Chapter 650: Willing to be a bridge

Of course not!

Andy complained in his heart, but he didn't show an extra expression on his face, but said with a smile: "Mr. Stich, of course there is no problem with cooperation, I am also willing to cooperate with you to run the Giants well, after all, this is an NFL veteran team, if I take over the team from the Mara family, I will make lineup adjustments next, my goal is the world championship, Super Bowl!"

Preston listened to Andy's words and nodded in understanding, he knew that the smiling young man in front of him was waiting for him to ask, so he had to ask, "So, how much does it cost?"

Andy chuckled and said: "It doesn't take much in the first year, you and I each spend $100 million on player transfers, and it won't take long to make the Giants a championship team." ”

The corners of Preston's mouth twitched, shook his head and smiled, and said helplessly: "You are squeezing me out with money, okay, young man, you win, let your team contact me, say a good price, 49% of the shares of 100 million US dollars are yours!"

"Thank you!" Andy knows that the other party must understand what is going on with this move, smashing the team with money, if the other party is not bad for money like himself, and dares to play Jinyuan football like this, this trick is naturally useless, but now it seems that it is not the owner of the money.

After chatting a few more words, Ivana appeared next to Andy at the right time, Andy put her arm around her waist and shuttled through the crowd of guests.

"Do you want to buy the New York Giants in addition to the Rockets?" Warren Buffett and his little wife were chatting in a small circle with William III and Amanda, the heads of the Hearst family, when they saw Andy walking over with Ivana in his arms.

"Yes, I love sports, and although I don't play basketball or rugby, I think having a team would be a good option and a good investment. Andy chose to avoid Amanda's sharp arrow, and answered directly to Buffett's question.

A few people next to him could only look envious of Andy's lavish consumption. The Rockets plus the Giants need at least $5,600 million, oh my God, what an enviable young man!

At this moment, Ivana was also very proud and proud, and inadvertently met Amanda's gaze, if it was changed, you could see electric sparks flashing in the eyes of the two women.

"Not a bad idea, I was surprised that you tend to be conservative in your financial philosophy at your age, and I thought you would continue to invest in the financial markets. Although William III Hearst knew that his niece was a little entangled with Andy, but the affairs of the juniors and their elders would naturally not be involved, but Andy's young man's excellence was indeed rare and incomparable, and he thought of something, and said to Andy with a smile: "Your Liberty City technology company, if hatsapp wants financing, remember to give me a call!"

His words instantly attracted the attention of a group of people, and they immediately thought that in addition to setting up two funds and doing some benefit sharing, Andy's company has always been eating alone. Anyone who has followed Andy knows that there is no way he can come up with financing, that company is now a money printing machine, there is no need to expand at all, and the profits it makes every day can make this game company a unicorn in the industry.

Hatsapp is different, with the hot sale of Apple's smartphone, which everyone was looking down on at the beginning, everyone saw the potential of the smartphone market, and with the popularity of the app that Apple mobile phones are accepted by more and more users and is very popular, Andy's Liberty City Technology Company has also become a technology company with great potential in the eyes of many investors and investment companies.

As long as the number of users grows, its value will double, double, and double again. Tens of billions of dollars can be reached in an instant, which is the typical rise model of technology companies such as the IT industry.

If a company like hatsapp wants to develop, it needs a lot of money to burn, Andy can choose to play by himself, but after all, it is necessary to take it out, win-win cooperation, benefit sharing, and equal sharing of glory are generally the development model of American enterprises, of course, it is okay to eat alone, but you must also be prepared to solve everything by yourself, look at the miserable status quo of American Online, you can understand that in the United States, eating alone is definitely not a good thing.

"Yes, it's just not worth enough. Now it's still a baby, users need to grow explosively, and profit plans need to come up with solutions, and these two points are the most suitable time for financing!" said this, Andy smiled confidently "It has this potential, it is not just a tool to send free SMS contact, it is only the initial version now, there are many powerful features that have not been added, it will be an indispensable application for every mobile phone, no one can do without it!"

"Andy, you have a genius brain, and every time you come up with a point, you can make a lot of money, which has to be admired. An investment company billionaire said with envy.

And this sentence is also recognized by everyone around HATSAPP, when HATSAPP gets through the difficult period at the beginning, as the number of users continues to increase, the value of Watsp will go further, but it will attract more investors to pile in.

Ivana took Andy's arm, kept an elegant posture, looked at the time, leaned into Andy's ear and whispered: "Honey, it's almost time, the dinner party can begin." ”

Andy nodded, smiled and put the wine glass on the tray of the nearest waiter, nodded and smiled at the few people around him, and calmly invited the guests to the table.

As everyone found their seats one by one, the ready waiters began to shuttle between the guests and began to pour wine, tonight's dinner menu was carefully prepared by Ivana, reaching as many as 31 dishes, including many high-end classic ingredients, the head chef of the Four Seasons Hotel also prepared for a long time, while emphasizing the appearance of the dishes, he hopes to bring out the delicious taste of the ingredients, so that all guests have a pleasant culinary journey.

The dinner officially began. The first meal was halibut and scallops with seaweed, yellow cream and caviar, and while the guests enjoyed the delicious meal, the orchestra began to play melodious and soothing music on the small stage.

With a charming smile on his face, Andy stood up from the main seat on the left, nodded left and right, "Dear Mr. Paulson and Mr. Bernanke, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, tonight, it is a great honor to be with all of you, first of all, I would like to give special thanks to my girlfriend Ivana, who has prepared for this dinner for a long time, almost from the style of the tableware, the selection of every ingredient, no matter how small, thank you... Of course, she's still an incomparable beauty!"

As the words fell, Ivana listened to the warm applause of the guests, raised her head, her eyes sparkled, and she looked at her boyfriend with joy and infatuation, with a charming smile on her face.

"It is a tremendous privilege to be here with all of you, and we would like to thank Mr. Paulson and Mr. Bernanke, as well as the staff of the Federal Reserve and the Treasury, for their outstanding work day in and day out to rescue the subprime mortgage crisis caused by the U.S. housing bubble... ”

"Hehe... Everyone present clapped their palms and let out chuckles.

“。。。。。。 All of you, distinguished leaders, I propose a toast to our rare gathering and dialogue tonight, for ourselves, for Wall Street, for the prosperity of America, and thank you!"

The applause was mixed with cheerful laughter, even if Bernanke and Paulson and the CEO of Morgan Stanley, who had just been ridiculed, kept shaking their heads and laughing, for Andy, a young man, relaxed, calm and confident, humorous and funny, diluted the shadow brought by the subprime mortgage crisis in the hearts of some people, after all, the subprime mortgage crisis is still very small to the billionaires here, and more is the impact of the company, Wall Street, and the economic environment.

This is also why after the subprime mortgage crisis, the rich people on Wall Street are still running and dancing, and their luxurious lives continue, which caused a violent backlash from the people, and there was an incident of occupying Wall Street.

Andy's main purpose in hosting this dinner is to give this group of Wall Street executives, billionaires who control the money, Treasury Secretary Paulson, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and others an opportunity to meet and discuss.

You must know that Paulson and the current CEO of the New York Stock Exchange, John Sain, are both from Goldman Sachs, and because of the avoidance principle, the attention they receive in private is too great, and the conspiracy theories will give them headaches.

At Goldman Sachs' annual meeting in Russia, Paulson had to use the opportunity of his visit to Russia to sneak away and meet with Goldman Sachs executives to discuss the subprime mortgage crisis.

Andy watched the guests taste the food, nodding their heads frequently for the taste of the food, and at the same time whispering to the people around him who had passed by the special row, with a satisfied smile on his face, looking sideways at Ivana, who had been smiling like a crescent moon, holding a wine glass and clinking glasses with his girlfriend with a happy and gentle smile.

The 31 dishes of the dinner made the guests extremely satisfied, and lasted for about 2 hours, when the gentlemen and ladies left the table with a satisfied expression, returned to the banquet hall, and continued to gather in groups to drink dessert wine and chat, Andy did not surround Paulson and Bernanke with the group of anxious CEOs on Wall Street, this kind of excitement he was not interested in, but Andy had already prepared a lounge area in the second-floor swimming pool for them to have a secret meeting.

He is now sitting in a corner lounge with David Dunn, a football bull from England, sipping wine and discussing the problems of Premier League clubs.
