America's Big Hero

"Yes, I've decided, I like it after all." Sean smiled and put his arms around Dolan's shoulders, and said indifferently: "With so much money, you can't just think about work, work, or fucking work every day." Bar?"

"Always enjoy life. Isn't working hard to make money just to make yourself happier?"

"I like basketball, I can't play it, so I can buy it, and then let a group of NBA superstars play around me!"

"I'll just ask you, would the gorilla stop me for a layup!" Sean said with an 'arrogant' face!

Dolan shook his head, thought about it seriously, and said, "Don't dare, there are a dozen big men with submachine guns on the sidelines watching, he must be afraid of death! Even if you miss a layup, he will give it to you if you grab a rebound. You, and then hold you, let you hit him hard on the top of the head, and fall to the ground with a bang, whining like a defeated dog."

Otherwise, can Sean still have a fucking basketball dream?

Sean's face turned dark on the spot, you know it when you know it, it's disgusting to say it!

After all, the two burst out laughing. In front of the gorilla Ewing, Xiao En is such a small one, the scene is funny even thinking about it.

Dolan left and went back to find his father. He still agreed with Sean's words, the most important thing is to be happy.

If you like it, do it, it doesn't matter how much you spend.

I don't know if this guy will regret it when the market value of the Knicks rises to 50 billion in the future.

Of course, the cash you get now can also be invested. The situation of Dolan's family is different from that of Sean.

To put it bluntly, the Dolan family has only been inherited for a long time, with limited assets and limited cash flow. Rockefeller or Sean would feel that the large sum of money has nowhere to go, but they will not.

The investment projects and separated assets that Sean and the others looked down upon were already good investment projects for a small family like Dolan and the others with only a billion dollars in assets.

For example, Sean sold most of the disciplinary education companies and those construction-related companies.

Charles Dolan was a little dumbfounded when he heard his son say that Sean agreed immediately, no, you really bought it!

8 million, he felt that he was a lion, but now it seems that he is still missing...

Tangled!

……

Sean lay on the sofa and let out a very comfortable groan. For some reason, the money was gone again, but he felt relaxed...

Chapter 437: The True Value of the Knicks

"are you crazy?"

On the other end of the phone, the old man Shen Bi roared loudly, "Why are you buying the Knicks for 8 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 $8 million, he just felt that the value of Sean's investment was not high.

"Then do you think it's meaningful to increase Sean Bank's popularity?" 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!"

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

"It doesn't matter!" Shen Bi laughed and said, "It's only 8 million. If you have money, our bank has plenty of money!"

"Don't say 8 million, as long as you can get the land, and another 20 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 370 billion dollars." Shen Bihao laughed.

In the words of the old man, he dared to directly approve the loan of the current 370 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 8 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 8 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 6 million US dollars, and the land ownership is 13 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 customers."

"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 20 billion, 200 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 550 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.

8 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.
