American Fortune Life
Chapter 512 Spending money is addictive
"The Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Mets?" Andy looked at the materials mainly focusing on these two baseball teams.
"Yes, the think tank has evaluated all aspects and believes that whether it is popularity or fan base, the priority is the Los Angeles Dodgers. After all, New York already has the Yankees, and the Mets cannot compete with them for the ball market.
The current Dodgers owner, Frank McCarter, is a real estate businessman who bought the Dodgers from media tycoon Rupert Murdoch for $430 million in 2004. However, due to McCarter's extravagant life and the payment of a huge divorce alimony of 130 million US dollars, the team's financial situation deteriorated and it went bankrupt. Boss, you know what the real estate situation in the United States is like now. After a while, I'm afraid this Frank McCarter will think of all ways to get money. I think you can buy the Dodgers without spending too much money. "
"OK! Thanks for the subprime mortgage crisis!" Andy leaned comfortably on the boss's chair, smiled and patted the armrest of the boss's chair. He felt really happy.
Andy had heard of the Dodgers in his previous life, probably because in 2010, a government-backed company in Rabbit Country joined the Dodgers’ bid for bankruptcy protection, but it failed in the end. At that time, the Dodgers were acquired by Magic Johnson. The 10-member billionaire team led by him was acquired, and the final transaction price was 1.3 billion US dollars.
But it seems that I don't need to spend so much money to earn this global brand.
"Then let's first set up a sports advisory team. The basketball team is dominated by the Houston Rockets, with the Golden State Warriors as the second choice; the football New York Giants; the baseball team with the Los Angeles Dodgers as the main goal. It’s not too bad, let people ask if the New York Red Bulls are for sale, and tell them that they can still name them, if it’s cheap, buy it, and then find a few retired international stars to come over and stimulate New York’s football City, I think it's still a bit tricky!"
As Andy said, he couldn't calm down more and more. Nima, it feels really good to spend money. No wonder so many desert tyrants like to beat people with money. It's really enjoyable!
"Good boss, we will let people always pay attention to the situation of these teams and the economic 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 will join the US team to participate in the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, by then, the storm on Wall Street may have begun to rage, God bless America... .”
Andy asked again, and without losing the opportunity, sighed, as if he loved America so much, Alvetrie rolled his eyes silently, and left the office with a black line on his forehead.
It wasn't long before The Observer's Pete Kaplan walked in with a portfolio.
When Andy saw the file bag in Pete's hand, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitched a few times, and he felt a toothache unconsciously.
"Okay, Pete, what secret did you bring me again, my God, why did you get more of this material than Newsweek?"
Andy stretched out his hand to cover his face, and with a wry smile, he looked at Pete Kaplan who was already sitting across from him and laughed.
"It's all thanks to the previous reports of resisting the pressure, but don't be nervous, boss, the news this time is not very lethal..."
As he spoke, he handed the document bag to Andy, and while Andy opened the document bag and took out the documents, he said: "Idaho Senator Larry Craig's airport toilet "harassment incident", a man named Dave The man accused Larry Craig of patting his foot in an airport restroom, and Dave believes it was Larry Craig signaling to him that he wanted to have that kind of behavior with him.
Larry Craig, 62, married, is serving his third term in the Senate and will run for his fourth term next year. He served in the House of Representatives for 10 years before entering the Senate in 1990. He is also currently a senior supporter of Elephant Party presidential candidate Mitt Romney and has been a campaign liaison since February. "
Andy pinched the bridge of his nose, looked at Pete Kaplan bitterly and said, "Peter, can we stop staring at the Elephant Party pit all day long?"
Speaking of throwing the documents on the desk, he was really speechless. The Smith family is a hardcore elephant political family. Nima, he has already pulled down a party whip, and now a senior senator has come.
"Ahem, boss, didn't I use this to tell you? How to deal with it is up to you. The other news is about Ben Ladeng. The informant said that he has been suffering from severe kidney disease. He has been living on one kidney since 2004, and his body is weak. Authoritative sources disclosed that bin Laden's condition worsened this year, and bin Laden died of kidney failure. The source pointed out that the United States knew that bin Laden was dead. The video and audio recordings about bin Laden were made by American experts and played for the sake of achieve their objectives in the region."
Andy laughed out loud, who knows better than him whether Ben Ladeng is alive and where he is hiding? This news is totally fake news.
"Peter, you should kill the person who gave you this news. The authenticity of this news is very low. I believe it was fabricated by someone with a heart. This can be published, but please post it as a joke. I think this news may increase. If the sales volume is low, find some detailed information to demonstrate, and don’t draw conclusions.”
After sending Peter Kaplan away, Andy frowned, tapped the information on the table with the pen in his hand, and finally picked up the phone and called Old Smith in Washington.
After hanging up the phone, Andy couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, damn it, it's just nonsense all day long, next year is the election year, all kinds of nonsense will come out.
It seems that Ao Hei Niu also had a scandal. Yes, if Andy remembers correctly, he should have stayed in a hotel with his female assistant when he ran for the Senate. Tsk tsk, the presidential campaign is like this. It is also endless.
At noon lunch, Andy was waiting for Ivana's arrival in a western restaurant.
"I'm sorry, honey, I just finished the meeting..." After Ivana arrived, she kissed Andy with an apologetic face.
"Wow, I can understand, you always have to change clothes! You are amazing, I like your dress." Andy looked at Ivana, who was no longer wearing the professional dress when she went out in the morning, and couldn't help He raised his eyebrows and teased.
Inside is a white shirt with a chiffon drape fabric with a pointed collar, and outside is a sleeveless, waist-length, knee-length white dress with black and white flowers that look like splashed ink, which is extremely elegant and beautiful.
"Thank you, this is our company's new model. I fell in love with it when I saw the design drawing." Ivana's beautiful eyes turned into crescent moons when she was praised by her boyfriend.
The lunch was hearty, and the after-dinner coffee accompanied the two of them through a bright afternoon.
"Mr. Smith, please rest assured that our experience in transforming private jets is absolutely unmatched by other companies. Ms. Ivana should have experience. The Boeing 757 we transformed for Mr. CP, Mr. CP is very satisfied..."
In the office, Andy and Ivana sat next to each other, looking at the representatives sent by Boeing, displaying the latest passenger aircraft on the writing board behind them.
The 757 is powered by Rolls-Royce engines, and this Boeing is one of the fastest airplanes in the world. It is capable of flying over 500 miles per hour while being very roomy. Typically, a Boeing 757 can carry nearly 250 passengers. CP's 757 has only 43 seats!
The plane is equipped with a dining room, a bedroom and a private guest room. It also features 24-carat gold faucets for the bathtub and seat buckles and a state-of-the-art 18 IMAX-level speaker Blade Cinema System.
Thinking of her own plane, Ivana couldn't help nodding her head in agreement. After all, it was covered with CP logos from inside to outside, and the 757 full of CP family characteristics was an important means of transportation for their family.
"Boeing 747-200B, if I need you to follow President One, except for the safety precautions against nuclear explosions and nuclear dust, how long will it take to see my plane?" Andy has always emphasized safety, let alone him This kind of rich man with assets of less than tens of billions is not enough. Even the little Rockefeller Dunima died in a plane crash, leaving behind so much money that he could not enjoy the tragic case. He had to ensure safety first no matter what.
Ivana smiled bitterly, looking at her boyfriend with an extremely serious expression, she knew that this was what her man valued.
"The Boeing 747-200B series aircraft is equipped with 4,000 square feet (about 372 square meters) of cabin space, 3 floors, 2 kitchens that can feed 100 people, and is equipped with an operating room. The safety system can fully meet your requirements!" Boeing The smiles on the faces of the representatives of the company are almost as bright as ever, and this is a big order.
"It takes a year and a half to wait, but if Mr. Smith is in a hurry, we have a new Boeing model for your reference, which is also an upgraded version of the President's Air Force One, the 747 -8 VIPs!
We call it the Sky Palace, which is larger than Air Force One. The cabin space can reach 4,700 square feet (about 436 square meters), two floors high, equipped with an elevator, a restaurant that can accommodate 14 people, a 1 conference room, 1 lounge and 1 office, the remaining space can be transformed according to your needs.
The most important thing is that we have already manufactured two of this model, one for testing and the other for the White House to purchase. However, 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 writing board, his eyes lit up, and he looked sideways at Ivana, "How is it?"
Ivana smiled sweetly, gently brushed the golden hair around her ears, and said in a greasy voice, "You decide, what I care about is the interior design."
Andy smiled, looked back at the representative of Boeing, and said with a smile: "Hehe, you strongly recommend this one, I believe, the price is not cheap!"
"Because it was originally prepared for the White House, both the security system and the internal facilities are completed according to the standards of Air Force One. The internal facilities are very high-end and luxurious. The price of the aircraft itself is 200 million U.S. dollars!" Boeing representative The heart is extremely excited, the owner in front of him is not short of money, think about what the newspaper said, this Mr. Smith is holding 5 billion US dollars in cash, as for the president? Hehe, anyway, the White House budget is not in place, so the president should wait!
