003 Anschutz's helplessness
After everyone took their seats, they chatted a few words, and finally got to the point.
"Mr. Li, I am very happy to reach a cooperation agreement with your company this time, I think Tianji Real Estate Company should have the meaning of expanding to the upstream and downstream industries of the sports industry, I think it is not interesting to just cooperate in the operation of a sports center, don't you think that since the wishes of both of us are the same, why not further cooperation?"
After everyone was quiet, Philip Anschutz proposed to Li Feng. When he saw Li Feng signaling to continue, Philip immediately said:
"I think so, we don't need to set up a new operating company, we just don't have to set up a new operating company, and directly Skyline Real Estate injects capital into my Anschutz Entertainment Group, and then directly expands in the name of the company, or builds new buildings, or leases, to expand our business in the operation of stadiums, and expand our influence in the operation of stadiums.
The second is to directly acquire some sports teams and increase the content capacity of venue operations, in the form of channels + content, whether in terms of wealth or influence, it is the best way.
Of course, Skyline Real Estate can also do it on its own, but I have been planning since a few years ago, and I have already considered the overall situation, and I believe that with the financial resources and influence of our two companies, we will be able to develop the company into the most successful stadium operator.
Thirdly, there is more to the upstream and downstream of sports events, and I also know that Mr. Li has a media group and his own TV network, although he is still relatively young, but with a smart TV network leader like Barry Diller, I am looking forward to the development of the media group's TV network.
In fact, sports events have become one of the most important content service providers for TV stations, and you can imagine that ESPN broadcasts a large number of sports events every year and receives super high ratings. I guess if your TV network has its own team events to offer, you can definitely get a win-win situation. ”
……
After listening to others' words, Li Feng couldn't help but feel that people who can succeed will never be accidental.
Listen to what people say, content plus channels, this is the trend of the development of media enterprises in the future, and now everyone has a draft in their hearts, compared to Li Feng himself, this is the advanced vision.
Think about the future, including the merger of Time Warner and AOL, or the later acquisition of Time Warner by telecom giants, etc., these are all a combination of channels + content, and this is still in the media field. Anschutz, on the other hand, thought of the same thing in the field of sports, and I have to say that he really had a good vision.
Naturally, Li Feng also heard the confidence of others in his words, in addition to the similar vision to Li Feng's side, other people's network resources, etc., such as personally bringing the chairman of the major league to the door now shows their confidence.
Although the major football league has just begun, it is still pitifully weak, but after all, this is the president of the football association of a country, and now he is regarded as a follower, which is where its confidence lies.
In fact, Li Feng really doesn't mind cooperating, after all, he doesn't have so much effort to manage and operate such an operating company. The Anschütz Group was a very successful company in its previous life, and since it was sent to the door for cooperation, if it could be controlled, why not, this is simply a great gift to the door.
Obviously, Philip Anschutz is a shrewd business manager, otherwise, the Anschutz Entertainment Group in the previous life would not have developed so smoothly.
As for the issue of being in power, Li Feng is really not worried at all, now that he is only 16 years old, Anshutz is almost 60 years old, and with his 'little superman' physique, he has survived to death. Besides, the subordinates raised by himself are not vegetarians.
Next, the two exchanged ideas on the possibility of cooperation, the operation of the Century Center, the development model of the future company, etc., and the ideas were surprisingly consistent, and it was really an instant hit.
……
For example, the Century Center was built in the center of the city, which was naturally the team's first choice, and according to Anschutz's plan, he could buy a part of the Lakers' shares and pull the Lakers onto the sports center ship.
In fact, Anschutz did this in his previous life, as early as 95 years Anschutz began to plan, for example, he spent more than 100 million US dollars to acquire 50% of the shares of the Los Angeles Kings (ice hockey), and then in 97 years he acquired 25% of the Lakers shares.
As soon as the Staples Center first opened, it became the home of the Lakers, Clippers, Kings (ice hockey), Sparks, etc., and it would have been so easy if it hadn't become a shareholder of these teams.
It's a pity that he was intercepted by Li Feng in this life, to be honest, this is also one of the reasons why Anschutz wants to cooperate with Li Feng, in fact, Anschutz is still very depressed.
I have been planning a plan for several years, and I see that I am about to succeed, but I don't know what went wrong, and I am a step late, and I meet a guy like Li Feng who does not play cards according to common sense.
Just because I watched a Lakers game, I thought of the future Staples Center, well, now the Century Center. And because Li Feng himself was born and raised in Los Angeles, Li Feng is now full of confidence in Los Angeles, and he may not be able to do it well, after all, he is not a native of Los Angeles.
Don't think that the US imperialists have no sense of region, although the US imperialists do not have a household registration or anything, they only need to register with the local government department wherever they want to go, and they will immediately become locals, but that is only legal.
……
In fact, the territorial concept of US imperialism is very serious, otherwise there would be no east or west, and there would be no confrontation between New York and Los Angeles, and New York calls Los Angeles an upstart, and so on.
Although Li Feng's rise has only been less than 2 years, the speed of Li Feng's rise is really super fast, and before the consortiums can react, Li Feng is worth billions.
At that time, it was not easy to engage Li Feng again, and now his roots in Los Angeles have been solid. Now it's the pride of all Los Angeles people, and I don't see that the media is boasting every day that it is the 'son of Los Angeles and the son of Angel City'.
It is impossible to say that the consortium behind California is not interested in Li Feng's corporate assets, these are the best quality assets, and I don't know how many so-called 'cooperation' requests Li Feng has rejected now.
But who made Li Feng, this little guy, have no idea of an American running a business at all, and the equity of the enterprise is firmly controlled, and he has no awareness of doing business with Americans, and he has not left a little crack on people.
At the same time, there are including law firms, security companies, etc., of course, as well as the support of the Los Angeles and California governments, Li Feng is sparing no effort in these aspects of development, and now looking at Li Feng's career, it is simply a hedgehog. I didn't see that the mafia in New York and the gambling kings in Las Vegas had softened.
After all, Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States, and if he misses the opportunity for the development of Los Angeles, then his vision of Anshuci Entertainment Group can only be a flash in the pan.
……
Well, if Li Feng knew his whim, he would have laughed proudly because he had temporarily made a move because of his admiration for the Staples Center in his previous life, and disrupted the layout of others for several years.
