American Fortune Life
Chapter 716: Business is business
Cannes, a famous seaside resort city with a azure coastline, is bordering the Mediterranean Sea, with azure blue waters, a mild climate and sunny weather. It is world-renowned for its beautiful beaches and the Cannes Film Festival, which is held every May.
In a holiday villa on a scenic coastal boulevard, Monica Bellucci, wearing a white bohemian dress, her curly hair was loose, and her fingers were slender. Cigarette, holding the mobile phone in the other hand, looking at the sunset slowly falling on the sea level.
Monica, who is known as the Italian art dedication to the world, has been troubled by reporters and paparazzi since she was photographed quarreling with Vincent Casso. The outside has speculated that the marriage has turned on a red light. With his daughter Deva came to this quiet little town of Cannes to escape the hustle and bustle.
The text message just received made Monica's mood extremely complicated. To the little man of Andy, she knew very well that she coveted her looks and her body.
"Oh ~"
Monica gave a melancholy sigh, and the smoke blew. For her husband, Vincenzo, if it was just stealing something, to be honest, it was really nothing to them in the fame and fortune circle. .
But gay, for a woman, is undoubtedly a lie to marriage, and she also gave birth to a child. This kind of deception is unforgivable. Thinking about the past sweetness can make people feel sick.
I remember the scene when I threw the photo to him that day, and seeing his somewhat flustered eyes, as well as the angry growling, finally told himself the facts that made Monica even more sad.
A month has passed, and the marriage has ended in entanglement. It is secretive, after all, the influence of the two in Europe is still great.
The only constant expression on her slightly stingy face was her firm, confident and quiet look. Deep as the starlight in the night, press the cigarette, walk barefoot to the sofa and sit down, raise his legs and curl up in the sofa, open his right hand to brush his hair back, hold the mobile phone and look at the little man Incoming text message.
After a little hesitation, the long fingers flicked and responded to a text message.
"I'm in Cannes."
The text message reminder sounded, and the corner of Andy's mouth that was in the video with Ivana could not help but slightly twitched.
"Dear, the American media have given you a new title, sports tycoon!"
Andy shook his head and laughed, "Investing in these teams is based on business strategy considerations, not just interest. Under the impact of the financial crisis, the global physical industry, especially traditional manufacturing, will be greatly impacted. The real economy is facing a thorny trend of destabilizing funds. I want to quickly turn the wealth from the capital market into high-quality physical assets, and sports investment is undoubtedly a high-quality project that can be passed on. "
Ivana smiled and nodded sweetly, and still agreed with Andy's investment ideas. In fact, sometimes she also felt that her boyfriend was a contradictory collective, with the past industrial tycoons and such as it, venture capital emerging industries Many characteristics of big guys.
Introverted, like to stand behind the scenes, easily not appearing. Manage the industry with a professional attitude, hire professionals to run it, and only make a personal decision when it comes to major issues.
But at the same time, he is accustomed to getting rich overnight, and likes to spend a lot of money. He is more willing to use money to solve all problems in various capital operations or acquisitions.
"Dear, many media are now analyzing what impact your joining will have on the three major leagues. The New York Times evaluates you ... wait a minute, I will read it for you.
"Flexible management, open communication, the wisdom of external consultants, and constant re-evaluation of the company's way of doing things and goals. These are the" Silicon Valley Models "that are not common in professional sports. New alliance changes. ""
"Well, my dear, I can only say that they think too much, you know, there are many smart people in this world, I'm not the smartest one. I'm just an integrator." Andy said lightly. .
In the video, Ivana couldn't help but twitch her lips. Her boyfriend likes this kind of faint pretense, which is really unbearable.
The two talked for a while before ending the video call. The first time they picked up the phone and opened the text message, they saw the above message and laughed, "Wait for me!"
Suppressing the enthusiasm in your heart, set the phone aside, open your Facebook, and start to read the recent messages.
After his successful acquisition of Tottenham, a picture of him surrounding a Tottenham scarf has been sent to more than 100,000 messages.
I looked at it and found a few comments to reply. This is the best way to maintain the fan group by myself, that is, continuous bubbling, rather than a cold look.
"It's a great thing to have a Premier League team, let alone Tottenham ..."
Record, market value, exposure ... These are the things that Andy most wants to acquire the sports industry. He does not consider these teams as accessories, big toys. He knows better than anyone that professional sports clubs will become a real cash cow because of the sharp increase in television broadcast fees.
In 2007, the market value of the NBA team is $ 11.2 billion, and the average market value of each team is $ 373 million. In the future, this average market value will increase at least 3 or 4 times with the influx of new capital and sky-high broadcast fees.
Andy does not have so many feelings in investing in sports. He prefers the nba mantra that "businessisbusiness" is business.
For the industry or player in his own hands, Andy has no resentment in it. As long as the price is appropriate, he does not rule out the possibility of trading. Of course, first of all, he must be able to impress him, including the so-called non-sale goods Yao, Bell .
Browsing the official websites of several of their teams, watching the new announcements above, who and who left, and which players joined, watching various fan comments after the announcement, there are happy, abusive, and various Analysis of Emperor, very lively.
Of course, the players who are unable to avoid being traded will be dissatisfied. Some stinking players even face various complaints from the media, which makes Andy laugh again and again.
"When you leave, if you have feelings, please wipe away your tears and quickly enter the state; when you are full of resentment, please calm down, you may not have offended anyone, and you may not have made a big mistake, because you are only goods. The value is in exchange! "
Andy murmured to himself, although he wanted to write it on Facebook, but thought of the drool storm that might cause him, he could only get addicted to it by himself. There are many things to know. We must maintain our own image, and we must not be creative and die.
At dinner, Andy made arrangements for the Torres and gave them two days off. In Paris, the woman couldn't be calm and fashionable, and he naturally needed to disappear for a few days.
After all, journalists in Europe are not vegetarian, and in Europe, journalists paparazzi dig celebrity stars have more means to work and be crazy. You must know that Vincenzo's black materials were obtained by a few French subordinates. He ca n’t guarantee that. No one dealt with him like that.
After dinner, Andy called Kenny over and said to him, "You send someone to Cannes to rent a yacht. I will spend the next few days on the yacht."
Kenny nodded and said, "Yes, boss."
Andy smiled, but when he saw the obvious but utterly utterance on Kenny's face, he couldn't help laughing: "Say anything, let's show this expression to anyone."
"Cough ..." Kenny gave a slightly awkward cough, smirked and said, "Boss, that's it. Since the incident at Nasul Plaza in Iraq on the 16th this month, Blackwater has been revoked in Iraq. License for the event ... "
"Huh? Do you want to get involved? Are the agents enough?" Andy immediately knew what Kenny and Joseph meant, and asked after a moment of groan.
"That's enough. The security company already has three quick reaction teams. All of them are veterans who retired from the service company with Joseph. They both have battlefield experience. They also hope to make more money, so ..."
"Well, need me ..."
Before waiting for Andy to finish, Kenny hurriedly said, "The company has received the order, but in addition to the order sent by Anbao, and the order sent by the army, boss, look?"
"..." Andy was a little silent, Nima, this was about to make a fortune.
Well, because Blackwater has smelly streets in Iraq, the shooting of women and children has caused protests from the Iraqi people. The blackwater employees who have been revoked their licenses are barred and cannot go out, so the business gap generated by this is natural. Someone needs to make up for it, and Andy's security company with background and the new ceo who has a deep relationship with the US military, as well as the two partners of Joseph and Kenny, naturally will not lack such orders.
"Businessisbusiness". Andy's eyes were frozen and he looked at Kenny, and said lightly.
