Chapter 2503 Don't Worry

The New York Yankees, even if you don't play baseball, you've probably heard the name.

Even if you haven't heard the name of the New York Yankees, how often do you see someone wearing a hat that looks like a tree branch? That's the logo of the New York Yankees -- New York's N starts, the Yankees' Y letter, and then the Y letter is inserted in the middle of the N letter, and it becomes this tree branch shape.

In the past two years, there has been a relatively accepted statement in the world.

That is, in the world, there are two super big clubs that have surpassed the ordinary category and reached the point of being well known to the world.

One is the Real Madrid club in Spain, a nobleman among the rich.

The other is the New York Yankees in the United States, the super overlord in baseball, the unparalleled super idol team.

For those who don't understand baseball, just think about Real Madrid, and you will know what the New York Yankees are.

For those who don't understand football, just think about the New York Yankees and you will know what Real Madrid is.

Xiao Qi has lived in the United States for so many years, of course he also knows what the New York Yankees represent in the United States.

Every time the New York Yankees come to California to play a game, there must be a huge crowd, the stadium is full, and the outside of the stadium is also full of people.

Of course, baseball has almost no foundation in China.

When Xiao Qi was in elementary school, he had seen many schools organize baseball team training games, but the facts proved that this was only a flash in the pan, without the foundation of a professional team, and it was just a sport thought up by the leaders. There is no way to continue to develop.

Fans in the United States are very fond of the China Olympics. The reason is that with such high ticket prices, they can buy evaluation tickets for baseball games at any time. It is really a happy thing to appreciate the moves of the world's richest teams.

This is equivalent to traveling to the United States and seeing the same surprise that you can buy tickets for the World Cup finals at any time.

Ok.

Turn the subject back.

Unlike Real Madrid, which is a membership-only club, buying and selling are not allowed at all, but the New York Yankees are private property.

Its largest shareholder is George Steinbrenner, president of the New York Yankees for 36 years. Owning more than 50% of the shares, the remaining dozen or so shareholders are all wealthy.

The value of the entire New York Yankees is as high as 3.4 billion US dollars. About the same as Real Madrid's overall value.

Basically, it's the New York Yankees and Real Madrid vying for the No. 1 spot in sports club value.

Xiao Qi said in a flat voice, "Now George, the largest shareholder of the New York Yankees, is not in good health. His son is not very interested in the New York Yankees. You can try to contact him... I think the Blackstone Group is very Well, as long as he is dealt with, the future share acquisition will be easy."

"I haven't planned to buy it yet. You just decided for me?" Tang Mingxiang rolled his eyes at him, but he was not unhappy, "The New York Yankees are very good, everyone knows that, but I don't have that much cash! So If you want to buy a well-run club, you need at least a 20% premium, which is more than 4 billion U.S. dollars, unless I sell Facebook shares. Otherwise, I have no money.”

Xiao Qi gave Tang Mingxiang a lot of money. Even after Chose girl was bought back, Tang Mingxiang had a cash flow of more than 5 billion US dollars.

It's just that Chose girl is a money-burning website. Especially when we continue to deal with the financial crisis, we need to invest more money. To open up various channels, make the company's operations smoother, and users' choices become more and more loyal.

Therefore, after one or two years, the 5 billion US dollars was almost used by Xiao Meiji.

Tang Mingxiang has never been short of money since she was a child, and after becoming Xiao Qi's woman, she has a huge amount of funds in her hands, so she is not that economical in spending money.

But it is also because of this that Tang Mingxiang is liked by the employees, and everyone likes to work for her.

"You are really my wife. I like to buy everything when I buy things." Xiao Qi smiled and patted her jade back, "Money is not a problem. I just ask Citibank to transfer 5 billion US dollars to you. .”

"I don't want it!" Tang Mingxiang resolutely refused, "I've heard people muttering that you gave me and Caier too much money, and that Mrs. Xiao only got one-third or one-fifth of my money. , saying that you favor one over another."

"Who said that?" Xiao Qi frowned.

Although he dare not say that all his wives are close girlfriends, such a sour thing on the surface has never happened.

If someone said that, Xiao Qi would definitely not be happy, and he might have to beat him openly and secretly.

The harmony of the family is the most important thing. If a family loses any kinship and only intrigues over property, then don't mention how regretful it is.

So once this kind of thing happens, Xiao Qi will definitely express his attitude clearly, let them know what can't be said, what things can't be done, the wives will restrain themselves, so that their children will be more happy in the future. A family relationship, less entanglement with wealthy families.

"It's not what they said, it's their family." Tang Mingxiang made it clear first, and then said, "Don't ask too much about this matter. In fact, what they said was not wrong. I got too much. I I know you love me and Cai'er, but since the Xiao family has so many daughters-in-law, I can't be too proud of them.

I don't think there is any need to worry about buying a team. Didn't you say that the global financial crisis is still spreading in recent years? Then I will develop my own company first, wait until the opportunity is right, and my money is drawn out, and then I will consider which team to buy. Do you think this is good? "

"Ok."

Xiao Qi's face relaxed a little, and he held her delicate dimple in both hands, "Xiao Xiang'er, we are a family, and your husband is your eternal support. If you can't do things alone, you must ask me to help. Otherwise, watch out for your little ass."

Tang Mingxiang giggled, "Small fart? Why is it so small? Didn't you say it's big, round and curvy?"

Hearing this goblin's coquettish words, even though he was happy just now, the flame of fighting was rekindled in Xiao Qi's heart, he rolled over and pinned her under him, "Little goblin, let's see how I can deal with you! !"

...

Tang Mingxiang's words also reminded Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi also planned before that next to the Fairy Football Stadium, other arenas will be built, such as basketball halls, volleyball halls, badminton halls, etc. Although the number seems to be large, the influence is relatively small.

If you want to be more famous, you must have more popular competitions.

But it’s not enough just to play well-known sports around the world, it must conform to the viewing habits of Chinese people.

For example, the baseball and rugby discussed today will definitely not have a market in China. Even if Xiao Qi builds 20 teams to play in the league, there will not be many people watching the games.

Because the inheritance of culture is different, the things we like are naturally different.

Apart from football, basketball is a favorite sport of Chinese people, but a basketball stadium can be built.

But volleyball is now in decline. Those who are willing to spend money to watch volleyball games, unless it is the Olympics, Asian Games and other games, there are very few spectators in the league.

For the same reason, badminton halls have never been able to enter the formal commercialization of sports, and cannot make money for teams, players, TV stations, and sponsors, so there is no way to develop and grow.

It seems that the planning of sports should be cautious and cautious, but Universal Studios, which seemed to be dispensable in the past, should be vigorously introduced.

After all, sports are not very popular, but entertainment and game parks are the favorite of young people and children. People in this age group are the most willing to spend money, which will naturally benefit the surrounding areas.

But it is not so easy to introduce Universal Studios.

From now on, Universal Studios has never had the habit of opening next to Disneyland.

Seeing the king is not so easy.

The world is so big, it's easy to make money separately, so why bother to get together and fight for customers?

Do you want to buy Universal NBC Group, the parent company of Universal Studios, by yourself?

That's a bit of an exaggeration, right?

To acquire a news media company in the United States, you must be an American citizen—Murdoch was naturalized because of this, and Xiao Qi is not willing to become an American.

News media and TV stations are completely different concepts.

As long as you have money, you can buy a TV station in the United States, and then make your own broadcast programs.

However, it should be noted that first of all, you can only purchase in the name of a company, not in the name of a private person; then you need to pass the program review of the Federal Communications Commission before the program can be broadcast, and finally you have to be responsible for your own profits and losses, which costs a lot of money. After the production cost, it can be maintained, so that it can continue to be done.

Disney has its own Disney Channel, which is also a TV station that broadcasts Disney cartoons, production programs, TV series, movies, etc. on weekdays, and is very popular among young people.

And this Disney Channel is not involved in the purchase censorship of the American news media, so there is no obstacle for Xiao Qi to buy the Disney Group.

But the Global NBC Group is different. NBC Channel is one of the three major TV news networks in the United States. It is basically half of China Central Television. How can you, a foreigner, buy such an important public opinion and propaganda position?

Isn't it that you just say bad things about the United States as you want, and indoctrinate the people with whatever you want?

Although the United States brags about freedom of the press, everyone knows that it is nonsense. What you want to broadcast and what you can broadcast must be highly consistent with the government, otherwise you will not be able to play.

Therefore, no matter how rich Xiao Qi is, unless he is naturalized in the United States or under the name of Little Taylor, there is nothing he can do about Universal NBC Group.

Therefore, Xiao Qi can only use other aspects to do work everywhere and find someone to lobby Universal NBC Group. This is the correct way to start and build Universal Studios in Rongcheng! (to be continued ~^~)
