078 Golf negotiations
"Little John, you invited us all here, it's not like doing business, what are you going to do?" Old Bas waved a golf club and said to Li Feng on the side with a smile after playing the ball.
"Haha... Otherwise, old Bass, you see that we are all on the golf course, and we will be represented by Mr. Tiger Woods, and you can all play together, and if I win, you will all agree to my request. ”
"Fuck off, who doesn't know Little Tiger's golf skills, then we might as well surrender directly. Old Bass then laughed and scolded.
"Stan, Mr. O'Malley, what do you think?" Li Feng then asked with a wicked smile on his face, at Stan Clark and O'Malley's family.
"John, we've been hearing about your name for a long time, and now we've finally seen it, and it's really amazing, I'll bet with you next time we find a good golfer, and forget it this time..." ”
"Yes, Stan is right, John, you and I both have the same John, but you can't take advantage of us," John O'Marley replied with a smile.
"Haha... , little John, you're deflated. Old Bas then burst out laughing, and then said with a smile.
Obviously, the crowd was joking, but they also began to exchange ideas in the midst of jokes. Everyone knows the meaning of meeting today, and Anschutz roughly understood it when he contacted them before, and Li Feng wanted the team shares in their hands.
……
"Guys, maybe I'm young, so don't mind if there's anything wrong, start with Mr. Bass.
Old Buss, I want your stake in the Kings and the Lakers, tell me if it's possible for us to work together. ”
"No way, I'm not going to let go of the Lakers. Old Bass replied.
"Old Bass, you should also know my situation, whether it is the managers or partners I work with, they are very happy to work together, even if I do buy the team, in fact, if you are interested in management, the team can still be implemented according to your plan, I only need a name.
There are also things that I can accept from you, such as the Spark team that is about to set up a loss-making team, and the kings who are losing money one after another, etc., and our real estate companies can also cooperate, the world is so big, we shouldn't cooperate and go out of Los Angeles and California. ”
"And how are you going to cooperate?" replied Old Bass in a deep voice, after a long contemplation.
"You see if this will work, next our new sports center will be built, I can let you get a part of the shares, participate in the operation of the center, as for the current forum stadium, it still belongs to you.
In fact, you should also know that running a sports team is not very profitable to be honest, but the influence is huge, and as for me, the rise time is too short, and it is only a little more than 2 years to play, but this aspect is the most lacking, so this is the reason why I want to get the team.
So, I'm determined to give you a face, but if you're interested in running the team, I can completely delegate that to you, and I can promise that, after all, I don't have the time to think about the team's operation.
I want the Kings and the Lakers to have a controlling stake in each other, and we become partners, and I know that your focus is on the Lakers, and the Lakers are still run by you, and if you can agree with me, then we can arrange for people to contact and negotiate. And I want to have my many groups behind me, such as the media group, and we will be able to succeed in our sports projects. ”
Li Feng took into account the influence of the old Bass in the field of sports and the influence of the Bass family in Los Angeles, so he changed his strategy slightly, and at first he directly thought about buying the team in Bath's hands.
……
"John, I won't talk about anything else, but there is nothing wrong with our Dodgers, the family has made a decision to sell the Dodgers, and we can't wait if you want to compete, but now there are contacts from New York, and Murdoch's News Corp. has also contacted us, it depends on how you compete with the two parties. ”
Perhaps because he heard the toughness of Li Feng's words and the scene was a little quiet, O'Malley's ruler replied with a smile to avoid embarrassment in the field.
"Oh, and I know how dirty the Dodgers were when they moved from New York to Los Angeles, and I think it's not a good option for you to sell to the New Yorkers again, either for the sake of the fans or for your Omari family.
Therefore, in my opinion, your trading partner should be Murdoch, this is my old friend, and shrewd, I think my price should be higher than his, people are more sensible, after all, I am old, and I am still young, young people are impulsive at all.
Another point is that I think like the old Bass, the O'Malley family is also a real estate developer, we must have the opportunity to cooperate, I think Skyline Real Estate, O'Malley Real Estate, and Bath Real Estate can form an alliance and advance and retreat together in the real estate industry, which should be a good proposal. Li Feng replied with a smile.
Talking about the situation of Dodge, we really have to start with the history of Dodge, when the old O'Malley bought Dodger, he was also a real estate family in New York, but unfortunately after a competition with competitors, he had to go to Los Angeles, including the New York government, it can be said that the O'Malley family is not very friendly to New York and the New York government.
In fact, in 98, Dodge was finally sold to Murdoch, and the price was much lower than the bid of a visitor from New York, which shows the O'Malley family's hatred for New York.
Listening to Li Feng's words, O'Malley smiled and shrugged his shoulders to express his casual meaning, but Li Feng still saw the meaning of appreciation in his eyes, which made Li Feng also full of appreciation. Obviously, Li Feng's rhetoric should have moved people, especially in the form of real estate alliances later.
……
"Stan, I'm really new to you, and we're meeting for the first time, but I think your ram is a bit of a waste in that small city, and it's a shame for Los Angeles to have no football team in a big city like Los Angeles that is famous in the United States and even the world.
I've heard a few things about you, and obviously, if you can bring the Rams back to Los Angeles again, they're going to be the new city heroes, and I wonder if Stan would like to give it a try, but going back to Los Angeles is the best option for the team and for the individual.
Also, I don't mind working with you, I know you own 40% of the shares, but you have priority for the remaining 60%.
I hope you can transfer the priority to me and I will buy the remaining 60%, and I hope that through our cooperation, the Rams will become the best team in the league, which is the goal of the Los Angeles team. ”
"If that's the case, then what's in it for me?" Stan asked directly with a smile after hearing Li Feng's words.
"First of all, Stan, you're going to get my friendship, I'm also half Chinese, I personally value friends, I think my friendship is very valuable.
Second, in the future, we can also cooperate in the field of sports, I think your sports career is not only in the United States, I also have such a global layout thinking, such as European football, etc., whether in the United States or in the world, we have the possibility of cooperation. Li Feng replied with a smile.
……
"John, I've heard that your company has started its first round of funding, and I want a funding qualification. Stanclark laughed suddenly.
"So, it's decided, and I think we'll have a good time working together. Li Feng thought about it for a while, and then agreed.
After chatting with the three of them for a while, it was clear that O'Malley and Stan should not have much of a problem, and now the biggest problem was still focused on old Bass.
"Old Bass, you see, Stan and O'Malley have already negotiated, so what do you think?" At this time, Li Feng turned his head again and smiled at Old Bass.
"Little John, you're really good, we can talk, but I'm like Stan, I want to get the right to invest in Flycom. Old Bass thought about it for a moment and then replied.
I have to say that with the rise of the Internet, Li Feng's Feixun is too eye-catching, and the name of being known as the second largest Internet company is not blown.
"Old Bass, to be honest, Stan's investment rights are of course due to the team, in fact, it is also the reason of the Wharton family behind him, everyone, don't mind if I say it so bluntly, whether it is the Bass family or the O'Malley family, the influence is still small, we can reach a real estate project cooperation, I think it's good.
However, since Mr. Bass and Mr. O'Malley can reach a cooperation agreement with me, I am not an unsympathetic person, don't worry, I have a new Internet project in the future, I will count two of them, what do you think?"
Sure enough, after listening to Li Feng's words, Old Bass and O'Malley's faces were not very good, but thinking that Li Feng said that the rest of the projects in the future would be counted as one for two people, they regained their smiles, and finally sighed. Stan shrugged helplessly, saying that it didn't matter, who made him lucky, his wife was Sam Wharton's daughter, and Stan would not be ashamed of his wife, but proud.
