The Celtics officially announced that with unanimous approval from the NBA Council, the investment group led by William Chisholm has officially completed the acquisition of Celtics' equity, with the acquisition amount of US$6.1 billion.

On the list of new shareholders, Ho Youjun, son of Macau gambling king Stanley Ho, is also among them. He previously studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston, and during this period he became a Celtic fan.

Ho Youjun has a wide business presence in recent years. After his Star Competition Weiwu Group was listed on Nasdaq, Nasdaq Vice Chairman Bob McCooey Calling He Youjun the "youngest founder of a Nasdaq listed company in Asia"

While studying in Boston, he met some friends who worked on Wall Street. These people took the initiative to remind him of the opportunity to become a shareholder of the Celtics. Then He Youjun began to seriously think about the possibility of this matter. In an interview with He Youjun, the media talked about his becoming a shareholder of the Celtics. He said that everyone knew that the Celtics were going to be sold, which was also a rare opportunity to become a shareholder of the NBA team, because the NBA has not transferred the team for more than 20 years. The selection and bidding process is very difficult, and it also requires layers of background review and vote with the people of the other 29 teams to agree.

He Youjun claimed that at the beginning, he didn't dare to think about becoming a shareholder of the Celtics, because it was really not easy to become a member of the NBA team. Not only in the process, but the entire selection process is very difficult. The energy of being able to become a boss of a team in the league cannot be underestimated. Being able to become a shareholder of the Celtics this time can be considered fulfilling one of his dreams. Founded in 1946, the Boston Celtics are one of the most legendary teams in the history of professional sports, with 18 NBA championship trophys and more than 40 Hall of Fame members.
