【Chapter 947】 Officially Entered the Owner (Ask for Subscription!)

The opening dinner and the charity auction after the outside media reporters could not take detailed pictures, but from the photos and information released by the 'Jinghu Group', the 'Ginkgo Foundation' and the guests on the self-media afterwards, it was a successful party.

Mr. and Mrs. Xiaobei, who came from England overnight, have successfully won a lot of media attention, and their good relationship with the Xiao Feng family has also allowed merchants to have a higher evaluation of the business value of Mr. and Mrs. Xiaobei.

The dinner was a lively and enthusiastic auction, and in the end, $1.2 million was raised as a UNICEF in Los Angeles to help some of the disadvantaged children in Los Angeles.

Since Xiao Feng and the 'Jinghu Group' have decided to take root in the United States for a long time, they should at least occupy a certain commanding heights in terms of public opinion and create an image of being 'keen on charity', and there are still many benefits.

Prior to this, the philanthropic focus of the 'Jinghu Group' and the 'Ginkgo Foundation' was in China, even though Xiao Feng's previous 'Huaxia International Students Fund' in the United States was more for Chinese students, and had little to do with the United States.

Last time, Xiao Feng donated $1 million to Beverly Elementary School, which was earmarked for the construction of the school, which was a private matter, and this time it covered the whole of Los Angeles, which was the beginning of the 'Ginkgo Foundation' in the United States.

After this news came out, the impression of local residents in Los Angeles on Xiao Feng has also improved a lot, as residents of Angel City, Los Angeles people still have a certain degree of pride and reserve.

Although Xiao Feng is the richest man in China, it is not so easy to gain the recognition of the locals, even if he has become a major shareholder of the Lakers, it still takes a process.

The rice has to be eaten bite, and things have to be completed one by one, and Xiao Feng and the development of the 'Jinghu Group' in the United States are still quite satisfactory!

…………

In addition to the media focusing on the star-studded pomp and circumstance on the night of the opening. I was still very concerned about the business status of the 'Dream Restaurant', and there were still a lot of reporters squatting around the manor the next day.

The opening ceremony was reported by many media, which undoubtedly provided countless free advertisements for the restaurant, and the 'dream restaurant' has already had a good reputation in the American high society.

Therefore, it was not to Xiao Feng's surprise, on the morning of the 19th, the restaurant's customer service began to receive various reservation calls. I started to get busy at noon.

The parking lot of 'Dream Manor' has 200 parking spaces, so almost every customer who orders a meal comes to the manor by car, and all kinds of luxury cars dazzle the reporters waiting at the door.

Whether it is China or Europe and the United States, people's herd mentality is not immune, and since there were so many superstars and rich people at the opening dinner of the 'Dream Restaurant' last night, it undoubtedly shows that there are enough reasons here.

Therefore, many consumers who are not short of money in their pockets have made reservation calls to experience the top food from China!

…………

While the restaurant was busy receiving its first guests, Xiao Feng was not in the 'Neverland'. He was busy in Staples for the final negotiations with Bass Jr.

At the beginning, Buss Jr. had the idea of getting out of the Lakers, and after selling 20% of his shares to Xiao Feng, he would also sell the remaining shares in his hands one after another. But he didn't expect that Xiao Feng's actions would be so fast, and he got 30% of the shares from the Anschutz Group between the front and back feet, and became the controlling shareholder.

At this time, the remaining 40% of the shares in the hands of the Bass family have become chicken ribs. Even if you want to hold it for a long time and sell it, it doesn't make much sense.

Therefore, Little Bass simply decided to transfer all the remaining shares to Xiao Feng. Take the money and do what you want to do and enjoy life!

"Congratulations to Mr. Xiao, the Lakers will be yours next!" After the agreement was signed, Buss Jr. shook hands with Xiao Feng with a smile on his face and congratulated him.

For Buss Jr., he was able to sell the Lakers, who have a market value of $1.2 billion, for $2 billion. The huge premium already made him smile from ear to ear. With Kobe's retirement and the uncertainty of the future of the team's rebuild, the Lakers may not be able to maintain their current market value in the hands of Buss Jr., and it is wise to release the gloves early.

Of course, Buss Jr. doesn't realize that Xiao Feng's Chinese identity will make the Lakers have more influence in China and even Asia. Create amazing business value. He would never have thought that after Xiao Feng joined the NBA next season, he would create a brilliant dynasty by himself, making the market value of the Lakers a blowout.

The $1.2 billion in cash he got from Xiao Feng, although he had to share some with his other brothers and sisters, but the more than $1 billion in cash still made Bass Jr. satisfied. Looking at the world, there are very few super-rich people who can have such sufficient cash flow.

"I still want to thank Mr. Buss for his success!" The smile on Xiao Feng's face was even brighter than that of Buss Jr., after all, he alone owned all the shares of the entire Lakers team.

Although the acquisition of the Lakers at a premium of $800 million seems a bit like a father, time is the most critical for Xiao Feng, and the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem.

Xiao Feng is confident that he will use the Lakers to bring more wealth to himself, and it is acceptable to pay a little premium now.

After Xiao Feng and Bass Jr. had a polite exchange, Bass Jr. left Staples, and from today on, Xiao Feng was the sole owner of this team.

Of course, Staples is the property of the Anschutz Group, and the Lakers are just renting the arena, and now the 'Mirror Lake Group' is cooperating with Lin Jian's 'Qianxin Group' to buy Staples from the Anschutz Group.

It's a big move, and although it's a little difficult, it's not like it's not without a chance!

…………

Mitch Kupchak sits in his office, a bit like waiting for the judgment of fate, the team has changed owners, can he still sit firmly in the position of general manager?

Kupchak was a little skeptical, he didn't have much contact with Xiao Feng, and it was difficult to judge Xiao Feng's style from this few words.

As a retired NBA player, Kupchak won two championships with the Lakers, and in his 14 years as general manager of the Chinese pair, he brought five championship trophies to the team, which can be regarded as an excellent achievement. He is not worried about his livelihood or work after leaving the Lakers. It's just that the love for the Lakers has been integrated into his blood, and if he is allowed to leave like this, it is normal to be reluctant.

"Sir, the new boss is here!" Just as Kupchak was immersed in the memories of the past, Miss Daiki, the secretary of the office, came in to inform him that Xiao Feng was coming.

Shaking his head, Kupchak put aside all kinds of negative emotions in his heart for a while. Followed Miss Daiki out of the office, waiting for Xiao Feng to arrive.

In fact, the other staff in the office area are also working unintentionally, the team is playing away games in the east, and there are many employees who stay behind.

"Hello boss!" Seeing Xiao Feng coming, Kupchak hurriedly greeted him.

No matter how strong the union in the United States is, it can't change Xiao Feng's current position in the Lakers, after all, he only needs to buy out the contract, and everyone present will leave at any time.

Even Xiao Feng didn't have to pay too much liquidated damages. As long as the team loses money, it makes sense to fire some employees.

Rao is Kupchak is already over sixty years old, and he is still a little nervous in the face of the new boss, not to mention the other employees.

"Hello Mitch!" Xiao Feng shook hands with Kupchak with a smile and said loudly to the staff on the scene: "I know everyone is worried about the future of the team, now I can give everyone a reassurance!"

"Starting this month, the salaries of all employees will be increased by 10% and the team will not fire a single employee!"

For people in the workplace. The promise of a raise and no layoffs was the most popular, and Xiao Feng's decision silenced the office area for five seconds. Then there was a burst of cheers!

Xiao Feng even heard the Chinese language of 'Long live the boss' in it, which was really a bit ridiculous, so he could only smile and shake his head.

"Mickey, let's go to the office and talk!" Looking at the noisy office area, Xiao Feng also knew that there was no way to talk about things here.

"BOSS, please follow me!" saw that Xiao Feng had something to say to himself. Kupchak hurriedly led him to the office, and everything was going to be clear.

"Mitch, I'm not familiar with the day-to-day operations of the team, and I don't usually have much time and energy, so I want you to continue to be the general manager of the team!" Xiao Feng didn't beat around the bush and directly explained his thoughts.

The operation of NBA teams is an unfamiliar field for Xiao Feng and the 'Mirror Lake Group', and Xiao Feng will not make the mistake of 'an outsider directing an insider'. As long as you have a firm grip on the team's finances and leave things to the professionals, it's the best choice.

Kupchak is the best manager in the NBA, and Xiao Feng is quite relieved that he will continue to be in charge of the team's management, player transactions, etc. Therefore, as soon as he took over the team, Xiao Feng came to the office area to stay in Kupchak, and the rest were trivial.

"Okay, I promised!" Kupchak didn't let Xiao Feng wait too long, and immediately nodded in agreement.

It is still a few months away from guessing that the 61-year-old Kupchak is in excellent physical condition, far from the time of retirement, since he can continue to stay with the Lakers he loves and get more salary, he has no reason to refuse Xiao Feng at all.

And from Kupchak's vision, he naturally knows that after Xiao Feng joins the NBA, it will bring unparalleled business opportunities to the team and promote the Lakers to the world, which has always been one of Kupchak's dreams.

Xiao Feng successfully retained the management headed by Kupchek, and did not continue to point fingers, since he chose someone else, of course he had to trust.

…………

After Xiao Feng left, Kupchak updated a message on the Lakers' official website and official Twitter, which also reassured fans who care about the Lakers.

Xiao Feng, the richest man in China, took over 100% of the team's shares and became the sole shareholder, and the team did not lay off employees and increased the salary by 10%, which is quite a lot of news.

For a while, the whole world was in a sensation!

Previously, Xiao Feng took over 20% of the Lakers' shares and became the first Chinese owner in the NBA, which had stunned everyone, and now Xiao Feng has quietly entered the Lakers, which is a big earthquake!

Naturally, Huaxia fans were cheering, and Xiao Feng won another NBA team after becoming the owner of a Premier League club, and is moving in the direction of a sports tycoon. Fans are already looking forward to the fact that the Lakers and Kobe Bryant will be able to play in China in the summer, and even put the preseason in China, so that they will be able to get close to the highest level of world basketball.

Of course, there are also some fans who are looking forward to the possibility that the Lakers may select Chinese players in the future, so that the Chinese can be active in the NBA again.

However, everyone didn't expect that when Xiao Feng became a member of the Lakers team in the new season, they were dumbfounded.

In addition to the violent response of China, the media, public opinion and people in Europe and the United States have also expressed their own opinions, and everyone generally believes that this is the precursor of Huaxia Capital entering the NBA, and now Chinese people are getting richer and richer!

…………

On the way back to 'Neverland', Xiao Feng updated the news of the scarf, confirmed that he owns all the shares of the Lakers, and is also setting up a suspense, claiming to give all fans a huge surprise this summer.

Xiao Feng's bib fans have infinitely approached 80 million, and every message he has tens of millions of fans paying attention to at any time, and he soon rushed to the hot word list of scarves.

In addition to Xiao Feng's fans, good friends, including Yao Ming, also forwarded and commented on Xiao Feng's scarf information, and the news that Xiao Feng became the owner of the NBA immediately spread all over the Internet and made headlines.

In addition to being shocked, everyone was also very interested in Xiao Feng's mysterious 'surprise', and everyone was guessing what this 'surprise' was?

However, even people with big brains would never have thought that Xiao Feng would actually go to play in the NBA!

…………

After returning to the manor, Xiao Feng went to the restaurant to check on today's business situation, and found that there were many guests, and his mood was even better.

That night, Xiao Feng personally cooked in the restaurant, and many customers who came to dine were lucky enough to taste Xiao Feng's craftsmanship, and they were full of praise one by one.

An international student from Huaxia happened to be a fan of Xiao Feng, and she and her parents came to the 'Dream Restaurant' to cheer Xiao Feng, but they didn't expect to meet Chef Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng also came out of the back kitchen to take pictures and sign autographs with this fan, which made the little girl so excited that she put the group photo on her neck and showed off in the circle of friends, so happy!

The grandeur of the restaurant's opening dinner has not disappeared, Xiao Feng has once again occupied the headlines of major media, and from now on Xiao Feng will have another title - 'NBA boss'.

Everyone is used to the big news that Xiao Feng makes every now and then, and I don't know what kind ......of explosive news he will make next time this 'headline maker'?
