Chapter 1324 Team(1/2)

"Dear, you are so nice!" Catherine clasped her hands and held her chin, looking like a little girl who had just received a Christmas gift.

Of course she did it on purpose, because she had already figured out Fu Song inside and out. As long as she didn't challenge his bottom line, even if she was a little too much, she would be "punished" by him at most.

Katherine not only did not disgust his "punishment", but instead felt it was wonderful and enjoyed it.

Fu Song had no choice but to say, "I don't object to the acquisition of Lianxin Bank, but you must first seek Kelly's opinion on this matter and get her approval."

"Ok!" Katherine agreed very happily, as long as he agreed to the acquisition, the rest were technical issues.

And she was very confident in persuading Carly because she knew that Carly was the same type of person as her, with ambition and no preference for mediocrity.

How can a company with such a large investment in Metasequoia have no banks?

Thinking of taking out a lot of money again, Fu Song sighed in his heart. I have really worked hard to pick up girls!

Last time, in order to make Xiao Zhumei happy, she gave her 500 million US dollars in one go. Although it was an ill-gotten fortune from oil futures, it was also real money. It would be impossible not to have much bleeding this time.

Although Catherine never said it, Fu Song could see that she had been secretly competing with Xiao Zhumei.

On the contrary, Catherine settled down a thought, was quite excited, and laughed before saying a word: "What did you talk to Walker and the others just now? So focus on and devote yourself."

Fu Song said: "Those people seem to be from the Texas sports circle. I heard that they intend to form an All-American professional football league. A guy asked me if I want to participate. You know, I am not very interested in football, so I politely declined."

In fact, he has liked football for more than 20 years, but the greater the so-called hope, the greater the disappointment. When the national football team brought him tons of damage again and again, he completely said goodbye to football.

Of course, although the World Cup and the Champions League are wonderful, once people lose hope and expectation, they cannot empathize.

What's the point of watching a football game as an outsider?

Catherine nodded and said, "Your caution is right. Football is the number one sport in South America and Europe, but it is not very popular in the United States."

The United States claims to have five major professional sports leagues, nfl (National Football League), mlb (MLB), nba (National Basketball League), nhl (National Hockey League) and mls (MLB).

But in fact, mls, which has not yet been established, are not recognized by Americans at all. Compared with the previous four professional sports leagues, mls is purely a little brother.

The most popular sports in the United States is rugby, followed by baseball, basketball, ice hockey, and whether football can rank fifth.

Fu Song smiled and said, "I just heard your Uncle Walker say that your father is also a shareholder of the Rangers Baseball team? Why haven't I heard you say it?"

Katherine shrugged and said, "My father is actually not interested in baseball. He rarely goes to baseball games. I am the same. Relatively speaking, we prefer basketball. As long as we have time, we will definitely go to watch an NBA game."

Fu Song asked in confusion: "Your father doesn't like baseball, why do you have to buy a share in a baseball team?"

Catherine looked up at Xiaobiao and said, "Walker lobbying to a group of people, including my father, to jointly invest in the purchase of the Rangers baseball team, it is hard to refuse."

Fu Song suddenly realized: "This is American-style collusion between officials and businessmen."

Catherine laughed and said, "That's right, but this is normal in the United States, there is no need to make a fuss. Walker was once a famous playboy in Texas, drunk and wandered around, especially likes married women. I hated him before.

However, his image has improved a lot in the past two years, and this is all due to the Rangers Baseball team. Through the Rangers Baseball Team platform, he has met countless political and business celebrities in Texas."

Fu Song also looked up at the gentleman Xiao Bu and said, "He has done a good job in this business, including money, hope and connections, and he can win three goals in one go."

Katherine curled her lips and said, "Where is the nature of a playboy so easy to change? Everything about Walker is packaged now. I heard that he plans to run for governor next year, so he is willing to make friends with anyone who can help him."

Fu Song smiled and said, "I have nothing but money. But I am quite optimistic about your Uncle Walker, who has the potential to be president."

"George Walker is the president?" Catherine stared at her big blue eyes, covering her mouth and laughed: "This is the biggest joke I have ever heard in my life. If he can be president, you can punish me anytime, anywhere in the future."

Fu Song said happily: "Remember what you said just now!"

I'm telling the truth, why don't you believe me?

However, if he hadn't known in advance, he wouldn't have thought that Xiao Bu, a playboy who was addicted to alcohol, would have reached the sky in one step.

Not to mention anything else, Xiao Bu is just a few thousand miles away from his father Lao Bu.

...

The Rangers Baseball team's home stadium is located in Arlington Stadium next to Dallas. Fu Song and Catherine are late again. They just entered the viewing box and before they can breathe well, the game started.

Catherine's face was flushing. Those who didn't know thought she was rushing, but only Fu Song knew what was going on.

He is still guilty and short of breath, his thighs are trembling slightly, and Catherine is even more unbearable, and her walking posture has changed.

There was no seat in the private room, and everyone gathered together to chat in groups. Except for not having a glass in their hands, it was similar to the atmosphere of last night's cocktail party.

Fu Song and Catherine were both interested in baseball. At least, Katherine could understand the game routines and rules, but Fu Song knew nothing. He only heard people around him cheering and high-fives from time to time, and had no idea what was going on.

So, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window for a while, both of them turned around and left tacitly.

Hess was also invited today, but after meeting him, Catherine just nodded and said hello.

The two of them walked around the private room, and suddenly someone shouted: "Catherine."

Katherine looked in the voice and said in surprise: "Uncle Thomas, why are you here?"

The old man named Thomas was obviously very familiar with Catherine. While hugging her, he smiled and said, "Haha, Catherine, why can't I be here?"

Katherine smiled and said, "As the owner of an NBA team, you shouldn't be on the scene of a baseball game."

Thomas's face suddenly became dim and he said angrily: "Anyway, my team has been eliminated, can't I find some other fun? Well, Catherine, why don't you introduce me to the gentleman around you?"

Katherine held Fu Song's arm and said, "Uncle Thomas, this is my boss, Mr. Fu, you can call him Glenn."

While shook hands with Fu Song, Thomas looked at him with a scrutiny: "Mr. Fu, although it is a bit rude to say this, I still can't help but say that Catherine is a very excellent girl, so I admire you very much."

As long as you are not blind, you can see the intimate relationship between Fu Song and Catherine. Because of this, Thomas was curious about what Catherine fell in love with?

Money? How is it possible!

The Andrew family is already rich enough. If they were not the boss of the NBA team, they would not be able to meet the Andrew family at all.

Fu Song glanced at Catherine and smiled, "Miss Catherine is indeed very outstanding, I admire her very much."

Although Thomas was puzzled, he couldn't say anything more. He left Fu Song and said to Catherine: "It's really exciting to hear that Mr. Andrew will soon become the chairman and CEO of Merrill Lynch Group."

Katherine shrugged, "I don't think this is a good thing, because it means he spends less time with his family."

Thomas laughed: "I agree with this. Over the years, I have devoted most of my time and energy to the team, and I have also ignored the feelings of my family. I am even so busy that I have forgotten my grandchildren's birthday. It's too unreasonable!"

Catherine was afraid of neglecting Fu Song and smiled and said, "Glenn, you don't know Uncle Thomas's team yet, right?"

Fu Song nodded and said, "I don't know, but I guess it should be the Dallas Mavericks."

Since Thomas appeared in Arlington, and next to Arlington is Dallas, there is only one NBA team in Dallas, the Dallas Mavericks.

"Ah, haha!" Thomas and Catherine couldn't help laughing.

Fu Song smiled and said, "It seems that I guessed wrong."

"Uncle Thomas is the owner of the Houston Rockets, and his team has achieved the best record this season."

Thomas said in a depressed mood: "It's a pity that he was finally eliminated."

Katherine asked, "Uncle Thomas, what are your plans for off-season?"

Thomas sighed and said, "Catherine, I am old and have been running the team for more than ten years. Now I am exhausted. You should know that a basketball team will be a heavy burden for a family, and they cannot take care of both, so I think I can have more time to spend with my family in the future."

Catherine said in disbelief: "Uncle Thomas, are you going to sell the team? This is really a pity!"

Thomas said: "This is just a preliminary idea, maybe no one is willing to take over."

Fu Song's heart moved. If you remember correctly, the Houston Rockets won two championships in a row after changing their bosses, and it will be next to the next two years!

Thinking of this, he said quietly: "Mr. Thomas, can you take the liberty to ask, if you decide to sell the team, how much does it cost?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Catherine turned her head and looked at him, her little heart couldn't help but jump.

What does he mean by asking this?

Is he going to buy the Houston Rockets?

This..., this is simply cool!

Thomas was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. He didn't think Fu Song would buy his team, but just thought he was on a whim, so he said: "In my opinion, if the Houston Rockets are less than $100 million, they will not consider selling it."

When he bought the Houston Rockets, he spent $9.8 million, so he just added a zero to the back and then made up the whole thing.

"One hundred million US dollars?" Although Fu Song felt that the price was a little expensive, it was not too expensive.

As long as you win a championship next year, the Houston Rockets' valuation can increase by at least tens of millions. After two championships, the valuation can at least double, so this investment is not a loss.

Fu Song turned to look at Catherine and said, "I remember hearing from you yesterday that you and your father like to watch NBA. Are you interested in managing an NBA team?"

"Yes! Of course there are!" Catherine's eyes were filled with little stars. If she hadn't been in public, she would have pounced on Fu Song and swallowed him alive!

Fu Song smiled slightly and said to Thomas: "Mr. Thomas, frankly, you are a little bit lion-like, but who made Miss Catherine like it? I think I can accept this price. I don't know what you think?"

Thomas opened his mouth incredibly, looked at Fu Song, and then at Catherine, not knowing whether to agree or refuse.

Seeing this, Katherine hurriedly said, "Uncle Thomas, you know me. I am a loyal fan of NBA. If you can give up, I will definitely not let your team down!"

Thomas smiled bitterly and said, "Catherine, I just said it casually, but I didn't expect you to take it seriously."

Fu Song asked: "Mr. Thomas, I wonder if you mean the sale of the team or the price of the team?"

"This..." Thomas hesitated for a moment and nodded, "The team price, if it were someone else, the price of $100 million is not outrageous."

In other words, there is still some negotiation on this price.

Fu Song smiled and said, "Mr. Thomas, I know what you are worried about. Please rest assured that I have enough ability to pay.

For God's sake, can't you help a little girl realize her dream of owning an NBA team?"
