Chapter 1015: Will They Be Affected!
In Los Angeles, the Lakers secretly changed their owners, and the outside world knew nothing, and some senior executives inside naturally knew about it, but the new owner and the old owner severely blocked the news at the same time.
The management remains unchanged, which makes the Los Angeles Lakers team look like the same as usual.
I don't know that it has changed the boss behind the scenes.
The old Bass family sold the money from the Lakers to pay off the debts of the family company, because the family business suffered serious losses, which is also the reason why Li Jun took the opportunity to touch the fish, and if the old Bass family borrowed a huge amount of money from the bank, then they would not sell the Lakers again.
But there is no if.
In fact, both now and in the future, many NBA teams are not very profitable, but why NBA teams continue to rise every year is because the owners of NBA teams, they do not regard the team as their main industry, most of them operate other huge industries.
Because the pure NBA team is now a lot of cash loss, because the development of the NBA at this time is far from being as good as in later generations, the NBA market is only concentrated in the United States for the time being, and there is almost no overseas market.
So many NBA teams in this era are losing money, which is why the old Bass family wants to make a move.
Even if they lose money in later generations, the owners of those NBA teams still invest large sums of money, which is why, this is because they can make money in other industries by relying on the influence of their NBA teams.
For example, Detroit Pistons owner Tom, whose business empire is private equity.
Orlando Magic owner Richard, whose fortune comes primarily from Amway.
The Cavaliers' owner, Daniel, has a lot of money coming from quick loans.
The Denver Nuggets' owner's fortune comes primarily from real estate.
The Miami Heat's owner, Tom Fortune, comes from its Carnival Cruises.
……
The richest bosses are still a few partners from Microsoft who started a business with Bill Gates.
For example, Paul Allen, the boss of the Pioneers, has no knowledge of the software overlord Microsoft, and there are no people who use computers, and the name of Chairman Bill Gates is well known to women and children, but the credit is not Gates alone.
Bill Gates founded only 60% of Microsoft, and the rest belongs to Paul Allen.
Paul Allen's father's job provided him with good conditions for studying, and he was an assistant administrator at the University of Washington Library, because of this unique condition, Allen read many books, including science fiction and computer literacy, which may have been the key to his success. In middle school, Alan became obsessed with computers, and because of this common hobby, Alan became good friends with Gates, who was two grades below him, and they often studied and discussed computers together, and even competed in programming. This gave Allen an indelible merit to later success.
In 1975, they founded Microsoft Corporation, and as founder, Allen owned 40% of the shares. Noting the importance of the PC operating system, Allen was able to acquire the rights to use SCP-DOS from Seattle Computer Corporation, which allowed IBM to confirm the strength of Microsoft's humble small company, which allowed him to work with IBM and lay the groundwork for the later acquisition of SCP-DOS ownership.
Arguably, Allen made Microsoft take the first step towards success.
Since then, Microsoft has gradually become stronger with the efforts of the two. DOS became the operating system of choice for PCs.
Sadly, after ten years in business, Alan finished his last work for Microsoft: a new BASIC language, and had to leave Microsoft because he was diagnosed with some kind of cancerous syndrome and later started his own company. But he still holds a stake in the company and is Microsoft's second-largest shareholder.
But Bill Gates' legacy overshadowed Paul Allen's achievements, but as the founder of Microsoft and the second largest shareholder, his fortune is also quite staggering.
In addition to Paul, the big NBA owner, there is also a Steve Ballmer with a net worth of more than $30 billion, who is the owner of the Clippers.
Ballmer joined Microsoft in 1980 and served as executive vice president of sales support and president of Microsoft Corporation. He was the first commercial manager hired by Bill Gates.
He owns 4 percent of Microsoft, and his fortune in his life is more than $40 billion.
In later life, he made a bid of $2 billion to buy the Los Angeles Clippers.
Therefore, Li Jun's purchase of the NBA team may not be for the sake of how much cash cows he earns every year in the future, but to expand the influence of other companies for him.
After completing the Lakers' acquisition, Li Jun inspected the Lakers' training ground.
Because Li Jun is low-key externally, it does not mean that he is also low-key internally.
Entering the training ground, the cheerleaders took the lead in giving a vigorous welcome to the new owner.
A group of sexy cheerleading beauties writhed to the music, and their lower bodies were all wearing super shorts, and their bodies were so hot.
The NBA court is a man's world, but the cheerleading beauties of each team are a beautiful scenery during the break.
The cheerleaders dance their own choreographed dance, not only the music is selected vigorously, but the people also dance vigorously, showing themselves and showing their personality, which complements the fierceness of the game and can make the fans present always be emotional.
……
Now the Lakers, these cheerleading beauties, make it feel like a man, and their hearts will ripple when they see it, how can they stand this group of basketball players......
"Will they affect the players' play?"
Li Jun asked.
"BOSS, this? The NBA league has a clear rule that NBA players cannot have contact with cheerleaders without permission, and it is not allowed to fall in love with cheerleaders. ”
"How can this be forbidden, they interact in private, how do you know?"
If they are caught associating with NBA players, then the cheerleaders will be immediately expelled. And the selection of cheerleaders is very strict, in addition to the requirements for appearance, dance skills, and the innocence of past experience. ”
Old Bass explained to Li Jun about the selection of cheerleaders, which was not inferior to the selection of players.
In the United States, girls who love basketball have two dreams: first, to become a WNBA or Olympic champion, and second, to become a cheerleader on their favorite team. Cheerleading in the NBA is an enviable job for girls, not only because they can watch NBA games for free up close, but more importantly, they can enjoy the cheers of tens of thousands of fans on their home court in the most beautiful way, no less than the superstars on the court.
There are many people who sign up, thousands of them, and they need to pass many hurdles to become cheergirls.
"That's right. ”
