Dolan shook his head and said, "That's impossible, William. Garden Square doesn't only have the Knicks. There are other teams. It's still possible if you only buy the Knicks. None of the shareholders of Garden Square will agree if you buy all of them."
William thought about it and felt that it was a pity. This year and next year were the best time to buy the Knicks. Affected by the stock market crash, the Dolan family had suffered heavy losses in the stock market, and their value had almost fallen by half. Now it was not certain that they had a value of 1.5 billion dollars.
Dolan did need cash flow, but the possibility of them selling all of the Knicks was too low. Forget it, it was better to buy Chelsea with the money. He now had 11% of Chelsea's shares, and he was English. Even if he competed with Abramovich, he would definitely win.
"In that case, forget it. Thank you for your hospitality, Dolan. I'll think about it again. I'll call you if I have a result."
Dolan was depressed and separated from William. He wanted to fool around with one or two hundred million dollars from the young man who suddenly became rich. He did not expect William to have such a big appetite.
He actually wanted to swallow the core industry of the Dolan family. God, do young people nowadays not care about money so much? He did not even frown at 1.5 billion dollars. 1.5 billion dollars was higher than the value of his entire family.
If he could make the decision, Dolan might really sell it to William. Even selling the Knicks would be fine. Maybe I'll go back and discuss it with my family, Dolan thought secretly.
William walked away on his own, but the guests around him looked at William's back in surprise. Who was this little guy? Why did Dolan receive him personally and with such a good attitude?
Dolan was not a good person. He drank, took drugs, and had a big mouth. New Yorkers did not have such a good impression of Dolan. A person who could be received so formally by the bad-tempered Dolan was certainly not an ordinary person. They would go back and find out who this young man was.
When William walked into the stadium, he sat in the first row of the stadium and took off his cap. Many people immediately recognized William. Wasn't this the new super-rich man from England that was broadcasted on television today?
The TV said that this young man's net worth exceeded 3 billion USD. This net worth could be ranked in the top 100 in the world. Moreover, he was so young and handsome. Many female celebrities looked at William with shining eyes. From time to time, they would look at William. They would be fools not to catch this kind of super rich husband.
Bartley, who had just retired to become a commentator for TNT, shouted into the microphone in shock, "Wow, wow, look who this is. Quick, turn the camera to the side of the Knicks' bench."
When the camera panned to William, who was looking left and right at the field and the players, the audience who had seen today's news immediately looked at the big screen in the stadium excitedly. Voices shouting William's name could be heard from time to time.
William turned his head to look at the audience who were shouting his name in shock. He did not know that the camera was facing him. The audience looked at the confused William and laughed.
Bartley laughed and teased his partner. "It seems like the enthusiasm of the New York fans has scared our new tycoon. Alright, guys, be more polite. Perhaps our Mr. Tycoon will treat you to hamburgers and cola." Bartley laughed and teased his partner.
William knew that he had appeared on the big screen after being reminded by the brawny man beside him. He turned his head to look at the big screen and waved at the camera to greet the audience.
When he heard the audience shouting for hamburgers and cola, he smiled and made an OK gesture to the camera.
When the audience saw that William was so generous, they could not help but applaud. Many girls shouted at William, "I love you, William."
William signed a $100,000 check to the arena's staff who came after hearing the news. The staff showed the check to the camera and called the fast food restaurant.
Today, there were 18,000 people in the audience. 100,000 USD was enough for two rounds of hamburgers and cola. They all applauded for William again. Thanks were given to those who had taken advantage of him. From time to time, sounds of thanks could be heard.
William was also very happy to spend a little money to advertise in front of the entire American audience. However, the audience's praise for him made the madman Latrell Sprewell unhappy. The guy pretended to throw the basketball at William while cursing.
The situation that Latrell Sprewell expected did not happen. Who was William? He was someone who had a cheat code. Amidst the audience's exclamations, he caught the basketball with one hand without turning his head.
William caught the basketball and looked at Latrell Sprewell. The guy did not look embarrassed at all. He even arrogantly shouted at William to pass the ball back to him.
The audience was stunned by the brainless Latrell Sprewell. How dare he attack the audience? Did he not want to play anymore? This guy would definitely be suspended after the game.
William ignored Latrell Sprewell. He grabbed the basketball, bounced it, and threw it at the Hawks' hoop.
The basketball went straight in with a swoosh, amidst the astonishment of nearly 20,000 people in the stadium.
Haha. William was secretly delighted. It was great to have a cheat code. Bullseye's throwing ability was really amazing. Plus, he was now several times stronger than an ordinary person.
He did not even need to jump. He just stood still and easily threw the basketball into the hoop. Big mouth Barbartley kept saying, "Unbelievable. It must be a wild guess." He shouted for William to do it again.
At this time, the audience also shouted "one more time" after Barbartley's reminder. One of the Hawks' players also went crazy. Seeing the audience's request, this guy picked up the basketball and passed it to William.
After William received the basketball, he threw it directly into the hoop without any preparation. The basketball went straight in with a swoosh, just like the first time.
This made the audience go crazy immediately. Many people covered their hair with their hands and shouted, "Unbelievable. This can't be real." Some people did not believe it and shouted for another one. They did not believe that William's shooting ability was so good.
When it came to dribbling and dribbling, William was obviously a newbie. However, he was confident that he could hit a hundred shots without anyone guarding him while he was standing still.
William laughed as he received the basketball amidst the cheers of the audience. He walked to the commentator's seat and signaled to Barbartley that he wanted to say something.
Barbartley really had a talent for entertainment. It was no wonder that his achievements as a commentator were not worse than his players after he retired. He quickly stood up and picked up the microphone to face William.
After William thanked Barbartley, he said into the microphone, "Thank you for your enthusiasm. How about we play a little game?"
Barbartley did not wait for the audience to respond. He said directly into the microphone, "Of course. We welcome any interesting game. It depends on how you want to play. My friends in the audience, what do you think?"
"Of course." The audience at the scene immediately went along with Barbartley's words. Now, they did not care if the game was about to start. The New York audience would definitely agree to such an interesting thing.
William laughed and said, "Alright. The game I want to play is that I will stand in the center circle and shoot ten balls into the hoop. If I hit the hoop, all of you will have to bow to me and shout," Long live Devonshire! "If I don't hit the hoop, I will give you a bottle of Budweiser for each ball. Of course, the children here will get an autographed basketball from Barbartley. How about this, Barbartley?
"Of course, no problem. No problem at all. What's the big deal about an autograph? Let's take a photo together. What I care about is your Budweiser. William, I don't believe that you can hit the hoop all ten times. What do you think?" Barbartley shouted to the audience. He was very enthusiastic about such things that were in the limelight.
The audience at the scene said, "That's right. We are waiting for your Budweiser."
