America’s Big Hero

"are you crazy?"

On the other end of the phone, the old man Shen Bi roared loudly, "Why are you buying the Knicks for 800 million?"

"You can neither change the name of the team nor the name of the arena. There is no advertising benefit. Do you still need an NBA team to increase your popularity!"

What the old man didn't care about was the $800 million, he just felt that the value of Sean's investment was not high.

"Then do you think it's meaningful to increase the popularity of Sean Bank?" Sean asked with a sneer.

"Ahem, I think it's very meaningful for you to buy Arsenal in London and build a brand new stadium for Arsenal, named Sean Stadium." Shen Bi coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "Football, football , that is the number one sport in the world, the social business card of Europe, whether you are a banker or a politician, whether you are a president or a civilian, owning a well-known football club is a business card in Europe, which is more conducive to our opening up in Europe !"

"Heh, if I didn't know that your whole family is a diehard Arsenal fan, I would fucking believe it!" Sean snorted coldly.

"It has nothing to do with being an Arsenal fan. Don't question my professional ethics. Besides, it's football. Is it comparable to breaking the NBA?" The old man Shen Bi quit immediately.

"What is breaking the NBA, I like it!"

"Okay, why not, then don't touch the money in the bank!" Old man Shen Bi sneered.

"Then after I move to Madison, the building built on the land will not be used by Sean Bank!" Sean sneered.

"Huh!" Old man Shen Bi regained his energy. I'm not sleepy when you say this, "It must be built. It will be taller and more luxurious than the HSBC Building!"

"800 million, it's very expensive!" Sean said eccentrically.

"It doesn't matter!" Shen Bi laughed and said, "It's only 800 million. If you have money, our bank has plenty of money!"

"Don't say 800 million, as long as you can get the land, and another 2 billion, the bank will be fine!"

"Shawn Bank's status cannot be without a decent headquarters!"

"Looking back, you apply for a new land with the city government and build a new arena."

"Really?" Sean was startled.

"What's the real thing? Didn't I tell you last time, the monthly credit line is 37 billion dollars." Shen Bihao laughed.

In the words of the old man, he dared to directly approve the loan of the current 37 billion amount. This is because Sean asked for stable operation results, otherwise he dared to take it out several times.

The problem now is that Sean's banking business is not that extensive, and the money is in his hands and he can't get a loan, so he is crazy.

Of course, the kind of people who want to take the cash away after the loan will never give the loan, let them go!

"We, Sean Bank, are not short of money now. What we are short of are investment projects, events that have caused a sensation in the United States and the world, and what we lack is a display platform that matches our status and future expectations."

"Your idea is very good, the acquisition of the Knicks can be completed with Sean Bank!"

"Come here with great fanfare, we must let people in the United States and the world know about this matter!"

"The 800 million advertisement, have you passed it?" Sean was speechless for a while, and he could only say that he is indeed a business elite, and the speed of changing his face is really fast.

"First, this is not just an advertisement, it is an asset. It is increasing in value rather than depreciating with the currency. Second, it is not a one-day advertisement that is permanent. Third, there is too much money to spend, and the virtual Exchanging credit for the team is making money in itself.”

"If you can get the land again, it will be a huge profit."

"It's not that easy, and we have to persuade the New York City government to find a place for the new stadium. Manhattan has every inch of land, so it's not that easy!" Sean snorted coldly, and put on a posture.

"That's for others!" Shen Bi laughed and flattered, "Who are you?"

"You are Sean!"

"It's hard for others, but for you, Sean Rockefeller, it's still not easy!"

"Huhuhahaha... If you can talk, just say more!" Sean couldn't help laughing.

Shen Bi, an old gangster, only tastes so sweet when he competes with HSBC!

It can be seen that HSBC kicked Shen Bi out at the beginning, it really hurt the old man's heart, although he usually doesn't talk about it, he can hold his grudge.

"You are no longer what you used to be. You are already forming a rudimentary consortium, and your investment ideas have to change accordingly. In the past, you invested in industries, but now you invest in industries."

"In the past, if you invested hundreds of millions at a time, it was considered very high, because you didn't have that much capital, but now it's different, you can mobilize billions and tens of billions of funds at every turn, and the industry simply can't afford such a company with an ordinary amount of funds. , will kill them!"

"In the past, when you invested, you looked at short-term profits, but now, you have to look at long-term profits. It's still the same sentence. Your status is different. You don't need to pay attention to making money for a while!"

After chatting for a while, the phone was hung up, and the matter was settled.

Sean didn't have to worry about the rest. He gave the old Dolan 800 million dollars, which was enough to mobilize the old guy's enthusiasm and run away for this matter.

Sure enough, within a few days, Dolan sent news that his father had persuaded Martin Davis that Gulf Western Industries had agreed to sell the property rights and land of Madison Gardens. It was just the price, and it was indeed more beautiful.

Madison Garden is priced at 600 million US dollars, and the land ownership is 1.3 billion US dollars.

At this price, Sean only stuck out his tongue when he heard it, it's too fucking expensive!

Xiao En contacted Shen Bi, and Shen Bi answered very simply, "It's a bit more expensive, but it's okay, just one word, buy it!"

According to Shen Bi, this is fixed asset investment, and the land on Manhattan Island is the most valuable fixed asset investment in the world.

More valuable than gold!

"I made a request to Gulf West Industries, not to ask Gulf West to put the settlement business in Sean Bank, but Gulf Corporation needs to settle the money in our bank. Even if it can't keep all of it, it can keep most of it. Get a bunch of clients."

"Even if it needs to be settled with other banks, it is an internal matter of the banking system. In fact, it may not be able to spend much money."

"Besides, what is spent is credit, and the most valuable land in exchange is more valuable in the hands of the bank than in the hands of cash. Cash will gradually depreciate over time, but the land in Manhattan is not meeting!"

"Do you know what that means!"

"Unless the United States is no longer the world's largest country, otherwise, it is impossible to reduce the price of land here, and there will never be a shortage of buyers!"

"If you can exchange your reputation for valuable land or real estate, let alone 2 billion, 20 billion will be fine. I'm afraid you won't find so many valuable land and real estate!"

"You're wrong, I can really find it!" When Shen Bi mentioned it, Xiao En suddenly thought of something. The old man Huang from Chinatown in New York had approached him twice before, and he felt that there was no money to be made, so he Give up.

Now it seems that it's not that there is no money to make, but that he doesn't know how to make money!

"You really have it?" Old man Shen Bi was startled, "Really? Tell me!"

"Look, this matter is not in a hurry. After I finish the matter in front of me, no one else can earn the money!" Sean laughed and sold a lawsuit.

Even if the matter is roughly settled here, most of the remaining things only need to be completed by the people below, but Sean still needs to go through a formality.

According to the regulations of the NBA, a team ownership transaction must obtain the consent of other owners of 29 teams, which is considered a legal transaction.

The headquarters of the NBA League Association is located in the Olympic Tower Building at 645 Fifth Avenue in New York. A general meeting will be held here to vote together to decide whether to agree to the transaction.

The bosses of the other 28 teams all came this time, just under the umbrella of the performance of sudden and frenzied murder during the Los Angeles riots. The Bass family in Los Angeles must give Sean this face.

Although the Boston Consortium competes with Rockefeller, it will definitely not interfere with this matter.

As for the other bosses...

In the conference room, Sean folded his arms and looked around.

Sean wants to buy the Knicks, who is in favor and who is against!

Well, this sentence was asked by David Stern.

As a result, everyone raised their hands and applauded in agreement.

Not to mention anything else, now Sean is also one of everyone's benefactor fathers, and the NBA's latest 4-year broadcasting rights were bought by New Century Sports and Fox Sports.

It is the admission of Sean and Murdoch that makes the brand value of NBA teams higher, and eventually the money will be evenly distributed among all 29 teams.

This will not only increase the annual income of each team by 5.5 million, but more broadcast exposure will make stadium advertisements sell better and drive greater income.

Especially David Stern, he very much welcomes Sean to invest in the NBA, which shows that the money scene of the NBA is optimistic, and he hopes that more rich people will join in, make it bigger and stronger, and create greater glories!

After voting, another banquet was held, Sean naturally became the focus of everyone, who made Sean rich and controlled the media.

Except for the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers who are not lacking in exposure, the owners of other teams can't wait to jump up and hug Sean's thigh directly.

In the past, there were only three wireless free TV stations broadcasting live broadcasts, and the number of games was very small. Except for the black and white rivals, the Green Kai and the Lakers, only the Knicks had three national live broadcasts. If other teams want to be exposed nationwide, they can only count on following two The teams played against each other.

And the chances of a live broadcast of the fight are also very low...

In short, it may not be possible to live broadcast across the United States for a whole year. The situation is so bad that we can only count on local TV stations.

Last year, apart from the Green Kay, the Lakers, and the Knicks, Chicago had the most money because of Jordan twice.

How miserable!

After dealing with the bosses of each team, Sean found Stern alone. In his previous life, there was a lot of rumors about Stern squatting in front of CCTV in winter in order to develop the Chinese market.

Of course, I don't know if it's true or not.

Sean chatted with Stern about the overseas market, and Stern immediately felt like meeting a confidant.

Hearing that Stern hadn't gone to China yet, Sean smiled and said broadly, "You don't have to worry about CCTV, I'll take care of it for you, just a phone call."

Stern was overjoyed. Naturally, he would not suspect that Sean was bragging. The upper class in the United States knew that the Rockefeller family had broken the ice in East-US relations and invested in the East for nearly a hundred years.

And Sean is fluent in Chinese, and the case with the three Japanese companies that had been making a lot of noise before was the agent that the umbrella picked up from the east.

Therefore, Stern has no doubt that Sean's shot will definitely cause waves in the NBA in the East.

After everything is done, a press conference will be held to the outside world.

At this time, there was no news from the outside world.

The main thing is that things are too sudden, and the speed of the transaction is too fast.

800 million, just pay for it. Under normal circumstances, it is normal for such a big deal to be negotiated for a year or so.

Therefore, when the NBA officials and the Knicks jointly held a press conference, all the people who came were puzzled. It wasn't long before they signed broadcasting contracts with New Century and Fox, so what's the big news?

David Stern attached great importance to the change of ownership of the Knicks, so he personally presided over the meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have some news to tell you. Just now, the alliance headquarters approved a transaction."

"Mr. Dolan transferred the ownership of the New York Knicks to Mr. Sean Rockefeller. Here, we are very grateful to the Dolan family for their hard work to the Knicks. We also welcome Mr. Sean to join the NBA family. .”

Wow... the scene exploded in an instant!

The Dolan family does have a reputation in New York, but that's it. There are many rich and powerful families in New York, and the Dolan family is not ranked high.

But Sean is different!

Even if Rockefeller is not mentioned, Sean himself is famous all over the United States. Who doesn't know that the umbrella private military contractors are all over the world, bombing YL, defeating the Malay government army, defeating the Moroccan government army, making the United States famous.

That is to say, in the United States, how many people have been killed by Umbrella over the years... how many big cases have been done...

Uh... After thinking about it, it seems that everything is about murder.

Therefore, many reporters present had strange expressions on their faces. They wanted to know how the players of other NBA teams are feeling now?

When playing against the Knicks again, will there be any pressure?

Anyway, I don't know if the players of other teams are under pressure. The Knicks players were asked to watch TV together, and they were all dumbfounded at the moment.

No, it's time to change the boss?

Is it so sudden?

sean...

"Ewing, do you understand...uh, our new boss?" Mark Jackson looked at the 70-year-old man beside him with a sad face.

"Of course I understand that the Peace Hotel is great, and he is also the owner there, so maybe we can get a discount when we go to the Peace Hotel in the future!" Ewing said with a wry smile.

Back then, the Golden Club became famous because Ewing helped promote it...

Pure old color batch!

"You know, that's not what I'm talking about!" Mark Jackson spread his hands.

"Otherwise, what do you want me to say?" Ewing rolled his big lips, and said angrily: "Say there will be a dozen soldiers with umbrellas holding guns on the sidelines during training, who the hell Slack in training and shoot him hard in the ass?"

"No way!!" There was a miserable howl in the locker room.

Coach Rick Pitino also frowned. He also didn't know about the team's change of owner before. The new owner is so young, and it is said that he has an explosive temper, is ruthless, and kills people without blinking an eye. This...

In the future, if the boss interferes with the team's training or tactics, should I agree?

I disagree, the boss will not throw me into the sea to feed the sharks, will he?

In addition, what should I do if my grades are not good?

Will he be beaten?

In this matter, let alone the players have no bottom, and his head coach has no bottom either.

Fortunately, the team manager has been promised that Sean will not fire him, at least not this year.

In the TV, at the conference site, after a burst of noise, the reporters asked in a hurry, "Mr. Stern, how much is the transaction price?"

"Let the two sides answer this question by themselves." Stern waved with a smile, and Sean and Old Dolan walked up to the rostrum with a smile.

The two signed autographs in front of everyone, exchanged ideas with each other, and finally shook hands for everyone to take pictures. In the end, Sean relented and gave old Dolan the opportunity to stand out.

"We can be sure that Mr. Sean is a sports fan who likes the NBA and the Knicks team very much. He is a die-hard Knicks fan. For the Knicks, Mr. Sean is willing to give everything. The transaction price this time is $800 million!"

800 million! !

As soon as the price was revealed, everyone at the scene, including the audience in front of the TV, was blown up!

It is foreseeable that this matter will definitely be scheduled for tomorrow's front page headlines, "Shocking deal in the NBA, the Knicks are worth $800 million!" "

"Rockefeller is optimistic about the prospects of the NBA, and the market value of NBA teams is ushering in a blowout"

The market value mentioned earlier was all false, and the real money is the final conclusion.

Of course, more people think that Sean is crazy, spending so much money to buy the Knicks, isn't it a loss?

800 million, not 80 million!

Not enough, at this moment everyone is convinced that Sean must have true love for basketball and the Knicks!

If it wasn't true love, it wouldn't pay so much money.

In addition, old Dolan is making money!

In fact, other team owners don't know how much they envy Old Dolan, and they can't wait to show their hearts. If you don't need 800 million, 80 million, I will sell it to you!

After the noisy press conference was over, Sean finally calmed down. Don't care about the publicity, the New Century will handle it well.

Sean Bank will also release information to the public after that. It is very interesting to see that the American Sports League has acquired 100% of the equity of the Knicks team.

As for Sean, he is already in Madison Square Garden right now, and he wants to take a good look at this big toy that cost 800 million to buy.

There was a game in the evening, and everyone from the team was there. When they heard that the boss was coming, the general manager of the team took them with him to the underground parking lot to greet him.

Sean got out of the car and saw the gorilla at a glance. Good guy, he didn't think so from a distance, but he looked really tall and strong up close, stronger than Torre, who is two meters tall!

The 13 members of the team, plus the coaching team, plus the management team all arrived and stood neatly in two rows.

As soon as they saw Sean get off the car, they immediately shouted at the same time: "Welcome boss!"

All of them had smiles on their faces, and their attitudes were particularly correct.

Sean glanced at the old Dolan next to him. Before coming, the old Dolan told him that the team's atmosphere is iron and blood, and these players are also very rebellious. Now it seems that this is obviously not the case.

The attitude is modest and polite, very good!

The corner of Old Dolan's mouth twitched, and his eyes swept over the management and players. When I came here before, you fucking didn't look like this!

He also said that the players are training and should not disturb them. I want to go to the training hall when I see the players. When the players see him, they just say hello with a smile.

Especially the nigger who looks like a gorilla, the most arrogant!

What about your rebelliousness?

Everyone has become a doorman, right?

Ewing: If you go out with 15 bodyguards with live ammunition, we will have a correct attitude!

Yes, the parking lot is now under martial law. Fifteen bodyguards with live ammunition are murderous. For some reason, when I see them, my mood suddenly becomes peaceful!

Old Dolan certainly knew why, but that's why he was angry. Isn't this just saying that he is soft!

Even if you express your respect to the new boss, you can't change the time.

Management: No change, first impression is very important.

Sean smiled and walked to Ewing, who was standing in the first row of the player team, raised his hand and punched Ewing in the chest, "You are the gorilla!"

Ewing grinned wide, raised his hand and hit his chest without hesitation, really like a gorilla.

Old Dolan lowered his head and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, he couldn't see, what about morality? What about arrogance?

Sean smiled and shook hands with the gorilla, that hand was really big.

Then there's Mark Jackson, and Sean looks down at the guy's ass, which is really big.

When it came to Old Oak Charles Oakley, Sean also punched this guy, "I heard you fight well?"

"Hehe, hehe." The old oak tree man was dumbfounded, he could only laugh.

"Do you know the boxing match in the underground of the Peace Hotel?"

Old Oak nodded.

"You are still too immature to fight. I will arrange someone to train you during the offseason!" Sean said with a smile.

The coach next to him, Rick Pitino, really wanted to hold Sean down. If he didn't teach him, he would already be a famous villain on the court. Are you trying to kill someone?

However, considering safety issues, Rick Pitino chose to keep his mouth shut.

After exchanging pleasantries, Sean and a group of people came to the arena. He was still curious about how to train, so he chose to stay on the sidelines, chatting with the management, and watching the players train.

When Sean is here, or in a public place, is it normal for a few bodyguards to follow him?

So, at the beginning of the training, Ewing raised his hand and slapped himself hard, you stinky mouth!

What did you say, there are really soldiers with guns standing on the sidelines watching the training?

Everyone looked at Ewing with bad eyes.

However, there is nothing to say about the training attitude. If it weren't for the fear that too much training would damage the players, Rick Pitino would have wanted Sean to send some soldiers to the training hall!

That is to say, they didn't know that the coach had such a dangerous idea. If they knew, the players would definitely dare to kneel down to the coach.

On the sidelines, Sean stood with the management team and said slowly: "I know that the NBA is not only a league, but also the ways of the world. If I don't understand, I won't join in."

"We still need Mr. Xiao En's guidance!" The manager said quickly.

"However, as the management, you also have to make achievements for me." Sean showed his own management philosophy, and gave the most sincere greetings when they met for the first time, "I don't want people to be superfluous, and I don't want to Hopefully someone poachs the Knicks for personal gain."

"I will not lose one point for the salary that should be given. I am a generous boss, but if anyone does something that is sorry for the team or me, then I will send his whole family to Africa to develop a basketball career! "

"Do you understand everything!"

"Understood!" The management shouted in unison.

Dolan: He threatened you, why don't you ask a lawyer to sue him?

What about your arrogance? What about your temper? What about your dignity?

The Dolan father and son on the side were stunned. Is this Xiao En's management philosophy?

Learning is useless, study is useless!

...
