Chapter 487 Lakers give away Beverly Hills villa
The plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport at 3:00 p.m. on the 2nd.
There were many people who picked him up. Liu Changjiang brought more than two dozen martial arts brothers, agent Lance Hoxman, Mammoth owner Roman Weeks, Lakers owner Buss, as well as Jenny Buss and Jim Buss, Jerry West, Magic Johnson, and then Lightning and Dream, Rai Gong, Barkley, Kobe, and others all came.
In addition, a large group of reporters were waiting for him.
“click, click…”
Wang Tiejun walked out with his family. This was his first public appearance in Los Angeles after being traded to the Lakers. The media rushed over, the camera kept flashing, and all kinds of questions kept coming.
“Yangtze River, take my parents and leave first.” Lao Wang said.
“well.”
Liu Changjiang quickly took a group of brothers to protect Wang Aiguo and they left.
After the family left, Pharaoh and Bass greeted them before accepting an interview with the media.
“Old K, what are your expectations or goals for the future of the Lakers?” asked the reporter with the fastest mouth and the loudest.
“I came to the Lakers to continue to compete for the championship. In fact, the simple championship is no longer attractive to me. I am looking forward to defending the title, a dynasty, and continuous domination, not a single season of glory.” Wang said.
“Oh hoo!”
Local reporters cheered.
“Old K, do you think the current Lakers lineup can beat the other five championship-level teams?” the next reporter asked.
Pharaoh said with a smile: “From the perspective of the lineup, no team has an absolute advantage, and everyone has a chance. There are many factors that can determine the final victory. I believe that our Lakers will come to the end.”
After being interviewed at the airport for 20 minutes, he was able to leave and followed Old Buss to the parking lot of the airport.
Approaching Yu Feihong and the others, they saw a familiar car. It was his Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle. It used to be in Phoenix, but now it’s here.
When he got to the car, Pharaoh introduced his family. Bass, West, Weeks and others were very enthusiastic about Wang Aiguo and others, which made the two old people uncomfortable.
“Brother Tiejun, several of your cars in Phoenix have been shipped to you. The real estate will not be dealt with for the time being as you said. The luggage that has been arranged there is currently in the villa prepared by the Lakers for you.” Liu Changjiang said.
“understood.”
“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.” Old Wang smiled.
Then the group drove to Beverly Hills, about 20 kilometers away, and it took half an hour to arrive.
After turning around in Beverly Hills for more than ten minutes, he stopped on the side of the road. Bass took Pharaoh and the others to the side of the road, pointed to a manor-style villa dozens of meters below and said, “Look, old K, That’s it.”
Pharaoh looked at it and felt 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.
“I want to buy a villa like this after I sign a contract, but I don’t want to buy a villa on the mountain, I want to buy a villa with a sea view.” Kobe’s eyes flashed authentically.
“Oh, why hasn’t anyone given me a manor like this?” Barkley exclaimed enviously.
“Why, because you’re not worth it.” Da Meng said bluntly while staring at the villa below.
“You didn’t even give it away, and you were traded.” Buckley retorted and retorted.
“…”
Da Meng was so angry that he was speechless, and gave Buckley a stern look, and an unhappy glance at Jerry West and Old Buss.
“Kevin, this villa is amazing!” Lei Gong Dan Marly looked at the villa and praised.
“Yeah, I hope we can afford such a house in the future.” Kevin Johnson said enviously.
At this time, Old Bass introduced with a smile: “This villa covers an area of 3,800 square meters, with a building area of 926 square meters and a building area of 2,720 square meters. It has ten bedrooms, sixteen toilets, a theater, a game room, and a billiards. room, a hairdressing room, 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. By the way, the artificial lake has a waterfall , rockery and some water park facilities…”
“Feihong, this is where we are going to live?” Sister Liu asked in a low voice.
Yu Feihong retracted his gaze, nodded and smiled: “Well, Mom, this is given to Tie Jun by the Lakers boss.”
“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 from top to bottom for a while, the group got back into the car and followed the winding mountain road to the villa below. Someone was waiting outside, and quickly opened the iron door, and the group’s car drove in.
After entering the iron gate, there is a straight road, and then it goes around the artificial lake for half a circle and stops in front of the main gate of the villa.
“Old K, I suggest you hire a housekeeper.” Hawksman said while looking at the villa enviously.
He knew how much the villa cost, a total of 16.8 million US dollars, and the Lakers invested in Old K.
But he also knows that the Lakers will not lose money, but will make big profits because of the old K, and all investment will pay off quickly.
The price of season tickets for the Lakers in the new season has skyrocketed by 245% compared to last season. It was on sale three days ago, and it has all 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 old K’s jersey sales are even hotter, not only in Los Angeles, but also in China. At present, it has not only occupied the first place in the sales of Lakers jerseys, but also the first jersey sales in the whole league. It is still in Jordan’s Knicks. On top of sales of the No. 23 jersey.
Other benefits will follow, such as broadcast revenue and so on.
Next, under the leadership of Old Bass, everyone first visited this large castle-like villa, and then, under the witness of the lawyer, Old Wang signed the title deed, and the manor-style villa was officially under his name.
“Old K, Mr. Anschutz, the shareholder of the Lakers, has already planned to build a multi-purpose gymnasium. By the way, just like your K-era center, construction will start next year, and it will be completed in 1999. After two seasons of our Lakers Will move into a modern new arena.” Old Buss said excitedly.
“New home? That’s great!” Pharaoh laughed.
West said: “Old K, now several workers here are hired on a temporary basis, and they will work here for a day. You need to hire another batch of workers and managers from the housekeeping company.”
“OK.” Old Wang nodded.
“Brother Tiejun, I’ll handle this matter. Most of them are brothers. There are five or six hundred people in the branch here. You can do it without asking anyone.” Liu Changjiang smiled.
“Can I let the brothers do these jobs? You move faster, I’m going to have a party in a few days, you need to find a housekeeper and then a group of workers, don’t forget.” Old Wang said.
“Got it.” Liu Changjiang nodded quickly.
Then the old Bath family and West left, while Magician and Lightning stayed behind.
“Old K, what happened to the trading company you said, is it reliable?” Barkley shouted excitedly as soon as Old Buss and the others left.
They came to Los Angeles specially because Pharaoh 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? You can just prepare a check.” Old Wang said.
“There are many times when you are unreliable.” Barkley muttered, but still nodded excitedly and asked: “There is no problem with the check, how much stake do I have?”
“This business is done by my two sisters and my wife. You set up a company here to trade with their trading company in China. They provide orders, and you are responsible for finding sources of goods, and vice versa, so each of you It is up to you to discuss how many shares an individual holds, and we will not participate.” Lao Wang said.
“Old K, you don’t own shares?” Kobe asked quickly.
“Yeah, you won’t take out the money after a long time?” Others also shouted.
“I own shares in domestic companies, but I don’t have shares in the United States.” Lao Wang said.
“That won’t work, you have the idea, you have to take out the money, what if we fool us?” Da Meng said quickly, and they all agreed.
“Xingxing, I have a share.” Lao Wang said helplessly.
“One share is missing, you must at least take three shares.” Buckley said, and the others nodded, as if they were about to bind Pharaoh.
“Three becomes 30%, I don’t want it anymore, my eldest sister, my wife and my wife are each 10%, okay?” Lao Wang said.
“Of course you can.”
When he said this, everyone was relieved. After all, he took the lead, and he would not be relieved if he did not join in. Only when everyone became a grasshopper on a rope can they be relieved.
“The exact amount of money will be paid out when my second sister comes. She will come tomorrow.” Old Wang said.
“ding ding…”
At this moment, the phone rang, and after a look, it was Big Mouth Roberts’ phone.
“Hello, Julia?”
“Old K, are you in Beverly Hills?”
“how do you know?”
“I was told by a media reporter.”
“Yes, I am number 136 here.”
“No. 136? I know, a villa that was just built last year is very beautiful. The owner hasn’t moved in yet. Did the Lakers owner buy it for you?”
“Yes, after I settle down in a few days, I plan to have a party and come over to play.”
“OK.”
Next, his phone never stopped.
This Beverly Hills is a city within a city, one of the wealthy districts in 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 the K martial arts hall.
In the next two days, Liu Changjiang completed the tasks given to him by Pharaoh, hired a white female housekeeper named Mrs. Mephis, and then nine other workers, including cooks, gardeners, babysitters, drivers and so on.
Under the arrangement of Mrs. Mephis, these workers quickly took over the work of the villa.
In addition, Liu Changjiang arranged for more than a dozen brothers from the martial arts hall to come and bury the plum blossom pile for Lao Wang, and it took a long time to get it done.
On the 4th, after Erya, who came from San Francisco, discussed with Yu Feihong, the registered capital of the trading company in the United States was set at 50 million US dollars, 5 million US dollars per share. Called Barkley and Lightning again, and they all agreed.
The three of Daya took three shares, Lightning, Lei Gong, Barkley, Big Dream, Kobe, and Magician each took one share, making a total of nine shares.
“You don’t even recognize the remaining one?” Pharaoh asked with his eyes wide open.
“Old K, it happens to be you.”
Lightning and the others looked at each other and shook their heads.
“Don’t regret it later?” Pharaoh asked again.
“No regrets.” Several people said.
“That’s settled, I recognize the last one.” Old Wang said.
Er Ya, Daya and Yu Feihong looked at each other and laughed.
“What are you laughing at?” Pharaoh asked curiously.
“Nothing.” Yu Feihong smiled.
She actually laughed because the three import and export trading companies they set up in China had already received a lot of orders as soon as they were established, half of which came from the hundreds of bosses in 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 in China, and garbage can be sold back.
What’s more, because of the K martial arts hall, they have a wide network of people in the United States, and they can easily find various sources of domestic needs. As long as they do it for a period of time, the reputation of domestic companies will open up, and they will not be able to receive all kinds of orders. .
The only problem with is the fear of running out of dollars.
Therefore, the company should try to find orders abroad as much as possible, and it is necessary to have in and out, otherwise the dollar in hand will soon be exhausted.
…
On the 5th, Zhang Lili, Su Qun and Hu Weidong came to Los Angeles from China, and went straight to Lao Wang to admire his mansion.
“Old Hu, play better in the new season. After this season, jump out of the contract and try to sign a big contract.” Pharaoh encouraged.
“I hope.” Lao Hu nodded.
He is already 27 years old, almost 28 years old, the chance to sign a big contract is this time, and there will definitely be no chance in the future.
“What about Dazhi?” Zhang Lili asked.
“He signed a contract with the King, and now the inside line is valuable. His second-round draft contract is ok, 1+1, the second-year player option, 750,000 in the first year, 1.02 million in the second year, and has been staying in the offseason. Over in Sacramento,” said Old Wang.
“Not bad, bigger than mine.” Lao Hu laughed.
Old Wang smiled and said: “Now his spoken language has improved a little, I hope he can stand firm in the king.”
…
6, Wang Tiejun’s family drove to the Great Western Forum Arena.
Today is a welcome ceremony arranged by the Lakers for him. It is not free. The average price of a ticket is 65 US dollars, and nearly 20,000 tickets have been snatched away.
“Old K! Old K! Old K…”
The car was blocked by countless Lakers fans outside the arena, and the shouts became louder and louder, and finally shook the world.
The two teams of security separated the fans and guided his car to move in. It took half an hour to drive into the parking lot.
Wang Aiguo and Liu Damei were also in the car. They were not surprised when they saw this scene, because in Fengshen Street, the scene was the same when his son went back.
As soon as he got to the parking lot, he saw old Buss, West, Magic Johnson and a group of executives waiting for him, as well as Kobe and a group of Lakers players.
“Old K, welcome to the Great Western Forum Arena.”
Wang Tiejun got out of the car, applause broke out, and Old Bass clapped.
He laughed, clasped his fists in return, and said with a smile, “I will be a part of the Lakers in the future. Let’s work together to reach the championship.”
“champion!”
Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin, who were traded to the Lakers, shouted excitedly at first, and other players followed suit.
“Clap clap clap…”
The smiles on Old Bass’s face were already piled up, and the applause became more and more powerful.
