I Am a Nobleman in England

To be honest, for most people in Tianchao, watching the NBA is all about Dayao. Although Dakongyi is also in the NBA, he is only a rotation player, so he doesn't pay much attention.

But if there is no comparison, there will be no harm. In the post-Dayao era, if you think back to Dakongyi at this time, it is already very powerful. The only pity is that it was born in the same period as Dayao.

Knowing that Dayao will retire in one year, Arthur naturally knows the value of Dakongyi, which will become the only bright spot for the Tianchao market.

Although Dakongyi is a typical example of talent surpassing cba but not reaching nba. And there is really a Milky Way between the cba and nba. But who made him the only person who could bear a market, even if he was regarded as a mascot, Arthur would not let him leave the Nets.

Without Dayao and Dakongyi, the NBA will be farther and farther away from the Chinese market.

"He's too introverted, he hasn't been able to integrate into the team, he can't do the same thing as Yao, a lot of people in the league like Yao because he's humorous, sincere, doesn't adapt well to the intensity of the NBA, and has been plagued by illnesses ..."

Speaking of Dakongyi, Myers also shared his specific knowledge of the situation. He was worried that his boss had too much hope for Tianchaoyi.

"No matter what the problem is, I believe it can be solved. Tianchaoyi will leave it to you. Go and have a good communication with him and help him. I don't want to see him being marginalized and then fleeing without confidence. , keep him." Arthur ordered without a doubt, from his understanding, this subordinate of his seems to be very well-versed, able to establish a very good friendship with the players.

"Okay, boss, I will have a good communication with him." Miles couldn't help but feel a little helpless in his heart. By the way, it seems that Tianchaoyi's English is still very problematic.

"Boss, on the team side, are you..."

"I'll take a look in the afternoon and inspect my territory, hehe." Arthur said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Okay boss, then I will inform them and let them prepare." Miles said with a smile.

"Hmm." Arthur didn't reject the other party's flattering behavior. In his opinion, Miles' preparation was very necessary. As a boss, if his subordinates didn't have a sense of awe, he definitely wasn't a successful entrepreneur.

It's all nonsense to talk about getting along with subordinates. A company without the concept of superiors and subordinates is just a bunch of mobs!

As the boss, Arthur, accompanied by Miles and his subordinates, began to inspect his territory,

The visits of various departments, the understanding of the affairs of the Nets in detail, and the reports of the subordinates.

After patrolling around, Arthur and Miles returned to the general manager's office, occupied the magpie's nest, and sat on the boss chair belonging to the general manager Miles. Arthur explained the most important thing to Miles .

That is to acquire 20% of the shares of the Nets that remain outside and the other half of the shares of the new arena Barclays Arena. Arthur wants to own 100% of the Nets. He knows better than anyone that the NBA is a very successful In the commercial league, after a few years, the market value of each team will skyrocket many times, even ten times, which can be called crazy.

Arthur naturally didn't expect to pay a high price for the acquisition. Taking advantage of the low price now, it's better to get all of them early, so as not to have long nights and dreams. Besides, with other shareholders, there is no way for him to play freely. After all, there are some constraints .

"Boss, if other shareholders refuse to sell shares..."

"Then tell them, let them prepare money and inject capital into the Nets. The team will have no profits to share in the next ten years. I will dilute their shares little by little and kick them out!"

Arthur knew that there was no other way for those shareholders who were unwilling to sell their shares. The only way to squeeze them out was by diluting their shares. , and finally saw that the shares in their hands are getting less and less? I gave them the road, and how to choose is all up to them!"

"Understood, boss." Miles felt the sharp edge and decisiveness of the young boss for the first time, and finally understood that it was not that simple for the young nobleman in front of him to achieve his current achievements.

"Okay, I'll leave the team to you. I won't ask how to run the team. I only have one requirement. The results should not be too bad. Just let me lose face. I don't want to be the laughing stock of the whole world!" Arthur stood up from the boss chair, reached out and patted the back of the boss chair, looked at Miles with a faint smile and said.

"Thank you, boss, for your trust." Miles said a little excitedly.

"Do it well, it's up to you!" Arthur walked to Miles, patted his shoulder lightly, and after encouraging him, he stopped staying and left New Jersey with Miles respectfully sending him off. Nets office building.

Sitting in the car back to Manhattan, Arthur looked at the scenery outside the window, narrowed his eyes slightly, and began to think about his next plan.

His first wonderful debut has been perfectly completed. Now he can be regarded as a big celebrity in New York and even in the United States. He can do this by buying an NBA team. For those who want to develop the United States with all their strength For Arthur in the market, it is really worth the money.

Next, is the second step of his plan to integrate into the upper class of the United States. . .

Although Arthur is an Earl of England, a nobleman of noble blood, but for the upper class of the United States, although he is a raptor, it is not so easy to integrate into it.

New York, to say the least, it is said that even the police in New York are composed of people from more than one hundred countries. Small and tiny, Midtown Manhattan is a place where you can live mostly on foot. If you walk fast, you can run through it in two hours and cross it in 40 minutes. This small area is divided into upper city, middle city and lower city.

Uptown is a traditional wealthy area, guarding Central Park. The Upper East Side is often lived by "old money" families. The environment here is pleasant, there are many good schools, and the top 1% of New York's wealth gathers. It is nicknamed "the territory of super high-level white people".

If New York is the center of the world, then the Upper East Side is the center of New York. In this place known for its rich residential areas, high-end restaurants and luxury stores, the air is full of money.

In the adjacent Upper West Side, a group of people who lived similarly to them, but got rich later, expanded to the west only because the Upper East Side gradually became full. Midtown is mostly a business district and office buildings, and new trendy areas have emerged in recent years. Some parts of the downtown area are more artistic and lively, which can be regarded as places where the upstarts live.

Therefore, when someone asks where you live in New York, they are actually asking where you are in the pyramid. The place with the most distinct classes is the place where the most important address is.

There is a saying in New York, "Except for the waterholes where thirsty animals grab water during the dry season in the Serengeti grasslands in Africa, the most dangerous place in the world where you fight each other, blood flows into rivers, and dragons fight with each other is Manhattan! "

And the upper class in Manhattan is really suffocating. Everyone is a pair of powerful and wealthy eyes. Your skin color, clothing, and taste are picked on eight hundred times a day.

Starting from what you study, what major you study, and what movies you watch, the template of class has been set on everyone, and there must be no deviation in every link.

Here, the temperament piled up with money is just a nouveau riche. Even if you get the ticket to enter the upper class and rush in, you are still the target of the fools and ridicules of those old money families and wealthy families, even if their money is not as much as the nouveau riche .

However, these Arthurs don’t need to worry, after all, he is also a representative of the life of cheating, the traditional British nobleman, the earl title passed down for hundreds of years, has the purest and noblest noble lineage, and is a young and promising billionaire. It's a fairytale origin.

Coupled with his tall and burly figure and handsome and tough face, he has long been the target of many people, and the focus of discussion among Manhattan's upper class.

How can a rich American family with a strong sense of class and family status be more qualified to talk about heritage and nobility than a pure British aristocrat like Arthur?

After all, if these old rich American families had done well in the UK, they would not have traveled thousands of miles to land in the wild land of America!

It's time to start swiping copies of various events and parties!

Back in his mansion, Arthur piled up all the invitations he had received during this period on the table, and began to open them one by one with a smile on his lips.

"Christie's New York Classic Art Week" and "Sotheby's Blooming Times Art" invitations to two large-scale spring auctions. With these two invitations, Arthur had to feel that these auction houses were so well-informed and accurate. Send the invitation letter to him without fail.

Arthur knew from there that his address was no secret, and those who should know it already knew it.

Continue to open those invitations, most of which are for art exhibitions, art fairs, and charity art receptions. Arthur is a little bit dumbfounded when he sees them. The invitations on his table are simply an art feast.

However, this is exactly what Arthur needs now, he just wants to keep brushing these dungeons to get in touch with more upper-class people in the United States, and personally expand his network in the upper-class New York.

Art feasts are staged all over the world. Top auction houses, art fairs, and exhibitions are always the most eye-catching. For people living at every end of the world, they have no "time difference". In May, there is no doubt that global art enters New York time.

Compared with the auction between real money and silver on the bright side of the auction house, the art fair is more diverse, especially for a noble spectator like Arthur, it is more suitable for his thirteen styles , to show the nobility and elegance of the British aristocrats to these self-proclaimed upper-class soil turtles in the United States!

Get out of the way, I'm going to pretend to be thirteen!
