One hundred and fifty-seven GIs

Although it was a little unpleasant to be released from the pigeon, fortunately, the two women did not ignore Su Zhen after that, but Su Zhen never succeeded whenever he wanted to relive the wonderful taste of that night.

That night, Su Zhen said that he wanted to buy a basketball team, not just talking, and quickly put it into action.

News Corp.'s Los Angeles headquarters building, after Su Zhen joined News Corp., Murdoch set up an office here specifically for Su Zhen, of course, Su Zhen only came to sit occasionally.

"BOSS, this is the information you want for the NBA team" Aikman handed a stack of materials to Su Zhen behind the desk.

Su Zhen picked it up and looked at it, the information of the owners of the twenty-nine (Bobcats only joined the NBA in 04) is here, Su Zhen buys the team without looking at the players, not looking at the coach, just look at their background and bosses, the players and coaches must be replaced after they are bought, the key is the probability of buying the team from these team owners, such as the Trail Blazers, Nets, Magic, Heat, Nuggets, these teams are definitely not bought, without it, the owners of these teams are relatively good.

Needless to say, the boss of the Trailblazers, Paul Allen, Bill Gates's former partner, one of the founders of Microsoft, a billionaire with a net worth of more than 20 billion, and the owner of the Nets is not small, the Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhov, who is not weaker than Abramovich, and the boss of the Magic is also a bull, Richdevas, the founder of the Amway Group. The Miami Heat is the owner of Carnival Cruise Line, Mitch Allison, this cruise company is the largest cruise tour company in the world, and the Queen Mary and the Princess of the Seas all belong to this company. The Nuggets, a sports mogul, are also Su Zhen's neighbors in Wyoming, although they themselves have nothing to be afraid of. But behind him stood Wal-Mart Group, he was the son-in-law of the Wal-Mart family, needless to say the Lakers, the lifeblood of Old Buss had no possibility of being sold.

As for other teams, after Su Zhen turned over, he felt that it was a little far away, basically he spent the most time in California and Wyoming, and maybe occasionally went to Illino and New York, but Su Zhen still preferred to buy a few teams in California. Nothing else, just near.

In this way, there are only four teams in California to choose from: the Clippers, Kings, and Warriors, and I have to say that California is indeed a golden state, and the rest of the United States generally has only one NBA team, but California has three.

Among the three teams, Su Zhen's favorite was indeed the Clippers, but after a little investigation, he gave up. Donald Sterling, the owner of the Clippers, is not a good-looking old guy, although this guy is a notoriously stingy guy in the NBA, but it is undeniable that he is really good at business, if Su Zhen goes up so rashly and says that he wants to buy the team. will definitely be slaughtered severely, Su Zhen has no penchant for being wronged.

So Su Zhen could only choose between the Kings and the Warriors, and Su Zhen finally set his sights on the Kings, which are located in Salamento, the capital of California. Its owners are the Marouf brothers, a tycoon of the casino industry.

As for what to choose the Ma'ruf brothers for, it's also very simple, because these two guys are poor.

That's right. is poor, although the Malouf brothers are the tycoons of the casino industry, but in recent years, the American casino industry has become more and more sluggish, so the assets of the two are extremely limited, in the previous 98-99 season of the NB shutdown and the later 2011 shutdown, the Marouf brothers are representatives of the management side can be seen, because the salary to the players greatly occupies their liquidity, and even in 2011, the two almost went bankrupt because of financial problems, and finally had to sell the Kings to Seattle, Compared to the Warriors' fan owner Joe Racob, the Ma'rouf brothers are obviously much better to deal with.

However, the acquisition naturally did not need Su Zhen to go by himself, and after confirming that the acquisition target was the Kings, Su Zhen made a phone call to Rachel in San Francisco and asked her to deal with related matters.

Now Rachel is a well-known western business woman, and it would be nice to leave this to her.

After determining the acquisition target, Su Zhen was in a good mood, thinking about whether it would be better to go to Charlize or Kate tonight.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in," Su Zhen shouted, seeing that it was Mark who came in, so he asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Boss, they're here," Mark replied, "are you going to check it out?" ”

Su Zhen nodded when he heard this, he knew who Mark was talking about, so he got up and walked out of the building with Mark and went to his Beverly manor.

In fact, Mark is not talking about anyone else, officially some time ago Su Zhen asked Mark to recruit security personnel, some of his former comrades-in-arms in Seal.

When Su Zhen saw these people, he found that these people were a little different from what he imagined, they were not the big men he imagined, nor did they have the exaggerated muscles of Stallone and Governor Arnold, just like Mark when he saw them, these people were no different from ordinary people outside when they were wearing ordinary clothes, only the light flashed in their eyes from time to time, which proved that this group of people was extraordinary.

"Hi Mark" When Su Zhen and Mark came over, these people greeted Mark one by one, because they have been discharged from the army for many years, these people are not like the newly discharged soldiers, every action reveals the habits of the army, but from the perspective of clothing, these people's lives after being discharged from the army are not very satisfactory, they are wearing dozens of dollars of cheap goods, and there are seven women sitting on the other side of this group.

"Hello everyone, let me introduce to you, this is my boss, and I will be your boss in the future, Su" Mark introduced, as soon as everyone heard that Su Zhen was the boss, they immediately stood up honestly, and gave the boss a good impression, they heard before they came that their boss was a super-rich man in the whole world.

Then he turned back to Su Zhen and said, "These 11 people are all my comrades-in-arms in the seals, and the seven female soldiers turned out to be from the army."

Su Zhen nodded when he heard this, different from the previous casualness, the momentum of this group of people was different immediately after they stood up.

"Very good, I think you should have heard Mark say before you came, your future mission is to protect the safety of me and my family, but in my opinion, although you can be said to be one of the best warriors in the world, but you will definitely not be a good bodyguard, you have been trained to kill the enemy, and the future task is to protect, these are two completely different concepts, so before you officially take office, I will send you to the security company for training" Su Zhen said, He's not a stunned young man who doesn't know anything, at least bodyguards and warriors are completely different professions, he still knows how to do it, people do murderous work, can you know how to protect people, the guards of the heads of state are all selected from the army, yes, but they also went through strict security training before taking office.

This group of people is tough, but it is estimated that they are not very good at how to protect people, as can be seen from Mark before, although the observation, force and everything are superior, but in terms of dealing with people, they are much worse, and they don't want a bunch of rough people, so Su Zhen contacted Carrick before, and prepared to let this group of people receive perfect security training in the DuPont family's security company first, as for what to do not directly invite the bodyguards of the security company, it is also very simple, that is the problem of trust, With the expansion of Su Zhen's strength in the future, it is inevitable that there will be some private work to do, and it is not so reassuring to use those people from the security company.

The 18 former GIs looked at each other, they really had no experience in protecting people, and what they had to do in the past was to kill those who were protected.

"Of course, you are all the elite of the elite, I believe that the training of the security company should be very simple for you, and during your training, the salary will be paid, but if you don't pass the final assessment, then I can only say sorry" Su Zhen shrugged his shoulders and said, "But before that, you can take a look at the contract I prepared for you."

At this time, Mark behind him distributed the contract that had been prepared in his hand to everyone, and when everyone took it in their hands, they couldn't help but exclaim, not for anything else, but the treatment given by Su Zhen was really good.

The first is the salary, the weekly salary during the training is 1,000 US dollars, and after passing the training, the annual salary is 60,000 US dollars, which is much higher than when Mark first came to Su Zhen's side, when Mark only got 50,000 yuan a year, but now the tide has already risen.
