayao, nba has a breakthrough in the rabbit country market, allowing the Rockets and nba to gain popularity in the rabbit country. In this regard, both NBA and Bunny fans should thank Alexander well.

Andy naturally knows that the old Jewish man in front of him is not willing to sell the Rockets in his hand, but he must raise a large amount of cash to save his investment company. Alexander ’s personal investment interests are mainly in real estate, sports teams, and investment funds. This asset mix is ​​undoubtedly a very stable investment portfolio, but in the current real estate bubble burst, triggering the subprime crisis, causing market panic and the stock market crashing, it is undoubtedly a fatal toxic asset ratio.

"So, Andy, my $ 400 million quote is definitely a very cheap price." Alexander took the lead to say that the negotiations between the two parties had actually been almost completed, but because of the huge differences in prices, I could not find one The right balance.

"Alexandria, let's point it out directly. This price will not be accepted by anyone at the moment, and I can't accept it. Since the Rockets won the championship twice, the results have not improved. It is a revolutionary storm.

However, both Yao and Tracy McGrady suffered extremely serious injuries last season. Dayao played only 57 games, while Tracy McGrady played only 47 games, which made the Rockets unable to advance to the playoffs.

Everyone knows that the huge market behind the big rabbit country of Dayao has also brought huge benefits to the Rockets, but his salary is not low, and my team has evaluated that Dayao because of his height and weight The change has entered a period of frequent injuries. No one can be sure how long he will rest next injury. This will affect the team's performance ... US $ 330 million, which is the most reasonable given by my think tank. The price is also my biggest concession and sincerity. "

Andy looked at Alexander in a frown with a serious expression. "I like to be straightforward. The new season is about to begin. We don't have much time."

Although Alexander's brows were frowning, he would not be led by Andy this young man, his frowning brows slowly stretched, shaking his head and smiling: "Andy, everyone knows the value of Dayao, plus McGrady, The combination of the two superstars has inspired the team's soaring economy. The team's annual revenue is about 140 million, and the Rockets' balance of payments and surpluses are definitely a big toy that can be satisfactory. 400 million The US dollar is really not expensive at all. I have made a lot of concessions. After all, the market value of last year has reached 436 million US dollars. "

"Alexandre, you know, the Warriors who created the Black Eight Miracles were only quoted at $ 270 million, and even the Clippers in Los Angeles were interested in selling it, but Los Angeles, if you insist on this price, we have no way to continue "Andy was unmoved. The two are now talking about their intentions, and they can repent at any time. Although Andy is worried, Alexander needs funds.

Alexander definitely wants to sell the Rockets, which has almost become an established fact. After all, a lot of preparations have been made for the sale in the early stage. The young man who mentioned the purchase intention did not want to spend too much money, and Alexander learned that Andy So the main reason for choosing the Houston Rockets is because Texas is the foundation of the Smith family, and more of the team's influence than the team's lineup.

Of course, this is the conclusion that Alexander himself thinks and his team's analysis. After repeated weighing, Alexander had a general bottom line before he came, "Well, you win, Andy, I will make another 20 million, 3. $ 800 million ... "

"360 million, I believe that as long as you refresh yourself, it will be resolved quickly. Cash payments, in this period of time, you undoubtedly need cash more. I think you sell him earlier to you and me. It's all good! "If this price is exceeded, I'm sorry, I can only choose another goal. "

Hearing Andy's words, Alexander did not feel angry because of his interruption, but was relieved. He now knows Andy's psychological price, at least exceeding his set price limit of 350 million.

"Yeah, selling him earlier is good for you and me, so let's go!" Alexander's decision was quite unpleasant, if not for a divorce a few years ago and paying $ 250 million, The bubble has not burst, the bank has not tightened the loan, he really will not choose to sell the Rockets, and it is meaningless to say anything now, let me go through the difficulties first.

With a bright smile on Andy's face, he raised his wine glass and bumped into Alexander and said, "That's fine, I wish us a smooth transaction."

David Stern, who has been watching the two, saw the two toasting and drinking together, and realized the bright smile on the face of this young man, Andy immediately thought of the deal being reached, and told his new friends around him After apologizing, they came to the two of them.

"How are you, two, have you negotiated?"

Alexander nodded with a complex smile on his face and said, "The alliance still needs to agree to the deal."

"Yes, Mr. Stern. I'm going to bother you next," Andy said with a happy smile on his face, raised his glass, and touched David Stern.

"No problem, Leslie, thank you for your contribution to the league over the years. This team is undoubtedly successful. You not only watched the Rockets win the championship for two consecutive years, but also brought Dayao to Houston. NBA's influence in the rabbit country has taken a qualitative leap. "David Stern nodded and said, looking at Alexander, who was a little complicated, and said.

"Thank you." Alexander couldn't help sighing. It seems that the president of the alliance is also looking forward to the young man in front of him, which will bring more attention.

After all, the transaction has not yet been finalized, but only an oral agreement, and the transaction contract has not been signed. Of course, David Stern cannot congratulate and welcome Andy in the presence of Alexander.

The three talked together for a while. Now that the main purpose has been achieved, Andy also needs to entertain the others. Sorry to leave the small circle of the three and choose the Rockets because Andy prefers to have it all by himself. A team that turns it into a personal item is more in line with his Andy Smith personality, rather than sharing it with others.

The shares of the Warriors belong to several people. Andy is afraid that it takes a lot of effort and time to complete the privatization. It is not as simple and direct as the Rockets. As for the Clippers, huh, he doesn't want to go to Sterling as the head of injustice. The old **** went to slaughter.

"Do you think he will chase the championship from the beginning like you took over the Rockets?" David Stern raised his glass, took a sip, and stood side by side with Alexander, watching Andy leave. The back asked.

"He is so young and not short of money. Hehe, the Rockets will become the most dynamic and energetic team in professional sports! And winning the championship is the pursuit of every league team owner, except for the rogue in Los Angeles. Joker. Since the league agreed to the Celtics' three giants this summer, the future league will gradually become the world of giants to win the championship. A huge luxury tax, huh, this is not acceptable to me. Houston fans have been complaining about me It ’s okay to quit at this time, I hope he can bring the Rockets a championship. "

Listening to Alexander ’s somewhat self-deprecating words, David Stern ’s president of the league naturally knew that Alexander ’s analysis was very accurate. From Jordan ’s retirement, the Great Sharks to Los Angeles, the era of the giant ’s group has begun. The reason why they agreed with the Celtics Of the three giants into the army, which naturally has these transactions is a big deal involving multiple teams, the most important thing is to increase the NBA game watching and break the monopoly position of the Lakers and Spurs.

While Preston Tisch was chatting with several other acquaintances, one of them slightly raised his chin with a smile, and whispered to Preston: "Our banquet master is here. Leiston, it looks like you can make a fortune again. "

Preston looked disapprovingly and glanced at the young, tall Andy, who shook his head and smiled, "I haven't decided whether to sell."

"Hah ~ Do n’t be kidding, Tischi, the Giants ca n’t play without Wellington. Look at it now, it ’s a mess. The inside of your team is a mess. People in the Mara family have no intention to take over the Giants. I had long wanted to exchange it for cash. Unless you can completely turn the Giants into your own, otherwise the future is worrying, and it is better to sell it while it is worth it. "

Listening to friends, Preston also smiled and shook his head. If his good friend Wellington Mara knew his children's current behavior, I wonder if he would be furious, watching, a few friends around and walking away Come and smile, Andy Smith shook hands, and he sorted out his mood and shook hands with Andy.

"Mr. Stitch, don't know my proposal, how are you thinking?" Andy is not the first time to communicate with Preston, so he did not go around the circle, and went straight to the subject after greeting him a little.

"You can already get 51 percent of your shares, and this part of my shares does not pose a threat to you. Isn't it good for us to work together?" Preston said with a grin.
