In the world of business and sports, Tsai's name has become a legend [China Praise] [Scattering Flowers]. Four years ago, he bought the NBA's Brooklyn Nets for $2.35 billion, a decision that caused an uproar at the time. Now, despite the team's sluggish record, the team has a 13-12 record so far this season [present], which is ninth in the Eastern Conference and on the edge of the play-in zone.
Facing strong opponents such as Green Deer and Ferge, the Nets do face a lot of challenges if they want to enter the playoffs, coupled with the team's lack of real stars, Simmons' injury, and Bridges and Thomas's inconsistent performances, putting the team in an embarrassing situation. But in terms of market capitalization, Tsai's investment has already paid off enormously. Four years have passed, how much did Tsai Chongxin earn from this investment? The reaction of netizens can be described in four words - unbelievable [surprise] [surprise].
First, let's look back at the moment when Joe Tsai bought the Nets. At the time, the deal was considered one of the largest in the history of the NBA [666][666]. The Nets are not just a basketball team, it is a shining business gem. Brooklyn, New York, has a unique geographical location and business potential, which makes the Nets not only have a huge influence in the sports field, but also have a high value in the commercial market.
Tsai Chongxin's investment can be said to be very shrewd [witty] [witty]. Over the past four years, the Nets have not only made significant progress on the court, but also achieved significant growth in commercial value. It is estimated that the current value of the Nets has far exceeded the amount of Tsai's original investment.
Specifically, the Nets' value growth comes from several aspects. The first is the team's performance and the star effect [fist bump]. With the team's performance improving and star players joining, the Nets have attracted a lot of fans and attention, which has directly driven the growth of box office revenue and merchandise sales. The second is the enhancement of brand value. As the team's popularity has increased, so has the Nets' brand value, which has led to more opportunities for the team to work together [handshake].
More importantly, with the globalization of the NBA, the Nets' influence in the international market is also expanding. This allows the team to attract more international sponsors and partners, bringing more revenue to the team. According to the latest valuation, the Nets' market capitalization has reached $3.98 billion, ranking 13th in the league [China Like], on par with the Suns, who have a big three. This means that Tsai's investment has increased by $1.63 billion in just four years[666][gift].

Some netizens said, "This is simply a stroke of genius [kneeling], Tsai Chongxin's business vision is really powerful [China Praise]!"
