The next day, New York City forest group, Arthur and his men, according to the appointment time, visited the New Jersey basketball nets current owner La brusque Turner.


    He was very enthusiastic about Arthur, the young earl of England. Of course, he already knew the purpose of Arthur''s coming.


    After a courteous exchange of greetings, Arthur did not try to beat around the Bush, but directly put forward his intention to buy new jersey nets.


    However, for Arthur''s purchase intention, La Bros didn''t feel happy because there was a buyer. On the contrary, he raised his brow and took a few sips of coffee, then said apologetically.


    "I''m sorry, Mr. bollin, about the basketball team deal, at the end of last year, I reached a verbal agreement with bear''s billionaire, Mr. Mikhail Prokhorov, who will be the team''s first choice


    Hearing this answer, Arthur did not show too surprised, but looked at the other side with a smile, continued: "I have learned about this, but according to NBA regulations, whether a team can be successfully acquired depends on the owners of other teams in the league.


    And the background of this Mr. Mikhail Prokhorov seems too complicated. I think it will be a very troublesome thing, isn''t it? "


    " ha ha... " "Actually, it''s not as difficult as you think. After all, NBA is a commercial sports league. To put it bluntly, it''s just business."


    "20 million!" Arthur narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth, held out two fingers, and said to labrose, "on the basis of 200 million, I will add another 20 million dollars. Please believe me, I have full sincerity."


    Rubus frowned slightly, lowered his head, touched his chin, and then looked at Arthur with a smile from time to time and began to ponder.


    And Arthur is not in a hurry to urge each other, for the net boss''s greed, he has investigated, the reason why the nets degenerate is because Ratner is too stingy.


    "Sorry, although this makes me very moved, but I can only say sorry to you, this is not just a matter of money, rocolov promised me, the nets will win the championship, I believe the nets will go back to the finals.


    All we''ve done is to give the team more money to back it up. In this way we can get the best players and we can share more happiness. The most important thing is the development of the team, and I don''t care if I have the biggest stake. I hope the team will develop better in the future. I love the nets. "


    When he heard this, Arthur couldn''t help tearing his mouth. He almost died with a mouthful of coffee. What he said was exactly the same. However, Arthur was not angry or discouraged. Instead, he turned his eyes to the faces of his subordinates who had been following him all the time. He remembered what his subordinates had said on the bus that came to meet him.


    “。。。 Boss, Ratner. He made his fortune by real estate. In 2004, the New Jersey Nets team was transferred to Ratner. After purchasing the nets, he announced that he would move the nets home to Brooklyn, New York City. However, the relocation of the nets to Brooklyn is only a part of Ratner''s "Atlantic courtyard project", which is expected to be completed around 2010. After that, Ratner plans to build a high-end apartment, office building, luxury hotel and other supporting facilities. This will be the largest construction project in the history of Brooklyn, New York, with a total cost of $4 billion.


    However, due to the impact of the U.S. economic crisis and lack of funds, his "world''s most expensive Stadium" project had to be postponed. Another point is that Bruce Ratner''s Forest City Group paid $300 million for the basketball team in 2004, but in the last five years, the team''s pre tax loss was as high as $380 million.


    At the same time, although the plan to move Brooklyn has been supported by New York Mayor Michael Blumberg, the strong opposition of local people and the huge funds involved have repeatedly delayed the relocation plan. Opponents have even taken the forest city group to court. To sum up, it is very difficult for Ratner to complete the "Atlantic courtyard project" by himself, so he thought of finding a partner to complete his "Atlantic yard project". Selling the tennis team is not the main purpose, but the main purpose is to complete the "Atlantic yard project". I think that''s what Ratner should think...


    "Ha ha, Mr. Ratner, don''t be in a hurry to refuse. To tell you the truth, I''m also interested in the Atlantic courtyard project led by you. If I can, I''d like to join the plan. Of course, the basketball team can serve as the basis for our cooperation. To be honest, I attach great importance to the development of real estate around the new stadium." Arthur smiles and looks brightly at Ratner, who thought he was saying that.


    "Really? That''s amazing news Ratner, with a happy smile on his face, swept away his alienation and began to chatter about his Atlantic yard project.


    When an hour later, Arthur left the city forest group with a warm smile from Ratner. After getting into the car, he said with a smile to his subordinate named Ron: "Ron, just as you analyzed, sure enough, he paid more attention to the Atlantic courtyard project.""Ha ha, he also has no way. Once the big plan with a cost of 4 billion yuan is completed, his losses will undoubtedly be huge, and he can''t bear it at all. To a large extent, the selling price of the net is a friendship price. The key point is to find partners who can invest in his real estate projects.


    However, boss, we can''t take it lightly. The Mikhail Prokhorov is not short of money, and is ranked 40th on the Forbes rich list with a value of $9.5 billion. If the acquisition turns into a bidding war by then, we will


    Arthur frowned tightly and nodded. Although his subordinates didn''t finish speaking, he naturally understood that if it was more than money, he would not be able to compare with the great local tyrant of bear country.


    According to the information he saw, Mikhail Prokhorov is not only very rich, but also the most enthusiastic sports fan. He used to be the owner of the bear country''s European champion basketball team and the coach of the national team.


    This time he entered the NBA because he tried to create a "Chelsea myth" in the NBA after seeing the success of compatriot Roman Abramovich at Chelsea.


    He has a gold mining company in Siberia, and he also accounts for a large part of the country''s aluminum producers. There is also a media empire, two banks, an insurance company and many real estate and other assets.


    However, like most bear country billionaires, Prokhorov''s wealth was shaped by the ashes of the former bear state, with a bit of luck and a strong ZZ relationship.


    This is undoubtedly the biggest resistance to his entry into the NBA. After all, the hostility and exclusion of the United States towards bear country is extraordinary. Moreover, the private life of this product is chaotic, and it has no good reputation in bear country and Europe.


    Especially in 2007, he and his friends went to a French ski resort and brought eight models to help them with their entertainment. The French police detained Prokhorov for three days on suspicion of that.


    Thinking of this, Arthur''s eyes slightly narrowed, flashing a sharp cold, the corner of his mouth slightly raised sneer: "help me to meet David Stern, at the same time, to release the news that I want to buy basketball nets, it''s time to make good use of the New York media."


    "Good boss."


    "By the way, have I contacted the person you contacted?" Arthur asked, suddenly thinking of something.


    "Bob Myers, surprised and delighted by your invitation, has left for New York and will be back in the afternoon."


    "Well, that''s good."


    Arthur''s mouth rose and he began to smile. Although he didn''t know why he invited a strange American to join the team of purchasing NBA team, he knew better than anyone. It was this man named Bob miles that led the transformation of Golden State Warriors.


    In order to make an NBA team reborn, reform is necessary. However, how to reform and who will preside over it is more important. Arthur has decided to cut off Bob Myers and make him the general manager of the team he wants to buy.
