To be honest, for most people in the Celestial Empire, they watched NBA completely for Yao. Although Dakongyi was also in the NBA, he was just a rotating player, so he didn't pay much attention.

However, without comparison, there is no harm. Looking back at the post-Yao Yao era, Dakongyi was already very powerful. The only regret is that he was born in the same period as Dakyu.

Arthur, who knew that Yao Yao would retire in a year, naturally knew the value of Dakongyi, which would become the only highlight for the Celestial Market.

Although Dakongyi is a typical example of talent over CBA and not reaching NBA. There is really a galaxy between Ba. But who can make him the only candidate to bear a market? Even if he treats him as a mascot, Arthur will not let him leave the Nets.

Without Dayao and Dakongyi, NBA will be further and further away from the Celestial Market.

"He is too introverted, he has never been able to integrate into the team. He can't do the same as Yao Yao. Many in the league like Yao Yao because he is humorous and sincere, and has not adapted well to the NBA intensity and has been suffering from illness..."

Speaking of Dakongyi, Miles also explained his specific knowledge. He was worried that his boss would have too much hope for Tianchaoyi.

"No matter what the problem is, I believe it can be solved. I will leave it to you. You can communicate with him and help him. I don't want to see him be marginalized, and then escape without confidence. Keep him." Arthur ordered unquestionably. In his understanding, his subordinate seemed to have a very good friendship with the players.

"Okay, boss, I will communicate well with him." Miles couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart. By the way, it seems that Tian Chaoyi's English is still a problem.

"Boss, the team, are you..."

"I'll go over and take a look in the afternoon and patrol my territory, haha." Arthur said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Okay boss, I'll inform them and let them prepare." Miles said with a smile.

"Well." Arthur did not refuse to please the party. In his opinion, Miles' preparation was very necessary. As the boss, his subordinates had no awe and were definitely not a successful entrepreneur.

Whatever you say is to get along with your subordinates is nonsense. Companies without superiors and subordinates are just a group of mobs!

As the boss, Arthur, accompanied by Myers and a group of subordinates, began to inspect and understand his territory, visit various departments, understand the Nets' affairs in detail, and listen to the reports of his subordinates.

After a round of inspections, Arthur and Miles returned to the general manager's office, occupied the magpie's nest, and sat on the boss' chair belonging to General Manager Miles. Arthur explained the most important thing to Miles.

That is to acquire 20% of the equity of the Nets who stayed outside and the other half of the equity of the newly built Barclays Arena. Arthur just wanted to own the Nets 100%. He knew better than anyone else that the NBA is a very successful business alliance. After a few years, the market value of each team will soar many times, or even more than ten times, which is crazy.

Naturally, Arthur didn't expect to spend a high price to acquire it at that time. He took advantage of the low price and got everything early to avoid the night of long dreams. Besides, with other shareholders, he could not let him play freely, which was a bit constrained.

"Boss, if other shareholders refuse to sell the shares..."

"Then tell them to prepare their money and inject capital into the Nets. The team has no profit to share in the next ten years. I will dilute their shares a little bit and kick them out!"

Arthur knew that there was no more way for shareholders who refused to sell their shares. He could only squeeze out the other party by diluting the shares. He continued with a sneer: "Is it time to sell shares to make some money or to invest additionally? I can't see any profit. Finally, I saw that the shares in my hands are getting fewer and fewer? I gave them the way, and how to choose depends on their own!"

"I understand, boss." Myers felt the sharpness and decisiveness of the young boss for the first time, and finally realized that it was not that simple that the young nobleman in front of him could achieve his current achievements.

"Okay, I'll leave the team to you. I won't ask how to operate it. I only have one requirement. Don't be too bad. Just embarrass me. I don't want to be a laughing stock in the world!" Arthur stood up from the boss's chair, reached out and patted the back of the boss's chair, and said to Miles with a faint smile.

"Thank you for your trust," Miles said with some excitement.

"Do it well, let's see you!" Arthur walked to Miles' side, patted his shoulder gently, and after encouraging him, he stopped stopping. After Miles respectfully sent him off, he left the office building of the New Jersey Nets.

Sitting in the car back to Manhattan, Arthur looked at the scenery outside the window, narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to think about his next plan.

His first step of making a wonderful appearance has been perfectly completed. He can now be considered a celebrity in New York and even the United States. By buying an NBA team, he can do this. For Arthur, who wants to fully explore the American market, it is really worth the money.

Next, it is his second plan to integrate into the upper class of American society...

Although Arthur was an English count and a noble noble of noble origin, although he was a cross-river for the upper class of the United States, it was not so easy to integrate into it.

New York is said to be huge. It is said that even the police in New York are composed of people from more than a hundred countries. It is said to be small and extremely small. Manhattan is a place where you can live mainly by walking. If you walk fast, you can run through two hours and cross over 40 minutes. This small area is divided into upper city, mid city and lower city.

Upper Town is a traditional wealthy area, guarding Central Park. Upper East District often lives with the "old money" family. The environment here is pleasant, with good schools everywhere, gathering 1% of the people at the top of New York's wealth, and is nicknamed "the territory of super-advanced white people."

If New York is the center of the world, then the Upper East Side is the center of New York. In this place famous for its rich residential areas, fine restaurants and luxury stores, the air is full of money.

The adjacent Upper West District lived in a group of people who became rich later, but later expanded to the west because the Upper East District gradually became full. The Midtown is more commercial and office buildings, and new fashionable areas have appeared in recent years. Some areas in Lower Town are more artistic and energetic, and are considered places where newcomers live.

So, in New York, someone asked you where you live, but actually asked where you are in the pyramid, where the most distinctive class is the place where the address is most important.

This saying circulates in New York, "Except for the dry season of the Serengeti grassland in Africa, when thirsty animals snatch water and drink water, the most dangerous thing in the world is the most dangerous place, fighting for each other, blood flows into a river, and the place where dragons and tigers fight is Manhattan!"

And the upper class of Manhattan is really suffocating. Everyone is a pair of powerful and powerful eyes. Your skin color, dress and taste are being picked eight hundred times a day.

Starting from what you study, what major you study, and what movies you watch, the class template has been put on everyone's head, and there should be no deviation in every link.

Here, the temperament accumulated with money is just a nouveau riche. Even if you get the ticket to enter the upper class and rashly break in, you will be the target of fooling and ridiculing the old money family and wealthy families, even if their money is not as much as nouveau riche.

However, there is no need to worry about these Arthurs. After all, he is also a representative of his cheating life. The traditional British aristocrat, the Count who has been passed down for hundreds of years, has the purest and most noble noble blood, and is a young and promising billionaire. He is simply a fairy tale origin.

Coupled with his tall and burly figure and handsome handsome face, he has long become the target of many people, and the focus of discussion and attention in the upper class of Manhattan.

How can the American rich family with a strong sense of class and family status be more qualified to talk about heritage and nobility with pure British aristocrats like Arthur?

After all, if these old American rich families had a good time in the UK back then, they would not have traveled thousands of miles to the United States in the wilderness!

It's time to start swiping copy of various events and parties!

Back in his mansion, Arthur piled up all the invitations he received during this period on the table, and began to open them one by one with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Christie's New York Classic Art Week" and "Sotheby's Times Art Blooming" were invited to two large spring auctions. With these two invitations, Arthur had to sigh that the information from these auction houses was so well-informed that they could accurately send the invitation to him.

Arthur knew that his address was no longer a secret, and those who should have known had known it had long ago.

When I continued to open the invitation letters, most of them were art exhibitions, art fairs, and charity art drinks. Arthur was a little amused and crying. The invitations placed on his desk were simply an art feast.

However, this is exactly what Arthur needs now. He is to constantly brush these dungeons to reach more American high-ranking people and personally expand his connections to the upper class in New York.

The world will have a feast of performing arts at every moment, top auction houses, art fairs, and exhibitions are always the most eye-catching. For those living on every side of the earth, there is no "time difference". In May, global art will undoubtedly enter New York time.

Compared with the auctions of real money and silver in the auction hall, the art fair is more diverse, especially for a spectator with a noble status like Arthur, it is more in line with his thirteen lines, showing the nobility and elegance of British aristocrats to those of the United States who claim to be the upper class!
