"Bang Bang—"

The applause in the conference room was quite enthusiastic, and the News Corp. negotiator with a smile on his face handed Andy the signed contract, "Mr. Smith, the Dodgers are yours." ”

Andy's chin raised slightly, he took the contract with an indifferent expression, took the cash check envelope that Torrey Black sent to him from behind, and handed it to the other party, "500 million US dollars also belong to your News Corporation, this is a good deal." ”

"It's worth the price, isn't it? Well, we're happy to work together!"

Andy bowed slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Happy cooperation! ”

When everyone who thought the transaction was over was about to applaud again to celebrate, Andy's words changed, and everyone was almost suffocated, only to see the young billionaire stretch out a finger in the air, "Then there is one more thing I want you to tell Fox TV, the broadcast right is the most valuable asset of the Dodgers, and the broadcast agreement signed before needs to be renegotiated, okay, thank you... ”

The people of News Corp. were very happy one by one, but after hearing Andy's words, their faces couldn't help but change drastically, and the negotiator was even more sinky and smiled bitterly in his heart.

It's really ruthless!

Seeing Andy Smith, who no longer paid attention to them and walked to the main chair to sit down in the main chair amid all the complicated gazes in the conference room, everyone let out the same exclamation.

The previous moment the transaction was pleasant, cordial greetings, the next moment the transaction was reached, turning the face like a book, no wonder it was able to rise like a rocket in such a short period of time, and it was as ruthless and decisive as the outside world evaluated.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very depressing, even after the people from News Corp left, everyone present did not dare to breathe, and secretly looked at the young boss who was sitting a little lazy.

"Sit down, irrelevant people and annoying people have left, everyone present is your own people, everyone is free. ”

Everyone heard the young boss's somewhat clear voice and the sunny smile on his face, and the tight string in his heart also relaxed, but no one in the team's management felt that the young boss with a handsome appearance and a gentle smile in front of him was easy to deal with, but an invisible pressure enveloped everyone.

"Granada, you've had experience managing a baseball team, and you're the general manager of the Dodgers, and you're going to invest $100 million to renovate the stadium and build the facilities around the stadium.

My goal is to create a stadium with more than 56,000 seats, and you should know how big the flow of people is on the match day, and the economic benefits that can be generated will be very considerable.

At present, the United States is suffering from the bursting of the housing bubble and the subprime mortgage crisis, the economic situation is very bleak, the global economy has been affected, the end time is also for it, companies will lay off a large number of employees, the number of unemployed will also increase, and our business district around the stadium will drive the development of the surrounding economy to a certain extent, create huge business opportunities, negotiate with the Los Angeles City government, and get preferential policies and surrounding land.

Granada, you are in charge of this, the results of the team are the top priority, the funds in the team are enough for you to operate and bring in good players, find a good manager, so don't let me down!"

"Boss, we are currently chasing the famous coach of the New York Yankees, Joe Torrey, his contract with the Yankees has expired, because of our joining, he is waiting to sell, although the Yankees have increased his annual salary to 4 million, but he still doesn't seem to be very satisfied, we offer an annual salary of 4.2 million, so that the other party sways... ”

Andy saw that it was the director of operations of the original management, and the other party didn't seem to have the trembling of others, but reported directly with an indifferent face, and did not feel at a loss because of a new boss.

"15 million in 3 years! He will come, Giottori's ability is undoubted, to be honest, I have been a Yankee fan since I was a child, but now that I am the owner of the Dodgers, the Yankees are naturally my enemies, dig into the corners of the enemy, and be courageous!"

Hearing the words of the new owner, everyone couldn't help but smile, and the atmosphere was also relaxed, they all saw the media reports in the newspaper, and knew that their new owner was a die-hard fan of the Yankees, who had often attended the Yankees' championship celebration since he was a child, and was also familiar with George Steinbrenner, the owner of the Yankees, and it was also an in-depth report made by the media when they speculated that Andy might buy the New York Yankees.

"California is a continent of immigrants, the number of Asians and spending power must not be ignored, our Dodgers are famous, just like Real Madrid and Barcelona in the football world, it is a giant that many baseball players yearn for, baseball in the baseball country and the footbasin country also have good leagues, go find two or three to come, bring the Asian Americans in Los Angeles to the field, and the Chinese, don't there are several players in the major leagues in the Celestial Empire? ”

Andy naturally knows how to fight for the Asian market, you know, Asians are much richer than ordinary Americans, especially Asian immigrants in California, who can pull this group of people into the stadium, and the attendance rate of the 56,000-seat stadium is enough to guarantee.

"Boss, we have a crooked fielder who has risen from the small league, and on September 1st, Hu Jinlong officially reported to the team. ”

"Well, you can take a look at the ability first, do some publicity, arrange a few media interviews, and everyone remember, it's the bend of the Celestial Empire! Don't make any moths for me, understand? Our Dodgers team has always had a major problem, the starting pitchers can't provide high-quality starters, and the backup pitchers often collapse and can't defend the city, so, solve this problem, I want the championship!"

The meeting is over, everyone is in a different mood, each with their own thoughts, but in general, the new owner is very good, at least he understands baseball, and he is not bad for money, think about the old guy McCourt before, not only slammed the door, but also embezzled the team's funds, there is really no comparison.

Maybe the Dodgers are really going to rise, and the market development department is the happiest department. The plan for the business district around the stadium has been launched, and the plan pressed in the filing cabinet has also been turned out for the first time, and the smile on the face of the director Jerry has not dissipated since he came out of the conference room, and he rushed out of the office with the plan and went straight to the general manager's office.

"The Dodgers will be handed over to you, the team's results, as well as the surrounding business circles, are the focus of your next work, I don't want to be pressed by the Yankees all the time, publicity has to be willing to spend money, mining brand value to learn from the Yankees, the difference in market value is too great.

Set up a marketing department, and I would ask the studio to come up with a script and make a movie set in the Dodgers. Expand your visibility in the world.

This time, the stadium is renovated, and the best viewing area in the stadium is used as a designated area, with special seats for stars, and stars from all walks of life are invited to be kick-off guests and performers, so that the game will become star-studded! Isn't David Beckham coming to Los Angeles, isn't he eager to integrate into the mainstream of American society, and let his wife Victoria be the first kick-off of the new season. She won't miss this opportunity. ”

Andy stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, condescendingly looking at the vast court not far away, talking to himself, Granada sitting behind him listened carefully, the pen in his hand made detailed records, and was pleasantly surprised by the ideas of the boss from time to time.

"Okay, that's all, do a good briefing, every day I have to know the situation of the team, you have a lot of work, you have a lot of work to do, you have to be busy with the sports investment company, the Dodgers have to take care of it, your ability has been fully proven after this period of time, I believe it will not be difficult for you. ”

Andy turned to Granada, reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Thank you boss for your trust, in a recession of the economy, to be able to get two salaries, I think, even if you are a little tired, it is worth it... ”

"Haha, if you can win the championship this season, I will give you a bonus, I have never been a stingy boss, as long as I reflect the value!" Andy couldn't help but laugh heartily when he heard Granada's self-teasing.

Leaving the Los Angeles Dodgers arena, Andy, who was sitting in the car, became more calm and calm, and his breath became more calm, and what he wanted to do was to turn the money from the financial market into physical assets, and the plan to turn the numbers displayed in the computer into physical assets was going smoothly and methodically.

High-quality physical assets make him more at ease and calm, the game of the financial market is a castle in the air after all, a sand castle under the waves, too insecure. He has grasped the general trend of the future of the financial market, not the specific details, one wrong step, the loss will be very heavy, or the assets that can be seen and touched are his favorites!
