Chapter 461 Interests only

ps: Today's fourth update! Thanks to the first leader of this book, jackiezxw, for two of which are updated for the leader!

The U.S. Open has a long history and can be traced back to the 19th century. Although its influence is not as good as the most traditional Wimbledon Open, it has a higher status than the French and Australian Opens. The events are held every year and are usually held in late August.

This is a highly commercialized country, and professional tennis is no less commercial than professional football and professional boxing. Both men and women singles champions at the US Open can receive more than one million US dollars in prize money, with the highest prize money in the four Grand Slam events.

"As early as 1989, the US Open involved more than $100 million in money."

The two contestants on the green hard ground were still warming up. Charlize Theron, who was sitting in the box, whispered to Ryan about some of the US Open situations, "This session is said to have received support from many large groups, and both the bonus and the TV broadcast fee have hit new highs."

"Oh, Charlie, you know so much."

After looking at the camera that was swept over from time to time, Ryan simply took off his sunglasses. Anyway, he was harassed by reporters before coming in. "It seems that you not only like football, but also tennis?"

"Actually, I still like basketball." Charlize asked with a generous hat off, "Have you ever seen me on a sports show?"

"I'm very busy." Ryan made a gesture you understand, "I heard someone say you have become a supporter of the Los Angeles Lakers recently?"

"Don't you think going to a court game is the best way to relieve stress?"

The competition was about to begin. She clapped her palms as the audience clapped her hands and continued, "I don't want to let my life besides work."

"The competition is about to begin."

Ryan raised his chin to the field, and Charlize shrugged and closed his mouth temporarily.

This is not only the men's singles final, but also the last game of this US Open. The confronters are the famous king Sampras and the Tatar Marat Safen...

Art Ashe Stadium can be regarded as Sampras' home court, and his supporters obviously occupy the majority, but contrary to the applause of supporters, Sampras is obviously old and cannot take any advantage in front of Safin, who is stronger, younger and tall. It took nearly an hour to lose four to six after the first set.

"Peter is in danger."

Old Man Stan Li, who was sitting on the other side of Ryan, finally broke his silence and shook his head and said. "The two sets in the semi-finals consumed too much of his physical strength. Perhaps today's final will be unpopular."

"According to Stan's statement, the US Open is about to give birth to a new champion."

Who will become the champion? Ryan didn't care. Instead, he asked about his work, "Stan, how was the audition for Spider-Man?"

"Although the final result has not come out yet." Stan Lee's eyes were taken back from the venue where the game was restored. "If there were no accidents, the male lead would be Toby Maguire you recommended. But the female lead...well, we prefer Kelsten Dunst, who is also a standard New York girl."

In fact, Paris Hilton, who once clamored to be the heroine, did not participate in the audition. "Charlie's Angels 2" has entered the preparation stage, and a considerable part of the shooting time will coincide with "Spider-Man".

It is also a good choice for Mary Jane, who took back this role in his previous life.

The game continues, and the two players showed the audience the top level of today's tennis. Summit with a speed of more than 120 miles per hour frequently appears. Once it enters a tug-of-war, Sampras, who is at a disadvantage, will almost be suppressed at a disadvantage.

"Ryan, are you interested in entering the sports world?"

When Ryan was stunned for a moment when he heard Stan Lee's words, "What?"

"Acquiring a team." Stan Lee looked at the main sponsor's seat, "To put it bluntly, the various event leagues in North America are just toys for big groups and the rich."

Ryan doesn't know much about the North American league. The one who knows the most is the Super Bowl, which has the most influence. However, I have vaguely heard that whether it is NFL or NBA, there are shadows of consortiums or wealthy people behind the scenes of each team.

Although some people make money by running clubs, such as the Glazer family with several different teams, most of them are like Stan Lee said.

The most typical one is Larry Ellison. This madman not only sponsored the Americas Cup, but later bought the fleet to participate in the competition...

"Stan, can you help me contact the board of directors and shareholders of the New York Yankees?" Ryan smiled and said to Stan Lee in a joking tone, "I'm very interested in buying the symbol of New York."

"You really can cause trouble for me." Stan Lee's eyes fell back on the green court. "If you are interested, choose another target."

"You can acquire the Los Angeles Lakers." Charlize Theron suddenly spoke, "This team is in Los Angeles, and it's still close to us..."

"Dear, Stan and I were just kidding."

Seeing Charlize's slightly disappointed expression, Ryan patted her arm for fear and comforted her, "After this time, we can go to Europe to buy a football team."

Speaking of this, Ryan suddenly had an idea. After waved his hand to Charlize next to him, he ignored the game in the field and fell into thinking.

As long as the stock market situation improves, Michael Eisner will definitely drag the entire Disney to attack him. Even if he does a secret counterattack measure enough, he cannot guarantee that he will completely avoid Disney's sight. If he can launch a vigorous acquisition on the outside, it will be a hot topic around the world, and it will definitely play a role in covering up.

The feasibility of building a plank road openly to cover Chencang has been proven countless times on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

The acquisition of a football club with a long history, brilliant results and great influence around the world will definitely cause explosive media speculation and attract a lot of attention.

However, there are not many such clubs all over the world.

It seems that Real Madrid is a good choice, but it is a membership club...

Shaking his head, Ryan dissipated the random thoughts in his head. After all, it will take a long time for the stock market to stabilize again. Disney will not be able to put too much energy into it in a short period of time and put it on Pixar Studio.

"You're not really thinking about buying the Los Angeles Lakers, are you?"

Perhaps seeing Ryan thinking, Charlize Theron had to speak, "I'm just a joke."

"Let's watch the game." Ryan reminded her.

The second set has reached the end of the set. Because of the continuous breaks, Sampras's possibility of recovering is infinitely smaller, and his physical strength has seriously affected the status of the tennis king.

In front of this box is Sampras's movie star wife, Bridget Wilson, obviously also saw that her husband was in poor condition today and looked a little lonely on his face.

Seeing this little star who had starred in "I Know What You Do Last Summer" in his previous life, Ryan suddenly remembered the biggest gossip in the tennis world in his previous life. This star, who was quite famous, was like some innocent girls when he debuted, and believed that the San Fernando Valley was the back door to Hollywood, and plunged in for money and future.

As a result, when she married Sampras, the original producer immediately made some of the films she filmed into videotapes and sold them to the United States, and even put out the slogan "Enjoy the pleasure of Sampras", which almost broke down the relationship between the star couple...

It seems that it will happen in the next few years? Ryan just regarded it as a gossip in his previous life, and he had a vague impression.

But Sampras showed enough tolerance. No matter what happened to the two in the middle, he finally chose to forgive Brigitte Wilson.

After losing three to six in the second set, Sampras's physical strength declined even more severely in the third set. If it weren't for his rich experience and excellent skills, he might have been given a donut by Safin in this set, but he still had the fate of losing three to six in the end.

While the Tatar on the spot raised his hands to celebrate, Ryan said something to Charlize, left the stands and walked into the VIP locker room.

Although the award presenter is more like a soy sauce, this kind of formal occasion is not suitable for his current sportswear. After returning, he quickly changed into formal clothes.

At every US Open, the organizer will invite heavyweight award presenters. Although he has not yet figured out why he was invited, Ryan still maintained the necessary etiquette. After greeting the president of the American Tennis Association and the host from CBS, he followed the two and walked into the Art Ashe Stadium.

As imagined, Safin is the focus of this occasion, and others will consciously leave enough time for this championship.

The current head of the American Tennis Association simply announced the total number of spectators and the prize amount of the first and second place, and gave up the center point.

After Sampras said almost his gratitude, Ryan delivered the runner-up prize plate to his hands and whispered, "Peter, you are our pride in tennis. Keep working hard, come on!"

"Thanks!"

The treatment of the champion is different. When Ryan picked up the trophy, the old sports supporter of CBS sent the microphone in front of him.

“We have witnessed a new young champion.”

It's perfect for saying clichés in this kind of occasion. "I wish you will be more successful in the future and be as great as Sampras."

After giving away the championship trophy, Ryan calculated to complete his task. Although the organizer had a cocktail party after the game, he did not plan to attend.

Come here to watch the US Open finals and serve as award presenters just for interest.

In fact, Ryan has always had a good motor nerve, especially the sports that he often participates in high-class communication, such as tennis, horse racing and golf. His level in the amateur level is reasonable. (To be continued...)
