Chapter 655: Next Target, Who to Choose?
The two chatted happily, and through David's explanation, Andy also understood a lot of things inside the NBA. The most important thing is that with the approval of the president of the alliance, there will be absolutely no problem in the next vote on joining the alliance, it is more just a passing scene.
Of course, Andy still needs and needs to attend some gatherings to get to know the owners of the teams in the league, and David Stern will arrange such gatherings as soon as possible.
In fact, Andy's joining the league this time will be a great thing for David Stern, after all, in the past July, the NBA league referee Tim Donahy's gambling scandal caused a stir, and the league's various "whistles" were questioned by the public, and his reputation was also greatly hit.
The addition of Andy Smith, a super celebrity, will detonate the media and distract people's attention, which will definitely relieve the pressure on David Stern.
So when Andy walked out of the restaurant with David Stern with a big smile on his face, many sports reporters and paparazzi who got the news picked up their cameras and filmed them. Whether it's useful or not, maybe it's going to be good news.
After all, the news that Andy is going to buy the Houston Rockets has been rumored for a long time, and last night's dinner was attended by Alexander, the current Rockets owner, who came from Houston to attend, and the league president David Stern not only attended the dinner, but the two had dinner again the next day, which undoubtedly confirmed the news that Andy would join the league, and seeing that the two were talking happily, it was going very well.
Sent the old man to the car, the surrounding reporters stopped the bodyguards, as for the questions they asked, Andy still had an indifferent face, like David Stern, and got into the car without any answer.
Sports reporters also began to join the chase for Andy, and they posted photos and news of Andy's meeting with David Stern as quickly as possible, and the media in New York were undoubtedly the most excited about Andy, the youngest billionaire, to enter basketball, football, and football at the same time.
When sports reporters photographed Andy and his subordinates appearing at the location of the New York Football Giants, and were greeted by the current owners of the team, the Mara family, and Preston, which holds 50% of the shares, all the sports reporters couldn't help but sigh that Andy Smith was not bad for money, and it was crazy and too tycoon to buy several teams at the same time as big toys.
About an hour later, the Mara family's car and Preston's car drove out of the Giants' training base and drove away.
And the reporters around the gate guessed that this was the completion of the acquisition, and Andy Smith was taking over the Giants with someone.
In the conference room of the Giants, the atmosphere was a little weird, because the speed of Andy's acquisition was too fast, and the already chaotic management was even more confused, the Mara family and Preston didn't even disclose any news to the management, and suddenly the owners changed, and the executives competing for the position of general manager of the team were completely dumbfounded.
Andy sat in the main seat with a faint smile on his face, his eyes radiating dazzling brilliance, and on the left hand sat the first to sit Granada, the CEO of his sports management company, Kevin, the head of the rugby department, and his team, and on the right hand was the accounting team led by Alvitatl.
"Today is my first meeting as the owner of the Giants, and from today the Giants have turned a new page, and the Giants will also be for sale in my hands. Andy looked around with a smile and said lightly.
Andy raised his chin slightly at Granada, who stood up expressionlessly, picked up a piece of paper, looked at the old management team of the Giants with ugly faces and nervous faces, and began to read the names.
When the name was finished, Andy squinted his eyes slightly, the corners of his mouth were still smiling, and he said lightly: "The above people can resign by themselves, and I will pay you an extra month's salary." ”
The faces of those people were very gloomy, but there was nothing they could do, after all, they knew very well that it was not only the reason why the new owner wanted to let his own people control the team, but also the fact that the names that were named were the few executives who were vying for the general manager to bring chaos to the Giants.
"I hope to receive your resignation letter today, as my team is about to start preparing for next week's new season. ”
Several old executives looked at the young rich man sitting in the main seat with a breezy and smiling face, and the expression of not caring at all, and finally weighed it and said, "As you wish." ”
"Wise choice!" Andy smiled and nodded, so he didn't waste any more time on those people, and waved his hand casually, and the people who were going to get out of the house also opened the door and left.
There was silence in the conference room, and the old team management and head coach all looked at the soft-smiling young boss with complicated eyes, and their emotions were tense.
"Okay, now it's time for a meeting!" Andy looked at Kevin, looked around and said to everyone: "This is Kevin, and he will be the general manager of the Giants in the future, congratulations Kevin, I hope you don't let me down!"
"Thank you boss for your trust, I will do a good job!" Kevin is naturally extremely excited, as a veteran who has been in the NFL and NFC for many years, it has always been his ideal to be the general manager of a team.
"The head coach of the team, Tom Kauflin, is still going to change. Things in the team, after you discuss them, talk to me. Al, give me an answer after you straighten out your finances. ”
Andy is still habitually stationed in two teams, and the finance department is directly controlled by people from the think tank.
"Also, Kevin, we need to build a better team within the team, muscle specialists, orthopedic specialists, don't be stingy in this regard, it's better to set up a sports lab, it will be very useful in the future. ”
For Andy's request, Kevin naturally wants to complete it, don't look at the big boss is young, with a soft smile, there is no one in this conference room who does not listen carefully, and the boss who can tell all the senior management to get out of the way as soon as he takes over the team, who dares to ignore it, those who left just now are a lesson from the past.
And for those of you who haven't read the news reports about the big bosses, every time the previous acquisition is completed, there will be rumors of how ruthless and decisive the world's youngest billionaire is.
Then there are the appointments of several senior managers, from one of the data experts in the think tank to the senior management, and the others to the middle management.
At the end of the appointment, Andy looked around with a smile and said to the new team and the previous team: "I have a limited understanding of how to run a football team, what I can give you is full trust and a good environment to display your talents, I will give the Giants $100 million in funds, so you have to repay my trust in you in the easiest way, results!"
"Smack... ”
Kevin was the first to applaud, and soon the conference room was filled with applause, and the managers of the Giants who were originally nervous finally breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, don't worry about losing your job, and then thought of what the new boss who had just put a lot of pressure on them and had an incomparably powerful aura said, and injected 100 million US dollars! Oh my God, the Giants entered the Super Bowl last year, and this year they have 100 million US dollars, and they can definitely rise.
Andy smiled with the corners of his mouth upturned, and left the Giants' training base with the six-man bodyguards led by Joseph, completely ignoring the reporters who rushed up excitedly and banged on the car window as they went out.
That night, a reporter took a photo of Andy taking Ivana to a banquet for Roger Goodall, the president of the American Football League, looking at the photo of Andy and Roger talking and laughing, and frequently raising a glass to a happy and happy scene, everyone knows that the American Football League ushered in the youngest, worth 10 billion team owners, the happiest and happiest are undoubtedly the fans of the Giants, and the revival of the Giants is just around the corner!
The New York Times even used Andy's photo in an interview a long time ago of Andy standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with light and shadow intertwined in the sunset, his head slightly bowed sideways, his left arm ringed, his chin slightly pinched with his right hand, and a contemplative photo as the front page, and the headline used a very prominent large font "Next target, who to choose?" nt
