Chapter 655 Price Increase! The Price Must Be Raised!

The charm of competitive sports lies in its unpredictable results. This uncertainty, combined with organization, confrontation, and technology, constitutes a victory or defeat in modern society comparable to war. The confrontation between regions and teams stimulates people's adrenal glands. At the same time, when watching the game, the excess tyrannical factor in the body can be vented.

Jordan, the god of basketball, once said, "I can accept failure, but I will never give up."

This sentence just confirms the result of today's game. Before the first round of the playoffs, who would have thought that the Brooklyn Nets, ranked sixth in the Eastern Conference, would push the third-ranked Chicago Bulls to the edge of a cliff after three rounds ?

And in the first game back at home, he humiliated his opponent with a huge score difference of 40 points. This script, let alone the fans dare not think about it, even the stars in the team have never thought about it.

The head star Chris Paul, who scored 27 points and 14 assists in this game, said in an interview after the game, "This is an unbelievable night. Tonight's Barclays Center contributed the hottest home atmosphere in the league. The basket is undefended for us, and it is as wide as the sea. Of course, the positive significance of this victory for us is not just as simple as taking the lead in a big score. I think we have completely opened the door to victory and found With the key to victory, it is only a matter of time before we reach the second round, let us look forward to the next game."

Paul's interview was projected on the four large screens hanging from the roof of the stadium. The fans who had not left the field heard Paul's confident words and applauded enthusiastically. They hoped that he would continue to work hard. At the same time, under the leadership of a certain fan , The audience shouted: 3-1, it seems that the fans of the Nets have already booked the victory of the next game.

Of course, many Netball stars, including Chris Paul, thanked one person in the interview, that is, the club owner Yang Cheng. As for whether it is routine or from the heart, no one will explore.

The stars who were invited to watch the game also felt that the trip was worthwhile. The hearty victory instantly enhanced the cohesion of the Big Apple City. Everyone seemed to have known old friends for decades, hugging and encouraging each other. , make an appointment to continue to watch the game at the next home court, and some people have already started calling to book tickets in advance.

Besides, the big stars are worried about the tickets. While the ordinary fans are complaining, they have to grit their teeth and contribute their wallets. You must know that the ticket price for the third game of the first round is also the first home game of the Nets. Compared with the regular season, the ticket price has risen. 100%, reaching an average price of 370 US dollars. With this big victory and beautiful offensive style, it is foreseeable that the ticket price of the fourth game of the first round, which is the second home game day, will continue to soar .

At present, the official websites of the Barclays Center and the Nets have not opened ticket sales channels. Naturally, the management will not miss this kind of obvious good opportunity to make money. It has to study how far the ticket price will rise. Anyway, there is no need to worry about the fans. You can't afford tickets, but this is New York. As long as you can give top-level performances, you will never lack loyal fans. This is the charm of the largest city.

The fans began to leave the arena in an orderly manner. The staff of Barclays Center took great pleasure in cleaning up the garbage. There was no way. During the halftime, Yang Cheng's generosity doubled their workload, but no one would complain about it. Barclays The salary of the center itself is one of the best in the industry. Coupled with tonight's big victory, they will be motivated to clean, not to mention the bonus that will be given later, even if it is only 100 US dollars, it is enough to keep them motivated.

After Yang Cheng personally sent a group of watching guests away, Konrad Koch took the elevator to the coffee shop, ordered a cup of coffee and chatted, "It seems that the team will be played by you. It's a wise move."

Conrad praised that today's victory made him look radiant. You must know that he invited quite a few friends tonight. They all praised him for making an excellent investment, and he has a long face!

"I didn't do anything, I just applied Liverpool's experience to the Nets,

The nature of the management of competitive clubs is not much different. "Yang Cheng is not humble. After taking over the team, he paid far less attention than Liverpool. It's not that he didn't pay attention to the Nets, but that he really didn't have time, and he was too busy to hit the back of his head.

Conrad waved his hand, "Don't be humble, but I didn't ask you to come up to talk about this. Since the press conference of Yuanshan Capital's entry into Delta Airlines, my phone has almost exploded."

Yang Cheng frowned, "Oh? Are they all looking for you to buy oil?"

"How is it possible? If there is such a good thing, I still have time to complain to you? I am a shareholder of several other oil companies. They crossed the line, what a bunch of bastards, Koch Industries already has an oil refining business, or they made their fortunes from oil refineries, so what's wrong with them by expanding an aviation fuel product line?"

Konrad Koch spit saliva full of resentment.

"Who is looking for you? EssenMobil?"

"More than that, anyway, the top ten oil companies in the world, except for country Z, Iran, and polar bears, the rest include Saudi Aramco, British BP, French Total, Dutch Shell, and even Procter & Gamble. Now we Koch Industry has become a living target, and everyone wants to shoot an arrow!" Conrad's dark eyes were very piercing, but Yang Cheng could understand it, probably because he was pushed into a hurry.

This matter is also related to Abu and the others, but why only focus on Koch Industries?

Probably because the cake of Koch Industries is too sweet, like a honeycomb hanging on the head of the brown bear, the tempting honey is falling on the nose of the brown bear drop by drop, but the position of the honeycomb is high and hidden, the bulky brown bear It is impossible to obtain complete honey by all means.

Various forces in the United States, which symbolize the brown bear, and several other energy giants around the world have been thinking about eating this delicious hive all the time, and now they finally see a chance.

Of course, it is not only the conflict of interests, but also the ZZ aspect. Some opponents of Koch Industries, such as the old chaebol forces represented by EssenMobil, are increasingly dissatisfied with the Koch Brothers’ efforts in the ZZ field, criticizing Many on Charles Koch's left - including the US president - accuse him of assuming too much power and using it to fuel his own economy through a network of clandestine organizations they call "Kochtopus" Benefit.

Ironically, however, the Kochs are convinced that they are fighting an old establishment, at least in the ZZ realm, against a syndicate that predates them by hundreds of years.

In the eyes of the Koch brothers, the real power is the central government, because they can use tax burdens to almost destroy all industries, force citizens to buy health insurance, and force corporate giants like Koch Industries to submit .

The unwavering goal of the Koch brothers has always been "true democracy," one in which people "are able to manage their own lives, choose what they want to buy, and decide for themselves how to spend their money."

And the current democracy is to let people elect a person every two to four years, and this person will tell you how to run your own life. This famous saying comes from Charles Koch. There is no so-called democracy in the world at all, but ideals must exist, what if it is realized.

Of course, Yang Cheng will not blindly join this "democratic" cause because of this. He pays more attention to how to preserve his own interests. It can be said that he has no ambitions, but he cannot be criticized for his wrong thinking.

As mentioned earlier, Koch Industries is proud to have 60,000 employees, 4,000 miles (about 6,437 kilometers) of oil pipelines, and enough refining capacity to meet 5% of the daily oil demand of the United States. The company produces Lycra, Stainmaster carpets, Brawny paper towels and AngelSoft toilet paper are even more common daily necessities for people across the United States.

With these two things alone, Koch Industries has already had two powerful enemies, EssenMobil and Procter & Gamble.

Years ago, in the pre-Internet days, Koch Industries was widely believed to be an energy company, but that was a real misconception.

Koch Industries' core competency in turning raw materials into products of some value is what led them to acquire Georgia Pacific in 2005, "a low-cost company".

At that time, Procter & Gamble, which had the same goal, lost to Koch Industries in the bidding. The main reason was inseparable from the ZF sponsored by Koch Industries.

The use of ZZ activities to benefit oneself obviously touched P&G’s father who has countless ZZ resources behind him. You must know that fund companies including Pioneer, State Street, Blackstone and other fund companies are veterans of political and business routines. I did not expect to play for a lifetime. Ying, but was blinded by the eagle, and the grievances between the two families were born.

In fact, this is not the main reason. These consortiums of funds are rampant all over the world. As long as the company they like does not fall into the hands of others, is it disobedient? Extinction means that without the support of these companies, they will be unable to move forward in the United States. So far, even if it is a company that is backed by the huge Z country market, as long as you want to rush out of Asia and go international, you must accept the support of several funds. Zhao'an.

However, there is one company that refuses to listen to you, and you still have nothing to do with it, and that is Koch Industries.

It cannot be denied that they are notorious, and they have done a lot of dirty business for profit, but they can resist the joint attack of prehistoric giant crocodiles on their own, which cannot but be admired.

Now, many oil giants around the world and Procter & Gamble have jointly called for accountability. This pressure is really not just talk.

Yang Cheng also opened his mouth, but after all, he didn't say any comforting words. Faced with such pressure, any words are powerless, and it is even more impossible for him to promise to advance and retreat with Koch Industries. However, he agreed to list Yuanshan Capital, which means that Yuanshan and the giant crocodiles are on the same side. ()
