American TV series

Do you think I’m promoting credit cards?

No, I am creating a new life and bringing convenience to more people!

Do you think I'm fighting crime? No, I'm promoting credit cards.

True or false, two seemingly unrelated things are often the real pros and cons!

Sean thought it was over after solving several major difficulties currently encountered by Sean's bank. In fact, just when Sean was about to run away, Peter Chernin came to the door.

This is the disadvantage of having too much business. Even if you are a hands-off shopkeeper, the actual workload is still very large.

"New Century's 24-hour news station has begun operations, and so far, it's fairly stable." Peter Chernin came up to share some good news.

Sean didn't have much hope for this 24-hour news station. Not to mention the first-mover advantage of Fox's 24-hour news station, News Corporation's global media network allowed them to far surpass them in terms of professionalism and timeliness of news.

Others were left behind.

We still need to slowly catch up in the new century.

"So?" Sean raised his eyebrows. Chel would rather not talk nonsense.

"So, what is the focus of our news station?" Peter Chernin said thoughtfully: "Every TV station has its own focus, such as youth, such as serious news, such as entertainment, etc., the news station

, Fox focuses on 24-hour international news, emphasizing timeliness, seriousness, and neutrality, so what about us?"

Sean frowned. It seemed that the form of expression was not important, but in fact, this was the key to the life and death of a TV station.

There are many different TV stations in the United States, including New Century, Fox, ABC, etc. The biggest advantage is in coverage. There are also more small local TV stations, and they all have their own unique skills to survive.

Therefore, the opponents in the new century are not just big TV stations such as Fox and ABC, but also numerous local small stations.

The first thing to do is to snatch users from Xiaotai, or let the boss fight with the second and beat the third to death.

"Our new century is generally youth-oriented. From the first day of establishment, our publicity has been biased towards youth storms." Sean considered and said: "So, what I mean is that in terms of news, it must also be in line with us.

Overall characteristics.”

"A group of young people, a serious person appeared in an entertainment program, it was too unexpected."

"We also report news, but we have to report it from a ridiculing perspective. For example, the previous Malay government incident, Fox's reporting direction was racial discrimination, reversing history, backwardness, and ignorance. So, can our reporting direction be to select a person?

The ten worst governments in the world this year.”

"Under what circumstances was such a stupid policy made?"

"Have you had any childhood shadows?"

“When a profile picture appears in the news, you can enlarge the head a little, which will make the person look more silly.

"Do you understand what I mean?" Sean tilted his head and looked at Chernin. Chernin looked at Sean with a suddenly enlightened look, "News entertainment, boss, I have to say, you are fucking

genius!"

"It's just that our editors have to work hard and probably lose a lot of hair.

…

"Hahaha, add a chicken drumstick to them, or you can go to Hollywood to recruit some editors who write comedy. Whatever you want, I believe you can handle it!" Sean smiled and said: "Okay, now you can say you came to me.

The real purpose.”

"Haha, haha." Chernin smiled and touched his nose, "That's right, boss, New Century still needs an allocation."

"Piu Liang!" Sean rolled his eyes, "I damn well know, what's going on?"

"The sports channel and the movie channel you mentioned, boss." Cherning said concisely.

"How much additional investment is needed in the budget?" Sean asked calmly.

Don’t ask, just ask and you will be rich!

It just made 2 billion six months ago and has not spent all of it. This time, Sean Bank plans to use free funds completely for expansion, and now it still has 1.2 billion in cash.

Well, it’s the 35 billion credit limit brought by the credit card, financial instruments and so on, Monero and the others use it (this chapter is not finished yet!)

There was no ambiguity at all, and Sean was frightened when he saw it.

This time, all investments in Microsoft, Oracle, and AOL were made with money from Sean Bank.

Sean didn't understand. It was still a net investment so far. He hadn't earned a penny back. The account was in the red. How could he still have money to invest outside?

Sean doesn't know how finance is done. Anyway, it's okay if you don't make money, and you don't have to pay taxes.

Sean has no psychological burden at all about not paying taxes. What the hell, he didn't make a penny from Sean's bank!

Why pay tax!

The reason why the name of Sean Bank was used for this investment is, in Shen Bi's words: Since you are so optimistic about these companies, of course you should use Sean Bank to control it. As a shareholder bank, let them replace the settlement bank with

Is Sean Bank okay?

Thinking about the future capital flows of these companies, Sean immediately agreed.

He now somewhat understands what a financial institution is!

What the bank earns is never just a tiny bit of handling fee. What the bank wants is a large amount of capital flow. As long as one dollar flows within the bank, the bank dares to spend it as ten dollars!

"Preliminary estimates require another 1.5 billion." Chernin glanced at Sean secretly and said softly.

"Farke, so many?" Sean was startled and jumped up from his chair.

"It's mainly about the broadcast contracts of the four major leagues." Chernin quickly stood up and explained: "The current negotiation result is that each company must sign every four years when signing."

"The current contracts for the broadcast of events in the four major leagues are signed every four years. The broadcast contracts for baseball and football are around 120 million per year. Ice hockey and basketball are a little lower, at 80 million."

"In addition, there are college events, football, baseball, and basketball. The broadcast prices of college events are not lower than those of professional leagues."

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

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

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

The NCAA, for example, earns 1.1 billion U.S. dollars every year. What is pure basketball?

…

"Every year we invest US$800 million in broadcast fees, and we also need to build new broadcast lines, program planning, staffing, etc., so."

"What do you mean, the 1.5 billion given to you is not enough?" Sean's mouth twitched.

You guys are fucking wasting your money, you are really wasting your money!

"It should, probably, maybe, it's almost enough." Chernin said without any confidence, "Theoretically, the sports station can bring in a lot of revenue every year."

Hehe, Sean rolled his eyes. I won't laugh at you if you say anything with confidence.

However, Chernin was really unsure.

A dedicated sports cable pay channel is the first of its kind in the American television market.

In the past, free public channels carried out live broadcasts across the United States, but there were very few live broadcasts. Professional paid sports channels were all small local channels.

However, Sean is somewhat confident. After all, he remembers that in 2016, the NBA signed a broadcast contract worth US$24 billion over nine years.

This rate of increase is explosive, which means that the sports station is indeed making money, making a lot of money, otherwise the broadcast contract would not have skyrocketed.

So, what can Sean say? He can only give money, but he has no money at all, damn it!

Thinking of the NBA's gradually exploding income, Sean thought about his desire to acquire the New York Knicks. But where would the money come from?

When thinking about acquiring an NBA team, Sean thought of Paul Allen, his new best friend. This guy was also an avid sports fan.

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

Damn Fuck!

I wonder if Shen Bi will kill him if he tells Shen Bi to mobilize one billion from Sean Bank?

For a while, (this chapter is not finished yet!)

Sean looked a little dazed, which made Chernin next to him feel a little unsure. What did he mean, and whether he would give me money or not!

After a long while, when Sean came back to his senses, he realized that Chernin was looking at him eagerly like a little hook. His eyes made Sean shudder.

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

"Okay, boss, then I'm fine." Chernin suddenly smiled reassuringly.

When Sean comes, the money comes!

After sending away Chernin who was asking for money, Sean sat there alone, squinting and playing with the thing next to him with one hand.

Thinking, thinking, Sean squeezed hard, and there was a sound of pain and pleasure next to him.

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

What kind of bullshit is Shen Bi? He's just an old man. I'll destroy him with a wave of his hand! What is money?

Money is a bastard! Spend it and earn it later!

I've got the Knicks, even Jesus can't stop me!

As soon as he thought of it, Sean called Dolan.

"You want to buy the Knicks?" Dolan looked at Sean in confusion. Unexpectedly, this was the first thing 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, "What do you think, sell it to me!"

"no."

.

"The corners of James Dolan's mouth were twitching, "You are so sudden."

"If anything happens suddenly, just tell me whether to sell it or not!" Sean looked impatient.

…

"I" James Dolan said with a confused look:

"First, I can't make the final decision on this matter. My father has the final say. Second, our family does not own all the ownership of the Knicks."

Sean's eyes suddenly brightened as he looked at Dolan, "How many shares are there out there?"

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

Sean's face suddenly turned dark. What the hell are you talking about when you take out those shares?

However, after Dolan's reminder, Sean remembered that it was 1997 when the Dolan family took over all ownership of the Knicks. After a series of equity transactions, they finally paid out US$30 million.

However, many media reports said that the Dolan family bought the Knicks for 30 million. In his previous life, Sean believed it. Later, he learned that the Buss family spent 67 million to buy the ownership of the Lakers in 1979.

Cheated!

"Then ask your dad how much he is willing to sell it for!" Sean nudged Dolan with his elbow.

"Do you have to buy it?"

“I have to buy it!”

"It's expensive!" Dolan tried.

"Rich!" Sean pouted, looking nonchalant.

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

When Dolan came to Deer Island to discuss the price with Sean, Sean was completely stunned.

"No, how much?" Sean felt that he heard wrongly, raised his hand to pick his ears, and asked again.

"800 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 were just traded this year were only worth 70 million!"

"Brother, you also said that that is Portland, the Portland cornfield, that is 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 the United States!”

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

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

"When the Buss family bought the Lakers ten years ago, it was only 70 million. Besides, they will never sell the Lakers. All their investments are in sports projects, and the Boston consortium will not allow the Celtics to be bought by others.

Let's go!" Dolan shrugged. In business negotiations, don't mention any relationships.

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

(This chapter is not finished yet!)

"That's too damn expensive. It's twelve times that of the Trail 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 16 million three years ago." Dolan shrugged and said with an envious look: "That guy made money. They picked a strong player. That kid Jordan played really well.

Now the value of the bull has at least tripled!"

"Don't yell at me. This is my father's decision. Besides, I never thought about selling the team." Dolan muttered in a low voice: "If you insist on buying it, I don't know what's good about it."

Sean sat there and rubbed his forehead.

He previously estimated that the Knicks were worth 300 million, but he never expected that.

…

800 million!

*** is an auspicious number.

Sean doubts that, excluding the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and Celtics, all other NBA teams combined are worth 800 million!

He had the idea to simply buy another team, such as the Bulls. Jordan was still a rookie, and he could definitely get 100 million from Jerry. However, there was no way Sean could live in that damn place in Chicago.

Or hit the Lakers?

Well, the Lakers probably won't be much cheaper. When the Buss family bought the Lakers, the Lakers were at a trough. They won five championships in nine years after the purchase, and their market value skyrocketed.

It is foreseeable that this is the financial age and finance controls the world, so Sean's main residence must be New York, the world's largest financial center.

Besides, Rockefeller is also based in New York, and he will definitely be in charge of Rockefeller in the future.

As for old man David

That’s just an old man working for me!! So, is it a loss to buy the Knicks for 800 million?

From an investment perspective, he will definitely lose 800 million. Whatever Sean does now, his future value will far exceed that of the Knicks, several times or more than ten times.

But if it's a loss, Sean frowned and thought about it for a long time, and it seemed like it wasn't a loss.

After all, after all, what he wants is not the money to invest, but what he invests in!

Land in Pudong is still very cheap, but can Sean make large-scale acquisitions?

Obviously not, the Eastern governments are not stupid

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

Going to the east to develop real estate on a large scale, even if 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. Big real estate companies have almost no foreign investment.

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

However, Sean can benefit from it through the Asian Investment Bank and the Chinese in Southeast Asia.

Many other hugely profitable investments were either made at the wrong time or simply not qualified for them.

What the investment market is never short of is funds, what is lacking is valuable projects, and banks are plentiful with funds.

After all, this is a place where ten thousand dollars can be spent as hundreds of thousands.

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

Of course, the premise is not to fail in your investment. If you fail, you will still be considered a loss.

After picking his ears, Sean stamped his foot cruelly, Damn it, I worked so hard to rob so much money, why the hell can't I spend some money on my hobby?

Spend some money, no matter what.

All the money that I have worked hard to grab over the years has been invested in my gang. Speaking of enjoyment, there is nothing except a deer island and a palace in the sky.

The more Sean thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved. He stood up suddenly, stared at Dolan with wide eyes, which made Dolan tremble. "What are you doing? It's none of my business. If you don't like it, go and beat him up."

My dad, it’s him who wants to quote the price, not me!”

Sean: "."

What a loving father and filial son, so filial.

"Tell me, your father, I agree to 800 million. I won't bargain with him, but I must settle the remaining messy equity. (This chapter is not over yet!)

…

I want a complete Knicks, and in addition, let him help me get Martin Davis from Gulf Western Industries, and I want to buy the ownership of Madison Square Garden, including the land!"

"I, Sean, will not use other people's arenas!" Sean said through gritted teeth. 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 was interested in the land of Madison Garden.

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

Sean Bank has entered the top 100 financial institutions in the United States, and it is already a certainty that it will go further, so building a global headquarters is necessary and a manifestation of strength, just like the boss's car.

I previously planned to acquire a piece of land through the Chinese gang in Chinatown, but it is still slowly being accumulated, very slowly.

There is nothing we can do about it. 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. Sean took a fancy to this.

Is it unprofitable to develop real estate in Manhattan, New York? Why do you have to move three times if it is really unprofitable?

Can others move it? I, Sean, can’t move it?

Besides, Rockefeller developed a lot of real estate in New York. Not to mention the famous Rockefeller Center, the investors behind the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which built the World Trade Center, were also the Rockefeller family.

Today, Madison Garden is in the hands of Gulf Western Industries, which at the same time, Martin Davis is still the parent company of Paramount.

Of course, Sean knew Martin Davis, and we had met him several times. However, it would take a lot of favors to buy the ownership of Madison from him.

Old Dolan made a lot of money from him, so of course he should be responsible for this matter.

The most difficult thing to repay is a debt of gratitude.

Dolan looked at Sean in shock, with a look of disbelief on his face, "No, you really agreed?"

"Are you crazy? 800 million, why not do something?" Dolan looked at Sean with a troubled face, "Have you really decided? I feel worthless for you!"

Sean rolled his eyes secretly, Dolan is such a friendly person, he is a true friend!

He is the kind of person who really goes out of his way to help his friends. He has no shortcomings except that he is not very smart.

"Yes, I decided, after all, I like it." Sean smiled and put his arm around Dolan's shoulders, and said nonchalantly: "When you make so much money, you can't just think about work, work, or fucking work every day.

Bar?"

"You have to enjoy life. Isn't working hard to make money just to make yourself happier?"

"I like basketball, but I can't play it, so I can buy it and let a group of NBA superstars play around me!"

"I'm just asking you, if the gorilla dares to stop me for a layup!" Sean said with an 'arrogant' look on his face!

Dolan shook his head, thought about it seriously and said: "Don't dare. There are a dozen big men with submachine guns watching from the sidelines. He must be afraid of death! Even if you miss a layup, he will give you a rebound if he grabs it.

You, then he hugs you and lets you give him a hard slap on the head, and then he falls to the ground with a roar and lets out the wail of a defeated dog."

Otherwise, can we still give Sean a fucking basketball dream?

Sean's face turned dark on the spot. You know it, you know it, it's so annoying when you say it!

After saying that, the two of them burst into laughter. It was funny to think about the scene with Sean, a small one, in front of the gorilla Ewing.

Dolan left and went back to find his father. He still agreed with Sean's words. As a person, the most important thing is to be happy.

If you like it, then do it, it doesn't matter how much you spend.

I don’t know if this guy will regret it when the Knicks’ market value reaches 5 billion in the future.

Of course, the cash now available can also be invested, and the Dolan family's situation is different from Sean's.

To put it bluntly, the Dolan family has only been inherited for a long time, with limited assets and limited cash flow. Rockefeller or Sean would feel that large sums of money have nowhere to go, but they would not.

Sean and the others look down on the investment project and separate (this chapter is not finished yet!)

The assets are already a good investment project for a small family like Dolan and his family with only more than one billion assets.

For example, Sean sold off most of his correctional education companies and those construction-related companies.

When Charles Dolan heard his son say that Sean actually agreed, he was a little dumbfounded. No, you really bought it!

With 800 million, he felt that he had opened his mouth too much, but now it seems that he still has less.

Tangled!

Sean lay on the sofa and made a very comfortable sound. For some reason, the money was gone again, but he felt relaxed.
