Chapter 144: Madison Square Watching the Ball

William is really thinking about this seriously, and he will not go into the stock market to buy and sell short now. The market volatility is too violent, he doesn't dare to enter the market to do futures, it is better to wait for more than a year before entering the market and eating those stocks that will rise sharply in the future.

Not to mention the other five stocks of Apple, Nafi, Emperor Penguin, Amazon Xun, and Brother Gu, all of which will rise hundreds of times in the future, and even if they don't follow the investment, they can have an increase of more than ten or twenty times.

Forget it, wait a few more months, now is not the time to make a move, and by the end of 00, Amazon will be overwhelmed by a 29-year-old stock analyst, and its market value was once as low as less than $2 billion, not much, as long as he can buy 5%, he can be worth more than $50 billion by relying on Amazon.

And these companies that have gone public are not like the companies that were not listed before the board of directors or founders want to kick you out.

Apple's market value was only 6 billion in 01, and it exceeded 113.7 billion in 07, an increase of nearly 19 times in 6 years

With the addition of Nefi and Google, he can definitely become the richest man in the world, hey, this is the advantage of the reborn, you can win by lying down.

Since futures can no longer be done, then he can't let Americans think that he is a spoiler, which is why he has not bet on futures with American companies in this stock market crash.

Most of the money was made in the island country, and he only made $400 million in the United States, and only $320 million after paying taxes, and if he could buy all the stocks he said, he would definitely buy them now.

In any case, it is impossible to really wait until the market value of these companies is at its lowest to buy, because only when it falls will someone sell a large amount of money.

Thinking about it this way, he had to make some preparations now, William called Phillips and asked him what kind of drinking parties he had been in the United States recently, and he hoped to meet some American business people, meet some people, and have a few more contacts.

Phillips checked for a few minutes and said: "Sir, the recent reception in New York was held by Donald at his hotel, as far as we know, Donald is now about to go bankrupt, he has to work hard to raise funds in many ways to relieve the financial pressure of his company, I heard that he has a lot of good New York real estate for sale, if you are interested, you can go and see"

Who doesn't know the big-mouthed Donald, forget it or don't look for him, save the problem and cause trouble, William vetoed: "Don't go, I'm not interested in him, is there anything else?"

"The others are some charity giving receptions, are you interested?" asked Phillips, uncertain

"Hell, I'm not interested in donating to the Americans, I might as well donate the money to the University of London and Oxford, at least I can get a good name, and I can get any benefit from donating to the Americans," William complained: "Forget it, help me book a ticket to the New York Knicks, I haven't seen the NBA yet."

"Okay, sir, I'll book it for you, I just checked that there is a third game of the semifinals between the Knicks and the Atlanta Hawks tonight, Mr. tickets are a little difficult to decide, don't worry, we will help you get it, you wait for me for half an hour, I'll hang up first, and I'll call you in half an hour"

If you are lucky enough to watch the game, you can meet the semi-finals, he is not worried at all that Phillips will not get the ticket, the Swiss National Bank is the world's top bank, although the market value is only fourth, but the influence of the National Bank in the hearts of the rich is the world's first, it is not easy to buy a ticket, it is a big deal to spend several times the price.

Sure enough, within half an hour, Phillips' call came in, "Sir, we just contacted Dolan, the owner of the Knicks, he will arrange a ticket for you in the first row of the Knicks bench, we will have a special staff to deliver tickets to you, and do you need us to arrange a car to pick you up?"

William thought about it and said, "Well, send someone to pick me up, and help me keep an eye on the house in New York, I want to buy a house here, preferably in Central Park, the price is not a problem, as long as the house is good"

"Understood, sir, I will keep an eye on you, and tomorrow I will send a staff member to find you with the information, so I won't bother you, bye"

"Well, bye-bye" After William hung up the phone, the hotel also brought lunch, after lunch, William took a nap and slept until 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

After leaving the hotel and walking around Fifth Avenue, I bought some change of clothes, and after eating out for dinner, William Street called the National Bank, returned to the hotel to change into a T-shirt, jeans, and a ball cap, got into the National Bank car and went to Madison Square Garden, and when I entered the court, I saw Dolan, the owner of the Knicks, chatting with some people in the lobby.

Dolan walked towards William with a smile after seeing William come in and apologize to the people around him, and stretched out his hand to shake William's hand from a distance, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Devon Hill, it's great that you can come to cheer for the Knicks, you are also the first earl heir to come to the Knicks to watch the game, it is my honor to receive you"

William looked at Dolan with a smile, and knew in his heart that Dolan was so enthusiastic about him because he read today's report, the heir to the earl, self-made, billionaire, and all cash.

William is much richer than him now, Dolan's money is family's, and he is only the manager of the Knicks, this fat man now wants to sell some shares of the Knicks to William, the stock market has plummeted, and the capitalists have no money.

William held Dolan's hand and saw that this guy was holding it and not letting go, and his heart was a little tired, "Thank you, I'm also very happy to meet you, Mr. Dolan, I hope the Knicks can win big today and reach the finals, if you have nothing else, I won't bother you to receive guests."

After William said this, the fat man still held his hand, wouldn't he be a comrade, William broke out in a cold sweat, although he didn't discriminate against comrades, he didn't like to be held all the time.

Dolan saw that William had already frowned, knowing that he was too enthusiastic to let the other party misunderstand, he hurriedly sent his hand away and apologized: "I'm sorry, William, I was a little surprised and happy to see you for the first time, I didn't understand anything when I was your age, I only knew how to pick up girls and play, and apologize again, so I'll just say it directly, is William interested in becoming a shareholder of the Knicks?"

William looked at Dolan in surprise, this fat man had been dragging the Knicks to death in his previous life, and now he would sell his shares.

"As far as I know, hasn't your family always refused to sell any of the Knicks' shares, and I'm not interested in being a minority shareholder, so I can buy them together, Knicks and Garden Place, all cash."

At this time, the Knicks are not a bad team more than ten years later, hundreds of millions of dollars are still worth it, and William is not interested in being a minority shareholder, so he wants to buy it even with Madison Square Garden.

Dolan shook his head after thinking for a moment after hearing William's words, "William, this is a transaction worth more than $10, even if you have so much cash, everyone will not sell it all, no one is stupid, everyone is optimistic about the ball market and Square Garden, and now they just want to cash out to survive the stock market crash."

It's best if you can buy it, forget it if you can't buy it, although New York is the best ball market, but not necessarily for the players, there are too many off-field factors in the big cities, and the players' minds are not on the court.

I'm bidding $1.5 billion in cash, packing Garden Square and the Knicks team, cash, Dolan You can discuss it with all the companies in Garden Square, think about it, it's about to start, I won't bother you, wait for you to hear Mr. Dolan.
