Chapter 512: Spending money is addictive

"Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets?" said Andy as he looked at the data, focusing on the two baseball teams.

"Yes, after evaluating all aspects, the think tank believes that whether it is popularity or fan base, the priority choice is the Los Angeles Dodgers, after all, New York already has a Yankees, and the Metropolis cannot compete with it and compete for the ball market.

The current owner of the Dodgers, Frank McCarter, is a real estate developer who bought the Dodgers in 2004 for $430 million from media mogul Rupert Murdoch. However, due to McCarter's extravagant life and the payment of a huge divorce alimony of $130 million, the team's financial situation deteriorated and it went bankrupt. Boss, you know, what is the state of real estate in the United States right now, and after a while, I'm afraid this Frank McCarter will try to make money by all means, and I think you can buy the Dodgers without paying too much. “

"OK! Thanks for the subprime mortgage crisis!" Andy leaned comfortably on the boss's chair and patted the armrest of the boss's chair with a smile, he felt that he was in a really good mood.

Andy had heard of the Dodgers in his previous life, it seems that it was because in 2010, a government-backed company in the Rabbit Country joined the bid for the Dodgers who filed for bankruptcy protection, but in the end it was unsuccessful, when the Dodgers were acquired by a team of 10 billionaires led by Magic Johnson, and the final transaction price was $1.3 billion.

But it doesn't seem like he needs to spend that much money to get this global brand under his control.

"Then let's set up a sports advisory group first, the basketball team is dominated by the Houston Rockets, the Golden State Warriors are the secondary targets, the football New York Giants, and the baseball is based on the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Andy said, his heart became more and more unable to calm down, Nima, the feeling of spending money is indeed cool, no wonder so many desert tyrants like to use money to smash people, it is indeed enjoyable!

"Okay boss, we will keep an eye on the situation of these teams and the financial situation of everyone in each team, and follow up in time. ”

"Well, Marvel's negotiations are speeding up, get it done as soon as possible, on July 13th, I'll be with the U.S. team at the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and by then, the storm on Wall Street may have already begun to rage, God bless the United States... ”

Andy instructed again, and lost no time in sighing, as if he loved America so much, Alvitatre silently rolled his eyes a little speechlessly, and left the office with a black line.

It didn't take long for Pete Kaplan from The Observer to walk in with a bag of papers.

Andy saw the document bag in Pete's hand, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but skim a few times, and he unconsciously felt a toothache.

"Well, Pete, what secret have you brought me, and my God, why do you get more of this material than Newsweek?"

Andy stretched out his hand to cover his face, smiled wryly and looked at Pete Kaplan, who was already sitting across from him and grinning, and complained.

"It's thanks to the previous reports that withstood the pressure, but don't be nervous, boss, this time the news is not lethal... ”

As he spoke, he handed the bag to Andy, and said as Andy opened the bag and took out the papers: "Idaho Senator Larry Craig's airport restroom "harassment incident", a man named Dave accused Larry Craig of patting his feet in the airport restroom, and Dave thought it was Larry Craig's signal to him that he wanted to do something with him.

Larry Craig, 62, is married and is currently serving in the Senate for the third time and will run for a fourth term next year. He was a member of the House of Representatives for 10 years before entering the Senate in 1990. Currently, he is also a senior supporter of the Elephant Party's presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, and has been the campaign liaison since February. ”

Andy pinched the bridge of his nose, looked at Pete Kaplan with a bitter expression and said, "Pete, can we not stare at the Elephant Party's pit all day long!"

Saying that, he threw the papers on the desk, he was really speechless, the Smith family is a hardcore elephant political family, Nima, he has pulled down a party whip, and now there is a senior senator.

"Ahem, boss, didn't I tell you, how to deal with your decision, another news about Benla Lamp. According to the report, he has been suffering from severe kidney disease, and since 2004 he has been living on one kidney and is weak. Authoritative sources disclosed that the condition began to worsen this year, and bin Laden died of kidney failure. The source noted that the American side knew that bin Laden was dead. The video and audio recordings about bin Laden were made by American experts and then broadcast to achieve their purpose in the region. ”

Andy sneered, who better knew if Ben Laden was alive or where he was hiding?

"Pete, you should strangle the person who gave you this news, the truth of this news is very low, I believe that it was made by someone with a heart, this can be published, but as a joke, I think this news may increase a lot of sales, find some detailed information to demonstrate, don't draw conclusions. ”

Sending Pete Kaplan away, Andy frowned, tapped the materials on the table with the pen in his hand, and finally picked up the phone and called Old Smith in Washington.

Hanging up the phone, Andy couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, Nima, it's all bullshit all day long, next year is the election year, and all the bullshit is coming out.

It seems that O'Black Bull also has a scandal, yes, Andy should have stayed in a hotel with his female aides when he was running for the Senate, tsk, the presidential campaign is like this, very indiscriminate, and all kinds of means are endless.

At lunch, Andy waited for Ivana in a western restaurant.

"I'm sorry, my dear, just finished the meeting... When Ivana arrived, she kissed Andy with an apologetic face.

"Wow, I can understand you, you always have to change your clothes! You're amazing, I love your dress. Andy looked at Ivana, who was no longer the professional dress she wore when she went out in the morning, and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and tease.

Inside, she wears a white peak-necked shirt made of chiffon drape, and on the outside, she wears a white dress with a sleeveless waist and slim knee-length, and the skirt is full of black and white flowers like splashing ink, which is very elegant and beautiful.

"Thanks, it's new for our company, I fell in love with it when I saw the designs. Ivana's beautiful eyes praised by her boyfriend were smiling like crescent moons.

Lunch was sumptuous, and the coffee after the meal accompanied the two of them through a bright afternoon.

"Mr. Smith, please rest assured, our experience in converting private jets is absolutely unmatched by other companies, Miss Ivana should have experienced that we have modified Mr. CP's Boeing 757, Mr. CP is very satisfied... ”

In the office, Andy and Ivana sat next to each other, watching representatives from Boeing display the latest airliners on a clipboard behind them.

The 757 is powered by Rolls-Royce engines, and this Boeing is one of the fastest aircraft in the world. It is capable of flying at over 500 miles per hour while being very spacious. Normally, the 757 has only 43 seats!

The aircraft is equipped with a dining room, a bedroom and a private room. It also features a 24-carat gold faucet, bathtub and seat clasp and state-of-the-art 18 IMAX-rated speakers with a knife-edge cinema system.

Ivana thought of her own plane, and couldn't help nodding in agreement, after all, there are CP logos from the inside out, and the 757, which is full of CP family characteristics, is an important means of transportation for their family.

"Boeing 747-200B, if I need you to follow President One, in addition to the safety precautions against nuclear explosions and nuclear fallout, how long will it take to see my plane?" Andy has always emphasized safety, not to mention that his assets are not more than 10 billion, even the little Rockefeller Nyima hung up because of a plane crash, leaving so much money and not being able to enjoy the tragic case in front, how can he first ensure safety.

Ivana smiled bitterly, looked at her boyfriend with an extremely serious expression, and knew that this was what her own men valued.

"The Boeing 747-200B family is equipped with 4,000 square feet (about 372 square meters) of cabin space, 3 floors, 2 galleys to support 100 people, and an operating room. The safety system is exactly what you need!" said the smile on the face of the Boeing representative, which was almost as bright as it was, and that was a big deal.

"It's going to take a year and a half to wait, but if Mr. Smith is in a hurry, we have a new Boeing model here for you to refer to, which is also an upgraded version of our Air Force One design, the 747-8VIP!

We'll call it the Palace in the Sky, and it's a bit larger than Air Force One, with a cabin space of up to 4,700 square feet (about 436 square meters), two stories high, an elevator, a dining room for 14 people, a meeting room, a lounge and an office, and the rest of the space can be transformed to suit your needs.

The most important thing is that we have built two of this model now, one for the test machine, and the other for the White House, but if Mr. Smith doesn't want to understand, we can sell it to you first. ”

Andy looked at the 747-8VIP floor plan and photos hanging on the clipboard, and couldn't help but light up, and looked at Ivana sideways, "How's that?"

Ivana smiled sweetly, gently brushed the blonde hair around her ear, and said in a greasy voice, "You decide, I care about the interior design." ”

Andy smiled, looked back at the representative of Boeing, and said with a smile: "Hehe, you highly recommend this one, I believe that the price is not cheap!"

"Because it was originally prepared for the White House, both the security system and the internal facilities were completed in accordance with the standards of Air Force One, the internal facilities are very high-end and luxurious, and the price of the plane itself is 200 million US dollars!" The Boeing representative was extremely excited in his heart, and the owner in front of him was not bad for money, think about what the newspaper said, this Mr. Smith has five billion dollars in cash in his hand, as for the president? Hehe, anyway, the budget of the White House is not in place, the president should wait!
