Chapter 454

Prokhorov’s sincere speech drew a successful conclusion to his work in the Nets. With his eagerly awaited blessings, the representatives of the fans specially invited by the team gave bursts of applause. The reporter No matter how reluctant they were, they had to stop what they were doing and clap their hands cooperatively, but there was a reward for clapping their hands. They raised their hands high, trying to ask Prokhorov a question.

Seeing this, the team's official spokesperson quickly comforted him, "Reporters, please be calm, we will set aside a special time for questions later. Now, let's invite the team's new owner, Mr. Yang, chairman of New Era Media, to speak. .”

There was another round of applause at the scene. Compared with Prokhorov, although Yang Cheng is also a minority in the United States, he is still quite popular in New York. The fans are also happy to see his arrival.

"Good morning, friends from the press, and representatives of the fans. I didn't expect to see you again so soon." Yang Cheng, who has unique experience in dealing with the media, spoke calmly.

"As a loyal sports fan and a child of New York, it is a great honor for me to join the Nets management and NBA family. I was born in New York and lived in New York all the year round. This city is not only my hometown, but also It has always held a special place in my heart. This time I have the opportunity to join hands with Conrad to acquire the Nets, which is a fulfillment of my childhood dream.

Before the acquisition, I had a chat with Prokhorov, team CEO Brett Jomark, general manager Sean Marcos and the coach. During the chat, I learned that we share common ideals and goals, and I look forward to being part of this team. Part of a great team.

This is a wonderful and pleasant acquisition. I have completed an excellent investment and at the same time received many like-minded partners. This is my luck.

Here, I would also like to thank Mr. Adam Silver for his help and efforts in this acquisition. Basketball is a global sport, and the NBA is one of the most recognized brands in the world. Regarding the development prospects of the NBA, I am very excited, and I hope to be able to work with my friends to introduce the NBA and the Nets to fans all over the world, thank you! "

Adam Silver looked at Yang Cheng from behind quite unexpectedly. He didn't expect this young man to be so eloquent. As soon as he came up, he placed the alliance in a high position, and expressed his willingness to cooperate with the alliance in depth. It seems that the previous work It's not in vain.

Yang Cheng didn't know what Adam Xiao Hua thought, he was quite satisfied with his rather forceful speech, leaning on the back of his chair and smiling confidently at the countless cameras below.

Afterwards, Adam Silver welcomed Yang Cheng on behalf of the entire league, and expressed his expectation for the newly launched Nets. Today's protagonist is not him. time for media questions.

"I would like to ask Mr. Yang, this time you and Mr. Conrad Koch jointly acquired the Nets. What is the investment ratio and equity allocation? Can you tell me? I think the fans must be very interested in knowing."

This press conference did not arrange our own reporters, but everyone is a veteran in this field. The first question should not be too embarrassing. It is a slightly sharp and non-targeted question. Atmosphere, a good atmosphere can make the protagonists being interviewed feel in a good mood and willing to answer more questions, so that the reporters can go back to work. This is all due to causality.

Yang Cheng approached the microphone and had already made eye contact with Konrad Koch and Prokhorov. They indicated that Yang Cheng could speak freely without keeping it secret.

"No problem, it's not a secret. This time our team valued the Nets at $2.2 billion, including the ownership of the Barclays Center and its surrounding land, which was included in the transaction. My four-dimensional space company invested 12 billion dollars. Conrad contributed 1 billion US dollars in his own name. As for equity distribution, because I am responsible for daily management and operations, I occupy 55% of the shares and the corresponding equity.

Conrad accounts for 45%. In the future, we will each use a part of the stock to motivate the management and those who have made significant contributions to the team. "

As soon as Yang Cheng finished speaking, there was an uproar in the press room. They were all reporters in charge of sports and the NBA. They had a clear understanding of this figure. Last summer, Ballmer bought the Los Angeles Clippers at a cost of US$2 billion, and it took only half a year. , The Nets set a new NBA team transaction record.

"Mr. Prokhorov, why did you suddenly choose to sell the Nets? Is there a problem with your funds?" Another reporter ignored the etiquette and asked without a microphone.

Prokhorov smiled, and approached the microphone to answer, "I don't deny that my capital chain is a little tight, but it won't be necessary to sell the team to ease the withering of the capital pool. I have known Jason and Conrad for many years, everyone They are all friends. I have known him for many years. He is very passionate about sports. Last year he bought a Premier League club. I have been paying attention to him. He has done a good job in the UK. Doing better at my own doorstep, and I can use this opportunity to relieve financial pressure, kill two birds with one stone, why should I refuse?"

"Mr. Yang, why don't you buy an NFL team like the New York Giants or New York Jets? Don't you like football?" The reporter just set a bad example, and another reporter rushed to stand up and asked loudly .

Yang Cheng glanced at the team's official spokesperson with some dissatisfaction. Wouldn't this kind of unruly reporter make a sound to stop it? But now is not the time to lose your temper. He stared sharply at the reporter who asked the question, and sarcastically said in a relaxed and humorous tone, "It seems that you went to the wrong venue. This is the NBA press conference, but since you asked Let me just answer, why not buy the New York Giants or the Jets? You shouldn’t ask me this question, you should ask the owners of the two teams, why don’t the Mara family or the Johnson family sell the team!”

"Haha~" Everyone heard the sarcasm in Yang Cheng's words, and mercilessly laughed at their peers. Sure enough, the hatred between peers is Chi Guoguo!

Conrad Koch is famous for his willingness to scold reporters, so he would not let go of the opportunity and chimed in, "My friend, if you don't know them, I can help introduce them. I have a good relationship with John Mara. I'll have a drink another day." Sometimes I asked him, why did he hold on to the New York Giants! Are you worthy of the fans?"

The scene suddenly turned into a sea of ​​laughter, and the two billionaires went off to confront the reporters in person. This scene was much more interesting than the press conference! ()
