After seeing Brian off, Zeng Gong took Elena to New York. Rommel has already contacted the owners of the New York Knicks and the Nets respectively before. Only the owner of the Nets, Bruce Laettner, extended an olive branch. This time he wanted to make contact. Although the Nets have not produced many dazzling results since joining the NBA, some professional data analysts believe that it still has great potential to be tapped, and the team value has been growing. Of course, other teams It has also entered a stage of rapid growth. The environment in East Rutherford is too narrow, which affects the growth of the Nets. Otherwise, Laettner always hopes to move to New York next door? When I walked into Lightner¡¯s company, nothing happened that would lower my IQ. Lightner¡¯s secretary enthusiastically guided me to his magnificent office. "Haha, hello Mr. Zeng, I didn't expect the owner of the largest contiguous ranch in the United States to be so young and promising." Leitner, who had already been greeted at the door, shook hands with Zeng Gong flatteringly. "Mr. Lightner, your office is quite magnificent." Zeng Gong said with a smile. It also looked at it. Needless to say, the whole office is spacious. The four -week wall can be said to be brilliant, and there are also several real and false oil paintings hanging, and the taste suddenly bursts out. "Haha, this style was from a long time ago. I've always wanted to change it, but I haven't had time yet." Leitner's face turned red in a rare sight, and he explained with lack of confidence. This was the decoration in his early years. His courage, courage, and opportunity allowed him to achieve his dream of becoming a billionaire. Perhaps it was because he did not have time to settle down, and his passion and joy went to his head, so he decorated this splendid office. For this reason, his old friend did not Stop teasing him. "By the way, Mr. Zeng, why are you interested in our Nets? Are you Chinese also preparing to enter the NBA?" Laettner asked. Since Yao Ming entered the NBA, the attention from China has been increasing day by day. The huge Chinese market is simply a delicious feast. President Ernst attaches even more importance to capital injections from China. He is also very concerned about Leitner's trade of the team. Especially Zeng Gong¡¯s Chinese identity. "Haha, I'm afraid you will be disappointed, Mr. Leitner. This is entirely my personal behavior." Zeng Gong shook his head. Buying the team was purely his personal behavior. Is it just a personal behavior? Leitner was a little disappointed. "What do you think of the Nets, Mr. Zeng?" Laettner's disappointment flashed away, and he immediately returned to his true nature as a shrewd businessman. "It's just so-so. The ball market is small. Although I have been in the NBA for a long time, I have never won a championship. There are no truly unforgettable stars. Occasionally, some stars appear and they are just passers-by. This background is really shallow, Laettner Sir, you should know that I have been in contact with Dolan," Zeng Gong said calmly. It used to be a strong team in the ABA, but its performance in the NBA has been tepid, and the Nets are not a good choice. "Dolan? Dolan will not sell the team." Laettner said excitedly. Of course Dolan will not sell the team, and the Knicks' current performance is not very good, but they make money and can advertise for their own company. The most important thing is that Dolan and his son have always been fans. How could this happen? Selling the Knicks, a cash cow. "So, let's meet." Zeng Gong shrugged. "Yes, Mr. Zeng, we met. Although the Nets face many problems, too many people are interested in it." Laettner glared at Zeng Gong and said loudly. "Mikhail Prokhorov?" Zeng Gong took a sip of the coffee in his hand and said slowly. Of course he had to investigate his competitors before coming. This rich man from Russia would be his biggest competitor. If he had not participated, the Nets would most likely fall into the hands of the Russians. Not only money, but also Being able to get fresh blood from the international community is something Ernst would like to see happen. "We have been in contact before, and I am very satisfied with the price he offered. He even promised to move the Nets to New York. Sir, don't doubt the Russian's ability. He has both money and skill." Laettner said to Zeng Gong It was no surprise to learn about the Russians, as they had no intention of hiding anything. "Really?" Zeng Gong didn't doubt anything. He knew the style of Russian rich people and would never be stingy with money. For example, the luxury yacht Abu Eclipse is worth up to 724 million pounds. It has a ballroom, exhibition hall, private cinema, restaurant, The aquarium, gymnasium, etc. are extremely luxurious, and there are even intruder detection systems and German-made missile defense systems, which are simply crazy. "Uh." Leitner was stunned for a moment, confused. What a crazy situation, he didn't play according to the routine. Is this still a young man? He is just an old fox who has been on the battlefield for a long time. "Isn't Mr. Zeng curious?" Leitner lost his temper, but remained stubborn. "I'm curious. Of course I'm curious. I'm waiting for you to tell me." Zeng Gong sat upright and looked attentive. Leitner was embarrassed. "Well, actually I don't want the Russians to buy my team." "You don't want the Chinese to buy your team even more." Zeng Gong squinted his eyes and stared at Leitner, who was spread out in the chair. He said quietly. "You're not Chinese anymore, are you?" Leitner shook his head. In fact, his perception of Chinese people was not that bad. "It doesn't matter, the price is the same, but the team is moving to Pittsburgh, and Mellon Bank has agreed to build a stadium for us." Zeng Gong said gloomily. Pittsburgh? "Yes, but I want to retain 30% of the equity." Leitner thought for a moment and agreed on the spot. Pittsburgh is a model city for economic transformation in the 21st century. High-tech and finance are booming here, and it has been rated as one of the most livable cities. It has a strong foundation in sports, culture, and economy. Baseball, rugby, and ice hockey have already won awards here. With success, I believe the Nets will definitely be able to get a share of the pie here. "No problem, Mr. Leitner, we have a happy cooperation." Zeng Gong nodded happily, smiled and stretched out his right hand. There is no other way, because the gold-swallowing behemoth of Qinglian Ranch doesn¡¯t have much money at its disposal. "It's a pleasure to cooperate." Leitner smiled. He didn't expect that the cooperation intention was reached so easily. Although there were some details that needed to be discussed, they were all minutiae. The most important thing was that he could finally relieve the company's financial pressure. As a real estate developer, Businesses have borne the brunt of the cold wave of the financial crisis. "Now that we've finished talking about the team, let's talk about other things."
