The next morning, Li Guangyu rushed to Los Angeles. The Lakers ultimately failed to enter the Western Conference Finals and lost to the Suns 2:4. Li Guangyu went to Los Angeles this time to make certain adjustments to the group's top management.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the conference room of the Great Western Arena, the top executives of the Sports Industry Group were already in place. At the same time, Lakers coach Jerry West was also notified to come here for a meeting.
Li Guangyu said in the meeting: "I am very satisfied with the team's results this season. Now I would like to ask the CEO, Ms. Peng Xiaoli, to announce some personnel adjustments within the group."
Peng Xiaoli stood up and said: "The vice president of the group, Mr. Theis Poulos, will no longer concurrently serve as the president of the Lakers team affairs department. His position will be held by the team general manager, Mr. Jevon McCann."
Sis Poulos was very calm about this. After he was promoted to vice president of the group, he knew that the position of president of the affairs department would be given away.
Jevon McCann, on the other hand, was surprised. He did not expect that the senior management would let him serve as the second-in-command of the Lakers. His face was full of excitement.
Peng Xiaoli continued: "Ms. Nancy Clostie, president of the Lakers, will no longer concurrently serve as president of the public relations department, and Ms. Sri Williams will assume her position."
Sri Williams' expression was relatively normal because during this period she was in charge of the public relations department. This appointment was in her information, but she still had a hint of joy on her face when she actually heard about the appointment.
After Peng Xiaoli finished her speech, she said: "Kings president Mr. Jim Green will no longer hold the concurrent position of president of team affairs, and his position will be held by Mr. Simon Crean."
…
"The position of general manager of the Lakers will be held by Mr. Jerry West." Peng Xiaoli announced.
Jerry West had no idea that he would become the general manager of the team as soon as he entered the management. He thought that he would have to struggle for many years before he could sit in this high position. He did not expect that he would become the top executive of the Lakers.
.
Jerry West stood up and said: "Thank you to the senior management of the group for their trust in me. I believe I have the ability to lead the Lakers to achieve better results and make the Lakers one of the nobility in the NBA."
Li Guangyu still knew the abilities of Jerry West very well. Before Li Guangyu was reborn, he was still active in the NBA and served as the general manager of many teams and even held higher positions.
After the meeting, Li Guangyu met with Jerry West alone and discussed the team's draft issues with him.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. West, the results of the draft lottery have come out. We got the No. 1 pick drawn by the Jazz. Do you have a suitable candidate for the team's pick?"
As the team's coach for many years, West naturally knows where the team's weaknesses are. Being able to get the No. 1 pick this time is a good opportunity to strengthen the team. He has already had a goal.
West said to Li Guangyu: "Mr. Li, I plan to select Michigan State University's Earvin Johnson with the No. 1 pick. Our back line is currently relatively weak, and I think he can make up for our back line very well."
Seeing that West chose Magic, Li Guangyu stopped mentioning it and asked about the team's new coach.
Jerry West didn't have a clear goal for this yet, and could only say: "Mr. Li, regarding the issue of our team's new coach, we can take another look. I don't have a clear goal at the moment."
Li Guangyu said to him: "You should contact Mr. Pat Riley to see if he is willing to serve as the chief assistant coach of our team. If you are willing, you can continue to serve as the team coach next season and see if Mr. Riley can
He cannot take over the coaching position of the team."
West is very familiar with Pat Riley. Riley played under him when he was with the Lakers. He did not expect that Li Guangyu would be ready to let him serve as the team's head coach.
"Okay, Mr. Lee, I will contact Mr. Riley as soon as possible." Jerry West said.
"Well, Mr. West, you go and do your work." Li Guangyu said.
After Li Guangyu finished talking to Jerry West about the Lakers, he came to Peng Xiaoli's office.
"Ms. Peng, due to the problems in Hong Kong, Ms. Zhou Liang will not return to the United States at present, and her plan to establish a Jiayi artist agency branch in the United States has not been completed. I hope you can complete this matter," Li Guangyu said.
Peng Xiaoli is also aware of this matter. The establishment of this company can better communicate the mutual cooperation and common development of several major groups.
"Okay, Li Sheng, I will complete the establishment of this branch as soon as possible." Peng Xiaoli replied.
"Just make your own arrangements. While developing Xinghong Sports Industry Group, you should also communicate more with other group companies to understand the development trends of each group in the United States." Li Guangyu said.
Peng Xiaoli knew that this was Li Guangyu's preparation for her to fully manage American companies in the future, and she certainly had no objection to this.
Peng Xiaoli said: "Don't worry Li Sheng, I will keep in touch with each group at any time to promote the coordinated development of our major groups."
"You also know that it is impossible for me to let Mr. Yuan Tianfan stay in the United States for a long time. He will be transferred back to Hong Kong in 1982 at the latest. You must learn more about management experience and understand each group company in these three years.
business"
"I understand, thank you Li Sheng for taking me seriously, I won't let you down," Peng Xiaoli said solemnly.
Li Guangyu didn't say anything after listening to Peng Xiaoli's words. The opportunity had been given to her. Whether she could seize it or not would depend on her ability to take charge of all companies in the United States in the future.
The reason why Li Guangyu wanted to transfer Yuan Tianfan back to Hong Kong in 1982 at the latest was because it was basically the lowest point of Hong Kong's economy at that time. Many banks would collapse as a result, and the Hong Kong dollar would also have a crisis later.
Li Guangyu was preparing to acquire a bank at that time. If he wanted to develop into a top giant, how could he not have his own bank? The reason why Li Guangyu did not acquire the bank now was to wait for that time to take action.
And Yuan Tianfan will be the future head of Li Financial Group. Li Guangyu cannot keep Yuan Tianfan on the American side, so he wants to let Peng Xiaoli learn more now. After Yuan Tianfan leaves, there will be someone in the United States who can support him.
The development of the group.
Li Guangyu did not want to transfer a senior executive who was unfamiliar with the situation in the United States after Yuan Tianfan left. This would not be good for the development of the group.
After Li Guangyu finished talking to Peng Xiaoli, he left the Great Western Arena and returned to the hotel suite that Du Yonghong booked for him.
Li Guangyu now realizes that it is quite troublesome not to have an assistant. Many things could be done by just giving instructions in the past. Now that there is no assistant, Li Guangyu needs to do it himself. Li Guangyu considers that he has to recruit another assistant, otherwise there will be too many
At times, the company’s affairs are not kept up to date.
