Chapter 70: The Lakers

Li Guangyu didn't know why the acquisition was successful so quickly, in fact, the main reason was that Jerry Bass actually hired 50 lawyers to slowly talk to Wyndwen Jennith in order to save some money.

Wynvin Jennith and they are also annoyed, and now they are in urgent need of money, and Li Guangyu is willing to pay a high price, so he will negotiate with Li Guangyu on the spot, so that he can sell it as soon as possible to get money for other investments.

At 3 p.m., Lee and Xuelan Li and lawyers from the Lee Group's U.S. branch arrived at the Great Western Forum Arena, where Lee will sign contracts with Wyndvin Janice and Will Mitty and hold a press conference at the same time.

Lee arrived in a conference room in the arena, where Wyndin Jennith and Will Mitty were already waiting.

And when Li Guangyu and they signed the contract, Jerry Bass trembled angrily. I have been preparing for a long time, and I am waiting for the slow negotiation and acquisition. Nowadays, there is no one in the United States to rob themselves, and those who have money cannot afford to buy it.

Jerry Bass couldn't understand how this suddenly killed a Cheng bite gold, do you, a teenager from Xiangjiang, understand the operation of the sports industry? Now Jerry Bass regrets a little, if he could go back in time, he would definitely not let Li Guangyu take advantage of it in order to save a little money.

After having his accompanying lawyer check the contracts without any problems, Lee signed his name with Wyndwin Janis and Will Mitty.

At the same time, Li Guangyu also directly signed a check from Citibank for 70 million US dollars to Wyndvin Jennith in accordance with the requirements of the contract, as for how the two of them divided, it was not Li Guangyu's business.

In order to make this successful acquisition, Li Guangyu also went to Citibank to open an account, mainly because HSBC does not have any outlets in the United States. For the convenience of the future, Li Guangyu personally went to Citibank to open an account to facilitate his activities in the United States.

Lee Kwang Woo attended the press conference with Wyndwen Jennith and Will Mitty.

At this time, media reporters in Los Angeles also came out, this is the first time that an Oriental has entered the sports industry in the United States, which is worth their special mention, and this news can bring them huge benefits.

The press conference was presided over by Li Xuelan, and when Li Guangyu and the three came to the press conference, it was ready.

"Thank you for attending the press conference on the acquisition of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Kings (NHL) and the Great Western Forum Arena," Li said. Journalists are now open to questions. ”

Li Xuelan first ordered a reporter from Xiangyu Daily, which is to take care of her own company. I saw the reporter ask in Cantonese: "Mr. Li, we all know that you have just arrived in the United States, what made you think about buying these two teams and stadiums?"

Li Guangyu also replied in Cantonese: "The reason why I bought these two teams is because of the multi-faceted development choices of my Li Group, which is conducive to the development of my various groups. ”

A reporter from the Los Angeles Times asked: "Mr. Lee, 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, and now that the Lakers have just entered the playoffs, does your entry have a bad image of this?"

The Los Angeles Times is a staunch supporter of the Lakers, and this year the team finally reached the playoffs under Abdul-Jabbar's leadership, which suddenly changed owners, and who knows if it will affect the status of the players.

Li Guangyu also knows that he is very young, not to mention that he is still an Oriental. So now these reporters don't believe that they can develop the team well, and maybe think more that he is buying a toy.

Li Guangyu said: "My entry into the sports industry is the result of careful consideration, and I now have a clothing group and a media group, and entering the sports industry can have a huge role in promoting it. ”

"As for your worries that my arrival will have a negative image for the Lakers, I don't think you need to worry about that. I'm going to keep the management of the team completely and there won't be any big upheaval in the team. ”

The ESPN reporter asked: "Li Sheng, according to what we just learned, you are now a person in charge with assets of more than $3 billion, and now that you have entered the sports industry, will you use your deep financial resources to hoard many stars and disrupt the order of the league?"

"Don't worry, I'm not going to do that, I believe that the team itself can develop well, and you don't need to go to each team to poach stars, and besides, whether multiple stars can get along in a team is also a problem. Li Guangyu returned.

Lee Guangyu won't think about trading, he can choose Magic Johnson in this year's draft, why do you want him to go. As for the Los Angeles Kings (NHL), Li Guangyu doesn't understand, let him go, it is best to develop well, and it doesn't matter if he can't.

The Los Angeles News reporter asked, "Mr. Jennis, Mr. Mitty, we know that Mr. Jerry Bass has been talking to you about buying the team, what is the reason for you to sell it to Mr. Lee instead of Mr. Buss?"

"We've always wanted to talk to Jerry Bass about this collaboration, but Mr. Bass doesn't seem to be so sincere that we can't come to an agreement. Mr. Li is very interested in my country's sports industry, and at the same time, his sincerity has also touched us, so we are willing to transfer it to Mr. Li. ”

Regarding what Wyndwen Jennith said, the reporters all understood that it was nothing more than Jerry Bass who did not pay enough money, and Lee Guangyu paid a high price, so he sold it to Lee Kuang-woo.

The NBC reporter asked: "Mr. Li, we all know that the Lakers have a relatively glorious history in the NBA, and they have always been aiming to win the championship.

"I believe in the players of the Lakers, and the management and coaches of the Lakers, and I think we will be able to win the championship next season. Li Guangyu said confidently. I was supposed to win the championship next season, but I didn't have a problem saying that.

However, the reporter felt that Li Guangyu was too arrogant, and he had just bought the team, and he boasted that he would win the championship next season.

"Mr. Lee, you said that you are not ready to poach star players from other teams, and now the Lakers' roster still has certain flaws, and you boast of winning the championship next season, what gives you such confidence?" the NBC reporter continued.

Of course it's Magic, this legendary player who will enter the NBA next season, a bull who played from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, played center with a playmaker in the Finals, and led the team to win the championship, why am I not confident.

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, and you reporters can wait and see next season." ”
