Chapter 272: Ikana in Crazy Pregnancy Preparation(2/3)

In the same way, there are football teams such as the New York Giants. Any one of them can beat the Knicks in the NBA.

However, there is only one Knicks team in New York. No matter how bad the Knicks are, they have become the most profitable and richest team in the NBA.

As of now in 2001, the total market value of the entire NBA's thirty teams is estimated to be around US$12 billion.

But the New York Yankees have a market value of about US$4 billion.

In other words, a top team in the MLB is worth one-third of the team value in the NBA.

In the pre-NBA era before China was fully developed, the NBA was always at the bottom of the four major leagues.

After the Chinese market was developed, the value of the NBA ranked third among the four major leagues.

But even so, there are still characters like Thunder in the NBA.

This is a typical example of picking up the bowl to eat and then putting the bowl down to curse.

Faced with Abel's statement that he wanted to acquire the New York Yankees, Morgensohn and his grandson didn't have much doubt.

Because no matter how high the New York Yankees are, it is possible to succeed with Abel's wealth.

Paige's response to this was a calm reply, "Okay. I'll go when the time comes."

Robert wasn't invited, and Peggy wouldn't go either.

Abel also did not stay at the prosecutor's office.

He was escorted out by Peggy.

As soon as he got in the car, he picked up his cell phone and made a call.

"Hello, Warren."

"Good afternoon, Abel."

"How about coming to New York tomorrow night?"

"What's the matter?"

"Come to Madison Square Garden tomorrow night and let's watch the NBA draft together."

As soon as he finished saying this, Abel was afraid that Buffett would refuse, so he said before Buffett could speak:

"I have invited the Mayor of New York City, Speaker of the City Council, Elephant Party candidate Bloomberg, and Western District Attorney Robert Morgenthau. These people will all show up when the time comes. Warren, are you sure you don't want to come?

"

Buffett was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "What's the big plan?"

"You'll find out when you come here."

"Okay. Then I'll go there tomorrow."

"OK, waiting for you."

The phone hung up and Abel breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, of those people he just mentioned, Bloomberg is the only one who has promised to go.

And it was only after hearing that Buffett would go that Bloomberg was willing to go.

In fact, Abel had not invited Buffett at all before this.

He has only now extended an invitation to Buffett.

As for the New York City Mayor, City Council Speaker, Western District Attorney Robert, etc.

Abel either wasn't invited at all or was rejected.

But what the heck.

Even Buffett and Bloomberg discovered the truth afterwards.

Are they going to fall out with Abel and be dissatisfied with Abel because of this trivial matter?

At most, I would be speechless and then angry for a while.

Abel still had this face at this time.

It was only through this incident that Abel also discovered that none of the upper-class old white men in the United States were interested in the NBA.

It seems that even Obama, as the only black leader, has never watched the black-dominated NBA league.

In America, black people have too many attributes and are destined to belong only to the bottom class.

No matter how hard the NBA executives work, as long as this is not changed, they will never be able to compete with the NHL and MLB.

The most they can do is use their influence in the international market to keep the Hockey League under their control and become the fourth player, while they themselves become the third player.

But this didn't matter to Abel.

Most of his interest in the NBA came from his childhood.

It is of a ticket-playing nature.

He doesn't care whether the NBA can move up the league.

After hanging up the phone, Abel's motorcade drove towards the Woolworth Building.

Through negotiations, this building was built in 1913 in the neo-Gothic architectural style, 792 feet (241 meters) high, and has a total of 57 floors.

It has now become one of the properties under New Starting Point Real Estate.

Taxes + the cost of purchasing the building cost Abel a total of US$1.635 billion.

The price of buying a prestigious building in the core area of ​​Manhattan is exaggerated.

After taking full ownership, Abel has applied to the New York City Government to change the name.

If approved, there will no longer be a Woolworth Building in New York.

In its place is a building bearing the prefix Smith's name.

Just like Papa Ikana's Ted Lena Building, its original name was the Chase Bank Building in Manhattan.

After the old man bought it, he changed the name to his first and last name.

Abel also imitated him.

But it’s a little more difficult on Abel’s side.

Because the Woolworth Building is more famous, taller, and has a more important location, it is already a historical heritage building.

This is a bit difficult to change.

Today, the Woolworth Building is beginning to be fully rented out, with more than 400 companies inside being cleared out.

It's a costly job, but fortunately it's not that difficult, it just takes some time.

In addition, the building's exterior facade has begun to be renovated and cleaned, which will last for a month or two.

In half a year, there will be a skyscraper here that does not change its original appearance but has a completely new look.

Abel didn't go to the top of the building, and there was nothing interesting to see if he did.

He was at the door of the building and looked at its appearance.

Maybe he had some feeling, looking at the Woolworth Building, he couldn't help but look to the south of the building.

There, there are two buildings that look exactly the same and are much taller than the surrounding buildings.

They are reflecting bright light under the sunshine in New York at the end of June, setting off the prosperity and modernization of the city.

"Twins~"

Abel sighed softly.

He has decided to stay in New York for more than a month and leave New York in one month.

He won't return to New York until that thing is over.

He will wait until the dust clears before returning to the traumatized New York.

Then, if possible, he will come here as the savior of New York or Manhattan to establish his new image in this city!

This plan has been on his mind for a long time.

It's just that because I can't tell others, I can only know it by myself.

It's a bit hard to hold back.

In addition, he was also curious about whether that incident was a conspiracy.

Or is it just inevitable among the accidental events formed by various coincidences.

He didn't know any of this, but he knew that his life was important.

During that time, he would also ask his women and important employees to stay away from Manhattan for a period of time under various pretexts.

In fact, he was not the only prophet to do this.

In parallel space and time.

When that day comes.
To be continued...
