Chapter 334 The Knicks Change Owners!
Gatsby continued: "And active players are not allowed to hold shares in the team. Even if I want to buy it, I can't touch it!"

James Dolan laughed: "That's not a problem, just find an agent."

Gatsby laughed, "That's a good idea."

James Dolan was overjoyed: "Are you willing to exchange?"

Gatsby nodded and said, "It can be exchanged, but it must not be traded according to the share you said, and I will suffer too much."

James Dolan thought for a while and said, "Let's make an offer."

Gatsby squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "According to the valuation, the Knicks are now worth 10 billion US dollars, and they can get 5% of Uber's shares in exchange."

James Dolan shook his head: "Uber's assets are too risky, and 5% of its shares are too small."

Gatsby smiled and said: "The risk is relative, but the returns are scary. You don't have to hold it for 10 years. I estimate that Uber will appreciate to 300 billion U.S. dollars by the end of next year, and you can earn 5 million yuan by then." , It will appreciate to 500 billion in two years, you will earn 15 billion US dollars, if you dare to hold it for 10 years, your profit will rise to 45 billion US dollars, James, you have earned a lot!"

James Dolan’s heart was filled with huge waves. This prediction was similar to the report given by his financial planner. He ignored the playoffs and rushed to find Gatsby because Uber’s momentum was too strong. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Uber is about to soar into the sky, and with Uber's model, it is almost impossible to be frustrated in a short period of time. The key is Uber's team. Knocked down in a crisis, it is foreseeable that Uber will become one of the oligopoly companies in the United States.

James Dolan was actually satisfied, but he wanted more. He shook his head and said, "The Knicks will be worth $20 billion after winning the championship. I think at least 12% of your shares must be replaced."

Gatsby laughed: "How about we wait until the offseason to discuss this matter?"

James Dolan panicked, hell, now there are not 12 or 12 people in the United States who are staring at Gatsby's shares. When it comes to the offseason, with Uber's appreciation rate, the shares will be reduced again. , James Dolan has been in business for so long, of course he knows what is the most important thing, if you buy the Knicks with [-] billion US dollars, James Dolan will not even look at it, but if you take Uber shares worth [-] billion now Buy, James Dolan can't wait for it.

James Dolan has long been tired of running the Knicks. Since he took over, there has been no good time, oh, except after Gatsby came, he felt that he worked hard to run the team and was always scolded by the fans. If it wasn't for the money, James Dolan would have sold it long ago!
James Dolan is still not satisfied: "At least 10%, no less!"

Gatsby shook his head: "Give you 6%, and it will be worth 60 billion in ten years!"

James Dolan shouted: "9%! If it's less than that, just pretend I didn't mention it today."

Gatsby looked at James Dolan in surprise, Gatsby stood up, and James Dolan panicked: "Paralysis, I'm just talking casually, don't lift the table!"

Gatsby reached for the cigar James Dolan put on the table, cut it open and toasted it, lit it and took a big puff before opening his mouth. James Dolan felt his back was a little wet.

"James, I like basketball. I can play basketball for 20 years now, and then I can be a coach for 30 years, or even a general manager. I don't have to pay so much to buy a team to play. With my current strength, As long as An An plays for 20 years with peace of mind, there should be no problem with the top ten superstars in history, why do I need to spend so much money to sell the team?" Gatsby laughed so that James Dolan felt guilty.

"James, how about this, I'll give you 8%. If it's okay, I'll let the shares rise in value. If you have money, no team can buy it. The small ball market is the small ball market. If I have money, I can spend it!"

James Dolan didn't hesitate any longer: "Okay, then 8%!"

Gatsby smiled and said: "Okay, I'll ask Ren to contact your men. Is there no problem with the alliance?"

James Dolan said with a smile: "Stern has been upset with me for a long time. He is the happiest person I can get out of. As long as I submit it, I am afraid that he will be the most positive."

Gatsby smiled and nodded, feeling very excited.

After Gatsby returned, he called Long Xiaoman.

"Xiao Man, do you have time? I'll treat you to coffee." Gatsby laughed.

Long Xiaoman on the other end of the phone smiled happily: "You're so busy, just forget about me. Just tell me where you are and I'll be there in a minute."

Gatsby smiled and said, "I'll go find you, the coffee shop downstairs."

Half an hour later, Gatsby and Long Xiaoman met at the coffee shop.

"What? You want to buy the Knicks?" Long Xiaoman was shocked.

Gatsby smiled and nodded: "I have shares in Uber, you know, James Dolan is very interested in him, he wants to exchange, I agreed."

Long Xiaoman asked anxiously: "How much do you need to change?"

"8%."

Long Xiaoman said anxiously: "You are crazy. Uber's value added is huge. You acquired it at a premium. You have lost at least 6 million US dollars!"

Gatsby shook his head: "Money can't buy a good heart. I just like basketball. It doesn't matter. Besides, after winning the championship, the Knicks will also appreciate in value."

Long Xiaoman said regretfully: "If you ask me to negotiate, you will definitely lose a lot of shares."

Gatsby smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I came to you to ask for your help."

Long Xiaoman's eyes were bright and beautiful: "Just tell me, I will definitely help you."

Gatsby couldn't bear the lightness in the little girl's eyes, and covered his expression with the gesture of drinking coffee: "I want to ask your father to act as an agent, I am an active player and cannot hold shares in the team. Just put it under your name."

The tenderness in the little girl's eyes was almost overflowing, and she was almost bursting with joy: He believes in me!He even wrote my name directly for a team worth more than one billion dollars. It is already a huge trust for someone to buy a house with several million dollars, and he didn't hesitate to put my name on it!

Long Xiaoman's nod was like pounding garlic.

Gai Cibi also felt tenderness in his heart: "Then you can contact Uncle Long, I don't know how to operate it, so it's up to you."

Long Xiaoman patted his chest, shaking a certain symmetry: "Leave it to me, I promise not to let you down!"

Gatsby nodded with a smile.

Facing the Pacers with no chance, Gatsby directly led the team to sweep the Pacers and became the first team to enter the second round. Just after the first round, the Knicks quietly completed the work of changing owners , When the news was disclosed, the entire league was in an uproar. Unexpectedly, James Dolan sold the team when he was expected to win the championship. Everyone can also understand that the Knicks' valuation is only 20 billion US dollars, and it is a good deal to sell at a premium of double the price.
