Rebirth of the Tech Madman

This is to give himself a rich toy, Tang Huan smiled, but there seemed to be some flickering elements in it.

There are four major professional sports leagues in North America. They are listed in order: the National American Football League nfl, founded in 1920, started cooperation in 1903, and was officially established in 1920, Major League Baseball mlb, founded in 1946. NBA, the National Hockey League nhl founded in 1917.

For a long time in the original time and space, in terms of overall profit comparison, in order, nfl, mlb and nba were the three most profitable sports leagues in the world.

Although the popularity of the National Hockey League in the southern United States is relatively limited, the market revenue brought by nfl is still higher than most other professional sports, only slightly behind the English Premier League, and is the fifth most profitable league in the world.

The benefits brought by the four major leagues are more than a hundred times that of other professional sports combined. At the same time, the four major leagues have also brought a great impact on culture. Usually, the famous players in the four major leagues will become people talk about it. The hot topic has even become some markers.

In his previous life, Yao Ming, who had achieved fame in the NBA, and the corresponding fame and fortune on the mainland side can illustrate this influence.

Sometimes its function is to moisturize things silently, just like the monastery abbots who pass on culture with open mouth and mouth are used, bowing from the upper class, as for the lower class, it is the Apple Watch that pays respect when it comes out of the rivers and lakes.

Tang Huan was not interested in nhl, it was too cold. Not much is known about mlb.

As for nfl. He has heard of the Super Bowl. After all, it was involved in a big scandal, that is, at the 38th Super Bowl in 2004, Janet Jackson exposed her right chest in front of hundreds of millions of spectators during the halftime performance of the Super Bowl, which caused a lot of controversy in the United States. In the end Jackson had to apologize, and Viacom, the parent company of CBS, which broadcast the game, also paid a huge fine for this.

Tang Huan is relatively familiar with NBA. "Magic" Irvine Johnson and "Big Bird" Larry Bird have already played for the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics in 1979, respectively. Since then, both black and white have created the glory of the NBA in the 1980s. The Los Angeles Lakers have entered the Finals 9 times and won the championship 5 times. The Boston Celtics have reached the Finals 5 times and won the championship 3 times.

And this monopoly pattern has now quietly begun to take shape and cannot be shaken.

Regal Jerry Buss, Jerry Buss, from another rich man in 1979, spent 67.5 million US dollars, packaged to buy the NBA's Los Angeles Kings, NBA's Los Angeles Lakers and other teams. It's like a big posture.

In fact, the same is true, Bruce Lee's apprentice. "Sky hook" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, has already come to the Lakers in 1975, just and still rookie Johnson, teamed up to win this year's NBA championship.

In more than ten years from now, the Lakers will enter the Finals nine times. Now Wilson is lobbying to buy a team to make a toy. Isn't that waiting to be trampled on.

He once mentioned with Hawkins that if the gold-sucking monster ea has the energy, he would buy an NBA team, but from the beginning it was not limited to a local team. After all, the influence of himself and the company cannot be limited to San Francisco and California.

However, the naming rights can be agreed directly. In the original time and space, the commercial operation of the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium was sometimes involved with Silicon Valley companies. The indoor stadium of the Oakland-Alameda County Arena, the home stadium of the Golden State Warriors, was once The title is the Oracle Stadium. The stadium built in San Jose in the 1990s has also experienced the naming era of Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, and SAP. Even Sybase has invested in the San Jose Sharks, an ice hockey team of nhl. , Sap titled the tennis open.

Tang Huan, who quickly calculated the gains and losses, rubbed his eyebrows, "Mr. Mayor, since the stadiums are poorly maintained due to funding problems, then I will let ea company talk to you about naming rights. In fact, this fundraiser The idea seems pretty good. The management department can fully conduct public bidding operations. Why bother with your hard work and lobbying."

"Under the combined effect of various reasons, this idea can only stay at the level of discussion. Otherwise, it will not wait until the stadium has been put into use for almost 15 years, and the drawbacks are becoming more obvious." Wilson shook his head with a wry smile, and asked tentatively. Said: "Tang, you seem to like sports very much. You really don't plan to buy a team."

"Mr. Mayor is so enthusiastic, there must be some consideration, so I might as well say it directly." Tang Huan patiently stared at the other party.

"Well, that's all." Wilson coughed slightly. "The Oakland Raiders are determined to move the team to Los Angeles. You should know that this move will definitely affect the already sluggish economy. The situation has had a certain degree of negative impact, and the Oakland Raiders were established in Oakland when the team was first established. The officials have worked hard. Now how can they leave as they want and abandon the local fans."

Wilson was obviously annoyed by this, and spoke about the cause and effect in a dissatisfied tone.

Nfl has two major federations: the National American Football Federation and the American Football Federation. Before the merger in 1970, the two were named nfl and afl respectively. That is to say, in fact, the nfl annexed afl and then formed separately. with.

In 1961, the owner of the Minnesota Vikings accepted the NFL's invitation and joined the NFL from AFL, which freed up a team spot.

At that time, Oakland had almost no conditions to establish a professional football team. There were no stadiums for games. The nearest stadiums were in Berkeley and San Francisco. At the same time, the San Francisco Bay Area already has a team of the San Francisco 49ers that has a firm foothold in the NFL.

but. The owner of the Los Angeles Electro-Optics team threatened. If there is no second team on the west coast, he will withdraw from the league, so the owner of afl has no choice but to choose Oakland.

Therefore, Oakland picked up a bargain and officially became the eighth member of AFL in 1960, and got the draft pick.

As Wilson said, with membership, the leaders of Oakland began to actively seek out some business people. To help invest in building a new team.

Finally, led by the real estate agent, a joint-stock institution Oakland Raiders was established, and it also included several limited partners such as f.waynevalley.

Because Oakland does not have its own stadium, the team chose the "Kezar Stadium" in San Francisco as their home stadium. As a result, the results of the first season were not satisfactory. There were less than 10,000 spectators and a loss of 500,000 US dollars.

Seeing that the situation is not good, he gave up his partner status. The head ran away. Seeing that the gang is about to break up. Valley came forward with a loan of $400,000. And bought the remaining shares and became the largest shareholder.

Valley threatened Oakland. If no more stadium was built, he would move the Oakland Raiders to another place.

After the 1962 season, Valley hired the assistant coach of the San Diego Electro-Optics team as head coach and team manager. He was only 33 years old at the time and became the youngest person in the history of professional football to get these two positions. Oakland Raided The results of the Zergs team also began to improve.

In 1966, he spent $18,000 to purchase 10% of the team's shares and became the third largest shareholder and operating boss.

As a result, in 1972, taking advantage of Valley's participation in the Munich Olympics and leaving for a few weeks, the partner contract was changed to give him complete control of the team's operations. Became a supporter, signed this contract, and jointly kicked Valley out of the management team.

As the so-called one handsome cover one hundred ugly, under the control of the Oakland Raiders won their first Super Bowl in 1977.

Of course, he hoped that his wallet could increase with the results. He asked Oakland to expand the stadium, especially the luxury boxes, but did not do so, so he began to plan to move to Los Angeles, which has a better market prospect.

This has obviously caused dissatisfaction from the Oakland officials. You moved the team and we worked so hard to build it. What should we do about the stadium that has been used for more than ten years? You, an outsider from Nestling Dove’s Nest, for your own sake. Interests have never been considered from the perspective of Oakland.

"Currently, he is the largest shareholder of the team, holding about 25% of the shares. With your strength, there is no problem in winning this team." Wilson stared at Tang Huan with scorching eyes, "Other shareholders, I can Help contact."

I wiped it, just one team, it was so intriguing, Tang Huan cocked Erlang's legs and said nothing.

Speaking truthfully ~www.readwn.com~ Relying on the mature business operation mechanism of the United States, the teams of the four major professional leagues are indeed very valuable for investment, and social prestige is just a natural gift.

"Tang, your intervention, Oakland fans will only love to hear and no one will gossip." Wilson continued to lobby, "Oakland will also give every convenience as much as possible after you join the home team."

Seeing that Tang Huan was still hesitating and did not speak, Wilson simply revealed his details, "Tang, my term of office is about to come, and I still want to fight for re-election. If this matter is done, I will undoubtedly receive greater support. rate."

"Well, Mr. Mayor, I can try." Tang Huan can't help but express his opinion, "I'm really busy lately, I want to go to Europe. In this way, let me My business partner, Shennong Fund and Mikhail Kogan, director of ea, will take care of this matter."

Hearing this response, the dry-speech old Wilson took a sigh of relief and took a few sips in disregard of the image. (To be continued...)
