Chapter 353 Adam Silver's Business Experience

"Mr. Xiao Hua, I'm Jason Yang."

Lying in bed, Yang Cheng got the phone number of current NBA commissioner Adam Silver from Knicks owner James Dolan.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Yang, I'm glad to receive your call." Adam Silver's voice sounded quite young.

Yang Cheng smiled and said politely, "I'm sorry, I got your contact information through James Dolan, and I called you without prior notice. I hope you can forgive my recklessness."

In order to open up the country Z market, Adam Xiaohua has learned a lot about the culture of country Z. He is not as impatient with the unique oriental euphemisms as other Americans, "Mr. Yang is too polite. Anyway, we will get to know each other sooner or later. It doesn't matter, am I right, Mr. Yang."

Listening to Adam Silver's meaningful words, Yang Cheng expressed that he was in a good mood, at least Xiao Hua's attitude was clearly revealed, and he very much welcomes Yang Cheng to enter the NBA.

"Haha, of course, I don't know what the league thinks about the change of shareholders of the Brooklyn Nets? You must know that I am very eager to join the NBA family." Yang Cheng let go of her doubts and went straight to the core of the problem.

Adam Silver smiled lightly, "From the era of David Stern, the NBA has been a highly market-oriented and commercialized league. It only plays a role in monitoring and balancing all changes in the market, and warmly welcomes everyone A sincere friend is here."

Yang Cheng immediately understood, "Then the Brooklyn Nets will submit the formalities for the equity change as soon as possible. I hope the efficiency of the league will make my eyes shine."

"Of course, this is our job. It is the purpose of the alliance to provide the best and most complete service for each club." Adam Silver is still speaking official language, but in fact he has already expressed his attitude very clearly.

"I remember that the league's player trade deadline is a week after the All-Star Game, right? Time is tight. If the Brooklyn Nets want to make a few big deals, will the league give some preferential treatment?" Yang Cheng said I want to ask, if a few superstars are traded, will the league intervene.

After all, when the Lakers wanted to trade for Chris Paul, they were disturbed by the league. They didn't want to see the league's first point guard and the first point guard in the golden age join forces. This would cause another dynasty to rise. In fact, the dynasty The team is unfavorable to the league, which means that the league lacks competitiveness. Without competitiveness, there will be no viewing at all, and without viewing, there will be no ratings. Without ratings, there will be no advertising fees. The league will be disbanded Not far behind, this is a series of vicious reactions.

Sure enough, on this issue, Adam Xiao Hua hesitated for the first time, and remained silent for a moment. However, the result was not beyond Yang Cheng's expectations. After all, Adam Xiao Hua, Yang Cheng, had already seen through it. The guy in Qian's eyes just replied tactfully, "The normal trading league is supportive. After all, Brooklyn is in New York. If they can trade big-name players, it will help stimulate the ball market, but we must pay attention to the attitude of other teams. The small ball club lacks financial strength, if it is done too hard, it will easily arouse the rebellious psychology of the small ball club, and the loss outweighs the gain.”

Yang Cheng understands what Xiao Hua means, which is to allow you to play big trades, but this speed must be grasped carefully, and other teams cannot complain. Of course, if you have the ability to get James, Curry, and Durant together, it is not enough The league doesn't bother to let other teams resist. This is a good deal to give them money. Who is the luxury tax for? Isn't it handed over to the alliance?

Next, Yang Cheng confirmed a few more questions with Adam Xiaohua, and then hung up the phone. Generally speaking, the effect of this call still satisfied him, and the remaining questions were Mikhail's side. He didn't want to accept Yang Cheng's offer happily.

As for the funding for the acquisition, Yang Cheng could only ask Citigroup for a guarantee first. Four-Dimensional Space would definitely not be able to afford so much money now. Waiting for Allen to earn back the expected 5 billion US dollars from the stock market, this debt is not a problem at all.

Holding Georgina in his arms, his big hands wandered on the smooth skin, and then dialed the phone to Konrad Koch. He is now in New York, and it would be perfect for him to come forward to talk to Mikhail.

As for him, he still has to stay in DC for a few days, at least until Richard Durbin agrees to a secret deal before he can leave with confidence.

Accompanied by Sky Sports' passionate commentary, Yang Cheng and Georgina had another set of sprints. The sweaty two went into the bathroom to wash off the ambiguous smell, and prepared to change clothes and go out for dinner.

Yang Cheng had just put on his trousers, but before he could put on his shirt, the phone rang, seeing that it was his father's call, how dare he neglect it, sandwiched between his neck and shoulders, and answered, "What's the matter, Dad?"

"Are you still in DC?" Yang Sen's voice came along with the sound of horses' hooves. He was probably riding a horse in the ranch. Yang Cheng was very envious of his leisurely life.

But Dad must have something to do with asking this question. He put on his shirt neatly, took off his phone, turned on the hands-free and threw it on the bed. He tied his cuffs and asked, "Yeah, you haven't left yet, what's wrong?"

"That's just right, the embassy of country Z in the United States invited us to participate in a New Year's Eve event, but your mother and I had already agreed to the banquet in New York that day. There was a time conflict. If you are not in a hurry to come back, just Attend on behalf of our family."

Yang Cheng thought about it, there are still 3 or 4 days before the New Year's Eve, and there are no entertainment activities in DC, so he must die of depression, and said a little embarrassed, "Do I have to attend? Why didn't you come to us for this kind of event before?"

"It used to be before, and now is now. Before you rose up, our family was at best a Chinese family with a little money in the United States. What is worth paying attention to, but your grandfather and your grandfather are invited every New Year. They are old and don't like to walk around at will." Yang Sen's words gave Yang Cheng a realistic blow, but can you criticize his power? Obviously not.

"That line, after all, is our motherland. I'll just go there. I hope we don't have any problems then." Yang Cheng said worriedly.

Yang Sen was quite relaxed, "No, country Z has always held a tolerant attitude towards us overseas Chinese, and will not cause trouble for us easily. If there is something important to come to the door, the choice is also on us. Besides, now More and more companies from country Z are entering the United States, and the embassy is trying its best to unite us before it's too late, how can we find trouble when we are free."

With such an explanation, Yang Cheng doesn't have so much burden on his mind, he just takes it as an ordinary social event, and his investment in the country is not small, so he just took this opportunity to chat with the ambassador, if he can find a better It would be nice to have some preferential treatment by the way.
