Chapter 1761 Negotiating the sale of the team
The next day.

Through Dixon's connection, Ye Feng contacted Schultz, the owner of Starbucks and the Sonics, and went to his home at Schultz's invitation.

Since this time he was going to Schultz's home, which was different from other places, Ye Feng didn't bring too many people with him. Only he, Wen Yueqi and Dixon came.

After Schultz knew that Ye Feng was coming, he had been waiting at home early in the morning. Although he and Ye Feng did not know each other personally, after all, Ye Feng was the most famous person in the world in the past half month, whether it was the acquisition of Hilton Hotels. , or the publicity for Lanshan Company's roadshow to go public in the United States, all of which have brought a lot of legend to this particularly young Chinese, and Ye Feng's net worth is conservatively estimated to be around 300 billion U.S. dollars, a very scary number, and Last year’s Forbes list of the world’s richest people, No. 4 and No. 5, were only worth about US$300 billion.

It wasn't until No. 3, Mexico's telecom king, Los Slim Helu, with $490 billion, that he could equal Ye Feng's net worth.

As for No. 2 and No. 1, they are Buffett, who has a fortune of US$520 billion, and Bill Gates, who has a fortune of US$560 billion.

But how old is Ye Feng?
He is still under 30 years old, but now he has enough wealth to enter the top five richest people in the world. I have to say that this is a very amazing thing.

Therefore, when Schultz knew that Ye Feng wanted to meet him, he did not choose the place to meet at the company, but at home. This is unimaginable to ordinary people, because Schultz always chooses to treat himself in front of the media. He keeps silent about his private life, and he won't bring anyone into his home easily.

Schultz was very enthusiastic when he met Ye Feng and Wen Yueqi. When he came up, he shook hands with Ye Feng and others warmly, and invited Ye Feng and others to visit their home.

Schultz's house is an apartment of nearly 600 square meters.

The scenery is very good.

There is a large yard and a special basketball court in the backyard. Standing upstairs, you can overlook Lake Washington. Most of the people living nearby are wealthy people from Seattle, and luxury homes are popping up in endlessly.

While Schultz was showing Ye Feng and others around his home, he was also observing Ye Feng. He was a young man who was very easy-going to get along with, but he seemed to be such an easy-going person, but he had a net worth of about 300 billion U.S. dollars. I have to say It’s amazing. It’s not difficult to figure out that Ye Feng’s net worth is around US$300 billion. This time, the total share capital of Lanshan Company listed in the United States is 3.75 million shares, and the issue price per share is US$45. In total, it is US$180 billion. market capitalization.

In addition, after Ye Feng’s 40% stake in fcaebook was once again exposed by the media, fcaebook’s valuation increased by US$30 billion due to Ye Feng’s shareholding, and it also had a valuation of US$180 billion, with a 40% shareholding. , which is a value of about US$72 billion.

This is equivalent to a net worth of nearly 250 billion US dollars.

In addition, Maple Leaf Fund, which previously acquired the Hilton Hotel Group for US$240 billion, is also the founder. Although Maple Leaf Fund currently discloses less than US$60 billion in management funds, Maple Leaf Fund can rely on its own less than US$60 billion to freely The amount of funds leveraged 200 billion U.S. dollars in financing loans. Schultz would not just treat Maple Leaf Fund as 60 billion U.S. dollars, so he calculated 50 billion U.S. dollars in Maple Leaf Fund for Ye Feng.

In this way, Ye Feng has a net worth of almost 300 billion US dollars.

A very scary number.

Schultz and Ye Feng got along for a while, but couldn't see through Ye Feng's reality. In the end, he could only regard Ye Feng as a real-life, faceless investment genius. However, Schultz liked Ye Feng quite a lot. He was rich, but not as rich as he imagined. The kind that can last forever.

Go back to the reception room.

The reception room was simpler than expected and looked very comfortable. The reception table faced the beautiful scenery of Lake Washington. After Schultz invited Ye Feng, Wen Yueqi and Dixon to sit down, he asked, "What would you like to drink? Latte or cappuccino?" Dixon ordered a latte.

Wen Yueqi ordered a cup of cappuccino.

Ye Feng also wanted to order a cup of cappuccino, but the name sounded like something a girl would drink, so Ye Feng followed Dixon and ordered a cup of latte.

Schulz's reception room had a special distillation machine, fresh milk and various coffee tools. Soon, he made two cups of latte and a cup of cappuccino for Ye Feng and the others.

Ye Feng originally thought that latte was bitter coffee, but he didn't expect that latte was a mixture of coffee and milk. After adding some sugar on his own initiative, the bitterness of espresso combined with the taste of milk felt really good.

Schultz also made a cup of latte, looked at Ye Feng and started to talk, and asked: "Listen to Dixon, Mr. Ye, are you interested in my team?"

"Yes."

Ye Feng saw that Schultz came straight to the point and didn't hide anything. He nodded and said: "I personally like the sport of basketball, especially the highest basketball hall like the NBA. By chance, I heard Mr. Schultz You wanted to sell the Sonics, so you flew over immediately and wanted to talk to Mr. Schultz about the team."

Wen Yueqi, who used to be very powerful in New York, was sipping coffee at this moment, listening to Ye Feng and Schultz talking about the team. She was also very concerned about whether Ye Feng could successfully get the Supersonic ball from Schultz this time. The team bought Lai, but this time, she, Ye Feng and Dixon had already discussed it before coming.

Opened by Ye Feng.

Then Dixon negotiated the purchase of the team. She did not participate in it. Business negotiations have always been like this. Just one person can do the talking. It is very taboo for people to interrupt, so what do you think? With so many people around, who do you listen to and who can make the decision?

In addition, some words must be said by Dixon to be more appropriate, but what Ye Feng said was not very good.

After hearing this, Schultz pondered for a moment and said: "Basketball is also a sport I like, but Mr. Ye, you came a little late. I have reached an agreement to sell the team with Clayton Bennett. , decided to package and sell the Sonics and WNBA team Seattle Blizzard to him."

Ye Feng glanced at Dixon after hearing this.

Dixon put down his sip of latte, looked at Schultz and said, "I don't think you should sell the team to Clayton Bennett, Mr. Schultz."

Schultz knew Dixon and knew that he was the head of global capital markets at Citibank. When he heard what he said, he couldn't help but ask: "Why?"

“Because Clayton Bennett’s hometown is in Oklahoma, and the Professional Basketball Club LLC he founded is also in Oklahoma. According to the information I got, Clayton Bennett is in The first thing you do when you buy the Sonics is move the Sonics to Oklahoma."

Dickerson looked at Schultz and asked the key sentence: "I believe Mr. Schultz's original intention to sell the team was not to let the Sonics leave Seattle and go to Oklahoma, right?"
