Chapter 17 Harry Potter
June 6nd was the beginning of the labor conflict in the entire NBA league. Because neither the owner nor the players made any concessions, this big contact ended in failure, and the draft meeting gave those worried fans a little bit. comfort.
Bruce frowned and looked at the information about the 98 free agent in his hand. Players who had been famous for a while emerged from his mind, and players who were familiar to later generations basically began to show their prominence. One of them was in The shooting guard who has been in the league for many years has aroused his great interest.
"Dale Curry!" Bruce drew a red circle on the list with great interest. As a fake fan, he still knows very little about this veteran who made his name with three-pointers. As long as he knows that his son is Stephen Curry, the very famous pitcher "Moe God" in his previous life, this alone can show the veteran's own ability.
When the media in the previous life interviewed Curry, Bruce had a little impression, and Curry's shooting was personally trained by his father Dell Curry!
"This guy is really a good backup guard!" Bruce smiled and took out a list of players, and after writing Dell Curry's name on the position of shooting guard, he stretched comfortably!
"Dude! Can you be so leisurely?" Chris casually opened the door, put a thick stack of documents in his hand on the desk, picked up the coffee that belonged to Bruce, and took a hasty sip.
"Kerry, you are the chairman of the team now! Why do you still have such a carefree look?" Bruce opened the file with a smile, looked at the group of team operation data on the file, and closed it with some headaches , and then said helplessly: "You know I don't understand these things at all!"
"Man, do you know what these represent?" Chris sat down helplessly, pointed to the document, and said, "Although Cohan was an idiot-level boss when he was running the team, I have to admire His ability to deal with business operations!"
"Oh? How's the financial status of the Warriors?" Bruce nodded in surprise. He was already prepared to take over a bad team. Although he didn't know much about Cohan in his previous life, he was stingy. I have seen the transaction with the idiot in some news, but now I am a little surprised when I hear Chris say this!
"The team's financial situation is very good, and the peripheral products are not bad." Chris said with a smile, then turned to a few pages, and continued: "The team's overall personnel composition is also very reasonable, and the salary cap itself is Cohan. The bottom line of never paying the luxury tax, the salaries of the players are still reasonable, and now you have exchanged Jim (Jackson)'s $456 million contract for a few rookies, and the salary cap has shrunk a little further!"
Listening to Chris's explanation, Bruce nodded in satisfaction. Although he had read about the health of the team's salary space, now that Chris confirmed it, he had some confidence in his heart.
"Hehe! Don't underestimate these rookies. They will be the cornerstone of our team for the next five years or even longer!" Bruce chuckled, with a hint of excitement in his eyes, and pushed the file to Chris then stood up and went to the cloakroom in the corner. When he came out, he had changed his seemingly good suit into something more suitable for young people, with a slightly loose short-sleeved T-shirt and American-style baggy jeans. With a pair of training shoes printed with the Warriors team logo, the whole person is much more casual and friendly than the previous seriousness!
"Dude, where are you going?" Chris looked at his friend suspiciously. Although there was nothing wrong with wearing this outfit before, but now he is used to Bruce wearing a suit. It made him a little bit overwhelmed!
"Shopping!" Bruce said bluntly, patted Chris on the shoulder, took out the car keys that Chris had in his pocket, and walked out with a smile and a whistle!
"This..." Chris looked at Bruce who was slowly closing the door in surprise, and was very surprised at what he was going to do now!
Bruce stood in the underground parking lot, staring at the modified Mustang in front of him with bright eyes. As a "real" dick in his previous life, how could he have the opportunity to drive such a luxury car, let alone the one in front of him? The "Shelby" that cost Chris nearly half a million dollars to modify.
Opening the car door excitedly, Bruce couldn't wait to feel the enveloping feeling brought by the seat, squinted his eyes in enjoyment, closed the car door with a "bang", and sped towards Oakland with the roar of the engine!
Buildings flashed by quickly, and Bruce's hands and feet were a little nervous and stiff at the beginning. After this period of careful driving, Bruce has returned to the casualness of his previous life.
And what he has to do now is simply to let himself relax. After all, he has been busy with team and league issues since his rebirth, and his brain feels a little rebellious and aches from time to time.
Blowing the slightly cool wind in the afternoon, looking at this exotic "sentiment" from time to time, I have some subtle feelings in my body and mind!
"Who would have thought that I don't belong to this era?" Bruce murmured with emotion, then parked the car outside a cafe, took out a coin from his jeans pocket and threw it into the timer on the side of the road , looked around for a while, and was suddenly attracted by a shop marked as a bookstore in the distance!
The entire bookstore was full of people, each with an excited expression on their faces, but most of them were children and teenagers!
Bruce wandered where to go in confusion, looked up at the situation in the bookstore, and saw books printed with children's cartoons handed out to those children who seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Come and see, it's pretty hard to see!
Just as Bruce was about to ask the parents standing not far from him, a white man who looked like a bookstore salesperson shouted loudly: "Lovely little guys, I'm very sorry, today's books are sold out, I also ask the parents of the children to be more understanding, sorry!!"
"F...K! My little Paul has been waiting for such a long time!! You actually said it's sold out!" A black parent with a beard and a "ditch" hairstyle unique to blacks put his arms around his arms. The aggrieved child in his arms questioned the salesperson angrily!
"Sorry! Sir, there is nothing we can do!" The salesperson looked at the angry parent with some embarrassment, pointed at the store, and said helplessly: "You have seen it too, I really can't get a replacement for my store. There are too many orders, and I really want to get some more books by Ms. JK, but..."
"Hey!" The angry parent, the children and parents around him all felt helpless and regretful about this kind of thing.
"Uh... sorry, excuse me!" Bruce asked the young mother who was comforting her child with some embarrassment.
"What's the matter with you?"
Bruce smiled at the child in the mother's arms, and then asked, "Excuse me, what kind of comic book is this? Why are the sales so hot?"
"This is a copy of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" written by Ms. JK from England"
"What? Harry Potter!!" Bruce asked in surprise. In his previous life, this work was the one that pushed JK Rowling to become a billionaire, especially the first one, which pushed him down. Life has been turned upside down. If I remember correctly, the publication date of this work was last year, which was first sold in the UK in 1997!
"That's right!" The young mother looked at Bruce with some doubts. There was basically no one who didn't know about this book that children, teenagers and even some adults knew, but the big boy in front of her didn't. This made her puzzled!
"Harry Potter!! Movies, peripherals, why didn't I think of it?" Regardless of the mother's doubts, Bruce became more and more excited as he thought about it. The ability is not comparable to that of ordinary novels or movies. Even Spiderman and Lord of the Rings, which have strong box office, do not have as much revenue as Harry Potter!
"Haha!. Uh..." Bruce laughed excitedly. He quickly ran to the side of the road and was about to open the car door. He suddenly thought of Warner Bros., which is closely related to Harry Potter, as if he was suddenly caught by a fishbone. , A deep sense of loss instantly overwhelmed him!
"Why, why didn't I travel a year earlier, damn it!!" Bruce opened the car door dejectedly, cursing a certain power with some inexplicable resentment.
How infuriating and helpless it is to feel that such a huge treasure is in front of your eyes, but you are only one step away.
Bruce drove the car with a gloomy face, and when he returned to the Warriors, he still had some unspeakable anger in his heart.
Chris looked at the displeased Bruce with some puzzlement. Although this guy hadn't been angry for a long time, it was obvious that there was anger lingering on his face now!
"Yang, this is you."
Before Chris could continue, Bruce, who had already been overwhelmed by anger, suddenly interrupted, saying, "Damn Warner, damn, damn!!"
A low growl came out of Bruce's mouth.
"Warner?" Chris asked in surprise.
"That's right! They got a fortune that can create tens of billions of dollars in the future, and I'm only one year short, I'm only one year short!! F..K!!!"
Chris looked at his friend in shock. Although he couldn't figure out the situation until now, he could still see a kind of frustration and anger that he had never seen on Bruce's face and expression!
"Dude! Can you tell me something!" After a long silence, Chris asked seriously.
"Do you know Harry Potter?"
"Of course! That book really is a classic children's book!"
After getting an affirmative answer, Bruce buried his head between his legs more and more frustrated, and said in a muffled voice: "That's it! It's the "Big Mac" worth tens of billions of dollars!!"
"what????"
