Hollywood starts with a broker

“The Rockets won't move, of course. It will always belong to Houston;”

“Not only that, but I also want to help the Rockets build a new multi-functional stadium. The Compaq Center's facilities are outdated, and the number of seats is insufficient. It's difficult to shoulder the Rockets' rise!”

Aaron, facing Charlie Thomas, appeared confident.

Charlie Thomas was stunned for a moment, “You want to build a new stadium?”

“I'm afraid the Houston city government will have difficulty providing this budget!”

Aaron smiled, “It would probably take several years to lobby the city government to spend money. I don't have that much time;”

“What I mean is, I will fund the construction of a multi-functional indoor stadium for the Rockets in Houston!”

“You yourself?” Charlie Thomas was immediately surprised. The price of building a new indoor stadium is more expensive than the team.

“Yes,” Aaron nodded, “Selling the Houston Rockets to me is the best option;”

“That Wall Street stockbroker Leslie Alexander, I guess he can barely scrape together enough money to buy the Rockets;”

“I'm different. I can do an immediate cash transaction!”

There was no way around it. Aaron Anderson's advantages were too obvious. Not only did he have money, but his identity and status were also extraordinary.

As a Hollywood tycoon, Aaron Anderson is Hollywood's face. His joining the NBA is what league president David Stern and other club owners want to see.

Aaron Anderson will definitely have a positive promotional effect on the NBA, and can better strengthen the connection between the NBA and Hollywood.

At night, Aaron hugged Christiana Yeri in the hotel bathtub, “Let's go directly to New York. Charlie Thomas shouldn't reject my offer.”

85 million US dollars in cash, plus Aaron agreed to build a new dedicated stadium, how could he refuse such conditions?

“Okay, but then I have to return to Los Angeles to film 'Pulp Fiction'!”

Christiana Yeri lay on Aaron's chest, her face flushed, incomparably seductive.

“You can go back to Los Angeles at any time,” Aaron smiled and rubbed Christiana Yeri's body…

A week later, Aaron signed an agreement with Charlie Thomas at the NBA headquarters in Manhattan to acquire the Houston Rockets;

For a total of 85 million US dollars to acquire the NBA Rockets Club!

As for Aaron's competitor, Leslie Alexander, he simply didn't have enough strength.

New York, Long Island, East Hampton.

Aaron received the Rockets' current general manager Ray Patterson and head coach Rudy Tomjanovich in his luxurious villa!

“We cannot erase the contributions Mr. Thomas has made to the Rockets, but I will also inherit Mr. Thomas's wishes and lead the Rockets to the top of the NBA;”

“We have superstar Hakeem Olajuwon, who is strong and fully capable of winning the championship, so my goal is very clear, which is the championship;”

“Moreover, I also have the ability to support you in winning the championship!”

Ray Patterson and head coach Rudy Tomjanovich certainly knew Aaron Anderson. After all, Charlie Thomas had talked about the other party's situation before the acquisition.

“Championship, in fact, the Rockets do have the strength, maybe it's just some bad luck,” Ray Patterson certainly wanted a championship too.

Aaron smiled, “Ray, about the construction of a new stadium, I think you also know that lobbying the Houston Sports Authority is too much of a waste of time for me;”

“So, I plan to fund the construction of a new multi-functional stadium in Houston myself. You go and discuss with the Houston city government. We need a place with convenient transportation and enough parking lots to build a new stadium!”

The Toyota Center in his previous life was not in a good location and there was no subway access, because it was built by the Houston city government, mainly for urban development;

Now it's different. Aaron is building it himself, and he doesn't need the city government's funds, so he doesn't have to help Houston's urban development?

As soon as Aaron finished speaking, not only was Rudy Tomjanovich surprised, but even Ray Patterson was stunned, “Aaron, is this true?”

As the general manager, he knows too well the promotional effect of a dedicated stadium on the club, but building a new stadium is too expensive, and it is usually invested by the city government;

Now the new boss Aaron Anderson is directly spending huge sums of money to build it!

“Of course it's true. I want to make the new stadium a landmark and tourist attraction in Houston;”

“Let the Houston Rockets become the representative team of Houston, surpassing the Houston Oilers of the NFL (American football) league and the Houston Astros of the MLB (baseball) league!”

Aaron knew very well that in the United States, the NFL league and the MLB league dominated the top two sports markets;

The NBA's ratings are only slightly higher than the NHL (ice hockey) league.

Although Ray Patterson is old, he has worked for the Rockets for many years and also has great ambitions!

“If it really works, I think the Houston city government will definitely support us. A new multi-functional stadium will have a strong promoting effect on the local economy;”

“The Rockets will definitely be able to win the championship trophy in the future.”

Ray Patterson certainly supports Aaron Anderson's idea.

The NBA will hold its annual draft in Auburn Hills, Michigan at the end of this month, but it seems that the Rockets have already traded their first-round pick;

For the current Rockets lineup, Aaron also asked the general manager Ray Patterson and Rudy Tomjanovich to strengthen it, according to the standards of the championship…

One mistake, one first, one inside, one appearance, one look!

At the same time, the movie "Interview with the Vampire", co-produced by Dawn Pictures and Geffen Pictures, held a launch conference in New York;

The crew will first go to Louisiana for filming, followed by London, Paris and other places.

Manhattan, the Upper East Side, the Mark Hotel.

Aaron, lying on the bed, breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his hand stroking Monica Bellucci's hair!

After a while, Monica Bellucci climbed onto Aaron's chest and licked her lips, “The investment in 'Interview with the Vampire' is really big.”

Previously, the production cost of "Bram Stoker's Dracula", in which Monica Bellucci starred, was 40 million US dollars;

Now, also a vampire theme, the filming budget for "Interview with the Vampire" is 60 million US dollars!

Aaron smiled, “It's not that easy to get Tom Cruise to star in a work;”

“By the way, your scenes should be in Europe, right?”

Monica Bellucci nodded, “Yes, mainly the Paris studio.”

In "Interview with the Vampire", Monica Bellucci is just a supporting actress, and her scenes are not many. The child star Kirsten Dunst has more scenes.

“Wait for 'Philadelphia' to be released. You need fame in Hollywood,” Aaron said, stroking the other party's 36D,

“With fame, there will be scripts…”
