Chapter 814 The Front Foot Stirs up Chaos, but the Backhand Calms Down

Before talking to Trenches, Li Changheng did intend to ask Inspector McKenna of the Upper Manhattan Police Department to arrest people.

Of course, after the arrest, even if there are really problems with the Knicks' black uncle players, they will be released due to insufficient evidence in the end.

So as not to really make a big trouble.

The method is very simple. It is only necessary that when arresting people, the police in the upper city did not say the phrase "You have the right to remain silent, but every word you say will become evidence in court."

Lawyers can easily invalidate any evidence the police find.

But this is indeed very risky, so Li Changheng himself feels that this plan is not very reliable.

After listening to the trenches, the meritorious players in the Knicks have the idea of ​​​​retiring.

The second option immediately comes to mind.

Don't look at the market value of the Knicks in 2020, billions of dollars.

But in 2005, the Knicks were only around 50 million US dollars, not to mention that it was only in the 1970s at this time, and the popularity of basketball, even four, may not be able to keep it.

The first must be football, and the second is baseball. There is no problem at all.

Ice hockey ranks fourth, maybe basketball fans don't agree, but because of Ali's existence, boxing is definitely more popular than basketball in the United States at this time.

Therefore, if you want to buy the Knicks, 30 to 5 million may not be an agreement, but 7 million is definitely enough.

Moreover, Madison Square Garden belongs to Occidental Petroleum Corporation at this time. As long as Li Changheng is willing to negotiate, Madison Square Garden may be bought for only 20 million US dollars.

And Trenches welcomed Li Changheng's idea of ​​buying the Knicks with him with both hands and feet.

After telling the trenches that the flour was hidden in the attic, the helicopter flew back to the estate, and a call was made to New York Senate Volunteer Noel Parade.

Every ten minutes, Noel called back and said, "Henry, with 6 million US dollars, plus the investment share of 3 million US dollars in the four-year period of the fund you established in Citigroup, the Knicks is yours."

Li Changheng agreed without thinking too much.

6 million US dollars plus 4 years of investment share of 3 million, equal to about 8 million.

But the fund was originally a tool used by Li Changheng to win over the upper class, and it was the same for him to anyone.

First, I made a call to Randall Hearst of the media group, and dozens of reporters could set off as soon as they received the order.

Afterwards, a deposit of 3 million U.S. dollars was sent by Citigroup, and a team of lawyers was dispatched. The Knicks' manager, management team and coaches learned that Li Changheng was the one who bought the team.

Even if the contract has not yet been drawn up, and the negotiation has only just begun, everyone understands that since Li Changheng's 3 million deposit has been received.

Not only did the team not pay enough to repent, but it would also offend the helm of a consortium.

Therefore, the management team did not dare to carry out Li Changheng's order without the slightest hesitation.

The two black uncles who made great contributions to the Knicks' championship in the 69-70 season and 72-73 season received a notice from the team to trade them unexpectedly.

Although these two people already want to retire, but their own retirement is a beginning and an end. In the end, they will definitely become the Knicks' meritorious service and enter the Hall of Fame.

But if it was traded out, it would be a betrayal.

The two were planning to go back to the team to speak, but they didn't expect to be blocked by a group of reporters as soon as they left home, and there was a live broadcast car waiting not far away.

As long as there is an opening to express dissatisfaction with the Knicks, interview videos will soon appear on TV.

The broadcast belonging to the media group spread the news to the whole of New York at the first time, and then broadcast it to the whole of the United States.

Moreover, while countless black uncles were angry, on the radio and TV, the hosts were intentionally or unintentionally standing on the side of the two Knicks players who were about to be kicked out.

Then, the people under Lao Tu selected a few communities with the most Knicks fans, and initiated a proposal to go to the Garden Square to support the players.

In an instant, many fans were moved, and they really rushed to Manhattan Island.

Of course, the place where the Lucas family hid flour became the focus of attention.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, not only the stadium lost at least half of the people, but also many people left in the nearby residential buildings.

After Li Changheng heard the report from the trenches, he felt that it was not enough, so he simply asked the lawyer to meet the Knicks manager with the new contract.

In front of the live camera, it was a misunderstanding to say everything.

But this guy said something in the interview that suggested that the team owner's financial situation is not good.

Then he promised with an excited expression that the Knicks will definitely be the best team in the future.

The last sentence, under the deliberate guidance of the media, was interpreted as nonsense.

Then there was an explanation that the team compromised for fear of losing fans.

The manager broke the news about the boss's economic situation, which was also interpreted by the media as a victory for the brainless and the fans.

But what countless people don't know is that the manager is actually very satisfied with the new four-year contract.

The real helm of American basketball is not the coach, but the team manager.

In the new contract, there is a clause that the team will fire him for breach of contract and will compensate 400,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to giving him reassurance.

And since he can win the championship twice within 3 years, his ability is no problem.

With the support of a big boss like Li Changheng, it might take a few years to create a golden second generation.

Countless black uncles were guided by TV and radio, and instantly felt that Nix's compromise must have something to do with his support.

Subsequently, reporters from the media group across the United States quickly interviewed dozens of Uncle Hei players from other teams.

Selected a few videos with big mouths, but were led to talk nonsense by reporters, and appeared on TV and radio.

An activity to accompany the players to negotiate with the team quickly made the New York police feel like an enemy.

However, countless black uncles are angry or excited when they appear in Midtown Manhattan.

Before the commotion started, two helicopters were found landing from the sky one after the other.

I don't know who is sharp-eyed.

Suddenly someone in the crowd screamed, "God, that's Henry Lee."

After a while, countless eyes, camera lenses, and live broadcast footage were all directed at Li Changheng who was waving to the crowd.

Screams and shouts instantly spread around the stadium.

After the news spread, the people around the square garden were shocked, not to mention making trouble, and immediately forgot the purpose of everyone coming here.

On the contrary, he was pleasantly surprised and thought as if he understood, no wonder the team manager dared to disclose the boss's financial situation, and publicly stated that the team would soon usher in new glory.

The reason why the two players were traded was also attributed by fans and the media to the fact that the team owner wanted to make some money on the players before buying the team.

A protest that was likely to cause big trouble, after Li Changheng appeared publicly, became a witness for fans to witness his stay in the Knicks.

The situation in Manhattan has stabilized, but around the building where the Lucas family hid the flour, there was a sudden power outage in a large area.
