After the NBA draft began, Li Zetian also began to pay attention to Jordan and other basketball rookies.
Of course, his time is very precious, millions of dollars a second, and it's in dollars, so he doesn't have the luxury of watching every game. Just instruct others to record some highlights for him to see.
The owner of the Bulls changed, but he never showed up, which could not help but become the focus of discussion.
The players are also discussing in private, guessing who the boss is.
However, no one guessed that the owner of the Bulls would be Li Zetian.
By the end of the NBA draft, the Bulls had chosen Jordan. At this time, the Bulls club held a press conference and announced that the Bulls would move to Los Angeles!
As soon as the news broke, people were both surprised and puzzled: Why did the Bulls move to Los Angeles
…
…
In the hot summer, the leaves were wilted by the sun, and under the grape shelf, Simba, who had grown up, lay on the ground listlessly and slept.
Li Zetian drank the frozen juice and thought while listening to Dongfang Yuqin's report on the company's situation.
"Mr. Li, the Bulls have moved to the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, what should we do next?" Dongfang Yuqin asked softly.
Li Zetian half-squinted his eyes, thought for a while, and asked: "Dongfang Yuqin, do you think we should build a large stadium and then buy a few teams. I think the stadium should also be very profitable and can sell tickets. , food, clothing, sports goods, club peripheral products, and you can also advertise!"
Dongfang Yuqin replied: "Mr. Li, the stadium is indeed very profitable, especially during the games of important teams, the tickets are very expensive. If the stadium has 50,000 seats, a ticket ranges from 200-300 US dollars. Tickets for the game are more than 10 million US dollars, although a part of the money needs to be distributed to the team, but it is also very profitable! If you count other income, it will be very profitable!!!”
"The ESPN sports network needs to develop, and naturally it needs more heavyweight game video. The four most popular sports in the United States, the first is American football, the second is baseball, and basketball is not the favorite program of Americans. If you want to build a stadium , there must be a football team or a baseball team! The Bulls may not be able to support the field... However, I recommend buying a football team. Mr. Li, you know, the Super Bowl should be very popular in the United States, even the Olympics. Not as popular as the Super Bowl!!!”
Li Zetian nodded, indicating that he understood, and now let Dongfang Yuqin instruct his subordinates to buy a National Football League team.
The "San Diego Lightning" was established in Los Angeles. The team won the NFL championship in 1963, so it became the first target of Li Zetian's acquisition, and the name of the team was very conspicuous.
When the players watched the game, they shouted in unison: "Lightning! Lightning!"
What a vibe!
Teams in the '80s weren't very valuable, plus the dollar was worth a lot. So two weeks later, Li Zetian successfully acquired the "San Diego Lightning" for $75 million.
At the same time, Li Zetian sent someone to contact the Los Angeles government and proposed the construction of a gymnasium project, which was supported by the other party.
At the end of October 1984, the Kronos Stadium was officially established, with an investment of up to 500 million US dollars.
When the news came out, the whole nation was shocked!
Then the media thought of the Bulls changing owners and moving to Los Angeles and the San Diego Chargers changing owners, and they immediately thought that Li Zetian might be the person behind the scenes.
Major media reporters immediately flocked to the door of Li Zetian's villa, wanting to interview him and get an accurate answer.
Li Zetian sent Dongfang Yuqin to come forward and announce the truth.
"As everyone guessed, the owners of both the Bulls and the San Diego Chargers are Chronos Li! I hope you all leave here immediately so as not to disturb the lives of Mr. Li and his family!"
After Dongfang Yuqin finished speaking, she immediately returned to the villa.
The reporters got the answers they wanted, and they all scattered.
On the same day, the media reported the incident one after another, causing a sensation in the United States.
For the Bulls and San Diego Chargers, the impact is greatest. The boss is the richest man in the world, and his sense of pride arises spontaneously. Needless to say, the benefits will definitely make other teams envy and hate.
However, they may be thinking too much. Li Zetian wants to build an all-star lineup. Although the treatment in the team is very high, the competition is more intense, and those with poor strength are easily eliminated!
At this time, Li Zetian thought to himself that since everyone knew that he was a member of the two teams, he planned to visit the team to show his condolences.
He went first to the San Diego Chargers and then to the Bulls. He has been in the Bulls for a little longer, and Jordan is a familiar face, but he is still very young.
"You're this year's NBA rookie Jordan!" Li Zetian looked at Jordan with a faint smile.
Jordan was shocked. He didn't expect that Li Zetian was so kind to people and knew him.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Li, I am Jordan!" Jordan didn't know what to say because he was too nervous.
Li Zetian smiled again, "Come on, I'm optimistic about you!"
"Thank you Mr. Li!" Jordan said.
Li Zetian nodded, looked around for a week, greeted everyone and said: "In recent years, the performance of the Bulls has not been good. I hope that the Bulls can achieve good results in next year's NBA competition! I can give you higher treatment, but you have to do it for you. I win glory! I will make even stricter demands on you!!!"
"Yes!!!" Everyone responded in unison.
Li Zetian smiled with satisfaction and prepared to leave. Among this group of players, Li Zetian felt that he was so short, and he couldn't help feeling depressed.
Just as he was about to leave, three guests came outside the football. They were shocked when they saw Li Zetian here. The leader immediately stepped forward and introduced himself: "Hello Mr. Li, I didn't expect to see you here! I'm Phil Knight, CEO of Nike!"
When Li Zetian heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. Nike, a very powerful sports brand company, has a market value of nearly 100 billion US dollars! However, Nike has not really risen yet, and Adidas is the current overlord.
"Hello, Mr. Phil Knight, nice to meet you. What is your purpose here?"
"Oh, I want to invite Jordan to speak for Nike!" Phil Knight said straight to the point. Originally, he was optimistic about Jordan. Now that the Bulls were acquired by Li Zetian, he valued Jordan even more.
Li Zetian thought at this moment, did Nike rise rapidly because of Jordan's endorsement for it? Well, it seems that it should be. Air Jordan's influence is huge. If he wears Nike sneakers, a large number of young Americans will surely follow suit.
