The night is dark, and the stars are shining.

Today, the Spoutes Center is brightly lit, and countless traffic and people gather around the Spodexs Center, and as far as the eye can see, the alleys are full of thousands of people.

The Spooytais Center is located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, next to the Los Angeles Convention Center complex on Figueroa Street.

Tang Yuan and the others drove to the Sputtais Center, and when there were still two kilometers left in the destination, the speed of the entire convoy became slow.

"Little master, you don't have to be in a hurry."

"If we drive 100 meters further, we will be able to drive into the VIP access to the Spoytais Center, which is dedicated to VIPs and players, and can drive directly to the main entrance of the Spotai Center."

Seeing this, Danny Grant turned his head and said comfortably to Tang Yuan.

In the presence of outsiders, Danny Grant has always called Tang Yuan the chairman, but in private, he prefers to call Tang Yuan the little master, which makes him feel closer.

Tang Yuan bowed slightly, and then asked, "Uncle Danny, I don't seem to see any connection between our Victor Foundation and the Sputai Center in the asset list of our Victor Foundation, right?" ”

"Little master, do you remember that on the list of equity investments of our Victor Foundation, there is an equity investment in Anschutz Entertainment Group, we account for 26.8% of the shares, and we are the second largest shareholder of Anschutz Group."

Danny Grant smiled, he knew what Tang Yuan wanted to ask, so he took the initiative to remind him.

"Hmmm......"

"This Anschutz Entertainment Group, I have a little impression, this equity investment is very early, it seems that in 1993, we invested 140 million US dollars, and held 47.2% of the shares at that time, and then the other party continued to raise funds, resulting in the reduction of our equity to 26.8% today."

But isn't the Anschutz Entertainment Group's main business in film development, production and distribution? Does it have anything to do with Sputtaix Center and NBA games? ”

Under Danny Grant's reminder, Tang Yuan quickly remembered.

Regarding the list of assets of the Victor Foundation, Tang Yuan has already kept it in mind, but the assets of the Victor Foundation are too many, not to mention the real estate investment for the time being, just the part of equity investment, the companies involved are as high as hundreds.

It is not easy for Tang Yuan to memorize the names of these companies and then remember the main business of these companies, and it is impossible to completely analyze the business operated by each company.

"Little master, Anschutz Entertainment Group has two main businesses, and the film development, production and distribution you just mentioned is indeed one of their main businesses, and they have been working with Disney Productions, Paramount Productions, 20th Century Fox, Universal Productions, MGM and Shinkansen Pictures for many years, and they have a close relationship with each other, so that they are more famous in this regard."

"Another main business, may not be famous, but the ability to attract money is very strong, this business is industrial investment and sports investment, it has not only invested in several sports centers and theaters, but also invested in more than a dozen teams of various sports events, as far as we see in front of us Sputtais Center, which was invested and built by Anschutz Entertainment Group, and is now one of the operating units of Spoptes Center."

"As for sports investment, taking the NBA as an example, Anschutz Entertainment Group has the right to participate in the management of both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Sparks, and the shareholding ratio is very large, and in these two teams, they have a great say."

In the face of Tang Yuan's inquiry, Danny Grant gave the most detailed answer, and directly told Tang Yuan all the operating businesses of Anschutz Entertainment Group.

After Tang Yuan heard what Danny Grant said, he couldn't help but show a little surprise on his face.

It turns out that not only the Spopuers Center in front of him is his own industry, but even his favorite Los Angeles Lakers is also his own industry.

If that's the case, isn't that also James' boss?

From a fan to a boss, such a huge span of changes is indeed a bit unexpected.

"I see......"

Tang Yuan muttered twice, and then when he turned his eyes back to the fans outside the window who were rushing towards the center of Sputais, he suddenly felt that they had become extremely cute.

Just as Tang Yuan and Danny Grant were talking, Tang Yuan and the others finally drove into the VIP passage of the Sputai Center, which made the entire team quickly return to its original speed.

As he got closer and closer to the Spoutes Center, Tang Yuan could clearly see that the three buildings side by side in the distance hung huge portraits of the Lakers' three historical centers Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and O'Neal, who had different movements, and O'Neal was the tallest.

At the same time, at each entrance of the Spoptes Center, there are huge electronic signs, which constantly flip the glorious history of the Lakers in the history of winning championships and entering the Finals, as well as introducing the current Lakers stars.

Not only that, but there are also five statues of the Los Angeles Lakers standing outside the Sputais Center, they are Magic Johnson, Jerry West, Karim Aberdul Abdul-Jabbar, legendary commentator Zike Hearn, and the shark O'Neal, each of which is lifelike and meaningful to countless NAB fans, especially those who love the Lakers.

……

Just as Tang Yuan and the others were rapidly approaching the Sputtais Center, they were in a room inside the Sputtais Center at this moment, which was crowded with warblers and swallows, and the air was filled with a strong smell of rouge gouache.

"Angelina, there is only half an hour left before the opening show of the game later, you have to get yourself excited as soon as possible no matter what!"

"Tonight here are full of stars, capital, and scouts, as long as you can fully show your charm, I believe you will definitely conquer everyone, and when someone throws an olive branch to you, you can take this opportunity to successfully enter Hollywood, and then step into the international stage."

In front of a vanity mirror, a middle-aged man squatted next to a young girl, although his voice was low and his speech was fast, his emotions were extremely high, and even at the end, he couldn't help but wave his right fist.

"Craig, I know it's a rare opportunity, but I'm still a little nervous."

Angelina hesitated slightly, and her somewhat uneasy tone showed that what she had just said was true.

"I understand, I understand."

"But no matter what, you have to work hard to overcome it."

The middle-aged man made a few calming moves at Angelina, and then revealed a rather secret news to the other party: "I just got the news that the senior management of the Victor Foundation will come to the scene tonight, and its location is in the core of the court. ”

"The Victor Foundation?"

"What's that?"

When Angelina heard this, her face was a little puzzled.

"You can understand the Victor Foundation as a consortium in California, the founder of the Victor Foundation, Victor Grant, whose net worth was among the top five in California as early as the beginning of the last century, and now after nearly a hundred years, its sphere of influence has long spread throughout California, whether it is industry, entertainment, education or finance."

"The Victor Foundation is a charitable foundation established by Victor Grant before his death, it inherits all of Victor Grant's legacy, and under the management and operation of a professional team, it is now one of the largest local forces in California, if you can get their favor, let alone enter Hollywood to develop, they show a little benefit from their fingers, it is enough to make you an international superstar."

The middle-aged man shared the news he had worked hard to find out during this time to Angelina, just to cheer up Angelina, don't miss this precious opportunity.

"So powerful?"

"How rich do they be......"

Angelina's eyes widened slightly, and her words were full of amazement.

"Money?" The middle-aged man sneered: "My little ancestor, for their level, money is no different from numbers for a long time. ”

When Angelina heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little yearning.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man immediately coughed lightly twice, and then gestured in the direction of Angelina's nine o'clock: "Look at that girl, wait for you to pay attention to it when you are performing, and suppress her as much as possible." ”

Angelina followed the middle-aged man's gaze, and immediately saw a perfect girl like an elf, her beauty and elegance were like candles in the night, even in this room full of beautiful women, she still looked shining and shining like the sun.

"Who's that?"

Even Angelina, who has always been full of confidence in her beauty, couldn't help but feel a little sense of crisis after seeing that girl.

"Her name is Savanna Brad, she is a very famous model in the world recently, with a cosplay elf game promotional video, quickly out of the circle on the Internet, fans skyrocketed by millions in a short period of time, and frequently appeared on the covers of major fashion magazines and international fashion weeks some time ago, I didn't expect to appear here today, I feel that the probability is the same as our goal, are here to seek opportunities."

After the middle-aged man pointed out the direction to Angelina, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the other party, he quickly took his eyes back, and at the same time briefly introduced the situation to Angelina in a low voice.

Angelina glanced twice, but also didn't look too much, she bowed slightly: "If there is a chance to suppress her, I will do it." ”

When it comes to the future, Angelina is not going to be soft on her strong competitors.

"Good!"

"Then I won't bother you."

"You adjust your emotions and get excited as soon as possible."

"I'll go down here first, and then I'll get you some information."

The middle-aged man was quite satisfied with Angelina's attitude, and then he informed Angelina and quickly left the room.

……

After entering the VIP passage of the Sputtais Center, the speed of the entire convoy was raised again, and in just five minutes, it drove to the Sputtais Center.

Because the stars who came to participate in the All-Star Game today had already entered the stadium an hour earlier, there were not many onlookers here, only many people who came to welcome Tang Yuan and Danny Grant.

Soon, Tang Yuan and Danny Grant walked down from the Rolls-Royce Phantom one after another, and those who had been waiting in front of the VIP passage in front of the early morning hurriedly surrounded them.

"Mr. Danny, welcome to the game!"

When these people saw Danny Grant, they were about to open their mouths to flatter and welcome them, when they saw Danny Grant suddenly wave his hand, interrupting these people's speeches.

"Let me officially introduce to you, this is Mr. Tang Yuan, the new chairman of the Victor Foundation, who currently holds the highest authority of the Victor Foundation."

Danny Grant was concise and directly pointed out Tang Yuan's identity.

After Danny Grant's words, the scene fell silent for a moment, and one by one it looked as if they had hit the silence spell, and their eyes were all round, and their eyes were full of horror and shock.

The chairman of the Victor Foundation, which has been vacant for more than 20 years......

Finally ushered in its new owner!

Such news is really a bit too shocking for everyone.

You must know that the Victor Foundation, as one of the strongest local forces in California, if it moves casually, for some people, it may be the result of the collapse of the sky, and decades have passed, and I don't know how many people are relying on the Victor Foundation's snort to make a living.

Now that the Victor Foundation has a new owner, no one knows if he will make any moves in the future, but now that they are fortunate enough to meet it, they naturally want to cherish this opportunity, at least they can make a familiar face in front of it, which is already better than many people.

Thinking of this, everyone immediately bent down slightly towards Tang Yuan, and took the initiative to hand their business cards to Tang Yuan's hands.

"Chairman Tang, hello, I am Johannes Kepler, President of Anschutz Entertainment Group, please take care of me in the future!"

"Hello Chairman Tang, I'm Charles Friedel, General Manager of Los Angeles Coliseum, and I hope you have a great time at Sputtais Center tonight!"

"Chairman Tang, hello, I am Prince Buss, the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, if you are interested in the future, you can come to the Los Angeles Lakers at any time!"

……

These businessmen or executives, who are quite famous in the world, are showing respect in front of Tang Yuan at this moment, and in Danny Grant's view, this is a natural and natural thing.

"Hello."

"If you are free in the future, you are welcome to come to the Victor Foundation as a guest, it's not early, let's go first."

Tang Yuan accepted the business cards they handed over, and followed everyone to say a few simple greetings.

When everyone heard this, they naturally responded, and then they hugged Tang Yuan and walked towards the Sputtais Center......
