Li Guangyu didn't know why the acquisition was successful so quickly. In fact, the main reason was that in order to save some money, Jerry Buss actually hired 50 lawyers and slowly negotiated with Wyvin Janis and the others.
Wyvin Janis and the others were also annoyed. They were in urgent need of money now, and Li Guangyu was willing to pay a high price, so he negotiated an agreement with Li Guangyu on the spot so that he could sell it early and get the money for other investments.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Guangyu, Li Xuelan and lawyers from the American branch of the Lee Group came to the Great Western Arena, where Li Guangyu would sign contracts with Wyvin Janis and Will Mitty.
A press conference will be held at the same time.
Li Guangyu came to a conference room in the arena, where Wyvin Janis and Will Mitty were already waiting.
But when Li Guangyu and the others signed the contract, Jerry Buss was trembling with anger. He had been preparing for a long time, waiting to slowly negotiate and carry out the acquisition. Nowadays, no one in the United States is trying to rob him. Anyone with money can compete with him.
If you don’t like it, you can’t afford it if you like it.
Jerry Buss couldn't understand why Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared. Do you, a young man from Xiangjiang, understand the operation of the sports industry? Now Jerry Buss has some regrets. If he could go back in time, he would definitely
I won't let Li Guangyu take advantage of it just to save a little money.
After Li Guangyu asked his accompanying lawyer to check all the contracts and there were no problems, he signed his name with Wyvin Janis and Will Mitty respectively.
At the same time, Li Guangyu also directly signed a Citibank check of US$70 million to Wyvin Janis in accordance with the requirements of the contract. As for how the two of them divided it, that is not Li Guangyu's business.
In order to make this successful acquisition, Li Guangyu went to Citibank to open an account, mainly because HSBC did not have any branches in the United States. For future convenience, Li Guangyu went to Citibank to open an account in person to facilitate his activities in the United States.
Li Guangyu attended the press conference together with Wyvin Janis and Will Mitty.
At this time, media reporters in Los Angeles were also dispatched one after another. This was the first time that an Asian had entered the American sports industry. This was worthy of their praise. This news could bring them huge benefits.
This press conference was hosted by Li Xuelan. When Li Guangyu and three others came to the press conference, the place was already ready.
Li Xuelan said: "Thank you all reporters for attending our Lee Group's press conference on the acquisition of the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Kings as well as the Great Western Conference. Now reporters can ask questions."
Li Xuelan first clicked on a reporter from Xiangyu Daily, who was looking after his own company. The reporter asked in Cantonese: "Li Sheng, we all know that you have just arrived in the United States. What makes you think about the acquisition?"
Where are the two teams and the arena?"
Li Guangyu also replied in Cantonese: "The reason why I acquired these two teams is because of the multi-faceted development choices of my Li Group, which is conducive to the development of various groups under my umbrella."
A reporter from the Los Angeles Times asked: "Mr. Li, we know that you and your industry have never entered the sports industry, and the operation of the sports industry is obviously very different from other industries. Now that the Lakers have just entered the playoffs, your
Does entering create a bad image of this?"
The Los Angeles Times is a staunch supporter of the Lakers. This year, the team finally made it to the playoffs under the leadership of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. However, the owner suddenly changed. Who knows whether it will affect the status of the players.
Li Guangyu also knows that he is very young to begin with, not to mention that he is an Oriental. So now these reporters don't really believe that he can develop the team well, and they may think more that he is buying a toy.
Li Guangyu said: "My entry into the sports industry is the result of careful consideration. I currently have a clothing group and a media group under my control. Entering the sports industry can have a huge promotion effect on them."
"As for your worries that my arrival will have a negative impact on the Lakers, I think you don't have to worry about that at all. I will completely retain the current team management, and there will be no major turmoil in the team."
An espn reporter asked: "Li Sheng, according to the news we just learned, you are now a powerful person with assets of more than three billion US dollars. Now that you have entered the sports industry, will you use your strong financial resources to hoard many stars?"
Disrupt the order of the alliance?"
"Don't worry, I won't do this. I believe the team can develop well on its own. There is no need to go to various teams to recruit stars. Besides, whether multiple stars can coexist in the same team is also a problem." Li Guangyu replied.
arrive.
Li Guangyu won't think about trading. He can select Magic Johnson in this year's draft. Why should he go? As for the Los Angeles Kings {nhl}, Li Guangyu doesn't understand. Let him go.
It's best if it develops well, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't.
A reporter from the Los Angeles News asked: "Mr. Janis, Mr. Mitty, we know that Mr. Jerry Buss has been discussing the acquisition of the team with you. What is the reason for you to sell it to Mr. Lee instead of Buss?"
Where is sir?"
Wyvin Janis said: "We have always hoped to negotiate this cooperation with Jerry Buss, but Mr. Buss does not seem to be very sincere, so that we have been unable to reach an agreement. And Mr. Li He is very fond of my country's sports industry, and his sincerity also impressed us, so we are willing to transfer it to Mr. Li."
Regarding what Wyvin Janis said, reporters all understood that it was simply that Jerry Buss did not pay enough and Li Guangyu paid a high price, so it was sold to Li Guangyu.
NBC reporter asked: "Mr. Li, we all know that the Lakers have a relatively glorious history in the NBA. They have always aimed to win the championship. Now that you have acquired the Lakers, do you have any plans?"
"I believe in the Lakers players, as well as the Lakers management and coaches. I think we can win the championship trophy next season." Li Guangyu said with confidence. We were supposed to win the championship next season.
That said, there is no problem at all.
However, reporters felt that Li Guangyu was too arrogant. He had just bought the team and was already boasting about winning the championship next season.
"Mr. Li, you said that you are not going to recruit star players from other teams, but now the Lakers' lineup still has certain flaws. You are so bold that you will win the championship next season. What gives you such confidence?" nbc
The reporter continued to ask.
Of course it's Magic. This legendary player will enter the NBA next season. He played from the 1st to the 5th position. He played center as a point guard in the finals and led the team to win the championship. I
Why don't you have confidence?
Li Guangyu said: "I believe that the Lakers will definitely win the championship next season. As for where my confidence comes from, this needs to be kept secret for the time being. Reporters can wait and see next season."
