Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

The next day, Zhang Xiao called Clark over and asked him to start buying shares in 20.00 companies, and each company must get at least [-]%, which is the bottom line.

Clark nodded secretly after seeing the names of these companies.

My boss' vision is still as vicious as ever.

For the next month, Zhang Xiao waved the draft notes in his hand and started shopping.

Before the financial crisis, he bought the trillion-dollar shares with RMB 200 billion. Without exception, they were all high-quality industries.

Zhang Xiao's big move attracted the attention of many people. Many big bosses contacted Zhang Xiao, hoping that he could buy their property, but most Zhang Xiao didn't like it.

"Hey, Mr. Lotter, how are you thinking?"

In a cafe, Zhang Xiao looked at the haggard owner of the NBA Knicks team and asked with a smile.

Before Zhang Xiao wanted to buy a team to play, but unfortunately no one was willing to make a move, even if he made a move, he would not sell it to him, a native of China.

But it's different now. Few people will buy a team under such a background.

Lott said: "15 billion US dollars, I won't sell it for a penny less."

Lott is in his 50s this year and is the president of a technology company with a market value of more than $200 billion.

This financial crisis directly caused Lotter's company's stock price to plummet by 70.00%, leaving only a pitiful 60 billion yuan in his assets. The key is that he still owes billions of dollars in loans to the bank.

There is really no other way, so he plans to sell the Knicks.

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "The original Knicks team is indeed worth 15 billion US dollars, but the record in the past two years is really bad."

"Mr. Lott, I am rich and I like NBA teams, but I am not being taken advantage of. At most one billion dollars, this is my bottom line."

"It's impossible." Lott stood up directly, and said in a very aura: "You have no sincerity at all."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Mr. Lotter, don't worry. There is an old saying in Huaguo, that is, there is no righteousness in buying and selling. What I want to tell you is that the owners of the Bucks, Jazz and Pacers are all ready to ship and search. I The Knicks aren't the only choice."

"The reason why I chose the Knicks is because I live here. I only give you one day to think about it. If you still disagree, then let's get together and break up."

Lott gritted his teeth and said, "I want to buy my team for a billion dollars. That's a dream."

Zhang Xiao took a sip of coffee lightly, said with a smile: "Don't be so absolute, what if you agree?"

"Dream!" Lott left angrily before turning around and leaving.

Zhang Xiao smiled slightly, picked up the phone and called Clark: "Clark, Lott didn't agree."

Clark said: "This old man is really stubborn. Unfortunately, he has already defaulted on the Citibank loan for half a month, and he has no leverage to bargain with us."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Then let Citigroup do you a favor and urge our Mr. Lott to pay back the money."

Clark said, "Understood."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiao took another sip of coffee and said, "Damn, when did I become so bad?"

That night, Lott called Zhang Xiao.

"Mr. Zhang, you won." Lott's voice was full of exhaustion, because Citibank gave him an ultimatum in the afternoon, and the sea must be wide tomorrow, otherwise they would sue Lott.

Once Lott is sued, his company's stock price will definitely plummet, because Lott has no choice at all.

Zhang Xiaodao: "Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, I will come to you with a check for one billion dollars and a contract to purchase shares. Mr. Lotter, you have made a very conscious decision."

Lotter snorted and said, "In my opinion, this is a very stupid decision."

After speaking, Lott hung up the phone directly.

Zhang Xiao shook his head and smiled, "Clark is right, this old man is really stubborn!"

the next day.

Zhang Xiao and Lott signed a contract, and since then Zhang Xiao has become the owner of the New York Knicks.

The news quickly spread throughout the Beacon Country.

"Oh my God, Zhang bought the Knicks."

"What a surprise."

"As a huge fan of the Knicks, I am looking forward to Zhang's actions in the summer."

"At the juncture of the financial crisis, Zhang bought the Knicks with a billion dollars, which is really a big deal."

"···"

For Zhang Xiao becoming the owner of the Knicks team, netizens are still very happy to see it come true. There is no way, who made him have countless fans in the lighthouse country?
If it were another Huaguo person, I am afraid that the netizens would not be so easy to talk about.

When the news spread across the country, Zhang Xiao's fans flocked to his Weibo.

"Congratulations to Xiao Shi for becoming the owner of an NBA team."

"Xiao Shen is simply too good."

"The Knicks will be our team from now on."

"In the second half of this year, as long as there is a Knicks game, I will definitely watch it."

"For the mid-year elective, I don't know if Yao Feng will have a chance to go to the Knicks."

"The Knicks didn't do well last year, so they have the first option. The key is whether they can get a good sign."

"I hope Dayao can go to the Knicks, Xiao Shen will definitely not treat him badly."

"I strongly implore God Xiao to go to Europe and buy a football team."

"Yes, yes, yes, NBA teams can buy it, and football teams should also be able to buy it."

"···"

After seeing the comments from netizens, Zhang Xiao immediately laughed.

In fact, he has long been a shareholder of Tottenham, owning 20.00% of the shares and ranking second on the board of directors, but soon he will be number one.

Because Zhang Xiao is discussing with other shareholders about buying shares in the Tottenham team.

You must know that the total valuation of Tottenham Club is only 4.3 million US dollars a day, and under the financial crisis, it has dropped to [-] million US dollars. This amount of money is really nothing to Zhang Xiao.

Sure enough, in less than three days, news came from the Tottenham team.

All shareholders, including major shareholder Harry, are willing to sell their shares at a total price of 4.5 million US dollars.

Zhang Xiao immediately flew to Europe and signed the contract. He posted a photo of himself at Tottenham on his Weibo, and wrote: "A few days ago, I saw a fan wanting me to buy a European football company. team."

"I've actually been working on this for a long time, and now it's all settled."

Netizens immediately exploded when they saw this Weibo.

"Shen Xiao is awesome, Ollie."

"Why do you like Xiao Shen, this is the reason."

"Xiao Shen is really awesome, if you say buy it, you will buy it."

"It's great that the famous Tottenham team is now named Zhang Li."

"Hua Guo Football Association, what are you waiting for, hurry up and contact Xiao Shen."

"The national team is now going to compete in the World Cup. Even if Xiao Shen bought Tottenham, it is impossible to switch back immediately."

"There are still three months before the opening of the World Cup. I hope we can achieve good results."

"The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Last year, I was able to make it out of the qualifiers, mainly because of the final penalty shootout, and luck accounted for most of it."

"My requirements are not high, just being able to enter the top sixteen will be fine."

"···"

In the past few years, Huaguo has produced several talented football players, including forward Wang Mi, center Chen Feng, and defender Bao Shuiyuan.

With their outstanding performance, the Huaguo football team entered the World Cup for the second time in history.

In August of this year, the World Cup will be played.

Now Hua Guo's football team has gone to the local training.

After buying the Tottenham team, Zhang Xiao called everyone for a meeting and said that no one would be laid off, which completely reassured the staff who had been worried about their future.

After staying overseas for a month and a half, Zhang Xiao received a call from Reba.

"Hey, brother-in-law, we are going to Vienna in two days, can you make it?"

"Romantic Travel" has been recorded for more than two months, and now it is the last issue, and the family needs to record with them.

Reba didn't have a partner, so he could only drag Zhang Xiao, his brother-in-law, over.

Zhang Xiao said: "Don't worry, I will be there tomorrow."

Reba said happily: "That's great."

Zhang Xiao asked, "What time is your flight?"

Reba replied to wait until: "Vienna time is two o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow."

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pick you up then."

That night, Zhang Xiao flew directly to Vienna, the music capital of the world, and checked into a five-star hotel.

The landscape trees in Vienna are very good. What Zhang Xiao likes most is the grass here. Many people like to play violin, cello and even piano on the grass. It is very lively.

Although the financial crisis that broke out in the lighthouse country has swept across Austria, Vienna does not seem to be affected.

After Zhang Xiao disguised himself, he walked around Vienna and bought some local high-end red wine. When the crew came over, everyone could drink together.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Xiao arrived at Vienna International Airport. After waiting for almost an hour, the crew of "Romantic Travel" came out.

Reba glanced at Zhang Xiao who had been dressed up, ran over directly, took his arm, and said, "Brother-in-law, long time no see, I seldom miss you."

Zhang Xiao wiped her head and said with a smile, "How did you recognize me?"

Reba said triumphantly: "Just say you turned into ashes, I know you."

Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, you are amazing."

Xie Xiaonan in the distance looked at Zhang Xiao carefully, and asked Wu Jin next to him, "Husband, take a look, is that Zhang Xiao? How has it changed?"

She knew that Reba's male guest this time was Zhang Xiao, and with Reba's personality, it was impossible for him to be so intimate with other men.

Wu Jin took a look and said, "It's him one hundred percent. This kid's make-up skills are amazing. He can easily transform himself into another look. Before the family of three traveled, it was because of his make-up skills. It was not recognized."

Zhang Ziyi said enviously, "This is amazing!"

Xie Xiaona said: "It would be great if we could also know this kind of makeup technique."

Wu Jin said: "I learned from him before, but unfortunately it's too difficult to handle."

At this time, Zhang Xiao came in front of the crowd and said with a smile: "I have met the others, Brother Zhilin, Brother Jie, Sister Yuan, hello."

The three hurriedly greeted Zhang Xiao.

Xie Xiaona pointed to her nose and said, "What about me?"

Zhang Xiaobai glanced at her and said, "Who are you, I don't know you."

Xie Xiaona became angry all of a sudden, and shouted: "Zhang Xiao, I'm going to kill you."

Zhang Xiao hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, you, the sun goddess, is here, can I not recognize you?"

Wu Jin said: "Well, stop talking nonsense with him, Zhang Xiao, where are you going to take us for dinner this afternoon?"

"I can tell you that Vienna is a place rich in red wine. There is no world-class red wine. We will not eat this meal."

Zhang Xiao asked: "What is the price of your so-called world's top red wine?"

Wu Jin thought for a while and said, "No matter what, it must cost more than five thousand euros!"

Zhang Xiao snapped his fingers and said: "That's no problem. I reported to the best western restaurant in Vienna and bought ten cases of red wine, four bottles per case. The price of each bottle is about 1 euros. , Mr. Wu, is your old man satisfied with my arrangement?"

Wu Jin waved his hand and said, "So-so!"

Zhang Xiao said: "Since you're not satisfied, then don't go. I'll send two hamburgers and a cup of Coke to the hotel where you're staying. You'll be fine if you think about it."

"Don't, don't, don't~" Wu Jin hurried over, put his arms around Zhang Xiao's shoulders, and said, "As far as our relationship is concerned, it's not appropriate for me to praise you. I said so-so mainly for the sake of modesty."

Zhang Xiao nodded and said: "Okay, Reba, this is your second sister, from now on he will call me my person."

"Pfft!"

"Hahaha!"

Talking and laughing, everyone got into the car.

On the way to the hotel, Xie Xiaona said, "Shen Xiao, you are too good. You even bought an NBA team and a European football team. How did you do it?"

Zhang Ziyi also echoed: "That's right, teams like the NBA and Tottenham are hard to buy even if you have money."

Zhang Xiaodao: "You guys are filming a program recently, and you don't seem to know much about the overseas situation. Let me put it this way, this financial crisis is much more serious than you imagined."

"Overnight, from being worth tens of billions to being heavily indebted, there will be eighty if not one hundred."

"Teams like the Knicks and Tottenham are now a burden to many rich people, because in such a big environment, it is impossible to rely on the team to make money."

"Both the major shareholders of the Knicks and Tottenham are facing enormous economic pressure and have to sell their properties. In the entire West, the richest people who are able and willing to spend nearly 20 billion US dollars to buy the team are almost equal to zero."

"So when I was waving the check to buy those two teams, naturally there was no problem."

Wang Feng praised: "Amazing."

Wu Jindao: "This year's NBA audition, Yao Feng will also participate. You have signed him. Huaguo has finally produced a strong center. It is more reassuring to go to your team."

Zhang Jie also said: "Yes, yes, Yao Feng is very good, almost invincible in the Asian basketball world."

Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "I really didn't see it. You are still basketball fans. Whether you can sign Yao Feng really depends on your luck. Fortunately, the Knicks didn't even make the playoffs last year. gave me a chance."

Wang Feng asked again: "What about football?"

Zhang Xiaodao: "I will definitely bring in Huaguo football players, and I will select players from the national team, but this will have to wait until after they have participated in the World Cup."

"I don't think they affected the World Cup because of this incident."

Wang Feng nodded and said, "You're right in thinking, hey, I don't know if Hua Guo Football can enter the top [-] this time!"

Bao Beier stretched out his arms and said, "It will definitely work."

Next, everyone chatted about football in Huaguo.

Except for Zhang Xiao, a fake fan, the others without exception are all real football fans, spitting stars flying around, chatting in full swing.

As for those female guests, the rules were silent for a while.

After arriving at the hotel, everyone checked in and rested for an afternoon. In the evening, all the female guests put on their evening gowns and went to Becker's Western Restaurant for dinner.

Originally, Zhang Xiao just wanted to treat everyone to a good meal before the official shooting.

Director Caiyue felt that it was a rare opportunity to book a restaurant, so she found Zhang Xiao and told him that she wanted to film this dinner.

Zhang Xiao naturally didn't care, so he agreed without hesitation.
