Chapter 447: Acquisition of the New York Yankees
Originally, after the retirement of "Joe's Gang Leader", countless people who looked down on the Bulls closed their mouths at this moment, because this big deal swelled everyone's faces. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If it is said that the combat effectiveness of the Bulls team with the "Qiao Gang Leader" is 100, then after losing the "Qiao Gang Leader", the combat effectiveness of the Bulls can be forcibly increased to 70 at most - after all, the "Second Master Pi" is not a vegetarian. However, the combat power of 70 has absolutely no hope of winning the championship in the NBA league, even with the coaching bonus of the "Zen master" Phil Jackson, at most it is only a first and second round of the playoffs.
However, after this big deal, the Bulls have successively eaten the "Big Dream" Olajuwon and the "Big Bug" Rodman, so although the strength of the Bulls is still not as good as the "Jordan era", it can be regarded as a reduced version of the "full blood resurrection".
With super center "Big Dream" Olajuwon, super small forward "Pi Erye", and big forward Rodman at the level of the first defensive lineup, plus BJ Armstrong, Tony Kukachi, Steve Kerr and other support players, the current Bulls are enough to crush other teams in the league. If nothing else, next year's O'Brien Cup will be held in Chicago, the Windy City.
Now it's good, the fans who were originally worried that the Bulls will become a "fish belly" are completely relieved, and they have sung an ode to the local tyrant owner of the "Tianchen Fund" - the fans are cute, they are like this, as long as it is good for the team, they do not hesitate to praise.
While the Bulls fans were happy, the owners and fans of other NBA teams couldn't be happier. It turned out that they were quite happy, after all, with the retirement of the "Joe Gang Leader", the "Red Bull Storm" that weighed on their heads could finally gradually dissipate.
However, who would have thought that there would be a Michael Jordan and two strong reinforcements, Hakim Olajuwon and Dennis Rodman. Well, the strength of the Bulls doesn't seem to have dropped much at all, so how can people play with this? Or just send the championship to the Bulls.
Indeed, now many team owners and fans are slandering the league's official bias in favor of the Bulls, which is obviously not giving other teams a way to live - this is to create a "Red Army" who "enters the finals and wins nine championships"?
Of course, for the league officials, the owners of these teams still don't dare to blow up the stab on the surface, after all, just give you a little shoe to wear. As a result, all the anger of the other teams was vented on the Pistons and the Rockets, and they scolded the uniform teams of these two teams as "brain-dead".
Still, no matter how much the other teams complain and curse the streets, now the Bulls get what they want -- and that's enough.
Regarding these bad things that happened in the NBA league, Su Chenyu didn't have time to deal with it now, because he now had another big toy.
Among the four major professional sports leagues in the United States, the NFL (National Basketball League) is the well-deserved No. 1, and the second place is a bit of a disagreement - basketball fans say that the NBA has the strength to rank second, but baseball fans will definitely say that M-LB (American League Baseball) is a complete NBA. In fact, if you talk about the influence in the United States alone, the NBA really can't compare with the NFL and M LB, and it's just half a pound or two (NBA fans don't spray me, I'm telling the truth).
Because in China, baseball is not widely popularized, and it is more than 108,000 miles worse than basketball, so many Chinese fans can be like a treasure for NBA teams, but for baseball teams, it's hehe.
When it comes to New York, the world's largest metropolis, many NBA fans must know that there is a "awesome" team here - the New York Knicks. The reason why the New York Knicks are "awesome" is not because of his team's "awesome" record, nor because of how many championships he has, but because his owner is too brainless.
James Dolan, hehe, a "maker" of NBA league garbage contracts, a "great" "philanthropist", this guy single-handedly created garbage contracts can go around the globe and give many mediocre players a big contract.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he is in New York, the world's largest metropolis, James Dolan is backed by a "big backer" like Limited TV Corporation, and a super gold-absorbing arena like Maxon Garden, the New York Knicks would have lost all their pants. But there is no way, who makes the family a "second generation" born with a "golden key", and a group of "aristocratic fans" in New York who pretend to have no lower limit, no matter how bad the New York Knicks' record is, the ball market is explosive.
Of course, the New York Knicks' record is still quite good, more than 10,000 times stronger than the "Dolan era" in the later generations, after all, the "rich second generation" James Dolan has not yet come to power, and this guy was sent to the "drug rehab center" because of drug abuse this year.
However, it can also be seen that in the New York sports world, any team can make money, who makes New York have more "aristocratic fans".
Compared with the New York Knicks, the "belly" of the NBA, there is a great team in New York - the New York Yankees, an MLB baseball team that can symbolize the American spirit and culture.
A cartoon about New York once wrote, "If you want to make friends with a New Yorker, tell him you're a big fan of the Yankees." "On the other hand, if a New Yorker invites you to a game at the Yankees' home court, it means that you already have a good relationship.
Yes, the big toy that Su Chenyu likes is him - the New York Yankees.
As an important piece of the puzzle of his sports empire, American professional baseball is a field that Su Chenyu has always wanted to step into, and the New York Yankees are the "big toy" he dreams of. Therefore, this time, taking advantage of the opportunity of "Jordan's retirement", Su Chenyu is ready to take down this "big toy" in one go.
The Steinbriner family, the owners of the New York Yankees, have been owners of this great team since they took over in the '70s and into later generations. But unfortunately, this time, because of the birth of Su Chenyu, the Steinbriner family may have to say "byebye" to the New York Yankees.
Yes, the Steinbriner family is rich, but it depends on who they compare with, compared with the "poor" like Alexander, the owner of the Rockets, their family is naturally a "local tyrant". However, if you compare it with Su Chenyu, hehe, he is a "beggar" who is too poor to be poor.
George Steinbrina, the current owner of the New York Yankees, bought the team from CBS in 1973 for $10 million. And, after 20 years of development, George Steinbriner has led the New York Yankees to become the MVB most valuable team.
However, in the past few days, George Steinbriner has been quite upset, because he never thought that the New York Yankees, who had allowed his assets to swell rapidly, would actually bring him a catastrophe today.
Just a few days ago, George Steinbriner received an offer from Andy Brent, the plenipotentiary of the Tianchen Sports Development Fund, to buy the New York Yankees at $1.8 billion -- quite an attractive price. However, without any hesitation, George Steinbriner directly rejected the offer, after all, he has regarded the New York Yankees as his "son" for so many years.
However, I didn't expect that such a refusal would cause a lot of trouble, and Andy Brent, who was still kind before, actually tore his face all of a sudden, and directly gave an ultimatum - either the Steinbriner family gave up the New York Yankees, or they would go to hell with the New York Yankees.
In the face of Andy Brent's threat, George Steinbriner did not dare to say cruel words, because he knew the background of this Tianchen Sports Development Fund, and he knew that it was not just a verbal threat, but a real one.
As a veteran of the sports investment world for many years, George Steinbriner knows the Tianchen Sports Development Fund all the more - it owns two teams: the NBA Bulls and the Premier League Manchester United. The key is that this is not the key, the most important thing is that Tianchen Sports Development Fund also wholly owns the AJ brand and participates in Nike, a giant sports brand.
For George Steinbreiner, Tianchen Sports Development Fund is completely a "hungry wolf" that rushes in the face, and behind this "hungry wolf" stands a more powerful group of "financial monsters" - Tianchen Fund.
As the parent company of Tianchen Sports Development Fund, Tianchen Fund is an insurmountable mountain for George Steinbreiner. Even the investors he pulls on Wall Street don't seem to be of much use, because there seems to be a shadow of the "financial prehistoric monster" of Standard Chartered-Sumitomo Mitsui Bank and X Fund behind them.
All of these seem to be the ones that George Steinbriner can't provoke.
"Boss, that Mr. Andy Brent is here. ”
George Steinbrenner, who was sitting in his office in distress, was interrupted by the secretary who knocked on the door and said, "Let him in." ”
"Mr. Steinbriner, we're meeting again!" Andy Brent said with a smile as he walked into the office, "I wonder what you're thinking about?"
Looking at Andy Brent with a smile on his face, George Steinbriner couldn't wait to kick this face to the ground, so he said in a stiff tone: "Mr. Brent, you should also know what the New York Yankees mean to me, so ......"
"Do you mean that you have decided to reject our benevolent acquisition?" Andy Brent, who was still smiling just now, said with a grim face: "You should also know what it means to reject us? I don't want to see the Steinbriner family's estate come to naught overnight, you should know that we have this strength." ”
As soon as Andy Brent turned his face in an instant, and he didn't care about the threat of Red Fruit, George Steinbriner blushed and squeezed out a sentence - "I agree to sell the New York Yankees!"
