Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 279 199【Appear】

"Unlike many young people who have just made some achievements, it can be seen that Bayonet is a child who is extremely strict with himself and has obvious plans for the future. His move to sell Juventus shares after the sale made me see LeBron in his youth. "Shadow of James"

The famous ESPN commentator Jeff Van Gundy said so emotionally on his Twitter.

People certainly understand what Jeff Van Gundy means by saying this.

After all, LeBron James should be the representative of NBA players' acquisition of shares in football clubs.

Because many years ago, LeBron James acquired the shares of the old-school Premier League powerhouse Liverpool and became the small boss of the "Red Army".

James' relationship with Liverpool began in 2011, thanks to his friendship with the Reds' parent company, Fenway Sports Group.At the time, James, who was playing for the Miami Heat, formed a partnership with Fenway, which became his primary marketing agent.As part of the deal, James acquired a small stake in Liverpool.

This incident caused a great sensation at the time. When the news was announced, "Little Emperor" said: "I am very excited to cooperate with (Fenway founders) John Henry and Tom Wallner. Like me Again, these guys are passionate about sports. You can see their drive and their commitment to their teams. For me, that’s dealing with a group of people who love sports as much as I do.”

James then compared Liverpool to the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Yankees, but to the annoyance of Reds fans, he also mentioned Liverpool's bitter rivals Manchester United.He told the Guardian: "A team with such a great history always has potential. Liverpool is definitely one of those teams. They are really like Manchester United, as well as the Dallas Cowboys and the New York Yankees. .There are always teams in the world where wherever you are you just see their logo and you know who they are and what they stand for. I think Liverpool is one of them."

So James, who bought Liverpool shares with US$650 million, has now earned much money from this investment?

According to reports, James holds a 2% stake in Liverpool.While it might not seem like much, it turned out to be another savvy investment from him. In 2011, when James first became a minority shareholder in Liverpool, the 2% stake was worth around $650m (£490m).But as Liverpool's market value continues to increase, the value of these shares has also multiplied several times.

According to ESPN, James' stake in Liverpool is now worth $3200 million (£2400 million). In 8 years, the initial investment has increased by 5 times.Liverpool's value has been steadily rising thanks to their performances on the pitch.Reaching the Champions League final last season was an important boost.Lost to Real Madrid, the Merseyside side have been worth £19bn (£14bn) on the Forbes list, putting them in the top ten most valuable clubs in world football.

Juventus' influence in international football is not weaker than that of Liverpool. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, the moment Juventus decides to make Jiang Hao a part of the stockholders, it means that Jiang Hao This investment is basically a steady profit.

Because there is a very shrewd thing involved in it, and it is also the fundamental reason why Juventus is unexpectedly willing to accept Jiang Hao's acquisition.

That is, Jiang Hao is not only an NBA superstar, he is also a Chinese, a very influential sports star in China.

Then when Jiang Hao becomes one of the bosses of Juventus, this will definitely make Juventus the biggest enjoyment of the cake in the huge Chinese market.

To give a simple example, if the Dallas Mavericks are the national team of Chinese basketball fans in the NBA, then Juventus is very likely to become the national team of Chinese football fans in European football.

It is really hard to imagine how much benefit Juventus can get from it.

A week after announcing that he became the small boss of Juventus, Jiang Hao suddenly appeared at the Juventus Arena, home of Juventus, and watched Juventus's UEFA Champions League match this year.

The nba regular season has come to an end. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Jiang Hao to appear at Juventus' home court at this time.

So why is he still showing up?

This starts with a game three days ago. To put it simply, Jiang Hao was injured in the game and he had to rest for two games. Therefore, he happened to come to Juventus' home court during this time.

Of course, this is also the arrangement of Juventus. The appearance of Jiang Hao is bound to further increase the attention of Juventus.

In the VIP seats at the scene, accompanying Jiang Hao to watch the game was Rapo Erkan, the current heir of the real big boss behind Juventus, the Agnelli family.

From this point, it can be seen that Juventus attaches great importance to the cooperation with Jiang Hao.

After all, the Agnelli family is a household name in Italy, and Lapo Elkann is a guy who can call the wind and rain. He can take the initiative to accompany Jiang Hao, which is already a very good treatment for Jiang Hao.

In the end, Juventus, sitting at home, won the game easily.

After the game, Rapo Elkann and Jiang Hao visited the Juventus locker room together.

"CR7, nice to meet you"

In the locker room, Jiang Hao met Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the peerless football stars.

For Jiang Hao, he is a basketball player, but this does not prevent him from loving football too. In the entire football world, the football player he admires the most is Cristiano Ronaldo. He regards Ronaldo as his idol. definition.

It's just that Jiang Hao himself didn't expect that one day, he would become the idol's boss.

"Jiang, nice to meet you, your dunk is really cool"

It can be seen that Ronaldo has also heard about Jiang Hao, an nba superstar.

Finally, when leaving, Ronaldo gave Jiang Hao a signed jersey with great intentions, and told Jiang Hao that if he had the opportunity, he would come to the Dallas Mavericks home court to watch Jiang Hao's game.

The big boss of Juventus, Rapo Elkann, smiled throughout the whole process. The family has been in charge of Juventus for so many years. In his generation, I am afraid that it will really usher in a rise.

The joining of Ronaldo a year ago has brought unimaginable benefits to the team, making Juventus the top giants in the true sense of football. This is the superstar effect.

And now that Jiang Hao has become the small owner of the team, he is afraid that the interests of your team will be further improved. To be honest, Lapo Elkann can't wait for the latest team market value list.
