Why did this sports news spread in China?
Because a reporter revealed that the mysterious wealthy businessman who acquired Liverpool was provided with the name-
“li    zhi!”
This is obviously a Chinese name, but there is no wealthy businessman in China named Li     zhi, which makes people guess.
It is impossible to dig deep, because it is actually Li Ke's cousin Li Zhi, who graduated from college and has been running for insurance for many years. He is really anonymous person.
When Li Ke was engaged in Wechat, he needed a company legal person standing on the table. As Li Ke’s only cousin, Li Zhi took it as the only cousin.
Because the company's legal person was cousin Li Zhi, when we sold wechat, domestic and foreign reports were only Google's acquisition of wechat for more than 18 billion US dollars.
Li Zhi was exposed in the acquisition of Liverpool this time, which was within Li Ke's expectations.
Because of Liverpool's acquisition, domestic hype has been constantly, foreign rumors have never stopped, and the attention has been paid.
First, Zhu Jun announced that he would raise 800 million pounds of funds to acquire Liverpool.
When everyone felt that they were stable, they didn't know that Zhu Jun was just bragging.
As for Huang Jianhua, Yang Guang and others who have really made some moves, they have indeed entered the negotiation stage.
But because the bid and asking price are too different, it eventually failed.
Fenway Sports is the closest to the successful acquisition. They had already paid $350 million, but Liverpool was about to give in.
Li Ke suddenly intervened and sold $400 million. Fenway Sports did not want to let go directly and was forced to start bidding.
But in terms of cash flow, the richest people around the world are not as good as Li Ke now.
After several rounds of bidding, Li Ke paid $550 million and persuaded Fenway Sports to withdraw.
This price is a bit of a premium, because with the $300 million debt that needs to be paid off after the acquisition, Li Ke will spend a total of $850 million in this acquisition.
This does not include the cost of repairing Anfield Stadium and training base, and it may have to exceed $1 billion in total.
Including the current situation where Liverpool has been losing money in recent years...
Overall, this high-priced acquisition seems unwise at this time.
But as a time traveler, Li Ke does not feel that the price is a premium.
Only he knows that Liverpool, which was acquired for $550 million, is so terrible!
Ten years later, Liverpool cannot be bought with $3 billion.
At the same time, in Li Ke's view, this acquisition is also a huge investment.
Not to mention how fierce the commercial development of the Premier League will be in the future, nor do we need to emphasize the fact that football clubs have been appreciating as their commercial value increases.
Starting from Li Ke’s memory alone is enough to help him make a lot of money.
After completing the acquisition, he sent Lu Ning directly to the British mainland and gave Lu Ning a list at the same time.
On the list, several future famous head coaches are listed first, Klopp, Tuchel, Conte, Allegri, Pochettino and others.
Next is the player—
First of all, Li Ke asked the team to buy Neymar, who is still playing for Santos and is already well-known.
Mbappe, who is now at the Claydanfond Academic Training Camp, must also start early.
Secondly, in each position, Li Ke listed several future top players with strong operability at this time.
For example, in the forward position, Li Ke gave these names: Lukaku, who is currently playing for Anderlecht, Suarez of Ajax of Eredivisie, and Aubameyang of Ligue 1, Monaco.
For example, the goalkeeper position is Alisson of the Brazil International Youth Team, Ter Stegen of the Borussia Mönchengladbach Youth Team, Courtois of Bigenk and Oblak of Benfica.
In addition to the first few days of the future world in each location, Li Ke, who is well aware of the importance of a household registration book, has also given some alternatives to a household registration book in each location.
Harry Kane, who is still in the Tottenham youth team, Sancho of Watford youth team, Galish of Aston Villa youth training, Stones of Barnsley youth training, Walker, who has not yet become the main player of Tottenham.
As long as the head coach changes into one of the names listed by Li Ke, the players will buy it according to the list given by Li Ke, and use it if it can be used, and rent it if it cannot be used.
First, ensure that Liverpool can achieve good results, and then be a human trafficker. The football business can make a lot of money.
Overall, the acquisition of Liverpool is just Li Ke's first step in investing in sports. This time, he established a sports company called Lake.
The next step is to learn from Yao Yao and acquire a CBA team.
This step is not to make money. Li Ke just wants to use this CBA team to do youth training and find ways to save the declining men's basketball team.
The acquisition of an NFL team was also planned by Li Ke. He doesn't know much about the history of rugby, and this step is not as much as the acquisition of Liverpool.
It is purely because I know that the value of NFL is also very popular in the future, and it is even higher than NBA in the United States.
If you have money to make money, then do it!
Finally, it's NBA.
Letting cousin Li Zhi become a legal person standing in front of the stage is preparing for the acquisition of NBA.
NBA does not have relevant regulations that prohibit players from acquiring teams, but there are relevant unspoken rules.
When Lao Qiao was the general manager of the Wizards, he had some Wizards' shares. Later, he returned and had to sell his shares.
As a result, he wanted to re-enter the Wizards two years later, but was rejected, and then he realized that he had been plotted against.
If you talk about the retired Lao Qiao, who did everything he did, is indeed not very smart, Yazi...
So, similarly, Li Ke cannot become the NBA boss directly, and his parents are likely not to be able to do it.
All Li Ke could think of was his cousin Li Zhi.
Using cousin Li Zhi, he became the NBA boss indirectly.
The preparations are done, but Li Ke will not take this step for the time being.
First of all, Li Ke did not know where the Bobcat's future would go, and he had not thought that he had invested in the acquisition of Bobcat shares in Robert Johnson's hands.
But he knew that the Bobcats were Jordan's team.
After retiring, Lao Qiao's personality is not that strong, but it does not mean that he can really tolerate his players becoming the major shareholders of the team above him.
Li Ke didn't want to touch this reverse scale that may or may not exist.
Secondly, once he completes the acquisition of a certain team, he will no longer play for other teams.
So, Li Ke was waiting for an opportunity that really belonged to him.
...
In China, Li Zhi, the new Liverpool boss, was furious and he didn't think of Li Ke for the so-called Lake Sports company.
Li Ke from the other side of the ocean just smiled when he saw these discussions on the motherland's Internet.
Soon, this group of domestic sports fans will know who the boss behind Lake Sports is.
"Acquiring CBA teams is always exposed."
The sight returned to NBA, and there were three days left before Christmas Eve, and the bobcats were already preparing for their trip to Los Angeles.
"Do you think we can win this Christmas battle? Speaking of which, since you joined the team, we have not lost the focus battle similar to the Christmas battle..."
Lao Qiao is still not very confident, although his team has won ten consecutive victories now.
Li Ke can understand that after all, the Lakers are the defending champions. Since the current year, their 21 wins and 8 losses are not bad at all, and they look like they are going to win three consecutive championships.
In addition, the Lakers swept against the Bobcats in the finals last season, so they didn't have much confidence.
Li Ke can see through the essence, so he told Lao Qiao: "If you can't lose, the Lakers this year are no longer as good as in previous years."
"Not like in previous years, but they are still ranked among the top three in the West?"
"The regular season results do not mean anything. Are the Spurs still the top spot in the Western Conference? I said he will be black-haired in the playoffs. Do you believe it?"
"Black Eight? How is it possible?"
Old Qiao shook his head, of course he didn't believe it.
Li Ke suddenly thought: "Why not have a gamble? I bet that the Spurs will be blacklisted this year."
"Go ahead..."
Although the historical line has changed a lot, from this season, the Spurs are likely to be the first in the West, and the Grizzlies are also likely to be the eighth in the West.
If this Grizzlies really encounter the Spurs, it is too likely to copy the Black Eight.
The bet is only 20,000 US dollars, Li Ke can't make much, he just wants to teach Lao Qiao a lesson.
The Lakers lost their dominance this season, and in the final analysis, Kobe's decline.
In those two seasons of the scoring champion and those two seasons of winning the championship, Kobe's indiscriminate singles were a weapon for the Lakers to sweep the league.
But this season, Kobe's indiscriminate singles won't work.
Specifically in the game, the Lakers' defeat against the Suns, the Cavaliers, and the Bulls all reflect this.
The most unimaginable thing is that the Lakers also experienced a four-game losing streak at the end of November.
In the two seasons where the Lakers won two consecutive championships, there has never been a three-game or more consecutive defeats.
The decline in dominance of the Lakers and Kobe is actually not fatal.
Because if there is no new dominant team emerging, the Lakers still have a chance.
The problem is that new dominant teams have emerged.
Whether it is the Mavericks who are not yet visible in the West or the Knights who are still struggling in the East, they have the foundation to dominate this season.
With Li Ke's Bobcats, it can be said that the Lakers' dream of three consecutive championships is destined to be broken.
...
The focus of this Christmas battle is not just a reenactment of last season finals, but also not just Li Ke vs Kobe...
What media reporters are more concerned about is what kind of state Andrew Bynum will appear in front of Li Ke after a one-sided blow in the finals last season.
And what kind of attitude will Li Ke face An Zhu?
The plane landed at Luocheng Airport, and a large number of reporters surrounded him and raised many questions related to Anzhu.
Li Ke did not avoid the interview. After the end of the passage, he turned around and answered uniformly: "It has been a long time since I have passed. I have not answered any questions related to the beating, but now, I think I need to explain why I punched..."
"Gerard is a good player, he plays hard and never has any dirty moves, but in that game, I clearly saw Andrew Bynum's elbow piercing Gerald's chest. It was an action that shouldn't be on the basketball court, so I chose to solve the problem off the basketball court."
"If I were Andrew Bynum, I would never have played in the game against the Bobcats, because the court was full of surprises, and no one knew when the accident would come..."
With Christmas Eve still one day left, Li Ke came with such a meaningful warning.
Then it was time for public opinion to ferment. Li Ke, the initiator, paid close attention to public opinion.
The first call was Lao Qiao.
"What did you say before the game?"
"What do you think?"
"Don't do anything randomly. Stuh Jackson just called me and said that the league is paying close attention. In a while, the league will also issue an announcement to warn you about your remarks."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything random."
Li Ke really didn't have the intention to do anything randomly, he was just waiting.
He didn't wait for any statement from the Lakers, and no one seemed willing to stand up and speak for An Zhu, including Kobe.
By this point, 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 Williams with him and chatting for a few words, Li Ke knew that there were too few teams like the Bobcats locker room.
"Old Fish is the leader of the locker room, but the only one who has a good relationship with him in private is Odom."
"Bryant and Gasol have a good relationship, Jordan Famal, Sashavu Jasic and Luke Walton have a good relationship, and almost all other people are individuals."
In the description of the Great Sage, the Lakers' locker room is a mess, with no small group, but don't expect this group of people to be united.
Look at the pistons again:
"Ben's position is transcendent in the piston, except that, everyone is the same."
"If you want to distinguish, I have a better relationship with Will Bynum, Ben Gordon, Austin Dayer, Greg Monroe, and Rodney Staggie, Charlie Villanueva, and Jason Mark Hill."
The Pistons have a small group, roughly the old players are huddling together, and the new players are forced to sign up for the group.
In fact, Li Ke is not optimistic about Serena Williams' future in the Pistons, because Choudumas's draft failed a bit.
This year's No. 7 pick Monroe, missed George, Gordon Hayward and others.
Rebuilding has been done, and the Pistons can now be considered a future player, or is it Serena Williams the only one.
However, Serena Williams is in the east and there are few opportunities to meet Beverly.
That healthy Serena Williams who can fly and escape may have a completely different career.
...
When I left Long Beach, it was already Christmas Day.
Li Ke waved goodbye to the Great Sage in the city center of Luo City, then met with his teammates, rested in the hotel for a while, and then got a news from the Lakers.
"Due to physical discomfort, Andrew Bynum will miss tonight's Christmas battle."
Li Ke smiled, and finally, he waited for the news.
An Zhu's absence was as expected. Who made Li Ke beat An Zhu to the season finals?
This beating made An Zhu scared and timid.
After laughing for a while, Li Ke still felt a pity.
Chapter completed!
