Nine Hundred and Thirty-Four: [The Bass Family Was Tricked]
The Dukes and Princesses had been in peace for almost three months, and finally made some waves recently.
In fact, this incident was not exposed by them on their own initiative.
Now they are very peae-lve to each other, even though there are still two Emma, Jenna and two Asian actresses scattered among the people who have not joined the foundation.
But it is impossible for the media to see a war of words between them. After all, they are all on the same journey.
Moreover, he is also afraid of the Duke's whipping skills!
What happened this time was exposed by the former manager of the foundation. The fired manager made an aggressive revelation: "Now there is a group of female celebrities who are doing everything they can to get close to Snoopy. They even spent money to acquire her. 20% of the Lakers’ equity, and this is why Snoop finally chose to join Los Angeles!”
When this blockbuster news was exposed, it immediately triggered a double explosion in the sports and entertainment circles!
Everyone in the entertainment industry wants to know who are the female celebrities who bought the Lakers? The basketball circle wants to find out whether this transaction is a behind-the-scenes operation. After all, it is related to the transfer of the league's number one player. To be more serious, this transaction affects the eastern and western structure of the NBA league.
"There is actually a Duke and Duchess Foundation? And it also acquired 20% of the shares of the Lakers??"
This was the first time Snoopy knew about this. When he saw the news, his whole mind was in garbled format.
He looked at Kobe Bryant.
Kobe Bryant looked normal: "What? Don't you know?"
This is something that everyone at the core level of the Lakers club knows. Everyone knows that before the transaction took place, a manager who called himself the Duke Lady Fund walked into the office and asked to acquire equity.
Then Snoopy and Chicago both agreed to the deal, which was a very good-faith deal.
Soon after, Snoopy arrived in Los Angeles. Now the Lakers' market value has risen by 50%, and it is still rising rapidly. Doubling it after winning the championship is definitely not a problem. And judging from the current broadcast ratings, it is expected to increase several times in the next ten years!
In any case, both the foundation and the Bass family have made money.
No one suffered a loss in this transaction, which is why everything was so calm.
However, some sports media feel that this violates the principle of fair competition and consider it a black box operation. Especially the Chicago Bulls, although they are still first in the Eastern Conference. However, the recent home defeat made them realize that Snoopy is irreplaceable. They now want the league to quickly investigate and arbitrate, declare the transaction invalid, and Snoopy returns to Chicago.
Of course, such a penalty is impossible. It is impossible for the NBA to change the established facts. The most it can do is fine the club.
In fact, the NBA didn't even want to fine him.
Because, essentially, Snoopy has no real connection to any of the duchess. Their purchase of equity is completely reasonable and legal. At that time, it was also the NBA that passed this equity review.
Now that it is exposed like this, David Stern will definitely not have any response.
However, the entertainment industry is eager to know which duchess are involved in this acquisition.
"This is a very normal business. We did form a foundation, and each invested according to their own income." Anne Hathaway was the first to stand up and respond. As the eldest sister, she is very Frankly: "We just want to make some money with Snoopy!"
"It's nothing to say. I'm one of them, along with... Miley, Selena, Taylor, Emma, Heard, Jennifer, Carly. The whole world knows we're internationally known for Snoop, and more We know we’re making a lot of money because of him, so why can’t we extend our reach into the sports world? It turns out we’ve doubled our investment.”
Scarlett Johansson also has a big sisterly air.
In fact, they are the dual cores of this combination: a small forward and a point guard!
"I can guarantee...Snoopy had no idea this was happening. This was all based on our predictions: I think at that point the whole world knew where Snoopy was going to be? Kobe Bryant pursued him for so many years, When he was leaving Chicago, do you think he was embarrassed not to go to the Lakers?" Taylor Swift analyzed seriously: "We just used our rumored relationship with Snoop to negotiate with the Lakers. They made a misjudgment and gave us equity at a very low price!”
Swift's words made the Bass family feel distressed. Old Bass couldn't help but tremble on the hospital bed: Am I capsized in the gutter?
Jenny Buss even ran to her brother Jimmy Buss' office angrily, hoping he would give an explanation.
Jimmy Buss was very calm: "So what if we were deceived? Snoopy came to the Lakers, and our market value doubled!"
"But we could have earned more!!" Jenny, who was gradually marginalized, was confident.
But Bass shrugged his shoulders: "Do you really think what those dukes said is true? Do you really think Snoopy doesn't know about this? Don't be naive, Jenny!"
…
"I really don't know about this!" Snoopy showed off to Kobe: "But now, I suddenly feel happy for them. They do have a good investment vision."
Black Mamba's eyes widened instantly when he got this answer.
If the shoulder hadn't been fixed, he would have even shaken his arms violently and yelled "TF!"
"You'd better not let the Bass family know about this, otherwise they will go crazy."
Kobe Bryant gasped.
However, the Bass family is actually going crazy.
Because of Snoop's prospective fiancée, Ms. Daphne has made a request to the Buss family: "I have no current relationship with Snoop, including business dealings. I have the right to have any equity transactions with the Lakers Club. So, you Are you ready to sell me 10% of the shares at the same price? I’m not greedy at all!”
Forehead……!
When this request was submitted to the club's top brass. Old Bass no longer had to hold himself up in the hospital bed. He had to convene a shareholders' meeting to discuss the matter.
The current situation is...the Lakers have just been bitten by the wolves, and the tigers have gone down the mountain again.
"Why does Snoop have so many rumored girlfriends??!!!"
Kupchak asked from the bottom of his soul: "Now I finally feel the terrifying threat of women."
Jim Bass also looked depressed.
But fortunately, ginger is still spicy. Old Bass quickly held a shareholders' meeting. He hoped that everyone would allocate a portion of their shares in proportion and give Daphne 10%.
Although this proposal hurt everyone, they had no choice but to accept it.
It's unclear whether the Duke's Foundation can influence Snoopy's whereabouts, but Daphne definitely has the ability.
Therefore, including Magic Johnson, they all made a choice.
Ten percent was collected within three days.
When David Stern saw the application for the equity transaction, he couldn't help but sigh: The Duke's women are all tigers. One by one, they pounced on each other, and together they almost became the largest shareholder of the Lakers. well!
Sighs are sighs.
But finally the document was put down.
He had no reason to reject the equity deal. Although there were visible fishiness in such a transaction, he still knew that it was a special matter.
At this point, Adam Silver, who is about to take over as NBA president, actually has different ideas. He feels that as the NBA president, he should be in charge of everything in the NBA instead of compromising a certain player and the forces behind him.
In response, David Stern just patted him on the shoulder and told him: "When you actually sit in this position, you will understand why I did this. When a star's influence is far greater than the team, even When it is larger than the league, the policy must be tilted towards him. Just like Michael Jordan, he could get an annual salary of 30 million US dollars and still receive salary from Chicago even when he retired."
"Do you think Snoopy can now be compared with Michael back then?" Adam Silver was very puzzled.
David Stern is very sure: "In terms of commercial influence, he has surpassed Michael. You can observe his sneaker sales, record sales, movie box office, and his supreme status in the hearts of Asians. ”
Adam Silver nodded thoughtfully. Although he still doesn't understand it very well, he is right to listen to Stern. After all, he single-handedly pulled the NBA from a third-rate league to the most profitable business league in the United States.
…
After Snoopy returned to his palace from the Black Mamba's house, Daphne had actually finalized the equity transfer contract.
"You actually told Hathaway and the others about this way of making money without telling me in advance??" Daphne said very depressed.
Although she complained a little, it was not difficult to tell from her tone that she had no hostility towards Hathaway and the others now.
Because she believed that these people must have nothing to do with Snoopy. At most, they were taking advantage of the situation to raise their status to make some money and gain some popularity. Moreover, most of the duchess are now signed to her company.
The most important thing is that, including Hathaway, they have been persuading her to marry Snoop as soon as possible, and even volunteered to be a bridesmaid!
When such a sound appeared in her ears, she would not doubt anything else.
She is a woman, and she understands better than anyone how selfish and possessive women can be. How could these super female stars like Snoopy and at the same time persuade other women to marry him, and even serve as bridesmaids?
This is ridiculous.
Daphne felt that her previous jealousy was inexplicable.
"Actually, I really don't know anything!" The Duke raised his hands and confessed.
"It seems that they have good business acumen. They are worthy of being a top-notch female star in Hollywood. However, the Bass family was tricked by us this time... Hehe!"
Daphne muttered to herself and secretly said, "When you were in Chicago, you were creating benefits for your boss. Now, you are creating benefits for us."
At this time, Daphne suddenly raised her head: "How about we kiss and celebrate?"
ah? ?
The Duke was stunned.
What kind of conditioned reflex is this?
At this moment, Daphne had already raised her head and took the initiative to greet her. Doug thought for a while, and subconsciously closed his eyes, waiting for her arrival.
However, at this moment, there was a cough from outside the door... cough cough!
The two of them looked back in panic and saw their prospective father-in-law walking towards them.
well!
Isn’t this just making trouble! !
Both of them were complaining! Especially Snoopy, who is about to face the Indiana Pacers, the dark horse team of this season, at home, and I am worried about how to deal with them.
I usually hear you making unfounded worries in the media, but now the couple is about to make a substantial breakthrough, you cough! !

Please give me two monthly passes, that would be great! !
