Chapter 653: Wealthy
All the financial pages are talking about whether last night's gathering of investment banks, banks, Paulson and Bernanke will come up with a solution to the current subprime mortgage crisis.
In fact, discerning people know very well that whether it is 40 billion or 80 billion, they are all sandbags, and it is useful to block rivers and break embankments by relying on a few sandbags?
Seeing many reports calling for a government bailout, there are also many calls against bailing out the city, and these voices oppose taking taxpayers' money to save the greedy vampires of Wall Street for this crisis caused by Wall Street.
Make money! Make quick money, make a lot of money, make money for all the prey that can be made right now! The price will be cared for, and that's something that will be said when the storm comes! It is because these Wall Street vampires are reckless that they will cause this crisis, and they will only suffer on their own.
It's just that both the people on Wall Street and those who oppose the bailout, for the cliff-like plunge in the past month, and the panic in the market, in the face of the storm and waves, they all see a clear truth, confidence ---- only the restoration of confidence can really curb the recession of the Milky Way whirlpool capital market, otherwise it will be a night from sitting in Mercedes-Benz to the Federal Reserve meeting to queuing up on the street to receive relief food!
When Andy and Ivana walked out of the apartment building with their fingers clasped, a large group of reporters and paparazzi who were squatting outside surrounded them.
"Andy, did you make a deal with Alexander?"
"Andy... I heard you're going to buy the Giants?"
"Ivana, there are rumors that you are pregnant... ”
"Andy, what do you think of this economic crisis?"
。。。。。。
Andy frowned at the pile of flashlights, fortunately with sunglasses, so he wouldn't flash them into his eyes, and the bodyguards opened the way, and it was impossible for the reporters to approach him, let alone hand him the microphone, but the chaotic and noisy scene was still unpleasant.
Ivana wore white-rimmed sunglasses, held hands with Andy, and the smile on the corner of her mouth made her red lips lightly open, and her white teeth were exposed, which showed that she was in a very good mood, and did not avoid the reporters' photos, but waved her hand gently.
After getting into the car and closing the door, Andy said depressedly: "This group of people is really endless. ”
Ivana Jiao smiled and said: "Aren't you also very easy to use them? The media in New York have taken good care of you, and being mean is their usual style." ”
"Ha~ It's not that I haven't seen their meanness, when I bought the "Observer" newspaper, these bastards didn't ridicule me and didn't bother to pay attention to them. Andy snorted, adjusted his comfortable sitting position, and placed his hands on Ivana's slender white tui very naturally.
Since being with Andy, under Andy's tireless and tireless hard work and deep excavation, in addition to being difficult to resist his boyfriend's flirtatation, he has also produced a unique charm, and the mature charm on his body has become more and more exciting.
Ivana glanced sideways at her boyfriend, lifted her legs, picked up a fashion magazine and read it casually.
Before sending Ivana to the CP building, watching his girlfriend's tall and plump girlfriend walk into the building surrounded by paparazzi, Andy couldn't help but show a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
58th floor, Newsweek Building, Manhattan.
Andy sat at the head of the large conference table in the office meeting area, looking at the information in his hand, the CEO of the legendary sports investment company Granada, who has been officially listed, Mawson of the football department, and David Dunn, the official plenipotentiary of the Tottenham club, the chief think-tank Alvitatre and the acquisition team that has just been formed are waiting quietly.
"Al, Granada, come with me at noon to meet David Stern, and while the NBA board decisions are usually just a formality, they also have to give face to all team owners. ”
Andy said as he quickly flipped through the internal information on the Houston Rockets in his hand.
"Okay, boss. ”
"That's right, Granada, you can find the general manager of the team and hurry up to find it, this matter can't be delayed, the original general manager Carol Dawson asked him to come back as the team's senior adviser, after all, he was the personal guide of Olajuwon and Da Yao, so that he can still help Da Yao when he comes back. Andy said with a slight frown when he saw the management list on the team profile.
"Boss, the current assistant general manager of the team, Darryl Morey, is a good candidate, this is Alexander previously poached from the Celtics, I communicated with Alexander, he was interested in Morey not only because of his status as vice president of the Celtics, but also because of his education and research work in MIT's "sports analysis management", Morey's responsibilities at the Celtics mainly include stadium operations, risk management, basketball analysis, ticket sales strategy, pricing, and the underlying technical structure. ”
Hearing Granada's reply, Andy still knows a little about the general manager of the Rockets named Morey, after all, because Da Yao has read a lot of reports on the Rockets, this is a data expert.
The strength is to always maintain the salary space ****g, be good at calculation, Taobao in the second round, squeeze player contracts, and to put it bluntly, it is to pick the door.
The weakness is also obvious, the ability to dig treasures in the first round of shows is generally too focused on data, and the control of large-scale transactions is insufficient, to put it bluntly, the network is not good.
Overall, though, he's a good manager, but he's not quite as good as a champion-level manager.
"Hehe, data scientists, are you budget-conscious? I want championships, I want to build a new dynasty, the luxury tax... Hehe. Andy shook his head and smiled, and as his words fell, Mawson, who had become the chairman of the New York Red Bulls football team, and David Dunn, the future chairman of Tottenham, couldn't help but glance at each other.
"Okay, after taking over the team, let him run a few players to try his ability, increase the strength of the bench, loosen the constraints on Da Yao, and take into account the factors of Maddie's injury, the head coach of the team, etc., all of which need to be met to listen to his ideas, inform him, and let him come up with a plan. ”
Andy feels that there is no other good choice, after all, Morey is still very capable, and the operation of his previous life may also have an important factor in killing Alexander, the owner of the team.
You don't have to think about money, you don't have to think about luxury tax to make a star offer, Morey's business acumen should be able to be fully utilized, don't think about it, don't think too much about money, maybe there will be a surprise.
"Kevin, I have two requests for the Giants, first, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, whoever is the quarterback, to bring me back to New York, and second, I want to win the Super Bowl. Andy didn't give Kevin Tim, a football legend, a football legend in the football department, a chance to refuse, he didn't want to care about the process, he just wanted the result to get the New York Giants out of the fate of the fish belly team, bring stars, win, and increase attendance.
Looking at Kevin's serious expression, Andy looked around and smiled: "Whether it is basketball, football, football or baseball, after the acquisition of the team, I will give you 100 million US dollars in operating funds in the first year, and I will not draw funds from the profits of each team, what I want is the influence brought by big-name stars, the attendance on the court and the championship, so, everyone, don't let me down!"
Several general managers who decided to take over the teams couldn't help but sweat wildly, sure enough, they were rich and rich, not bad money, and the team had not yet arrived, and one person got 100 million US dollars in operating funds.
David Dunn really feels a lot of emotion, he has been a poor man at Arsenal all his life, he is careful with his calculations, and now he can finally live the life of a tyrant, no wonder the bastards of Chelsea are willing to be obedient even if they know that Abu is blindly commanding, Nima, this feeling of bulging waist is indeed hard on the back.
Kevin of the football department came with a serious face and was bitter in his heart, but when he heard the American knife suddenly smashed by the boss who had a big problem for him, he almost stunned him, don't look at the football team is very valuable, football is also the most popular sport, but the average salary of football players is only 2 million US dollars, even the annual salary of a legendary quarterback cannot catch up with the salary of an NBA All-Star.
100 million dollars, Nima, although a football team has 53 players, but the real cost is a quarterback, this money is enough for him to change the lineup, plus the funds from his own team, can definitely make the Giants reborn, and even push to the rebuild.
And Mawson, who has taken over the New York Red Bulls, secretly clenched his fists, the Los Angeles Galaxy signed heartthrob David Beckham this summer, out of the limelight, at least to ensure the audience attendance, and the Red Bulls he took over can be pushed to rebuild, and it is also matched with a world-class superstar, which can also play a good effect, didn't you sign Beckham, then I will sign Luis Figo!
