Chapter 3256 Lakers Chinese Boss
In fact, not only was he moved, but Paul Allen was also moved. He didn't think it was very profitable. To be honest, no matter how good the idea was, it wouldn't make much money in a year. But what he cared about was this idea, this
Creativity that brings change to life.
Human beings have been reading newspapers for more than a hundred years. It is unknown how many trees have been cut down, how much ink has been wasted, and how much pollution has been caused to the earth. Now, it seems that the time has finally come for change, and he is willing to participate in this change.
.
"Lin, are you interested in finding a collaborator?" Paul Allen asked.
Although the two are friends and partners, whether Lin Feng needs a partner in this matter depends on what Lin Feng wants. If Lin Feng does not need a partner, then neither he nor Cuban
I won’t say anything more. After all, everyone has their own dignity. No matter how much they want to cooperate, they will not stick to the cold butt.
"Haha, why not cooperate? I feel that after all, I am only one person with limited energy. Instead of investing my limited energy in endless careers, it is better to find more partners and get rich together. That would be more interesting!" Lin Feng
Laugh.
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation!" Paul Allen laughed.
"Happy cooperation!" Cuban also raised his wine glass high.
The clinking of glasses by three people means that the intention of cooperation has been reached. As for the rest, their representatives will negotiate and communicate. Naturally, they do not need to do these things of scheming, intrigues, and hurting feelings for the sake of interests. They only need to
The only thing to do is to tell your bottom line and let the representative fight for it. The rest is to wait for the final result to come out and the three of them sit down together to drink and celebrate.
"Tell me, what will happen to this luxury tax in the end?" Cuban said.
Lin Feng shook his head. Anyway, the luxury tax is definitely indispensable. It just depends on how much it is. But as Lin Feng said in the conference room just now, it is nothing more than an extra 100 million. It is still a matter of an extra 200 million. This is a small amount of money.
, Lin Feng doesn’t care.
Sure enough, the NBA then officially announced a new luxury tax reform. Starting from the 2007-2008 season, the NBA will double the penalty policy for teams that exceed the luxury tax. For every $5 million exceeded, the penalty will be doubled. And
The maximum penalty will be 4 times. For example, if the luxury tax is US$60 million, and if you pay US$70 million, originally you would only have to pay an extra US$10 million in fines, but now it is different. Now you have to pay an extra US$30 million.
According to this regulation, the Houston Rockets' luxury tax may be very high. Because starting next season, many players will have to renew their contracts. For example, James, Wade and others. Once they renew their contracts, the Houston Rockets' salary will be far more than
Luxury tax. So will Lin Feng still sign? Will the newly established dynasty of the Houston Rockets fall apart because of this?
Amid everyone's speculation, when Lin Feng attended the first game of the playoffs between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers, he boasted to reporters, "No matter how much the salary is, no matter how much the luxury tax is, as long as the players are capable.
, I will give them corresponding remuneration, and my promise will never change. If they are capable, they should receive remuneration worthy of their status."
Lin Feng's promise undoubtedly reassured the tens of thousands of Houston Rockets fans present. Regarding this newly released clause, which was approved by two-thirds of the owners, many Houston Rockets fans were filled with indignation. Because this is basically aimed at 'Houston
The Rockets' luxury tax clause, in fact, Houston Rockets fans have always called it the 'Rockets Clause'. But since the league has formulated it, and more than two-thirds of the owners agree, then they must obey it. Therefore, they are worried about Lin Feng
Would be afraid of such a high luxury tax and dismantle such a luxurious lineup.
Now Lin Feng has promised not to dismantle the lineup, which undoubtedly makes all fans feel at ease. As long as Lin Feng promises to sign, they will continue to enjoy the team's dynasty performance.
"The God of Wind is mighty!" The screams of the God of Wind also echoed in the Houston Rockets' Wahaha Center.
Lin Feng laughed.
In the first game of the Western Conference playoffs, the Houston Rockets played against the Los Angeles Lakers. This season, the Los Angeles Lakers originally wanted to continue to maintain an ok combination, but halfway through, the conflict between Shaq O'Neal and Kobe could not be concealed.
They were already incompatible with each other. In the end, in desperation, the Lakers chose to send away O'Neal and keep Kobe. Therefore, the Lakers' record plummeted. Although they finally made it to the playoffs, they were ranked eighth. They happened to face the first-ranked Houston Rockets.
.
Although Kobe Bryant made lofty words before the game that he would definitely lead the team to the finals, but lofty words are worth lofty words, and strength is more valuable than strength. Kobe is the only one who can't compete with the five-pronged Houston Rockets. Especially, the Houston Rockets are either the main force or the substitute.
When they were so strong, the Los Angeles Lakers began to fall behind early. The game became one-sided.
By halftime, the Los Angeles Lakers were already 24 points behind. Basically, unless there was any miracle, this game would be considered final.
"Boss, are the Lakers so bad?" Zhiling looked on in shock. She didn't like basketball very much. Although she was with Lin Feng, she knew a little bit about basketball, but she didn't like it, so she usually played basketball except for the Houston Rockets.
Apart from that, other teams didn't pay much attention to it. So I didn't know that the Los Angeles Lakers, a giant, would be beaten so badly by the Houston Rockets.
Lin Feng smiled.
"Any dynasty does not die from strong enemies, but collapses from civil strife. This is the case with the Lakers. If O'Neal had not left, this would not be the case!" Lin Feng lamented. Although O'Neal is 34 years old this year, his black physique makes him
It still maintains sufficient deterrence, at least in the interior, Yao Ming is still unable to resist O'Neal, who has not completely aged. Even with the addition of power forward Boozer, it is difficult for the interior to reach O'Neal, the prehistoric beast. Unfortunately, O'Neal's departure
, causing the Lakers to lose their deterrence inside. As for the outside, Kobe alone can't beat the combination of LeBron and Jordan. Although Jordan is older, his defensive awareness is still there. In a limited time frame, Kobe is not that easy to break through.
. And even if Jordan has no energy, Wade will still play.
Therefore, the inside line is not good, and the outside line is completely locked up. The current situation of the Lakers is reasonable. And Lin Feng dares to assert that this is still a situation where the team has not fully exerted its strength. If it fully exerts its strength, only Kobe will lead the game.
The Lakers should be leading by at least 30 points in this half.
Zhiling suddenly realized.
Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. Zhiling doesn't like basketball, so Lin Feng really can't help it. It took a lot of effort to come to watch the game, but there was no one to talk to. It would be great if Jessica Alba was here. It's a pity.
She is filming in Los Angeles. When the Houston Rockets go to Los Angeles, Jessica will go to watch the game and cheer for the Houston Rockets. As for Avril, it is the same. She has to practice singing, and she is not very interested in basketball.
Moreover, the Houston Rockets have won the championship every year in the past few years, and they have played against a weak Lakers, so she did not come. When the Houston Rockets go to Los Angeles, she and Jessica will come to support them.
Lin Feng lamented the weak Lakers. Kobe, who was standing on the court at the moment, although he has led the team alone, has he also experienced the helplessness of leading the team alone? Jordan needs Pippen to assist, not to mention you, Kobe? Of course, Lin Feng
I also know that even if the Lakers are in dire straits and no matter how unbearable they are, Kobe will not give in. This is a super strong man who will never lose his fighting spirit to anyone. Unfortunately, his own Houston is stronger!
"Hey, it's such a pity that there are conflicts of minds!" At this moment, an unskilled Chinese speaker floated over from the side.
Lin Feng looked sideways and saw a Chinese man with gray hair, but he should be of Chinese descent.
"Hello, who are you?" Lin Feng stretched out his hand.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, my name is Huang Xinxiang, one of the shareholders of the Lakers." The middle-aged man extended his right hand.
Huang Xinxiang and Lin Feng were stunned. I had heard of this name before. He is one of the small owners of the Lakers. He has assets worth billions of dollars and is one of the richest people in the United States. Because he is of Chinese descent and owns shares in the Lakers, he has contributed to China.
Well known to most fans.
"I didn't expect Mr. Huang to come to Houston to watch the game. It was a surprise," Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Haha, I just bought shares this year, so I can't wait." Huang Xinxiang chuckled, "Besides, I also want to come to this 'Wahaha Center' to have a look. I just didn't expect that I would meet you, Mr. Lin."
Lin Feng originally had a box, but he was used to sitting in the front row to watch games. Huang Xinxiang could buy box tickets, but he also liked to sit in the front row, and they happened to be right next to each other.
"By the way, this is my business card. Let's have tea together when you have time!" Huang Xinxiang handed Lin Feng a business card.
Lin Feng took it and took a look. There was a list of top names on it, most of whom were the chairman of xx Biotechnology Company. Of course, there was a note next to it: doctor.
Doctor! Lin Feng’s eyes lit up.
The doctor, this Chinese Laker shareholder, is actually a doctor. This is something Lin Feng did not expect. He is a doctor and has founded so many biotechnology companies, so he must be quite familiar with medicine. In this case, he
The issue of listing qualifications of 'Rejuvenation Pill' and 'Yumen Pass' may fall on this person. If not, why would the two of them suddenly sit together.
This was obviously God's arrangement, otherwise God would not have allowed the two of them to sit right next to each other.
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!" Lin Feng stretched out his hand.
"Haha, Mr. Lin is too polite." Huang Xinxiang smiled slightly, "If I really say it's a pleasure to meet you, it's me. Mr. Lin's miracle shines on the whole sky and makes all of us Chinese proud!"
