By the way, he himself is also the greatest owner in NBA history.
"Three-peat, second three-peat! Often harder and more impressive than the first one."
This is the line he tells everyone he meets, but he rarely mentions the "four-peat," which doesn't match his usual style.
The reason is simple: his attention is temporarily not on basketball, as his business empire has other matters to worry about.
In order to consolidate his assets, in 1992, Tang Jianguo founded a new service company, controlled by him and his family.
This was an empty shell company without even an office. Its main purpose was to shift assets from one hand to the other to avoid taxes and liquidate assets.
Besides the Portland Trail Blazers, his Atlantic Hotel, casino, resort hotel, and airline all filed for bankruptcy protection.
Compared to managing these industries, Tang Jianguo started to focus more on managing himself, his name, image, and personal brand.
