American Fortune Life

All the financial pages are discussing whether there will be a solution to the current subprime mortgage crisis at the gathering of investment banks, banks, Paulson and Bernanke last night.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows very well that whether it is 40 billion or 80 billion, they are all sandbags. Is it useful to rely on a few sandbags to block rivers and burst embankments?

I have seen many reports calling for the government to bail out the market, and there have also been many voices against the bailout. Regarding the crisis caused by Wall Street, these voices are against using taxpayers' money to save the greedy vampires on Wall Street.

Make money! Make quick money, make big money, make all the prey money you can get right now! cost? Ghosts will care, that's something to talk about when the storm comes! It is because these Wall Street vampires are reckless about the consequences that this crisis has been triggered, and it is their own fault.

It's just that whether it's people on Wall Street or those who oppose the rescue of the market, they have seen a truth in the face of the storm and the violent waves of the cliff-like plunge in the past month and the panic in the market. Confidence--- -Only the recovery of confidence can really curb the galactic spiral of capital market recession, otherwise, from going to the Federal Reserve meeting in Mercedes-Benz to queuing up on the street to receive relief food, it will be overnight!

When Andy and Ivana walked out of the apartment building with their fingers clasped together, a large group of reporters and paparazzi squatting outside surrounded them with a whimper.

"Andy, have you reached a deal with Alexander?"

"Andy... I heard you're going to buy the Giants?"

"Ivana, there are rumors that you are pregnant..."

"Andy, what do you think of this economic crisis?"

. . . . . .

Andy frowned as he looked at the pile of flashing lights. Luckily, he was wearing sunglasses so they wouldn't flash into his eyes. The bodyguard stepped aside. It was impossible for the reporters to get close to him, let alone hand him the microphone, but The messy and noisy scene is still annoying.

Ivana was wearing sunglasses with white frames, holding hands with Andy, the smile on the corner of her mouth made her red lips lightly parted, and her white teeth were exposed, which showed that she was in a very good mood and did not avoid taking pictures of the reporters. Instead, he waved his hand gently.

After getting into the car and closing the door, Andy said depressingly: "This group of people is really endless."

Ivana smiled and said, "Aren't you very easy when you use them? The New York media have already taken good care of you, and being mean is their usual style."

"Ha~ It's not that I haven't seen their meanness,

When I bought the Observer newspaper, these bastards didn't stop taunting me and didn't bother to talk to them. "Andy laughed, adjusted his comfortable sitting posture, and put his hands on Ivana's slender white legs very naturally.

Since being with Andy, under Andy's tireless and tireless digging, in addition to being difficult to resist his boyfriend's flirtatious BO, he has also produced a unique charm, and the mature charm on his body is more and more attractive. heartbeat.

Ivana glanced sideways at her boyfriend, raised her leg, picked up a fashion magazine and read it as if nothing had happened.

Sending Ivana to the front of the CP building, watching his tall and plump girlfriend walk into the building surrounded by paparazzi, Andy couldn't help showing a slight smile on his mouth.

58th Floor, Newsweek Building, Manhattan.

Andy sat on the first seat of the large conference table in the meeting area of ​​the office, looking at the information in his hand, the CEO Granada of the legendary sports investment company that has been officially listed, Mawson from the football department, and the full authority to acquire the Tottenham club officially Representative David Dunn, chief think tank Alvetrie, and the newly formed acquisition team all waited quietly.

"Al, Granada, come with me to meet David Stern at noon. Although the resolutions of the NBA Board of Directors are usually just a formality, it is necessary to give face to all the team owners."

Andy said while quickly flipping through the internal information on the Houston Rockets in his hand.

"Okay, boss."

"By the way, Granada, hurry up and find the general manager of the team. This matter cannot be delayed. The original general manager, Carol Dawson, please come back to be the team's senior consultant. After all, he has been Olaju With the personal guidance of Wang and Dayao, he can still help Dayao when he comes back." Andy said with a slight frown when he saw the management list on the team information.

"Boss, Darryl Morey, the current assistant general manager of the team, is a good candidate. This is Alexander who was dug from the Celtics before. I communicated with Alexander. He was not only interested in Morey because of him. The identity of the vice president of the Celtics also includes his education and research work in "Sports Analysis Management" at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Morey's responsibilities at the Celtics mainly include venue operations, risk management, and basketball analysis. , ticket sales strategy, pricing and technical infrastructure.”

Hearing Granada's reply, Andy knew a little about the general manager of the Rockets named Morey. After all, because Dayao had read a lot of reports about the Rockets, he was a data expert.

His strengths are always maintaining salary space ****g, good at calculation, second-round Taobao, squeezing player contracts, to put it bluntly, he is stingy.

Weaknesses are also obvious. First-round picks generally focus too much on data and lack control over large transactions. To put it bluntly, they have poor connections.

Overall, he's still an excellent manager, but he's far from being a champion-level manager.

"Hehe, data expert? Do you plan carefully? I want a championship, I want to build a new dynasty, a luxury tax...hehe." Andy shook his head and laughed, and as his voice fell, everyone present has already served as the New York Red Bull Mawson, the chairman of the football team, and David Dunn, the future Tottenham chairman, couldn't help but look at each other. The boss also wants to play capital sports.

"Okay, after taking over the team, let him run a few players to test his ability, increase the strength of the bench, loosen Dayao, and take into account McGrady's injury, the team's head coach, etc. After we need to meet, listen to his thoughts, inform him, and ask him to come up with a plan."

Andy felt that there was no other good choice. After all, Morey was still very capable, and the operation of his previous life might also have an important factor in his pursuit of Alexander, the owner of the team.

You don’t have to think about money, you don’t have to think about the luxury tax to quote for stars, Morey’s business acumen should be fully utilized, don’t have to think about the past and the future, don’t think too much about money, maybe there will be surprises. indefinite.

"Kevin, I have two requests for the Giants. First, whichever quarterback, Peyton Manning or Tom Brady, bring me back to New York. Second, I want a super Bowl champion." Andy did not give Kevin Timm of the rugby team a chance to refuse, he didn't want to care about the process, he just wanted the result, let the New York Giants get rid of the fate of the big team, bring stars, and win , increase attendance.

Seeing Kevin's serious expression, Andy looked around and said with a smile: "Whether it's basketball, football, rugby or baseball, after the acquisition, I will give you 100 million US dollars in operating capital in the first year, and I will not Taking the money from the profits of the teams, I want the impact of the big stars, attendance and championships, so don't let me down, guys!"

The general managers who decided to take over the teams couldn't help sweating for a while. They really were rich and powerful, and they were not short of money. Before the team got their hands, one of them got 100 million US dollars in operating funds.

David Dunn really has a lot of emotions. He spent his whole life as a poor man at Arsenal, and now he can finally live a life of a local tyrant. No wonder the bastards in Chelsea are willing to be obedient even if they know that Abramovich is ordering blindly. Nima , This feeling of bulging pockets is indeed hard on the waist.

Kevin from the rugby team had a serious face and a bitter heart, but when he heard the big knife thrown at him by the boss who had caused him a big problem, he almost fainted. Although the rugby team is very valuable, rugby is also the most popular. Welcome sports, but the average salary of football players is only 2 million US dollars, and even the annual salary of a legendary quarterback cannot keep up with the salary of an NBA All-Star.

100 million dollars, Nima, although a football team has 53 players, the only one who really spends a lot of money is a quarterback. Funds can definitely make the Giants reborn, even push it to rebuild.

And Mawson, who has already taken over the New York Red Bulls, clenched his fists secretly. The Los Angeles Galaxy signed heartthrob David Beckham this summer. The Red Bull team he took over can be pushed to rebuilding, and it can also be paired with a world-class superstar, which can have a good effect if you think about it. Didn’t you sign Beckham, then I will sign Luis Figo!
