Chapter 1191 All-Stars Divide the Cake?

Li Ba ranked first on the celebrity list and sports list with an annual pre-tax income of 3.343 billion US dollars.

Forbes officially pointed out that this income does not include Li Ba's investment income, but only includes NBA salary and sponsorship income, of course, including Adidas's sky-high lifetime contract.

At the same time, Li Ba ranked 121st on the world's rich list with assets of 11.2 billion US dollars.

After her, Liu Yifei ranked 666th with assets of 3.3 billion US dollars.

This asset includes all the investments of the two, including shares of Apple and Tencent, Xianbei Entertainment, Xiandan Catering, and Xianbei Winery.

As soon as this ranking came out, it shocked the world.

"Do we have so much money?" Li Ba asked the girl.

The girl nodded with a smile and said, "The stock prices of Apple and Tencent have risen very fast and have been rising. The total value of both sides exceeds 5 billion US dollars."

"How much are the valuations of Xianbei Winery and Xianbei Catering?" Li Ba asked.

"The winery is valued at 400 million, the catering business is 1.3 billion, and the Senbei Entertainment business is 5.5 billion. But your 11.2 billion in assets is still wrong. This is before tax. You paid more than 1 billion in taxes on your lifetime contract. You should deduct these." The girl said.

Li Ba smiled and said, "Xixi, after Senbei Catering expands next year and goes public in the United States, how about we cash out some of our shares and set up a charity fund in China?"

"Okay." The girl smiled.

On the evening of the 21st, the main competition began.

The big names always arrive last, and Li Ba arrived late.

"Hey, Phil."

He greeted Phil Jackson outside first.

"Hey, Hammer."

Phil Jackson is the head coach of the Western Conference this year, and he smiled and greeted Li Ba.

After greeting, Li Ba pushed open the door of the Western All-Star locker room.

Inside were the best superstars of this season. The starters were Li Ba, Durant, Anthony, Kobe, and Paul, and the substitutes were Duncan, Westbrook, Griffin, Ginobili, Nowitzki, Deron Williams, and Kevin Love.

"Boss!"

Seeing Li Ba come in, Westbrook and other rookie brothers stood up and shouted.

"Hey, Hammer."

Whether it was superstars like Kobe and Duncan, or rookies like Durant, they all stood up to greet him. No one dared to put on airs in front of a tough guy like Li Ba who could beat an adult shark to death with his bare hands.

Similarly, money can make the gods, Li Ba's net worth is also the first among the league players, including Jordan's net worth is not as good as his, and even many small and medium-sized team owners are not as good as him. The net worth of the couple combined can rank in the top five among all the owners in the league, which also makes his status in the minds of these stars infinitely higher.

"As a shareholder of Senbei Restaurant, one good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Li Ba said with a smile.

"Good news." Westbrook shouted immediately.

"OK, the good news is that there is a venture capital that wants to invest in the Senbei restaurant chain, which shows that the venture capital is optimistic about the prospects of the restaurant."

Li Ba said with a smile.

"Oh, great!"

Most people cheered.

Anthony felt a little regretful. Although he had the same agent as Li Ba, he didn't buy shares because he didn't have a close relationship with Li Ba.

He looked around and found that there were only four people like him, Griffin, Durant, Deron Williams, and him. The other eight were all shareholders of Xianbei Restaurant.

Durant looked at Westbrook. It was really great to have someone to protect him. He was also a little envious. He now regretted not going to the fly-catching training camp.

Of course, what he didn't know was that he couldn't become Li Ba's younger brother even if he went there, because he already had an agent. He couldn't become Gao Yuanyuan's agent, and of course he couldn't be Li Ba's younger brother.

Kobe asked with some envy: "Iron Hammer, what's the specific situation?"

Li Ba smiled and said: "They are willing to invest $1.5 billion and take 51% of the shares."

Kobe immediately smiled and said: "It tripled in less than a season. This is really good."

Li Ba smiled and said: "Now let me tell you some bad news. I rejected them."

"Rejected?" Everyone was stunned.

Li Ba said, "Of course I have to refuse. How can you control the restaurant chain with $1.5 billion and then let me out? My Senbei Winery has signed a supply agreement with the restaurant. If you want to control both the restaurant and the winery with this little money, you can rack your brains. Even 3 billion is impossible."

"Boss, it's better to go public. If you lack funds, we can increase capital. We have so many people and we don't lack money." Westbrook shouted.

Li Ba nodded and said, "Of course, don't worry. Once the capital is increased, it will be calculated according to the original shareholding."

"This is a good idea." Kobe smiled with satisfaction.

He is one of the people who invested the most, which is very beneficial to him.

"Okay, now it's time to decide who will be the AMVP this year. What suggestions do you have?" Li Ba smiled.

"I, I, boss."

Westbrook has long known this unspoken rule in the Western All-Star locker room. Marbury told him, and he is eyeing the AMVP.

Li Ba calmed Westbrook down and said to him, "Your MVP day is coming, why are you in such a hurry now?"

"Boss, remember to line up for me." Westbrook reminded.

"Don't forget, everyone will take turns." Li Ba said.

Looking at Westbrook, Durant became more and more envious.

Li Ba looked at everyone and called them by name: "Dirk, Manu, you two are the oldest and have never won this honor. It's only one of you two who wants to sign up."

"I."

"I."

The two became energetic and quickly raised their hands.

They knew Li Ba's character very well, and there was nothing polite about it. No matter how polite he was, Li Ba would definitely make a decision directly.

"Who has more shares in Senbei?" Li Ba asked.

"Two million for me." Ginobili laughed.

Nowitzki's beard was blowing. He only invested one million US dollars. He made less money and lost his honor. He said dissatisfiedly: "Hammer, I want to increase my capital."

Li Ba smiled and said: "If I add you, you will still be less than Manu. This year it belongs to Manu, and next year you will be the first candidate."

"..."

The two ends were not close, and Nowitzki was furious.

Kobe fell down laughing, Hammer, your f*cking favoritism is too obvious, right?

He said to Li Ba: "Iron Hammer, what do you think the alliance would think if they knew that you decided on AMVP in this way?"

Li Ba smiled and said: "We make the decision on the locker room issues ourselves, no one can control it. This is our territory, we decide everything."

"..."

Kobe was helpless, but these words were true, and he was also furious.

"Kobe, leave it to you, communicate with Phil about the playing time." Li Ba said.

"OK."

Kobe got up and went out.

Anthony is an old man and has been used to this for a long time. There is nothing surprising, but Griffin, Durant, and Deron are stunned. Is this an All-Star? Is this a cake-splitting game? It's all up to him.
