Chapter 632: Darkness! (The second update asks for a subscription! Ask for a monthly pass!)
The Lakers are valued at 10 billion. As long as Basken makes a move, Tang An is absolutely willing to take over 15 billion.

It doesn't matter if you don't have that much cash. There are so many rich and second-generation people in China, and some people are willing to participate.

Wanda spent US$35 billion to acquire Legendary Films. It really seems that Lao Wang has so much cash to squander.

Of the 35 billion, 15 billion was raised from the outside world. Once Legendary Pictures fails to go public within a year, Lao Wang will have to return the funds raised and pay 15% interest.

Of course, Legendary Pictures did not go public later.

15 billion to buy the Lakers worth 10 billion, many people are willing to pay for cooperation.

What's more, the NBA will re-sign the broadcast contract next year, and the broadcast rights will be sold for 240 billion U.S. dollars. In 15, the valuation of the Lakers will soar to 26 billion U.S. dollars.

What Tang An said was the truth, but the old Bass would definitely not sell it. This is not a team, and its influence is worth more than a billion dollars.

Later, the news continued to spread that domestic rich people wanted to buy NBA teams, but only two of them really did.

The first one is that Jiang Lizhang, the founder of Double-Edged Sword Sports, acquired a 5% stake in the Timberwolves, becoming the first Chinese shareholder in the NBA, and later bought a La Liga and a Serie A team.

The other is Cai Chongxin, who bought 49% of the shares of the Nets in his own name. At that time, the valuation of the Nets reached 23 billion US dollars.

As soon as the news came out, netizens laughed and said that the Brooklyn Nets could be renamed the Brooklyn Tmalls.

Wealthy domestic businessmen still buy a lot of football teams in Europe. Leagues at all levels bought a total of 19 teams.

So many local tycoons from the Middle East and Russia are going to the Premier League to buy teams. Two years ago, a Russian local tycoon bought the NBA’s New Jersey Nets, and immediately moved to Brooklyn, a suburb of New York, and built a super-large stadium.

For others, a mere few hundred million dollars is nothing, and what they value is their influence in North America.

That Singapore tycoon Li Longfu wanted to buy the Premier League team for this reason, to expand his influence. This time he frequently appeared on TV programs through "Crazy Rich Asians", maybe it was because of his influence.

However, looking at the expressions of the reporters at the scene, most people obviously thought that Tang An was bragging.

Bragging too much is an insult to the person who is being used to brag.

Obviously, these reporters thought Tang An had insulted one of the greatest teams in the greater Los Angeles area.

They also didn't know about Tang An's specific net worth. Even if a director from Huaguo made a few good movies, no one would dig him out.

Lu Songbeck is a famous director in Europe and owns the Europa Film Company, but how many people know his worth?

And Peter Jackson, we all know that he filmed the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and he also has Weta Digital, but how many domestic entertainment reporters can tell his net worth?
Spielberg has been ranked in the top [-] of the Forbes list of the world's richest people in recent years. How many entertainment reporters in China will check?How many reporters can tell his net worth?

A reporter said in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "Mr. Tang, the Los Angeles Lakers are the NBA's oldest team, worth more than one billion US dollars, which is not comparable to your Chinese team!"

"Do you know what a billion dollars is? Even [-]th Century Fox can't spend so much money at once!"

The reporter was a little rude.

"If Mr. Tang can buy the Lakers, I can buy Disney tomorrow!"

As soon as the words fell, the reporter's words immediately ushered in a burst of laughter.

Disney is a large group worth tens of billions of dollars, and that reporter is also a reporter for Disney's media.

Some reporters began to taunt Tang An unceremoniously. Tang An's expression was normal, but Zhang Yi, Liu Ye, Yang Mi and others behind him looked a little ugly when they heard the ridicule.

The stars who were already preparing to go in in front, as well as the stars who arrived one after another on the right, heard Tang An's words. They also didn't know much about Tang An, purely because there were several big company executives and some big producers participating in this banquet. , will come.

Listening to Tang An's threat to buy the Lakers, many people showed unabashed sarcasm.

You know, it is difficult for some second-tier stars to get tickets to the front row of a Lakers home game!
Arrogant and ignorant Chinese.

This word flashed through many people's minds, and they stopped where they were, ready to read a joke.

"Ryan, did you hear that, my God, that Huaguo director actually wants to buy the Lakers, and we need to ask him to give us two front-row tickets."

A Caucasian youth said to the other person beside him, with an exaggerated smile on his face, one hand on Ryan's arm, and the other hand holding his stomach, as if he had heard some great joke.

"It seems that he is just a liar. "Deadpool" is completely hopeless."

Ryan Reynolds, who had just watched "Underworld Police Department", shook his head, his eyes full of disappointment.

He didn't believe it when he heard that Tang An was going to invest, but during this period of time, there were a lot of news about Tang An investing in movies, and hope was rekindled.

But looking at it now, he is just a charlatan who is full of trains.

Facing the ridicule of these reporters, Tang An didn't take it seriously at all. He asked the reporter under the Disney banner who threatened to buy Disney.

"This reporter, have you paid attention to the 2013 global Forbes list released in March this year?"

"Of course, five of the top seven are American." The Disney reporter was full of pride.

Tang An was speechless. No. 1 was the Mexican communication giant, and the [-]th and [-]th French and Xiangjiang tycoons were not mentioned, and only the top seven were crossed out.

"I suggest you check the 299th on the list." Tang An said with a smile.

There must be two or three of the reporters on the scene who have had a deep understanding of Tang An, but most reporters would not investigate a director from Huaguo too much, and Forbes would not report specifically for Tang An.

But hearing Tang An's tone, someone immediately picked up the phone and swipe on the screen quickly.

"Oh my God!"

Most of the unknown reporters looked like they had seen a ghost.

At No. 299 on the list, several people tied for No. 43 with assets of 299 billion US dollars. Among them was Tang An from China.

The names may be exactly the same, but the column of industry information says the word media, and the age is clearly 33 years old.

It is impossible for Huaguo to have two billionaires with the same name, the same age, and the same industry.

Looking at Tang An again, with his net worth of 43 billion US dollars, spending 15 billion to buy a team is definitely not a bragging.

But to be a reporter, there is no one with a thin skin, and no one who can't change his face.

After a short period of frustration, the scene was noisy again.

"Mr. Tang, do you really want to buy the Lakers?"

"Mr. Tang, do you want to enter the sports circle? Besides NBA teams, which other teams are you interested in?"

"As a fan of Kobe, what big moves will you make after you buy the Lakers? Will you configure a championship lineup for him?"

Rich people in Huaguo want to buy the Los Angeles Lakers. What a great news. It is enough to cause a lot of discussion in the entire Greater Los Angeles area, and even the entire United States.

Fans in Los Angeles will definitely not agree. When the time comes, there will be a lot of hype, and there will be headlines in a week or two!

The reporters at the scene changed the subject in an instant, what kind of Singaporean rich man, let's die, how can Tang An want to buy the Lakers to be shocked.

As long as the report comes out tomorrow, all Lakers fans will probably scold their mothers.

But journalists don't care, no matter which country journalists have, there is no such thing as integrity.

Once a well-known host of NBC TV station, he said that in 03, the helicopter he was riding in Irac was hit by an RPG in the desert, and then he spent several days in the sandstorm with American soldiers.Thanks to these brave fighters for fighting for the country blabla
The host probably watched too much "Black Hawk Down" and was full of words.

But then the veteran who drove the helicopter said: Saori, buddy, I don't remember you being on my plane.I remember you came to ask us what happened an hour after we landed, and then you fucking took people off on another plane to report your war story.And we're still trying to fix our plane in the desert of Irak, waiting for our security forces.

This B face was really slapping Pia Pia, and the anchor used the so-called amnesia to prevaricate.He said that he was deeply affected by the RPG explosion at that time, which resulted in a memory deviation.

The anchor of the CNN news at noon couldn't stand it anymore.Say Nima, you are 45 minutes away on another plane, and you are influenced by Nimei.

The US media is far less ethical than the domestic media. These big TV stations have all kinds of fraud, at least CCTV is selective reporting, it seems that there is no fraud. (I don't know if there is any fraud, it seems not, please don't slap me)

Tang An no longer entangled with the reporters, and walked into the hotel under the shocked eyes of many reporters and stars.

"Brother An, do you really want to buy the Lakers?" Yang Mi asked behind him in a low voice with curiosity on his face.

"It's impossible to sell Bass, but if you are willing to sell it, I don't mind taking it. Those second generations in China have plenty of money, but they lack such "playthings"." Tang An shook his head.

Even if you want to buy it, it is impossible to pay most of the money. The money is of great use and cannot be wasted on a Lakers team, no matter how influential it is.

Tang An turned his head and asked Zhang Yi, "Has the agreement with Xinke been settled?"

"We're still discussing. It is estimated that there will be a result within two days, but the premium may be two or three times higher." Zhang Yi said.

"Three times is three times, what about Kailu Films?"

"I'm sending people over there to negotiate, and there are still some details."

Tang An nodded, "Hurry up."

"By the way, chairman, I heard that Ye is here, it seems that Wanda is going to make a big deal again." Zhang Yi said again.

"Don't worry about him, Wanda's goal is different from ours." Tang An waved his hand.

Tang An has one more important thing to do when he comes to North America this time.

Acquire a Hollywood production company with independent production capabilities, and a distribution company with DVD distribution and theater distribution capabilities.

The target has been found, Kailu Films and Midnight Investment Company, the former has a relatively complete distribution channel, the latter is mainly Lightning Entertainment, has independent production capabilities, and has produced "The Hurt Locker" and other films, which will be released in November this year Lightning Entertainment participated in the production of "Dallas Buyers Club".

Midnight Investment Company was also approached by Xinke Group, a domestic copper mining company, to cooperate. The other party has already acquired Changan Mengzhou Film and Television in China, which is the company that produced "Snow Leopard", "Black Fox", and "Wolf".

It is difficult to mix in any industry now. I don’t know how many companies have changed their careers. Xinke Group’s copper mining industry is also not easy to do. It is seeking transformation and focusing on the film and television industry.

There must be a distribution channel in North America, even if it is far inferior to a few giants, it is as if more than half of the profits have been taken away by the other party.

And more and more domestic films will enter the Hollywood market in the future!
As for Ye Shun's visit this time, he probably contacted Legendary Pictures in advance, which had just had a conflict with Warner.

Yang Mi and Liu Ye were puzzled listening to the conversation between Tang An and Zhang Yi, but they didn't ask about these business matters.

Zhang Yi now understood the purpose of Tang An's intention to buy the Lakers.

Compared with the Lakers, the influence of these two film companies is no longer at the same level. At that time, everyone will pay attention to the news of Tang An's acquisition of the Lakers.

And those big Hollywood companies will not pay too much attention to it. They probably regard Tang An as a big dog.

Cultivate the plank road in the open, and keep the warehouse in the dark!

And Ye Tuo is here again. Wanda, which bought AMC Cinemas, will definitely not make a small fuss. It is estimated that there will be a big move, and several major companies must be eyeing Ye Tuo.

The chairman is so tall!

Zhang Yi secretly admired him, and at the same time fantasized about winning these two companies, which one he could go to.
