Chapter Seventy-Three: Xinghong Sports Industry Group
April 25 is the first group company established by Li Guangyu in the United States. After several days of preparation, Xinghong Sports Industry Group officially started operation today.
The company's current office is located in the Great West Forum Arena, and the outside office location and decoration are operated by Peng Xiaoli herself. Lee didn't have that much time to wait until that time to set up the group.
Li Guangyu, Zhou Xiaoning, Chen Dong and other high-level leaders in the United States attended the meeting, and Li Guangyu still has high expectations for the sports industry group. In the future, they are also planning to buy a football team in England and a football team in the United States.
Lee Guangyu said at the meeting: "All the senior executives here are drawn from different groups, and as for the Lakers and Kings (NHL), as well as the management of the arena, your positions will not change for the time being. ”
Li Guangyu paused and said, "Now please ask Assistant Li to announce the appointment of the group's top management. ”
Li Xuelan stood up and said, "After Li Sheng's decision, Ms. Peng Xiaoli will be the vice chairman of the board of directors and the chief executive officer of the group. ”
Peng Xiaoli got up and said: "Thank you Li Sheng for your trust, I will work hard to lead the development of the company, and I also ask all colleagues to cooperate with my work." ”
Li Xuemei continued, "Mr. Liu Haichuan is the director and chief financial officer of the Board of Directors. ”
......
Subsequently, Li Xuelan announced that Su Tinghua was appointed as the director of the board of directors and director of the human resources department, Zhao Chunmei was appointed as the director of the board of directors and general manager of the administration department, and Gu Liwei was the manager of the safety and security department.
After Li Xuelan announced the appointment, Li Guangyu said: "In view of the company's future development, the Lakers' basketball president Sith Prologis has been promoted to the group's vice president of board of directors and temporarily serves as the president of team affairs, while Lakers public relations president Lancey Klossy has been promoted to the president of the Lakers and concurrently serves as the president of public relations. ”
Sith Prologis was overjoyed when he heard this, he didn't expect to be able to enter the group headquarters as a vice president, and he thought it would be good to keep his position.
Sith Prologis got up immediately after Li Guangyu finished speaking, and said, "Thank you Mr. Li for your trust, I will assist President Peng in managing the affairs of the group." ”
Lancey Klostie didn't expect that she would be able to run the entire team on her own now, which was never thought of before, the current NBA team presidents are all team owners, and there is no such opportunity for management, but now Lee Guang Woo has given her such an opportunity.
Lancey Klostie also got up immediately after Sith Prologis finished speaking: "Mr. Li, don't worry, I will try my best to manage the Lakers team and strive to win the championship trophy for the team as soon as possible." ”
After arranging the affairs of the Lakers, Lee Guangyu said to the Kings (NHL): "Jim Green, the president of team affairs, will serve as the president of the Kings, and at the same time take the original position. ”
Jim Green was still a little disappointed, because the Lakers' presidents of team affairs have all gone to the headquarters as vice presidents, and he is only serving as the president of his own team. But this will not be the time to be disappointed, if Li Guangyu is unhappy, maybe there will be no president of the team.
Jim Green got up and said, "Thank you Mr. Lee for your trust, I will lead the Kings well and strive to win the team's first league championship as soon as possible." ”
After hearing this, Li Guangyu said: "It's good that you have such confidence, and while we develop ourselves, we should also strengthen cooperation with other groups under my umbrella." You're not alone, many of my companies complement each other, and it's better for you to work with each other. ”
"Li Sheng rest assured that I will communicate more with several presidents to promote the better development of the group. Peng Xiaoli said.
......
After the meeting, Li Guangyu deliberately left Peng Xiaoli and said: "You are the first group president we sent to the United States, Tianfan can't stay in the United States all the time, so in addition to handling the affairs of the group, you must also be familiar with other industries in the United States under my umbrella." ”
Peng Xiaoli is now stunned by a huge surprise, she has just been promoted to the president of the group, if it weren't for the fact that the vice presidents of several other major groups can't be transferred for the time being, how can she have her own opportunities. I didn't expect that this would make me ready to be in charge of other industries in the United States, so would I be far from the opportunity of Lee's executive team?
Peng Xiaoli said happily: "Li Sheng, rest assured, I will follow Yuan Sheng to study hard and strive to improve my ability, so that I can support the development of our company in the United States in the future." ”
"I'm going to tell you about it in advance, so that you can be prepared, especially the venture capital company that I'm about to set up in Santa Clara, which will be our top priority in the future, and you must know more about the affairs over there. Li Guangyu advised.
"Okay, Mr. Li, I will often go to the company there to learn and understand the company's investment dynamics. Peng Xiaoli said.
In the evening, in Li Guangyu's room, Chen Dong was reporting to Li Guangyu on the results achieved in the past few days, as well as the targets he was looking for to acquire.
"Mr. Li, we are already in communication with the designers of some large apparel groups in the United States, and I think we will have results soon. Chen Dong said.
"Uncle Chen, if the designers in the United States are not willing to work in Xiangjiang, we can set up a studio here for their office, and with the design products, we will send them back to Xiangjiang for production. Li Guangyu considered that designers on the American side may not be willing to leave the United States, so he said to Chen Dong.
"Okay Li Sheng, I will try my best to persuade them to go to work in Xiangjiang, and if they really don't want to, we will set up a studio in the United States. ”
"Uncle Chen, how is your inspection of the acquisition of the shoe company?" asked Li Guangyu.
"Li Sheng, I already have a goal, and I haven't negotiated with that company yet, but the price is a bit expensive. Chen Dong said.
Li Guangyu heard that Chen Dong had found a target so quickly, and he was also a little curious about which brand he had fallen into.
"Uncle Chen, which company do you fall into?"
Chen Dong replied: "Li Sheng, I have taken a fancy to Converse in Boston, they have good design technology and production experience in sports series. ”
When Li Guangyu heard Converse, he seriously doubted whether he could buy it, you must know that Converse is very famous now, and the Converse family may not be sold.
"Uncle Chen, I'm afraid this company is not easy to discuss, do you have any alternatives?" Li Guangyu really didn't have much confidence in acquiring Converse.
"Li Sheng, we either buy a larger brand, or simply build it ourselves, we don't have much effect on acquiring small brands, small companies don't have much technical content, it's better for us to develop them ourselves." Chen Dong said.
After listening to Chen Dong's words, Li Guangyu also felt that it made sense, buying a small company was a complete waste of money, and it was better to build a brand by himself and then go to a large company to poach people.
"Uncle Chen, you go and talk to Converse first, if it is the best, if it doesn't work, we will set up a brand by ourselves, and then go to major companies to find talents. Li Guangyu said.
"I know, Mr. Lee. Chen Dong replied.
