Chapter 1202 Efficient Acquisition

(Please collect new books, please recommend them!)

In the next week, Yang Cheng and Luo played all the entertainment activities on the island, including fishing, diving, horse riding on the beach, surfing, skydiving. Of course, more often, Yang Cheng was responsible for playing, and Luo was responsible for being the audience, giving cheers and applause at the right time, and interpreting the role of the fan girl vividly.

The 2016 Lunar New Year passed like this. Yang Sen and Liu Yun flew back to New York on the "Yuanshan" in advance. They were different from Yang Cheng. After only one week of rest, their work piled up into mountains. If they didn't go back, the company was about to stop operating.

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

The reason why he did not return to New York is because Yang Cheng is preparing to complete a acquisition.

The conversation with Matt Sitz on the island made him decide to enter the American Sports League again after NBA and NFL, but this time his goal was MLS, that is, the American Professional Football League.

And the target he likes is a new Los Angeles FC.

Although this name is new, it does not mean that it has no historical background. The predecessor of Los Angeles FC was the American team that has lived in Los Angeles for a long time. In 2014, it was taken over by the MLS League due to its former boss withdrawal, and it was not until the dawn of a comeback last year.

A group of celebrities in the cultural and sports industry in Los Angeles joined forces with international big investors to acquire shares in Los Angeles FC and ambitiously challenged MLS. The team has not yet obtained the right to participate, but the movement is not small at all. The city's archenemy Los Angeles Galaxy will issue player transfer declarations at any time, and Los Angeles FC will officially announce a new boss to join.

If you continue to follow this progress, you may have more shareholders in the end than the number of registered players.

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

As early as when he was tempted to acquire a major league team, Yang Cheng immediately ordered Ryze to choose the acquisition target for him.

The ones that can be attracted to Yang Cheng must be big city teams like New York or Los Angeles, and the most so, Chicago or Houston, so the scope has been reduced a lot.

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

Another New York City football team is even bigger, behind it is Manchester City's boss Mansour, who is also acquainted with Yang Cheng. On the one hand, it is not easy for Yang Cheng to grab things from his friends. Besides, Manchester City is also buying it for the purpose of building it into a satellite team. Another major shareholder of New York City is the New York Yankees. There is no need to mention its status in New York.

In short, both teams in New York are the ones who can’t even get money and can give up.

The owner of Los Angeles Galaxy is Philip Anschutz. His wealth is no less than Yang Cheng. He has a deep family background and is one of the founders of MLS. In recent years, Los Angeles Galaxy has made many big moves, which are the result of Philip Anschutz's strong support. Just reaching this scale of investment, the opponent has no possibility of selling the team.

After counting, only the newly established Los Angeles FC is easy to bully. First, the shareholders behind it are complicated, and when there are too many people, they will not be unified. Don’t look at the good words when forming an alliance, you should achieve your career together, but when it comes to your own interests, your career is bullshit.

Just based on the brains of those cultural and sports stars, investing in teams is either for the sake of becoming famous or making money, but it is probably the latter. Since that is the case, what else can Yang Cheng hesitate about?

Even Ryze doesn't have to come forward for this small matter. He just sends his team to come to discuss it one by one. Moreover, Yang Cheng has offered a budget of up to 20%. If he still can't get some shares, they can get out of here together.

This was not the case in just one week when Yang Cheng was on vacation, the acquisition team efficiently acquired 31.7% of the shares at a lightning speed, costing only more than 50 million US dollars. The Los Angeles FC, which was not played in a game, is now valued by Yang Cheng to $150 million. This is because of the launch of the new stadium plan, otherwise it would be worth even 100 million.

But then again, for those cultural and sports stars, in just one year, they not only recovered their investment capital, but also made more than 10% of their returns. This is definitely an investment case that can be praised for the first half of the year.

In fact, this is true. In all parties in Beverly these days, the hottest topic is that there is a big tycoon who crazyly takes over the Los Angeles FC shares in the hands of big stars, which makes these stars make a fortune, and also makes the entire mls shout that the wolf is coming.

The confidentiality measures were done well at the beginning. In order not to be raised, the acquisition team was divided into n groups and almost found several shareholders to negotiate. The rough bidding style moved the stars in a few strokes and sold their shares without saying a word. As the news came out, smart people summed up, and those celebrities who thought they had taken a big advantage were shocked to find that this was a big boss who stood up to grab the cake. If they followed the big boss, wouldn’t they be able to drink more soup?

The small shareholders who sold the shares sighed, but it was useless.

However, Yang Cheng's good luck has ended here, because those simple stocks that are easier to obtain have almost been acquired, and the remaining shares are concentrated in the hands of major shareholders. All of these people are business elites, so it will be difficult to take advantage of them.

I met Yanklovsky, the head of the Los Angeles FC acquisition project in Jason Manor, a Belgian American of Slavic descent who has lived in the United States for more than 20 years. His thinking and language are completely integrated into the American style, and there are no obstacles to communication.

"Boss, team members are still trying to reach shareholders with relatively few holdings, but their efficiency has dropped significantly, and most shareholders are waiting to sell."

As soon as Yang Cheng entered the door, he saw Yanklovsky. Before he even had time to change his clothes, Luo came downstairs to change his clothes, helped take off Yang Cheng's coat, and asked White to give him a cup of hot tea, which was quite like a hostess in the manor.

After Luo said hello to Yanklovsky, Yang Cheng immediately asked, "I give up contact with small shareholders for the time being and attack the major shareholders with all my strength. Who holds more than 20% of the shares now?"

Yanklovsky imprinted all the materials in his mind and replied without hesitation, "Malaysian rich man Chen Zhiyuan, he is also the boss of the Premier League Cardiff City."

Yang Cheng thought for a while, picked up his phone and called Ian Ayer of Liverpool. "Ian, it's me. You contact Cardiff City on behalf of Liverpool and bought 20% of the shares of Los Angeles Fc from them. In return, we can sell several players to them, and you and Mr. Lof will decide the list."
