The First Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety-First Chapters Veto the Acquisition
"Hundreds of billions of dollars in cash..."
Li Feng was somewhat moved, but then he thought about it, money is just a number to him, and he can only buy regular commodities, some valuable items that have no market, money can't buy.
In contrast, the value of spar is higher, although he does not need to use spar to improve his realm, maybe it will be more useful in the future.
Looking at it all the way, Li Feng watched it for four hours. When he turned off the computer, it was already 5:00 in the morning, and Li Feng went to bed.
...
A day later, the news that Joey was going to sell 49% of the Tornados to Li Feng spread in basketball circles.
This spread is only privately spread and has not been confirmed by Joey, but someone from the NBA board of directors has called and asked Joey, and Joey has given a positive answer.
NBA teams can’t be bought if they want to. Even if the team owner wants to sell and find a buyer to take over, the transaction may not be successful, because the transaction of team shares is regulated by the NBA board of directors.
If the NBA's board of directors disagrees, the deal can't be done.
Similarly, if a team owner commits public anger, the NBA board of directors has the right to let him sell his team shares.
So if Joey wants to sell Li Feng's 49% stake in the Tornados, he has to pass the NBA board of directors first.
In order to make this transaction a success, Joyce flew to the NBA headquarters in NY with Li Feng, met with the relevant leaders of the board of directors, and discussed the issue face-to-face.
Before flying away, Joey felt that this matter was not a big problem. Given his status in the NBA league and the fact that the Tornados were not a popular team, the board of directors had no reason to block this transaction.
After arriving at the NBA headquarters, the two were led by the staff to the front of the president's office.
"Mr. Joy, the president is waiting for you, please come in." The staff said with a smile.
Joey nodded and was about to bring Li Feng in.
"Sorry, Mr. Joey, the president said I saw you alone." The staff quickly stopped Li Feng and said apologetically.
"What did you say?" Joey couldn't believe his ears, and the tone was raised a lot.
"Sorry, that's what the president meant." The staff smiled apologetically and said cautiously.
"Lee is my friend, my best friend, and he's also a participant in this transaction. Why does Zach only see me?" Joey said, holding back his anger.
"Mr. Joey, I just conveyed what the president meant, please don't embarrass me?" The staff smiled bitterly.
"Joey, it's okay, I'll sit outside first." Li Feng patted Joey on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Joey frowned slightly, nodded after a while, then pushed the door and walked into the President's Office.
"Joey, long time no see, are you okay?" Zach Hicks, president of the league, opened his arms and came up to give Joey a hug.
Joey stopped him and said coldly: "Zach, before I say hello, I want to ask you a question, why don't you let Mr. Li come in too?"
Zach Hicks stopped his smile and sighed: "Joy, I'm here for your own good."
"What do you mean?" Joey frowned slightly.
"The shares of the Tornado cannot be sold to him. This is not only what I mean, but also what other directors mean." Zach Hicks said slightly embarrassed.
"Why?" Joey wondered.
"Li Feng is from China, and the NBA team cannot be controlled by a Chinese person, even if he does not have full control." Joey said solemnly.
Joey: "??? Zach,
Do you know what it means to say that? "
He couldn't believe his ears!
What kind of bullshit reason is this, just because Li Feng is from China? This reason is suspected... ah no, it is the race QS!
"I see what you mean, but we really are not racial QS, but this decision is made from the point of view of the interests of the alliance."
Zach Hicks spread his hands and said half helplessly and half firmly.
"What if I have to sell the shares to him?" Joey said coldly.
Zach Hicks shook his head and smiled: "Without the permission of the board, you have no right to buy or sell team shares. Go back and think about it."
After he finished speaking, he turned and returned to his seat, with a gesture of seeing off guests.
Joey's face changed several times, and finally he walked out of the president's office with a cold snort. After seeing Li Feng sitting on the lounge chair outside, Joey could no longer control his anger and cursed: "Li, those people are all A bunch of Shetts! I'm so angry, I'm really so angry, how could they deny this deal for such a reason?!"
"You know what, I'm the only black owner of the NBA's 32 teams, and when I bought this team, there was a lot of resistance. Really, these bastards are a bunch of racial QSs! I really want to play Explode their share offer!"
The NBA employees who came and went in the corridor were startled and stopped to watch.
Li Feng shook his head and smiled: "Joey, don't get excited, it's just a small matter, don't worry, I have a solution."
"Really?" Joey was suspicious.
"Of course." Li Feng smiled, walked to the door of the president's office and knocked on the door.
"Who?" Zach Hicks asked.
"Hua Xia, Li Feng." Li Feng's answer was also very simple.
"Sorry, I'm tired now and don't want to see guests," said Zach Hicks.
"If you don't see it, you won't see it, I just want to tell you something." Li Feng smiled.
"...What's the matter?" Zach Hicks was puzzled.
"Within half a month, you will be begging me to buy the Tornado stock."
After saying these words, Li Feng turned around and left, leaving Joey with a confused look on his face.
In the president's office, Zach Hicks was even more confused, no... Who gave Li Feng the courage to say such a thing?
The NBA league has never lacked rich people who want to acquire teams. Even if the NBA league needs to find a new owner for the Tornados due to some kind of accident, there are a lot of takers.
So Zach Hicks really couldn't guess why Li Feng could say such a thing.
After coming out of the NBA headquarters, Joey also raised this question.
"Joey, what do you think of the current development momentum of the NBA?" Li Feng asked with a smile.
Joey touched his chin and considered for a while: "In the United States, the development of the NBA league has encountered a bottleneck. At present, the focus of the NBA league is to develop markets other than the local market. China and Europe are the next places to focus on development."
"So what do you think is the best way to develop the market?" Li Feng then asked.
"The star line, the NBA urgently needs a star who can be the signature of the NBA, such as me." Joy said.
Just like LB, he is the number one player in the NBA in recent years. He has many advantages and many global fans, but he also has some very fatal shortcomings, which prevent him from reaching the height of Joey.
The most attractive thing in the NBA is the star-studded stars. Their unique personal charm and ornamental skills are the perfect weapon to attract fans.
Some people may think this is an exaggeration, but it is the truth, just as a team without stars will not get as much attention, and a team with many stars will have more fans.
"This is where my confidence lies." Li Feng blinked and smiled.
Joey suddenly realized!
