Chapter 377 Investing in the White Sox?

"Baseball is currently the most popular sport in the world, especially among the upper class. There must be baseball among the sports they like to pay attention to.

I am very optimistic about its future development, maybe in the future I will form a team and join the major leagues. "

Since Major League Baseball was reorganized in 1919, under the chairmanship of a justice, the rules have become stricter, and there has been a particular focus on shady gambling.

This makes those who want to make a living from the 'black ball' more careful.

The good news is that the sports industry is growing faster, more equitable, receiving more attention, and growing influence in the United States.

There is no such thing as basketball in this era, and the NBA has not even been established!

Today's America is dominated by baseball and football, which is favored by high society and ladies.

Men and the general public like head-to-head American football, where tall players sweat freely on the field and compete to see who is stronger.

At this time, American football, that is, rugby games, is really all kinds of toughness.

Compared with the previous life, it is much more violent. Bleeding and injury, and career scrapping are common occurrences, which basically happen in every game.

But it is also because of this that it has become the most popular sport in the United States.

This has allowed many people to regain the excitement of the Western pioneer era, and the violence and passion in their bones can be vented in the shouts of the arena.

"Charlie, are you really interested in joining the baseball league?" Komisky asked thoughtfully.

The two had chatted for a while, and Li Zitao didn't know the rules very well, but whenever he mentioned the word "baseball", his eyes would light up, which in Komiski's view was his love for baseball.

In fact, this is entirely Komisky’s wishful thinking. The reason why Li Zitao’s eyes light up whenever he mentions “baseball” is because this sport will bring him extremely high influence and a lot of money.

The most influential sport in sports is football.

But because of his long-term disappointment with the football of his motherland in his previous life, Li Zitao feels a headache when he mentions these two words now.

Anyway, for future investment in sports, he will definitely choose one of American football and baseball, or both together.

One is the most popular sport in North America, the other is the second most popular sport in North America, and one of the most popular sports among the middle and upper classes in Europe and America.

Moreover, baseball is still the national sport of the United States, just like table tennis in the future of Huaguo, there is always no shortage of favorite audiences.

Having the same hobbies will deepen people's sense of identity with him.

"Charlie, are you interested in getting a stake in the White Sox?" Komisky's sudden proposal was surprising.

"Are you going to give up sports?" White Sox, former world champions.

Even if their strength was greatly damaged due to the Black Sox incident and they temporarily missed the world-class competition, it has a long history and honor, which no one can deny.

"It's not about giving up, it's about finding someone to cooperate with." Komiski was a little bit dumbfounded, and spread his hands; "Don't think about kicking me out, the White Sox was founded by my father, and I won't throw it away."

"I didn't mean that." Li Zitao smiled awkwardly, it seems that his reputation is not very good now.

"You need a guide, and the White Sox is the ideal choice. We have obtained the recognition of the major leagues. Next year, the White Sox will host the first All-Star Game at our home stadium, Komiski Stadium."

In the All-Star Game, it seems that Komiski wants to choose the right target in this game and bring the team back to the World Series.

"No problem, talk to the club tomorrow?" Li Zitao invited him.

"It seems that I have the honor to join the mysterious 22." Komiski said with a smile.

The members of Club No. 22 are all high-profile figures in the upper-class banquets, and each has a strong influence in their respective fields.

The last "Celebrities" ranked the No. 22 club as the 11th most influential club in the United States.

It is also the youngest, fastest rising and youngest club.

In front of it are mysterious organizations with a long history and great influence.

Such as Freemasonry, Skull and Bones, Fraternity, Palm Cove, etc.

However, according to the occasional exchanges between think tanks and members, I have heard of organizations such as the Imperial Society, the Illuminati, the Knights of Columbus, and the Club of Rome that ordinary people do not know.

Like Freemasons and Skull and Bones, they are huge elite organizations with global influence. No one knows how powerful they are, only those who join them know.

However, the No. 22 club is now considered a member of the upper-class club, and everyone is deeply honored to be able to accept the invitation.

Rockefeller, DuPont, Mellon, Astor, McCormick, Firestone...

Among the members of Club No. 22, there are more than twenty families with great influence in North America.

Even the Chief Justice of the United States, Charles Evans Hughes, was one of them.

Compared with flying clubs, Jewish clubs, and XX state clubs, which have racial, occupational, and geographical restrictions, No. 22 is a bit messy.

It sounds like it will give people an unprofessional feeling, and people can't help but think whether there is a mixture of fish and dragons inside.

But a line of "no application accepted, invitation only," made it instantly rise to the top.

Even if internal members want to introduce new members, they need to be recommended by 3 current members, fill in the reason for the recommendation, and then make an invitation after strict review.

This harshness was sought after because it led them to believe that Club 22 was a truly elite group into which only the very best were invited.

"The club's invitation system is the wisest decision you've ever made." After bidding farewell to Komiski, Lawrence brought up the club's invitation system again.

Just this one will raise the club's aggressiveness by N notches.

Even old families like Mellon and DuPont, and families like Roosevelt who have great influence in the political world, after receiving the invitation, rushed to the club to complete the membership application in person, casting an even more mysterious veil on it.

The easiest way to get people's attention is to make it difficult to do it.

This is why limited editions are sought after. For complex creatures like humans, the best is never available.

"Charlie, long time no see." Just like Juliana who suddenly appeared in front of him at this moment, her tall figure was outlined by the tight skirt, she was as sexy as spring medicine.

"Marian, it's been a long time." Adelaide came slowly, took her fiancé's arm affectionately, and smiled at Juliana.
