Chapter 645: Darkness Chen Cang!(Second Update: Asking for a Subscription!Asking for a Monthly Pass!)
The Lakers are valued at 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
It doesn't matter if you don't have so much cash, there are so many rich people and second generations in China, and some people are willing to participate.
Wanda spent $3.5 billion on the acquisition of Legendary Pictures, and he really had so much cash to squander.
Of the 3.5 billion, 1.5 billion was raised by the outside world, and once Legendary Pictures could not be listed within a year, Lao Wang would have to return the borrowed funds and pay 15% interest.
Of course, later Legendary Pictures did not go public.
1.5 billion to buy the Lakers worth 1 billion, a lot of people are willing to pay for cooperation.
Moreover, next year, the NBA will re-sign the broadcast contract, and the broadcast rights will be sold to $24 billion, and the Lakers' valuation will soar to $2.6 billion in 15 years.
Tang An is telling the truth, but Old Bass will definitely not sell, this is not a team, and the influence in it is worth more than a billion dollars.
Later, there were constant rumors that domestic billionaires wanted to buy NBA teams, and there were only two who really did it.
The first was when Jiang Lizhang, the founder of Double-edged Sword Sports, bought a 5% stake in the Timberwolves, becoming the first Chinese shareholder in the NBA, and later bought a La Liga and a Serie A team.
The other is Tsai Chongxin, who personally bought a 49% stake in the Nets, which was valued at $2.3 billion at the time.
As soon as the news came out at that time, netizens laughed that the Brooklyn Nets could be renamed the Brooklyn Tmalls.
Wealthy domestic businessmen still buy more football teams in Europe, and a total of 19 teams have been bought in leagues at all levels.
Two years ago, a Russian tycoon bought the NBA's New Jersey Nets and immediately moved to Brooklyn, a suburb of New York, and built a large stadium.
For others, a few hundred million dollars is nothing, and what they value is their influence in North America.
The Singaporean bigwig Li Longfu wanted to buy a Premier League team for this and expand his influence, and this time he frequently appeared on TV shows with "Crazy Asian Rich", which was not for influence.
However, looking at the expressions of the reporters at the scene, the vast majority of people obviously thought that Tang An was bragging.
Bragging is too big, and it is an insult to the object of the bragging.
It's clear that these reporters believe Don Ann has insulted one of the greatest teams in the greater Los Angeles area.
They don't know Tang An's specific net worth, a Chinese director, even if he makes a few good movies, no one digs into him.
Lussonbeck is a famous European director and owns Europa Films, but how many people know how much he is worth?
and Peter Jackson, everyone knows that he filmed the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and there is a Weta Digital, but how many domestic entertainment reporters can tell his net worth?
Spielberg has been ranked in the top 500 of the world's Forbes rich list in recent years, how many domestic entertainment reporters will go to check? How many reporters can tell his net worth?
......
A reporter said in a somewhat unkind tone, "Mr. Tang, the Los Angeles Lakers are the oldest team in the NBA, worth more than a billion dollars, but they can't be compared to your Chinese team!"
"Do you know what the concept of a billion dollars is, even Twentieth Century Fox can't come up with that much money at once!"
The reporter was a little unkind.
"If Mr. Tang can buy the Lakers, I can buy Disney tomorrow!"
As soon as the words fell, the reporter's words were immediately greeted with a burst of laughter.
Disney is a massive conglomerate worth tens of billions of dollars, and that reporter is also a reporter for Disney's own media.
......
Some reporters unceremoniously began to ridicule Tang Anlai, Tang An looked as usual, but Zhang Yi, Liu Ye, Yang Mi and others behind him looked a little unsightly when they heard these mockery.
The stars who were already preparing to go in front, as well as some celebrities who arrived one after another on the right, heard Tang An's words, and they also didn't know much about Tang An, purely because this banquet was attended by several senior executives of major companies and some big producers, so they came.
Listening to Tang An's threat to buy the Lakers, many people showed undisguised ridicule.
You know, some second-tier stars have a hard time getting a ticket to the front row of a Lakers home game!
Arrogant and ignorant Chinese.
Quite a few people have the word in their heads, and they stop where they are, ready to look at the joke.
"Ryan, did you hear that, oh my God, that Huaguo director actually wants to buy the Lakers, and when the time comes, we have to ask him to give us two tickets in the front row. ”
A young white man said to the other next to him, with an exaggerated smile on his face, one hand on Ryan's arm, and the other hand holding his stomach, as if he had heard some great joke.
"It seems that he is just a liar, and "Deadpool" is completely hopeless. ”
Ryan Reynolds, who had just hit the streets of "Underworld Police Station", shook his head, his eyes full of disappointment.
He didn't believe it when he heard that Tang An was going to invest before, but during this time, there was a lot of news about Tang An's investment in movies, and his hope was rekindled.
But now that I look at it, it's just a charlatan who runs the train with his mouth.
In the face of the ridicule of these reporters, Tang An did not care at all, and he asked the reporter of Disney, who threatened to buy Disney.
"This reporter, have you paid attention to the 2013 global Forbes list that came out in March this year?"
"Of course, five of the top seven are from the United States. The Disney reporter was full of pride.
Tang An was speechless, the first place was not mentioned by the Mexican communication tycoon, and the eighty and ninetieth French and Xiangjiang tycoons were not mentioned, and the top seven were just drawn.
"I suggest you look it up at number 299 on the list. Tang An smiled.
There must be two or three reporters on the scene who have had an in-depth understanding of Tang An, but most reporters will not look up too much about a director from China, and Forbes will not report specifically for Tang An.
But listening to Tang An's tone, someone immediately picked up the phone and quickly swiped on the screen.
"Oh buy karma!"
The vast majority of unknown journalists look like they've seen a ghost.
At the 299th place on the list, there are several people tied for 299th with assets of $4.3 billion, including Tang An from China.
The name may be exactly the same, but the word media is written in the industry information column, and the age is clearly 33 years old.
There can't be two billionaires with the same name, the same age, and the same industry.
Looking at Tang An again, with his net worth of $4.3 billion, spending $1.5 billion to buy a team is by no means bragging.
However, in the profession of being a journalist, there is no one who is thin-skinned, and there is no one who will not change his face.
After a brief period of frustration, the scene was noisy again.
"Mr. Tang, do you really want to buy the Lakers?"
"Mr. Tang, do you want to enter the sports circle, and besides NBA teams, which teams are you interested in?"
"As a fan of Kobe, what will you do after buying the Lakers, will you configure a championship lineup for him?"
......
Huaguo billionaires want to buy the Los Angeles Lakers, what good news, enough to set off a lot of topics in the entire Greater Los Angeles area, and even the entire United States.
Fans in Los Angeles won't agree, and when the time comes, the hype will be on the front page for a week or two!
The reporters at the scene instantly changed the topic, what Singaporean tycoon, let's die, how can Tang An be shocked to buy the Lakers.
As long as the report comes out tomorrow, all Lakers fans will probably scold their mothers.
But reporters don't care, no matter what country the journalist is, there is no such thing as discipline.
Once a well-known NBC TV presenter, he said that the helicopter he was riding in Iraco in '03 was hit by an RPG in the desert, and later spent several days together with the soldiers of the United States in a sandstorm. Thank you to these brave fighters for fighting for the country blabla.......
This host is estimated to have watched too much of "Black Hawk Down", and he ran the train with his mouth full.
But then the veteran who flew the helicopter said, "Saorui, buddy, I don't remember you on my plane." I remember you came an hour after we landed and asked us what was going on, and then you took the guy on another plane and ran away to report your war story. And we Nima are in the desert of Irako trying to fix our planes, waiting for our security forces.
This B face is really hitting Pia Pia... And this anchor prevaricates with the so-called amnesia. It is said that at that time, it was deeply affected by the RPG explosion, and there was a memory bias.
At noon, the anchors of CNN News couldn't stand it. Say Nima, you are 45 minutes away from another plane, and you are influenced by Nimei.
The media in the United States is far less disciplined than the domestic media, and these big TV stations have all kinds of fraud, at least CCTV is selective reporting, and there seems to be no such thing as fraud. (I don't know if it's fake, it doesn't seem to be, please don't slap your face...) )
......
Tang An no longer entangled with reporters, and walked into the hotel under the shocked eyes of many reporters and celebrities on the scene.
"Brother An, do you really want to buy the Lakers?" Yang Mi behind him asked in a low voice, looking curious.
"It's impossible to sell Bath, but if you're willing to sell, I don't mind taking it, those second-generation people in China have money, so they lack such "playthings"" Tang An shook his head.
Even if you want to buy it, you can't spend most of it, and this money is of great use, and it can't be wasted on a Lakers, no matter how influential it is.
Tang An turned his head and asked Zhang Yi, "Has the Xinke side negotiated?"
"It's still talking, and it's estimated that there will be results in two days, but it may be two or three times the premium. Zhang Yidao.
"Three times is three times, what about Open Road Pictures?"
"I've sent someone over there to negotiate, and there are still some details. ”
Tang An nodded, "Hurry up." ”
"By the way, chairman, I heard that Ye Twist is coming, it seems that Wanda is going to make a big deal again. Zhang Yi said again.
"Leave him alone, Vanda's goals are different from ours. Tang An waved his hand.
This time in North America, Tang An has a more important matter.
Acquired a Hollywood production company with independent production capabilities, and a distribution company with DVD distribution and theatrical distribution capabilities.
The targets have been found, Open Road Pictures and Midnight Investment Company, the former has a relatively complete distribution channel, the latter is mainly based on Lightning Entertainment, has independent production capabilities, and has produced films such as "Bomb Disposal Unit", and "Dallas Buyers Club", which was released in November this year, was also produced by Lightning Entertainment.
Midnight Investment Company or a domestic copper mining company, Xinke Group, came to the door to cooperate, and the other party has acquired Chang'an Mengzhou Film and Television in China, which is the company that produced "Snow Leopard", "Black Fox" and "Blue Wolf".
Now it's not easy to mix in any industry, I don't know how many companies have changed careers, and the copper mining of Xinke Group is not easy to do, and it is seeking transformation and is eyeing the film and television industry.
There must be a distribution channel in North America, even if it is far inferior to a few giants, it is as if most of the profits have been taken by the other party.
And in the future, more and more domestic films will enter the Hollywood market!
As for Ye Twist coming over this time, it is estimated that he contacted Legendary Pictures in advance, and Legendary Pictures had just had a conflict with Warner.
Yang Mi and Liu Ye listened to the conversation between Tang An and Zhang Yi with puzzled faces, but they would not ask about these business matters.
Zhang Yi now understands Tang An's purpose of deliberately saying that he wants to buy the Lakers.
Compared with the Lakers, the influence of these two film companies is no longer at the same level at all, and everyone will be paying attention to the news of Tang An's acquisition of the Lakers.
And those big companies in Hollywood will not pay too much attention to it, and it is estimated that Tang An is regarded as a big dog.
Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang!
And Ye Twist is here again, Wanda who acquired AMC Cinemas will definitely not make a small fuss, it is estimated that there is really a big move, and several major companies will definitely be staring at Ye Twist.
The chairman is so tall!
Zhang Yi secretly admired, and at the same time fantasized about winning these two companies and going to which one he could go.
