American Fortune Life
Chapter 697: Business is Business
Cannes, the famous waterfront resort city along the azure coastline, bordered by the Mediterranean Sea, azure waters, mild climate, sunny, famous for its beautiful beaches and the Cannes Film Festival held every May.
Monica Belucci, dressed in a white bohemian dress, spreads her long, slightly curly hair, clamps an elongated cigarette on her finger and holds a cell phone in her other hand, watching the sunset slowly on the sea level.
Monica, whose name is Italian art dedicated to the world, has been troubled by reporters and paparazzi since she was photographed in a quarrel with Vincent Castle, and the outside world guessed that the marriage had lit red lights, and she had to take her daughter Deva to escape the dust in this quiet little town of Cannes.
The text just received made Monica's mood incredibly complicated, and for Andy, the little man, she knew very well that she had nothing but coveted her face and RUN.
“Hey ~”
Monica sighs a melancholy sigh, the smoke blows away, and for her husband Vincent Castle, if it's just stealing or something, to be honest, it's really nothing to them who are in the circle of fame.
But GAY, for a woman, it's definitely a lie to marry and have a baby, and this kind of deception is unforgivable. Think about the sweetness of the past, and you can't help but feel disgusted.
Remember the scene when he threw the photo at him that day, seeing his somewhat panicked eyes, and the angry roar that ended up telling him the truth, all made Monica even more sad.
A month has passed, and marriage has come to an end in entanglement. After all, the influence of the two men in Europe is enormous.
The only thing that doesn't change is her steadfast, confident, calm look on her face. Deep as the stars in the night, press the cigarette out, walk barefoot to sit by the sofa, lift your legs curly in the sofa, open your right hand and comb your hair backwards, holding your phone and watching the text from the little man.
After a slight hesitation, the long finger gently moved and replied to a text message.
“I'm in Cannes. ”
The text message prompted the sound, causing Andy, who was in the middle of a video with Ivana, to lose his temper.
“Honey, the American media has given you a new name, sports tycoon! ”
Andy shook his head and laughed, "Investing in these teams is about business strategy, not just interest. As a result of the financial crisis, the global real industry, particularly traditional manufacturing, will be hit hard, and the real economy is facing a difficult trend of disinvestment. And I want to quickly turn the wealth from the capital market into a quality physical asset, and sports investment is undoubtedly a quality project that can be passed down. ”
Ivana Tian nodded with a smile, still very much agreeing with Andy's investment philosophy. In fact, sometimes she feels that her boyfriend is a contradictory group with many characteristics of past business tycoons and, for example, IT, venture capital emerging industry tycoons.
Convergent, likes to stand behind the scenes, doesn't show up easily. Manage the industry completely professionally, employ professionals to run it, and only shoot the board personally when it involves important matters.
At the same time, however, he is accustomed to overnight wealth, likes to throw thousands of dollars, and is more willing to use money to solve all problems in various capital operations or acquisitions.
“Honey, a lot of the media are now analyzing the impact your membership will have on the three big leagues, the New York Times reviews you... Wait, I'll read it to you.
“Flexible management, open communication, brings together the wisdom of external consultants and constant reassessment of how the business behaves and objectives. These are the unusual" Silicon Valley models ”in professional sports that he has brought about new changes in sports alliances. ” ”
“Well, honey, all I can say about that is that they think too much, you know, there are a lot of smart people in the world, and I'm not the smartest one. I'm just an integrator.” Andy said indifferently.
Ivana couldn't help but pull the corner of her mouth in the video and her boyfriend liked this faint outfit the most, it was just unbearable.
The two chatted for a while before finishing the video call. The first thing I did was pick up my phone and open the text, and I saw the information on it, and I couldn't help but laugh, "Wait for me! ”
Press down the heat in your heart, put your phone aside, open your Facebook, and start looking over your last few messages.
There are over 100,000 messages below a photograph of him surrounding a hot stab scarf sent after his own acquisition.
Looking at it, I found a few messages to reply to, which is the best way to maintain my fan corps, which is to keep bubbling, not ignoring a cold look.
“Having an English super team is a great thing, not to mention a Tottenham hot stab... ”
Performance, Market Value, Exposure... These are the things Andy wants most from the sports industry, and he wouldn't take these teams as accessories, big toys. He knows better than anyone that professional sports clubs can become real money shakers because of the dramatic increase in the cost of televising.
In 2007, the NBA team has a total market value of $11.2 billion, with an average market value of $373 million per team. In the future, this average market value will increase by at least three or four times as new capital inflows are speculated together with heaven-price transmission fees.
Andy invests in sports, but he doesn't have that kind of sentiment. He prefers the NBA saying, "businessisbusiness” business is business.
Andy has no feelings for the industry or the players in his hands, and as long as the price is right, he does not rule out the possibility of trading, of course, first of all to be able to impress him, including the so-called non-selling Yao, Bel.
Browse through the official websites of several of your teams, watch the new announcement above, who leaves, which player joins, watch the various fan messages after the announcement, have fun, curse, and all kinds of analysts, very lively.
Of course, it was inevitable that players who were traded would be dissatisfied, and some of the stink-mouthed players were confronted with all sorts of complaints from the media, making Andy laugh.
“When you leave, if you have feelings, wipe away your tears and quickly enter the state; when you are full of grievances, calm down, you do not necessarily offend anyone and you do not necessarily make a big mistake, because you are only merchandise and the value of the merchandise is in exchange! ”
Andy muttered to himself, although he wanted to write it down on Facebook, but thinking about the saliva storm that might cause, he had to pass the mouth addiction by himself. Knowing a lot of things, he couldn't say, he had to defend his image and couldn't mark Xinli as different to die.
At dinner, Andy made arrangements for Tory to take two days off, a woman in Paris who couldn't calm down and play in the fashion capital, and he himself naturally needed to disappear for a few days.
After all, journalists in Europe are not vegetarian, and in Europe, journalists and paparazzi dig celebrity stars by more means and madness. Knowing that Vincent Castle's black materials were obtained by several French subordinates, he can't guarantee that nobody would do that to him.
After dinner, Andy called Kenny over and said to him, "You send someone to Cannes to rent a yacht, and I'll spend the next few days on it. ”
Kenny nodded and said, "Yes, boss. ”
Andy laughed, but seeing Kenny's face with an obvious desire to stop, he couldn't help but continue laughing: “Tell me if you need anything, who are you showing this look to? ”
“Cough...” Kenny had a slightly embarrassing slight cough and chuckled and said: “Boss, since the incident at Nasr Square in Iraq on the 16th of this month, Blackwater has been revoked from its license to operate in Iraq. ”
“Hmm? Do you want to get involved? Are there enough operatives?” Andy soon became clear what Kenny and Joseph meant, and after a moment of silence asked seriously.
“Enough, the security company now has three quick reaction teams, all veterans of my company and Joseph, who have battlefield experience, and they want to make more money, so... ”
“Well, you need me... ”
Before Andy finished, Kenny hurried ahead and said, "The company has received orders, except for the security escort. There are orders from the military. Boss, look? ”
“ ”Andy's a little quiet, Nima, and it's going to be war rich.
Well, because blackwater is already stinking streets in Iraq, shooting women and children, sparking protests from the Iraqi public, and blackwater employees who have been suspended from their licences are grounded and unable to go out, the business gaps that arise naturally need to be filled, and Andy's security company with backgrounds and the new CEO with deep ties to the U.S. military, as well as Joseph and Kenny's two partners, will naturally not lack such orders.
“businessisbusiness”. Andy glanced at Kenny and said softly.
