I Am a Nobleman in England

Remember in a second【】

After signing the employment contract and having lunch, before Myers left, Arthur said to Bob Myers: "Two days later, the league will convene a meeting of all team owners to discuss the final decision on my entry into the Nets." , Let’s go through the motions, you and I will go to participate together, that is to say, you still have two days to form your main management team. The initial number does not need to be too many, but you must also ensure that I can successfully take over the Nets !"

"Good boss, no problem." At this moment, Miles, who has won the position of general manager with an annual salary of one million, still has not calmed down. For him, everything that happened in the past two days feels like Falling dream, happiness really came too suddenly!

Arthur smiled and nodded, and personally sent Miles out. Looking at the back of the other party, with a bright smile on his face, he murmured: "Let your magic crush all doubts and ridicule!"

However, thinking that once the news is announced, he, the earl from England, will definitely face overwhelming scenes of cynicism, and he can't help shaking his head and laughing. In his eyes, it is a big gamble, but from the outside world, he is undoubtedly from the UK. fool aristocrats.

Fortunately, Arthur didn't care. How hard he was trampled by the media now, what a legend it would be when the Nets showed their results!

Once people get busy, time flies. In these two days, in order to avoid long nights and dreams and new variables, the first thing Arthur did was to complete the deal with the owner of the Nets, Labrus, and bought it for 200 million US dollars. He bought 80% of the shares of the New Jersey Nets and 45% of the ownership of Barclays Arena.

On the last day of April 2010, a harmonious and harmonious meeting scene was being staged in the conference room of the "Olympic Tower" building at 645 Fifth Avenue in New York.

"I have no opinion..."

"I agree."

. . . . . .

"Since all members have passed, congratulations, Mr. Arthur Bolling, welcome to join the big family of the NBA..."

At the head of the conference table, David Stern stood up with a warm smile on his face, announced the result of the vote, and warmly held Arthur's hand.

To be honest, David Stern valued Arthur, the earl of England, joining the NBA league more than the local tycoon of Xiong Country. This was not only the difference in status between the two, but more importantly, the Expand the nba's influence in the UK.

A league team owned by the British will definitely open the door to the British Isles, which has been struggling to increase the influence of the league!

No one can ignore the home team effect,

Just look at Tianchao Yao and you will know how powerful the home team's sustenance effect is!

"Thank you, thank you President, thank you for the league..." Arthur smiled happily and thanked happily, and then he shook hands with the owners of every league team.

Next, the NBA officially announced that the acquisition of the Nets by British billionaire Arthur Bolling has been approved. In this way, the Nets, the worst-ranked team in the regular season, finally achieved a "reign change".

"Ka-Ka-Ka-"

At the official nba press conference, a well-fitting high-end suit made his originally burly figure even taller. No matter how flashy the flashlights were, he always had a faint and elegant smile on his face, and his eyes were bright. Below, confident and calm.

"Thank you, thank you to the league, thank you to President Stern, and thank you to all the team owners in the league. It is my honor to join the big family of the NBA."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Arthur began to thank the people who helped him when he joined the Nets. Although these help were just favors, Arthur, as a dragon, knew better than anyone that if he wanted to play in the NBA, he wanted to In the United States, where New York made a big splash, he needed to lower his profile and build his own network of relationships.

You know, it is really not that easy to really play the nba, and spending money may not necessarily lead to a championship!

"Before I acquired the Nets, I heard many stories about the Nets, saying that many things that happened to the Nets usually ended in a tragic way, saying that no matter what expectations or expectations I had, in the end Will stay away from this team, always with disappointment and frustration."

"hehe..."

After Arthur finished speaking, whether it was on stage or off stage, there was a burst of light laughter, some teasing, some sarcasm, representing various meanings.

Arthur also shook his head and laughed, but the smile disappeared quickly, and he became serious and solemn, and said with great confidence: "Now I am here, with hope, with vitality, and with the heart of a championship. . . ”

"Ka Ka Ka -"

Arthur's powerful and confident declaration immediately made the laughter disappear, and the audience stared at him with scorching eyes, wanting to hear what kind of powerful words this young and energetic British earl would say, the flashlights flashed into took a slice.

"Here, I want to tell the management of the Nets and all the fans that my goal is not to win a championship in a certain year..." Arthur continued with a confident and domineering smile, "what I want It is to create a dynasty, although it does not win the championship every year, but at least it is a strong contender for the championship every year."

"Ka Ka Ka -"

Arthur's bold words did not shock the reporters present. On the contrary, they all smiled and looked at the young earl with bright eyes. Witness a big fall.

Arthur didn't care at all about those malicious eyes from the audience, but directly

^0^ Remember in a second【】

Stretch to everyone and introduce Bob Myers to the side.

"... to that end, I brought in a new general manager for the Nets, Bob Myers, who had all the attributes we picked, including professionalism, great relationships with the league, players and agents, and strong communication skills."

Speaking of this, Arthur paused again, pointing to another subordinate, "...he will be the best partner for our new coach Avery Johnson. More importantly, Bob is ambitious, he Wanting to win, that's how I felt when we met, and it was a major factor in how he ended up winning."

"Wow—"

There was an uproar in the audience.

Arthur's bold words before just made the reporters feel that there was a good show to watch, and maybe they also had expectations for the future of the Nets, but now, everyone is looking at the stage with a foolish look. young earl.

"Rod Thorn is a legend in the NBA," Arthur ignored the eyes looking at him, and he didn't care about the uproar at the scene, but continued, "He made his greatest contribution to the Nets. A good friend of the team forever, I bless him!

The leadership qualities of new coach Johnson, his knowledge of the game and ability to bring out the full potential of his players will drive us forward. Arthur looked around the stage for the next week, and made the final summary with a smile, "This is the beginning of everything, and there will be many exciting things to be announced before the regular season. "

"Mr. Boleyn, may I ask..."

"Mr Boleyn..."

As soon as Arthur stopped speaking, the reporters in the audience began to ask questions loudly like a frying pan. The scene was chaotic, but Arthur remained unmoved from the beginning to the end. Instead, he smiled and his face was reddish, his eyes were extremely bright, and he seemed a little excited Bob Myers motioned for him to say a few words.

"...I want to thank Mr. Arthur Bolling and the Nets Board of Directors for this meeting. Johnson is an outstanding coach. I am very excited to be associated with such an outstanding young coach. Our main goal in the future is to develop With young players, cap space, and great rookies, our ultimate goal is to build a championship-caliber team!"

Facing the somewhat flustered scene, Myers did not panic, but began to talk with a confident smile. For Miles, his new general manager has a lot of pressure. During Thorn's tenure, the Nets have reached the Finals twice and won the Atlantic Division championship four times.

Then the head coach Johnson himself is quite happy to be able to coach the Nets. "The future of the Nets is very broad, and I am very excited to be part of their future rise plan. We are going to play harder, become tougher in defense, and distribute the ball better in offense. In this year's season In the pre-match training camp, we will lay a solid foundation for the future..."

Seeing the uproar and noise in the audience, David Stern chuckled and said to Arthur beside him, "You're taking a big gamble."

Arthur shook his head and chuckled, and said confidently, "I like to acquire cheap non-performing assets, and managing them well gives me a sense of accomplishment. In fact, at the beginning of the acquisition, I also considered a lot. It is not an easy task, but I have enough patience to wait and operate, and I believe that the decisions I make now will definitely bring me the best returns in the future.”

"Hehe, good luck to you then!" David Stern said with a warm smile.

"Thanks!"

The press conference was over, and just as Arthur expected, there was an uproar in New York and the United States, and the United Kingdom on the other side of the Atlantic even made overwhelming reports.

"A rich and stupid English earl!"

"The gamble of young nobles!"

"Crazy Brits!"

"Is it the savior, or the madman..."

"The future of the Nets is dark!"

. . . . . .

All kinds of reports were overwhelming, and Arthur was completely reduced to a fool and a lunatic that the American media rushed to report.

However, in these negative reports, the entry of Arthur, an ambitious young rich man, gave the New Jersey fans who had a poor record at the time a shot in the arm. Is the New Jersey Nets expected to become the "Chelsea" of the NBA? Thinking about it makes me happy, under the wise leadership of the boss, the general manager. . . What's his name, forget it, whatever his name is, he's ready to do a big fight.

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
