Chapter 666: I Want a Champion

The lawyer handed the document to Andy, the upturned curvature of Andy's mouth became more obvious, picked up the pen and began to sign one document after another, which was placed in front of him like one delicious dish after another on Western food.

"Congratulations Andy, it's yours!" Alexander stood up, looked at the tall young man in front of him, and finally stretched out his hand and said in a somewhat hoarse voice.

Andy smiled and shook him, raised his hand and stretched it out behind his back, the little assistant's fair face was flushed with excitement, and put a check in the hand of the big devil, Andy smiled and narrowed his eyes, and handed him the check. "It's yours too!"

"It's worth the price, isn't it? And it's not that high. All Alexander's feelings of loss were swept away by the appearance of this check.

"$360 million is not an ordinary price at this time. Andy looked at him and said, even though his heart was already happy, he tried his best to restrain it.

He knows better than anyone what kind of height the NBA's team value will grow in the future, the depreciation of the dollar, the scarcity of high-quality assets has brought about a sharp increase in value, think about the dead Clippers owner, when he was forced out of the league, he was able to sell 2 billion dollars, it was a.

"I hope Team Rocket can get better in your hands!" Alexander said with a light exhalation, a hint of indifference on his old face.

"Yes, you know, Texas is my hometown, and I naturally want my hometown team to be better or make a dynasty. Andy said with a smile.

"I'll see. As a big fan of the Rockets. Alexander doesn't care if Andy talks casually, he still knows Andy's original intention to buy the Rockets, the Smith family's roots are in Texas, and the political family of more than 100 years also needs publicity to increase the influence of the new era.

After the two let go of their clasped hands, the rest of the room applauded as Granada led the way, and Andy turned around with a confident smile on his face and nodded slightly.

The former boss Alexander did not stop, and left the conference room without the slightest pause with his lawyer and bodyguard. PEOPLE ARE OLD AND JING, AND NOW THE ROCKET ALREADY BELONGS TO THIS YOUNG MAN, THE NEW KING ASCENDS THE THRONE, AND HE NEEDS TO ACCEPT THE VISIT OF THE OLD AND NEW SUBORDINATES, AND HE LEFT VERY INTERESTINGLY.

Andy walked to the main seat at the top of the conference table, reached out and patted the back of the boss's chair, sat down with a smile, reached out and made a downward gesture and said, "Sit down." ”

When everyone was seated in various moods, Andy looked at Bob Myers, who was not separated by a few seats, and said, "Bob, you go and ask Coach Don Nelson." ”

"Okay, boss. "Bob didn't feel troubled by his boss's instructions, but he was happy, and in the workplace, it was definitely a trust.

In the gap of waiting, Andy looked at every former Rockets management sitting here, and finally his eyes fell on Daryl Morey's face, he could clearly see that Morey, the general manager, was not really unfazed, after all, his Andy Smith's reputation was outside, and he never fired people and squid mercilessly and directly attacked, and he didn't worry about ghosts.

But Andy really doesn't plan to fire this Morey, this data expert, in addition to being criticized in the operation of players, has done a good job in all other aspects, allowing the Rockets to earn more than $100 million every year, which is definitely a very awesome thing in other debt-ridden teams.

And the most important reason why Andy didn't fire him, Morey has only been in office for half a year, and he has only just straightened out the team, and his only backstage before was the owner Alexander, but now that he doesn't, Morey can easily be subdued by him without roots.

Soon Bob walked in with the mad scientist Nelson, Andy stood up with a smile and shook hands with the other party, and after a few pleasantries, he reached out and motioned for the other party to sit in the empty fourth seat on the right hand side.

"First of all, tonight at the J Marriott Hotel, don't miss the appointment, by the way, I almost forgot, I know what you're worried about, I don't have anything to be dissatisfied with the management of the Rockets for the time being, so no one has been fired, you can rest assured first. ”

Andy smiled and looked around, and the words fell, although there was no obvious expression of relief and no sound of relief, but the tension that had been present in the conference room had dissipated.

"The second thing, Morey, this is Bob Morse, you should be familiar with him, he will be the director of operations of the Rockets, the first thing you have to do next is to ask the team doctors of the Rockets to get rid of me, don't they all say that the team doctors of the Suns have a very high level of medical care? Bob, go and dig me up! Houston is the medical center of the nation, but the quality of the team doctors has been criticized, which I can't tolerate, Morey, you're going to start preparing a medical team of sports medical experts, I guess that's okay for you, right?"

Morey's previous tense nerves had relaxed, and his excellent brain had returned to functioning, and he replied without hesitation: "No problem!"

Andy was very satisfied with Morey's attitude, smiled and nodded: "Don't worry about funding, I once said, I'm not good at running a team, but making money is what I'm best at, and the Rockets, like other teams I own, will inject $100 million." ”

As soon as the words fell, I don't know who started to applaud excitedly first, and then everyone in the conference room began to applaud excitedly, Andy's smile on his face was even brighter, and he looked at Bob Myers, who was the first to applaud, and nodded slightly at him.

"Don Nelson, our mad scientist, I believe there is no one who doesn't know him, he's our new head coach, and I'm going to bother the coach more in the future. After saying that, Andy was the first to applaud, and the conference room burst into applause again, Don Nelson's credentials were there, although he had not won a championship ring, but who could underestimate the head coach who changed the rules of the league.

The next step is the appointment of the head of the finance department, but before that, his think tank has already sent financial personnel to the finance department of Team Rocket, so it is just a formality.

The vast majority of positions are still the same as before, after all, the Rockets' team management team is still good, and it is also ranked fifth in the league, if it is not necessary, it is better to have a smooth transition.

After the meeting, in the team owner's office, Andy sat in the boss's chair, looked at the important people of the Rockets sitting in a row in front of him, and said with a smile: "Morey, how about I buy the entire Toyota Center Arena?"

"Shhhh

Everyone here, in addition to Granada, who personally spent money to buy various teams, others such as Morey, Bob Kels, and head coach Nelson Sr. all have a feeling of seeing a real rich man, Nima, this is called a rich man, he wants to become his own everything, and he is really not bad for money.

"If the boss wants to, it's not difficult, we rocket itself has 21 percent of the shares, the rest are in the hands of the city government, the key is the price, and Toyota spent $100 million on the permanent title at that time, this part of the money will be a problem when it is acquired, and the city government will not necessarily be willing to let go. "Morey is quite excited, after all, this is a venue that has only been built for 4 years, and the value is still very large.

"How much did the arena cost?"

"$235 million, we gave more than 40 million, which can be used for free for ten years. ”

Andy nodded, looked at Granada and said: "This matter is up to you, our sports investment company, it is impossible not to even have a venue, Toyota's $100 million naming fee will be difficult for the city government to spit out, then suppress the price." ”

"I understand. Granada nodded in response.

"Coach, let me get this straight, I want a championship, I don't care about the luxury tax, I want to look good, I want a championship, I want the Rockets to have a full attendance, I want an All-Star, what players do you need?"

Old Nelson had black lines on his forehead, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he felt a burst of teeth, and turned his head to meet the wryly smiling general manager Morey and the new director of team operations, Bob Myers.
