Chapter 601: Progress of the Acquisition Team
βKOββKOβββ
Andy bit the mouthguard, with a helpless smile on his face, he didn't care that his opponent was bouncing in front of him like a monkey, listening to the shouts of the audience, and looking back at the old coach by the ring.
Brush β
Andy crouched sideways, dodging his opponent's sneak attack, then turned back and glared, and the opponent hurriedly stepped back to defend.
"Hahaha... β
This funny scene caused laughter from the audience, and the old coach under the ring, Alexei, pulled the corners of his mouth, stretched out his right hand to cover his face, and finally waved his hand at Andy helplessly, looking like you are casual.
"Boom!"
"Bang-"
"Ahhhhh β
Andy bit the mouthguard, raised his arms high, and let the referee with a cold sweat push him back, Andy did not choose to punch the opponent's head, to be honest, he was afraid of beating these college students stupidly, and the left and right two hooks hit the opponent's sides of the abdomen, and the opponent fell directly on his stomach. The crowd was screaming with cheers and screams, and only the referee was lying in the ring counting the numbers, and then waving his hand to let people come up and heal.
Andy was raised by the referee and was awarded to the applause and cheers of the audience.
In the lounge, the assistant coach helped Andy, a bored uncle lying on the rest chair, to tie up his fists and bandages, and the coach on the side rolled his eyes and said, "I asked you to play points, not to let you provoke the emotions of the audience." β
"Coach, I didn't mean to, the Thais are used to watching Muay Thai, bloody and violent, they naturally don't like boxing with points, and I don't want to waste time with these opponents. Andy said with some curtle.
The corners of the old coach's mouth tugged again...
Meanwhile, the office of the owner of the Houston Rockets in Texas, USA.
Leslie Alexander had a cigar in his hand, his eyes were smoky and he looked at the TV hanging on the wall of his office, the young man on the TV with an excited face, raising his arms high, provoking the emotions of the audience, cheering for him, his brows were furrowed, the folds on his face were more obvious, and he saw the slow motion replayed on the TV, and the two left and right hooks directly knocked the opponent into vomit, and he curled up and fell to the ring.
"Andy Smith... β
He has been a stockbroker on Wall Street since 1965, and in 1980 he founded Alexander Investment Company after accumulating his first pot of gold. Flipping stocks and funds, the businessman has a keen sense of smell, so that he knows the truth of chasing the rise and killing the fall.
However, this time the subprime mortgage crisis, four consecutive stock market crashes, has caused his assets to shrink rapidly, to be honest, now the most valuable of his assets is the Houston Rockets basketball team.
Receiving an offer from Andy Smith's buyout team, who was showing off his muscles and strength on television, he was haunted by the choice of whether to sell the team to raise money and wait for the stock market to turn around, or to let his assets shrink to run the team.
J.E.G.'S JEWISH BUSINESSMAN ALEXANDER NOT ONLY MADE MONEY BY INVESTING IN THE ROCKETS, BUT ALSO KEPT SHOUTING THAT HE WOULD NOT SPARE HIS WEALTH AND BRING A FEW MORE CHAMPIONSHIPS TO THE ROCKETS, BUT HIS TEAM ONLY PAID THE LUXURY TAX TWICE, WHICH SHOWS THAT THE NATURE OF THE BUSINESSMAN IS TO CHASE PROFITS.
Alexander is one of the more critical owners in the NBA. Even if he became very rich, he couldn't change his habit of slamming the door. For Alexander, nothing is more important than making money, he is indeed a huge fan, he also has championship dreams, but what he cares about most is making money. When it comes to money, he never gives in, even if he is accused of lacking human touch. Over the years, Alexander has shouted many championship slogans and said many clichΓ©s for the sake of the fans, but all this is very nihilistic.
Andy ate fried banana, listening to Alvitatre's report on the phone, his brows furrowed slightly from time to time, and the corners of his mouth finally showed a sneer, "Al, I don't care if that old man is a lion or not, 300 million US dollars in cash, only so much, if not, we will buy the Golden State Warriors, the Toyota Center Arena is not the Rockets, hum, 450 million US dollars, it's a shame that he can think of it... β
"Okay, boss, I'll inform the acquisition team, the acquisition of the New York Red Bulls has reached an agreement, you just need to come back and sign the payment, boss. β
"Hehe, speaking of the Red Bulls, they did a good job, they bought it for $3 million, we should also learn from the LA Galaxy team, spend money to build a lineup, most of the players are practical, find a card star who wants to retire to join, I think the ball market will rise." β
Andy is still very satisfied with this deal, you must know that Major League Soccer is the fastest appreciating sports league, and even later, just one team building right was sold for a sky-high price of 100 million dollars.
Since Becky joined the Los Angeles Galaxy, Major League Soccer has begun to attract attention, and football is also one of the fastest-growing sports in the United States, hehe, 3 million, Nima, it's really cheap and makes Andy want to laugh.
"Hmmm... Alexander, don't rush to reply yet, when there is a fifth big drop in the market in the next period of time, and then it will be revealed that I intend to buy the Golden State Warriors, give him some pressure, and send people to contact the Warriors, under the media hype, I think unless Alexander really doesn't care about the investment and loan companies that are mired in the quagmire. β
To be honest, Andy doesn't have much obsession with which team to buy, after all, the NBA is just a business, as long as there is a ball market and can sell game tickets, Andy can form a giant army to compete for the championship.
The main reason why Andy bought the Rockets is that it is Texas, which is the foundation of the Smith family, and of course there are also reasons for Da Yao, Andy has long thought about it, if he can take over the Rockets, wait until the end of the 2007-2008 season, let Maddy play a highlight season and use him for money to replace people, and send away this pit that has become an invincible pit since 08.
Even if you want to be scolded by the fans, you can't keep a superstar who doesn't play for various reasons with a high salary, besides, according to Andy, the relationship between Maddie and Da Yao is really not very good, they are teammates on the court, and they are not even friends off the court.
I heard Al talk about the progress of baseball and football clubs, but it is not very ideal, especially the Los Angeles Dodgers, they are all rotten into a pot of porridge, and Nima Lion opens his mouth wide, Andy doesn't know if the subprime mortgage crisis has stimulated these people's brains too much, and Nima has become an idiot!
HUNG UP THE PHONE, CONTINUED TO EAT HIS FRIED INCENSE JIAO, THE ATHLETIC BEAUTIFUL GIRL ALLISON WHO ALMOST PINCHED HIS WAIST WILL NOT CHOOSE TO ROLL THE SHEETS WITH HIM FOR A WHILE, TRAINING IN THE MORNING, COMPETING IN THE AFTERNOON, COMPETING FOR SEVERAL DAYS IN A ROW, IT IS EVEN MORE IMPOSSIBLE TO DELIVER FOOD TO THE DOOR AT NIGHT, AND THE NEXT DAY THE FOOT IS SOFT TO DO POLE VAULTING, HEHE, IT WILL BE A LOT OF FUN. After all, his animal-like physical fitness is open, how can others have.
After lunch, Andy returned to the dormitory a little lazy, although the environment here is many times stronger than the Pan American Games in Brazil, but it is only a university dormitory, took a shower, sat on the edge of the bed with a bath towel around his waist, picked up his mobile phone and found the address book, looked for a call to Monica, and began to text and flirt with the SHU girl.
"On the 16th and 17th, I will promote it in the Philippines for two days, and on the 18th, I will go to Thailand for five days of publicity, you say the place, I will go to the appointment on time, I am more and more curious about the gift you said... β
Monica, with curly hair and a purple lace suspender silk nightdress, sat on the sofa in the living room of her Parisian home, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled, her face melancholy, and her proud upper circumference could not resist the gravitational pull of the earth because of its amazing scale, and she, the goddess of xing, was fascinated by all men with her plump figure and ripe style.
To say that Monica is not clear about Andy, a little boy who no one dares to despise, is not clear about the different meanings, it is really nonsense, she stepped into the modeling industry as a teenager, and saw the animal-like gaze of the red fruit in the eyes of every man in her eyes is too much, stepping into Hollywood, and has seen all kinds of dirty characters, the first marriage ended before it had time to be sad, and began the second marriage, until now, but Monica is also bitter about this marriage, separation, separation for various reasons, the two are really busy with work, but she really doesn't understand why her husband chose to live alone in Brazilγ
Looking at the large black and white photo of herself hugging Vincent in the photo, her brows furrowed even tighter, there was a problem in the marriage of the two of them, a big problem, but Vincent has been avoiding it, and she has chosen a helpless compromise for the sake of the child's complete family, maybe having another child with Vincent may be able to save the two of them a little inexplicable marriage!
Monica narrowed her melancholy and charming eyes, her red mouth opened slightly, exhaling smoke, and the cigarette between her fingers was put to her mouth again.
