Chapter 1281: Li Feng's Ambition

"Oh Shet!"

On the sidelines, Joey covered his head, looking very annoyed.

If it is him, he has many ways to throw the ball in, change hands in the air for a layup, or make a jump shot after passing the LB. More directly, he takes advantage of his speed to not give the LB a chance to block...

In short, he was very angry at this ball. If it wasn't for Zorro's self-esteem, Joey really wanted to swear a few words.

Li Feng on the side couldn't help but smile: "Joey, do you have any plans to sell the team?"

"Uh... no, I like the Tornados." Joey shrugged.

When he bought the team nine years ago, he spent $270 million. Now the market value of the team has reached $1.5 billion, which has increased by more than five times in nine years. It can be said that it is a very successful investment for Joey. .

Of course, he initially bought the Tornados just for investment, but after 9 years of operation, he already has feelings for the team, even though the Tornados are the worst team in NBA history...

"Then do you have any plans to sell a small portion of your equity?" Li Feng asked.

Joey raised his eyebrows: "Do you want to buy it?"

"I have this plan." Li Feng shrugged and said with a smile: "It doesn't need to be too much, 30% is enough."

Joey looked at Li Feng for a while, and after a while he wondered, "Can I ask you a few questions?"

"sure."

"You bought shares of the Tornados for investment?"

Li Feng thought for a while and said, "It's just one of the reasons, and there's another reason... I want Chinese players to play with the Tornados. It's better to be the main force."

As a Chinese, I should contribute to the strength of the country. Now Huaxia's comprehensive national strength has entered the ranks of major countries, but its soft power is still not good, not to mention compared with the United States, compared with some European countries. Not much.

If you want to improve a country's soft power, you must work hard on cultural output.

Take the United States with the most powerful soft power as an example. Hollywood movies, NBA leagues, many trend-setting singers, and powerful technology companies are all TA's soft power.

The United States relies on these to export their culture and subtly influence the world's impression of the United States.

Therefore, if we want to improve Huaxia's soft power, we must work hard in film and television, sports, music, and technology.

Li Feng's current layout is to achieve this goal, acquiring HN Films, cooperating in filming, and investing in the League One team Suzaku.

In the future, it will definitely attract a large number of fans around the world. After the Suzaku team enters the Premier League, it will also attract a large number of fans.

The main actors of the key movie and the main force of the Suzaku team are Chinese people. Fans love the house and Wuxia. Can they not be interested in Huaxia, and then take the initiative to learn about Huaxia?

If you can acquire an NBA team, you don’t need to hold any shares, you just need to let the team sign a few more talented players from Huaxia, just like the original YAO, to attract fans from all over the world.

With a multi-pronged approach, China's soft power will be greatly improved, catching up or even surpassing the United States.

This is Li Feng's ambition!

"Li, I understand what you mean. I admire your desire to contribute to the country, but the NBA league is based on strength, and it is impossible to play if you are not strong enough."

Joey doesn't mind selling the shares to Li Feng's team, let alone 30%, even if Li Feng wants 51%, he is willing to sell it.

One is that Li Feng helped him win more than 500 million US dollars, and the other is that his net worth and life are all in the hands of Li Feng, and he just bought some shares. He really could not find a reason to refuse.

But Joey was afraid that after Li Feng became the team owner, he would interfere with the team's operation and let the weak Huaxia players play the main force.

This will affect the team's record.

Once the record is not good, Li Feng insists on using Huaxia players, which will cause the fans to be disgusted or even angry. At that time... the market value of the Tornado team will definitely be greatly affected.

The market value is reduced to nothing. If it affects his reputation, then the problem will be big.

Li Feng said with a smile: "Of course, I agree with your point of view. Only if you have enough strength can you play the main force. I also believe that as long as you give Chinese players a chance, they can play their due worth. Isn't YAO the most obvious example?"

"As long as you agree to sell me more than 30% of the shares, I have a way to turn the Winds into the most valuable team in the NBA and win a championship within three years."

YAO is the best Chinese player in the NBA and the only Chinese player to enter the Hall of Fame.

Because of him, more Chinese people like the NBA league. It can be said that he is the bridge connecting the two countries.

It's a pity that he had an incurable injury during his peak period, and finally retired because of the injury, otherwise his achievements will be even greater.

Upon hearing this, Joey immediately became interested: "Li, aren't you fooling me?"

At present, the team with the largest market value is the NY team, with a market value of 4 billion US dollars. If Li Feng really has a way to make the Tornados become the team with the largest market value, he must increase the current market value by another 2.5 billion US dollars.

By then, his net worth will be multiplied!

Not to mention the appeal to Joey of winning a championship.

"Of course not." Li Feng smiled slightly and placed a circle of infuriating barriers around him before he said, "Imagine what kind of influence would you have if you joined the Tornado team at your peak?"

Joey was stunned for a moment, then said with a strange expression: "Li, this is impossible, there is only one me in the world."

"Suppose, you can imagine." Li Feng said with a smile.

Joey nodded and said with a look of fascination: "The attention of the Tornado team will become the first in the league, the market value will increase sharply, business cooperation will come one after another, and other stars in the league will rush to join, always. Champions are within reach."

If someone else said this sentence, they would definitely be sprayed to death with saliva.

The Lakers during the Big Four all missed out on the championship. Why do you say the championship is within reach?

But the person who said this is the king of basketball who has won three consecutive championships twice, entered the finals six times and won six championships, and his personal salary is more than the sum of one team, so no one dares to question it.

"That's right, that's what I just said." Li Feng said with a smile.

Joey: "???"

No...it's an assumption! Suppose! not real!

After a long while, Joey spit out a turbid breath and said: "I can't go back to the peak. Since there is no me in the peak period, there will be no follow-up changes!"

Even if there is a person with the same strength as him in the draft, the Winds also select him, there will be no follow-up changes, because he does not have the influence of Joey.

Joey's influence in basketball is unique, and no one can surpass him, at least for now.

Li Feng shook his head and said mysteriously: "A friend of mine likes archaeology. Recently, he dug up a treasure. According to his description, this treasure can make people lose 30 years of age, that is... rejuvenation."

Joey's breathing became rapid!
