Chapter 2628: The Big Sports Acquisition (Part 1)

United States, New York.

Located in the super-rich area of ​​Long Island, rich people from various industries live.

Among them, the most famous ones are, of course, Larry Ellison, the president of Oracle, and Tang Mingxiang from Huaguo.

Tang Mingxiang is already known to everyone in the United States, and everyone knows it.

With her Chose girl, Zappos, Tagged, and the largest shareholder of Facebook, Tang Mingxiang has become the third richest man in the United States, second only to Bill Boys and Mr. Buffett.

By the way, Tang Mingxiang is only holding a green card from the United States, but she has not been naturalized in the United States, but Americans regard her as an American.

Because all of Tang Mingxiang's businesses were established in the United States and then succeeded in the United States, this is the most typical implementer of the American dream, and it is an excellent example of what the American spirit advocates.

So now many people are lobbying for Tang Mingxiang to be naturalized in the United States, including Xiao Qi's friend, New York City Mayor Bloomberg. They think that if Tang Mingxiang can become an American, she will not only be the glory of the United States, but also the United States. Be one of the brightest business stars in New York!

It's just that Tang Mingxiang has no intention of being naturalized in the United States at all. She is a Chinese, why should she become an American?

If I am naturalized in the United States, not to mention my husband, even my own mother will use a stick to teach this daughter a lesson.

Ellison's assets are not as good as Tang Mingxiang's, but his Oracle company has great development potential, so he is considered to be a strong contender for the top three richest people in the United States in the future.

In addition to them, there are also many billionaires in this area. Although many rich people in the United States do not often appear on the rich list, there are many rich people with 1 billion to 3 billion US dollars, and many of them are very low-key. Forbes simply There is no way to investigate their real wealth.

Of course, Hank Steinbrenner, who also lives in the same area, is definitely not a low-key rich man, because his father is too high-profile. And the property owned by their family is too high-profile, so the current CEO of the New York Yankee Group. The family net worth is about 3 billion U.S. dollars. In addition to the 56% stake in the New York Yankee Group worth 3.4 billion U.S. dollars, their investments in other fields also have more than a billion U.S. dollars.

As soon as you hear the name Hank, you will know that the Steinbrenner family is descended from Germans, just like Thomson’s status in Denmark and John’s status in England. People in each country have their own Naming habits.

As a rich man in a traditional industry. The Steinbrenner family is also very good. They are also a member of the elite class in the United States and the backbone of the United States.

Deep down, Hank doesn't like the New York Yankees much more than his entrepreneurial dad.

Of course, this dislike does not mean that he hates the Yankees or baseball. In fact, Hank has watched Yankees games with his father since he was a child. He is an out-and-out Yankees fan.

But the problem is that George Steinbrenner is the overlord of the New York Yankees. He has trained the New York Yankees from a small team to today's No. 1 in the world. The halo of merit and glory is destined to make him be written into history.

As George's successor, Hank will definitely live in his father's shadow for the rest of his life.

The team is doing well. Everyone will say that Hank finally didn't lose his father's name.

The team is not doing well. People would say, look, he's just not as good as his dad.

Therefore, when Hanke took over the New York Yankees, he felt like he had received a hot potato. Although he had been running the business with trepidation for more than a year after retiring to the second line due to his father's health, he always felt that he was not that material.

Compared with the New York Yankees, which has no way to improve its management, Hanke is more interested in emerging technologies, such as network technology and smart electronics. On the contrary, he has a strong interest. He has invested in a lot of Internet companies in the past few years. But due to vision and ability, the gains are not very big.

Under such circumstances, he was very surprised at Tang Mingxiang's visit in person, and he inevitably had more expectations in his heart.

The rich and common people in the United States all know who the man behind Tang Mingxiang is, and the companies she holds in her hands have all become Xiangmomo without exception, and everyone wants to get in and get a share.

Even if it's not the current companies, if Xiao Qi wants to buy some property for his wife in the future, then if Tang Mingxiang is willing to bring along someone to make a fortune, then he will definitely be able to make a fortune!

However, no matter whether it is a fund company or an angel investment company, they can't get anything good in front of Tang Mingxiang.

Because this beautiful oriental woman is so rich, and her husband is the richest man in the world, what kind of investment and support does she need?

In America, having money basically means everything!

Not to mention anything else, once encountering difficulties, Tang Mingxiang can basically solve the problem as long as he keeps throwing money in.

If anyone wants to compete with her for more money...

Hehe, can a rational rich man be so idiotic?

Hanke knew that his own wealth was not enough in front of Tang Mingxiang, so he lowered his posture and came to greet Tang Mingxiang at the gate of the manor in person.

"Miss Tang, you are much more beautiful than in the photo!" Sitting in the living room, Hank said politely.

In the United States, it is very polite to praise a lady so directly.

Tang Mingxiang pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Steinbrenner, you are much more interesting than the Germans I imagined."

"Our family has been in the United States for hundreds of years. Naturally, we do as the Romans do." Hank said, "Speaking of which, those of us who have been in this land for a hundred years are not as good as you who have only been in the United States for three years. I am really ashamed Ah! Look at Mr. Xiao Qi again, it is obvious that young people are now in the world!"

"Mr. Steinbrenner, you are not old." Tang Mingxiang said with a smile, "A man in his fifties is the time to truly mature in his career. From now on, you can definitely have more achievements in more fields. A lot of achievements. For example, what do you think of Uber?"

"Uber!?" Hank was taken aback.

"Yes, my man is looking for some partners recently, hoping to better develop Uber. Didn't he just sell 15% of the shares to ITOCHU some time ago?" Tang Mingxiang said in a seemingly flat manner.

Although Hank is not as cunning and cunning as his father George Sr., he is definitely a veteran in the mall.

After hearing the words, if he still didn't understand what Tang Mingxiang meant, his father would beat him to death.

Swallowing his saliva, Hank said with a little excitement: "Miss Tang, you mean that it is possible for me to join Uber?"

As a New Yorker, Hanke certainly knows that so far, the city where Uber’s business has developed the best is New York. It can even be said that Uber is a booming new industry in the entire New York state.

At least 50% of people in New York who like to use taxis have changed their habits and used Uber with their smartphones.

People who didn’t use taxis very much before saw how convenient, fast and cheap Uber is, and joined in one after another. The capacity of the entire taxi industry has increased by almost 38%.

It is a pity that the traditional taxi and car-booking industries have not been able to enjoy the benefits brought about by such customer expansion. In addition, they have expensive top-up fees, so the conflicts between the two parties have always been sharp and have triggered many times. disputes.

But these big and small troubles have not affected Uber's continuous expansion, and now they have almost covered large and medium-sized cities across the United States.

A group of investment experts in Silicon Valley and Wall Street have raised the valuation of Uber six times in just three months, and now it has reached a valuation of 28 billion US dollars, which is jaw-dropping.

It is hard for ordinary people to imagine that Uber is just a taxi app. How could it be so valuable?

In fact, Uber is more popular with investors than ordinary people imagined. After Xiao Qi sold 15% of his shares to ITOCHU Corporation last month, no less than 30 top investors and fund managers, They all went to people around Xiao Qi, hoping to get some Uber shares.

Mr. Buffett is one of them. According to what he said in a dinner conversation with a friend, he is optimistic about Uber’s performance in big cities around the world, so it is not surprising that Uber’s valuation is twice as high as it is now. ,

Compared with ordinary people, Hank is very rich and super rich, but he knows his own weight, and he can’t even rank in the top 100 in the United States, so although he is very jealous of Uber, he has no delusions that he will be able to buy Uber one day. to its stake.

Now suddenly Tang Mingxiang came over and talked about this matter, Hanke couldn't help but cheer up.

Looking into his expectant eyes, Tang Mingxiang smiled and said, "If Mr. Hanke can agree to my request, then we can give you 5% of Uber's shares, and the price will be calculated based on Itochu's previous valuation of 25 billion US dollars. "

Hearing Tang Mingxiang's explanation that it is available for purchase, Hanke suddenly calmed down.

Of course he wouldn't think that Tang Mingxiang was lying to himself, that was unnecessary.

But he wouldn't pretend to think that Tang Mingxiang could personally ask him to buy shares in a hot company like Uber because he was so proud.

But why would Tang Mingxiang give herself such a big piece of pie?

"Tell me, what's the condition?" Hank, who had thought for a long time and didn't know what Tang Mingxiang liked in him, could only raise his head and ask.

"I want the shares of the Steinbrenner family's New York Yankees, please make a price!" Tang Mingxiang said bluntly.

"Ok!?"

Hank gasped, "You want to buy the Yankee Group!?" (To be continued ~^~)
