Chapter 114: Did You Lie To Me?

"Ding-dong-"

At this moment, a bell rang in the hall, Zhang Yu looked up at the clock, it was exactly 9 o'clock.

He got up and went to the foyer. Through the monitoring screen on the wall, he saw Yan Shu waiting outside the gate.

Zhang Yu opened the door, walked across the yard, and welcomed Yan Shu in.

Yan Shu looked at the mansion in front of him in astonishment, hesitatingly said:

"Boss, is this your home?"

"No, this is my friend's house, I just live here temporarily." Zhang Yu said.

"Oh, that's right...you are looking for me today, do you have any news?" Yan Shu looked at Zhang Yu expectantly.

During this month, Zhang Yu took the initiative to introduce Jeff Austin and Larry Riley to her. She also successfully became a regular through these two interviews. Well hidden.

Today, Zhang Yu took the initiative to contact her again, and Yan Shu had a premonition that this must be big news.

Zhang Yu led her into the living room to sit down, Tina brought a glass of water, Zhang Yu said:

"I don't know what you are used to drinking, so I only prepared warm water, sorry."

Yan Shu glanced left and right, and found that there was no one else except Zhang Yu and the nanny.

"Water is fine." She picked up the water glass, took a sip politely, and said with a chuckle, "Big coach, didn't you ask me to interview someone today? Could it be that I interviewed you?"

"That's right." Zhang Yu nodded.

Yan Shu's eyes lit up, Zhang Yu is going to expose the news that he will take over as the head coach of the Warriors?

She knew the influence of Jeff Austin and Larry Riley's interviews on the Warriors draft, and saw the connection between Zhang Yu and the Warriors.

He took out the tape recorder and notebook and spread them out on his lap:

"Then why start now?"

Seeing her impatient look, Zhang Yu laughed and said:

"Then what are you in a hurry for?"

Yan Shu's eyes widened:

"Do you know how long I've kept this matter in my heart? I'm a reporter! I know a big news, but I can't report it, and I have to keep it secret. Do you know how uncomfortable it feels? Tell me quickly , How did you become the head coach of the Warriors?"

"Warriors head coach? I'm not yet." Zhang Yu shook his head.

"Isn't it the head coach? Then it's the assistant coach... That's right, you're so young, it's hard to be the head coach, but the assistant coach is also very good. No Chinese can be a coach in the NBA yet." Yan Shu was slightly disappointed, But still nodded in understanding.

Seeing that Yan Shu completely misunderstood what he meant, Zhang Yu explained:

"It's not an assistant coach either. You know that the Warriors have been acquired, right?"

"I know, "The Chronicle" also reported that a month ago, a rich man named Mark Baum bought the Warriors... We finally got rid of that bastard Chris Cohan." Yan Shu said somewhat relieved, She is also a Warriors fan.

The news of the Warriors changing hands has long been exposed, but it did not attract much attention. At most, it was used as a talking point for local fans in San Francisco, but it was quickly forgotten.

In the NBA, except for topical bosses like the Bass family and Mark Cuban, fans focus on the team and stars, and don't care about the boss at all.

Since entering the 21st century, the Celtics, Nuggets, Cavaliers and other teams have all changed their owners, but none of them are eye-catching.

In Zhang Yu's previous life, NBA teams changed owners frequently in the next few years, but apart from Steve Ballmer and Jordan's acquisitions that caused heated discussions, only the owners of the Kings and Bucks attracted people's attention a little bit - relying on their beautiful daughters .

As for other owners who buy teams... the fans watch the game, do you play or have the ball?

Therefore, the acquisition of the Warriors did not cause many waves in the league at all, and no one connected this matter with Curry's draft.

Zhang Yu chuckled lightly:

"Yeah Chris Cohan is finally gone. For this, I spent a total of 500 million US dollars, which is most of my net worth."

Yan Shu was taken aback, and said in a trembling voice:

"500 million dollars? Most of the net worth?"

She wondered if she heard it wrong, and looked at Zhang Yu intently, trying to see from his face whether he was joking.

Looking at Yan Shu's big unblinking eyes, Zhang Yu felt an urge to laugh for some reason.

He suppressed a smile and nodded calmly:

"That's right, I actually bought the Warriors, and I'm the new owner of the Warriors!"

Yan Shu was completely stunned, and after a while he stammered and said:

"You, you lied to me?"

"No."

"But it was Mark Baum who bought the Warriors. He is from Indiana, and you are from China!"

"It's like this. Mark Baum is my friend. We have established a joint venture company. Although he is the legal person of the company and he signed the contract with Chris Cohan, I have control over the company. By the way, this The house is his."

Yan Shu opened his mouth slightly, looked around the mansion with a dazed expression, and suddenly asked

"Are you the super rich second generation?"

"No."

"Then how come you are so rich?"

"That's a long story... I was lucky and made a fortune in the subprime mortgage securities market." Zhang Yu said vaguely.

Yan Shu barely suppressed the shock in her heart, and sighed:

"Coach, you are amazing, let's get started, can you talk about your process of acquiring the Warriors?"

She picked up the pen and was ready to record at any time.

Zhang Yu said:

"Okay, it's like this, half a year ago, I got in touch with Chris Cohan..."

...

The next day, in the morning, Old Nelson came out of the bathroom, stroked his shaved chin, sat down at the dining table, picked up the San Francisco Chronicle on the table and flipped through it, which was his habit every morning.

The headlines on the front pages of the newspapers were somewhat sensational—"Shocked!The inside story of the Warriors trade.

His heart sank and he looked down.

After the new boss bought the Warriors, he has not contacted him. This time, the draft that should have been led by him was replaced by Larry Riley.

The old Nelson knew the reason. He was very old in the Warriors and could even suppress Larry Riley.

The new boss should use this to suppress his prestige, and may even change to a new head coach.

This report is related to the Warriors' trade. He can use this to understand the temperament of the new boss and see if he can communicate with him.

Old Nelson is also getting old. Although he doesn't have to worry about finding a job again, he doesn't want to go to other teams and wants to stay in Golden State to retire.

After reading the report carefully, his expression kept changing, and finally he threw the newspaper on the table and murmured:

"Are you kidding me, the 26-year-old boss also serves as the head coach?!"
