America's Big Hero

As we all know, college leagues are pure, passionate sports that do not contain any impurities, and athletes participating in college games are also prohibited from receiving any form of remuneration.

To sum it up, college athletes are not allowed to get a penny.

The waters of business are too deep for you students to grasp, so leave it to the universities to grasp.

Take the NCAA as an example, earning $11 billion a year with tears...

What is pure basketball!

"Every year we invest 8 million US dollars in broadcast fees, and we also need to build new broadcast lines, program planning, staffing, etc., so..."

"What do you mean, this 15 billion is not enough for you?" Sean's mouth was twitching.

You are fucking burning money, it is really burning!

"Should, probably, maybe, almost enough." Chernin said without any confidence. "Theoretically speaking, the sports station can bring in a lot of income every year."

Heh, Sean rolled his big eyes, what the hell, I won't laugh at you if you say something with confidence.

However, Chernin was really not sure.

Dedicated sports cable premium channels, this is the first time in the US television market.

In the past, it was a free public channel to conduct live broadcasts across the United States, but there were very few live broadcasts, and professional paid sports channels were all small local channels.

However, Sean is more or less confident. After all, he remembers that in 2016, the broadcast contract signed by the NBA was 9 years and 240 billion US dollars.

This kind of growth rate is explosive, which means that the sports station does make money, a lot, otherwise the broadcast contract will not skyrocket.

So, what Sean can say is to give money...

It's just that I have no money in my hand, damn it!

Thinking of the NBA's ever-increasing income, Sean remembered his desire to acquire the New York Knicks, but where did the money come from?

Thinking of acquiring an NBA team, Sean thought of Paul Allen, his new best friend, who was also an avid sports fan.

So how much would it cost to acquire the New York Knicks plus Madison Square Garden?

Fuck Fake!

I don't know if I tell Shen Bi now that he will mobilize one billion from Sean Bank, will Shen Bi kill himself?

For a moment, Xiao En looked a little dazed, which made Chernin next to him feel a little confused. What do you mean, will you give me money?

After quite a while, when Sean came back to his senses, he realized that Cherning was looking at him eagerly like a little Gogou, and Sean couldn't help shivering with that look.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you the money later." Sean said a little speechlessly.

"Okay, Boss, then I'm fine." Cherning immediately smiled in relief.

Sean came and the money came!

After dismissing Chernin who was asking for money, Sean sat on the spot alone, squinting his eyes, playing with the...

Thinking, thinking, Xiao En squeezed it hard, and there was a whimper that sounded like pain and pleasure...

As an imposing boss, do you still need to consider the mood of your subordinates?

What a piece of shit, Shen Bi, just an old man, let him be wiped out with a wave of his hand!

What is money?

Money is a bastard!

Spend and earn again!

Knicks I'm sure, Jesus can't stop!

Do as soon as you think of it, Sean called Dolan on the phone.

……

"You want to buy the Knicks?" Dolan looked at Sean in a bewildered expression. He didn't expect this to be the first sentence Sean said when they met.

"Yes, I like the NBA, and New York is very close to me." Sean put his arms around Dolan's neck, "How about it, sell it to me!"

"No..." James Dolan's mouth was twitching, "You, it's too sudden."

"What's sudden, you just say it's over if you sell it or not!" Sean looked impatient.

"I..." James Dolan said with a tangled face: "First, I can't decide this matter. My father has the final say. Second, our family does not have full ownership of the Knicks."

Sean looked at Dolan with bright eyes, "How many shares are there?"

"Uh... 10%." Dolan said, turning his head.

Sean's face turned dark immediately, what a fart you have to take out that share.

However, after Dolan’s reminder, Sean remembered that it was 97 when the Dolan family took full ownership of the Knicks. At that time, after some equity transactions, they finally made up 3000 million US dollars.

However, in many media reports, it has become that the Dolan family bought the Knicks for 3000 million. In the previous life, Sean believed it. Later, he found out when he learned that the Bass family spent 1979 million to buy the ownership of the Lakers in 6700. cheated!

"Then ask your father, how much is he willing to sell!" Sean poked Dolan with his elbow.

"Do you have to buy it?"

"Don't buy it!"

"It's expensive!" Dolan tentatively said.

"Rich!" Sean pouted, with a nonchalant expression on his face.

"Okay, let me ask." Dolan shrugged. Now Dolan is still a playboy, not the Knicks owner.

Two days later...

When Dolan came to Kashima to negotiate the price with Sean, Sean was completely dumbfounded.

"No, how much is it?" Sean felt that he had heard wrong, raised his hand to pick his ear, and asked again.

"8 million!" Dolan repeated again.

"Are you crazy or am I crazy!" Sean yelled at Dolan: "I'm not a fool, okay, the Portland Trail Blazers who just traded this year are only 7000 million!"

"Brother, you also said, that's Portland, the Portland cornfield, that's in Maine!" Dolan spread his hands and said innocently: "This is New York, the largest city in the world , that's the New York Knicks, the best basketball team in America!"

"We won the championship twice, Madison is a basketball mecca, a holy land!"

"The best teams are the Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers!" Sean rolled his eyes.

"When the Bass family bought the Lakers for ten years, it was 7000 million. Besides, they will never sell the Lakers. All their investments are in sports. The Boston consortium will not allow the Celtics to be bought by others. Go!" Dolan shrugged, don't mention anything in business negotiations.

Although Dolan is a dude now, his basic qualities are not bad at all.

"That's too expensive, twelve times that of the Blazers. Can the Lakers' market value increase so much in ten years!" Sean slapped his forehead hard, "Damn it!"

"The bulls are cheap. They were sold for 3 million three years ago." Dolan shrugged and said enviously, "That guy made a lot of money. They chose a good one. That kid Jordan played really well. Now the value of the bull has at least tripled!"

"Don't yell at me, it's my father's decision. Besides, I never thought about selling the team." Dolan whispered, "If you insist on buying it, you don't know what's good about it."

Sean sat there rubbing his forehead.

Before, he estimated that the Knicks were worth 3 million at most. He never expected it.

8 billion!

What a fucking lucky number.

Sean wondered if all the other NBA teams were worth 8 million without the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and Celtics!

He had the guts to just switch to a different team, such as the Bulls. Jordan was still a rookie, and [-] million could definitely be dropped from Jerry's hands. However, it was impossible for Sean to live in that damn place in Chicago.

Or hit the Lakers?

Well, the Lakers probably won’t be much cheaper. When the Bass family was able to buy the Lakers, the Lakers were in a low period. After buying it, they won 9 championships in 5 years, and their market value skyrocketed...

It can be predicted that the future is the financial era, and finance controls the world, so Sean's main place of residence must be in New York, the world's largest financial center.

Besides, Rockefeller's foundation is also in New York, and he will inevitably be in charge of Rockefeller in the future.

As for old man David...

That's just an old man who works for me! !

So, is it a loss to buy the Knicks for 8 million?

From the perspective of investment, it must be a loss, 8 million. Whatever Sean does now, the future value will far exceed the Knicks, several times, ten times.

But if you want to say a loss... Xiao En frowned and thought about it for a long time, and it seemed that he was not at a loss.

After all, after all, what he wanted was not the money to invest, but something to invest in!

The land in Pudong is still very cheap, but can Xiao En go for a large-scale acquisition?

Obviously not, the Eastern government is not stupid...

The last time I bought a palace in the capital was already the bottom line.

Going to the east to develop large-scale real estate or something, don't say whether Sean is interested, the east will not agree.

The purpose of opening up the market is to exchange the market for technology, not to make money for you. Large real estate companies have almost no foreign capital.

Of course, it is not prohibited in principle. In fact, foreign capital is only Hong Kong capital, such as Sun Hung Kai, Cheung Kong, Wheelock, Henderson, Hang Lung, and New World.

However, Sean can get rich through the Asian Investment Bank and the Chinese in Southeast Asia.

Many other lucrative investments were either made at the wrong time or were simply not eligible to touch.

What the investment market lacks is never funds, what is lacking is valuable projects, funds, etc. Banks have too much...

After all, it is a place where 1 yuan can be regarded as a hundred thousand million dollars.

Just like the money Sean invested in Microsoft and Oracle before, because the settlement bank was changed to Sean Bank, in the end most of it still had to be circulated within the bank, but it was not spent at all.

Of course, the premise is that you don’t fail to invest, and you still have to count losses if you fail.

After digging his ears, Sean stomped his feet cruelly, damn it, I have worked so hard to grab so much money, why the hell can't I spend some money for my hobbies?

Spend some time, even if...

The money he worked so hard to rob all these years has been fucking invested by his subordinates. Speaking of enjoyment, there is nothing but a deer island and a palace in the air.

The more Sean thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved, he stood up abruptly, stared at Dolan fiercely, his eyes widened, and Dolan shivered in fright, "What are you doing? My dad, it is he who wants to quote such a price, not me!"

Sean: "..."

What a loving father and filial son, so filial.

"Tell me your dad, 8 million, I agree, I won't bargain with him, but I have to get the rest of the messy equity, I want a complete Knicks, and let him do it for me Martin Davis of Gulf Western Industries, I want to buy the ownership of Madison Square Garden together, including the land!"

"I, Sean, won't use other people's arenas!" Sean gritted his teeth, and those who didn't know thought he was going to eat people.

How could Sean really be willing to be taken advantage of just to win the Knicks? He has taken a fancy to the land of Madison Garden.

By the way, when Mitsubishi Estate acquired Rockefeller Center, what it acquired was the property and management rights of the building, not the land, which is much more expensive than the building...

Sean Bank has entered the top [-] financial institutions in the United States, and it is already a certainty to go further. Therefore, building a global headquarters is a must, and it is a manifestation of strength, just like the boss's car.

I planned to get a piece of land through the Chinese gang in Chinatown before, but it is still slowly accumulating, very slowly.

There is no way around this. The center of global finance is in New York, and the center of New York is in Manhattan. Land is so scarce.

The ownership of Madison Square Garden changed hands several times, and every time they moved, a skyscraper would be built on the original site, and Sean took a fancy to this.

Is there any unprofitable way to develop real estate in Manhattan, New York?

Why do you have to move three times if you really don't make money?

Can others move it?Can't I, Sean, move?

Besides, Rockefeller developed a lot of real estate in New York, not to mention the famous Rockefeller Center, including the investor behind the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the builder of the World Trade Center, is also the Rockefeller family.

Now, Madison Gardens is in the hands of Gulf Western Industries, while Martin Davis is also the parent company of Paramount.

Of course, Sean knew Martin Davis, and we had met several times, but it would take human affection to buy the ownership of Madison from the other party.

Old Dolan made a lot of money from him, and of course it was the old Dolan's responsibility.

Debts of favor are the most difficult to repay.

Dolan looked at Sean in shock, with an unbelievable expression on his face, "No, you really agreed?"

"Crazy, 8 million, what can I do wrong?" Dolan looked at Sean with a tangled expression, "You really decided? I feel worthless for you!"

Sean secretly rolled his eyes, Dolan is a good friend, what a real friend!

It's the kind that really sticks knives for friends. Apart from a bad brain, there are no shortcomings...
