Chapter 1202: Efficient acquisition

(New book seeking collection and recommendation!)

In the next week or so, Yang Cheng and Luo Yue played all the entertainment activities on the island, such as fishing, diving, beach horse riding, surfing, and parachuting. Of course, Yang Cheng was in charge of playing more often, and Luo Yue was in charge. The audience gave cheers and applause in a timely manner to bring the role of Mimei to life.

The 2016 Lunar New Year just passed. Yang Sen and Liu Yun flew back to New York on the Yuanshan ship ahead of schedule. They are different from Yang Cheng. After only a week of rest, work piled up. If you don’t go back, the company is about to stop operating. .

On Valentine's Day, Yang Cheng transferred a business jet from Singapore and carried him and Luo Yue back to Los Angeles.

The reason why he didn't return to New York was because Yang Cheng was ready to complete an acquisition.

The conversation with Matt Sitz in Laucala Island made him decide to enter the American Sports League again after the NBA and NFL, but this time the goal is MLS, which is the Major League Soccer.

And his goal is a new army-Los Angeles FC.

Although this name is new, it does not mean that there is no historical background. The predecessor of Los Angeles FC is Chivas USA, a long-standing Los Angeles team. In 2014, the former club withdrew from the capital and was taken over by the MLS League until the dawn of turning over last year.

Many celebrities in the cultural and sports circles in Los Angeles have joined forces with the big international gold lords to take the shares of Los Angeles FC and challenged MLS with ambition. The team has not yet obtained the right to participate, but the movement is not small at all. The city’s rival Los Angeles Galaxy will issue player transfer announcements at every turn, and Los Angeles FC will announce a new boss to join every once in a while.

If this progress continues, the number of shareholders may be more than the number of registered players.

But now that Yang Cheng decided to intervene, the matter became less complicated and money opened the way.

As early as when he was tempted to acquire a major league team, Yang Cheng immediately asked Ritz to choose an acquisition target for himself.

Yang Orange must be a big city team such as New York or Los Angeles, and the last time it must be Chicago or Houston, so the scope is reduced a lot.

There are a total of 4 teams in New York and Los Angeles. Needless to say, the Red Bull in New York is backed by the Red Bull Group and is not short of money. It is also located in New York and it is basically impossible to win.

The other New York City football team has a bigger backing. Behind it is Mansour, the owner of Manchester City. He is also an old acquaintance with Yang Cheng. Not bad money is one aspect. Yang Cheng is not good at grabbing things from friends. Besides, Manchester City is also playing. It was acquired with the purpose of turning it into a satellite team. Another major shareholder in New York City is the New York Yankees, so there is no need to say more about its position in New York.

In short, the two teams in New York are the masters who can't afford to spend money and can give up.

The owner of Los Angeles Galaxy is Philip Anschutz, his wealth is not inferior to Yang Cheng, his family background is deep, and he is also one of the founders of MLS. In recent years, the Los Angeles Galaxy has repeatedly exploded big shots, which are the result of Philip Anschutz's strong support. With this scale of investment, the opponent has no chance of selling the team.

Count and count, only the newly established Los Angeles FC is good for bullying. One is that the shareholders behind it are complicated, and when there are too many people, they will not be unified. Don’t look at the alliances that said well. They must achieve careers together, but they involve their own interests and careers. It's shit.

Based on the minds of those stylistic stars, investing in a team is not to be famous or to make money. Most of the latter are the latter. Since this is the case, why does Yang Orange hesitate?

Ryze doesn’t even need to come forward with this little thing. Just send a team of his staff to come to the door to talk about it, and Yang Cheng has set a budget of up to 20%. If they still can’t get some shares, they can pack and go. Up.

This was not in the short week of Yang Orange’s vacation. The acquisition team took 31.7% of the shares at a rapid pace and cost less than 50 million US dollars. Los Angeles FC, which did not play a game, is now Yang Chengsheng’s value was raised to 150 million U.S. dollars. This was due to the launch of the new stadium plan. Otherwise, I am afraid that it would not even be worth 100 million.

But then again, for those celebrities in style and sports, they have not only recovered their investment capital but also made more than 10% of the income in just one year. This is definitely an investment case that can blow the first half of the year.

In fact, it is exactly the same. At all Beverly parties these days, the hottest topic is that there is a big local tyrant who madly takes over the Los Angeles FC shares in the hands of big stars. While these stars make a fortune, they also let The whole MLS shouted the wolf is coming.

In the beginning, the confidentiality measures were done well. In order not to be caught up in the price, the acquisition team was divided into N groups, and several shareholders were consulted almost at the same time. The rude bidding style made the celebrities moved in a few clicks. I sold the shares as soon as I said, and after a piece of news came out, a clever person gathered it up. Those stars who thought they had taken a big advantage were surprised to find that there was a big guy who came forward to grab the cake, if he followed the big guy. Can you drink more soup?

The minority shareholders who sold their shares sighed, but it didn't help.

But Yang Cheng’s good luck ends here, because those scattered stocks that are easier to get have almost been acquired, and the remaining shares are concentrated in the hands of major shareholders. These people are all business elites, and they can take advantage of them. Difficult.

In Jason Manor, I met Yanklovsky, the person in charge of the Los Angeles FC acquisition project, a Belgian-American with Slavic descent. He has lived in the United States for more than 20 years, and his thinking and language are fully integrated into the American style. Style, there is no barrier to communication ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Team members are still trying to reach shareholders who hold relatively few shares, but the efficiency is significantly reduced, and most shareholders are waiting for the price. "

As soon as Yang Cheng entered the door, he saw Yanklovsky. Before he had time to change his clothes, Luo Yue, who went upstairs to change clothes first, came down, helped take off Yang Cheng’s coat, and asked White to give him a cup of hot tea. Quite the demeanor of the hostess of the manor.

After Luo Yue greeted Janklovsky, Yang Cheng immediately asked, "Temporarily give up contact with minority shareholders and go all-out to attack major shareholders. Who owns more than 20% of the shares now?"

Yanklovsky printed all the materials in his head and replied without hesitation, "Malaysian rich man Chen Zhiyuan is also the owner of the Premier League Cardiff City team."

Yang Cheng pondered for a while, picked up his mobile phone and called Ian Al in Liverpool, "Ian, it's me. You contacted Cardiff City on behalf of Liverpool and bought 20% of Los Angeles FC from them. In return, we can Sell ​​several players to them, you and Mr. Love will decide the list."

Ian El was having dinner with his family at this time. Hearing Yang Cheng's instructions, he almost instinctively should. No matter what he said, he should come down first.
