"are you crazy?"
On the other end of the phone, the old man Shen Bi shouted loudly, "Why did you buy the Knicks for 800 million?"
"Neither the team name nor the arena name can be changed. There is no advertising benefit. Do you still need an NBA team to increase its popularity!"
The old man didn't care about the $800 million, he just thought the value of Sean's investment was not high.
"Then how do you think it makes sense to increase the popularity of Sean Bank?" Sean asked with a sneer.
"Cough, I think you buy Arsenal in London, and then build a brand new stadium for Arsenal. The name is Sean Stadium. This is very meaningful." Shen Bi coughed and said solemnly: "Football, football , that is the No. 1 sport in the world, the social card of Europe, whether you are a banker or a politician, whether you are a president or a civilian, owning a well-known football club is a business card that travels through Europe, which is more conducive to us opening up in Europe !"
"Oh, if I hadn't known that your whole family is a diehard Arsenal fan, I would have believed it!" Sean snorted coldly.
"What does this have to do with being an Arsenal fan? Don't question my work ethic. Besides, it's football, can it be compared to the NBA?" The old man Shen Bi immediately quit.
"What is a broken nba, I like it?"
"Okay, why not, then don't touch the bank's money!" The old man Shen Bi sneered.
"Then after I move Madison, the building built on the land will not be used by Sean Bank!" Sean sneered.
"Hey!" The old man Shen Bi regained his energy. You said this, I'm not sleepy anymore. "Build it, it must be built. It is taller and more luxurious than the HSBC Building!"
"800 million, it's very expensive!" Sean said strangely.
"It doesn't matter!" Shen Bi laughed and said, "It's only 800 million. If you have money, what our bank has is money!"
"Don't say 800 million, as long as the land can be obtained, and another 2 billion, the bank will be fine!"
"The status of Sean Bank cannot be without a decent headquarters!"
"Go back and apply for a new land with the city government and build a new arena." "Really?" Sean was shocked.
"What's real or fake, didn't I tell you last time, the monthly credit limit of 37 billion US dollars." Shen Bihao laughed.
In the old man's words, he dares to directly approve the loan for the current amount of 37 billion yuan. This is the result of Xiao's request to stabilize the operation, otherwise he dares to take it out several times.
The problem now is that Sean's banking business is not that wide, and he is in a hurry and can't lend out the money.
Of course, the kind of people who want to take out the cash after the loan will never give the loan, let them get out!
"Our Sean Bank is not short of money now, what is missing is investment projects, what is missing is events that are sensational in the United States and even the world, and what is missing is a display platform that matches its status and future expectations."
"Your idea is very good. The acquisition of the Knicks can be completed by Sean Bank!" "With a big fanfare, we must let people all over the United States and the world know about this!"
"800 million commercials, is it over?" Sean was speechless for a while, he could only say that he was indeed a business elite, right?
The speed is really fast.
"First, this is not a single advertisement, it is an asset, he is increasing in value rather than depreciating with the currency, second, he is not one day's advertising is permanent, third, too much money, can't spend it, put virtual The credit is replaced by the team, which itself is making money.”
"If you can get the land again, it will be a real profit."
"It's not that easy, and I have to persuade the New York City government to find a way to find a place for the new stadium. Manhattan is so expensive, how can it be so easy!" Sean snorted coldly and put on his posture.
"That's someone else!" Shen Bi laughed and flattered, "Who are you?"
"You are Sean!"
"It's hard for others, but for you, Sean Rockefeller, it's still not easy to catch!"
"Hoohoo hahaha... If you can talk, talk more!" Sean couldn't help laughing.
Shen Bi, an old gangster, only has such a sweet mouth when he competes with HSBC!
Chapter 441: The True Value of the Knicks
It can be seen that when HSBC kicked out Shen Bi, it really hurt the old man's heart.
"You are no longer the person you used to be. You are already forming the prototype of a consortium, and your investment ideas will also change. You used to invest in industries, but now you invest in industries."
"In the past, if you invested a few hundred million at a time, it was very high, because you didn't have that much capital, but now it is different, you can easily mobilize tens of billions of funds, and the industry can't afford such a company with ordinary funds. , it will kill them!"
"In the past, when you invested, you looked at short-term profits, but now, you have to look at long-term profits. It's still the same sentence. Your identity is different. You don't need to pay attention to whether you make money for a while!"
After chatting for a while, the phone hung up, and the matter was settled.
For the rest, Sean doesn't have to worry about it. He gave old Dolan $800 million, enough to motivate the old guy and break his leg for this matter.
Sure enough, within a few days, Dolan came to the news that his father had persuaded Martin Davis that Gulf Western Industries agreed to sell the property rights and land of Madison Gardens, just for the price, it was indeed more beautiful.
Madison Gardens is priced at $600 million and land ownership is $1.3 billion.
At this price, Sean only sticks his tongue out when he hears it, it's too expensive!
Sean contacted Shen Bi, and Shen Bi answered very succinctly, "It's a little more expensive, but no problem, just one word, buy it!"
According to Shen Bi, this is a fixed asset investment, and the land in Manhattan Island is the most valuable fixed asset investment in the world.
Better value than gold!
"I made a request to the Gulf Western industry, not to put the settlement business in the Sean Bank, but the Gulf company needs to settle the money within our bank. Even if it can't keep all of it, it can keep most of it, and it can still pull in the money. to a group of customers.”
"Even if it has to be settled for other banks, it is also an internal matter of the banking system, and in fact it may not be able to spend much money."
"Besides, the credit is spent, and the most valuable land is exchanged. This land is more valuable in the hands of the bank than cash, and the cash will gradually depreciate over time. However, the land in Manhattan is not meeting!"
"You know what that means!"
"Unless the US is no longer the world's largest country, there is no way the land here will drop in price and there will never be a shortage of buyers!"
"If you can exchange your credit for valuable land or real estate, let alone 2 billion, 20 billion is fine, I'm afraid you won't be able to find so many valuable land and real estate!"
"You're wrong about this, I can really find it!" When Shen Bi mentioned this, Sean thought of one thing. The old man Huang from Chinatown in New York had approached him twice before. gave up.
Now it seems that it is not that there is no money to make, but that he will not make it! "Do you really have it?" The old man Shen Bi was shocked, "Really? Tell me!"
"Look, there's no rush. When I finish what I'm doing, no one else can earn this money!" Sean laughed and sold a lawsuit.
Even if things are generally settled here, most of the remaining things only need to be completed by the people below, but Sean still needs to go through a cutscene.
According to the regulations of the NBA league, a team ownership transaction must obtain the consent of the other owners of the 29 teams to be considered a legal transaction.
The headquarters of the NBA League Association is located in the Olympic Tower Building at 645 Fifth Avenue in New York, where a general meeting will be held to vote on whether to agree to the transaction.
The owners of the other 28 teams all came this time, and they rushed to protect the umbrella in the Los Angeles riot. The Bass family in Los Angeles must give Sean this face.
Although the Boston consortium has a lot of competition with Rockefeller, it will never interfere in this matter.
As for the other bosses...
In the conference room, Sean looked around with his arms in his arms.
Sean wants to buy the Knicks, who is for and who is against!
Well, this sentence was asked by David Stern.
As a result, everyone raised their hands in agreement and applauded. Don't say anything else, now Sean is also everyone's gold master father
Chapter 441: The True Value of the Knicks
One, the NBA's latest four-year broadcast rights were bought by New Century Sports and Fox Sports.
It is the entry of Sean and Murdoch that makes the NBA team's brand value higher, and eventually the money will be evenly distributed among all 29 teams.
This will not only increase the revenue of each team by 5.5 million per year, but also allow more broadcast exposure to sell better stadium advertisements and drive greater revenue.
Especially David Stern, he very much welcomes Sean to invest in the NBA, which shows that the money scene of the NBA is optimistic. He hopes that more rich people will join in, become bigger and stronger, and create greater glories!
After the voting was over, there was another banquet, and Sean naturally became the focus of the crowd. Who made Sean rich and master the media?
With the exception of the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, the owners of other teams can't wait to pounce on Sean's thigh.
Before, there were only three free-to-air TV stations for live broadcasts, and there were very few shows, except for the black and white hegemony Green Kai and the Lakers
In addition, only the Knicks have three national broadcasts. If other teams want to be exposed nationwide, they can only count on playing against the two teams.
And the chance of playing live is very low...
In short, it may not be possible to have the last live broadcast in the United States throughout the year. The situation is so bad that we can only rely on local TV stations.
In addition to the Green Kai, Lakers, and Knicks last year, Chicago was the most fished twice because of Jordan.
How miserable!
Sean found Stern alone after dealing with the owners of each team. In his previous life, there was a lot of rumors about Stern squatting at the gate of CCTV in the winter in order to develop the Chinese market.
Of course, I don't know if it's true or not.
Sean chatted with Stern about the overseas market, which immediately made Stern feel like he had met a confidant.
Hearing that Stern hadn't gone to China yet, Sean said with a big smile, "You don't have to worry about CCTV, I'll do it for you, just a phone call."
Stern was overjoyed. Naturally, he would not suspect that Sean was bragging. The upper class in the United States knew that the East-American relationship promoted by the Rockefeller family broke the ice and invested in the East for nearly a hundred years.
And Sean is fluent in Chinese. The case with the three Japanese companies that was raging before was the agent for the umbrella to pick up from the east.
Therefore, Stern has no doubt that Sean's shot will definitely make the NBA make waves in the east.
Everything is done, and then a press conference will be held.
At this time, there was no sound from the outside world.
The main thing is that things happened too suddenly and the deals were done too quickly.
800 million, if you say it, you will pay it. Under normal circumstances, it is normal to talk about such a big deal for a year or a half.
Therefore, when the NBA official and the Knicks held a joint press conference, all the people who came were puzzled. It was not long after the continuous broadcast contracts signed with New Century and Fox. What big news is this?
For the Knicks changing hands, David. Stern attaches great importance to this meeting, so he personally presided over the meeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a piece of news for you, and just now, Union headquarters approved a deal."
"Mr. Dolan transferred the ownership of the New York Knicks to Mr. Sean Rockefeller. Here, we are very grateful to the Dolan family for their hard work and dedication to the Knicks. We also welcome Mr. Sean to the NBA family. ."
Wow...the scene was fried in an instant!
The Dolan family does have a good reputation in New York, but that's all there is to it. There are many rich and powerful families in New York, and the Dolan family can't be ranked.
But, Sean is different!
Even if you don't mention Rockefeller, Sean alone is the most famous in the United States. Who doesn't know that umbrella private military contractors are all over the world, bombing yl, defeating the Malay government army, defeating the Moroccan government army, and making a name for the United States.
It's just to say how many Umbrellas have killed over the years in the United States... how many major cases have been done...
Uh... After thinking about it, it seems that the whole thing is murder.
Therefore, many reporters present had strange expressions on their faces.
Chapter 441: The True Value of the Knicks
I would like to know how the players of other NBA teams are feeling now?
Will there be pressure to play against the Knicks again?
Anyway, I don't know if the players of other teams are under pressure. The Knicks players were asked to watch TV collectively, and they were all dumbfounded at the moment.
No, this is a change of boss? Is it so sudden?
Sean...
"Ewing, do you understand... er, our new boss?" Mark Jackson looked at the 70-year-old man beside him with a sad expression.
"Of course I understand that the Peace Hotel is great, and he is also the owner there, so maybe we can get a discount when we go to the Peace Hotel in the future!" Ewing said with a wry smile.
The Golden Club became famous back then because Ewing helped promote it...
Pure old-fashioned batch!
"You know, that's not what I said!" Mark Jackson spread his hands.
"Otherwise, what do you want me to say?" Ewing rolled his big lips and said angrily: "Said that there will be more than a dozen parasol soldiers holding guns on the sidelines of training in the future, who the **** is that? He was lazy in training and shot him in the ass?"
"No way!!" There was a miserable cry in the locker room.
Coach Rick Pitino also frowned. He also didn't know about the team's change of owner before. The new owner is so young, and I heard that he has an explosive temper, a ruthless heart, and kills without blinking. This...
If the boss intervenes in team training or tactics in the future, should I agree?
I don't agree, the boss won't throw me into the sea to feed the sharks?
Also, what if the grades are not good?
Will you be beaten?
In this matter, let alone the players have no bottom, he, the head coach, has no bottom either.
Fortunately, the team manager was promised that Sean would not fire him, at least not this year.
Inside the TV, at the press conference, after a while of commotion, the reporters asked, "Mr. Stern, how much is the price of this transaction?"
"Let both parties answer this question themselves." Stern waved with a smile, and Sean and Dolan walked onto the podium with a smile.
The two signed their autographs in front of everyone, exchanged their hands, and finally shook hands for everyone to take pictures. In the end, Sean gave in and gave Old Dolan the chance to be in the limelight.
"We can be sure that Mr. Sean is a sports fan who likes the NBA and the Knicks very much. He is a die-hard Knicks fan. For the Knicks, Mr. Sean is willing to pay everything. The price of this transaction is $800 million!"
800 million! !
As soon as this price came out, everyone at the scene, including the audience in front of the TV, exploded!
It is foreseeable that this matter is bound to be scheduled for tomorrow's front page headlines, "The NBA shocks a shocking deal, the Knicks are worth $800 million! 》
"Rockefeller is optimistic about the prospects of the NBA, and the market value of the NBA team ushered in a blowout"
The market value mentioned before is false, and real money is the final conclusion.
Of course, more people think that Sean is crazy, spending so much money to buy the Knicks, is it not a loss?
800 million, not 80 million!
Not enough, at this moment everyone is convinced that Sean must be true love for basketball and the Knicks!
Not true love would not pay so much.
In addition, old Dolan is making money!
In fact, other team owners don't know how much they envy Old Dolan, and can't wait to take it out. If you don't need 800 million or 80 million, I will sell it to you!
After the noisy press conference was over, Sean finally stopped. He didn't need to take care of the publicity, and New Century would do it well.
Sean Bank will also follow up and release information to the public. It is very interesting to see that the American Sports League has acquired 100% of the equity of the Knicks team.
And Sean, now in Madison Square Garden, he wants to take a good look at this big toy that cost 800 million to buy.
There was a game in the evening, and everyone from the team was there. When I heard that the boss was coming, the general manager of the team took it and went to the underground parking lot to greet him.
Sean got out of the car and saw the gorilla at a glance, good guy, I don't think it at a distance, but it is really tall and strong at close range, compared to the body.
Chapter 441: The True Value of the Knicks
Torre, who is two meters tall, is still strong!
The team of 13 people, plus the coaching team, plus the management team all arrived, standing neatly in two rows.
As soon as he saw Sean getting out of the car, he immediately shouted at the same time, "Welcome boss!"
All of them had smiles on their faces, and their attitudes were particularly correct.
Sean glanced at Old Dolan next to him. Before he came, Old Dolan told him that the team was stubborn, and these players were also very rebellious. Now it seems that this is obviously not the case.
Modest and polite attitude, very good!
Old Dolan's mouth twitched, his eyes swept over the management and the players. When I came here before, you were not like this!
He also said that the players are training and that they can’t be disturbed. I want to see the players go to the training hall. The players just smiled and said hello when they saw him.
Especially the **** who looks like a gorilla, the most arrogant!
What about your rebelliousness?
Everyone has become a doorman, right?
Ewing: If you go out with 15 bodyguards with live ammunition, we are also right!
Yes, the parking lot is under martial law now. Fifteen bodyguards with guns and live ammunition are murderous. I don't know why, but when I see them, my mood suddenly calms down!
Of course, Old Dolan knew why, but that's why he was angry. Isn't that just saying that he is soft!
Even if you show your deference to the new boss, you can't change the time.
Management: No change, first impression is very important.
Sean smiled and walked to Ewing who was standing in the first row of the player team. He aimed his hand at Ewing's chest and punched him, "You're the gorilla!"
Ewing opened his mouth wide, and he didn't mind hammering his chest again, like a gorilla.
Old Dolan lowered his head and rubbed his eyebrows. What about arrogance?
Sean smiled and shook hands with the gorilla. That hand was really big. Then there was Mark Jackson, Sean deliberately looked down at the guy's butt, it was really big.
When it came to Charles Oakley, the old oak tree, Sean also punched this guy, "I heard that you fight very well?"
"Hehe, hehe." The old oak man was stunned, he could only laugh.
"Do you know the boxing match in the underground of the Peace Hotel?"
The old oak nodded.
"You are still too immature to fight. I will arrange for someone to train you specially during the offseason!" Sean said with a smile.
The coach next to him, Rick Pitino, really wanted to hold Sean. If he didn't teach him, he would already be a famous court villain. Are you trying to kill someone?
However, considering safety issues, Rick Pitino chose to shut up.
After chatting for a while, Sean came to the arena with a group of people. He was still curious about how to train, so he chose to stay on the sidelines and chat with the management while watching the players train.
When Sean is in public, it's normal for a few bodyguards to follow him, right?
So, when Ewing started training, he slapped himself hard, this stinky mouth!
What did you say, there are really soldiers with guns standing on the sidelines watching the training?
Everyone doesn't look at Ewing well. Everyone doesn't look at Ewing well.
However, there is nothing to say about the training attitude. If it weren't for the fear of training the players too much, Rick Pitino would have wanted Sean to send a few soldiers to the training hall!
That is to say, I don't know that the coach has this dangerous idea. If they knew, the players would definitely dare to kneel to the coach.
On the sidelines, Sean stood with the management and said slowly: "I know that the NBA is not only about the league, but also about the world. If I don't understand it, I won't participate."
"I still need Mr. Sean's guidance!" The manager said quickly.
"However, as the management, you must also make achievements for me." Sean showed his own management philosophy, and gave the most sincere greetings when we first met~www.novelbuddy.com~ I don't I hope that people are superfluous, and I don't want people to poach the Knicks for personal gain. "
"I will not be less than a point in the salary that should be given. I am a generous boss, but if anyone does something wrong to the team or wrong to me, then I will send his family to Africa to develop a basketball career! "
Chapter 441: The True Value of the Knicks
"Do you understand!"
"Understood!" The management shouted in unison.
Dolan: He threatens you, won't you get a lawyer to sue him?
Are you arrogant? What about your temper? What about your dignity?
The Dolan father and son on the side were stunned. Is this Sean's management philosophy?
Learning is abolished, learning is abolishing!
…
ps: When you read this chapter, I was no longer there...
