Chapter 486 The Lakers Present Beverly Hills Villa
At three o'clock in the afternoon on the 2nd, the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport.
There were many people to pick him up. Liu Changjiang brought more than 20 brothers from the martial arts school, agent Lance Hoxman, Mengmao boss Roman Weeks, Lakers boss Old Buss, and Jenny Buss and
Jim Buss, Jerry West, Magic Johnson, and then Lightning, Dream, Thunder, Barkley, Kobe and others also came.
In addition, there is a large group of reporters waiting for his arrival.
"Kachakacha..."
Wang Tiejun walked out with his family. This was his first public appearance in Los Angeles after being traded to the Lakers. The media swarmed in, the cameras kept flashing, and all kinds of questions continued.
"Yangjiang, take my parents and leave first." Lao Wang said.
"well."
Liu Changjiang quickly led a group of brothers to protect Wang Aiguo and others as they left.
After the family members left, Lao Wang greeted Bass and the others before accepting interviews with the media.
"Old K, what are your expectations or goals for the future of the Lakers?" asked the reporter with the fastest and loudest mouth.
"I came to the Lakers just to continue competing for the championship. In fact, a simple championship no longer attracts me. What I look forward to is defending the title, a dynasty, and continuous dominance, rather than the glory of a single season." Lao Wang said.
"Oh ho!"
Local reporters cheered.
"Old K, do you think the Lakers' current lineup can beat the other five championship-level teams?" the next reporter asked.
Lao Wang smiled and said: "From the perspective of the lineup, no team has an absolute advantage. Everyone has a chance. There are many factors that can determine the final victory. I believe that our Lakers will make it to the end."
After a twenty-minute interview at the airport, he was able to leave and followed Old Bass and the others to the airport parking lot.
As Yu Feihong and the others approached, they saw a familiar car, which was his Mercedes-Benz SUV. It used to be in Phoenix, but now it's here.
When they arrived at the car, Lao Wang introduced his family members. Bass, West, Weeks and others were very enthusiastic towards Wang Aiguo and the others, which made the two old men uncomfortable.
"Brother Tiejun, several of your cars in Phoenix have been shipped to you. As you said, the real estate will not be processed for the time being. The luggage packed there is currently placed in the villa prepared by the Lakers for you." Liu Changjiang said.
"knew."
"Old K, the villa I specially prepared for you is in Beverly Hills. You have many Hollywood friends there. I hope you are satisfied." Old Bass smiled.
"Jerry, thank you so much." Lao Wang smiled.
Then the group of people drove to Beverly Hills first, a distance of about 20 kilometers and only took half an hour.
After walking around Beverly Hills for more than ten minutes, Bass took Lao Wang and others to the roadside and stopped at the roadside. He pointed at a manor-style villa dozens of meters below and said, "Look, Lao K.
This is it.”
Lao Wang looked at it and felt that it was very beautiful. The three main buildings and several auxiliary buildings formed a semicircle from a distance, surrounding a small artificial lake covering an area of several hundred square meters.
"After I sign a contract, I will buy a villa like this, but I won't buy one on the mountain, I will buy a villa with a sea view." Kobe said with twinkling eyes.
"Oh, why didn't anyone give me a manor like this?" Buckley shouted in envy.
"Why, because you are not worth it." Dameng said bluntly while staring at the villa below.
"You didn't have anyone to give it to you, and you were traded." Barkley retorted sarcastically, not wanting to be outdone.
"..."
Dameng was so angry that he couldn't speak. He glared at Barkley fiercely, and then glanced at Jerry West and Old Bass unhappily.
"Kevin, this villa is great!" Thunder Lord Danmarley said in admiration as he looked at the villa.
"Yeah, I hope we can afford a house like this in the future." Kevin Johnson said with envy.
At this time, Old Bass smiled and introduced: "This villa covers an area of 3,800 square meters, with a building area of 926 square meters and a construction area of 2,720 square meters. It has ten sets of bedrooms, sixteen bathrooms, a theater, a game room, and a billiards
room, a barber shop, two six-car parking garages, two large and small reception rooms, two kitchens, an indoor training room, an indoor basketball court, an outdoor tennis court, etc., and by the way, the artificial lake also has a waterfall.
, rockery and some water park facilities..."
"Feihong, is this where we want to live?" Sister Liu asked in a low voice.
Yu Feihong looked away, nodded and smiled: "Well, Mom, this is given to Tie Jun by the boss of the Lakers."
"Sent?"
Liu Damei and Wang Aiguo both felt incredible that such a beautiful big house was given to their son. Are these foreigners so stupid?
After admiring it from above for a while, the group got back into the car and followed the winding mountain road to the villa below. Someone was waiting outside. They quickly opened the iron door and the group's car drove in.
After entering the iron gate, there is a straight path, and then it goes around a half circle along the artificial lake and stops in front of the main entrance of the villa.
"Old K, I suggest you hire a housekeeper." Hawksman said while looking at the villa with envy.
He knew how much this villa cost, a total of 16.8 million US dollars, and the Lakers spent a lot of money on old K.
But he also knows that the Lakers will not lose money, but will make a lot of money because of Old K, and all investments will be returned quickly.
The price of Lakers season tickets for the new season has skyrocketed by 245% compared to last season. They went on sale three days ago and have been sold out today. The football market is extremely hot.
In terms of sponsorship income, as far as he knows, the Lakers have also made a lot of money.
And the sales of old K's jerseys are even more popular, not only in Los Angeles, but also in China. Currently, they not only occupy the first place in the sales of Lakers jerseys, but also the first place in jersey sales in the entire league. They are also in Jordan's Knicks.
Sales of the No. 23 jersey.
Other benefits will follow, such as broadcast income and so on.
Next, under the leadership of Lao Bas, everyone first visited this large castle-like villa. Then, under the witness of the lawyer, Lao Wang signed his name on the property deed, making this manor-style villa official.
put under his name.
"Old K, Mr. Anschutz, the shareholder of the Lakers, has already planned to build a multi-functional stadium. By the way, just like your K Era Center, construction will start next year and be completed in 1999. Our Lakers will be there after two seasons.
It will be moved into a modern new arena." Old Bass said excitedly.
"New home court? That's great!" Lao Wang laughed.
West said: "Old K, the few workers here are hired temporarily and will work here for one day. You need to hire another group of workers and managers from the housekeeping company."
"OK." Lao Wang nodded.
"Brother Tiejun, I will take care of this matter. There are many brothers. There are five to six hundred people in the branch here. You don't need to invite anyone." Liu Changjiang said with a smile.
"Can I let my brothers do this work? You move quickly, I'm going to have a party in a few days, you first find a housekeeper, and then hire a group of workers, don't forget." Lao Wang said.
"I understand." Liu Changjiang nodded quickly.
Then the old Bass family and West left, and Magic and Lightning stayed.
"Old K, what is the trading company you mentioned? Is it reliable?" As soon as Old Bass and the others left, Buckley shouted excitedly.
A few of them came to Los Angeles specially because Lao Wang said a few days ago that he would take them to set up a trading company.
"Of course it's reliable. Have I ever been unreliable? Just prepare the check." Lao Wang said.
"You've been unreliable a lot." Buckley groaned, but still nodded excitedly and asked, "The check is fine, how much share do I have?"
"This business is run by my two sisters and my wife. You set up a company here and trade with their trading company in China. They provide orders and you are responsible for finding the source of goods. The same goes for vice versa, so every day you
It is up to you to discuss how many shares an individual holds, and we will not participate." Lao Wang said.
"Old K, don't you own any shares?" Kobe asked quickly.
"Yeah, you've been doing it for a long time and you don't want to come out with the money?" Others also shouted.
"I hold shares in domestic companies, but I don't hold shares in the United States," Lao Wang said.
"That won't work. You have to pay for the idea you came up with. What if we are deceived?" Dameng said quickly, and the others all agreed.
"Okay, okay, I'll take a share." Lao Wang said helplessly.
"One share is missing, you must occupy at least three shares." Buckley said, and the others nodded, as if they wanted to bind Lao Wang.
"Three is 30%, so I don't want it. My eldest sister, second sister and my wife each have 10%, okay?" Lao Wang said.
"Of course you can."
When he said this, everyone felt relieved. After all, he was in charge of the matter. If he didn't join in, they wouldn't be worried. Only when everyone became a grasshopper on a rope could they feel relieved.
"We will wait until my second sister comes to tell us how much we will spend. She will come over tomorrow," Lao Wang said.
"Ding ding..."
At this time, the phone rang. I checked it and saw that it was Big Mouth Roberts.
"Hello, Julia?"
"Old K, are you in Beverly Hills?"
"How do you know?"
"A media reporter told me."
"Yes, this is No. 136."
"No. 136? I know that there is a beautiful villa that was just completed last year. The owner has not moved in yet. Has the Lakers owner bought it and given it to you?"
"Yes, after I settle down in a few days, I plan to have a party and come over to have fun then."
"OK."
After that, his cell phone stopped talking.
This Beverly Hills is a city within a city, one of the wealthy areas of Los Angeles. The richest people in Los Angeles and the top stars in Hollywood all like to live here. There are at least hundreds of VIP customers of K-Martial Arts Hall here.
In the next two days, Liu Changjiang completed the tasks assigned to him by Lao Wang and hired a white housekeeper named Mrs. Mavis, and then there were nine workers, including cooks, gardeners, nannies, drivers, etc.
Under the arrangement of Mrs. Mavis, these workers quickly took over the work of the villa.
In addition, Liu Changjiang arranged for a dozen brothers from the martial arts school to come and bury the plum blossom piles for Lao Wang, and it took more than a day to finish.
On the 4th, after Erya and Yu Feihong, who came from San Francisco, discussed together, the registered capital of the trading company in the United States was settled at US$50 million, US$5 million per share. Barkley and Lightning were called over.
, and they all agreed.
The three of them owned three shares, and Lightning, Thunder, Barkley, Dameng, Kobe, and Magic each owned one share, for a total of nine shares.
"You don't recognize the remaining one?" Lao Wang asked with wide eyes.
"Old K, you just have one."
Lightning and others looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Don't regret it in the future?" Lao Wang asked again.
"No regrets." Several people said.
"Then it's settled, I accept the last one." Lao Wang said.
Erya, Daya, and Yu Feihong looked at each other and laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" Lao Wang asked curiously.
"Nothing." Yu Feihong smiled.
What she actually laughed at was that the import and export trading company established by the three of them in China had already received a lot of orders as soon as it was established, half of which came from the hundreds of bosses on Fengshen Street.
In this era, it is very profitable to do import and export trade between China and the United States. There are too many things that need to be imported into the country, and there is a market for garbage shipped back.
What's more, because of the K Martial Arts School, they have a wide network of contacts in the United States and can easily find various sources of goods needed domestically. As long as they do business for a period of time, the reputation of domestic companies will increase, and they may not be able to accept various orders.
.
The only problem is that we don't have enough US dollars.
Therefore, companies should also try their best to find orders abroad and make sure they have both incoming and outgoing orders, otherwise the few dollars they have in hand will be quickly used up.
…
On the 5th, Zhang Lili, Su Qun, and Hu Weidong came to Los Angeles from China and went directly to Lao Wang to admire his big villa.
"Lao Hu, play better in the new season, finish this season, break out of the contract, and try to sign a big contract." Lao Wang encouraged.
"I hope so." Lao Hu nodded.
He is already 27 years old, almost 28 years old. This is his only chance to sign a big contract, and there will definitely be no chance for him in the future.
"Where's Da Zhi?" Zhang Lili asked.
"He signed a contract with the Kings, and now the insider is valuable. His second-round pick contract is okay, 1+1, second-year player option, 750,000 in the first year, 1.02 million in the second year, and he has been staying during the offseason.
Over there in Sacramento." Lao Wang said.
"Not bad, it's bigger than mine." Old Hu said with a smile.
Lao Wang smiled and said: "Now his spoken English has improved a bit, I hope he can stand firm in the king's position."
…
On the 6th, Wang Tiejun and his family drove to the Great Western Forum Arena.
Today is the welcome ceremony arranged by the Lakers for him. It is not free. The average ticket price is 65 US dollars per ticket. Nearly 20,000 tickets were sold out.
"Old K! Old K! Old K..."
Outside the arena, the car was blocked by countless Lakers fans. The shouts became louder and louder, and finally shook the earth.
Two teams of security separated the fan and guided his car in. It took half an hour to drive into the parking lot.
Wang Aiguo and Liu Damei were also in the car. When they saw this scene, they were not surprised because the scene was the same when their son went back in Fengshen Street.
As soon as he arrived at the parking lot, he saw Old Buss, West, Magic Johnson and other senior executives waiting for him, as well as Kobe Bryant and a group of Lakers players.
"Old K, welcome to the Great Western Forum Arena."
When Wang Tiejun got off the car, applause broke out, and Old Bass led the applause.
He laughed, clasped his fists in return, and said with a smile: "From now on, I will be a part of the Lakers. Let's work together to win the championship."
"Championship!"
Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin, who were traded to the Lakers, were the first to shout excitedly, and other players followed suit.
"Pa bang bang..."
The smile on Old Bass's face was already full, and the applause became more powerful.
