The Shark Tank (Chicago)

[Midas]

Simple... I am a huge multi-tasker so while I keep us having fun I will be winning... First I will start by spending some cash for a top notch staff and this is of course after we set up our camp in Vegas. We draft the best and show them that being with us is a shit ton of fun and this will lead to wins and money and more fun...

As far as who to draft well I think we will do some hard work scouting these guys and then get a feel of their personality and whoever works well with us will join us and WIN!

[Mike Powers]

Damn son, I sure like you!  Let me tell you a little secret.  You're definitely a top candidate to lead the Shark Tank!  Haha!!  If you have anything else to say, I'm all ears.  Otherwise, I expect to make a decison soon, so I'll be in touch!   

[Midas]

No I am good thank you for your time...

[Mike Powers]

Haha!  Looks like the only one around here that can keep their cool and actually have some fun is Midas!!  Welcome to the Shark Tank bud! 

[Midas]

Thank you for having me...

First things first... I have my feelers out to the people we need to get in touch with to establish our club in Las Vegas and am waiting back to here...

[Midas]

(Clears throat)

Excuse me sorry I had to clear my throat... I mean I am waiting back to hear from them!

[Midas]

Mr. Hawthorne while we wait to hear back from the people in Vegas I was wondering if you have ever considered setting up the club in Chicago...

Chicago is the third largest city in the nation and just so happens to be my hometown... I can assure you that the city would make a large profit for us and keep the lawyers happy and with my knowledge of the city I am confident that I can keep you flush with fun for years to come.

[Mike Powers]

Hey.  I reached out to a guy in Vegas, he told me there was another club interested in Vegas, so that made the prices go up.  There's a place on Freemont Street, which is the old Vegas Strip.  5,500 seats, $4.5 million per season.  There is another in a casino right on the new Strip.  7,000 seats, $6 million per year.

Is there anything fun to do in Chicago? 

[Midas]

I grew up in Chicago and let me tell you anything we could do in Vegas we could do in Chicago... When I suggested Las Vegas to you but it turns out some other club is looking into Vegas and this is jacking up the price and personally I see vast opportunity now for us...

New York... Chicago... LA... Those are the 3 major cities in the nation and only LA has been taken! We put our club in Chicago and blow all these other clubs out of the market...

Vegas has Casinos and so does Chicago... Vegas has loose women and so does Chicago... And I will let you in on a secret that not many people know! The police and mayor in Chicago HATE midgets and enjoy the occasional session of Midget bowling so no worries about someone breaking up the fun!

I think is we are going to have the price jacked up in Vegas then we should just pay more and be in a bigger market with more potential for fun!

[Mike Powers]

You had me at Casino's and loose women son!!  Haha!!  Remember though, as a top market in the US, the prices will be high there as well!! 

[Midas]

I understand but with the price being raised because of other interested parties we might as well pay the same price for a bigger market and worse case scenario if we don't like the price then we can fall back to Vegas if it is still around.

So now I will get some info about Chicago...

[Mike Powers]

I reached out to my Mr. Hawthorne's real estate guy, and here is what he found.  There are 2 facilities.  The first is 8,000 seats, and it is just off the downtown area, at a cost of $5.5 million.  The second is 12,000 seats, and is located just a few blocks away from Soldier Field, but at a cost of $8 million.     

[Midas]

That's funny... Yeah so get all the paperwork together for the 12,000 seater for $8,000 as that would make us the team with the biggest arena!

Now please contact Lawrence Corwin and see if he would like to interview for the Head Trainer position.

[Mike Powers]

I'm Corwin.

[Midas]

Mr. Corwin I hear you are a man of few words so let me do most of the talking and lets see if we can get you signed to the shark tank to be our head trainer. Your experience is widely known so I will not bother inquiring about that but I am concerned that you are someone who could prove difficult to communicate with. I am sure you are a great leader of men but would we have a issue communicating with each other on whats best for the club?

We are the second largest market in the TWC and there will be tons of pressure on both you and I to win and win fast so if you believe you can properly communicate with myself and our team owner and can withstand the pressure that comes with a club based in Chicago how about we talk about money...

Excuse me for a moment...

Bobby... Can you get Dexter Freeman on the phone.
