Chapter 650 Willing to Be a Bridge

Of course not!

Andy complained in his heart, but he didn't show a superfluous expression on his face, but said with a smile: "Mr. Stitch, of course there is no problem with cooperation, and I am willing to cooperate with you to manage the Giants well. After all This is an old NFL team. If I take over the team from the Mara family, I will adjust the lineup next. My goal is the world championship and the Super Bowl!"

Listening to Andy's words, Preston nodded to show his understanding. He knew that the smiling young man in front of him was waiting for him to ask, so he had no choice but to ask, "So, how much does it cost?"

Andy chuckled and said, "It doesn't take much in the first year. You and I each spend 100 million dollars on player transfers. It won't take long to turn the Giants into a championship team."

Preston twitched at the corner of his mouth, shook his head and laughed, and said helplessly: "You are using money to squeeze me away, well, young man, you have won, let your team contact me, and negotiate a good price , the 49% of the 100 million US dollars belongs to you!"

"Thank you!" Andy knew what he was doing and the other party must understand what was going on. If the other party was not short of money like him and dared to play gold dollar football like this, this move would be nothing. Use, but now it seems that it is not the master who is not short of money.

After chatting for a few more words, Ivana appeared next to Andy at the right time, and Andy hugged her waist, shuttling through the crowd of guests. For this kind of social occasion, Ivana was like a fish in water, showing her charm Let the guests be amazed.

"Apart from the Rockets, do you still want to buy the New York Giants?" Warren Buffett and his wife were chatting in a small circle with William III and Amanda, the heads of the Hearst family. After walking over with Ivana in his arms, he asked.

"Yes, I like sports. Although I don't play basketball or rugby very well, I think owning a team would be a good choice and a good investment project." The sharp arrow light chose to avoid it, and answered Buffett's question directly.

The people next to him could only look enviously at Andy's big spending. The Rockets plus the Giants need at least 500 to 600 million US dollars. God, what an enviable young man!

At this moment, Ivana was also very proud, and inadvertently met Amanda's eyes. If it was changed, you could see sparks flashing in the eyes of the two women.

"It's a good idea, I'm really surprised. At your age, your financial philosophy tends to be conservative. I thought you would continue to invest in the financial market." Although William III Hearst knew that his niece was a little entangled with Andy , but the elders will naturally not get involved in the affairs of the younger generations,

But the young man Andy's excellence is indeed rarely comparable to him. Thinking of something, he smiled and said to Andy: "Your Liberty City technology company, if you want to raise money, remember to call me a phone call!"

His words immediately attracted the attention of a group of people, and they immediately thought that apart from setting up two funds and doing some benefit sharing, Andy's companies have been eating alone.

Win-win cooperation, benefit sharing, and equal sharing of glory are generally the development models of American companies. Of course, eating alone is okay, but you must also be prepared to solve everything yourself. Looking at the miserable status quo of America Online, you can understand that eating alone in the United States is definitely not a good thing.

"Yes, but its value is not enough. Now it is still a baby, the user needs explosive growth, and the profit plan needs to come up with a solution. If these two points are achieved, it is the most suitable time for financing!" Speaking here, An Di smiled confidently, "It has this potential, and it is not just a tool for sending free text messages. It is only the initial version, and there are many powerful functions that have not been added. It will be unavailable for every mobile phone. An indispensable application that no one can do without!"

"Andy, you have a genius brain, you can make a lot of money every time you come up with something, you have to be admirable." A billionaire investment company said with envious eyes.

And this sentence has been recognized by everyone around. When P passes through the difficult period at the beginning, as the number of users continues to increase, the value of Wattsup will go further, but it will attract more investors to gather in it. Come in.

Ivana held Andy's arm, kept an elegant posture, looked at the time, and whispered in Andy's ear: "Honey, it's almost time, the dinner can begin."
