Chapter 243 Smith Media Group(2/3)

Abel nodded with satisfaction, although it was actually just feelings.

But after having Abel's level of wealth and power.

Many times, feelings will be something that people like him cherish.

This is just like there are many rich people in China who especially like to remember the bitter and sweet after becoming famous.

What they actually remember is not something from the past.

What they remember is actually their lost youth.

It just happened that something carried their memories during their youth.

Things like this become the past they cherish.

This is what is called emotion.

For Abel, Dayao was one of the carriers of his lost youth in junior high school and high school.

Abel was willing to spend what he regarded as a small amount of money for his feelings.

Abel stood up and patted George Postellos on the shoulder.

"Then I'll leave him to you. By the way, I should be there to watch this year's NBA draft."

No matter what he thought, George Postellos didn't know why.

Abel would think so highly of this Chinese man.

But what Abel said next made George Postellos feel happy.

Since Abel acquired the Rockets, he has not been to the Rockets headquarters once so far.

This was a cruel thing for the entire Rockets team, which was excited about being acquired by Abel.

When they were first acquired, the Rockets were collectively very excited.

Everyone has long had enough of Alexander's stinginess.

If you can replace any boss who is not stingy, everyone will be happy.

Then the stingy boss changed, and a top-notch super-rich man was directly appointed as the team boss.

This super rich man is also recognized by the media as one of the most generous bosses to his subordinates.

At that time, everyone felt that the Rockets had become the other party's company.

Doesn’t it mean that they can also welcome the most generous boss in the United States?

Then wouldn’t everyone’s treatment be improved?

Anyway, the entire Rockets team, including the players, thought so at the time.

It turns out that Abel bought the Rockets.

But they just sent a professional manager to come over and declare their sovereignty.

Then two more accountants were sent over to take over the Rockets' financial work.

In other respects, let alone Abel himself.

Even few people from Abel's side came to take a look.

The Rockets, acquired by Abel, felt abandoned over time.

It is true that the former boss Alexander was very stingy, but Alexander would appear in the team at least a few times every week.

Now if it were Abel, he wouldn't even come once.

Everyone on Team Rocket was a little panicked because of this.

I was afraid that Abel would sell them again, and I was even more afraid that the next buyer would be a stingy guy like Alexander again.

George Postellos came to New York this time, ostensibly for Yao Yao.

In fact, there are also attempts on behalf of the team management to find out the owner's intentions towards the Rockets.

What the owner means to the Rockets, George Postellos doesn't feel it.

But now George knows that the boss attaches great importance to this tall Chinese man.

He even attaches great importance to it to the extent that he will participate in the NBA draft and watch the show.

George Postellos felt that if the boss really went to the scene.

That boss will probably become the richest and highest-status viewer in the history of NBA draft shows.

By then, the Rockets will surely become one of the most watched NBA teams because of this owner.

This means that George Postellos is thinking in his mind that he wants the boss to focus on the team.

Maybe it will fall on the tall Chinese man in front of me.

This made the general manager look at Dayao more and more friendly.

It's like looking at a baby.

This also made Dayao even more flattered. The little giant felt as if he had become a hot potato after coming to the United States.

Are all Americans so good?

The little giant who was still a little confused thought.

But this is actually just an attitude of remembrance and protection that Abel had towards one of his many feelings.

Just like this, George Postellos and CAA's Derek Wright have the same attitude towards Yao as a big baby.

What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom.

That's probably what I'm talking about.

After meeting the young Yao once and consummating my childhood feelings.

Abel's focus has shifted away from F1 and the NBA, which are more entertainment-oriented for him.

His focus was on the integration of his media companies.

Currently, Abel owns many media companies.

MGM and its subsidiaries (Marvel, Dark Horse, DreamWorks, Pixar, etc.).

AMC Television, AB Smith Newspapers, AB Smith Entertainment, Elizabeth's Back Garden, etc.

These companies, except for AB Smith Entertainment, which has some jurisdiction, basically operate independently.

At most, they are just business cooperation between brother companies.

This situation is obviously not conducive to the circulation between resources and channels.

With the advice of the advisory panel.

Abel decided to integrate them and bring them all under one group.

Just like Time Warner, News Corporation, Hearst Corporation, ABC Disney Group.

This job is actually not that difficult.

The main reason is that almost all of the above companies are companies wholly owned by him.

He alone is the chairman of so many companies.

Having the greatest power over them all, the integration sent by Abel they could not resist.

So on May 25th.

Abel summoned all the heads of these companies to New York.

All were called to Woolworth House.

Negotiations for the acquisition of Woolworth Building are almost complete.

Several major consortiums have agreed to sell their building shares to Abel under his sincere offer.

Currently, only the last 10% of minority shareholders are still in negotiations.

But this is only a matter of time, and the ownership issue is expected to be resolved next month.

By then, the entire Woolworth Building will be owned by Abel.

Abel plans to place the headquarters of the integrated media group here.

Calling everyone over is also a way to let everyone know the way in advance and know where the group headquarters is.

The first high-level meeting of Smith Media Group.

It was also on this day that a meeting was held on the 33rd floor of the Woolworth Building, the original headquarters of Smith Capital.

Robert Iger, Michael Levine, Dylan, Richard Plepler and other media company executives also arrived at the scene.

After CAA's Michael Ovitz heard about this meeting, Ovitz also wanted to come.

However, Abel only holds about 36% of the shares of caa, and does not have absolute control.

Abel was too lazy to carry out equity splitting after the integration, plus he already had a new love interest in MGM.
