"BOSS, it seems that you are very idle!"

Just as Li Feng was bored and wondering if he should go somewhere to sit, after all, he had walked around and came down, and his legs were sore when he was standing all the time. Unexpectedly, Michael Ovitz appeared out of nowhere, and at the same time, there were two people who were unexpected by Li Feng.

"Michael, I'm thinking about where you've been, how about it, do you have a promising target for today's catwalk?" Li Feng quipped with a smile.

"BOSS, forget it, where do I have a goal, I just want to find a few supermodels for the company, by the way, BOSS, Mr. Mark, you won't be a stranger. Michael Ovitz replied with a wry smile as he introduced himself to the two people around him.

"Mr. Mark, it's been a long time, it's an honor to see you again, isn't this our Mr. Tiger?"

That's right, with Ovitz is none other than Mark McCormack, the founder of IMG, and Tiger Woods, the future first man in golf, who Li Feng remembered before.

IMG's boss won't talk about it, Li Feng had the idea of acquiring IMG before, but unfortunately it was rejected, and after stabilizing CAA, he started IMG's mind again, and he was ready to merge CAA with IMG, but Mark McCormack, the founder of IMG and a sports boss, was rejected again.

As for Tiger Woods, this guy is a real golf prodigy, who has quickly adapted to professional golf since he started playing professional golf last summer, and has worked his way up the ladder to win his first tour title in October last year.

Li Feng is well aware that the next golf game has entered the Tiger Woods era, and the superstar's ability to make money is also surprising.

……

It can be said that in the late 90s and early 20th years, Tiger Woods was in the top few on the list of athletes' earning power every year, either the basketball god Jordan, the car king Schumacher, and then Tiger Woods.

Well, a basketball god, a car king, and a golf king, from a business point of view, Tiger Woods is the most successful business operation, after all, golf is indeed a little worse than basketball and F1 in terms of influence.

But Tiger Woods, who is a golfer, has become the world's most profitable athlete many times, and I have to admire the business operation team behind him, that is, IMG's business team.

"Mr. Li, hello, I can't compare with you, the name of the Holy Son of Wealth is now resounding all over the United States and even the world, and I want your Mr. Li to help me more in the future." Mark McCormack said a little lost and quite sentimental at this time.

"BOSS, Mr. Mark fainted a few days ago, and it was a heart attack. Seeing Li Feng's doubts, Ovitz explained on the side.

"Oh..."

Listening to Li Feng's simple 'oh', Ovitz explained again: "BOSS, it's an old problem, Mr. Mark had a heart attack before, this time it came more suddenly, and the doctor has issued a critical illness notice, finally Mr. Mark is lucky and survived."

However, the doctor advised that he should not be busy with work anymore, and that Mr. Mark should be allowed to retire early. ”

At this time, Li Feng remembered that in his memory of his previous life, wasn't it not long after that the big man in the sports world hung up because of a heart attack, it seems that he had a sudden attack before he hung up.

Next, Li Feng was naturally enthusiastic and comforted, the big guy on crutches put away the loss but said that there was no problem, even if he went to see God, the old man himself had no regrets Yunyun, quite a bit of a calm feeling.

However, Li Feng still felt the hero's shortness of breath from his words, obviously he was not very old, but unfortunately his body was not good, and there must be depression in it, otherwise he would not have been so disappointed when he first talked to Li Feng.

……

"BOSS, didn't you ask us to pay attention to IMG before, we also received news after Mr. Mark's accident this time, and we also visited Mr. Mark after this time, and I also had detailed discussions with Mr. Mark, and finally we reached a preliminary agreement to merge CAA and IMG, and I came mainly for this matter this time. ”

"Really?" Li Feng asked Mark McCormack in surprise.

"Sure, I thought about the decision I made for a long time after this accident. Mark McCormack finally nodded affirmatively and replied.

It turned out that after Mark fell down because of a heart attack, it caused IMG's chaos and panic, and there was no successor in Mark's family, and the second generation was not capable enough, so he originally thought about the manager, but this time Ovitz personally came to negotiate, but it was a good time, Mark was worried that if he suddenly had an accident, IMG, which had spent a lifetime of hard work, might really be finished.

For these entrepreneurs in Europe and the United States, sometimes the idea of being able to continue the business is more important than the so-called family control, so after Ovitz came to the door again for a deep talk, Mark finally agreed to try to talk.

What Li Feng didn't know was that after Mark's death in 03, IMG was acquired by Teddy Fosterman, a famous strategic investment tycoon on Wall Street, for $750 million in 04.

Later, in 11 years, Teddy Fosterman also died, and in 13 years, IMG was acquired by William Morris Endeavour Agency, a veteran Hollywood agency, and Silver Lake, a private equity fund, for $2.4 billion.

Therefore, Li Feng is naturally interested in merging IMG, and the major brokerage companies at this time have not yet developed across industries, and Li Feng's brokerage company can be regarded as the first crab.

However, the fashion entertainment spanning from film and television is relatively simple, and the span from media entertainment to sports is a bit large, and this is the first time such a thing, so both Ovitz and Mark McCormack are very cautious.

……

The group of four walked to the corner of the banquet hall, and then began to chat, at this time Li Feng also understood why Mark had brought Tiger Woods with him.

It turned out that Mark said that he was very optimistic about Woods, had the qualifications to become the first person in golf, and also had a detailed business plan and promotion plan, but if it was really merged, Mark hoped to continue to implement the previous customized plan.

Obviously, Mark values Tiger Woods very much, and even cultivates Woods's future IMG signboard, but the future also proves that Woods has not failed others' efforts, and has indeed become one of IMG's future signboards and even one of the legends in the world sports world.

After some chatting, an agreement was basically reached, that is, the two companies merged to form a new CAA-IMG (Innovative Elite Culture International Management Company), which is actually CAA's acquisition of IMG, but IMG is not all acquired with cash, but in the form of equity and cash.

As for the specific situation, it is not something that a few people can decide with a hot mind, and it requires a professional team to negotiate and so on, but as long as you have this will, you can finally solve the biggest difficulty.

Li Feng was full of joy at this result, but he didn't expect his idea to really come true, and an all-round brokerage company began to take shape, which is a giant brokerage company aircraft carrier that will appear in the next 10 years, and now it has appeared in advance with his own efforts.

……

Li Feng is very satisfied with Michael Ovitz's work, and he is indeed worthy of being an elite who has been rolling in the brokerage field all his life.
