I am a nobleman in England

More than 200 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to about 1.5 billion Chinese yuan, how to spend it?

Arthur never thought about putting them in the bank to earn interest, because the U.S. dollar will become less and less valuable, and other currencies are also constantly depreciating.

Moreover, global inflation cannot escape, especially the balance sheet of the US Federal Reserve has grown from 800 million US dollars in September of the previous year to 2 trillion US dollars at the end of last year.It also secured 8 trillion U.S. dollars in debt, so the total is 10 trillion. If credit starts to circulate again, there will be great fear.

Undoubtedly, the Fed intends to use the next bubble to rescue the current bubble burst.

In other words, the financial crisis has not really passed, it just dragged an acute disease into a slow disease.With the Fed’s “opening the gates and releasing the water,” the real economy in the United States is a different story. For example, the bankruptcy of General Motors is the largest industrial corporate bankruptcy in the United States.According to the information provided by Arthur's subordinates, GM's bankruptcy will affect the closure of hundreds of upstream and downstream companies. One job in the automotive manufacturing industry can drive seven related fields...

On the one hand, the money supply is greatly increasing, and on the other hand, the manufacturing industry is declining. The inflation rate in the United States has begun to rise. It can be expected that the future will rise sharply. At this time, the only strategy the United States can implement is By reducing the pressure on their own debt through currency depreciation, the U.S. dollar will depreciate internally and externally at that time.

However, since the US dollar is still the world currency, the United States will pass its own problems to the people of the world. This is the nature of global inflation.

Of course, these conditions and predictions are no secret. People have already estimated that inflation will come, so they plan to prepare in advance to avoid inflation from causing harm to themselves.

However, people's measures to prevent inflation will themselves cause asset prices to rise.In other words, people's expectations of inflation will accelerate the arrival of inflation.In this case, asset prices will be pushed up across the board. In addition to buying stocks and buying houses, only gold is the safest investment.

However, Arthur, who no longer wants to accumulate too much money in gold, has invested almost 200 million U.S. dollars in the US stock market. As for real estate, hundreds of sets of purchases have been purchased, and the speed of the money is crazy.

Some people say that the ability to spend money depends on how broad the imagination is. Others say that having money can turn random thoughts into whimsical ideas, and it can also give reasonable reasons for everything that is unreasonable.

Spending a sum of money skillfully is as difficult as earning it.One's ability to spend money hides the wisdom he has seen.Living frugally, that can only be called survival. Those who can spend, save and earn money are those who really live well.

There are different opportunities for making money. In the matter of spending money, you can best see the basic qualities and mentality of a person. There are many people who will not spend money. The so-called "rich less than three generations" is this Makes sense.

Arthur has always believed that spending money is also a skill. Spend money where it is most worthwhile and where it will enhance personal value.

Only two hundred million US dollars is indeed a bit small.

However, the best cost point is high-quality assets. Arthur knows better than everyone how big the asset bubble will be blown in the future.

The next morning, Arthur leaned on the pillow, drinking morning tea prepared by the maid transferred from Los Angeles, and enjoying his English breakfast while reading the newspaper.

When he read the news in the New York newspaper that "Tracy McGrady will not return to the Knicks, the summer training will determine whether he will retire." It was like a lightning bolt that opened the curtain of his thinking.

"I'm so stupid. Since I want to have influence and great fame in the United States, why not buy a team? Just like the desert tyrants, the bear country tyrants, and the American vampires who invest in the Premier League, why not buy an NBA team to play? It's very cheap to play now..."

Arthur patted his forehead with some chagrin. If you want to quickly integrate into a strange country and quickly develop your own influence and network, the best way is to start with entertainment and competitive sports. In this regard, The local tyrant Abu is a typical example, not to mention the huge business opportunities hidden behind professional sports.

In my previous life, I was bragging with my friends. When I got rich, I bought the Los Angeles Lakers and let Kobe play with him.

It’s just the market value of the Los Angeles Lakers.

There is also a certain arrow with a little giant. However, Arthur knows better than everyone that the countdown to the little giant's stay in the NBA has entered, and more than 200 million US dollars can not be bought...

Now that he had a goal, Arthur didn't hesitate anymore, let alone procrastinate, and directly picked up the phone to arrange this new task for his men.

Find out the details of the NBA team transaction and investigate the current NBA team that has the intention of selling.

The boss moved his mouth and broke his leg.

It’s good to be a boss. No matter what you need, there are a group of people who will do their lives.

Soon, his subordinates sorted out the information he needed.

Looking at these information, Arthur was also a bit surprised. It turned out that he thought things would be very simple. As long as the money is in place, he can buy a team, just like the Premier League. Whatever the review is, just go through the field. However, things It's not that simple.

And in the NBA, it is not easy to sell a team. You cannot sell a team because you are in a bad mood.If a team owner submits an application to sell the team, then the remaining 29 team owners on the NBA board of directors composed of 30 team owners will require at least 22 people to vote for the team before the team can be sold.

As for the selection of new bosses, the NBA has a special financial committee to estimate the possible situation after the change of ownership. Only those bosses who are expected to bring benefits to the team's future development can buy NBA teams.

What's more speechless is that not everyone can become an NBA boss, it's not just a matter of money.The NBA needs to review the qualifications of the new owner of the team's buyer. If the review fails, it is useless to have money.

When Jerry Bus bought the Lakers, the league management believed that Buss was a son of Huahua, and it is difficult for such a person to run the team safely.The league deliberately refused to approve Buss to become the Lakers. It was not until Buss submitted a plan to develop the Lakers. His idea of ​​combining entertainment and sports touched the league's management, which passed the review.

In addition, if the new owner of the team wants to take the team to move the city, then sorry, it is likely to be opposed by the NBA board of directors.

Therefore, whether it is to sell or buy a team, it is not something that can be negotiated by sitting down and eating a meal. It takes a long period of investigation, negotiation, and qualification review to finally determine whether an NBA team changes ownership.

However, the only good news is that there are really a lot of teams interested in selling, giving Arthur a lot of choice.

I have to say that the current situation in the NBA can be regarded as a mess, and there was a crisis of cessation. Many bosses were afraid that the NBA would stop their investments and lose their money. So many bosses wanted to sell the team.

"Charlotte Hornets, quoted $275 million. Nets, quoted $200 million, Washington Wizards, quoted $310 million, Golden State Warriors, quoted $450 million, Detroit Pistons, quoted $235 million, Philadelphia 76 People, the price is 280 million U.S. dollars."
