Chapter 1635: The White Sox
"Hey, Marcus, I think you know how much Hank's Farm is looking forward to the White Sox's arrival." Li Han said, and handed over the new draft contract to Marcus.
Marcus glanced away, a little surprised. "Han, this is really an irresistible temptation."
Three and a half million dollars may not be enough for an athlete in the major leagues, but for the White Sox, which is the last in the minor leagues, three and a half million dollars is definitely a surprising price.
The Great Rapids White Sox are not indispensable to the parent team. You must know that there are no less than ten affiliated teams of the White Sox. The Great Rapids White Sox are only rookies, and they belong to the bottom league.
Three and a half million is definitely a high price. Li Han needs a sound team, so he put a lot of money into the bidding. "Marcus, now, Coward will be satisfied with this offer, won't he?" Li Han said.
Marcus, of course understands, this price, well, Coward will definitely not refuse, for a sold team, Coward doesn't care whether it is in Great Rapids or Comic Star.
For the White Sox, Li Han paid 3.5 million, of which 3 million was used to buy the name. Coward needs money now. Perhaps this is also the reason why Marcus is expected to agree to Coward.
Marcus, I plan to think about it. This team is not only owned by Coward, but also Marcus has worked hard for many years. Marcus must find a good home for it.
Li Han, seeing off Marcus, heaved a sigh of relief. "It seems that it is a good idea to build the stadium in advance."
"Han, congratulations, you became the boss of a baseball team." Ling Na said with a smile. "Maybe if you have time, you can ask Mr. Stanley for advice."
"I think so." Li Han nodded, knowing that Stanley is a real sports tycoon.
"Han, but I want to tell you some bad news." Lingna said with a half-smile. "Stanley doesn't like baseball much."
"You don't like baseball much?" Li Han looked puzzled.
"That's right, don't you know that Stanley owns the baseball accident, and the other three major league teams in the four major leagues?" Ling Na looked at Li Han, thinking that Li Han bought the team as if he was flattering Stanley. Come on, I was wrong.
"Well, I really don't know much about this matter." Li Han couldn't laugh or cry, not to mention that Stanley was partly responsible for buying the team. It's just that I didn't expect that Stanley didn't like baseball very much. Well, Li Han was helpless. Baseball and rugby are both Li Han's favorite. Other Li Hans are not very good at it, so they don't like it very much.
Li Han originally planned to get some time from the regional sports TV station owned by Stanley to broadcast the White Sox game, or to do it live.
"Han, that's a good idea."
Li Han said with a wry smile that his own idea was approved by Lingna unexpectedly.
"Han, don't look at me like that. Buying some time slots will help the team a lot," Lingna said.
Li Han nodded, of course, compared to this kind of small league competition, it is more regional, and almost all local fans support it, which is not as good as the big teams, which have fans all over the United States, and even the whole world.
For example, the Los Angeles Lakers, or some well-known football teams, ice hockey teams, and even the Chicago White Sox, a major league baseball team, have enough fans to support them.
The small leagues are more like local separatist forces, each taking a small piece of land for themselves. Buton, Hamilton Township, Breeze Township, and many surrounding towns and cities do not have their own teams, perhaps only amateur teams.
A minor league team is enough to attract these small local residents, of course, when the team is doing well. Marcus, who didn't get Li Han, received the call the next day and left in a hurry.
"hope everything is fine."
Li Han said.
"Let's go, I think the party is not over yet." Li Han said to Lingna and Jennifer.
In front of the bar, a bonfire was lit, everyone reveled, twisted their bodies, danced, and many tourists joined in. Bella's timely cowboy roast,
Not to mention, it attracts hundreds of tourists to taste.
"Jack, Youli, Andeny, thank you for your hard work." Li Han took a bottle of Hank's Manor, pointed at the three of Jack, and said.
"Boss, if you roast such a great venison next time, I don't suggest working hard again." Jack said with a smile.
"That's right, the taste is simply amazing." You Li said.
"Hey, two bottles of Hank's Estate."
"I come."
Li Han, took the beer, opened it and handed it to the visitor. "Thank you." Borrowed the money and handed it to Youli. "How many Hank estates are sold today?"
"I think there are three hundred bottles, maybe more." You Li took the money and put it in the cabinet next to it.
"It's quite a lot." Li Han said. "Don't disturb your work, Andy, drink less."
"Yes, boss." Andeny blushed, thinking, this guy always drank secretly.
"Hey, Han is here."
"Play a game?"
"No, no, I don't like this." Li Han said.
"Riding a bull, lassoing a horse." Competitions, of course, for cowboys, this means life, and whoever has the best skills wins the competition, which is quite a matter of face.
"Bella, today's party is really good." Li Han came to Bella and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Han, Albert, Hughton, Henry, and Doyle are all here, waiting inside." Bella said.
"Then I'll go first."
Albert and the others are the core personnel of the entire cattle farm. The third generation of Hank cattle was born, and they have contributed the most. "Doyle, I'll bring a nice bottle of wine."
Li Han came in and saw Doyle, who was drinking beer, raised his hand with a smile and held a good bottle of whiskey. "Han, Doyle really says your venison roast tastes amazing."
Doyle's barbecue is considered a must in Hank's farm, and Li Han is quite happy to be recognized by Doyle. "It's just a pity that we came late, and there is not much venison left."
"Maybe, next time, we can try the taste of the third generation of Hank." Henry said with a smile, took the wine, and opened it impatiently.
"It's really good wine."
"Three generations of Hank, the taste will definitely be better." Albert rarely showed a hint of complacency.
"Albert, it seems that you are very confident, so I am relieved." Li Han raised his glass. "A toast to Hank's Bull."
"For Hank Cow."
Several people toasted, smiled, and said.
"Albert, is everything okay on the cattle farm?"
"Everything is ok, boss, I never thought that Hank Racecourse would get a ticket to the Kentucky Horse Racing Festival. Pete did a great job." Albert said.
"Yeah, Pete did a great job."
Li Han said with a smile. "Hank's Cow Farm will be astonishing, Hank's Cow will give everyone a big surprise, won't it?"
"That's right." Henry said with a smile.
Several people drank a few glasses and discussed the next step of the development of the cattle farm. It is time for Hank cattle to show up. "Albert, this matter, you and Henry, hurry up."
"Tyson will hold a calf auction in May. This is the largest auction in Montana. Many farmers and ranches will participate. This is a good opportunity. Albert, your plan is correct, but, Before that, the Billings BBQ Festival in March and the Montana Blackfoot Indian Carnival in April are also good opportunities." Li Han said.
You must know that the barbecue festival and carnival will attract many foreign tourists, Li Han paused after finishing speaking. "Why, is there something wrong?"
"Han, the barbecue festival is a good idea. Of course, if you can participate, I think it will be even better." Doyle said. "The taste of venison makes God drool, and I think beef Hank roasted must taste even better."
"Doyle, you're right." Hughton said.
"Han, you must participate in the barbecue festival. If you win the championship, I think it will be more beneficial to the promotion of Hanke cattle." Henry said.
Li Han looked at Albert, saw Albert nodded, Li Han smiled wryly, he was shooting himself in the foot. "Well, I did my best and hope you guys are right."
"Han, we believe that you will definitely win." Several old cowboys looked at each other and said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I think Pandora and the baby must be very happy to participate." Li Han said with a smile.
"pandora and baby?"
A few people paused, and then their eyes lit up. "Han, this proposal is great. If Pandora and the baby participate in this barbecue festival, I don't think we need to deliberately promote it. The two little guys are enough to attract attention."
“Pandora’s grilled meat tastes good.”
"Baby's small skills are enough for entrance."
A few people say something to you, and I say something, Li Han smiled wryly, just hoping that the two villains, Dudu and Baobao, know and don't get too excited. Think of two villains, dressed as chefs, wielding small knives and forks, well, Li Han shook his head.
At this time, Dudu, Baobao, Maria, Brother Taita, and Kang Na who came to get the news, carried a small basket and pushed open the small wooden door. "Be careful not to touch the shelf."
Each of the small iron frames is climbing green seedlings and hanging various small flowers. "Wow, so beautiful." Kang Na blinked her big eyes.
"Sister Kangna, pull the carrots here."
One carrot at a time, one piece at the side was pulled out, and there was not much left. "Little carrot." Kang Na squatted down, grabbed a carrot and pulled it out vigorously.
"Sister Kang Na, slow down." Dudu said with a small mouth.
"oh."
Kang Na saw that there was only half a carrot, and blinked.
"Sister Baby, take Sister Kangna to pick tomatoes."
"Yeah." The baby nodded.
"Sister Maria, pick a small fruit."
Maria nodded. Maria was the most patient in doing things. Picking some small fruits was the most suitable. Dudu is a villain, and the division of labor is quite reasonable. As for the Taita brothers, Dudu also digs small potatoes in the ground.
Little people's fist-sized potatoes, planted in the fall, these will be delicious, baked, or made into potato salad, little crunchy potatoes, the best taste.
A few small people, the best, of course, this is not used to make candy, potato candy, a few small people, have not studied yet, this time the candy uses carrots and tomatoes, and a small space fruit from the vegetable garden.
A few small people picked it for more than half an hour, and the small basket was full, and they carried it out of the vegetable garden. "Brother Taita Titan, send the potatoes to be baked." Dudu walked out of the vegetable garden and said to Pidian following the two little brothers.
