Chapter 741: A Bumpy Acquisition (Part I)

The Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles Beverly Hills, USA, is located next to Forlì Hills, where you can meet top performers at any time, because it is also loved by top artists, and it also has a world-famous shopping avenue.

Jin Guofeng has long remembered how many times he has been to the United States this year, and the project to buy NBA teams is going so smoothly that it is time for him, the big boss, to come forward.

Han Junying took the time to fill up the list of important guests to keep in mind for his friends, and the welcome reception would be attended by a lot of heavyweights, and as the host, he would leave a good impression on the guests and gain their friendship, so that they could gain a foothold in the NBA league.

Unlike the white Russian tycoon who just announced the acquisition of the Nets, Jin Guofeng's acquisition has encountered various obstacles from the beginning, fortunately, the United States at this time is in a serious financial crisis, so that everyone only verbally expresses their opinions, and does not use real money to express their own opinions.

The approximate purchase price of the team is 450 million US dollars, which includes the team's debts, all the assets, including the basketball stadium used by the team, plus the later taxes and labor costs incurred by the acquisition, plus the warning line set by Jin Guofeng, which did not exceed the $500 million mark.

As the owner of a team in one of the four major sports leagues in the United States, Jin Guofeng's name has appeared in some sports news, and as for large news organizations such as ESPN, they will not easily report such a riot-prone news topic without getting an official notice from the NBA league.

"The main guests of the meeting were Mayor Newsom of San Francisco, the city administrator Lee Mengxian, and the members of the city council." Han Junying took advantage of Jin Guofeng's trial of the dress, and hurriedly showed him everyone's photos and profiles, for fear that he would not be able to tell people's names and make jokes for a while.

"Got it, just say hello to these officials, our main guests today are the NBA league people, especially the chairman David . Stern, the old-fashioned old man, has not revealed a word of opinion about the deal so far. So much so that to this day, Jin Guofeng still has a trace of uneasiness in his heart, for fear that this completed deal will be vetoed by the NBA league headquarters, which will bring a series of chain reactions.

Han Junying pursed his lips with some disdain, obviously thinking that his friend was too careful, in the United States, where money is paramount, how could anyone refuse this legitimate acquisition transaction?

Accompanied by the invited public relations consultants, Jin Guofeng and Han Junying received every guest in a nervous and orderly manner, especially those who needed their key reception.

David. Stern, as usual, did not bring any assistants and subordinates to this business reception.

Unlike the others at the reception, he had come today for a very simple purpose, just to see for himself, the young buyer, a young man with a very good resume, a talented businessman in Asia.

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Stern." David habitually looked up at the master in front of him, a young man who was very well-dressed and had a confident smile on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Stern, I think we'll have more opportunities to meet in the future, thank you for coming to today's reception." Jin Guofeng replied decently, from the other party's introduction, he had already heard a lot of things, at least he didn't plan to talk to him about the alliance today, but just used his private identity to participate in the reception, the purpose was not to talk about business here.

A simple conversation allowed Stern to understand more about the Asian in front of him, at least the other party understood the meaning of his words, and did not say anything about business.

In fact, as of today, he has not made any decision, because the league is very worried about the development of another team in the league, for fear that this kind of large-scale money-burning behavior will completely disrupt the salary setting of the entire league, and will not benefit the development of the league.

In fact, Stern agrees with this kind of transaction very much, in his opinion, the successive acquisition of teams by foreigners has shown the degree of development of the entire league, and he believes that the benefits of this acquisition are two-way, after all, the Asian market has always been the main market for their league, so it is natural to consider the minds of the audience here.

He believes that with the help of these local influencers, it will play a decisive role in the development of the entire alliance.

It's just that the U.S. economy has been really bad lately, so much so that he himself doesn't have much confidence that he can maintain the momentum of growth and continue to develop and broaden the income of the alliance.

So David has been procrastinating for time, just to let himself do a good job of other people's opinions and promote the passage of the project as soon as possible.

Although Jin Guofeng couldn't hold his heart until he got a reply, there were a lot of guests at the cocktail party today, and he could only cheer up and deal with the things in front of him first.

Among the guests who came today, there are also related institutions of Korean Americans, and for him, how to better integrate into them is something he needs to think about in advance.

After all, in the face of the neurotic supreme leader of North Korea, Kim Guofeng must think clearly in advance and make some arrangements in advance for the future.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet, let me introduce myself first, and then the reception will officially begin."

Jin Guofeng rarely showed his foreign language strength, and every sentence was repeated in three Chinese dialects, that is, the very familiar Korean, plus the English that he studied hard every day, and the Chinese dialect that he had forgotten a little.

David looked at the stage with some surprise, he didn't expect the other party to introduce his information in this way, obviously shocking the other guests present.

As the place with the largest number of Chinese Americans, anyone who wants to completely integrate into San Francisco, a city with a history of more than 100 years, cannot bypass the existence of Chinese.

"Young man, now I'm really interested in communicating with you, please decide for yourself the specific meeting time." David. Stern smiled and said goodbye to Jin Guofeng, he had already begun to like this young man.

Jin Guofeng asked the other party excitedly, but he didn't ask anything, but some of his plans were leaked.

The two also didn't expect that what was originally a very ordinary business was because of Jin Guofeng's skin color, which led to the news that the acquisition plan was determined a full four months late.
