Chapter 1935 Preparations for the New Arena
While Ye Yun was in Gao Xuan's room, Ye Feng, Li Liang and the team's SuperSonics management had already arrived in San Francisco from New York. Howard Schultz's claim that the Sonics deal was invalid had already been ruled in a Seattle court.

Seattle court rejects Howard Schultz's claim.

In other words, the NBA Supersonics team has completely belonged to Ye Feng, so Ye Feng and Li Liang went to San Francisco to implement the construction of the new arena.

training center.

Stop the car.

Pan Kun immediately got out of the passenger seat and opened the door for Ye Feng. Another Rolls-Royce came out. After giving Ye Feng the custom-made retro Huiying Rolls-Royce, Li Liang ordered another Rolls-Royce. The price of the Slys Phantom is not as scary as the previous global limited edition, but it is more solemn, grand, and very suitable for business.

In Li Liang's words, this car was specially prepared to pick up Ye Feng.

This is Ye Feng’s second visit to the training center after renting it. At the same time, it will also be the home arena for NBA games before the team builds a new arena. Standing out of the office window, you can admire the coast of San Francisco. The scenery, especially when the red sun gradually sets on the sea level, is simply beautiful.

Ye Feng is very satisfied with the training center.

After watching the sunset on the sea level for a while, Ye Feng sat behind his desk. It is still in the offseason. Although Durant has been selected, according to the process, it will be almost time for him to report to the San Francisco team. One month later.

The main thing to do now is to implement the construction of the new arena.

Ye Feng has no problem investing in a new arena, but he has one condition, which is to ask the San Francisco authorities to prepare a piece of land for him to build a new arena. The location was confirmed with Li Liang and Chen Pan last time in New York.

Right on the bay.

Even when not competing, you can sit in the office and enjoy the scenery of the Bay Area.

Ye Feng also told Li Liang his thoughts. Li Liang was a second-generation rich man with a good background in San Francisco. However, after Ye Feng made him 1.2 million U.S. dollars in less than a year, he just wanted to He hugged Ye Feng's thigh and got confused.

$1.2 billion.

Nearly 10 billion.

Moreover, it is also cash flow, which makes Li Liang really show his face in the family. In addition, Ye Feng has not only acquired the SuperSonics team, but also spent 8 million US dollars to build a sports complex center in San Francisco. If he can Don't want to hang out with Ye Feng?
After listening to Ye Feng's idea, Li Liang felt that it was not a big problem for the San Francisco authorities to provide a piece of land, because the NBA's comprehensive influence on a city is very large, not only the impact on sports, but also bringing enough to the city. The economic effect, not to mention that the arena center that Ye Feng is going to build will cost US$10 billion?Once completed, it will definitely become one of San Francisco's landmark buildings.

When Ye Feng saw that Li Liang said that the problem was not big, he handed the matter over to Li Liang. Li Liang's family was still very powerful in California. As for how much land he wanted, Li Liang also knew in his mind. As early as Last time, Ye Feng told him that what he wanted to build was not just a basketball stadium, but a multi-functional sports venue with an arena as the center, a music venue, office buildings, restaurants, and retail areas.

After the two chatted for a while about the new arena, team manager Presti walked in.

Ye Feng stood up and shook hands with Presti.

Presti is a very experienced team manager in the NBA. Although Ye Feng also watches the NBA, he does not know much about the management of NBA teams, so the team has to rely on Presti to run many things.

Although Ye Feng is young, Presti respects this boss who looks much younger than him. The reason is very simple. His new boss is rich and has enough money.

If a team wants to achieve good results, it must have enough money to sign all-star players.The Celtics offered him a trade plan, which was to use Jeff Green, whom they signed with the No. 5 pick, plus Delonte West and Szczerbiak to trade Ray Allen. .

So Presti came to Ye Feng to discuss whether to agree to the Celtics' trade request.

Ye Feng did not rush to answer, but first asked Presti what he thought.

Presti thought for a moment and expressed his opinion. Ray Allen is the league's super three-point shooter, but one thing is that Ray Allen is older and has passed his peak period, so he thinks he can agree. This transaction.

When Ye Feng saw what Presti said, he agreed to the deal. Because of the composition of his team, Ray Allen was not on the roster. In the future, he would form a team with Durant as the core of the team.

Then find a way to sign Yao Ming and Yi Jian.

Although Yi Jianlian did not develop well in the NBA in his previous life, in fact, Yi Jianlian has the ability to play in the NBA, but because of his too introverted personality, his development in the NBA is not very smooth. And if he can If Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming are signed together, they will definitely bring very good commercial value to the team.

……

The mayor of San Francisco is Gavin Newsom.

However, the person who contacted Ye Feng was not Gavin Newsom, but San Francisco City Administrator Li Mengxian. Li Mengxian is a Chinese-American. The next morning, Ye Feng met Li Mengxian at the hotel training center.

Although Li Mengxian is now an American, Ye Feng still has a good impression of Chinese Americans. He also expressed to Li Mengxian the need for a piece of land to build a new Sonics arena, and revealed the construction funds and approximate scale.

After listening to Ye Feng's words, Li Mengxian knew that the Sonics were going to take root in San Francisco. This was a very good thing for San Francisco. After Li Mengxian listened to Ye Feng's request, he made a phone call and spoke to the mayor. After communicating for a while, they agreed to Ye Feng's request and provided Ye Feng with a free piece of land in the Bay Area on behalf of the San Francisco authorities for Ye Feng to build a new multi-purpose arena.

The land was settled, and all that was left to do was to find a designer to design the arena.

Ye Feng had nothing to do when he returned to China for the time being, so he decided to stay and look at the drawings of the arena designed by several design companies, and then decide which design company's drawings to use.

soon.

The Sonics were spending $8 million to build a new arena in San Francisco, which was reported in the San Francisco Chronicle and the Washington newspaper. At this time, Ye Feng also encountered new troubles.

That is, an organization called the "Mission Bay Alliance" filed a lawsuit against the construction of the new arena, believing that the construction of the new arena will cause traffic congestion, which will affect citizens' access to UCSF Medical Center for medical treatment.

It's like saying you've hit a nail on the head.

Ye Feng asked Li Liang and the lawyer and found that this matter was actually quite difficult to handle in the United States. Construction could not officially start until the lawsuit was over. The only good thing was that the design of the new arena was not affected for the time being. It will be affected when construction officially starts.

After three days in San Francisco.

Ye Feng finally remembered his eldest sister and Ye's father and mother who were traveling to Spain, and called her.
