"Mr. Li, do you really have a plan to acquire img?" Leaving the crowd, Franklin Johnson, the US Open CEO, immediately looked at Li Feng and asked.
"Frank, what do you think of this proposal?" Li Feng asked him back with a smile.
Looking at the smiling Li Feng, Franklin Johnson was also excited. To tell the truth, although he was the CEO and President of the US Open, he was just an ordinary staff member.
The US Open is not his. Besides, the CEO of the US Open has to change every few years. In terms of the status in the sports world, he is really far from Mark McCormack, who founded img.
If Li Feng really buys img, then Li Feng's position in the sports world will be strong, and Li Feng has strong economic strength as the backing. At that time, he will be the top figure in the entertainment media, fashion media and sports world.
Thinking of these, Franklin Johnson immediately felt that he was right to accompany Li Feng for a short time tonight. He might have been in awe of wealth before, but now he is in all-round awe of Li Feng. At the same time, he was also happy.
Li Feng didn't hide such things from himself. Maybe he can get closer to Li Feng or even further in the future.
……
Hearing Li Feng's counter question, Franklin Johnson's shorthand immediately replied: "in terms of the self-development of CAA and img, they have indeed achieved the extreme in their respective fields. It is very difficult to make a big breakthrough. If the two companies can really cooperate, they will be able to achieve the role of 1 + 1 greater than 2. After all, with the increasingly close contact between sports and entertainment media, Both sides can get useful supplements from each other.
Not to mention anything else, simply put, if more Hollywood stars can watch the game on the sidelines of the US Open in the future, there will be many advantages in the publicity of the game alone. "
Obviously, being the president of the US Open is by no means a fool. Thinking about the respective status and environment of CAA and img, I understand the benefits of Li Feng's proposal. Similarly, I think of all kinds of benefits for the US Open and other competitions.
"Ha ha, that's true. Although other superstars such as fashion supermodels and sports stars are also big stars, at least for now, those superstars in Hollywood have a higher status." Li Feng said to him with a smile.
After listening to Li Feng's answer, Franklin Johnson couldn't help thinking, "you just want to say that CAA is better than img. If you really want to merge, CAA will buy img. I don't know if Mark McCormack will agree. This old guy is not an ordinary person."
If Li Feng heard what the old guy next to him said, he would probably say to him, frank, you really think too much. At the moment, people really think more. Li Feng just tells the truth from facts.
……
Then he sent Franklin away, and Li Feng wandered around the scene. In fact, Li Feng was more looking at the various decorative scenery of the banquet hall. After all, the Waldorf banquet hall was the most important place for high-class social intercourse in New York.
Looking at the magnificent and traditional banquet hall in front of him, Li Feng felt that he was back decades ago. In fact, Li Feng liked this feeling from his heart.
He ended a party that made him a little happy. Yes, Li Feng was very satisfied with the party. In particular, he met mark McCormack, who is now in charge of img, and made contact with img, which made it infinitely possible. Early the next morning, Li Feng returned to Los Angeles directly with excitement.
After a 3-hour flight from New York to Los Angeles, I left at 9:00 New York time in the morning and arrived in Los Angeles at about 9:00 local time. I have to say that the time difference is really a magical thing.
On the day of returning to Los Angeles, Li Feng's phone began to get busy. Whether it was the entertainment under Barry's jurisdiction, real estate, Huamei bank and Dahua supermarket, the bosses of each company called Li Feng back.
After a day's rest, the next morning, Li Feng woke up from the beautiful scenery of the South African Diamond lying on his body like an octopus. Looking at the faint sweet smile of the sleeping beauty in his arms, he couldn't help feeling that it was a beautiful life.
Thinking of the call with Barry and others yesterday, he stood up and entered the washroom. Naturally, with Li Feng's getting up, the goddess naturally woke up. After a comforting kiss, Charlize, who still felt a little soft all over, hid under the comfortable thin blanket again and appeared in the office of Los Angeles headquarters on time around 9 o'clock.
……
Not long after Li Feng entered the office, Barry Diller took the lead.
"Hey, Barry, what's the matter with you? You look tired." When Li Feng saw Barry Diller, he immediately joked.
Yes, at this time, Barry Diller didn't have the usual shrewd and strong appearance, as if he couldn't work hard.
"Oh, boss, nothing. It's Diane's problem. Now she wants to reorganize her fashion brand. Her family is a little annoyed recently."
Hearing Barry's casual words, Li Feng always felt that he had caught something. Then he couldn't help thinking. He was thinking of seeing Barry Diller sitting on the sofa with genuine Longjing green tea.
"Barry, I seem to remember that your wife, Ms. Diane, founded the fashion brand DVF named after her, didn't I?"
Yes, Li Feng finally remembered who Barry's wife was. In his previous life, Li Feng had a woman in 15 years. She was a loyal customer of DVF.
Li Feng once drove the woman from Hangzhou to Mingzhu city in order to go shopping at the franchise store of DVF. At that time, Li Feng had a simple life understanding of Barry and his wife.
……
Barry stopped talking and later became a new generation of media tycoon, and his wife Diane von Furstenberg (Diane von Furstenberg) founded a fashion brand under her own name, DVF for short.
Diane later became the president of the American Fashion Designers Association, known as the "New York Fashion Queen", and was rated by Forbes magazine as one of the 100 most influential women in the world and the most influential woman in the global fashion industry. It can be said that her wife's later achievements were no less than Barry Diller.
Naturally, at this time in 95 and 96, Barry Diller and his wife were at the lowest point of their life in the history of their previous lives.
Barry stopped talking and was forced to leave Hollywood, while Ms. Diane has left the fashion circle for some time and is preparing to return to the fashion circle recently. It can be said that Li Feng's encounter with today's Barry couple is the best time for Li Feng himself.
After hearing Barry's words this time, it is obvious that his wife is ready to restructure DVF. Li Feng naturally doesn't want to miss such an opportunity, and this is the best opportunity to get involved in the fashion industry.
Naturally, Li Feng also knows that Barry and his wife are not stupid. Now there is no lack of funds to restructure DVF. Both of them have enough strength to complete Diane's return to the fashion world. Li Feng is thinking about what can attract Diane, a strong woman.
……
"Barry, to tell you the truth, I'm also very interested in the fashion industry, otherwise I wouldn't set up a media group. What do you think of our investment in your wife's DVF brand?" After thinking of these, Li Feng couldn't help but think of probing into his chin first, and then said with a smile.
"Boss, you may not know that Diane's brand is not a big brand, and now it is ready to be reorganized. From the perspective of enterprise investment value, we seem to have no investment value." Barry answered Li Feng's words honestly, although he was a little surprised at his boss's mind.
Hearing Barry's words, Li Feng was immediately happy. He thought that investment is the best investment when you haven't made a fortune. When you develop, I'll fart.
"I think it's good. Ms. Diane is also a famous predecessor in the fashion circle. She has contacts and her own brand, and we have funds. If we can buy an influential top fashion brand and add DVF itself..."
After listening to Li Feng's words, Barry couldn't help falling into deep thought.
"Barry, look, your wife's brand includes clothes, bags, makeup brands and other products. If you can become a top fashion brand, you can fully realize our vision of entering the fashion circle. I think you can have a good chat with your wife when you go back today."
"Well, boss, I'll go back and talk to Diane. I can't say the result. Let Diane decide."
"OK, that's it."
……
After this surprise to Li Feng, Li Feng discussed with Barry about his media group.
