Chapter 133 BlackRock and other international capitals seek to invest in Sihai Sports
Tony Parker brought the French team to the conference room. Dirk Nowitzki stepped forward to hug him and say hello. The two exchanged a few words and quickly sat down to continue chatting with Yang Chen.
Tony Parker made the same request as Dirk Nowitzki, hoping that Yang Chen and the Sihai team would not hesitate to teach and let the French basketball team and athletes come over to learn.
Yang Chen said with a smile: "I just told Dirk that the Sihai team has an open training session. Anyone can come and watch. How well you can learn depends on your own efforts and talent."
Tony Parker said happily: "That's good, thank you Mr. Yang. If we want to send the team over to play a friendly match with the Sihai team, can Mr. Yang agree?"
Yang Chen smiled and nodded, saying: "Of course. As long as the opponent is not too weak, Team Sihai is willing to play a friendly match with any opponent."
Dirk Nowitzki also quickly said: "We also want to send a team to play against the Sihai team, and I hope Mr. Yang can agree."
Yang Chen laughed loudly and said: "Okay. I will welcome you to send more powerful teams."
At this time, Chen Xi came in again.
"Director Yang, Yao Daming is here with the LBA bosses. They want to talk to you in person." Chen Xi reported in a low voice.
Yang Chen nodded, then said with a smile: "Do you two still remember Yao Daming?"
Dirk Nowitzki said with a smile: "Of course I remember, we were old rivals back then! Is he here?"
Tony Parker also smiled and said: "I haven't seen him for a long time. Where is he?"
Yang Chen said to Chen Xi: "Ask Yao Daming to come here alone."
Chen Xi nodded and quickly called Yao Daming over.
When Yao Daming saw that his two old rivals, Dirk Nowitzki and Tony Parker, were there, he immediately happily opened his arms and hugged the two of them respectively.
When he learned that both Germany and France would send teams to play against the Sihai team, Yao Daming felt a little thumped in his heart.
Originally, Yang Chen was not willing to lead a rookie team like the LBA. Now that the NBA and European teams are taking turns to play games, the Sihai team has no worries about not having games to play, and the quality of the games they play is higher, so Yang Chen doesn't want to. Let the Sihai team join the LBA.
Yao Daming smiled and said: "Director Yang, I brought all the bosses of LBA here, let's talk."
Yang Chen replied: "There's nothing to talk about, I won't give in even half a step."
Yao Daming said quickly: "I didn't ask you to give in. I have almost finished talking to them. We just want to confirm with you in person."
Yang Chen nodded and said: "Okay. Dirk, Tony, you guys chat first, I'll be right back."
Dirk Nowitzki and Tony Parker quickly smiled and nodded.
Yang Chen and Yao Daming went out, and Yang Chen took Yao Daming and the LBA bosses to another reception room.
The owners of various clubs greeted Yang Chen, and Yang Chen responded politely.
Before Yao Daming could speak, the representative of the Bayi Team said: "I have something to announce. We have received an order from the leadership. The Bayi Team has officially withdrawn from the LBA, and the vacant spot will be given to the Sihai Team."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
The Bayi team is one of the most brilliant teams in the LBA. The only teams that can be compared with it are the Haicheng Sharks where Yao Daming played and the Hongyuan team in their peak period.
Moreover, the Bayi Team is a military team, and it actually voluntarily quits to make way for the Sihai Team?
Incredible!
Yao Daming quickly asked: "Why is it so sudden?"
The representative of the Bayi Team smiled and said: "The leader just called me and asked me to talk to Director Yang and everyone. We will issue an announcement later to announce that the Bayi Team will withdraw from the LBA and give up its seat to the Sihai Team. So, everyone Boss, don't worry about it, just let it be what Chairman Yang says. Everyone should have a higher level of ideological awareness, stop focusing on money, and also think about the development of Longguo's basketball career. Whoever is ignorant is the one who must enter the LBA. There will be trouble later.”
As soon as these words were said, what else did the club bosses say? There was no need to say anything, they didn't dare to say anything, they just nodded and accepted all the conditions offered by Yang Chen.
"Hongyuan has no objection!"
"Marco Polo has no objection!"
“No objection to Fenjiu!”
"Kendiya has no objection!"
……
On the way here, these club owners thought of a lot of things to say to Yang Chen, but now they don't even have the chance to say them out.
Yang Chen nodded and said: "The Bayi team has given up their seats to the Sihai team, so what else can I say? That's it. President Yao, you can do it yourself, I still have to entertain Germany and France. Delegation.”
Yao Daming quickly said: "Okay, okay. Director Yang is busy, don't worry about us."
Yang Chen stood up and smiled at everyone, then turned around and went out.
Yao Daming immediately said: "Dirk Nowitzki and Tony Parker led the team to learn from Dong Yang and the Sihai Team, and they also want to send the team to play against the Sihai Team. Oops, it's up to the Bayi Team to take action, otherwise you can do whatever you want If you ask for anything, Director Yang will definitely refuse. The Sihai team has NBA and European teams playing higher-quality games, so how can they be willing to enter the LBA?”
The bosses of the various companies didn't dare to speak anymore, as long as the Sihai team agreed to join the LBA.
evening.
The Bayi team issued an announcement.
The general content is that the original intention of forming the Bayi Team was to participate in the Military Games. Due to the special nature of the Bayi Team, athletes can only be active military personnel and cannot accept foreign aid, etc., which does not meet the current requirements for the professional development of the LBA.
After discussion with relevant leaders, it was decided that the Bayi team would withdraw from the NBA and its seats would be donated to the Sihai team for free.
As soon as this announcement came out, it instantly detonated the Internet.
No matter why the Bayi team withdrew from the LBA, netizens unanimously believed that the Bayi team was making room for the Sihai team.
"See, this is strength! The Bayi team has made room for the Sihai team, and the Sihai team is ridiculously strong."
"I'm still thinking about how Yao Daming will work to get the Sihai team into the LBA. I thought about making an exception and directly giving a quota to the Sihai team at a time. I really didn't expect that the Bayi team would withdraw and give up the quota."
"To be honest, Sihai Team is really unqualified for joining the LBA. It would be great if the NBA could add an overseas team. Let Sihai Team play in the NBA. Only then would it be worthy of the strength of Sihai Team. But we still have to give Bayi Team some points. Awesome, soldiers are different, they are noble and upright.”
……
The news that Sihai Team will succeed Bayi Team and enter the LBA has aroused the enthusiasm of major brands.
LBA’s current broadcast partners are mainly SunTV Sports Channel, Penguin Sports, and Migu Sports.
Stimulated by the news that Sihai Team has joined the LBA, platforms such as Douyin Sports, iQiyi Sports, Hupu Sports, Youku Video, and Bilibili rushed to contact the LBA League Office to inquire about broadcast matters.
LBA currently only has one sporting goods sponsor, Lining. As soon as the news came out that Sihai Team took over Bayi Team and joined LBA, Taan, Special Division, Pique, 361, Jordan, Hongxing Ake, Under Armor, Adidas, A series of well-known domestic and foreign brands such as Nike and Puma have contacted the LBA Alliance to inquire about sponsorship matters.
In addition, major insurance brands such as Ping An Insurance and China Pacific Insurance, as well as automobile brands such as Geely, Bivadi, Ideal, and NIO, have also inquired about sponsorship matters.
There are also companies from various industries such as banks, lubricants, sports, technology, and the Internet, all of which are inquiring about sponsorship matters.
This is the strength of Sihai Team. One piece of news can attract so many brands vying to cooperate with LBA.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, and to confirm the news of Sihai Team joining the LBA as soon as possible and facilitate the LBA League to negotiate sponsorship fees with sponsors, Yao Daming ordered the league office to send a signing team overnight to discuss with Sihai Sports the specific matters of Sihai Team joining the LBA.
The two parties talked all night and all morning, and finally finalized the contract, signed and sealed it, and it took effect immediately.
The main contents are as follows:
First, Sihai Sports agreed that Sihai Basketball Club would join the LBA and officially compete in the LBA.
Second, as long as the Sihai Team does not withdraw from the LBA, 50% of all LBA revenue must be divided first to Sihai Sports. When it comes to dividends, allocations, etc., the Sihai Team will still divide 50% first, and the rest can be divided among other clubs. .
Third, as long as the Sihai team does not withdraw from the LBA, LBA games will advertise Sihai Bingquan and Sihai Sports for free.
Fourth, during the period when the Sihai team participates in the LBA league, they can decide whether to play games with teams outside the league. All profits will belong to Sihai Sports. The LBA is not allowed to interfere and has no right to distribute dividends.
Fifth, Sihai Team has the right to unilaterally sign contracts with cooperative brands, and the revenue generated does not need to be handed over to the LBA, and belongs entirely to Sihai Sports.
Sixth, Sihai Sports agreed that the Sihai Basketball Team would become the national team and promised to win the AFC Champions League and strive to win the World Cup and Olympic Games championships.
……
It’s no wonder that the bosses were reluctant at first. They probably didn’t dare to impose such conditions on the unequal treaties that the great powers asked the Manchus to sign.
To briefly summarize, the Sihai Basketball Team is not bound by the LBA. All rights and interests belong to Sihai Sports, and more than half of the money earned by the LBA belongs to the Sihai Team.
At first glance, it seems that the LBA is even more cowardly than the Manchu government. The LBA Alliance signed a letter that Li Hongzhang did not dare to sign when he came. However, if you calculate it carefully, you will know that the LBA and the owners of various clubs have made a lot of money.
Take sports shoe brand sponsorship for example. In the past, only Lining sponsored LBA. Now, a series of domestic and foreign brands such as Nike, Adidas, and Taan want to sponsor. How much sponsorship fee will be charged? In the past, car companies such as Geely, Bivadi, Ideal, and Weilai did not even look at LBA. Now they are all vying for cooperation. How much more sponsorship fees will be charged?
Douyin Sports, Youku, iQiyi and other platforms have joined the broadcaster camp. How much more broadcast fees will be charged?
Therefore, after calculating this, the LBA league and various clubs will receive much more money than they do now, and they will still make a lot of money.
At ten o'clock, LBA and Sihai Sports simultaneously issued announcements. Sihai Sports agreed that Sihai Basketball Club would take over the Bayi team's seat and officially compete in the LBA.
There is only so much content in the announcement, but it makes basketball fans and brand owners excited. Fans can watch the Sihai team's enjoyable games every night, and brand owners can get a lot of exposure by sponsoring LBA.
Seeing that the Sihai team has single-handedly brought the LBA to a new height and has already made crazy money before the new season has started, Xiao Hua and the bosses of various NBA clubs are jealous.
Because of the inappropriate remarks of a certain team manager, the NBA's presence in the Dragon Kingdom is getting weaker and weaker. Many old fans who have watched football for many years no longer watch NBA games. Only some students and young people still watch NBA games.
Now that the Sihai Team has emerged, Dragon Country fans will pay more attention to the Sihai Team and the LBA in the future, and attention to the NBA will continue to decline. This means that the NBA's presence in the Dragon Country will continue to weaken until no one talks about it.
The market in Dragon Kingdom is huge. Before the incident, broadcasters and sponsors could send billions to the NBA every year. Xiao Hua could not just let go of such a large market.
Therefore, Xiao Hua had a bold idea. The NBA signed a contract with Sihai Sports, and the two parties agreed that it would become a regular event for the NBA to send a team to play games with Sihai Sports every summer offseason.
The NBA does not want tickets and other revenue, as long as it allows the NBA's official partner broadcasters to broadcast the game.
In this way, the NBA can stabilize its exposure in the Dragon Kingdom and bring more exposure to its sponsors. The NBA can ask for higher sponsorship fees from sponsors and higher broadcast fees from broadcasters. fee.
After playing for a long time with the rookies in the LBA, the Sihai team's strength will gradually deteriorate. They still need to play against high-quality teams to maintain their strength.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Moreover, Yang Chen’s goal is not only to dominate the LBA, he also wants the Sihai team to represent the national team and win the World Cup and Olympic championships. Playing games with NBA teams every year can not only exercise, but also understand the technical characteristics and tactics of NBA players. Helps beat them in the international arena.
Therefore, when Yang Chen heard Xiao Hua's suggestion, he immediately agreed.
About half an hour before the start of the game between the Sihai Team and the Lakers, Sihai Sports and the NBA issued an announcement.
"After friendly negotiation and full respect for the opinions of both parties, Sihai Sports and the NBA League have reached a cooperation agreement. Starting from July 2025, every year during the NBA and LBA offseasons, NBA teams will take turns coming to Longguo to play games with the Sihai team. The team will also play games at the NBA team's home court as appropriate. All the revenue generated from the national games will belong to Sihai Sports. The NBA only requires the cooperative broadcasters to broadcast the games at the NBA team’s home court. The NBA League and Sihai Sports will split the agreement 50-50 for 10 years. After the expiration, both parties will negotiate whether to renew the contract.”
Netizens who were waiting for the start of the game between the Sihai Team and the Lakers suddenly became happy again when they saw this announcement.
"I thought it was outrageous for LBA to sign an agreement that even Li Hongzhang didn't dare to sign. I didn't expect there to be something even more outrageous than LBA. Whose general is this, so brave, that he can sign such an agreement?"
"The Sihai team has really made a difference, and the Dragon Kingdom basketball has followed suit. Fans from other countries will soon be able to re-understand the true strength of the Dragon Kingdom basketball."
"This is just the last struggle of the NBA in the Dragon Kingdom. Seeing that fewer and fewer people are paying attention to the NBA, and the Sihai team has joined the LBA, the NBA is completely anxious, worried that the basketball market in the Dragon Kingdom will be completely attracted by the LBA. 1.4 billion people In the big market, they certainly can’t You just lost it, you still have to find a way to struggle. You think the NBA is losing money, but in fact they are making a lot of money. I ask you whether to watch the game between the Sihai team and the NBA team. As long as you watch it, the purpose of the NBA is. That’s it.”
……
While fans were still discussing the announcements from Sihai Sports and the NBA, the game between Sihai Team and the Lakers was over. In the end, Sihai Team relied on the excellent performance of 8 players in double figures to defeat the Lakers 132:118, even though LeBron James It doesn't help that he dreamed of returning to his peak and scoring 60 points.
Xiao Hua and the owners of various NBA clubs are numb. The NBA has lost 4 games in a row, and it really can't afford to lose this person.
The Sihai team had to play the Celtics in the afternoon, so they immediately left the game and went back to rest.
The Lakers stayed for interviews, and reporters surrounded LeBron James.
Reporter: LeBron, can you share your current mood?
James glanced at the reporter speechlessly, and then said helplessly: "Frankly speaking, I am in a bad mood now. I borrowed from God the me who played 20 years ago, and ended up losing so much. The Sihai team used their Damn it!”
Reporter: Davis, what do you think of Team Sihai’s performance?
Brother Nongmei replied: "They are so good at running, I can't keep up with their rhythm at all. But if I don't chase and defend, their center can shoot more accurately than Curry. I want to say sorry to my teammates, it's really not the case." I’m lazy really because they have so much physical strength.”
The gold content of Sihai Bingquan continues to rise. Brother Nongmei now realizes the helplessness Yao Daming felt when the Rockets played the Jazz in the playoffs when he faced Boozer and Okur. If he was slow, the opponent would dare to shoot and force the Rockets to Throw yourself to death.
Reporter: LeBron, do you think the Celtics can defend the Sihai team this afternoon?
James replied: "I desperately hope that the Celtics can defend the Sihai team. I will be a fan of the Celtics from now on. The NBA team really needs a victory. We really lose too much." ”
James's wish is good, but not every wish can be realized, and his wish failed.
At 5:30 in the afternoon, the Sihai team and the Celtics fought fiercely for two and a half hours, and it took an overtime to decide the winner. As a result, the Sihai team defeated the Celtics 120:116.
It can be seen that the Celtics did a good job defensively. After an overtime game, the Sihai team only scored 120 points.
but!
It's useless.
Team Sihai still won.
The NBA has lost five games in a row, and fans all over the world are stunned.
At this point, no one doubts that the NBA is giving up, because everyone can see that the players are working hard, as hard as playing in the NBA Finals.
All the pressure is now focused on the Warriors players, especially Curry. He must take a precise three-pointer to kill the Sihai team, otherwise the Warriors have no hope of winning.
To a certain extent, the Sihai team and the Warriors have exactly the same style. The difference is that every player on the Sihai team can be Curry, while the Warriors only have one Curry.
This game can be said to be highly anticipated, and fans all over the world are watching.
Xiao Hua and Yao Daming were sitting on the sidelines together. Yao Daming was smiling, while Xiao Hua was serious. Their expressions reflected their current moods.
This was destined to be an offensive battle. Both sides were symbolically defensive at the beginning. From the second quarter onwards, both sides stopped investing energy in defense. They put all their energy in offense, competing to see who could shoot better. allow.
There is no need to compare shots. Let alone the current Warriors team, even if the 73-win Warriors team comes, they can't beat the cheating Sihai team.
After two hours of fighting, the results came out.
The Sihai team narrowly defeated the Warriors 145:142, and the NBA's six-game losing streak ended this year's preseason.
The scores between the two sides were very close. The Sihai team had always been in control of the game, while the Warriors had been chasing points and were very passive.
Xiao Hua looked at the score with an expressionless face, his head still shaking slightly. He was unwilling to accept this fact. He even felt that fans all over the world were laughing at him. He pretended to dislike the Sihai team for being too low-priced. He spent a long time in the NBA. It is the party that loses price.
Yao Daming was very happy and his smile turned into an emoticon.
In the VIP box, Yang Chen was about to get up and leave when Dirk Nowitzki and Tony Parker came over.
"Mr. Yang, we have decided to sign a contract with you. We will also send a team to play against the Sihai team in the offseason. The Sihai team can also play at our home court. Whether it is playing in the Dragon Kingdom or in our country, All proceeds go to Sihai Team. We only have one request. Sihai Team must use all its skills and tactics to compete with us, and there must be no reservations. The agreement will be signed for five years, and we can negotiate whether to renew it after the expiration." Viski said.
Tony Parker followed up and said: "Me too!"
They feel that five years is enough time for their team to learn all the techniques and tactics of the Sihai team.
For Yang Chen, the purpose of forming a club is to play games and make money, so of course he must accept such an opportunity.
Anyway, there is a stamina-increasing liquid for the players to use, so there is no need to worry about their physical strength not being able to keep up, let alone worrying about them being injured due to fatigue.
Yang Chen smiled and said: "Yes! We welcome strong teams to come to us to play games."
Dirk Nowitzki said happily: "Then let's talk about the contract now. Once we've negotiated, we'll sign the contract."
Tony Parker followed up and said: "Yes! I have already communicated with my family, and I can make the decision to sign the contract. In addition, in order to express our sincerity, we will introduce several broadcasters such as Media Broadcast, Sky Sports, and Bein Media. Broadcast LBA games, as well as games between Sihai teams and teams outside the LBA.”
Yang Chen smiled and said: "Haha... Then I will thank you. Mr. Chen, you can talk to them."
Sihai Sports President Chen Yulong, who was watching the game with Yang Chen, quickly said: "Okay, Director Yang. I will follow up, you don't have to worry."
Yang Chen said goodbye to Nowitzki and Parker and went home to rest.
Chen Yulong invited Nowitzki and Parker to go to Sihai Sports with him to discuss specific cooperation details.
News of the NBA's six-game losing streak spread to the outside world, and foreign netizens "clicked" to break the defense.
South Korean netizen Kim Jae-seok: The NBA is really out of control! So many powerful teams participated, but they were all defeated by the Sihai team. I watched the game video, and there was nothing impressive about the Sihai team. Why couldn't they beat them?
Yoshizawa, a netizen from Sakura Country: Don’t be embarrassed, Bangzi. Can you understand the game? The Sihai team's shooting is ridiculously accurate. Whenever they are given an opportunity to take an open shot, everyone will shoot with certainty. In the last game against the Warriors, the two sides faced off, and the Warriors kept chasing points, which shows how strong the Sihai team's offensive ability is.
Bald Eagle netizen Duncan: I have no hope at all in the NBA. If I can't beat it, forget it. I still signed such a shameful agreement and waited to be laughed at by fans around the world. Fortunately we still have football, baseball, and golf. As we all know, the NBA is the weakest among the four major sports leagues. The money earned in one Super Bowl game is enough for the NBA to make a year. Yang Chen has the ability to form a rugby team to compete with us. If they can win even one game, I will live broadcast and shoot on the streets with an AK!
German netizen: I heard that Dirk has led the team to discuss cooperation with the Sihai Team. I hope our country’s basketball players can learn the skills and tactics of the Sihai Team. The Sihai Team’s style of play is suitable for European teams, and the NBA’s style of play is not suitable for us. .
French netizen: Tony Parker also led the team to discuss cooperation with the Sihai team. I remember that the Dragon Country team tried every means to learn the European style of play. They felt that the European style of play was suitable for them, and the NBA style of play was not suitable for them. Now it's completely reversed. It's European basketball's turn to learn from Dragon Country basketball. Yang Chen is really capable, one person can turn around the situation in a field.
……
At this time, international capitals such as BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, Goldman Sachs, Morgan, and Citigroup saw the unlimited prospects of Sihai Sports. They wanted to invest in Sihai Sports and wait for Sihai Sports to go public and cash out to make a fortune.
As a result, various capital bosses immediately rushed to Longguo Jiangcheng, scrambling to interview Yang Chen about investing in Sihai Sports.
