Chapter 650: Willing to be a Bridge

Of course not good!

Andy complained in his heart, but he did not show any unnecessary expression on his face, but said with a smile: "Mr. Stich, of course there is no problem with cooperation. I am willing to cooperate with you and run the Giants well. After all, this is an old NFL team. If I take over the team from the Mara family, I will make the lineup adjustments next. My goal is the world champion, the Super Bowl!"

Listening to Andy's words, Preston nodded in understanding. He knew that the young man with a smile in front of him was waiting for him to ask, so he had to ask: "So, how much does it cost?"

Andy chuckled and said, "You don't need too much in the first year. You and I each spend 100 million US dollars to transfer players. It won't take long to build the Giants into a championship team."

Preston pulled the corner of his mouth, shook his head and laughed, and said helplessly: "You are using money to squeeze me away. Okay, young man, you have won, let your team contact me. The agreed price is, the 49% share of the 100 million US dollars will belong to you!"

"Thank you!" Andy knew that his move would definitely understand what happened. He used money to smash the team. If the opponent was not short of money like him and dared to play Jinyuan football like this, this move would naturally be useless, but now it seems that he is not the one who is short of money.

After chatting for a few more words, Ivana appeared next to Andy at the right time. Andy hugged her waist and shuttled through the guests. For such a social occasion, Ivana was simply like a fish in water, and her charm was amazed by the guests.

"In addition to the Rockets, do you also want to buy the New York Giants?" Warren Buffett and his little wife were chatting in a small circle with William III, the head of the Hurst family, and Amanda. After seeing Andy walking over with Ivana in his arms, he asked.

"Yes, I like sports. Although I don't play well in basketball or rugby, I think having a team will be a good choice and a good investment project." Andy chose to avoid Amanda's sharp arrow light, and answered directly about Buffett's inquiry.

The few people next to him could only look envious of Andy's big spending. The Rockets and the Giants need at least $5.6 billion. Oh my God, it's such an enviable young man!

At this moment, Ivana was also very proud and inadvertently met Amanda's eyes. If it were modified, you could see the two women's eyes flashing with electric sparks.

"I was surprised by the good idea. Your financial management philosophy tends to be conservative. I thought you would continue to invest in the financial market." Although William III Hurst knew that his niece was a little entangled with Andy, their elders naturally would not get involved in the affairs of the younger generations. However, the excellence of Andy is indeed rare in comparison with that of Andy. When he thought of something, he said to Andy with a smile: "If you want to raise funds for your Free City Technology Company, remember to call me!"

His words instantly attracted the attention of a group of people. They immediately thought that in addition to setting up two funds and sharing some profits, Andy's company has been eating alone. Those who have followed Andy in Mockingbird Games know that he cannot raise funds. The company is now a money printing machine and does not need to expand at all. The profits it earns every day can make this game company a unicorn company in the industry.

Whatsapp is different. With the hot sale of Apple smartphones that everyone was detested at the time, everyone has seen the potential of the smartphone market. As Apple phones are accepted by more and more users and are popular with the software Wattsp became popular, Andy's Free City Technology Company has also become a technology company with huge potential in the eyes of many investors and investment companies.

As long as the user grows, its value will double, double, and double again. It will reach a value of 10 billion US dollars in an instant. This is a typical rise model for technology companies like the IT industry.

To develop a company like whatsapp, it requires a large amount of money to burn. Andy can choose to play by himself, but it will eventually be taken out. Cooperation and sharing of benefits, and equal sharing of honor are generally the development model of American companies. Of course, eating alone is also possible, but you must also prepare to solve everything yourself. Looking at the miserable current situation of American Online, you can understand that eating alone is definitely not a good thing in the United States.

"Yes, it's just that its value is not enough. Now it's still a baby, users need explosive growth, and profit solutions need to come up with solutions. Doing these two points is the best time to raise funds!" said Andy, smiling confidently. "It has this potential, and it is not just a tool for sending free text messages to contact. It is now just the initial version, and there are many powerful functions that have not been added. It will be an indispensable application software for every mobile phone, and no one can do without it!"

"Andy, you have a genius brain. You can make a lot of money every time you come up with points, which is admirable." An investment company billionaire said with envious eyes.

This sentence has been recognized by everyone around you. When whatsapp passes through the difficult period at the beginning, as the number of users continues to increase, Wattsp's value will go further, but it will attract more investors to gather in it.

Ivana held Andy's arm and kept her elegant posture. After watching the time, she leaned into Andy's ear and whispered: "Dear, the time is almost over, and the dinner can begin."

Andy nodded, smiled and placed the wine glass on the nearby waiter's tray, nodded to the people around him, and showed off, calmly and generously invited all the guests to the table.

As everyone found their place one by one, the ready waiter began to shuttle between the guests and pour wine. The dishes for dinner tonight were carefully prepared by Ivana, reaching 31 dishes, including many high-end classic ingredients. The chief chef of Four Seasons Hotel also prepared for a long time. While emphasizing the appearance of the dishes, he hoped to bring out the ingredients and let all guests have a pleasant food trip.

The dinner officially began. The first meal was halibut, scallops with seaweed, yellow cream and caviar. While the guests were enjoying the delicious food, the orchestra began to play melodious and soothing music on the small stage.

Andy stood up from the main seat on the left with a charming smile on his face, nodded left and right, "Dear Mr. Paulson and Mr. Bernanke, guests, ladies and gentlemen, tonight, I am very honored to be with you all here. First of all, I would like to thank my girlfriend Ivana for preparing for this dinner for a long time, almost from the style of the tableware and the selection of every ingredients, thank you... Of course, she is still an unparalleled beauty!"

After the words came to an end, Ivana listened to the warm applause of the guests, raised her head and waves of light flowing in her eyes, looking at her boyfriend with joy and infatuation, with a charming smile on her face.

"It is an incredible honor to be together with you. We would like to thank Mr. Paulson and Mr. Bernanke, as well as the staff of the Fed and Treasury for their outstanding work day after day, to save the subprime mortgage crisis caused by the US real estate bubble..."

"Haha..." Everyone present patted their hands and chuckled.

"... Everyone here, dear leaders, I suggest toast to our rare gathering and dialogue tonight, for ourselves, for Wall Street, and for the prosperity of America, thank you!"

The applause was mixed with cheerful laughter. Even Bernanke, Paulson and the Morgan Stanley CEO that he had just been teased, they kept shaking their heads and laughing. They were relaxed, calm, confident, humorous and witty to Andy, a young man, diluted the shadow of the subprime mortgage crisis in the hearts of some people. After all, the subprime mortgage crisis has caused little harm to all the billionaires here, and it is more of the impact of their affiliated companies, Wall Street, and economic environment.

This is also why after the subprime mortgage crisis, Wall Street's wealthy people still ran and danced, and their luxurious life continued, which caused a violent backlash from the people and the incident of occupying Wall Street occurred.

The main purpose of Andy's holding of this dinner was to give these Wall Street executives, billionaires who hold funds, Treasury Secretary Paulson, and Fed Chairman Bernanke, an opportunity to contact and discuss.

You should know that Paulson and current CEO John Sain, both came from Goldman Sachs. Because of the principle of avoidance, the attention they received in private meeting was too great. The arguments of conspiracy theories would make them feel headaches.

At Goldman Sachs' annual meeting in Russia, Paulson had to sneak away with the opportunity to visit Russia and meet with Goldman Sachs senior executives to discuss the subprime mortgage crisis. The problem was that he did not escape the eyes of the reporters and was sprayed with blood.

Andy looked at the guests while tasting the food and nodding and appreciating the taste of the food. While whispering to the left and right people who were passing by specially arranged seats, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and turned his head to look at Ivana, who had been smiling like crescent moons, and picked up the wine glass and clinked his glass with his girlfriend with a happy and gentle smile.

The 31 dishes at the dinner made the guests feel extremely satisfied, and lasted for about two hours. When gentlemen and ladies left the table with a satisfied look, returned to the banquet hall, and continued to gather together in groups of three or five to chat with the sweet wine after the meal, Andy did not surround Paulson and Bernanke with the group of scrambled eOs on Wall Street. He was not interested in this kind of excitement, but Andy had prepared a rest area for the second-floor swimming pool for them to have a secret meeting.

He is now sitting in a corner with David Dunn, a football man invited from the UK, while tasting wine while discussing the issues of Premier League clubs.
