Chapter 169 Boss Cai's Envy

At this time, domestic fans are excited!

Previously, Boss Cai spent more than 30 billion US dollars to acquire the Nets.

Let domestic fans have a little bit of sustenance in the bleak time when there were no Chinese players in the NBA.

Later, Boss Cai formed the Big Three, and the Nets gradually wanted to catch up with the Lakers and Warriors in the hearts of domestic fans.

But now, Shen Hao is in charge of the New York Knicks, instantly poking the excitement of all fans!

The owners of the two teams are both Chinese and both are located in New York, a proper city derby!

However, in the hearts of many New York fans, the Nets are not worthy of being compared with the Knicks.

Especially when Ainge took the post of general manager, all Knicks fans have full confidence in the future of the team.

With the Knicks' ball market and eight draft picks in hand, whether it is rebuilding or direct trading, they have the opportunity to form a championship lineup.

Thibodeau last season disappointed New York fans.

The newcomer Spoelstra has a very good record in coaching the Heat.

As an Eastern Conference team, Spoelstra will not be dissatisfied if he wants to come.

However, the reason why the Knicks' record is bad is not only that the management is too stupid, but also the fans' strict requirements also play a big role.

It is not easy to conquer New York fans.

At this time, in the Knicks' training hall.

The trainers are doing body side to Chu Ran.

One by one, jaw-dropping data kept coming out of the trainer's mouth.

"Shit, is this too exaggerated?"

"I bet that if Chu played in the NCAA for one year, he would definitely be the No. [-] pick!"

"Shooting, breakthrough, defense, passing... Chu can do anything!"

"God must have favored us, so he arranged for a yellow-skinned Jordan to save the Knicks!"

……

Chu Ran turned a deaf ear to the emotions of the trainers, and completed all the physical tests under the guidance of the trainers with a calm expression.

At this time, Anji, Si Bo, Shen Hao, and several executives were all standing on the sidelines.

Si Bo's eyes were straightened, he didn't dare to think that a yellow-skinned Chinese defender would have such comprehensive abilities.

In terms of physical confrontation, Chu Ran is also extremely tough and can fully adapt to the rhythm of the NBA.

Although the shooting percentage is slightly inferior to the current superstars in the league, it is definitely at the All-Star level.

The only one who knows about Chu Ran now is the Knicks.

Such a treasure does not take up the team's draft pick, and even the seasoned and shrewd Angie couldn't help laughing.

His contracts with Spoelstra are all tied to the team's record.

The stronger the Knicks are, the more he and Spoeldo earn.

There are many teams that are greedy for the picks in the hands of the Knicks. Except for the Thunder who are addicted to hoarding picks, the Knicks are one of the few teams in the league with multiple picks.

Angie couldn't bear to look directly at the Knicks' lineup and a bunch of junk contracts.

Anyway, he couldn't figure out how stupid he was to be able to give poison contracts one after another, and the behavior of hoarding multiple power forwards all showed that the management was no different from mental retardation.

For Angie, the first task is to send Randall away.

As for how Anji operates, Shen Hao won't ask too much.

In this regard, Angie is definitely an expert, and he is the only one who cheats others.

With Churan, the Knicks' future tactics are very clear. Build a team around Churan, introduce some functional players, and control the team's salary within a reasonable range.

And in China, there is another piece of news about Boss Shen, who has caused countless Chinese people to enter the mode of eating melons.

Boss Shen won a super luxury house at 432 Park Avenue!
This mansion can be called the "King of Buildings in New York", and the price per square meter reaches 80 US dollars (560 million yuan/square meter)!

When it was first released, He Qiulong, the son of the gambling king, spent nearly 5 million to snatch a top-floor apartment.

How powerful is this 432 super luxury real estate?

The best high-rise real estate in the first-tier cities in China always likes to sell houses at 432 to increase the high-grade, such as Shenchengwan No. 1 and Jingcheng Yujintai.

The daily scenery outside the window of this mansion, you can see the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty at a glance, and Central Park is at your feet.

The impact of the Upper East Side of New York will definitely make you feel the big gap between the rich and the poor in the world!
In the United States, especially New York, the rich rarely buy a house in the Provence countryside and live a clean country life.

When they buy a house, they will first choose a downtown location in a top city in the world.

The scarcity of urban resources lies in good locations + top-floor mansions, such as the banks of the Huangpu River in Shanghai, facing the Oriental Pearl Tower, which is the key to the pursuit of the rich.

As the tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere, 432 is located on 57th Street in Manhattan, where the richest Americans gather.

This avenue nicknamed "Billionaire's Row" is also a symbol of New York's high society and a place where countless celebrities come and go every day.

Many American girls dream of living on 57th Street in Manhattan!

However, the shape of 432 is really nothing special, just like a well-behaved super-high cuboid standing in the city center, some people even feel that the appearance of 432 affects the scenery of the whole Manhattan.

The most prominent feature of the whole building is nothing more than super high, with a height of 426 meters!
The Empire State Building is next to 432, and it has been reduced to scum in seconds...

The entire building of 432 has a total of 96 floors, and each floor is composed of multiple large floor-to-ceiling windows of 10 feet x 10 feet.

Compared with the ordinary appearance, the interior design is the highlight of the whole building.

432 officially refers to the interior design as Palladian style, which originated in Venice in the 16th century, and ancient Roman architecture is its foundation.

In layman's terms, this style usually pays great attention to symmetry on the outside, but the inside is very luxurious. In ancient Rome, it was a symbol of class and power.

Being able to be associated with the word rich and powerful is not a matter of course.

Such a tall building only sells 104 suites, including small-sized butler rooms (starting price of 4900W RMB).

Only owners who have already purchased a house in 432 can buy it. One can imagine how luxurious it is.

Among them, the house type on the highest residential floor covers a total area of ​​more than 767 square meters. The whole house type has a complete 360-degree view. The number of rooms is the most among all house types in the entire building, with a total of 6!
This house type does not pursue any dark gray and cold style, but focuses on bright and warm interior design. The overall tone is very warm and very livable.

Because the overall space is a 10x10 square window structure, basically every space in the house has a wall belonging to the city scenery, just like a movie screen.

A good super mansion requires not only beautiful landscape, but also practicality that meets daily needs.

At 432, owners have a private elevator, fitness center, movie screening room and spa with custom butler service.

Shen Hao just looked at the photos, and immediately made a decision to take down this mansion on the 96th floor.

The previous owner of this penthouse was a Saudi rich man who bought it for 9500 million US dollars.

However, the Saudi rich man bought this luxury house and never lived in it. He has been sending property companies to clean it regularly, obviously intending to purchase it as an investment.

Selling oil will run out one day.

And like the super luxury houses in the Upper East Side of New York, the price is one day, and it is impossible to depreciate.

$1.4 billion!
The rich man in Saudi Arabia readily agreed to sell it as a meeting gift. The red wine in the villa's wine cabinet, worth about 300 million US dollars, was given to Shen Hao for free.

There is really no pressure for Shen Hao to win this luxury house.

With the Knicks' profit, at the worst time, there is also a net profit of 1.5 million U.S. dollars per year.

When the performance is good, the annual net profit can even be as high as 2 million US dollars.

No wonder Dolan refused to sell the New York Knicks. Who would not be willing to sell such a profitable business?
This is the power of the system, which made Dolan willing to resell it to Shen Hao.

Now such a hen that can lay golden eggs has become Shen Hao's.

The Knicks' annual revenue consists of home tickets, broadcast fees, and commercial sponsorships.

For a regular season, a family of four to watch a live game, including tickets, souvenirs, meals, etc., costs about $936.

And the Warriors with 8 championships in 4 years are only $740.

As for the Hornets held by Jordan, it only costs 237 US dollars.

Therefore, Dolan attracts the envy of many NBA bosses.

Even if the Knicks' record is outrageous, Madison Garden, the home stadium, is located in Manhattan, New York. This is an out-and-out rich area. Watching the game live has become a fashionable gathering for celebrities from all walks of life.

The star guests on the sidelines are even more famous than the NBA players on the court. Once the tickets are sold, they will basically be sold out immediately.

In addition, geographically, Madison Garden Arena is adjacent to the largest railway station in the United States-Penn Station.

Tourists and tourists from other places will come to check in this iconic building when they get off the train, which also makes the attendance rate of the Knicks' home games always at the top of the league.

On the other hand, the Nets team in Brooklyn was a slum in New York a few decades ago, and the bottom of the unemployed society was mainly concentrated here.

Economic development lags behind, and infrastructure is far away from the Manhattan blocks across the river.

This has led to the reluctance of the wealthy to come here to watch the game, and the local civilians are unwilling to pay high ticket fees.

With no fans present to watch the game, the team's advertising revenue is difficult to increase, and the team's overall revenue has shown negative growth, which eventually caused the team's market value to remain stagnant for the past two years.

Boss Cai, who visited 432, couldn't help but be dumbfounded. As expected of the youngest super rich man in China, this move is different.

Regarding 432, Boss Cai has heard about it a long time ago, after all, the Nets are also in New York.

As a super-rich goalkeeper, Boss Tsai also bought a luxury house in New York, spending 1.6 million US dollars.

However, he bought two floors, but Shen Hao only bought one floor, so it was naturally better.

The luxury house he bought is also located on this billionaire street, but his building number is 220, and Shen Hao's building is 432.
In terms of height, 432 is far more than 220, overlooking the crowd, the well-deserved king of New York buildings!
Wealth inequality has always been a very sensitive topic.

Like the line Queen B said in "Gossip Girl", "People like you who live 70 blocks away, I usually need a tetanus shot to dare to go near you."

In New York, prominence is even more naked.

The rich are in a state of luxury, embracing celebrities and models in and out, while the poor rack their brains for three meals a day.

The prosperity of the Upper East Side is in great contrast to the messiness of other neighborhoods.

Shen Hao, who is a wealthy group, is not the Holy Mother, he only needs to take good care of himself and those around him.

As for the others, he is not God.

Every year, he also invests a lot of money to run his own charitable foundation.

Over the past few years, tens of thousands of children in impoverished mountainous areas have been funded successively, and special personnel will regularly check to ensure that the charity funds are in place.

The two were drinking red wine, Boss Cai saw that Shen Hao didn't answer, so he had to express his thoughts frankly.

"Mr. Shen, Durant in our team, I don't know if the Knicks are interested. Durant is a super giant. Although we don't get along well, he is still very sought-after."

Boss Cai tried his best to sell Durant, but he didn't have the confidence to contact Angie.

Boss Cai knows how bad Anji is.

Think about tears.

Shen Hao smiled and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I have delegated the Knicks signing rights to Angie, maybe you can give Angie a call."

"Uh……"

Boss Cai smiled wryly, if he had that kind of talk, he would still use it to beg Shen Hao.

For the Knicks across the river, Boss Cai did consider it at the beginning, and even quoted a price, but he couldn't impress Dolan at all.

He never thought that Dolan would sell the Knicks to his compatriots, it has to be said to be fate.

It's a pity that the combination of Ou Shenxian + Durant has made the Nets foolish.

Boss Cai is having a lot of trouble to say now, and now all the teams know that he and Durant are incompatible, so naturally they are unwilling to give their favorite trading chips.

"President Shen, I'm curious, aren't you afraid that a cold-blooded person like Angie in charge of the Knicks will dissatisfy the players?"

Boss Cai had considered Anji before, but he still felt that the cold-blooded Anji couldn't get along with him.

"dissatisfied?"

Shen Hao shrugged, "I'm the boss, maybe it depends on their faces."

"makes sense."

Boss Cai let out a long sigh. It was because of his soft personality that Ou Shenxian and Durant would coerce him at every turn and leave the team if they disagreed.

Facts have proved that people of yellow race must not be too weak in the NBA, a commercial league.

It's a pity that there is only one person in the league who can be as shrewd and cold-blooded as Angie!
But thinking about the annual salary Shen Hao offered An Ji, Boss Cai could only shake his head helplessly.

The basic salary of 1000 million US dollars, in the entire NBA, almost no team dares to match it.

What's more, there is still a championship bonus of 500 million US dollars!

Such a high salary is probably only given by Shen Hao.

Boss Cai came over, just to meet each other.

After all, they are all in the NBA, so it would be nice to be able to hug each other to keep warm.

Originally, the Knicks' record was not very good, but Boss Cai could predict that the Knicks would take off soon.

And just as Boss Cai left, a familiar figure appeared in this top-floor mansion.

The widow sister happened to have an event today, so she obviously still couldn't forget Shen Hao.

Shen Hao faced the widow sister who came to his door, and he would not refuse anyone.

The widow propped up the floor-to-ceiling glass window in the living room, showing her good flexibility.

The widow was deeply fascinated by the panoramic view of the whole New York, the strength of the man behind him, and the most expensive mansion in New York.

Even though she knew it shouldn't be done, her reason couldn't resist the appeal of her body at all.
