Back To 1995: Chapter 815 Change course
In a few years, it is estimated that the surname of the Carnegie family will be searched in history textbooks. Apart from hearing some rumors, there will be no other traces.
In the future, besides the Bruno Family Foundation, Song Yang will also establish some trust funds to invest in some schools, charities, libraries, art exhibitions, football clubs, etc., but he must keep some dollars for the next generation , no matter what kind of bear the next generation is, they have to stay. At most, some conditions should be set to prevent them from being too prodigal.
Otherwise, if you really get something like Carnegie or Michael Jackson, the family members want to inherit the property, but they can't get it, and then it will be cheaper for outsiders such as managers and lawyers who manage the trust fund, then the gain outweighs the loss .
"Tomorrow, if you are interested, you can go to the Houston Rockets game. There are enough VIP seats for the Bruno family!"
Song Yang said to the members of the Bruno family in the room.
Before Camille, Ella and the others came to their senses, Gallo, who knew the inside story, said loudly, "I'm going to watch the Bruno family's own team game tomorrow. The Houston Rockets already have Bruno!"
After being stunned for a moment in the villa, there was another burst of noise. Now there are more than three teams, spanning football, rugby, and basketball. The position of the seat cannot be escaped, and tickets, star signatures and other things are naturally not a problem. These are one of the benefits of being a direct member of the Bruno family!
The deal for the Houston Rockets had started as early as Christmas last year. Adrian promised that he would resell the Houston Rockets to Song Yang.
It’s just that the Houston Rockets’ performance has been pretty good. They have won two NBA championships. Although the owner of the Rockets is synonymous with the NBA’s “poor” owner, he competes with the Spurs and other team owners for the title of the poorest club owner.
But Leslie Alexander, the owner of the Houston Rockets, did not make a fatal mistake. Although he was a bit stingy, it made it difficult for Adrian to start directly.
Adrian gave Leslie Alexander some hints through chief of staff Matthews, asking him to sell the team.
If Leslie is willing to cooperate, then everything is easy to talk about. Otherwise, Adrian, who is about to leave Houston, will still play tricks. Do you really think that Adrian will not use tricks.
If you really want to trouble people, Adrian has a lot of means, such as asking the Rockets to repair and build a new stadium, no longer giving the Rockets tax breaks, increasing taxes on team tickets, etc., there are some means to deal with him, if Lai Sley Alexander doesn't sell the team's word.
These methods are the most common and idiomatic methods. If Leslie is still unaware, there are other methods behind. Under Xiaozhi's emotional and reasonable reasoning, he was born as a stockbroker and has accumulated net worth by playing options and bond transactions. Leslie Alexander, who is famous, understands the importance of "timing" best. If you miss the opportunity, if you can't cut off your wrists, it means losing everything.
After getting the hint, Leslie Alexander, without thinking too much, took the initiative and submitted an application to trade the team to the Houston City Council.
The Houston City Council quickly passed Leslie's application, and "enthusiastically" helped the Rockets find a new owner.
Of course, as a reward for Leslie’s knowledge, he can’t be said to be at a disadvantage. The Rockets he bought for 85 million dollars a few years ago, basically doubled this time and it’s no problem to take them out. In addition, the Houston real estate management The department also handed over the development rights of two residences and a commercial building in Houston to the real estate company invested by Leslie, which was enough for him to make a fortune.
All of this was carried out without Song Yang's "knowledge", and there is no such thing as plundering. Any crooked media, including Leslie Alexander, dare to speak nonsense, and what awaits them is justice. The Iron Fist comes.
Of course, as the new buyer of the Rockets, Song Yang will also say something to Leslie Alexander. It is no problem for him to become a minority shareholder of Bruno Yankee Sports Company. It will become a good story in the sports industry...
Song Yang stood by the window. After opening the window, the air-conditioning hit, causing Song Yang to exhale a breath of stale air. He looked back at the noisy members of the Bruno family.
Old Bruno and Krista were surrounded by a large group of family members headed by Millia. The old Bruno and his wife didn't feel noisy at all, but smiled all over their faces.
Think back to a few years ago, when they went to the old Bruno’s farm for Christmas every Christmas, it was deserted. All the members of the Bruno family went their separate ways. Even if they came to Houston, they would not stay for long. He ran away in a hurry.
Now this kind of scene should never happen again. The old Bruno's farm has expanded by more than dozens of times, and the Bruno family is already the largest farmer in Houston.
In the previous farm, Song Yang built a large-scale farm manor for the old Bruno, with basically modern decoration inside, allowing all members of the Bruno family to live there.
Many Bruno family members have now moved to Houston and lived in the old Bruno's farm.
At this time, Greg came to Song Yang's side. Greg was still as stern as ever, but today he still had a little smile on his face.
"To the Bruno family!"
Song Yang and Greg had a glass of wine, and by the time the old Bruno and his wife handed out the Christmas presents, the whole villa was already full of noise.
NBA is one of the four major sports leagues in America. Every year, games are held at Christmas, and it is also taking advantage of the fact that there are no competitors to attract a wave of fans.
The Compaq Center, the home stadium of the Houston Rockets, is full of seats today. This season has been bumpy, but with the formation of the Big Three, Olajuwon, Drexler and Barkley, there are still countless fans. The team gave high hopes, although last year did not count on the...
Leslie Alexander came to the Compaq Center with his family. When Leslie appeared on the big screen, there was a lot of applause at the scene. Obviously, the fans brought this to the team history. The boss of two championships is still very welcome.
Waved to the audience, standing on the court, Leslie Alexander looked a little complicated, he likes to invest in sports teams, not only NBA teams, he also invested in WNBA teams and the Houston Thunder Bears of the Football League.
Relying on the team, Leslie's worth has also soared a lot, and with the team's popularity, his other industries are also in a good position, but all this will change from now on.
"I am very grateful to all the fans, as well as the team management, coaches, and players, for all the efforts they have made for the team and club in the past few years. I believe that the team will still be able to win the championship in the future. Never underestimate a championship. heart of…"
There was still applause at the beginning of the scene, but when I heard this, something was faintly wrong. Not only the fans, but also the team general manager, coaches, players, etc. were also a little confused at this time. They hadn't received any news beforehand, but Rice Leigh said, to give a speech before the game, they just thought it was Christmas congratulations or something, now listen, how is it like selling the team!
Adrian, who was talking with Song Yang in a VIP room, clapped his hands politely when he heard Leslie Alexander's speech, and then he didn't care.
For Adrian, this is nothing more than a trivial matter. Even NBA players can force the owner to sell the team. If he packs up those people, it is still easy to catch, it depends on whether Adrian is willing to move. hands and feet.
"Leslie is pretty good, we can cooperate more in the future!"
Adrian said to Song Yang, this is the only sentence for Leslie, but this sentence, for Leslie, will be regarded as "one of his own" in the future. After Adrian enters Texas, Leslie Seeley's real estate industry has basically been able to make a fortune all over Texas.
"Alexander, great speech!"
After Leslie Alexander entered the VIP room, Song Yang stretched out his hand towards him.
