Chapter 145 We Wait
Dolan shook his head and said, "This is impossible, William. Garden Plaza has not only the Knicks, but also other teams. If you only buy the Knicks, it's possible. If you buy a package, no shareholders of Garden Plaza will agree."
William thought about it and said it was a pity. This year and next year are the best time to buy the Knicks. Affected by the stock market crash, the Dolan family suffered heavy losses in the stock market, and their net worth has almost dropped by half. It is not certain whether they have a net worth of 1.5 billion now.
Dolan does need funds to turn around, but the possibility of them selling all the Knicks is too low. Forget it, it's better to buy Chelsea with this money. He now has 11% of Chelsea's shares, and he is English. Even if he competes with Abramovich, he will definitely win.
"In that case, forget it. Thank you for your hospitality, Dolan. I'll think about it again. I'll call you if I have the result."
Dolan separated from William in frustration. He was still thinking about swindling 100 million or 200 million US dollars from this suddenly rich young man for fun. He didn't expect William to have such a big appetite.
He actually wanted to swallow up the core industry of their Dolan family. God, do young people nowadays not care about money? He didn't even frown at 1.5 billion US dollars. 1.5 billion is higher than the net worth of his entire family.
If he could make the decision, Dolan might really sell it to William, even if it was to the Knicks. Maybe he would go back and discuss it with his family, Dolan thought secretly in his heart.
William left on his own, but the guests around him looked at William's back in surprise. Who is this little guy? He can let Dolan pick him up in person and his attitude is so good?
You know, Dolan is not a good person to talk to. He is an alcoholic, takes medicine, and has a big mouth. New Yorkers don't have such a friendly impression of Dolan. The person who can make Dolan, who has a bad temper, receive him so formally must not be an ordinary person. Go back and check who this young man is.
When William walked into the stadium, sat in the first row of the stadium, and took off his hat, many people immediately recognized William. Isn't this the new super rich man in England that was broadcast on TV today?
The TV said that this young man's net worth exceeded 3 billion US dollars, which ranked him in the top 100 in the world, and he was so young and handsome. Many female stars looked at William with shining eyes, and looked at William from time to time. If you don't hook up with this super rich son-in-law, you'd be a fool.
Bartley, who just retired and became a TNT commentator, shouted into the microphone in surprise: "Wow, wow, look who this is, quick, turn the camera to the Knicks player's seat."
After the camera turned to William, who was looking around at the court and the players, the audience who had watched today's news immediately looked at the big screen on the scene excitedly, and the sound of shouting William's name came from time to time.
William turned his head in surprise and looked at the audience who shouted his name. He didn't know that the camera was facing him. The audience laughed at the confused William.
Bartley laughed and joked with his partner: "It seems that the enthusiasm of New York fans has scared our new rich man. Well, guys, be polite, maybe our rich man will treat you to hamburgers and Coke."
William knew he was on the big screen after being reminded by the burly audience next to him. He turned his head to look at the big screen, waved to the camera and greeted the audience.
After hearing the audience shouting "hamburgers and cola", he smiled and made an OK gesture to the camera.
Seeing William so generous, the audience couldn't help but applaud. Many girls shouted to William, "I love you, William."
William signed a check for $100,000 to the staff of the stadium who came to hear the news. The staff showed the check to the camera and called the fast food restaurant.
There were 18,000 spectators at the scene today. $100,000 was enough for two rounds of hamburgers and cola. They all applauded for William again. The hand that took the person's hand was short, and the mouth that ate the person's mouth was soft. From time to time, the voice of thanks came from the scene.
William was also very happy to spend a little money to advertise in front of the American audience, but the praise of the audience on the scene made the madman Latrell Sprewell dissatisfied. This guy cursed and pretended to miss and threw the basketball at William.
The situation that Latrell Sprewell expected did not happen. Who is William? He is a person with a cheat. Amid the exclamations of the audience, he caught the basketball flying towards him with one hand without turning his head.
William grabbed the basketball and looked at Latrell Sprewell. This guy didn't feel embarrassed at all, and he arrogantly shouted at William to pass the ball back to him.
The audience was stunned by Latrell Sprewell, a brainless guy. He actually shot at the audience. Doesn't he want to play? This guy will definitely be suspended after the game.
William ignored Latrell Sprewell, grabbed the basketball and patted it, and threw it towards the basket on the Eagles side.
The basketball was directly thrown into the basket with a sound of "shua" amid the surprise of nearly 20,000 people at the scene.
Haha, William was secretly happy in his heart. It's cool to have a cheat. Bullseye's throwing ability is really a magical skill in shooting, plus his strength is several times stronger than that of ordinary people.
He didn't even need to jump up, he just stood there and threw the basketball into the basket easily. The big mouth Bartley kept saying "Unbelievable, this must be a fluke", and shouted for William to do it again.
At this time, the audience also shouted "Do it again" loudly under Bartley's reminder. A player from the Eagles team was also a crowd pleaser. Seeing the audience's request, this guy picked up the basketball and passed it to William.
After William took the basketball, he threw it directly into the basket without any preparation. The basketball went into the basket like the first time.
This made the audience go crazy immediately. Many people covered their hair with their hands and shouted "Incredible, this is not true". Some people shouted for another one. They didn't believe that William's shooting ability was so strong.
When it comes to dribbling and passing, William is of course a rookie, but he is confident that he can make a hundred shots without anyone defending him.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
William took the basketball and walked to the commentary seat with a smile amid the shouts of the audience, and signaled to Bartley that he wanted to speak.
Bartley really has a talent for entertainment. No wonder he can achieve the same success in commentary as a player after retirement. He smiled and stood up and picked up the microphone to William.
After William thanked Bartley, he said to the microphone: "Thank you for your enthusiasm, how about we play a little game?"
Bartley didn't wait for the audience to respond and said directly to the microphone: "Of course, we welcome any interesting games, it depends on how you want to play, audience friends, don't you agree?"
"Of course" the audience at the scene immediately catered to Bartley's words. Now they didn't care whether the game time was about to end. Such an interesting thing, the New York audience must agree.
William said with a smile: "Okay, the game I want to play is that I stand on the center circle line and shoot ten balls at the basket. If you shoot it in, you have to salute me and say long live Devon Hill. If you don't shoot it in, you will get a bottle of Budweiser for each ball, except for children. Of course, the children at the scene can get a Bartley signed basketball. So, Bartley, no problem."
"Of course, no problem, no problem at all, autographing is nothing, let's take photos together, what I care about is your Budweiser, William, I don't believe you can get all ten, don't you agree?" Bartley shouted to the audience, he was very excited about this kind of limelight.
Audience at the scene "Yes, we are waiting for your Budweiser"
