I Am a Nobleman in England

More than 200 million US dollars, equivalent to about 1.5 billion Chinese currency, how to spend it?

Arthur never thought of putting them in the bank to generate interest, because the dollar would become less and less valuable, and other currencies were also depreciating.

And global inflation cannot escape, especially the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve of the United States has increased from 800 million US dollars in September of the previous year to 2 trillion US dollars at the end of last year. And there's $8 trillion in debt guaranteed, so the total is $10 trillion, and if credit starts flowing again, there's going to be a lot of fear.

There is no doubt that the Fed intends to save the current bubble from bursting with the next bubble.

In other words, the financial crisis has not really passed, it just dragged an acute disease into a chronic disease. With the Federal Reserve's "opening the floodgates", the real economy in the United States is another scene. For example, the bankruptcy of General Motors is the largest bankruptcy event of an industrial company in the United States. According to the information provided by Arthur's subordinates, GM's bankruptcy will lead to the closure of hundreds of upstream and downstream companies, and one job in the automobile manufacturing industry can drive seven jobs in related fields. . .

On the one hand, the money supply has increased significantly, and on the other hand, the manufacturing industry has continued to decline, and the inflation rate in the United States has begun to rise. It is foreseeable that it will rise sharply in the future. At this time, the only strategy that the United States can implement is Through currency depreciation to reduce their own debt pressure, the U.S. dollar at that time will depreciate both internally and externally.

However, since the US dollar is still the world currency, the United States will pass its own problems on to the people of the world, which is the nature of global inflation.

Of course, these situations and forecasts are no secret. People have already estimated that inflation will come, so they plan to prepare in advance to avoid inflation causing damage to themselves.

However, people's measures to prevent inflation will themselves cause asset prices to rise. In other words, people's expectations of inflation itself will accelerate the arrival of inflation. In this case, asset prices will be pushed up across the board. Apart from buying stocks and houses, only gold is the safest investment.

However, Arthur, who no longer wants to accumulate too much money in gold, has invested almost 200 million U.S. dollars in the US stock market. As for real estate, he has purchased hundreds of houses, and the speed of throwing money is crazy.

Some people say that the ability to spend money depends on how broad the imagination is. Others say that having money can turn random thoughts into whimsical ideas, and can also give reasonable reasons to all the unreasonable things.

Spending a sum smartly is as difficult as earning it. A man's ability to spend money hides the wisdom he has seen. Live frugally, that can only be called survival, people who can spend money, save money, and earn money are the ones who really live a good life.

Everyone has their own opportunities to make money.

In the matter of spending money, the basic quality and mentality of a person can be seen the most. There are many people who will not spend money after earning it. This is the reason why the so-called "wealth is not as good as three generations".

Arthur has always believed that being able to spend money is also a skill, and money should be spent where it is most worthwhile and where it will enhance personal value.

It's just that 200 million US dollars is indeed a bit small.

However, the best place to spend is on high-quality assets. Arthur knows better than anyone how big the asset bubble will be inflated in the future.

The next morning, Arthur leaned on the pillow, drank the morning tea prepared by the maid transferred from Los Angeles, and read the newspaper while enjoying his English breakfast.

When he saw the news that "McGrady will not return to the Knicks, the summer training will determine whether he will retire" from a New York newspaper, it was like a lightning bolt that opened the sky of his thinking.

"I'm really stupid. Since I want to have influence and great fame in the United States, why don't I buy a team, like the desert tyrants, bear country tyrants, and American vampires who invest in the Premier League? Why don't I buy an NBA team to play?" Playing, it's very cheap now..."

Arthur patted his forehead with some annoyance. If you want to quickly integrate into a strange country and quickly develop your own influence and network, the best way is to start with entertainment and competitive sports. In this regard, That local tyrant Abramovich is the most typical example, not to mention the huge business opportunities behind professional sports.

In my previous life, I bragged with my friends that when I got rich, I would buy the Los Angeles Lakers and let Kobe play with me.

It's just that the market value of the Los Angeles Lakers is really deceitful.

There is also a certain arrow that owns the little giant. However, Arthur knows better than anyone that the days of the little giant's stay in the nba have entered the countdown, and more than 200 million dollars can't be bought. . .

Now that he had a goal, Arthur no longer hesitated, let alone procrastinated, and directly picked up the phone to arrange this new task for his subordinates.

Find out the details of nba team transactions and investigate current nba teams that are looking to sell.

The boss moved his mouth, and his subordinates broke their legs.

Being the boss is good, no matter what you need, there are a group of people who will work hard for you.

Soon, his subordinates sorted out the information he needed.

Looking at these materials, Arthur was also a little surprised. It turned out that he thought that things would be very simple. As long as the money was in place, he could buy a team, just like the Premier League. It's not that simple.

Moreover, in the nba, it is not an easy task to sell a team. You cannot sell a team just because you are in a bad mood to vent your anger. If a certain team owner submits an application to sell the team, then at least 22 of the remaining 29 team owners of the NBA Council composed of 30 team owners must vote in favor before the team can be sold.

As for the selection of a new owner, the nba has a special financial committee to estimate the possible situation after the change of owner. Only the owner who is expected to bring benefits to the team's future development can buy an nba team.

What's even more speechless is that not everyone can become the owner of the NBA, and it's not just about money. The nba needs to review the qualifications of the new owner of the team buyer. If the review fails, no matter how rich they are, it will be useless.

When Jerry Buss bought the Lakers back then, the league management believed that Buss was a huahua son, and it was difficult for such a person to run the team safely. The league deliberately refused to approve Bass to join the Lakers until Bass submitted a plan to develop the Lakers. His idea of ​​combining entertainment and sports impressed the league management, and then passed the review.

In addition, if the new owner of the team wants to take the team to relocate the city, then sorry, it is very likely that the nba council will vote against it.

Therefore, whether it is selling or buying a team, it is not something that can be negotiated after sitting down and having a meal. It takes a long period of investigation, negotiation, and qualification review to finally determine whether the NBA team has changed hands.

However, the only good news is that there are really many teams interested in selling, which gives Arthur a lot of choice.

It has to be said that the current situation of the NBA can be regarded as being in turmoil, and there was a crisis of stopping at one time. Many owners were afraid that their investment would be lost if the NBA stopped, so many owners wanted to sell the team at that time.

"Charlotte Hornets, $275 million. Nets, $200 million. Washington Wizards, $310 million. Golden State Warriors, $450 million. Detroit Pistons, $235 million. Philadelphia 76 People, quote $280 million."
