The lawyer handed the document to Andy. Andy's curved mouth was more obvious. He took the pen and began to sign one document after another, which was put in front of him like a delicious Western food. After signing, he changed another one. After a few moments, it was finally finished.
"Congratulations, Andy! It belongs to you! " Alexander stood up and looked at the tall young man in front of him. At last, he reached out his hand a little hoarse and said.
Andy smiled and shook it with him. He raised his hand and extended it to the back. The little assistant's white face was red with excitement. He put a check in the devil's hand. Andy narrowed his eyes and handed it to him. "It belongs to you, too!"
"It's worth the price, isn't it? And it's not high. " All of Alexandria's frustration was swept away by the appearance of this check.
"Three hundred and sixty million dollars to buy, in this period, this is not the general price." Andy looked at him and said that even if his heart was already in full bloom, he tried his best to show restraint.
He knows better than anyone what the NBA team's value will increase to in the future. The devaluation of the US dollar and the scarcity of high-quality assets have brought about a sharp increase in value. Think of the boss of the dying clippers who was forced out of the league and was able to sell US $2 billion. It's like lying down.
"I hope the Rockets can be better in your hands!" Said Alexander, with a light breath, and a trace of indifference on his old face.
"Yes, you know, Texas is my hometown. I naturally hope that my hometown team will become better or become a dynasty." Andy said with a smile.
"I'll see. As a loyal rocket fan Alexander doesn't care whether Andy talks about it or not. He still knows about Andy's original intention to buy the Rockets. The Smith family is based in Texas. The political family of more than 100 years also needs to publicize and increase the influence of the new era.
After the two people exchanged greetings and released their clasped hands, others in the conference room clapped under Granada's guidance. Andy turned around and looked around with a confident smile, nodding slightly.
Alexander, the former boss, left the conference room without stopping, with his lawyer and bodyguard. Old man Jing, the rocket now belongs to this young man. When the new king ascended the throne, he needed to accept the visits of the new and old subordinates. He left with great interest.
Andy goes to the main seat at the top of the conference table, pats his hand on the top of the chair back of the boss's chair, sits down with a smile, reaches out and makes a gesture of pressing down, and says, "sit down."
When they were seated in all sorts of moods, Andy looked at Bob Myers, who was not separated by several seats, and said, "Bob, please call coach Don Nelson."
"All right, boss." Bob didn't feel any trouble because of his boss's instruction. Instead, he was happy. In the workplace, it was definitely a kind of trust.
In the space of waiting, Andy looks at the management of every original rocket team sitting here, and finally his eyes fall on Daryl Morey's face. He can see clearly that Morey, the general manager, is not really calm. After all, his reputation is beyond Andy Smith's, and firing people has never been merciless and directly. Only when he doesn't worry about it can he have a ghost.
But Andy didn't really plan to fire the Morey, the data expert. In addition to being criticized in the player's operation, he did a good job in all other aspects, making the Rockets earn more than 100 million dollars every year, which is absolutely a great thing for other teams with heavy debts.
And the most important reason why Andy doesn't fire him is that Morey has only been in office for half a year and just straightened out the team. His only backstage before is the boss Alexander. Now, Morey, who has no roots and no Ping, can easily be subdued by him.
Soon Bob came in with the crazy scientist, old Nelson. Andy stood up with a smile and shook hands with each other. After a few words, he reached out to sign each other to sit in the fourth empty position on the right side.
"The first thing is to hold a celebration party at JW Marriott Hotel tonight. Don't miss your appointment at that time. By the way, I almost forgot. I know what you are worried about. I don't have any dissatisfaction with the management of the Rockets, so no one is fired. You can rest assured."
Andy smiles and looks around for a week. His voice falls. Although he doesn't see the obvious expression of relief and the sound of relaxation, the tense atmosphere in the meeting room has disappeared.
"The second thing, Morey, this is Bob Morse. You should be familiar with him. He will be the operation director of the Rockets. The first thing you need to do next is to let all the team doctors of the Rockets get rid of me. Doesn't it mean that the team doctors of the Suns have a high medical level? Bob, dig it for me! Houston is a medical center in the United States, but the level of team doctors has been criticized. I can't tolerate this. Morey, you are going to start to prepare a medical team composed of sports medical experts. I think it's no problem for you? "
Morey's tense nerves have relaxed, and his excellent brain has returned to work. He replied without hesitation, "no problem!"
Andy was very satisfied with Morey's attitude, smiled and nodded, "don't worry about the money. I once said that I'm not good at running a team, but making money is my best thing. Like other teams I own, the Rockets will invest 100 million dollars."At the end of the speech, I don't know who started to clap excitedly. Then everyone in the conference room began to clap excitedly. Andy's smile was more brilliant. He looked at the first clapping Bob miles with appreciative eyes and slightly nodded at him.
"Don Nelson, our crazy scientist, I believe no one doesn't know him. He's our new head coach. He'll bother the coach a lot in the future." After that, Andy took the lead in clapping. Applause broke out again in the conference room. There was the qualification of Don Nielsen. Although he didn't win the championship ring, who could despise the coach who changed the rules of the league.
The next step is the appointment of the director of the finance department, but before that, his think tank had already sent financial personnel to the Finance Department of the Rockets, so it was just a passing experience.
Most of the positions are still the original ones. After all, rocket's team management team is still good. It is also ranked fifth in the league. If not necessary, it is better to make a smooth transition.
At the end of the meeting, Andy sat on the boss's chair in the team's boss's office, looked at the important members of the rocket team sitting in front of him, smiled and said, "Molly, what do you think about buying the entire Toyota Center Stadium?"
"Hiss --"
all of you, in addition to Granada, who personally buys all kinds of teams, such as Morey, Bob kels and coach Nelson, have the feeling of seeing the real rich. NIMA, that's the rich. He wants to become his own. It's not bad money.
"If the boss thinks about it, it's not hard. We have 21% of the shares in the rocket. The other shares are in the hands of the municipal government. The key is the price. Moreover, Toyota spent 100 million US dollars on the permanent title at that time. This part of money will be a problem when it is purchased. The municipal government may not be willing to let go." Morey is very excited. After all, this is a venue that has been built for only four years, and its value is still great.
"What was the cost of the stadium then?"
"With $235 million, we have paid more than 40 million for free use for 10 years."
Andy nodded, looked at Granada and said, "this is up to you. Our sports investment company can't even have a venue. It's hard for the city government to spit out Toyota's $100 million naming fee. That's to suppress the price."
"I understand." Granada nodded.
"Coach, let me be frank. I want to be a champion. I don't care about luxury tax. I want to be good-looking. I want to be a champion. I want the Rockets to be full. I want to be an All-Star. What player do you need?"
old Nelson has black lines on his forehead. His mouth is full of tears. He feels a lot of shame. General manager Morey, who turns his head and laughs bitterly, and new team operation director Bob Myers Eyes meet.
