Main Text Chapter 1200, Many Things Happened at the Last Moment

After completing the acquisition of Valve software company, Zhou Jiexi did not change the original company structure, but only integrated and allocated some personnel to this company.

In terms of business operations, he trusts his Sky Game team even more. Andy, the CEO who is mainly in sales, has always satisfied him. A vice president was allocated from there and arranged to cooperate with Newell at Villefort Software Company.

In addition, the company signed a contract with Harvey's law firm. In the future, legal issues will also be handled by them. The firm sent a senior partner to work as a consultant in Valve Software Company. Zhou Jiexi also invited a Chinese who has a personal relationship with him. Lawyer, became the company's legal counsel, and concurrently served as the legal department.

Valve Software Company has many lawsuits that can make a big fuss. On the first day of the acquisition, Zhou Jiexi integrated the legal department and contacted Harvey Law Firm to fight those shit lawsuits that the original company had fought.

Newell's awareness of rights protection is not enough. He suffered a loss from the publisher and only got back such a little benefit. Zhou Jiexi is not that kind of person. The order was placed in Harvey's law firm, where a team of three senior partners and eight middle-level partners was formed to defend the company's rights.

Then he also took over the financial department, law and finance, these two are the most important things for Zhou Jiexi. After completing the smooth transition of the company, he was finally able to feel at ease.

Then fly to Los Angeles and win the Dodgers, which is already in sight.

The price of the Dodgers team was not low. Zhou Jiexi's team offered a price of 1.5 billion US dollars, but Frank was never satisfied with this price. According to others, he would never sell the Dodgers without 2.5 billion US dollars.

Moreover, the future TV contract of the Dodgers will be worth at least three billion U.S. dollars, which is a good way to negotiate the price for him and protect him.

Zhou Jiexi didn't want to get three billion US dollars back in the next ten years, and no more than 10% of the money would go into his pocket.

Most of it will be spent as team expenses, player salaries, introduction of stars, stadium renovation and other expenses.

In other words, he spent billions of dollars to go out, and in the next ten years, billions of dollars will be just this one Dodgers. The money that can really reach your own hands one after another, may only be two to three hundred million US dollars, and it will still take more than ten years.

In addition, if he takes money, he may even call the media and fans stingy.

So the money invested may not come out. The only effect is that as the team's performance increases and the world economy expands, the Dodgers will become more and more valuable, and his net worth will also increase in statistics.

In addition, if you want to spend money, you can only mortgage Dodge to the bank, so that you can get a loan of more than two billion US dollars. It just needs to pay high interest every year, even if it is discounted, it will cost tens of millions of dollars.

The team in charge of the negotiations for the Dodgers, after Frank McCourt intentionally started the negotiation, finally got rid of the unintentional bidding mode. Everyone is now struggling with the $1.9 billion and $2 billion.

Jessie Zhou, who had rushed back from Seattle, was sitting in the temporary office in Los Angeles, a large conference area set up by his TV station.

There were three identical documents piled up on the desktop, all of which Zhou Jiexi had read. These include the Dodge asset survey report and various brand copyrights of Dodge.

In addition, a transitional committee has also been established on the conference table, which will have its own advisory board members in charge.

Zhou Jiexi's first sentence when he came in was this: "1.95 billion US dollars, come down here, and I'll give you the cash."

Immediately, the exhausted members of the negotiating team in the office were shaken. This team, which has been established for more than three months, has never had an easy day since the beginning. It has always needed to investigate various aspects of Dodge and provide enough information for Zhou Jiexi .

Recently, he has been fighting with Frank's team for nearly a month, and is also responsible for contacting the league officials for information.

Zhou Jiexi went to several team owners to get in touch with each other, and even talked with the general manager of the American Major League Baseball League. These people finally have no problem with his entry, and there is no need to worry about the league vetoing this deal.

In addition, on the issue of the team's broadcast contract, Zhou Jiexi will also make a compromise, which makes everyone look better. However, he himself has also benefited. In the future, he has decided to sign the local broadcast rights to his own TV station. This decision will add tens of millions of subscribers to the TV station in the future.

So buying the Dodgers isn't just about buying a Dodgers team, it's about buying a regional sports TV station with over 10 million subscribers. It also comes with the 130-year-old Los Angeles Dodgers worth billions of dollars.

The New York Mets, along with the Boston Red Sox, have established their own regional cable networks. Broadcasting the local games of one's own team, more than 150 local games throughout the year, will bring a stable audience and stable income to the TV station.

For now, according to the report of the research and analysis organization, their TV station is very profitable. It is much better to put the money into the pockets of the team shareholders than to directly take the team's profits.

look! We are not people who suck the blood of the club. We have never taken any money, so let's invest it all! Fans should trust such club shareholders!

Not only the team makes money, but the TV station also makes money. In this situation, as long as you know how to operate, you can make money. For American sports clubs, national broadcast contracts are sold by the league. As for the broadcasting contracts in other parts of the world, the purchased TV station sells them themselves, and finally shares with the alliance.

However, the regional broadcast contract is sold by the team itself, and it can be done after the league approves it.

Why did Jessie Zhou have the confidence to set up a TV station?

For nothing else, he has four teams in the five major sports leagues in the United States, and all of them are in the California area.

After the NBA Golden State Warriors' regional broadcast contract expires, it will also be handed over to his own TV station, which will also bring tens of millions of subscribers.

The so-called regional competitions are competitions that are not broadcast live nationwide. This kind of competition will be broadcast by regional TV stations, or subscription-based TV stations.

This is another important item for the team to make a profit.

For the San Francisco Forty-Nineers, the local game broadcast will also be signed to their own team.

At that moment, the regional sports channel of the TV station in his hands can be imagined how popular it will be. This will also bring a lot of subscribers, as long as these users are managed well, other channels of the TV station in his hand will also reap huge dividends.

In addition, there are also the main Chinese channels, etc. Zhou Jiexi feels that as long as he does not risk his life, relying on the mutual links of these real estates in the future, he basically does not need to worry about anything in this life and the next. He needs money and influence. Influence.

The TV station even praises his boss to the extreme. Thinking about the TV station he works in the future, it will also be a cable TV station with more than 30 million subscribers, and he is really drunk.

Almost all the sports teams in the major leagues in the California area have been bought by their own owners, which also means that the California regional cable stations, no one can compete with them in this regard.

And the surrounding areas of California will also bring them many users, and maybe they will become like the Fox TV network in the future, becoming the Fox of the cable TV station.

Rapid rise, and stable confirmation of their status, they have the confidence, their boss is strong enough, this is such a big thick thigh!

With a population of more than 33 million in the California area, almost all mainstream regional sports broadcasts will be broadcast on his TV station. If there are not tens of millions of subscribers, there is really no need to open a TV station.

Zhou Jiexi is also very proud of his operations, although many of them are actually learned from another big American landowner, son-in-law of Wal-Mart, Stan Kroenke.

They also own many club teams, so in the area where the team is located, a TV station has also been set up, and the business they do is to broadcast their own team's games.

Profits have been substantial, even if the team does not take money, the TV station can still get money.

So he found that there is no simple American businessman. Looking at the seemingly unprofitable team investment, you can actually make money from many other channels.

The TV station is one, and it also includes the stadium and the land sales and leases around the stadium. In addition, he also got a considerable amount of attention and influence, and a ticket to the upper class that can be used to swipe his face.

If you have money, you have to be willful!

In the era when there was no such sentence, Zhou Jiexi properly expressed it. When buying a team, you have to buy four, and it spans the five major leagues in the United States.

Another item was also bought, the most popular football league in the world, the giants of the Premier League.

Playing games has created a mobile game company with a market share of more than 60% in the world. Then it also acquired Valve Software, a world-renowned game production company. It is also a wonderful flower to be as awesome as him.

Going to Los Angeles, Zhou Jiexi really didn't want to continue talking about it, it's all for this, the figures of 2 billion, 1.9 billion US dollars mean nothing, nothing can stop people on both sides from selling it, or The determination to buy it.

Now that Zhou Jiexi has decided on the price, even if the people below think that it might be lowered, it is not appropriate to speak at this time.

Already in the final sprint, the boss is making some compromises for time. The reason is that many competitors followed after birth. Now solve it earlier, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

The most indispensable thing in the world is the kind of people who don’t feel comfortable seeing other people. They just don’t want you, Jessie Zhou, to simply buy the Dodgers and come out and quote a price. Old guy Frank, Maybe it will be time-consuming again.

Even if that person didn't really want to buy it, but he just needed a reason, Zhou Jiexi didn't bother to continue to toss it. Anyway, in a few months, the market value of the Dodgers will increase.
