Recast youth

Chapter 1797 I’m just talking
San Francisco and Seattle are both western cities.

Therefore, the two cities were very close. After a two-hour flight, the plane had already landed at the Seattle airport. At the airport pick-up gate, Dixon was already waiting for Ye Feng.

Before Lanshan went public, Ye Feng personally recruited him and invited him to join Lanshan Company and form a venture capital department.

Dixon has also considered this matter for a long time, including asking his family and colleagues for their opinions. He was always hesitant, because joining Lanshan Company meant that he would leave Wall Street, where he had worked hard for nearly 20 years, and go to China.

However, Dixon’s last doubts were dispelled on May 5, the day Lanshan went public. Since its listing in the United States, Lanshan has grown from a company originally valued at US$20 billion to a giant company with a market value of US$150 billion. .

Regardless of whether it is Lanshan or its founder Ye Feng.

All young enough.

Being young also means unlimited possibilities.

So after Lanshan went public, Dixon, the head of Citibank's global capital markets, flew to Seattle immediately, trying to buy the NBA team SuperSonics from Schultz for Ye Feng.

What is a qualified employee?
A qualified employee is one who helps the boss achieve the goals he wants. As for qualifications and reputation, Dixon, who has Wall Street values, thinks they are not very important. What matters is what you can do for the boss.

Fortunately, Dixon is not the only one paying attention to Lanshan's listing. Starbucks boss Schultz also paid great attention to Lanshan's listing after meeting Ye Feng.

The first time Dixon and Schultz met, Schultz took the initiative to mention the sensation that Lanshan had brought to the Nasdaq stock market. His words meant both Lanshan and Ye Feng. , all expressed very high admiration.

This also made it much easier for Dixon and Schultz to talk about the purchase of the NBA team SuperSonics again. Although the reason for the ease is not necessarily because Lanshan’s stock price rose sharply on the day it went public, it may also be because Because Ye Feng gave Schultz an additional US$2000 million, but in the capital market, the process and price are often not that important.

The important thing is the Sonics, Schultz agreed to sell to Ye Feng.

After receiving Ye Feng's flight to Seattle in advance, Dixon waited at the airport very early. In addition to Dixon, Schultz was also with Dixon. Schultz also followed Dixon to pick up Ye Feng.

After coming out of the tunnel, Ye Feng was a little surprised to see Schultz, but he quickly understood the reason. This time he came to Seattle to sign a formal contract for the team with Schultz. It was normal for Schultz to pick him up.

Ye Feng walked up and shook hands with Schultz.

Schultz was much older than Ye Feng, but he did not waste his money in front of Ye Feng. On the contrary, when he saw Ye Feng, he showed far more enthusiasm than the first time they met.

Shake hands with Ye Feng.

He also expressed his great welcome to Ye Feng, saying that he had paid attention to Lanshan's listing on Nasdaq. He also congratulated Ye Feng on the surge in Lanshan's stock price and congratulated Lanshan's market value for exceeding US$380 billion.

Ye Feng expressed his gratitude to Schultz for his congratulations.

Then Schultz welcomed Chen Pan's arrival. He didn't know Chen Pan, but he could see that Chen Pan was an equal to Ye Feng, and the other two following Ye Feng were bodyguards.

Chen Pan was from a good background and would not lose his place in the scene. In addition, he came to Seattle this time mainly to buy the NBA team SuperSonics for Ye Feng. Ye Feng was the protagonist and he was a sidekick, so he greeted Schulz politely. In just two sentences, the center of the topic was given to Ye Feng and Schultz.

"When you come to Seattle this time, you must stay in Seattle for a few more days. Let me do my best as a landlord and show you the beautiful scenery of Seattle. Seattle is still a very beautiful city."

Schultz walked outside the airport while chatting with Ye Feng in English.

Ye Feng tactfully explained to Schultz that he had many things in the country that he had to deal with when he returned. He was pressed for time and had no time this time. He would definitely bother him the next time he came to Seattle.In fact, Ye Feng was smiling and thinking, if you wait until tomorrow, don't scold me on the phone.

So this time I won’t deepen my relationship with Schulz. Once I have feelings, I feel a little embarrassed to do many things.

Schultz didn't know what Ye Feng was thinking. He was very happy to be able to make friends with a newly promoted global rich man like Ye Feng through the Supersonics. The most happy thing was that this rich man was also quite generous. In the Sonics' original 3.5 million An additional US$2000 million was added to the US dollar price.

As for Ye Feng's eagerness to return to China, Schultz can understand it. After all, Ye Feng is young. The company has just been listed and its market value has doubled from its valuation. It is normal for him to be anxious to return to China.

Therefore, Schultz did not waste Ye Feng's time and directly brought Ye Feng, Dixon and his team to the company. As for the team transaction contract, it had been prepared before Ye Feng came. This contract was between Dixon and Shuer. The two parties agreed that Schultz, Party A, would sell the Sonics to Ye Feng, Party B, for a total price of US$3.7 million.

After the contract is signed, Ye Feng will fully own 100% of the shares of the NBA Seattle SuperSonics in his own name.

Ye Feng's time in country A in the past two years is not short. Not only has his spoken English improved a lot, but he can also understand contracts in English. If he doesn't understand something, he will consult Dixon who is standing by.

After confirming that the contract was correct, Ye Feng simply signed his name on Party B of the contract.

However, after Schultz signed Ye Feng's name, he did not immediately sign his own name on his contract. Instead, he suddenly looked up at Ye Feng worriedly and asked: "You said that after the Sonics bought it? You will continue to stay in Seattle, and you should keep your promise, right?”

Ye Feng said without changing his expression under Schultz's eyes: "Of course."

After Ye Feng finished speaking, Schultz dispelled his doubts. With Ye Feng's financial strength, he was not worried that the Sonics would not be able to chase the championship in Ye Feng's hands. He was only worried that after Ye Feng bought the team, Bennett, like Oklahoma City, would move the team away from Seattle.

Now after receiving Ye Feng's commitment, Schultz finally signed his name on the contract with confidence. In other words, from this moment on, the SuperSonics team will belong to Ye Feng alone.

In the NBA, the void of thirty teams without Chinese owners was filled by Ye Feng.

After having dinner together at noon.

Dixon, Ye Feng, Chen Pan and others left together. Ye Feng invited Dixon again. Although he vaguely guessed that Dixon had agreed to join Lanshan, the formal process still had to be followed.

This time Dixon did not refuse, but asked Ye Feng to give him half a month to a month to leave, and then report to him in China.

On the way to the airport, preparing to return home.

Dixon raised a previous doubt in his mind and asked Ye Feng: "Mr. Ye, are you really planning to keep the Sonics in Seattle?"

"No."

Ye Feng shook his head, and then said to Dixon: "You happen to be in country A for a short time, and the follow-up matters of the team are left to you. After you return, you announced to the media that the SuperSonics will move out of Seattle and move to San Francisco. I will ask someone named Li Liang to contact you then."

"Then you promised Schultz before?" Dixon looked at Ye Feng in surprise. He originally thought Ye Feng had changed his mind when he saw Ye Feng promise Schultz not to move the Sonics out.

Ye Feng smiled, with a look of freedom and ease that he had not seen in the past six years.

"I'm just talking."
