The clock was ticking down to 4:30 PM on August 29th, the eleventh hour for a potential deal that would send Nanjing Tongxi's promising guard, Wang Lanqin, to the Beijing Beikong Fly Dragons. However, as the deadline approached, the chasm between the two clubs' valuations proved too wide to bridge, scuttling the negotiations and effectively ensuring Wang Lanqin would spend another season on loan with the Liaoning Flying Leopards.
Earlier that day, at the stroke of noon, Beikong was still actively pursuing the transfer, even going so far as to summon Wang Lanqin to Beijing, ready to ink the agreement. Despite these proactive measures, the exorbitant demands from Nanjing Tongxi proved to be the insurmountable obstacle.
展开剩余82%The crux of the issue lay in Nanjing Tongxi's insistence on a permanent transfer, severing all ties with the young player. They reportedly slapped a staggering 40 million yuan price tag on Wang Lanqin, seemingly drawing a parallel to the recent, high-profile transfer of Zhao Rui to the Beijing Shougang Ducks. Tongxi's rationale was that if Shougang readily paid a reported 160 million yuan for Zhao Rui, shouldn't Wang Lanqin be worth at least a quarter of that sum?
Beikong, however, viewed the situation through a different lens. They were willing to offer around 20 million yuan, a figure more in line with their acquisition of Chen Guohao from Guangdong Southern Tigers, which cost them a mere 15 million yuan. The significant disparity between Tongxi's inflated asking price and Beikong's valuation, meant that even Tongxi's last minute concession wasn't enough to reach a consensus.
The fundamental flaw in Nanjing Tongxi's negotiation strategy was their reliance on Zhao Rui as a benchmark. Objectively, Wang Lanqin, while talented, does not yet possess the pedigree or proven track record of a player like Zhao Rui. To secure a deal, Tongxi needed to temper their expectations and adopt a more realistic valuation.
From Beikong's perspective, their strategy was simple: leverage the funds acquired from the Chen Guohao deal, adding a small premium to secure Wang Lanqin's services. Their willingness to invest up to 20 million yuan fell far short of Tongxi's sky-high demands.
Ultimately, these divergent perspectives on Wang Lanqin's market value led to the breakdown in negotiations.
With the CBA's transfer deadline looming just 48 hours before the official registration cutoff on August 31st, time ran out. As a result, Wang Lanqin will remain with the Liaoning Flying Leopards, a situation that might actually benefit the reigning champions.
Liaoning's backcourt depth has been depleted due to the suspensions of Zhang Junhao and Huang Qiushi, as well as the departures of Liu Yanyu and Zhao Shuizhou to the Jilin Northeast Tigers. With veteran Zhao Jiwei another year older, Wang Lanqin's role in the team becomes even more crucial.
Conversely, Beikong's roster is already overflowing with guards. The additions of Fan Huiliu from Shanxi Loongs and Fang Jiachen from Sichuan Blue Whales, coupled with existing talents like Ding Baiyu, Fei Yichen, Zhang Fan, Liao Saning, and Li Bingcong, means that Wang Lanqin's impact on the team would likely be marginal. Even with Wang Lanqin in the fold, Beikong would likely remain a fringe playoff contender.
Thus, fate has intervened, seemingly guiding Wang Lanqin towards the team where he is arguably needed the most.
