January 22nd.
Zhao Hang took a plane from Los Angeles to New York very early.
Accompanied by Pelinka's team, they rushed to the New York Knicks 'office.
The owners of the Knicks, Dolan, Donnie Wash, D'Antoni, and a group of senior executives had been waiting for a long time.
Boss Dolan's appearance made Zhao Hang feel that Nix was very sincere towards him.
After a simple greeting, Donniwash took out a large stack of contracts.
Pelinka and the legal advisor finished checking.
Zhao Hang started signing.
Many of the terms and conditions of NBA player contracts were explained by specialized legal professionals.
The signing of the contract also meant that Zhao Hang would no longer be able to ride a motorcycle or bungee jump.
He was also an official member of the Knicks.
"Ding! Mission completed. The reward will be released in 24 hours. Please check it in time.”
Zhao Hang signed his name on the contracts.
A system notification sounded.
However, Zhao Hang had no time to pay attention to it now.
"Zhao, welcome to the Knicks!!”Dolan said.
"Do you know why we agreed to your 1 1 contract?”
"Oh, why?" Zhao Hang was indeed curious about this.
The player had the initiative in the 1 1 contract. For big players, this was their capital to negotiate with the team.
Of course, there was a downside to this contract, which was that it was a short contract.
If you perform poorly during this period, then your next contract may be greatly reduced.
Only those who were absolutely confident and requested from the team would sign such a contract.
Otherwise, the longer it was, the better.
Generally speaking, those who had the confidence to sign such a contract were confident in their own strength.
"You're the defender we've always dreamed of. I'm optimistic about your future and I'm willing to bet on you. Then I believe you'll fall in love with this city.!”
While Dolan was talking to Zhao Hang, Donniwash took out the champagne he had prepared and poured it for them.
In the eyes of many people, the owner of the Knicks was a crazy fan.
He was a lunatic who didn't lack money and was famous for gambling.
It was also because he had made a lot of jokes out of gambling on rubbish contracts. Without a doubt, Zhao Hang was also the target of his heavy bets.
"Boss, congratulations. You've won this bet for sure.”Zhao Hang said confidently.
After Zhao Hang signed the contract, Dolan had already started to make a profit from signing an All-Star with 10 million USD.
This was where Zhao Hang's confidence lay.
"Zhao, I like your confidence. Haha, let's congratulate the Knicks for the championship!!!!”Dolan shouted with great ambition.
"I think it's not bad to take down Miami!!!”Zhao Hang also said heroically.
"Zhao, I like you more and more, haha.”
Zhao Hang's words made Dolan feel even more comfortable.
Dolan actually didn't care about the championship.
He only felt angry when James played him last year.
It was now the consensus of all the teams in the league to take down the Big Three.
" Then, I hope we have a good cooperation, Zhao."
D'Antoni took the initiative to raise his glass.
"Cheers!"
..........
The New York Knicks had a market cap of 2.6 billion dollars.
For the second year in a row, it ranked first in the league's market value, up 10% from 2010.
Zhao Hang knew very well that in the past 10 years and the next 10 years, the market cap list was the pattern of the New York Knicks and the Clippers taking turns leading.
Even though the Knicks had played badly in recent years, the people of New York were rich. The Knicks, who were deep in the world's largest city, had always lived a very happy life.
After the renovation of the stadium, the increase in seats and sponsorship brought the Knicks $1 billion in revenue, and they had signed a new broadcasting agreement with the MG.
The Knicks were in the largest city in M Nation and the world's financial center, New York. They never lacked spectators, and ticket sales were not a problem for them. Moreover, there were many rich people in New York. They just wanted to follow the fashion and have fun. They just had a place to entertain themselves.
People wanted to spend money at the Garden.
How could the Knicks not make money?
Even if he was lying down, he could still earn money. Battle results were not important.
Dolan was a smart businessman. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been at the top of the food chain in New York, where the strong preyed on the weak.
In addition to MCG, Dolan's assets included the Radio City Music Hall, the Chicago Theater, and the Lighthouse Theater in New York, as well as investments in the Tao Group, the Tribeca Film Festival, the Boston Call Music Festival, and the pop music venue TheForum.
Therefore, the New York Knicks were born to be rich in the NBA. They lacked star players and did not lack money.
Previously, their initial offer to Zhao Hang was an average of 8 million USD per year.
Zhao Hang raised the amount to 1000 USD a year, and they agreed without even blinking.
James Dolan was obviously not a person who relied on the Knicks to make money. A good record would make him look more dignified when he went out.
James Dolan, who was almost 50 years old and the head of the New York Knicks and the head of the company in the garden, was only 5 feet 6 inches tall, but he always thought of himself as a fighter. He was willing to compete with any challenger, never bowed his head, and never distorted his beliefs.
Usually, this kind of personality would be praised by people in the competitive New York.
However, it was very difficult to find a person in New York who liked Dolan.
Ever since the Dolan family took over the NBA team, the New York Knicks, in 1997.
The team had failed to make the playoffs in 13 of its 21 seasons.
Team owner James Dolan's management ability, public image, and style of handling things were often criticized and ridiculed. He was even repeatedly named the " Worst Boss in the NBA."
Today, he still maintained his style!
Gambling on Zhao Hang.
