After explaining to the heads of RB's various group branches, Lee Kwang-woo boarded a flight from Tokyo to Los Angeles on April 15.

And when Li Guangyu arrived in the United States, it was still the 15th, and he flew for more than 20 hours, and it is still this day.

Lee Guangyu did not hold a meeting of the senior management of the U.S. branch today, but planned to hold it again tomorrow morning, after all, it was already 5 p.m. Los Angeles time.

After Li Guangyu washed up in the hotel, he asked Li Xuelan to book a few tickets for the Lakers.

Li Guangyu liked to watch the NBA very much in his previous life, especially in junior high school, when the Lakers were in full swing, and the Lakers with Kobe Gasol won two championships in a row. At that time, Li Guangyu thought that he had the opportunity to go to the Lakers' home court to watch a game.

And now Li Guangyu finally has such an opportunity, and Li Guangyu also plans to buy a team. With his own understanding of the NBA, he can choose some players, and the team's results are not good, and then Li Guangyu also plans to develop sports series and footwear products for clothing brands.

Today's Nike doesn't have Jordan, and it hasn't flown into the sky yet, so he cut him off. Anyway, it was an American company that cut off the beard, and Li Guangyu didn't do anything in his heart. In the future, if Nike enters such a big market in the mainland, it is better for me to enter.

When Li Xuelan came back from booking tickets, Li Guangyu learned that at 7 p.m. the day after tomorrow at the Great Western Forum Arena, the Lakers played the first home game of the playoffs against the Nuggets.

Li Guangyu sighed, fortunately, the Lakers entered the playoffs, otherwise there would be no hope of watching the Lakers' games at the Lakers' home court this year.

Li Guangyu slept long enough on the plane, although it was already night, Li Guangyu did not feel sleepy at all. Lee pondered to see which team he could get in the bag, preferably from California.

The next morning, Li Guangyu listened to the reports of various group branches in the United States and made some arrangements, including asking him to cooperate with Li Xuelan in investigating the situation of several NBA teams in California.

......

"Mr. Lee, right now the Lakers owner is in talks with Jerry Buss about selling the team. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xuelan hurriedly walked in and said.

Li Guangyu was overjoyed when he heard that the current Lakers did not belong to the Bass family. In his previous life, Li Guangyu always thought that the Lakers belonged to the Bass family, and he never thought of buying the Lakers, but now that there is such an opportunity, how could Li Guangyu give up.

"Xue Lan, you make an appointment with the owner of the Lakers for me, and I want to talk to him about the team's acquisition. Li Guangyu commanded.

"Okay, Li Sheng, I'll go and get in touch. After Li Xuelan finished speaking, she walked out.

Li Guangyu didn't care how Li Xuelan did it, he was now looking at some information about the company in the US branch, as well as important documents.

Li Guangyu is not very satisfied with the development of the United States, although because of cultural and other reasons, but it is not that such a large market is not as profitable as RB, the unit price profit of products here is much higher than that of RB, but the total profit is far from RB.

Li Guangyu felt the need to have a senior executive stationed in the United States to take full charge of the business of all his companies, and in the future, he would establish venture capital in Silicon Valley, which is the gold mining center, as long as he got the shares of a few companies in the early stage, and waited for the money to be counted later.

Li Guangyu thought about the company's top management, either it was inseparable, or it was not suitable, and there was a shortage of people. Li Guangyu did not help with this, and this is the disadvantage of the company's rapid development.

On the morning of April 17, Li Guangyu met with Lakers owner Wyndvin Jennis.

Li Guangyu said: "Hello, Mr. Janice. ”

"Mr. Li, welcome to my home. Wyndwen Jennith said.

"Mr. Jenens, do you have any plans to sell the Lakers?"

"Mr. Lee is really well-informed, what, you are also interested in my Lakers?" Wyndwen Jennis, of course, wants Lee Kuang-woo to be involved in buying his team so that he can sell it for a higher price.

As soon as Lee heard him say this, he knew that he definitely hadn't negotiated with Jerry Buss yet, which gave Lee a better chance of buying the Lakers.

"Yes, Mr. Jennys, I love basketball too, so I'm ready to buy an NBA team. I just heard that you have a desire to do this, so I have come to visit you today. Li Guangyu said.

Instead of immediately answering Lee's request, Wyndwen Janis said, "Mr. Jerry Buss is buying the Atlantic Forum Arena from Will Mitty at the same time as he buys the team from Will Mitty."

Li Guangyu knows that it is not enough to just buy the Lakers now, and now he has to buy them together. But now at this time, it is not a loss to buy, think about the market value of the Lakers in the future, Li Guangyu will earn, not to mention that with him to choose some players, the market value of the team will be higher in the future.

"Mr. Jennis, at what price are you and Mr. Mitty going to sell?" asked Li Guangyu.

Wynvin Jennith didn't expect Li Guangyu to still buy it when he heard this, looking at Li Guangyu so young, he only felt that he was the son of a big family in the East.

"Mr. Li, since you have the intention of buying the teams and venues in our hands, then I will not quote a high price with you, you can invest 100 million in our two teams and venues. Wyndwen Jennith said.

Li Guangyu didn't expect Wyndwen Jennifer to open his mouth for $100 million, which is not a high price. I don't know this, Li Guangyu has already inquired about Jerry Bass's offer, and it is only $55 million. It's because the bid didn't meet expectations, so the deal hasn't been made yet. But even then it would be less than 100 million.

Li Guang said: "Mr. Jennis, your asking price is too high, I heard that Mr. Jerry Bass's bid is not too high. ”

When Wynvin Jennith heard Li Guangyu say this, she knew that she couldn't blind Li Guangyu. So he said, "Mr. Li, how much are you going to contribute?"

"Mr. Jennis, how about 60 million, that's already a very high price. Li Guangyu returned.

"Mr. Li, you are seriously underestimating the value of our two teams and the stadium, and we can't sell them at such a price. ”

Li Guangyu asked, "Mr. Jennis, what is the price of your sincere offer?"

"Mr. Li, how about 90 million, you must know that our Lakers are playing in the playoffs now, and his prospects and market have a lot of room for improvement, and it is definitely worth the price. Wyndwen Jennith said.

Of course, Li Guangyu knows the value of the Lakers later, but now he is not the later Laker, and Li Guangyu does not need to send so much money out for nothing.

"Mr. Janice, I'm raising five million, how about I buy your two teams and stadiums for sixty-five million?"

Although this price has been able to reach the bottom line of sale, Wyndwen Jennith knows that Li Guangyu will definitely be able to go up a little.

"Mr. Li, otherwise, we will be 80 million, and we will sell you the two teams and venues for 80 million. ”

......

In the end, Lee Guangyu and Wyndwen Janis reached a deal for 70 million. Li Guangyu and Wyndwen Jennith agreed to sign the contract in the afternoon, and after Li Guangyu finished talking with Wyndwen Jennis, he immediately asked Li Xuelan to inform her sister to transfer $100 million from the group's account.
