Why does this sports news hit the country?
Because a reporter found out that the name of the mysterious rich businessman who bought Liverpool was——
"Li Zhi!"
This is obviously a Chinese name, but there is no rich businessman named Li Zhi in China, which makes people guess.
It is impossible to find out deeply, because Li Zhi is actually Li Ke's cousin Li Zhi, who graduated from college and has run insurance for many years, so he is really unknown.
When Li Ke started WeChat, he needed a corporate legal person standing on the stage. As Li Ke's only cousin, Li Zhi did his part.
Also because the legal person of the company is his cousin Li Zhi, when WeChat was sold, the domestic and foreign reports were only that Google bought WeChat with more than 180 billion US dollars.
Li Zhi was exposed in the acquisition of Liverpool this time, which was also within Li Ke's expectations.
Because of the acquisition of Liverpool this time, domestic hype has continued, and foreign gossip has not stopped, and the attention is quite high.
First, Zhu Jun announced that he would raise 8 million pounds to acquire Liverpool.
When everyone felt that they had stabilized, they didn't know that Jun Zhu was just bragging.
As well as Huang Jianhua, Yang Guang, etc. who really took action, they have indeed entered the negotiation stage.
But because the difference between the bid and the ask price was too large, it failed in the end.
Fenway Sports is the closest to a successful acquisition. Originally, they had paid 3.5 million US dollars, and Liverpool was about to let go.
Li Ke suddenly intervened and offered a price of 4 million U.S. dollars. Fenway Sports didn't want to let go directly and was forced to start bidding.
But in terms of cash flow, no rich man in the world can compare to the current Li Ke.
After several rounds of bidding, Li Ke paid 5.5 million US dollars and persuaded Fenway Sports to quit.
This price is a bit of a premium, because including the $3 million in debt that needs to be paid off after the acquisition, Li Ke will spend a total of $8.5 million for this acquisition.
This does not include the cost of repairing the Anfield stadium and training base, which may add up to more than 10 billion US dollars.
Considering the current situation that Liverpool has been losing money in recent years...
On the whole, this high-priced acquisition at this time seems unwise.
But as a traveler, Li Ke didn't feel that the price was a premium.
Only he knows that the $5.5 million acquisition of Liverpool is too damn expensive!
Ten years from now, $30 billion won't buy Liverpool.
At the same time, in Li Ke's view, this acquisition is also a huge investment.
It is not necessary to mention how fierce the commercial development of the Premier League will be in the future, nor to emphasize the fact that football clubs have been appreciating in value as their commercial value increases.
Just starting with Li Ke's future memories is enough to help him make a lot of money.
After completing the acquisition, he directly sent Lu Ning to the British mainland, and at the same time gave Lu Ning a list.
On the list, several future famous coaches are first listed, such as Klopp, Tuchel, Conte, Allegri, Pochettino and so on.
Then the players—
First of all, Li Ke requested that the team must buy Neymar, who is still playing for Santos at this time and is already a little famous.
For Mbappe, who is currently in the Kleidanfeng youth training camp, he must also start early.
Secondly, for each position, Li Ke has listed several future top players who are more maneuverable at this time.
For example, for the forward position, Li Ke gave these names: Lukaku who is currently playing for Anderlecht in the Ligue [-], Suarez from Ajax in the Eredivisie, and Aubameyang who is playing in Monaco in the Ligue [-].
Another example is the goalkeeper position, Alisson of the Brazil International Youth Team, Ter Stegen of the Borussia Monchengladbach Youth Team, Courtois of Genk and Oblak of Benfica.
In addition to the top few in the future for each position, Li Ke, who knows the importance of the account book, also gave some options for the account book in each position.
Harry Kane, who is still in the Tottenham youth team, Sancho from the Watford youth team, Grealish from the Aston Villa youth training, Stones from the Barnsley youth training, Walker who has not yet become the main force of Tottenham, etc.
As long as the head coach is replaced by one of the names listed by Li Ke, the players can buy as long as they can according to the list given by Li Ke, use as long as they can, and rent if they can’t.
First of all, ensure that Liverpool play well, and then become a human trafficker. Football is a business that can make a lot of money.
Overall, the acquisition of Liverpool is only the first step in Li Ke's investment in sports. In this acquisition, he established a sports company called Lake.
The next step is to learn from Dayao and acquire a CBA team.
This step is not for making money. Li Ke just wants to use this CBA team to engage in youth training and find a way to save the declining men's basketball team.
Acquiring an NFL team is also in Li Ke's plan. He doesn't know much about the history of rugby, so this step is not as much considered as the acquisition of Liverpool.
It's purely because I know that the value of the NFL in the future will not be low, even higher than the NBA in the United States.
If you can make money, do it!
Finally, there is the NBA.
Making cousin Li Zhi a legal person standing in front of the stage is preparing for the acquisition of the NBA.
The NBA does not have relevant regulations prohibiting players from buying teams, but there are related unspoken rules.
When Lao Qiao was the general manager of the Wizards, he had some shares in the Wizards. Later, when he came back, he had to sell the shares.
As a result, two years later, he wanted to re-invest in the Wizards, but was rejected. Only then did he realize that he had been calculated.
As for the retired old Joe, he is indeed not very smart for everything he did...
So in the same way, Li Ke cannot directly become the owner of the NBA, and neither can his parents.
All Li Ke could think of was his cousin Li Zhi.
Using his cousin Li Zhi, he indirectly became the owner of the NBA.
The preparations are complete, but Li Ke will not take this step in the NBA for the time being.
First of all, Li Ke doesn't know where the Bobcats will go in the future, and it's not like he hasn't thought about buying Bobcats shares from Robert Johnson with his own money.
But he knew that the Bobcats were Jordan's team.
After retiring, Old Joe's character is not so strong, but it doesn't mean that he can really tolerate his players becoming the major shareholders of the team above him.
Li Ke doesn't want to touch this Nilin, which may or may not exist.
Second, once he completes the acquisition of a certain team, he will no longer play for other teams.
Therefore, Li Ke is waiting, waiting for an opportunity that really belongs to him.
……
There is a lot of quarreling in China over the new Liverpool boss Li Zhi, and for the time being, Li Ke has not been associated with this so-called Lake Sports Company.
Li Ke on the other side of the ocean just smiled when he saw these discussions on the Internet of his motherland.
Soon, this group of domestic sports fans will know who the behind-the-scenes owner of Lake Sports is.
"The acquisition of a CBA team is always exposed."
Looking back at the NBA, there are still three days before Christmas Eve, and the Bobcats are already making preparations for their trip to Los Angeles.
"Do you think we can win this Christmas game? Speaking of which, since you joined the team, we haven't lost a focus game similar to the Christmas game..."
Old Joe is still not very confident, although his team has now won ten consecutive victories.
Li Ke can understand that, after all, the Lakers are the defending champions. So far this year, their 21 wins and 8 losses are not bad at all, and they look like they are going to hit the three consecutive championships.
Coupled with the sweeping momentum of the Lakers against the Bobcats in the finals of last season, there is no psychological confidence.
Li Ke can see through the essence, so he told Old Joe: "I can't lose. This year's Lakers are no different from previous years."
"It's not as good as in previous years, but they are still ranked in the top three in the West?"
"Regular season results don't mean anything. Are the Spurs still No. [-] in the Western Conference? I said he will be blacked out in the playoffs. Do you believe it?"
"Heiba? How is it possible?"
Old Qiao shook his head, of course he didn't believe it.
Li Ke suddenly thought: "How about taking a gamble? I bet this year's Spurs will be hacked."
"Just bet..."
Although the historical line has changed a lot, judging from this season, the Spurs have a high probability of being No. [-] in the Western Conference, and the Grizzlies are also likely to be No. [-] in the Western Conference.
If the Grizzlies really want to meet the Spurs, the possibility of copying the Black Eight is too great.
The bet was only 2 U.S. dollars, and Li Ke couldn't make much money. He just wanted to teach Old Qiao a lesson.
The Lakers lost their dominance this season, in the final analysis, it is Kobe's decline.
In the two seasons of the scoring champion and the two seasons of winning the championship, Kobe's indiscriminate singles were the weapon for the Lakers to sweep the league.
But this season, Kobe's indiscriminate singles didn't work.
Specific to the game, the Lakers' losses to the Suns, Cavaliers, and Bulls all reflect this.
The most unimaginable thing is that the Lakers experienced a four-game losing streak at the end of November.
In the two seasons of the Lakers' two consecutive championships, there has never been a losing streak of three or more games.
The decline in the dominance of the Lakers and Kobe is actually not fatal.
Because if no new dominant team emerges, the Lakers still have a chance.
The problem is that a new dominant team has emerged.
Whether it is the Lone Ranger in the West who is not yet visible at the moment, or the Cavaliers who are still struggling in the East, they already have the foundation to dominate the NBA this season.
With the addition of Li Ke's Bobcats, it can be said that the Lakers' three-peat dream is destined to be shattered.
……
The focus of this Christmas battle is not just the replay of last season's finals, nor just Li Ke VS Kobe...
Media reporters are more concerned about what kind of state Andrew Bynum will appear in front of Li Ke after a unilateral beating in the finals of last season.
And what kind of attitude will Li Ke use to face An Zhu?
The plane landed at Los Angeles Airport, surrounded by a large number of reporters, who raised many questions related to An Zhu.
Li Ke did not avoid the interview, but walked quickly to the end of the VIP channel, turned around, and answered in unison: "It's been a long time, and I haven't answered any questions related to that beating, but now, I think I need to explain why I punched..."
"Gerald is a good player. He played very hard and never made any dirty moves. But in that game, I clearly saw that Andrew Bynum's elbow pierced Gerrard's chest. It was an action that should not appear on the basketball court. Therefore, I chose to solve the problem by means outside the basketball court."
"If I were Andrew Bynum, I would never play against the Bobcats, because the court is full of accidents, and no one knows when the accident will come..."
One day before Christmas Eve, Li Ke came with such a meaningful warning.
Then it was time for public opinion to ferment. Li Ke, as the instigator, paid close attention to public opinion.
It was Old Qiao who called first.
"Why did you say those things before the game?"
"What do you think?"
"Don't mess around. Stu Jackson just called me and said that the league is paying close attention. After a while, the league will issue an announcement to warn you of your remarks."
"Don't worry, I won't mess around."
Li Ke really didn't have any reckless thoughts, he was just waiting.
He didn't wait for any voice from the Lakers. It seemed that no one was willing to stand up and speak for Anzhu, including Kobe.
By this time, Li Ke was already very satisfied.
On Christmas Eve, Li Ke and the Great Sage met and went to Long Beach together.
After taking Serena and chatting for a few words, Li Ke knew that there were too few, too few teams with a monolithic locker room like the Bobcats.
"Old Fish is the leader of the locker room, but the whole team has a good relationship with him in private, only Odom."
"Kobe and Gasol have a good relationship, Jordan Farmar, Sasha Vujacic and Luke Walton have a good relationship, and everyone else is almost an individual."
In Dasheng's description, the Lakers' locker room is a mess, there are no small groups, but don't expect this group of people to be united.
Look at the piston again:
"Ben's status in the Pistons is detached, and other than that, everyone is the same."
"If you want to differentiate, I have a better relationship with Will Bynum, Ben Gordon, Austin Daye, Greg Monroe, and Rodney Stucky has a better relationship with Charlie Villanueva, Jason Maxhill."
There is a small group of Pistons. It is roughly the old players who are in the group, and the newcomers are also forced to report to the group.
In fact, Li Ke is not optimistic about Serena's future in the Pistons, because Joe Dumars' draft is a bit of a failure.
This year's No. 7 pick selected Monroe and missed George, Gordon Hayward and others.
After rebuilding and rebuilding, the Pistons can now be regarded as players with a future, or only Serena Williams.
However, Serena is in the East, and there are not many opportunities to touch Beverly.
Serena Williams, who is healthy and able to fly and escape, may have a completely different career.
……
By the time we left Long Beach, it was already Christmas Day.
Li Ke waved goodbye to the Great Sage in downtown Los Angeles, then joined his teammates, rested in the hotel for a while, and got an official news from the Lakers.
"Andrew Bynum will miss tonight's Christmas game due to illness."
Li Ke smiled. Finally, he still waited for this news.
An Zhu's absence was within his expectation. Who made Li Ke hit An Zhu directly in the finals of last season?
This beating terrified An Zhu directly, and made him lose his mind.
After laughing for a while, Li Ke still felt it was a pity.
This Anzhu, why did he get so cowardly?
