The next morning, Lin Yu went directly to old Paulin's house.
"Huh? Lin, where is our big-coach?"
When Paulin saw Lin Yu coming alone, he couldn't help but asked curiously.
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, what the hell is big-coach? You are the head coach, when will the team get another big coach? Great teacher? Da Zhangwei also traveled through time?
Lin Yu figured out in the next second that this should be the bus's nickname.
When Lin Yu was chatting with Unseld before, Unseld asked about Daba’s nickname. Lin Yu simply said it was Daba, which in English is BUS.
However, Unseld may have felt that this nickname was unappealing and sounded strange, so he gave him the nickname "big-coach", which does not mean a big coach, but means a big coach or a four-wheel carriage.
Ao Pang has the nickname Big Diesel, and Unseld is really a genius at naming.
"He didn't come, so I was solely responsible for his signing." Lin Yuwen smiled.
Old Paulin nodded, "That saves trouble. I asked the team's legal affairs to draw up a contract last night. You can take a look. You can ask him to come over and sign at any time."
Lin Yu picked up the contract and took a quick look. The annual salary of the contract was six years, which was really one million US dollars a year.
He placed the contract on the table in front of him and laughed.
"There's no rush about the contract. I actually have other things to do when I come here today."
"Huh? What is it? Is there anything more important than the bus contract?" Old Paulin frowned.
Lin Yu nodded solemnly, "It is indeed more important than the signing of Bus. I want to continue to acquire the equity of the Wizards."
"Fifty million will buy you 25% of your equity!"
This time, Lin Yu didn't make excuses, but went straight to the point and gave a quotation.
Old Paulin burst out laughing, "Boy, do you think acquiring equity is buying a car? Will you get a discount if you buy more?"
"No, on the contrary, the more shares you buy, the higher the price will be."
"In addition, you know the situation of the Wizards this year better than me. Now 12 million can no longer buy 5% of the equity. And the 25% equity you mentioned is impossible for me to sell without 70 million."
After he said this, he immediately became confused again. What did Lin Yu say just now? Spend 50 million to buy equity? Where did this guy get so much cash!
Lin Yu still had a faint smile on his face. Since he dared to offer this price, he was naturally confident that Old Bolin would agree.
"First of all, after I buy this 25% equity, I don't need the coaching salary."
"After my contract ends this year, no matter which team I go to, I should be able to get an annual salary of 1.5 million to 2 million, right?"
"If I work for the Wizards for five years, you can save close to 10 million U.S. dollars."
"Also, I don't need any dividends from the team, I just want equity."
"Even if the team suffers a loss, I can be responsible for 30% of the loss."
Old Paulin was stunned by the conditions offered by Lin Yu. He suspected that Lin Yu was a fool. He did not want dividends and wages, and he was also responsible for the team's losses. What is this other than a fool?
"Your conditions are very tempting, but I still can't agree. 25% of the equity is too much."
"I can sell you 10% of your equity for 30 million, kid. I'm already cheap enough for you."
"Of course, you still have to keep your promise."
Old Bolin was born as a businessman and maximized profits in everything. Even if Lin Yu's promise was sincere enough in his opinion, he still wanted to make more.
Lin Yu was so angry that he kept giving in over and over again. Do you really think that I have no temper?
When he first coached the Wizards, Pauline Sr. gave Lin Yu a humiliating coaching contract. Lin Yu had no qualifications at the time, but he could tolerate this contract.
Later, when he acquired the 5% equity, Lao Paulin offered 10 million, and when Lin Yu came to ask for 12 million, Lin Yu could bear it.
Now that Lin Yu has given enough face, it is unbearable for old Bolin to kick his nose and face.
Lin Yu had feelings for the Wizards and was grateful to Unseld, but he had no good feelings for old Paulin and no gratitude at all.
"Mr. Pauline, I don't need to remind you that players are a team's most valuable asset."
"Let me describe to you what the Wizards will be like after I leave."
"First of all, Ben. He has a two-way contract next year and will still have a basic salary of 150,000 yuan. After I go to coach other teams, I will recruit Ben to my team as soon as possible."
"Then there's Daba. There's no need to think about re-signing his contract. He will come to join me next year."
"Jalen Rose is also in a contract year this year. Do you think there is any way I can let him leave the Wizards?"
"Rose has left. How long do you think Webber can play with the Wizards? He may have to run away after the contract ends, right?"
"I don't have a good way to poach the two high school students who just joined the team this year, but I can guarantee you that as long as I leave, their strength will immediately shrink and they will become normal high school players."
Lin Yu looked directly into old Paulin's eyes and said with a sneer.
Every word he said had absolute confidence, and it had such confidence that Old Paulin had to believe it.
This Washington Wizards was built by Lin Yu. Except for the new young people, the core players on the team all have full favorability towards Lin Yu. As long as there are no contract restrictions, Lin Yu can easily poach them.
Especially Ben and Daba. Lin Yu has left the Wizards now. After the end of this season, he can find a team and take Ben and Daba to join him. They will immediately become a super twin-tower lineup. Which team can refuse? Lin Yu?
For example, if Lin Yu said he was going to the Philadelphia 76ers, then the 76ers boss could fire Larry Brown overnight to make room for Lin Yu.
This was how Lin Yu dared to fall out with Old Bolin. He was not afraid of Old Bolin's anger at all.
Hearing Lin Yu's threat, old Bolin felt as if he had been fed a ton of xixiang. He never expected that the young man who was almost working as a free coolie for him would dare to threaten him head-on.
What makes him even more crazy is that he knows that everything Lin Yu said, except for Kobe and Tracy McGrady, is all true, and Lin Yu can really do it.
He knows a lot about the team from Unseld, and he knows very well how grateful Ben is to Lin Yu.
Daba is the person Lin Yu brought into the alliance. The two are compatriots. If Lin Yu leaves, will Daba go to Lin Yu?
Jaylen Rose is also very grateful to Lin Yu. It was Lin Yuli who stayed with the Wizards in the first place.
Rose and Webber had a fateful relationship. Rose left. When Webber's contract expired, he saw Ben and Daba leaving. He no longer had strong teammates. Even if it was just to win the championship, he could not continue to stay. Wizard.
Old Bolin was furious, but he couldn't express his anger. He was really afraid that Lin Yu would give up his fight and leave in a fit of anger.
That will definitely put the Wizards, who are currently in a great position of momentum, into a desperate situation.
He began to formally consider Lin Yu's plan to acquire equity. After thinking for a moment, he could only sigh helplessly, did he have any other choice?
Fortunately, Lin Yu's conditions were extremely sincere, otherwise old Bolin would not have agreed to Lin Yu even if he fought to the death.
"Young man, don't be so angry. I can accept your conditions."
"But you have to get the bus contract for me, what do you think?"
At his age, old Paulin must be more calm than young people. He made a condition that was not a condition, which was a step down for himself.
Lin Yu put a gentle smile on his face again, "It's 12 million US dollars in three years. After our equity agreement is signed, we can sign the contract at any time."
Old Paulin began to curse again in his heart, 12 million in 3 years? The one I want to sign is 7 million for 7 years. Isn’t this too much?
However, he also knows that the market price of Daba is definitely more than a mere four million annual salary. If Daba enters the free market, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is 12 million a year, let alone 12 million in three years. There will be a lot of teams coming. Fight for the bus.
…
That afternoon, Lin Yu signed a check for $50 million to Paulin, and then successfully obtained 25% of the Wizards' equity.
Since then, Lin Yu has held 30% of the equity of the Wizards, and Paulin does not fully control the remaining 70% of the equity. The Wizards already have two other small shareholders, who also hold 20% of the equity. Paulin holds There is still 50% equity left.
Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He finally made a lot of money after traveling through time.
Three years later, Jordan purchased 5% of the Wizards' equity for $20 million. Lin Yu's 30% could be worth $120 million, not counting the sharp increase in market value after the Wizards won the championship.
Lin Yu estimates that in three years, his equity will be worth at least US$150 million, and it may be even more if the Wizards can become a dynasty.
When Lin Yu sells his shares and goes to a small team to acquire a large share of the shares, he can become the big boss of this team!
In other words, Lin Yu will have a chance to own a team of his own three years later!
Lin Yu felt like he was in a dream. In his previous life, he couldn't even afford a three-bedroom house, but in this life he was going to be the owner of an NBA team!
After the equity transfer agreement was signed, the bus contract was also signed that night.
After Lin Yu led the bus away, Old Bolin immediately called a private detective. The last time Lin Yu took out 12 million in cash, he had doubts in his heart.
But he didn't have the intention to investigate Lin Yu at that time, and now that Lin Yu had broken up with him, he had a reason to investigate Lin Yu.
Especially when Lin Yu took out 50 million in cash this time, Paulin was even more confused. As far as he knew, the young people in the United States who could take out 50 million in cash at one time could be counted with a slap on the hand. , there is definitely no Lin Yu among them.
…
The next morning, the NBA officially released two pieces of news that shocked the entire industry.
The first is that Lin Yu acquired 25% of the Wizards' equity for US$50 million.
The second is that Buss re-signed with the Washington Wizards at a price of US$12 million over three years.
Both pieces of news made Washington Wizards fans rejoice. After they witnessed Bus' dominance, they learned that Bus' contract was only for one year and was not guaranteed. They were extremely worried, fearing that Bus would run away next year.
Now that they have signed a three-year contract, they are completely relieved.
As for Lin Yu's acquisition of 25% of the Wizards' equity, the fans are even more happy. In their view, Lin Yu is the savior of the Wizards, and they even wish for Paul Lin to sell all his shares to Lin Yu.
It has been 40 years since Bolin Sr. bought the Washington Wizards. In this 40-year period, he has only won one championship, and that championship is still a long time ago. In the past ten years, it seems that entering the playoffs has not been a good thing for the Wizards. It's all a luxury wish.
Who can Wizards fans blame? Of course it's Paulin's fault.
Lin Yu has only been with the Wizards for half a year, and he immediately turned the Wizards into a favorite team to win the championship. Wizards fans certainly hope that Lin Yu will become the real owner of the Wizards.
