New York Yankees, even if you don't play baseball, you should have heard of this name.
Even if you have never heard the name of the New York Yankees, have you often seen someone wearing a hat that looks like a tree branch? That is the logo of the New York Yankees. New York starts with n, Yankees
The y letter is inserted into the middle of the n letter, and it becomes the shape of a tree branch.
In the past two years, there has been a relatively recognized statement in the world.
That is, there are two super big clubs in the world that have transcended the ordinary category and have reached the point where everyone knows them.
One is the Spanish club Real Madrid, a noble among the wealthy.
The other is the New York Yankees in the United States, the super dominant team in baseball and an unparalleled 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, and of course he 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 sea of people, 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 saw many schools organizing baseball team training and competitions, but it turned out that this was just a flash in the pan. There was no basis for a professional team. It was just a sport that the leaders came up with on their heads.
There is no way to continue to develop.
American fans have a very favorable impression of the Chinese Olympic Games. The reason is that when the ticket price is so high, you can actually buy evaluation tickets for baseball games at any time and watch the world's top teams compete. It is really a happy thing.
This is equivalent to your surprise when you travel to the United States and see that World Cup finals tickets can be purchased at any time.
All right.
Change the topic back.
Unlike Real Madrid, which is a members-only club and does not allow buying and selling, the New York Yankees are private property.
Its largest shareholder, George Steinbrenner, the president of the New York Yankees who has run the New York Yankees for 36 years, owns more than 50% of the shares, and the remaining dozen shareholders are all wealthy people.
The entire New York Yankees team is worth as much as 3.4 billion U.S. dollars, which is about the same as the overall value of Real Madrid.
Basically, it's the New York Yankees and Real Madrid competing for the No. 1 spot in sports club value.
Xiao Qi said calmly, "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 Blackstone Group is very
Well, as long as we get rid of him, then future share acquisitions will be easy."
"I haven't planned to acquire it yet, so you decide for me?" Tang Mingxiang rolled his eyes at him, but was not unhappy. "Everyone knows that the New York Yankees are very good, but I don't have that much cash! So...
If you want to buy a well-run club, you have to pay a premium of at least 20%, which comes to more than 4 billion US dollars. Unless I sell the shares of FAEBOOK, I will have no money."
Xiao Qi gave Tang Mingxiang a lot of money. Even after the erotic girl was purchased, Tang Mingxiang had more than 5 billion US dollars in cash flow.
It’s just that Cho Sex Girl is a money-burning website. Especially when we continue to deal with the financial crisis, it is even more necessary to invest money to open up various channels, so that the company’s operations will be smoother, and users will become more and more loyal to their choices.
.
Therefore, after a year or two, the US$5 billion has been almost used by Xiao Meiji.
Tang Mingxiang has never been short of money since she was a child. After becoming Xiao Qi's woman, she has a huge amount of money in her hands, so she is not so economical with money.
But precisely because of this, Tang Mingxiang is loved by her 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 on the 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 heard some people muttering that you gave me and Cai'er too much money, and the other Mrs. Xiao only got one-third or one-fifth of mine.
, saying that you favor one over the other."
"Who said that?" Xiao Qi frowned.
Although I dare not say that all of his wives are close best friends, such openly sarcastic remarks have never happened.
If someone said that, Xiao Qi would definitely not be happy, and he would probably beat him up secretly or overtly.
Family harmony is the most important thing. If a family has no family ties and is only left with intrigues over property, it would be a pity.
So once something like this happens, Xiao Qi will definitely express his attitude clearly and let them know what they can't say and what they can't do. Wives must restrain themselves so that their children can have more children in the future.
A sense of family affection and less entanglements from wealthy families.
"It's not what they said, it's their family members." Tang Mingxiang made it clear first, and then said, "Don't ask more about this matter. In fact, they are not wrong. I got too much. I
I know you love me and Cai'er, but since the Xiao family now has so many daughters-in-law, I can't be too arrogant.
I don’t think there is any need to worry about buying the team. Didn’t you say that the global financial crisis is still spreading in the past few years? Then I will develop my own company first, and wait until the opportunity is right and my money is withdrawn.
Now, let’s consider which team to buy. Do you think this is a good idea?”
"All right."
Xiao Qi's face relaxed a little, and he held her dimples with both hands, "Xiao Xiang'er, we are a family, and your husband will always be your support. If you can't do something alone, you must call me to help.
Otherwise, watch your little butt."
Tang Mingxiang chuckled, "Little butt? Where is it small? Didn't you say it's big, round, and curvy?"
Listening to the goblin's charming words, Xiao Qi felt happy just now. The fire of fighting was rekindled in Xiao Qi's heart. He turned over and pressed her down, "Little goblin, let's see how I deal with you!"
!”
…
Tang Mingxiang's words also reminded Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi had previously planned to build other arenas next to the Fairy Football Stadium, such as basketball halls, volleyball halls, badminton halls, etc. Although the number seemed to be greater, the influence was smaller.
If you want to be more famous, you must have more popular competitions.
But it’s not enough to just make famous sports around the world, they must conform to the viewing habits of Chinese people.
For example, the baseball and rugby discussed today definitely have no market in China. Even if Xiao Qi established 20 teams to play in the league, not many people would watch the games.
Because the cultural inheritance is different, the things you like are naturally different.
Apart from football, basketball is a very popular sport among Chinese people, so we can build a basketball stadium.
But volleyball is now in decline, and those who are willing to spend money to watch volleyball matches, unless it is the Olympic Games, Asian Games, etc., the number of spectators in the league is still very small.
Badminton halls have the same reason. They have never been able to enter formal sports commercialization and cannot make teams, players, TV stations, and sponsors make money, so they cannot develop and grow.
It seems that planning for sports should be more cautious, but Universal Studios, which seemed dispensable in the past, should be vigorously introduced.
After all, sports are not very popular, but entertainment and game parks are the favorites of young people and children. People of this age group are most willing to spend money, which will naturally benefit the surrounding areas.
But it’s not that easy to introduce Universal Studios.
As of now, Universal Studios has never been in the habit of opening next to Disneyland.
It is not so easy for a king to meet a king.
The world is such a big place. You can make money easily if you work separately, so why do you need to get together and fight for customers?
Is it necessary to acquire Universal NBC Group, the parent company of Universal Studios, again?
That’s a bit exaggerated, right?
To acquire a news media company in the United States, you must be an American citizen. Murdoch was naturalized as an American because of this. 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 produce and broadcast your own programs.
The only thing to note is that first of all, you can purchase it in the name of a company, not in the name of a private person; then you need to pass the Federal Communications Commission's program review before you can broadcast the program. Finally, you have to be responsible for your own profits and losses, which costs a lot of money.
After the production costs are paid, it can still be maintained, and then it can be continued.
Disney has its own Disney Channel, which is also a TV station that plays Disney cartoons, production programs, TV series, movies, etc. on weekdays. It is very popular among teenagers.
The Disney Channel is not involved in the purchase review of American news media, so there is no obstacle to Xiao Qi's purchase of the Disney Group.
But Global NBC Group is different. NBC Channel is one of the three major television 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 propaganda position?
Doesn’t that mean you can just say bad things about the United States whenever you want, and instill whatever you want into the people?
Although the United States brags about freedom of the press, everyone knows that this is bullshit. Whatever you want to broadcast and what can be 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 is under Taylor's name, there will be nothing he can do to Global NBC Group.
Therefore, Xiao Qi can only work through other aspects and find people to lobby Universal NBC Group. This is the correct way to open and build Universal Studios in Chengdu! (To be continued...)
