Chapter 271 The Big Boss of the Team! (1)

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, and it costs millions of dollars per second, so he doesn't have so much time to watch every game.Just order other people to record some highlights for him to watch.

The owner of the Bulls has changed, but he has not been able to show up, which can not help but become the focus of discussion.

The players also discussed in private, guessing who the boss is.

However, no one guessed that the owner of the Bulls would be Li Zetian.

After the NBA draft ended, the Bulls selected Jordan as they wished.At this time, the Bulls club held a press conference and announced that the Bulls will move to Los Angeles!
As soon as the news came out, people were both surprised and puzzled: Why did the Bulls move to Los Angeles?
……

……

The summer was so hot that the leaves were wilted by the sun. Under the grape trellis, Simba, who had grown up, lay down and slept listlessly on the ground.

Li Zetian was drinking frozen juice, thinking 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-closed his eyes, thought for a while, and asked, "Dongfang Yuqin, do you think we should build a large stadium and buy a few teams later. I think the stadium should also be very profitable and can sell tickets." , food, clothing, sporting goods, club peripheral products, and can also advertise!"

Dongfang Yuqin replied: "Mr. Li, the stadium is really profitable, especially during important team games, the tickets are very expensive. If the stadium has 5 seats, a ticket ranges from 200-300 US dollars. Tickets for one game are more than 1000 million US dollars, although a part of the money needs to be distributed to the team, but it is also very profitable! If other income is included, it will be very profitable!!!”

"The ESPN sports network needs to develop, and naturally needs more heavyweight game videos. 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 , You must have a football team or a baseball team! The Bulls may not be able to hold the field... However, I recommend buying a football team. Mr. Li, you know how popular the Super Bowl should be in the United States, even if it is the Olympics Not as popular as the Super Bowl!!!”

Li Zetian nodded, expressing his understanding, and asked Dongfang Yuqin to order 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 team's name is very hanging.

When the players watched the game, they shouted: "Lightning! Lightning!"

How imposing!
Teams in the 80s were not worth much, and the dollar was worth a lot.So two weeks later, Li Zetian successfully acquired the "San Diego Lightning" for $7500 million.

At the same time, Li Zetian sent someone to contact the Los Angeles government to propose the construction of a stadium project, and received the support of the other party.

At the end of October 1984, the Kronos Gymnasium was formally approved, with an investment of US$10 million.

As soon as the news came out, the whole United States was shocked!

Then some media thought of the Bulls changing ownership and moving to Los Angeles and the San Diego Chargers changing ownership, and immediately thought that Li Zetian might be behind the scenes.

Reporters from major media immediately flocked to the gate 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 to the outside world.

"As everyone has guessed, both the Bulls and the San Diego Chargers are owned by Chronos Li! I hope everyone leaves 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, so pride arises spontaneously. Needless to say, the benefits and 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 salary in the team is very high, the competition is more intense, and those with poor abilities are easily eliminated!
At this time, Li Zetian thought to himself, since everyone knew that he was a member of the two teams, so he planned to visit the teams to show his condolences.

He first went to the San Diego Chargers, and then to the Bulls.He has been with the Bulls for a little longer, and the familiar face is Jordan, but he is still very young.

"You are this year's NBA rookie Jordan!" Li Zetian looked at Jordan with a faint smile.

Jordan was startled, he didn't expect Li Zetian to be so kind to others, and he even knew him.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Li, I am Jordan!" Due to being too nervous, Jordan didn't know what to say.

Li Zetian smiled again, "Come on, I like you!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li!" Jordan said.

Li Zetian nodded, looked around, greeted everyone and said, "In recent years, the Bulls have not performed well. I hope that the Bulls will achieve good results in next year's NBA competition! I can give you higher treatment, but you have to pay for it." I won the glory! I will make stricter demands on you!!!"

"Yes!!!" Everyone responded in unison.

Li Zetian smiled in satisfaction and was about 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 walked outside. They looked shocked when they saw Li Zetian here.The leader immediately stepped forward and introduced himself: "Mr. Li, hello, I didn't expect to see you here! I'm Phil Knight, the CEO of Nike!"

Li Zetian couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, Nike, a very powerful sports brand company, with a market value close to 1000 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 for coming here?"

"Oh, I want to invite Jordan to speak for Nike!" Phil Knight said straight to the point.Originally, he was optimistic about Jordan, but now that the Bulls were acquired by Li Zetian, he valued Jordan even more.

At this moment, Li Zetian thought, could it be that Nike has risen rapidly because of Jordan's endorsement for it?Well, it seems that it should be. Air Jordan has a huge influence. If he wears Nike shoes, there will be a large number of young Americans who will follow suit.
