Lisco's American Life
783. Buy a team
After seeing off Jayne and the other four, Lisko stood at the airport, looking at the plane going away, feeling a little reluctant to leave.
Although they didn't get together with Jayne for a long time, these people undoubtedly entered Lisko's heart and became one of the more important friends in his life. The relationship between people is divided into close and distant.
Before getting on the plane, Lisko also gave Jayne the gift he had prepared when he got up early in the morning. The other person was very surprised and told him that he would open it properly when he got home.
"Let's go,"
Separation is for a better reunion next time. Lisko has always believed in this sentence. After completely losing sight of the plane, Lisko ordered Charles on the side, put on his sunglasses at the same time, and got in.
The back of the car.
He has another important itinerary next, and he has to get to the corresponding place at the appointed time.
Li Ke's temper has been very bad recently, and he smashed his TV set. As a result, Zhang Li couldn't even watch his favorite TV series. Fortunately, Payne took out a TV series from the storage warehouse in time.
A new TV was installed.
The main reason is also caused by watching football games. Lisko is a fan of the Rockets. The main reason is because of the existence of Yao Ming. The number one basketball player in China is the idol of many Chinese people. Lisko was naturally one of them in his previous life.
.
After time travel, he picked up this habit and even went to watch the idol's game live. Fortunately, he got an autograph from the other player, and his fluent Chinese also left a deep impression on the star.
.
After returning to Denver, he also fell in love with the Nuggets, a local team, and often purchased a complete set of tickets. Although he did not often go to watch live, he still wanted to use this method to express his support for his favorite team.
.
But a few days ago, when he saw the news on the sports channel, he learned that the team had transferred the current core players Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Sheldon Williams, Anthony Carter and
Renaldo Balkman was traded to the Knicks. In his opinion, this was a ghost deal. Naturally, it was a heated battle. He lost his temper once and picked up a stool and smashed the TV.
After learning the whole story, Zhang Li was a little bit dumbfounded. She had never seen Liske in such an emotional state before, but it also made her feel that her husband was more three-dimensional and no longer the same as before.
It is floating in the clouds, as if like a person outside the world, also has its own joys, sorrows and joys.
After Lisko regained his senses, an idea that had been suppressed before suddenly emerged, which was to buy the Denver Nuggets, build a team according to his own ideas, and play a real-life basketball manager.
He had this urge to buy his own team before, and the Nuggets were his best target, but the team at that time also had the Nuggets' big star. Our answer is Allen Allen.
Ferson, so Stan Kroenke, the boss at the time, opened his mouth and asked Chandler, the manager of the investment company in charge of the acquisition at the time, to think about it and then suggested to Lisko to give up.
Although Lisko is rich, it does not mean that he is willing to be taken advantage of. The other party's offer at the time was US$2 billion. This is completely nonsense. Even in 2021, the Nuggets' market value will only be US$1.6 billion.
Ranking 19th among thirty teams is not very outstanding.
This time the acquisition of Yuan also gave up the idea in this atmosphere, but it is different now. After these years of development, the Nuggets' record has no upward trend at all, and has never broken through the first round of the playoffs. This seems to be
The curse of this team.
Although there has been improvement in the past two years, and they have successfully reached the Western Conference Finals, and the overall record is ranked second in the Western Conference, but after last season's coach George Karl was diagnosed with cancer, this season was unfortunately canceled again.
Since the establishment of the team, the Nuggets have not won the Finals trophy once, which also makes the team owner feel a little irritated. Compared with his other team Arsenal in the Premier League, the Nuggets have brought
It seems that interests can no longer keep up with his pace.
And because he is a miser and never likes to invest money in the team, the Nuggets' record has always been mediocre. Many fans have criticized him, which has also had a great impact on his other investment industries.
For now, selling the Nuggets is the best solution. He can get a large sum of money to invest in a more promising football team. Compared to basketball, football in the United States seems to have more benefits.
These were all the information Lisko obtained through inquiries from some friends and seniors. He immediately realized that his opportunity had come, and immediately contacted Chandler to restart the acquisition of the Nuggets.
After several days of negotiations, the current team owner Kroenke has made some moves. He originally spent 400 million US dollars to purchase the Nuggets. With the addition of the original Pepsi Center Arena, the price has now reached 1.6 billion.
US dollars, and the acquisition also came with a premium. Chandler's offer for the team was US$7.72 billion, and it was paid immediately, which gave Kroenke a great temptation.
Calculating, his investment has quadrupled, and there is no risk. It is precisely because he used the money to buy the team that he was not bankrupted by the impact of the financial crisis. Calculating, it is already a profit.
Turned over.
However, there is still disagreement about one thing, and that is the Pepsi Center Stadium where the team is located. In Chandler's quotation, he hopes to buy this stadium together, but as a real estate developer, Kroenke prefers
Being able to retain ownership of the gymnasium, the benefits brought by this kind of public facility cannot be underestimated.
After contacting Lisko, he immediately made up his mind to abandon the stadium and purchase the team directly. After the purchase was successful, he discussed with the city government to rebuild a home center dedicated to the Nuggets instead of the current one.
Sharing a venue with a rugby team,
For the current Lisko, the value of money is no longer high. What is most needed is to convert this wealth into more valuable and stable real estate. The sports center is a great idea. It can not only bring benefits to the congressmen who invest in it.
Achievements can also provide a visible cover for the family's wealth.
More importantly, public facilities are really profitable. No matter who wants to rent this venue, it will be a huge amount of income. According to the calculation of the investment company, it will take about nine years to recover the cost, which is already more than what many investment projects bring.
The income has become more abundant.
