I am a nobleman in England

Chapter 482 I'm all out of the way, I'm going to start pretending to be thirteen!

To be honest, for most people in China, watching the NBA is entirely directed at Dayao. Although Dakongyi is also in the NBA, he is just a rotation player, so he doesn't pay much attention.

But without comparison, there would be no harm. Recall that in the post-Dayao era, Da Kongyi was already very strong. The only pity is that he was born in the same period as Dayao.

Arthur, who knows that Dayao will retire in a year, naturally knows the value of Da Kongyi, which will become the only bright spot for the Tianchao market.

Although Da Kongyi is a typical talent surpassing CBA and not reaching NBA.And there is really a Milky Way between cba and nba.But whoever makes him the only candidate to carry a market, even if he is used as a mascot, Arthur will not let him leave the Nets.

Without Dayao and Dakongyi, the NBA will be farther and farther away from the heavenly market.

"He is too introverted. He has been unable to integrate into the team. He cannot do the same as Yao. Many in the league like Yao because he is humorous and sincere. He has not adapted well to the intensity of the NBA. He has been suffering from illness. ..."

Speaking of Da Kongyi, Miles also talked about his specific knowledge. He worried that his boss had too much hope for Tian Chaoyi.

"No matter what the problem is, I believe it can be solved. Tianchaoyi will leave it to you. You can communicate with him and help him. I don't want to see him marginalized and run away without confidence. , Keep him." Arthur unquestionably ordered. In his understanding, his subordinate seems to have a very good set of things and can establish a very good friendship with the players.

"Okay, boss, I will communicate with him." Miles couldn't help but feel a little helpless in his heart. By the way, it seems that Tian Chaoyi's English is still very problematic.

"Boss, over there, are you..."

"I'll take a look in the afternoon and take a tour of my territory, hehe." Arthur said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Okay boss, then I will inform and let them prepare." Miles said with a smile.

"Yeah." Arthur did not refuse the other party's pleasing behavior. In his opinion, Miles' preparation is very necessary. As a boss, his subordinates have no awe, and he is definitely not a successful entrepreneur.

Talking about mingling with subordinates is all nonsense. Enterprises without the concept of subordinates are just a mob!

As the boss, Arthur, accompanied by Miles and his subordinates, began to patrol and understand his territory, visit various departments, understand the Nets affairs in detail, and listen to reports from his subordinates.

After a round of inspections, Arthur and Miles returned to the general manager’s office. They occupied the magpie’s nest and sat in the boss chair belonging to the general manager Miles. Arthur explained the most important thing to Miles. .

That is to acquire 20% of the remaining shares of the Nets and the other half of the newly-built Barclays Arena. Arthur wanted to own 100% of the Nets. He knew better than anyone that the NBA was a very successful one. In the business league, a few years later, the market value of each team will skyrocket many times, even ten times, which is crazy.

Naturally, Arthur didn’t want to spend a high price on the acquisition at that time. Taking advantage of the low price now, he got everything well early, so as not to have many nights and dreams. Besides, with other shareholders, there is no way for him to play freely. After all, there are some constraints. .

"Boss, if other shareholders refuse to sell shares..."

"Then tell them, let them prepare the money and inject capital into the Nets. The team will have no profit for the next ten years. I will dilute their shares a little bit and kick them out!"

Arthur knew that there was no more way for those shareholders who refused to sell their shares. He could only squeeze them away by diluting their shares. He sneered and continued: "Is it right now to sell the shares to make a lot of money, or to make additional investments? In the end, I saw that the shares in their hands were getting less and less? I gave them the way. How to choose depends on their own!"

"Understood, boss." For the first time, Miles felt the sharpness and decisiveness of the young boss, and finally understood that it was indeed not that simple for the young nobleman in front of him to achieve his current achievements.

"Okay, I'll leave the team to you. I won't bother about how to operate the team. I only have one requirement. Don't get too bad results and just embarrass me. I don't want to be the laughingstock of the world!" Arthur stood up from the boss chair, reached out and patted the back of the boss chair, looked at Miles with a slight smile and said.

"Thank you boss for your trust." Miles said with some excitement.

"Do it well, it's up to you!" Arthur walked to Miles and patted the shoulder lightly. After the encouragement, he stopped staying. After Miles respectfully sent him off, he left New Jersey. The Nets' office building.

Sitting in the car returning to Manhattan, Arthur looked at the scenery outside the window, narrowed his eyes, and began to consider his next plan.

His first wonderful debut has been completed perfectly. He can now be regarded as a big celebrity in New York and even the United States. Buying an NBA team can do this. For those who want to fully develop the United States For Arthur of the market, it is really good value for money.

Next is his second step plan to integrate into the upper class of the United States...

Although Arthur is an English earl and a noble noble, for the upper class in the United States, although he is a raptor, it is not so easy to integrate.

In New York, it is said that the police in New York are composed of people from more than one hundred countries.Speaking of small and extremely small, the central area of ​​Manhattan is a place where you can live mainly on foot.If you walk fast, you can cross in two hours and cross in 40 minutes.This small area is divided into upper city, middle city and lower city.

The Upper Town is a traditional wealthy area, guarding the Central Park. The Upper East Side is often the "old money" family. It is a pleasant environment and good schools, gathering the top 1% of New York’s wealth. It is jokingly called "the territory of super high-class whites."

If New York is the center of the world, then the Upper East Side is the center of New York. In this place famous for rich residential areas, high-end restaurants and luxury shops, the air is full of money.

The neighboring Upper West District lived similarly to them, but the group of people who became rich later expanded to the west only because the Upper East District gradually became full.Midtown is more of a commercial area and office buildings, and new fashionable areas have also appeared in recent years.Some areas in the lower city are more artistic and energetic, and are regarded as places where upstarts live.

Therefore, when someone in New York asks where you live, they are actually asking where you are in the pyramid. The place with the most distinct class is the place where the address is most important.

There is a saying in New York, "Except for the waterholes where thirsty animals grab water during the dry season in the Serengeti grasslands of Africa, the most dangerous place in the world, where you compete, blood flows, and dragons fight each other is Manhattan! "

Manhattan’s upper-class society is really suffocating. No one is not a pair of powerful and wealthy eyes. Your skin color, dress, and taste are criticized eight hundred times a day.

Starting from what you study, what major you study, and what movie you watch, the class template has been applied to everyone, and there should be no deviation in every link.

Here, the temperament piled up with money is just the nouveau riche. Even if they get the ticket to enter the upper class and rush in, they are also the objects of the old money families and the rich and ridiculous, even if their money is not as much as the nouveau riche. .

However, these Arthurs don’t have to worry. After all, he is also a representative of open life. The traditional British aristocracy, the earl title passed down for hundreds of years, has the purest and most noble lineage, and is a young and promising billionaire. Is a fairy-tale background.

Coupled with a tall and burly figure and a handsome face, they have long been the target of many people, and the focus of the Manhattan high society conference.

How can the American wealthy family with strong class and family concepts be more qualified to talk about the background and nobility with the pure British aristocracy like Arthur?

After all, if these veteran American wealthy families mixed up well in the UK, they would not have travelled far and wide to land in the wilds of America!

It’s time to start brushing various activities and party copies!

Back in his mansion, Arthur piled up all the invitations he had received during this period on the table, and opened the envelopes with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Christie's New York Classic Art Week" and "Sotheby's Art of the Times" two large-scale spring auction invitations, holding these two invitations, Arthur had to feel that the news of these auction houses was so well-informed and accurate Send the invitation letter to him without error.

Arthur knew that his address had long been a secret, and those who should have known it had already known it.

Continue to open those invitations, most of which are for art exhibitions, art fairs, and charity art receptions. Arthur was a little bit dumbfounded. The invitations placed on his table were simply an art feast.

However, this is exactly what Arthur needs now. He is to keep brushing these copies to get in touch with more American upper-class people and personally expand his upper-class connections in New York.

Art feasts are staged at every moment in the world. Top auction houses, art fairs, and exhibitions are always the most eye-catching. For people living on every side of the earth, they have no "time lag".In May, there is no doubt that global art enters New York.

Compared with the bidding between real money and silver on the auction floor, the art fair is more diverse, especially for a noble spectator like Arthur, which fits his thirteen patterns. , To show the nobility and elegance of the British aristocracy to these self-proclaimed upper-class turtles in the United States!

Get out of the way, I'm going to start playing thirteen!
