Back To 1995

   Chapter 229

  The two commentators of New York TV station teased to the audience in front of the TV that Song Yang is a baseball genius, they are not sure, but Song Yang is the richest one in the baseball industry, but no one doubts it.

   The two commentators made fun of Song Yang's worth. Even among the old American money group who treat baseball teams as toys, Song Yang's worth is already quite high today.

   "Bruno Song is indeed from the baseball industry, and the level of baseball is quite good!"

The two commentators didn't want to lose their jobs. Song Yang's baseball level was just that one ball. Even when the Dodgers released water, they could see a hammer. However, the two commentators still praised Song Yang and didn't let Song go. Yang's "genius baseball player" set has collapsed.

Not only the TV station in New York, but also the TV stations in Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago and other places that explained the game were merciful. They didn't dare to talk about Song Yang's baseball skills. As for the actual combat level, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom.

It's hard to say how good Song Yang's baseball is, but his net worth is like crazy. Today's Song Yang has reached the top of the list of America's 100 richest people.

   But no matter how much, the current Song Yang is the representative figure standing on the Internet.

   Such a person on America's 100 Richest List, who came to play ball for the MLB audience in person, was a rare sight for many years. What kind of bicycle would he need? !

After a few words, the commentary of the New York TV station suddenly broke the news, "I heard a piece of news before the game that the O'Malley family, which owns the Los Angeles Dodgers, is seeking to sell the Dodgers, as everyone knows, Bruno Song has always been very interested in baseball!"

   As soon as the news came out, it instantly attracted audiences from countless TV stations. The two commentators seemed to say nothing, but they seemed to say it.

  The O'Malley family is selling the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Song Yang happened to be in Los Angeles at the moment. Coupled with Song Yang's worth, people can't help but wonder if the Dodgers are going to change.

In the past few years, the Los Angeles Dodgers, once the giants of the MLB Baseball League, have not had a good life. Even the Houston Astros, who played against them today, have been repeatedly defeated. There are rumors that the O'Malley family sold the Dodgers. , not once or twice.

It is not surprising to hear the news again this time. On the contrary, many people believe it. After all, Song Yang's age is when he is very young and easy to be impulsive. For the so-called interest, he bought a A professional team is not impossible!

  New York TV station had to comment. After releasing the news, he started to comment on the game again, as if he didn't say what he said just now.

   At this time, such news was suddenly released. Naturally, this explanation could not be without a target. Someone must have instructed him to reveal the news that the Dodgers were going to sell, but Song Yang was involved incidentally.

   In fact, there is a consortium in New York that wants to move the Dodgers back to the former Brooklyn area of ​​New York, but the O'Malley family has some disagreements with New York, and they are very indifferent to buyers in New York.

   Even though the New York consortium actually made a higher bid than News Corp's Murdoch, the O'Malley family still flirted with Murdoch, which naturally made the New York consortium dissatisfied.

   Taking advantage of today's opportunity, he broke the news that the Dodgers were looking for a buyer, and dragged Song Yang in. In fact, it was to muddy the water.

   But at this moment, the news has begun to spread like the wind, and even the local sports channel in Los Angeles, after receiving the news, began to discuss the possibility of the Dodgers being sold.

On the court, Song Yang, who was about to leave the field, suddenly heard a burst of boos, and even the sound of "The Dodgers will never leave Los Angeles", which made Song Yang a little confused. He just came to advertise for Double Click Company. Provoked Dodgers fans.

Song Yang is a little dissatisfied with this lying gun. If he wants to buy a baseball team, Song Yang will only buy two teams, one is the Houston Astros baseball team, and the other is the New York Yankees. As for Los Angeles The Dodgers were not in Song Yang's consideration at all.

   "Song, there is some misunderstanding here!"

With the boos from the sky, who accompanied Song Yang today, Peter O'Malley, the current second-generation head of the Dodgers, the son of the old Walter O'Malley, and the current president of the Dodgers, looked at him embarrassedly. Song Yang said that at this time, it was revealed that he was going to sell the team.

Glancing at the fans around him, Song Yang could only sigh. Double-click listing is really a disaster. He was targeted at the time of listing. Seeing that it was going to be listed, Song Yang advertised for Double-click. Find someone to reason with.

   didn't stay on the court much. At midfield, Song Yang and Peter O'Malley each left the field. Song Yang didn't want to be booed again, and Peter O'Malley wanted to deal with the mess.

   However, Song Yang's departure did not prevent the media that fanned the flames. The rumors that Song Yang met with Peter O'Malley and wanted to buy the Dodgers were rumored.

   Even though Song Yang and the O'Malley family claimed that they had not discussed the acquisition of the Dodgers, no one believed it.

  If Song Yang and the O'Malley family are just a little depressed, then Murdoch, who is preparing to spend real money and buy the Dodgers to build his own sports empire, is really a bit of a motherfucker.

  The Los Angeles City Department received the news. Under the protests of the fans, some members directly came forward and said that they would never let the Dodgers leave Los Angeles, and directly asked the O'Malley family to suspend the sale of the Dodgers!

The lawmakers in Los Angeles don't care about the Dodgers. The Dodgers have lost miserably in the past two years. The Dodgers have been rated as "MLB's Least Profitable Team" by Forbes for two consecutive years. You can imagine how unprofitable it is. , It's really a loss, and the O'Malley family thought about selling it.

As a result, a group of local lawmakers in Los Angeles, in the face of the protests of the Dodgers fans, were naturally happy to be "good people" and directly terminated the sale of the Dodgers. These lawmakers need the votes and support of the fans. Willing to care, the O'Malley family is dead, it has nothing to do with them, as long as they can get the votes, they can also get their reputation.

Moreover, the next time the O'Malley family wants to sell the Dodgers, they must first ask the city councillors in Los Angeles to agree to sell it. This is not to pay a large sponsorship fee, and it must not be sold. .

The most uncomfortable thing is that Murdoch, who is about to reach an acquisition agreement with the O'Malley family, is invincible in the media industry.

  Murdoch wanted to buy Manchester United, but was directly rejected by the British government. He wanted to buy the French TV station, but he was also kicked out. Now he wants to buy the Dodgers, but he has been disturbed by others...

Song Yang didn't have time to pay attention to how the Dodgers and the O'Malley family, the Murdochs, and the News Corp. had to deal with each other. This time he came to Los Angeles, in addition to playing a wave of advertisements for the Double-Click Company, he also had to see someone.

  In a hotel in Los Angeles, Song Yang saw a tall, thin man with glasses coming.

"Carmack!" Song Yang stretched out his hand to the man. The person in front of him was John Carmack. The game industry is regarded by countless people as a godfather-level figure, the father of 3D games, the father of FPS, the **** of programmers, etc. , are the halo of Carmack.

   In this era of technology gurus and endless emergence, Carmack is definitely a top-ranked figure.

   However, Carmack is not very old. He is just 26 years old this year. He has just entered his peak period, but he is already a lot of programmers, eager and unreachable. In this era, there are indeed geniuses!

   "Song!"

  Carmack shook hands with Song Yang, but the genius programmer had a look of frustration on his face at this time.

   "I'm glad you can come, Carmack!" Song Yang asked the hotel staff to bring Carmack a cup of coffee and said to him.

  John Carmack looked at Song Yang in front of him, sighed, and asked Song Yang, "Why IdSoftware, if it's just for the "Quake" engine, I can license it to Xue Leshan!"

   After ICQ proposed an acquisition to Id Game Company, it directly disrupted the game company with great popularity in the past few years.

  Should you sell the Id game company, and let Carmack and several founders have a lot of quarrels. Id game company is not a team company, but more a product of a group of geniuses, each fighting alone.

Just like the "Thor's Hammer" engine, which was developed by Carmack alone, with the Quake's Hammer engine, there will be another founder to build levels, models, game bosses, etc. Several Id founders, Almost all of them are independent of each other, which makes the games produced by Id full of personality. Almost every level in the game has a different style, because the developers of each level are independent.

But in the past few years, when Carmack and several other founders began to have their own names, they all became big figures in the industry, and they all wanted to launch their own style games, coupled with Carmack's obsession with technology, and others The ideas of several founders have gone the opposite way.

   The entire Id game company is actually like a powder keg. Even if there is no Xuele Mountain, it will explode on its own in a short time.

  Carmack came to meet Song Yang on behalf of Id Game Company. In fact, Carmack did not want to sell Id Game Company, but the founders such as Romero wanted to start over or build their own business.

   "Because of you, ICQ's game business, as well as Snow Mountain, Blizzard, R-Star, Valve, and all small and medium-sized game makers, need you!" Song Yang pointed at Carmack and said.

   I still owe a chapter, I will make it up tomorrow, hum
