Four more today! Thanks to the first leader of this book, two chapters are added for the leader!

The U.S. Tennis Open has a long history, dating back to the 19th century. Although it is not as influential as the most traditional Wimbledon Open, its status is higher than that of the French and Australian Opens. The tournament is held every year, usually in the eighth. Held in the second half of the month. Watermark advertising testWatermark advertising test

This is a highly commercialized country. The commercialization of professional tennis is no less than that of professional rugby and professional boxing. Both men and women singles champions of the U.S. Open can receive more than $1 million in prize money and win prizes in four major tournaments. highest.

"As early as 1989, the US Open involved more than 100 million US dollars of money."

The two players on the green hard ground are still warming up. Charlize Theron sitting in the box whispered to Ryan about some of the US Open. "This session is said to have received the support of many large groups, regardless of the bonus. Still, TV broadcast fees have reached new highs."

"Oh, Charlie, you know so much."

Looking at the cameras that swept over from time to time, Ryan simply took off his sunglasses. Anyway, he was harassed by reporters before he came in. "It looks like you not only like football, but also tennis?"

"Actually, I still like basketball." Charlize took off his hat generously and asked, "Haven't you seen me in sports programs?"

"I'm very busy." Ryan made a gesture that you understand. "I've heard people say that you recently became a supporter of the Los Angeles Lakers?"

"Don't you think going to a football game is the best way to relieve stress?"

The game was about to start. She clapped her palms with the audience, leaned in and continued, "I don't want to let my life work in addition to work."

"The game is about to start."

Ryan lifted his chin to the court. Charlize shrugged and closed his mouth temporarily.

This is not only the men’s singles final but also the last match of the current US Open. The opponents are the famous king Sampras and Tatar Marat Safin...

Art Ashe Stadium can be regarded as Sampras's home court. His supporters are clearly in the majority. But contrary to the applause of supporters, Sampras is obviously old. In the face of Safin, who was more powerful, younger and taller, he couldn't take advantage of him. The first set took nearly an hour before losing four to six.

"Pete is in danger."

The old man Stan Lee, who was sitting on the other side of Ryan, finally broke the silence. He shook his head and said, "The two tie-breaks in the semifinals consumed too much energy for him. Perhaps today's finals will be upset."

"According to Stan, the US Open is about to give birth to a new champion."

Ryan didn't care who would become the champion, but instead asked about work, "Stan. How was the audition for "Spider-Man"?"

"Although the final result hasn't come out yet." Stan Lee's eyes receded from the venue where the game was restored. "If there is no accident, the actor will be the Toby Maguire you recommended, but the heroine... Hmm. We prefer Kirsten Dunst, she is also a standard New York girl."

In fact, Paris Hilton, who used to be clamoring to be the heroine, did not participate in the audition. "Charlie Girl 2" has entered the preparatory stage, and a considerable part of the shooting time will overlap with "Spider-Man."

Mary Jane from the previous life took back this role, which is also a good choice.

The game continued. The two players showed the audience the top level of tennis today. Serves with speeds exceeding 120 miles per hour frequently appeared. Once in the tug-of-war, Sampras, who was physically at a disadvantage, would almost be killed. Death is suppressed.

"Ryan, are you interested in entering the sports world?"

Hearing Stan Lee's words, Ryan was taken aback for a moment, "What?"

"Acquire a team." Stan Lee looked at the seats of the main sponsor. "To put it bluntly, the various leagues in North America are just the playthings of big groups and rich people."

Regarding the North American tournament league, Ryan doesn’t know much about it. He knows the most influential Super Bowl. However, I have vaguely heard others say that whether it’s nfl or nba, each team has a consortium or rich man behind the scenes. Shadow.

Although some people make money by running clubs, such as the Glazer family who owns several different teams, most of them are just like Stan Lee said.

The most typical one is Larry Ellison. This madman not only sponsored the America’s Cup, but later bought a team to compete...

"Stan, can you help me contact the New York Yankees' board of directors and shareholders?" Ryan smiled and said to Stan Lee jokingly, "I'm very interested in buying the symbol of New York."

"You are really going to trouble me." Stan Lee's eyes fell on the green court again, "If you are interested, choose another goal."

"You can buy the Los Angeles Lakers." Charlize Theron suddenly said, "This team is in Los Angeles, so close to us..."

"Honey, I was just joking with Stan."

Seeing Charlize's slightly disappointed expression, Ryan patted her on the arm and comforted, "After this time, we can go to Europe to buy a football team."

Speaking of this, Ryan's suddenly had an idea. After waving his hand to Charlize next to him, he ignored the game on the court and fell into thinking.

As long as the situation in the stock market improves, Michael Eisner will definitely drag the entire Disney to attack him. Even if his secret countermeasures are sufficiently concealed, he cannot guarantee to completely avoid Disney’s sight. If he can be on the bright side. The launch of a vigorous acquisition activity, which has made a lot of noise all over the world, will definitely play a deceptive role.

The feasibility of the Mingxiu plank road to darken the warehouse has been proven countless times on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

The acquisition of a football club with a long enough history, brilliant achievements and great influence in the world will definitely cause explosive hype in the media and attract a lot of attention.

However, there are not many such clubs in the world.

It looks like Real Madrid is a good choice, but it is a membership club...

Shaking his head, Ryan dissipated the random thoughts in his head. After all, it will take a long time for the stock market to stabilize again, and it is impossible for Disney to devote too much energy to the Pixar studio in a short period of time.

"Aren't you really thinking about buying the Los Angeles Lakers?"

Probably seeing Ryan thinking, Charlize Theron had to speak, "I was just a joke."

"Let's watch the game." Ryan reminded her.

The second set has come to the end of the game. Because of consecutive breaks, Sampras may be able to recover infinitely less, and his physical strength has seriously affected the state of the tennis king.

In the front side of this box, there is Sampras’s wife, Brigitte Wilson, who obviously saw that her husband is in poor condition today, and her face looks a little lonely.

Seeing this little star who had appeared in "I Know What You Did Last Summer" in his previous life, Ryan suddenly remembered the biggest gossip in the tennis world in the previous life. Like the girls who think that the San Fernando Valley is the back door to Hollywood, they plunge into it for money and future.

As a result, when she married Sampras, the original producer immediately made some of her films into video tapes, and sold them to the United States, and even promoted "Enjoy the pleasure of Sampras." The words, the relationship between the celebrity couple almost broke...

It seems to be something in the next few years, right? Ryan's past life was just seen as a lace, which was vaguely impressed.

But Sampras showed enough tolerance, no matter what happened to the middle two, he chose to forgive Bridget Wilson in the end.

After losing three to six in the second set, Sampras's physical strength declined even more severely in the third set. If it weren't for his rich experience and excellent technique, he might be given a sweet by Safin in this set. Circle, but in the end it was still inevitable to lose three to six.

When the Tatar on the spot raised his hands to celebrate, Ryan said a word to Charlize, left the stands and walked into the VIP dressing room.

Although the award-giving guests are more like soy sauce, this kind of formal occasion is not suitable for his current sportswear dress. After returning, he quickly changed into his formal dress.

At each US Open, the organizers will invite heavyweight award-giving guests. Although they have not yet figured out why they invited themselves, Ryan still maintains the necessary etiquette, with the president of the US Tennis Association and the host from cbs. After the man greeted him, he followed them and walked into the Art Ashe Stadium.

As imagined, Safin is the focus on this occasion, and everyone else will consciously set aside enough time to speak for this championship.

The current head of the United States Tennis Association only announced the total number of spectators this year and the prize amount for the champions and runners-up, giving up the focus.

After Sampras said almost his testimonials Ryan delivered the prize plate belonging to the runner-up to his hands, whispered, "Pete, you are our pride in tennis, keep working hard, come on !"

"Thank you!"

The treatment of the champion was different. When Ryan picked up the trophy, the old sports show supporter of cbs brought the microphone in front of him.

"We have witnessed a new young champion."

In this kind of occasion, it’s a good idea to say something like, "I wish you more success in the future, as great as Sampras."

After sending the championship trophy, Ryan has completed his task. Although the organizer still has a reception after the game, he does not intend to participate.

Came here to watch the U.S. Open finals and serve as award-giving guests, just for interest.

In fact, Ryan's motor nerves have always been good, especially in the sports that he often participates in high-class social communication, such as tennis, horse racing, and golf. His level of amateur level can be justified. ()
