Almighty Athlete Chapter 424: Another way
Being surrounded by a group of journalists, Zhang Guan is somewhat helpless.
"I don't really plan to go to nba." Zhang Guan said.
"But there is already news from the United States that the Los Angeles Lakers have sent someone to contact you!" the reporter asked chasingly.
"If I want to go to nba, I have been there two years ago, not waiting until now." Zhang Guan shrugged.
"It is reported that two years ago, you had reached an agreement with Boston Celtics, but the result was selected by the Lakers in advance. You are very dissatisfied with the news of the Lakers cutting off, so you have not been to nba?" Say something challenging.
Zhang Guan frowned slightly, these reporters like to write blindly, and sometimes they can write ugly without hatred. He had to say in response: "My relationship with the Los Angeles Lakers has been very harmonious. I will not go to NBA for the time being, mainly because my game tasks have always been relatively heavy."
"Temporarily? Are you going to go to nba in the future?" A reporter immediately asked.
"Well, but it should not go in the past two years. The new Olympic selection cycle is about to start, so my main task next year is to carry out restorative training for the Olympic projects and then to prepare for the 2012 Olympics. Prepare." Zhang Guan immediately changed the subject.
The topic of the Olympic Games has clearly aroused new interest from journalists, such as "Several gold medals for this Olympics", "London Olympics to participate in those events", "Do you have the confidence to surpass the Philippines in the Olympic gold medal list? All topics such as "Erps" were withdrawn by reporters.
After all, nba is only basketball sports, and basketball sports can only be regarded as a part of sports. Compared with the topic of the entire Olympics, the latter is more able to attract people's attention.
......
Zhang Guan leaned on the sofa and took a breath. It was indeed a very troublesome thing to deal with reporters. It could not be said more or less. If you talk a lot, the reporters will misinterpret various meanings, but if you talk a little, the reporters will add fuel and vinegar to come up with various conjectures.
"These reporters are really troublesome!" Zhang Guan felt a little tired, closed his eyes and prepared to take a break, but the ringtone of the phone made him wake up.
"It's Huang Weida!" Zhang Guan immediately answered the phone.
Since the Athens Olympic Games, Zhang Guan has become a major customer of Fidelity Investment. Hong Kong Island is an international financial center after all. The overseas investment of Zhang Guan is mainly done through Huang Weida’s Fidelity Investment, and these investments are also for Zhang Guan has gained a lot of income. It can be said that Fidelity Investment is the manager of overseas assets of Zhang Guan.
"Dirty Xiansen (Mr. Zhang), Ao Huang Huangda (I am Huang Weida)!" Huang Weida said, his Mandarin is still a little vague, except for the three words "Huang Weida", Huang Weida has almost no one The words can be said to be round, but Zhang Guan is already used to them.
"Mr. Huang, what's the matter?" Zhang Guan asked.
"There is an investment, I don't know if you are interested?" Huang Weida aggravated the voice, and then said: "It is in the sports industry."
"Sports industry? What project?" Zhang Guan asked immediately.
"basketball, American nba." Huang Weida said.
"nba? Is it someone who wants to sell the team?" Zhang Guan asked, but in his mind, he began to recall that around 2010, there was a team owner in nba who wanted to sell the team.
"It's not selling the team, it's selling the team's shares." Huang Weida said.
"Oh, it's selling shares!" Zhang Guan nodded, but was very interested in the tone.
nba has developed rapidly in recent years, especially the pace of nationalization, and audiences in more than 200 countries around the world have begun to pay attention to this professional league, which has also brought many benefits to nba. At the same time, the shares of the nba team have become fragrant steamed buns.
In fact, not many of the nba teams can make a profit. The vast majority of the teams are losing money. Even the profitable teams have low returns, so the shareholders’ dividends are not much. From the perspective of gaining profits, investing in nba is not a profitable business. Even if the money is saved in the bank, some interest will be given, and if the NBA team loses money this year, the shareholders will certainly not get a penny.
But from an investment point of view, buying shares in the nba team is absolutely profitable. Because with the promotion of nba, the market value of the team has also continued to increase, and the team's shares will become more and more valuable. It may cost 10 million US dollars to buy the team's shares today, and it will be worth 20 million US dollars in a few years, and 30 million US dollars in a few years. The rate of return in terms of "times" means that you don't need to care about the profitable dividends.
Just like Jordan, he bought the Charlotte Bobcats to be his own boss. Although the Bobcats have been losing money every year and their record has been in the bottom line, the market value of the Bobcats has also been improved due to the impact of the NBA trend A lot, Joe’s personal assets have at least doubled.
Because of this, the shareholders of the nba team haven’t changed much, and things like team shares are also very popular with many big investors. Zhang Guan is also very interested in this.
So Zhang Guan asked: "Which team is going to sell shares?"
"It's a stock of the Los Angeles Lakers." Huang Weida said.
"The Lakers?" Zhang Guan involuntarily sat up straight.
With the Los Angeles Lakers' "Jianghu status" in the NBA, they sell shares, which may attract many investors.
On the other end of the phone, Huang Weida continued: "Magic Johnson bought a 4.5% stake in the Lakers in 1994, and this time he plans to sell the 4.5% stake. There are already many investors on Wall Street. I am very interested in this, but Johnson's asking price is a bit high, so many people are still hesitating. In addition, the Bass family is also a problem."
"I think the high asking price should not be a problem. After all, the price is negotiable. The main problem is the Bass family?" Zhang Guan said with a smile.
"One word hit!" Huang Weida continued: "If there is no recognition from the Bass family, I am afraid it is difficult to get this 4.5% stake in the Lakers."
"So how much does Johnson cost?" Zhang Guan then asked.
"50 million dollars." Huang Weida said.
"50 million US dollars, 4.5% of the shares, then his valuation for the Lakers is 1.111 billion US dollars." Zhang Guan began to calculate the value in the end.
"In the current situation of the Lakers, the valuation of $1 billion is a relatively reasonable price. After all, the Lakers did not disclose their debt. The $50 million is indeed slightly higher. If you are really interested, you can Talk about bargaining." Huang Weida said.
"It is best to bargain. If Johnson refuses to lower the price, he will be given $50 million!" Zhang Guan said without hesitation: "As for the Bass family, I will get it done!"
50 million US dollars to buy 4.5% of the Lakers shares worth? It must be great value! It is important to know that the Clippers in the same city will sell for $2 billion in the future, and with the Lakers’ heritage, the valuation of 1 billion is too low.
And what makes Zhang Guan determined is the future increase in the overall value of nba, such as the increase in the price of nba’s overall broadcast contract, which has greatly improved the market value of each team. Especially one year later, Time Warner and The Lakers signed a 25-year high-value broadcast contract of 5 billion US dollars ~ IndoMTL.com ~ so that the Lakers' broadcast fees exceeded Real Madrid and Barcelona, and the Lakers' market value has also risen all the way, approaching 3 billion US dollars.
Of course, the market value of 3 billion US dollars does not mean that you can buy the Lakers with 3 billion US dollars! High-quality assets like the Lakers may not always be available at a premium.
So in the future, some people comment that Magic Johnson sold the Lakers at this time is a huge loss. And Zhang Guan is obviously willing to be the one who picks up the cheap. What's more, the opportunity to buy the Lakers' shares is unprecedented, so Zhang Guan did not hesitate to buy the 4.5% shares of the Lakers.
Zhang Guan put down the phone and rubbed his temples.
"I didn’t want to have an intersection with the Lakers, but this time, it wouldn’t work without an intersection! But if this transaction is successful, although I didn’t become a Lakers player, I became a shareholder of the Lakers. It is another way to enter nba!" Zhang Guan thought silently.
