Chapter 416

"BOSS, you seem to be very busy!"

Just as Li Feng was bored thinking about where to sit, after all, he walked around and his legs were sore when he always stood. Unexpectedly, Michael owitz came out of nowhere. At the same time, there were two people who were unexpected to Li Feng.

"Michael, I'm thinking about where you've been. How's it going? Is there a promising goal for today's show?" Li Feng joked with a smile.

"Boss, forget it. Where do I have any goals? I just want to find some supermodels for the company. By the way, boss, Mr. mark, you won't be strange." Michael owitz replied with a bitter smile and introduced himself to the two people around him.

"Mr. mark, I haven't seen you for a long time. It's a pleasure to see you again. Isn't this our Mr. tiger?"

Yes, it was Mark McCormack, the founder of img and Tiger Woods, the first golfer in the future, who Li Feng thought about before, who came with owitz.

IMG's boss didn't say it. Before, Li Feng had moved the idea of acquiring img, but it was rejected. After stabilizing CAA, he moved img's mind again. At that time, he was ready to merge CAA with img, and was rejected again by Mark McCormack, the founder and sports boss of img.

As for Tiger Woods, this guy is really a golf genius. Since he began to enter professional golf last summer, he quickly adapted to professional golf and went up all the way. He won the first tour championship of Meidi in October last year.

Li Feng knows that the next golf course has entered the Tiger Woods era, and the superstar's ability to make money is also amazing.

……

It can be said that in the years of the late 1990s and the early 20th century, Tiger Woods ranked among the top several in the annual player earning ability rankings, either Jordan, the God of basketball, Schumacher, and Tiger Woods.

Well, a basketball God, a car king and a golf king. From the perspective of business operation, Tiger Woods's business operation is the most successful. After all, golf is a little worse than basketball and F1 in terms of influence.

However, as a golfer, Tiger Woods has become the world's most profitable player for many times. He has to admire the business operation team behind him, that is, the business team of img.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I can't compare with you. Today, the name of the son of wealth is famous all over the United States and even the world. I want you to help Mr. Li more in the future." Mark McCormack was a little lost and general at this time.

"Boss, Mr. mark fainted a few days ago. It's a heart attack." Seeing Li Feng's doubts, owitz explained aside.

"Oh..."

After listening to Li Feng's simple "Oh", owitz explained again: "boss, it's an old problem. Mr. mark had a heart attack before. This time he came suddenly, and the doctor has given a critical notice. Finally, Mr. mark was lucky and survived.

However, the doctor suggested that we should stop busy work, that is, let Mr. mark retire early. "

At this time, Li Feng remembered that the memory of his previous life was that not long after, the big man in the sports industry hung up because of a heart attack. It seems that he had a sudden attack before hanging up.

Next, Li Feng was naturally a warm comfort. The big man on crutches put away his loss and said that there was no problem. Even if he went to see God, he had no regrets. He felt a little windy and clear.

However, Li Feng still felt that he was short of heroism from his words. Obviously, he was not very old. Unfortunately, he was not in good health. There must be some depression. Otherwise, he would not be so lost when talking to Li Feng at the beginning.

……

"Boss, you asked us to pay attention to img before. We also received news after Mr. Mark's accident. After that, we also visited Mr. mark. I also had a detailed discussion with Mr. mark. Finally, we reached a preliminary agreement to merge CAA and img. I came mainly for this matter."

"Really?" Li Feng asked Mark McCormack in surprise.

"Sure, I've considered the decision I made for a long time after the accident." Mark McCormack finally nodded and replied.

It turned out that Mark's fall due to heart disease caused confusion and panic in img. Mark's family had no successor at all, and the second generation was lack of ability. He originally wanted to be a manager. However, owitz came to negotiate in person this time, which caught up with a good time. Mark worried that if he had an accident, IMG, which had spent his whole life, might really be over.

For European and American entrepreneurs, sometimes the idea of continuing the enterprise is more important than the so-called family control. Therefore, after owitz came to the door again for a deep talk, mark finally promised to try to talk.

What Li Feng doesn't know is that after Mark's death in 2003, IMG was bought by Teddy forstman, a famous strategic investment tycoon on Wall Street, for $750 million in 2004.

Later, in 11 years, teddy forstman also died. Then in 13 years, IMG was purchased by William Morris endeavour, an old Hollywood brokerage company, and Silver Lake, a private equity fund company.

Therefore, Li Feng is naturally interested in merging img. At this time, the major brokerage companies have not developed across industries. Li Feng's brokerage company is the first crab to eat.

However, the fashion entertainment spanning from film and television is relatively simple. The span from media entertainment to sports is a little big. This is the first time. Therefore, both owitz and mark McCormack are very cautious.

……

The four of them walked to the corner of the banquet hall and began to chat. At this time, Li Feng also understood why Mark took Tiger Woods with him.

It turned out that Mark said he was very optimistic about woods and had the qualification to become the first person in golf. At the same time, he also had a detailed business planning and promotion scheme. However, if the merger is really carried out, mark hopes to continue the previously customized scheme.

Obviously, mark attaches great importance to Tiger Woods, and even trains woods as the signboard of img in the future. However, in the future, it also proves that Woods has lived up to the efforts of others, and has indeed become the future signboard of img and even one of the legends of the world sports industry.

After a long chat, an agreement was basically reached, that is, the two companies merged to establish a new caa-img (innovative elite culture international management company). In fact, CAA acquired img, but img was not all acquired in cash, but in the form of equity and cash.

As for the specific situation, it can't be decided by a few people with a hot mind. It needs a professional team to negotiate, etc., but as long as we have this intention, we can finally solve the biggest difficulty.

For this result, Li Feng is full of joy. Unexpectedly, his idea has really come true. An all-round brokerage company has begun to take shape. This is a giant brokerage company aircraft carrier that will appear in the next 10 years. Now it appears in advance with his own efforts.

……

Li Feng is very satisfied with Michael owitz's work. Indeed, he deserves to be an elite in the brokerage field all his life. If he jumps out of the brokerage field to manage any media group, owitz's ability is really a pity.
