Chapter six hundred and eighty turning face ruthless
"Paipa--"
The applause in the conference room was quite enthusiastic, and the News Corp negotiator with a smile on his face handed Andy the signed contract, "Mr. Smith, the Dodgers are yours."
Andy raised his chin slightly, took the contract with a calm expression, took the cash check envelope from behind that Tory Black sent to him, and handed it to the other party, "The 500 million US dollars belongs to your News Group, this is a good deal."
"It's worth the price, right? Then, we're happy to work together!"
Andy nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Happy cooperation! But..."
When everyone who thought that the transaction was about to end the transaction was about to applaud and celebrate again, Andy's words changed and everyone was almost suffocated to death. The young billionaire stretched out a finger and stood in the air. "Then there is one thing left. I hope you can tell Fox TV that the broadcasting rights are the most precious asset of the Dodgers. The broadcasting agreement signed before needs to be renegotiated. Okay, thank you all..."
The people from News Corporation were all very happy, but after hearing Andy's words, their faces changed drastically, and the negotiators were even more sank and smiled bitterly. No wonder the other party deliberately ignored this obviously unfair agreement during the negotiations, and it turned out that they were waiting here.
It's really ruthless!
Looking at Andy Smith, who ignored them and walked down on the boss' chair in all the complicated gazes in the conference room, everyone sighed the same sigh.
The transaction was pleasant and we had a warm greeting. The transaction was completed the next moment, and it turned around like a book. No wonder it was able to rise like a rocket in such a short time, and it was indeed as cruel and decisive as the outside world commented.
The atmosphere in the conference room was very depressing. Even after the News Group left, everyone present was so arrogant that they dared not breathe. They all secretly looked at the young boss who was sitting a little lazy.
"Sit all, the irrelevant and annoying people have left. Everyone present is their own people, so everyone can do whatever they want."
When everyone heard the young boss's clear voice and the sunny smile on his face, the tense string in his heart also relaxed. However, no one in the team's management felt that the young boss with a handsome appearance and a gentle smile was easy to deal with, but instead, an invisible pressure enveloped everyone.
"Granada, you have experience in managing a baseball team. You can serve as the general manager of the Dodgers. Everyone, I will invest 100 million US dollars to repair the stadium and build supporting facilities around the stadium.
My goal is to build a business district around the stadium, with more than 56,000 seats. Everyone should know how much traffic is on the game day, and the economic benefits it can generate will be very considerable.
The United States is currently suffering from the bursting of the real estate bubble and the subprime mortgage crisis. The economic situation is very bleak. The global economy has been affected by the end time. Enterprises will lay off employees in large quantities and the unemployed population will increase. The business districts around our stadium will drive the development of the surrounding economy to a certain extent, create huge business opportunities, negotiate with the Los Angeles Municipal Government, and obtain preferential policies and surrounding land.
Granada, you are responsible for this matter. The team's performance is the top priority. The team's funds are enough for you to use to operate and introduce excellent players. Find an excellent head coach, so don't let me down!"
"Boss, we are currently chasing the famous coach of the New York Yankees, Joe Torrey. His contract with the Yankees has expired. Because of our joining, he is waiting for a price. Although the annual salary given by the Yankees has increased to 4 million, he still seems not very satisfied. We offer an annual salary of 4.2 million, which makes the other party sway..."
When Andy saw that he was the operation director of the former management, the other party seemed to be no one else's trembling, but instead reported directly with a calm expression. He did not feel at a loss because he changed a new boss.
"15 million in 3 years! He will come. There is no doubt that Joe Torrey's ability is. To be honest, I have been a Yankees fan since I was a child, but since I am the boss of the Dodgers now, the Yankees are naturally my enemy. You must have courage to dig the enemy's corners!"
When they heard the words of the new boss, everyone couldn't help but smile and the atmosphere was relaxed. They all saw media reports in the newspapers and knew that their new boss was a hardcore Yankees fan. He often attended Yankees' championship celebration party since he was a child. He was also familiar with the Yankees' owner George Stanbrina. It was also an in-depth report made by the media before that Andy had speculated that Andy might acquire the New York Yankees.
"California is an immigration continent, and the number and consumption capacity of Asians cannot be ignored. Our Dodgers are famous. Just like Real Madrid and Barcelona in the football world, it is a wealthy family that many baseball players yearn for. Baseball and Football Country also have good leagues. Go find two or three to bring Asians from Los Angeles into the stadium, and there are Chinese. A few players in the Wanwan Province of the Celestial Dynasty are in the Major League? Find a few good seedlings."
Andy naturally knew to strive for the Asian market. You should know that Asians are much richer than ordinary Americans, especially Asian immigrants in California. They can pull this group of people into the court, and the attendance rate of the 56,000-seat stadium can be guaranteed.
"Boss, we have a wild wilder from the small league. On September 1, Hu Jinlong officially reported to the team."
"Well, you can first look at your abilities, do some publicity, arrange a few media interviews, and remember that it is a winding waste of the Celestial Empire! Don't make any trouble for me, do you understand? Our Dodgers have always had a major problem. The starter pitcher cannot provide high-quality starters, and the backer pitcher often collapses and cannot defend the city. So, if you solve this problem, I want a championship!"
The meeting was over. Everyone was in different moods and had their own thoughts. But in general, the new boss was very awesome. At least he knew baseball and was not short of money. Thinking about the old man McCourt before, he was not only stingy, but also misappropriated the team's funds. It was really incomparable.
Perhaps the Dodgers are really about to rise, and the Market Development Department is the happiest department. The business district plan around the stadium has been launched, and the plan book pressed in the filing cabinet was also turned out as soon as possible. The smile on the supervisor Jerry's face did not dissipate after it came out of the conference room. He rushed out of the office with the plan and headed straight to the general manager's office.
"I'll leave the Dodgers to you. The team's performance and surrounding business districts are the focus of your next work. I don't want to be suppressed by the Yankees all the time. I have to be willing to spend money on publicity, and to explore brand value, I have to learn about the Yankees. The market value difference is too huge.
To set up a market development department, I will ask the film company to come up with a script and make a movie with the Dodgers as the background to expand its popularity in the world.
This time the stadium is renovated, and the best viewing area in the stadium is used as a designated area, and the star-specific seat is invited to be the tee guests and performing guests, so that the game will be star-studded! Didn’t David Beckham come to Los Angeles? He isn’t he eager to integrate into mainstream American society and let his wife Victoria be the first tee in the new season. She will not miss this opportunity."
Andy stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the vast stadium not far away, talking to himself, Granada, sitting behind him, listening carefully, and the pen in his hand made detailed records, and was surprised by the ideas given by the boss from time to time.
"Okay, that's all. Make a briefing. Every day I have to understand the team's situation. Your job is very heavy, and the sports investment company is busy with things, and the Dodgers also have to take into account both. Your abilities have been fully proved after this period of time. I believe this will not hurt you."
Andy turned around and walked to Granada, reached out and patted his shoulder and said.
"Thank you for your trust. In the economic downturn, you can get two salary. I think it's worth it even if you're a little tired..."
"Haha, if I can win the championship this season, I will give you bonuses. I have never been a stingy boss, as long as it reflects the value!" Andy couldn't help laughing heartily when he heard Granada's self-taught joke.
After leaving the Los Angeles Dodgers' stadium and sitting in the car, Andy's expression became more calm and calm. What he had to do was to turn the money he had circled from the financial market and the numbers displayed on the computer into physical assets, and the plan to turn the numbers displayed on the computer into physical assets in an orderly and smooth manner.
High-quality physical assets make him more at ease and calm. The game of the financial market is ultimately a castle in the air and a sand castle under the waves, which is too insecure. He has mastered the general trend of the financial market in the future, rather than the specific details. If one step is wrong, the losses will be heavy. It is still his favorite that can be seen and touched!
