Han Chudong really has no idea of buying a team to play at present.

However, when his remarks reached the ears of well-intentioned people, the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers took the initiative to come to the door and entrusted an old friend who had met Han Chudong at the party to help him ask him if he wanted to buy the Lakers, and the bid was 20 million US dollars.

This happened in the afternoon of the day the interview ended, and the current Lakers owner is named Jack Cook.

Also making an offer is the Buffalo Warriors, this team will be renamed the Clippers in the future and only joined the NBA in 1970, even old fans don't necessarily understand this, not to mention that Han Chudong is not an old fan, so he only thinks that he has become a wronged leader in the eyes of others, and he doesn't take it to heart at all.

After looking for someone to help collect information about the professional basketball league, he found out that in addition to the NBA, there is also a group called ABA (American Basketball Association), these two professional basketball league organizations are currently evenly matched, competing with each other for excellent players, because playing in the ABA can earn more, so the NBA is often the weak side that is poached from the pillars of the family.

Competition has affected the development of the industry as a whole, and according to the information, it appears that negotiations are underway to merge the two organizations in the near future.

So it seems.

Han Chudong feels that investing in a professional basketball team now actually has a lot of room for appreciation, but this profit is not enough for him to take a fancy to, if he has the idea of being a hobby, he can start it.

After looking for information about the basketball league, I went to collect information about various football teams in Europe and the Los Angeles Dodgers, and while waiting, I received news again that the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League also have shareholders who are willing to sell half of their shares to him.

The team is easy to buy, but difficult to sell, especially if you are in a hurry, you can only rely on price reductions and discounts to win attention.

The recent economic situation has been severe, and more and more wealthy people have begun to choose to cash out their assets and hold on to their currencies.

Han Chudong clearly and publicly said that he has no idea about this for the time being, but there are still team owners who want to try their luck here, most likely because they buy Boeing 747 as a private jet while building a mansion, so some people subconsciously think that it is easy to make money from him, just like the middlemen who have been recommending islands and art to him recently.

In fact, he did take the opportunity to buy quite a few works of art.

In the past four months, more than $23 million has been spent on this area, and various exquisite collections have been recommended to him by consultants, including five pieces of blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty and a painting of Van Gogh's "Iris", totaling more than 80 pieces.

The price of the "Luanwei Flower" is higher than the remaining eighty-odd pieces combined, and it is regarded by Han Chudong as the treasure of the future town house.

At this rate of spending, it is no wonder that as soon as they heard the news that Han Chudong might buy the team's shares, those local team owners in Los Angeles rushed over, only to blame that there were too few high-rollers willing to take over.

was tempted again and again, and as the idea of developing the Internet early gradually failed, a large amount of money borrowed from the Swiss banking group had nowhere to invest for the time being, which really made Han Chudong have the idea of buying another "small gift" for himself.

In the evening, he had many impulses to spend, and the next morning he contacted the owner of the Lakers and Governor Olson, who watched the game together last year, when Olson said that he knew Walter O'Malley, the majority shareholder of the Dodgers.

Han asked Governor Olson to ask Mr. Walter O'Malley Sr. if he had any plans to sell his shares in the Dodgers......

on this.

Assistant Arthur helped Han Chudong buy items and assets one after another, and he had already become numb, and then asked calmly: "The negotiations with Château Cheval Cheung are coming to an end, and the conflict is mainly focused on the price issue, and the negotiation with the owner of Château Margaux is also underway, are you sure it's a good idea to buy the team now? Don't forget that during the interview yesterday morning, the host Lindsey said that you spent too much money." ”

"What's the problem, I spend my own money. ”

"Bank interest rates are high. ”

"It's okay, the money is depreciating, isn't it, the team's profits should be enough to cover my shortfall in loan interest. ”

“…… You're the boss and you always have a reason to convince me. Arthur sighed slightly as he spoke, thinking that this was indeed the case.

Han Chudong was not in a hurry at all, and his assistant, he was even more anxious.

In addition to the interest generated by that huge loan, don't forget the office building in the city center, the golf course and villa in Beverly Hills Heights, the art purchased from time to time, and the taxes that will be paid, all of which are sucking blood from the Mason Union Group, plus a series of acquisitions and investment moves, Arthur can't help but worry about the flow of money.

Fortunately, the bank loan does not need to be repaid in a lump sum in the short term, and companies such as Baofeng Electric and Rainbow Beauty do not need to continue to invest funds, so the current funds are quite abundant.

However, Arthur felt that according to the speed at which the small boss burned money, it was estimated that it would not be long before he had to continue to consider which bank to borrow from.

Han Chudong really didn't worry about money at all, after all, he was only twenty years old, and now it was only 1975, and he said with a smile: "I'll rest for half a year after buying this time, remember to help me ask the people on the NASDAQ stock exchange, see that the storm electrical charm is not eligible to be listed with them, if it can, then go public, raise almost 40 million US dollars, remember to use rainbow beauty as bait when talking about conditions, and save on handling fees and issuance costs." ”

In the end, it was not willing to let Mango Toys, which contributed a large amount of cash flow, go public first, and the shareholding structure of Baofeng Electric was dispersed, and three electrical appliance manufacturers were introduced, which have already made a small profit with the increase in the valuation of Baofeng Electric, and this time they also agreed with the idea of listing.

As for Rainbow Beauty, this "cash cow" is gradually expanding through investment and mergers, and for the overall interests of Mason United Group, it will remain in its current state in the short term, not publicly listed, and there is no need to raise funds externally, and it is not too late to come up with it when the time comes.

In the final analysis, rainbow beauty, which achieves corner overtaking with a soft mask patent, still belongs to the category of traditional enterprises, and now Han Chudong has begun to focus more on the land of Silicon Valley while valuing industrial diversification, and occasionally feels that if it is not listed, if it does not attract a large amount of money for mergers and acquisitions, most of it will be suppressed by some capital forces, but there has been no such sign in the near future.

Therefore, it is more in line with Han Chudong's interests to continue to delay......
