American Fortune Life
Chapter 666: I want the champion
The lawyer handed the document to Andy, and the curvature of the corner of Andy's mouth became more pronounced. He picked up the pen and began to sign a copy of the document, which was placed in front of him as delicious and delicious after the Western food. After changing a copy, it was finally finished.
"Congratulations Andy! It belongs to you!" Alexander stood up, looked at the tall young man in front of him, and finally reached out his hand with a husky voice.
Andy smiled and shook him, raised his hand and stretched his back. The little assistant's fair and pretty face with excited ruddy, put a check in the hands of the devil, and Andy narrowed his eyes with a smile. Pass him the check. "It belongs to you too!"
"Isn't it worth the price? And it's not high." Alexander's frustration was cleared by the appearance of the check.
"Three hundred and sixty million dollars to buy, at this time, this is not an ordinary price." Andy looked at him and said, even if the flowers have blossomed in his heart, he showed great restraint on his face.
He knows better than anyone else how high the value of the NBA ’s team will be in the future. The devaluation of the dollar and the scarcity of high-quality assets have brought about a surge in value. Think of the deadly Clippers boss and be forced out of the league. At that time, he was able to sell US $ 2 billion and was almost in a trance.
"I hope the Rockets can get better in your hands!" Alexander exhaled softly, a touch of indifference appeared on the old face.
"Yes, you know, Texas is my hometown. I naturally hope that my hometown team will become better or achieve a dynasty." Andy said with a smile.
"I will wait and see. As a loyal fan of the Rockets." Alexander did not care if Andy casually said that he still knew the original intention of Andy's acquisition of the Rockets. Need publicity to increase the influence of the new era.
After the two of them released their clenched hands, others in the conference room applauded under the guidance of Granada. Andy turned around and looked around with a confident smile on his face for a week, nodding slightly.
The former boss Alexander did not stop, leaving his conference room with his lawyer and bodyguard without any pause. The old man has become a good man. The rocket now belongs to this young man. The new king ascended the throne and needed to accept the worship of the new and old subordinates. He left with interest.
Andy went to the main seat at the top of the conference table, reached out and patted the top of the back of the boss's chair, sat down with a smile, reached out and made a gesture of depression, "Sit down."
When everyone was seated in various moods, Andy looked at Bob Myers, who was not separated by a few seats, and said, "Bob, please go and coach Coach Don Nelson."
"Okay, boss." Instead of being troubled by the boss's instructions, Bob rejoiced. In the workplace, this is definitely a trust.
In the waiting gap, Andy looked at the management of each of the original Rockets sitting here, and finally fell on Daryl Morey's face. He can clearly see that Morey, the general manager and It's not true that he is not shocked. After all, his Andy Smith's reputation is out, and people who have been fired have never been merciless, and don't worry about ghosts.
However, Andy really didn't plan to fire this Morey. This data expert, except for the criticism of the player's operation, has done a good job in all other aspects, which can make the Rockets make more than 100 million US dollars every year. It's definitely a great thing in a heavily indebted team.
And the most important reason why Andy didn't fire him was that Morey was only in the first half of the year, and just just straightened out the team. His only back-office was boss Alexander, now it is gone. It is easy for Morey to be rootless Can be subdued by him.
Soon Bob walked in with the crazy scientist Nelson, and Andy stood up with a smile and shook hands with the other person, and reached out to signal the other person to sit in the fourth position on the right side.
"The first thing is to celebrate the party at the JW Marriott Hotel tonight. Do n’t miss the appointment. By the way, I almost forgot. I know what you are worried about. I have no complaints about the Rockets management for the time being, so no one is Fired, you can rest assured. "
Andy looked around for a week with a smile, and his voice dropped. Although he did not see the obvious expression of relief and the sound of breathlessness, the tension that had always existed in the conference room disappeared.
"The second thing, Morey, this is Bob Morse. You should be no stranger. He will be the Rockets' Operations Director. The first thing you need to do next is to make the Rockets team medically all-inclusive. Leave me, don't you all say that the team doctors of the Suns have a high level of medical treatment? Bob, go and dig them for me! Houston is a medical center in the United States, but the level of team doctors has been criticized. Ray, you are going to start to prepare a medical team composed of sports medical experts. I think this is not a problem for you? "
Morey's tight nerves had been relaxed before, and his excellent brain was restored. He answered without hesitation, "No problem!"
Andy was very satisfied with Morey's attitude and smiled and nodded and said, "Don't worry about funding. I once said that running a team is not good at me, but making money is what I do best. The Rockets and others I own Like the team, I will inject $ 100 million. "
The voice just fell, I do n’t know who was the first to applaud excitedly, then everyone in the conference room began to applaud, and the smile on Andy's face was even brighter, and the eyes of appreciation looked at the first applause Bob Myers nodded slightly at him.
"Don Nelson, our crazy scientist, I believe no one does not know him. He is our new head coach, and he will bother the coach in the future." After that, Andy applauded first, and applause again in the conference room Donaldson's qualifications are there, although he has not won a championship ring, but who can underestimate the coach who changed the rules of the league.
The next is the appointment of the head of the finance department, but before that, his think tank sent finance personnel to the Rockets' finance department, so he just made a cut.
Most of the positions are still the original people. After all, the Rockets' team management team is still good. It is also ranked fifth in the entire league. If it is not necessary, the transition is smooth.
After the meeting, in the team owner's office, Andy sat on the boss chair, looked at the important Rockets sitting in a line in front of him, smiled and said, "Morey, you said I bought the entire Toyota How about the central arena? "
"hiss"
Everyone here, in addition to personally buying Granada for various teams, such as Morey, Bob Kells, and head coach Nielsen all have a feeling of seeing the rich, Nima This is called a rich man. He wants to become his own. It is really not bad money.
"If the boss wants it, it's not difficult. Our rocket itself has 21% of the shares, and the rest are in the hands of the city government. The key is the price, and Toyota spent 100 million US dollars for a permanent title. When this part of the money is acquired, it will be a difficult problem, and the city government may not be willing to relax. "Morey is very excited, after all, this is a venue that has been built for only 4 years, and the value is still great.
"The cost of the stadium at the time?"
"$ 235 million, we have more than 40 million and can use it for free for ten years."
Andy nodded and looked at Granada and said, "It's up to you to do this. It is impossible for our sports investment company to have no stadium. Toyota ’s $ 100 million naming fee is for the city government. It's going to be difficult to spit it out, so suppress the price. "
"I understand." Granada nodded.
"Coach, let me be straight, I want the championship, I don't care about the luxury tax, I want to look good, I want the championship, I want the Rockets to fill up, I want the All-Star, what players do you need?"
Old Nielsen had a black line on his forehead, his lips twitched, and he felt a bit of guts. Turning around and smiling, general manager Morey and the new team operation director Bob Myers met the eyes.
