I'm the owner of the Lakers
Chapter 334
By the next day, Xiao Yang and West went to the Dodger Stadium to watch the game, and in the VIP box of the stadium, West smiled and introduced Xiao Yang to the head of the Dodgers, Peter O'Malley.
"Peter, this is Shaw, the owner of the Lakers, I believe you know it too." West looked at the middle-aged man in his forties in front of him and said.
"Haha, long heard of the daimyo, but I often see Mr. Xiao on TV." O'Malley stretched out his hand with a smile.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Mr. O'Malley to know me, I am deeply honored." Xiao Yang held O'Malley's hand with a smile.
"Hey, let's not be so polite, I'll just call you Xiao, and you will also call me Peter directly, otherwise I'm not comfortable, haha." O'Malley looked very bold, making people not wary.
"Since Peter has said so, I will be respectful and obey, hehe." Xiao Yang also didn't like Mr. coming and going.
"Sit down, don't stand." O'Malley had already begun to beckon everyone to take their seats.
"Something to drink, or some champagne, and then we can enjoy a drink while watching the game, it's still a great feeling." O'Malley smiled, not at all like a boss who wanted to sell the team.
Uninformed people saw him like this and thought he was a fan owner who liked to watch baseball.
"Then you're welcome, haha, take out the best wine you treasure, I've been hungry for those wines in your father's office for a long time." West said with a smile, hearing that he came here often and was very familiar with the O'Malley family.
"Jerry said so, then drink some good wine from the wine cabinet in my father's office, haha, it just so happens that a distinguished guest came to the door today." O'Malley was also crisp, waving at his assistant and signaling him to get the wine.
"Shaw, do you smoke, I have one of Cuba's top cigars here?" O'Malley took out a box and looked at Xiao Yang and said.
"I don't have to, I don't like to smoke." Xiao Yang smiled and waved his hand.
West is also a non-smoker, and O'Malley did not force it, took out one himself, took out a cigar knife and cut a cigar, took out a blowtorch and baked it, put it under his son and sniffed it carefully.
"Xiao, you should try it, such a good smoke, smell and enjoy it." O'Malley looked at Xiao Yang with a look of intoxication and said.
"Haha, I prefer to sit on the sidelines and watch the game than smoke a cigar." Xiao Yang smiled and said thoughtfully.
"Also, Shaw is a Lakers, I heard that he spent $2 billion to buy the team, and he is a person who really likes basketball." O'Malley also smiled and nodded.
"$2 billion, the Lakers' valuation the year before last seems to be only more than 300 million, when the Dodgers can meet a owner who likes baseball like Shaw." O'Malley sighed and shook his head, as if envious that the Lakers could meet a good boss.
"Hehe, no way, Dr. Buss refuses to sell ah, saying that the Lakers are the love of his life, what a life's work, I really want to take the valuation to give him an offer, and I will definitely be kicked out of the gate." Xiao Yang shrugged, and his helpless look made West and O'Malley laugh.
Unknowingly, the two have already played the first round of confrontation, and O'Malley means that you buy the Lakers at a premium, and if you want to buy the Dodgers, you must also have to pay a premium.
Xiao Yang's meaning is also very simple, directly tell the other party that he was at a premium because the old Bass did not want to sell the Lakers at all, if it were not for his own premium so much, the old Bass would not even see his face.
Unlike the Dodgers, you yourself are ready to sell, one is a seller's market, the other is a buyer's market, naturally it cannot be compared.
"Yes, when Dr. Buss told me that he sold the Lakers to a young boy, I still can't believe it, the Lakers are not Dr. Buss's lifeblood, he has no other industry, why did he suddenly sell the team, until Dr. Buss told me that he sold $2 billion, I suddenly realized, at this price, no wonder Dr. Buss will sell."
West immediately came with an assist, directly affirming Xiao Yang's statement, directly telling O'Malley that the elder Buss was because he was an industry for the Lakers, unlike the O'Malley family, which specializes in real estate.
After the Lakers sold, the Buss family basically had to start a new business, so they could sell for a sky-high price of 2 billion, and the O'Malley family's business focus has always been on real estate, and the Dodgers do not pay attention to it at all, naturally not comparable to the Lakers.
"Haha, too, such a high price, let alone 2 billion US dollars, even if it is 1.5 billion, I am very excited." O'Malley lit his cigar, took a hard sip, and swallowed there.
"It's a pity, now that the US economy is depressed, there should be few rich people who can come up with so much money." Xiao Yang looked at the scene where the game had begun on the court, stood up and clapped his hands.
"Haha, I can't understand baseball, just have a lively picture, the atmosphere here is not bad." Xiao Yang looked at the athletes on the court with a smile.
The meaning is also very clear, now the economic environment in the United States is not good, even if there are people who want to buy the Dodgers, it is estimated that they will not be able to take so much money, and they want to buy the Dodgers, but they do not have to, after all, they don't even understand the rules of a baseball game, but unlike the Lakers, they are avid basketball fans.
