Chapter 706 Cheap, good governance (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  When interests and making money are combined, Chu Huan believes that he should be able to satisfy both his own interests and his own interests.

Magic Johnson and Bird Bird jointly ruled the NBA in the 1980s and expanded the influence of the NBA in North America. Now that Bird Bird has been selected by the Celtics, Chu Huan naturally cannot give up Magic Master Johnson!

Hearing Chu Huan's answer, Jerry West fell silent again. Just now she was thinking of playing a big show under Chu Huan's nose. That is, since Chu Huan has decided to choose Johnson, Take himself and make Johnson a forward.

But he didn't expect that Chu Huan never gave him this opportunity. During the conversation between Chu Huan and Jerry West, Chu Huan understood Jerry West's character, and Jerry West also understood Chu Huan's personality. character.

   That means being rich and self-willed, you'd better obey his decision, otherwise what's waiting for you is to pack up and leave. As for his status in the hearts of the Lakers fans, Chu Huan simply doesn't care enough.

A modern Aku stadium has already made Lakers fans have a strong impression of their home team's new owner. More importantly, as the head coach of the Lakers for the past three years, he has basically been consuming the Lakers. Fans feel good about themselves.

  Under such circumstances, Jerry West could only satisfy Chu Huan's request.

   "I got it boss!"

   After seeing Jerry West's attitude, Chu Huan showed a satisfied smile.

   At this time Feng Jing walked in and whispered something in Chu Huan's ear. Chu Huan nodded with a smile, got up and said, "Let's go, go and see Johnson, who is about to become a member of the Lakers!"

  Jerry West nodded, and the two walked out of the office together, came to the reception room, and saw Johnson and his son who were already waiting here.

Johnson naturally knew Jerry West, but he didn't know Chu Huan. After seeing Chu Huanzhi, he showed a puzzled expression. When the staff around him told him in a low voice, the young Chinese in front of him After being the owner of the Lakers, the doubts on Johnson's face became more obvious.

what's the situation?

  The owner of the Lakers turned out to be an Asian?

   Didn't you say the Lakers are owned by a bank in Los Angeles?

   In other words, this Asian is also the boss of this bank?

   Is this Asian a Japanese?

   Johnson, with countless question marks in his head, did not hide his doubts. After all, he was only a young man under the age of 20 at this time.

   "Hey, are you Japanese?"

  Magic Johnson asked Chu Huan carelessly.

  Chu Huan shook his head with a smile and said, "No, I'm a Chinese!"

   "Oh, I've never heard of a Chinese who would become the owner of an NBA team!" Magic Johnson exaggerated.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Then you already know it now!"

   "Hey, although we ate something on the plane, we are already hungry now. Don't you have something to eat here?" Magic Johnson continued.

  Chu Huan said: "There is a restaurant in the arena, why don't we go and have a meal and chat at the same time?"

   "Of course!" Magic Johnson said with a smile.

  Chu Huan walked out of the reception room first, followed by Jerry West, and Magic Johnson wobbled behind. His father grabbed Magic Johnson and whispered.

   "You shouldn't have talked to your boss with that attitude just now, after all, he will pay you in the future!"

  Magic Johnson's father is a cleaner at Chrysler Motor Company in Michigan. He and Magic Johnson's mother have a total of nine children. The burden of the family has already smoothed the corners of his body.

Magic Johnson shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "Hey, Daddy, he may just become my boss. You must know that I just led my university to the NCAA championship. Every NBA team Teams wanted me, so he was begging me to join his team!"

Johnson also understood what Magic Johnson said, but he also had his own worries, and said softly: "Although other teams also want you, the Lakers have a good history in the NBA. In addition, how much do you want? The salary is decided by them!"

  Magic Johnson didn't want to explain anything to his father, but just nodded perfunctorily.

   A group of people came to the restaurant of the arena.

  Chu Huan had a waiter come over and ask them what they would like to eat.

  Magic Johnson and his father ordered hamburgers, while Chu Huan ordered a glass of water.

"Johnson, you should know that our Lakers have won this year's No. 1 pick. I can tell you now that we are very satisfied with your performance in the NCAA, so we are going to sign you for this year's No. 1 pick! "

  Chu Huan sat there smiling and preaching.

  Magic Johnson said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Chu, although I would like to join the Lakers, but."

   Before Magic Johnson finished speaking, his father Johnson had already spoken at this time, saying: "So we are very willing to listen to the offer from the Lakers!"

  Jerry West said at this time: "Now is the draft, not signing free agents, so the choice is with us, not you!"

  Magic Johnson leaned back on the chair, pretending not to care and preached: "Of course, but maybe I can answer college and play another year in the NCAA, so I want $600,000!"

   "Hehe!" Jerry West sneered, and then said: "Jabbar is a superstar in the league, and he is also a good bargainer, but in the end we only signed it with a price of 650,000 US dollars!"

  Magic Johnson laughed: "So $600,000 is just right, of course, this is the current price!"

When Jerry West was about to say something, Chu Huan had already spoken up. Although Chu Huan really wanted to build a team he liked, a mere $600,000 was not much money for Chu Huan, but Chu Huan didn't want to break the rules. Of course, what Chu Huan didn't like was making Magic Johnson feel proud.

At this time, Chu Huan has already seen that the current Magic Johnson has the common faults of black young people, and he is very proud of himself. What Chu Huan wants is an obedient team, so Jerry West was so arrogant to him before. , Chu Huan didn't allow it, and directly destroyed Jerry West's prestige, and now Magic Johnson is doing the same.

   "The annual salary of 500,000 is the highest!"

  Jerry West was surprised to see that Chu Huan did not meet Magic Johnson's request. After all, Chu Huan just showed that he admired Magic Johnson very much!

   "Sir, in my opinion, basketball is my job, and I'm worth 600,000!"

  Magic Johnson took a bite of his own burger and delivered some tough sermons.

  Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "Wrong, I gave you this job, and you have this job. If I don't give you this job, then you won't have this job!"

  Magic Johnson got up and said: "Then there is nothing to say, I can choose to go to other teams, and I can also choose to go back to school and retake a year of college!"

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "If this is the case, I can assure you that no team other than the Lakers will sign you this year, and you will not be able to go back to school to continue studying!"

Magic Johnson froze for a moment, with anger in his doubts, "You are threatening me, don't forget that I just led Michigan State University to the NCAA championship this year, how could there be any team that would not want me! "

   "Hey hey." At this time, Johnson also got up, stopped his son, and then looked at Chu Huan who was sitting there and asked, "Sir, can you be more specific?"

  Chu Huan pointed to the phone on the restaurant bar, and said to Johnson: "At this time, you can call home to see the situation at home, maybe you will know why I can say that!"

The father and son Johnson and Magic Johnson looked at each other. One of them is from the bottom of North America, and the other is a kid who has not graduated from university. To put it bluntly, they are two people with little knowledge, and their only support is In fact, it is the skill of Magic Johnson.

  But now Chu Huan's attitude has exceeded their cognition, so at this time Johnson can only walk to the bar curiously, and dial the phone at home.

  Then Johnson, who was holding the phone, suddenly changed his face.

  After putting down the phone, he didn't care about the magician Johnson who came up to ask him what happened. Instead, he came to Chu Huan, but was stopped by Han Yang who had been guarding Chu Huan.

   "Sir, you can't do this? Please, please!"

  Magic Johnson came to his father and asked in confusion, "Daddy, what happened?"

   Even Jerry West, who was sitting at the dining table, was watching the scene curiously, and he didn't know what happened.

Johnson then said to Magic Johnson: "Just now a group of FBI broke into our house and found some flour in your room. Now they are preparing to take your mother away, and when we return, they will also Take us away immediately!"

  Magic Johnson was stunned, Jerry West was stunned, they were all staring at Chu Huan blankly.

Magic Johnson knew that he would never touch those things, Jerry West also understood that this happened too coincidentally, and it was impossible for Chu Huan to know so clearly, so there is only one possibility, and that is this This matter was arranged by Chu Huan.

   But does Chu Huan have such a big influence in North America?

  Even the FBI people listen to him?

Chu Huan said with a smile: "An annual salary of 500,000 US dollars, and I can give you a 200,000 annual salary as a Nike advertisement endorsement, so that your income can exceed Bird Bird, but you have to play well for me, otherwise Otherwise, what awaits you is a prison sentence, and your parents will also lose their current jobs!"

Magic Johnson just asked Chu Huan for an annual salary of 600,000 U.S. dollars. In fact, he wanted to get the same annual salary as Bird Bird. The team led by Bird Bird, so my annual salary cannot be less than Bird Bird!

  In fact, Chu Huan can use more gentle methods to solve this matter, such as using the policy of Huairou, but this year Chu Huan does not have so much time to Huairou Magic Johnson, he still has a lot to do.

Magic Johnson stood there blankly. This was the first time he felt the reality of the world. Before that, as a basketball star at Michigan State University, he received applause and flowers wherever he went, but now Chu Huan His behavior made him understand one thing, that he was just an ordinary person.

  One sentence from the upper class can actually determine your own life and death!

Under such circumstances, Magic Johnson has no other choice. Although the way of agreeing is a bit aggrieved, it is better than going to jail by himself. What makes Magic Johnson a little bit happy is that he also has an extra pair of sneakers endorsement contract!

   "I know sir!"

  Seeing that Magician Johnson had given in, Chu Huan nodded to Feng Jing. Feng Jing walked to the phone at the bar, made another call, said a few words, and came back.

  Chu Huan said to Johnson: "You can call home again, I believe those people have already left!"

  Johnson looked at Chu Huan in horror. Is this the real big shot?

   After a while, Johnson, who came back from the bar, nodded to Magic Johnson, indicating that those people had left.

  Magic Johnson just collapsed and sat on the chair.

  Jerry West sat there and stared blankly at Chu Huan. Only now did he realize how impulsive his actions were just now.

   "Okay, now the matter has been settled, let's eat, the burgers here should be pretty good!" Chu Huan said with a smile.

  Jerry West, Magic Johnson, and Johnson sat there. In fact, they were not in the mood to eat, but seeing Chu Huan's smile, the three of them unanimously attacked the food in front of them.

  Chu Huan sat there smiling, they are all cheap!

   At this moment, laughter suddenly came from the restaurant.

   Everyone followed the prestige, and Chu Huan saw that it was Li Xiaolong and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar walking over. Although Li Xiaolong was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's master, Li Xiaolong looked a little short until Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's abdomen.

   "A Huan, I didn't know you came to Los Angeles until I heard Kareem Abdul-Jabbar today. Why didn't you call me?"

  Li Xiaolong preached happily.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "I was about to call you when I finished dealing with the matter here. I didn't expect you to come here first!"

  Jabbar smiled and greeted Chu Huan: "Sir!"

By the way, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is now a contracted actor of Vertex Pictures, but he only plays some small roles and is not well-known, but who made Kareem Abdul-Jabbar like acting, just like O'Neill later !

   After the two sat down, Li Xiaolong asked Chu Huan how long he would stay in North America this time, while Kareem Abdul-Jabbar first greeted Jerry West with a smile, and then spoke to Magic Johnson.

   "I know you. We played very well in the NCAA finals this year. It seems that we will become teammates in the future!" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said with a smile.

  Magic Johnson has not yet reacted to the panic just now, nor is he as lively as before. He forced a smile and greeted Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar didn't think too much about it, but thought that Magic Johnson couldn't let go in such a situation, so he continued with a smile: "Don't be nervous, Director Chu is a very good person, if he hadn't contacted Vertex Pictures, I would have There is no way to become an actor, if you play well in the Lakers, Director Chu will definitely take good care of you!"

   "Hehe!" Magic Johnson responded with a dry smile to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. If you had come earlier, you would definitely not have said such a thing.

   "Do you have anything to do tonight?" Li Xiaolong asked Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan shook his head and said, "No, I thought it would take some time to sign the Magician, but the two of us chatted very happily. He has already agreed to join the Lakers, so I have nothing to do!"

  Magic Johnson: "."

  Li Xiaolong immediately said happily: "Great, there is a party in my villa tonight, you should come to it too, you will definitely like it very much!"

  Chu Huan came here for vacation, and said with a smile, "No problem!"

  Jabbar also extended an invitation to Magic Johnson, and said with a smile: "Johnson, you come too, I will let you see life in Hollywood!"

  Magic Johnson didn't want to agree at first, mainly because Chu Huan felt like a devil to him at this time, and he didn't want to have too much contact with Chu Huan.

  Chu Huan smiled and said: "Since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has already invited you, let's come together, but in this kind of life, after you officially join the Lakers, you still need to exercise some restraint!"

   Magician Johnson, who dared not disobey Chu Huan, could only nod.

   Kareem Abdul-Jabbar happily said to Chu Huan: "Sir, it seems that your charisma has conquered Johnson. I heard that Johnson is a very proud person."

   I was not conquered by his charisma, but by his power!

  Magic Johnson thought helplessly.

.

  That night, Chu Huan came to Li Xiaolong's villa. At this time, Li Xiaolong seemed to have become a first-line star in Hollywood, and he had already obtained the status he wanted when he came to Hollywood.

  So the people who came to the party at Li Xiaolong's villa at this time were not the first-line Hollywood stars at this time, but directors and producers. In addition, because of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, many NBA Lakers stars also came.

  Chu Huan saw that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was chatting with the Lakers stars with Magic Johnson, but it was obvious that they were not very happy.

Chu Huan didn't care about this. NBA stars have always been like this. They go to college just to jump into the NBA. Few of them will finish their college honestly like Duncan. So it is almost impossible for them to understand the rules.

  Especially in the current NBA, the whole environment is full of violence, alcohol, women, and flour.

  Let them make trouble by themselves, anyway, I have no time to watch them play these few years.

Chu Huan is not well-known in Los Angeles, and few celebrities recognize Chu Huan's appearance, so when Chu Huan just came to Li Xiaolong's villa, no one at the party took the initiative to greet Chu Huan. He didn't care about it either, and there was no such thing as being deliberately provocative and then being slapped in the face by Chu Huan.

  But soon there were people around Chu Huan, not the stars, but the executives of the film company. Hollywood movie stars didn't know Chu Huan, but it didn't mean that these executives didn't know Chu Huan.

  After they found Chu Huan in the crowd, they immediately came over and took the initiative to chat with Chu Huan. The purpose was naturally for the filming of their own film company!

   "Who is that Asian? Why are you surrounded by high-level executives from various film companies?" After seeing such a situation, someone curiously asked the people around him.

  But the people around her obviously didn't know Chu Huan, otherwise this time would have passed by already.

At this time, the black and white theater chain has the largest theater chain in the world, and Chu Huan has a complicated relationship with Kelly, the president of Hollywood's Vertex Pictures. Useful to stand here.

   But it doesn't matter, soon after the high-level people left, everyone knew Chu Huan's identity, so Chu Huan gradually became the focus of the whole party.

For those male stars who took the initiative to come forward, Chu Huan usually smiled and chatted, and then separated. If Chu Huan wants to play tricks tonight, he probably won't have enough time in one night!

"Hello!"

   While Chu Huan was circling around these female stars in Hollywood, a boldly dressed girl stood in front of Chu Huan, holding champagne in her hand, with a somewhat youthful smile on her face.

   It looks familiar, but I can't remember who this girl is for a while!

   "Hello!" Chu Huan said with a smile, "Who are you?"

   "Jenny Buss, my friends call me Jenny!" Jenny Buss said with a smile.

  Chu Huan knows who this is, isn't it the daughter of Old Buss, the one who will take away the management rights of the Lakers from his brother in the future?

   This is also a very romantic female boss, but the other party is indeed a romantic capital, and her figure and appearance are above the standard line of excellence.

   "So it's Dr. Bath's daughter, I said why haven't I seen you on the big screen!" Chu Huan said with a smile.

   "Do you know my father?" Jenny Buss asked Chu Huan curiously.

  Of course he knew it. If he hadn't made the move ahead of time, Old Buss should have been negotiating with Jack Cook about buying the Lakers at this time!

   "I heard some people say that the Chrysler Building purchased by your father is a very successful business!"

Before acquiring the Lakers, Old Buss was in the real estate business in Los Angeles, and what made him most proud was the acquisition of the Chrysler Building. The Chrysler Building was given to Jack Cook at a discount!

   "My father always tells me the same way. It seems that you and my father should have a common language!" Jenny Buss said happily.

   "So, you are here to be a pioneer for your father?" Chu Huan asked with a smile.

   "Couldn't it be that I realized that you are the best man in the crowd and came here on my own initiative?" Jenny Buss asked proudly.

   "Of course, if this is the case, I will be even happier, then we won't have to see your father tonight!" Chu Huan said with a smile.

Jenny Buss's expression froze. She really came to stand up for her father. Tonight, she and old Buss came to Li Xiaolong's party. As for how they met Li Xiaolong, that's really only God knows. .

Soon, Old Bus noticed Chu Huan, and then learned of Chu Huan's identity from other people. This made Old Bus want to get to know Chu Huan immediately, but although Old Bus was a playboy, he was also A very observant person, after Chu Huan's performance at the party just now, Old Bass noticed that Chu Huan was not in the mood to discuss business on an occasion like today.

   Then seeing the female stars around Chu Huan, she immediately asked her daughter to come over and chat with Chu Huan.

  But Jenny Buss is still too tender, and Chu Huan entangled her in a few words!

   "Haha, Chairman Chu is really funny, I hope you don't make our acquaintance unhappy because of this way!"

  Old Buss, who had been paying attention to the situation here, walked over with a big smile.

  Chu Huan smiled and shook hands with him, "Dr. Bath!"

   "Director Chu!" Old Bass also stretched out his hand.

   "What's the matter?" Chu Huan asked Old Bass.

  Old Bass said: "I know that Director Chu went to the Lakers today, but what does Director Chu think about the current Lakers?"

Old Buss, like Ballmer, the owner of the Clippers, is a crazy basketball fan. Later generations only know that Old Buss bought the Lakers for $67 million, but they don't know it at all. Bass's entire net worth was lost, and even some money was borrowed from his ex-wife.

  This is why in later generations, the Bass family is not ranked among the richest owners in the NBA.

Now Old Buss still wants to buy the Lakers, so he appeared at this party tonight, not because someone tipped him off, but because Old Buss had investigated Chu Huan and knew about the relationship between Chu Huan and Li Xiaolong , so tonight when Li Xiaolong held a party, Old Bass tried his best to get in.

"It's like this. Personally, I really hope to own a team. I'm thinking that if President Chu has any dissatisfaction with the current Lakers, he can sell this team to me, and I will definitely give it to Chu. Dong a satisfactory price!"

Jenny Bass looked at her father and Chu Huan curiously. She didn't know much about Chu Huan, which made her not quite understand why Chu Huan would have such an easy way to own a pair that her father had always loved but couldn't get. NBA team!

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Dr. Bass, do you know how much money we have invested in the financial center we are building in New York?"

  Old Bass understood what Chu Huan meant, and he was not qualified to buy the Lakers from Chu Huan at all because of his ability!

   "Excuse me, I have something else to do!"

   After finishing speaking, Chu Huan turned around and was about to leave, but at this time Jenny Bass took Chu Huan's arm and said with a smile: "I think you should need a female companion tonight!"

  Chu Huan looked at Old Bath, who didn't seem to care much about it.

  Chu Huan laughed and said, "I really need a female companion!"

   Also, correct the typo first and then change it, Huangshan continues to code~~
