Rebirth

"Mr. Li, do you really plan to acquire IMG?" After 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 with a smile.

Looking at Li Feng who was smiling, Franklin Johnson couldn't help but feel excited. To be honest, although he is the CEO and president of the US Open, he is just an ordinary staff member.

The US Open is not his. Besides, the CEO of the US Open changes every few years. In terms of position in the sports world, he is really far behind Mark McCormack who founded IMG.

If Li Feng does acquire IMG, then Li Feng’s position in the sports arena will be strong, and Li Feng has a strong economic backing. At that time, it will be the best in entertainment media, fashion media or sports. The top figure.

Thinking of this, Franklin Johnson suddenly felt that he had been with Li Feng for a short time tonight. He might have been in awe of wealth before, but now he is in awe of Li Feng in all directions, and at the same time he feels happy.

Li Feng didn't lie to himself about such things. Perhaps in the future, he could get closer to Li Feng or even go further.

...

Hearing Li Feng’s rhetorical question, Franklin Johnson’s shorthand immediately replied: “From the perspective of CAA and IMG’s own development, they have indeed achieved the ultimate in their respective fields. It has been very difficult to make a big breakthrough. If the two companies cooperate, they will definitely be able to achieve the effect of 1+1 greater than 2. After all, as sports and entertainment media are getting closer and closer, both of them can get beneficial supplements from each other.

Not to mention other things, in simple terms, if there are more Hollywood superstars on the sidelines in the US Open in the future, there will be a lot of advantages just in terms of the promotion of the game."

Obviously, being able to serve as the president of the US Open is by no means a fool. Thinking of the respective status and environment of CAA and IMG, I understand the benefits of Li Feng’s proposal. Similarly, I think of this for the US Open and the rest of the game. Various benefits.

"Hehe, it is true. Although others such as fashion supermodels and sports stars are also big stars, but in terms of star status, at least for now, the status of Hollywood superstars is a little higher." Li Feng smiled. Its said.

After listening to Li Feng’s answer, Franklin Johnson couldn’t help thinking in his mind: “You just want to say that CAA is better than IMG. If you want to merge, then CAA will acquire IMG. I don’t know if Mark McCormack will be the old guy. Agree, this old guy is no ordinary person."

If Li Feng heard the old guy next to him, he might say to him, Frank, you really think too much.At this moment, people really think too much, and Li Feng is just asking the truth from facts.

...

Next, Franklin was dismissed, and Li Feng immediately wandered around the scene. In fact, Li Feng was mostly looking at the various decorations of the banquet hall. After all, the Waldorf Ballroom was the most important place for socializing in New York.

Looking at the magnificent and traditional banquet hall in front of him, Li Feng feels a bit back to the feeling of decades ago. Li Feng actually likes this feeling in his heart.

I ended a party that made me a little happy. Yes, Li Feng was still very satisfied with this party, especially when I met Mark McCormack, the current head of IMG, and got in touch with IMG. There were endless possibilities. Early the next morning, Li Feng returned to Los Angeles with excitement.

After returning from New York to Los Angeles, after a three-hour voyage, the morning departure from New York time at 9 o'clock in the morning to Los Angeles is still around 9 o'clock local time. I have to say that jet lag is really a magical thing.

On the day he returned to Los Angeles, Li Feng's phone calls began to get busy. Whether it was entertainment under Barry's jurisdiction, real estate, East West Bank, and Dahua Supermarket, etc., the leaders of each company called Li Feng back.

After a day’s rest, Li Feng awoke from the beauty of the South African diamond lying on his body like an octopus. He couldn’t help but feel the faint smile of the sleeping beauty in his arms. beautiful life.

Thinking of the conversation with Barry and others yesterday, she resisted the impulse, got up and went into the washing room. It was natural. As Li Feng got up, the goddess naturally woke up.After some comforting kisses, Charlize, who still felt a little soft, hid under the comfortable thin blanket again, and appeared in the Los Angeles headquarters office on time at about 9 o'clock.

...

Barry Diller arrived first shortly after Li Feng entered the office.

"Hey, Barry, what's the matter with you, looking at you seems very tired." When Li Feng saw Barry Diller, he immediately joked.

Yes, at this moment, Barry Diller does not have the usual shrewd and tough look, as if he can't lift the energy.

"Oh, BOSS, it's nothing, it's Diane's problem. She wants to reorganize her fashion brand now, and the family is a bit annoying lately."

Hearing Barry's casual words, Li Feng always felt that he had caught something, and then he couldn't help but ponder, but when he was thinking about seeing Barry Diller sitting on the sofa with authentic Longjing green tea, his heart moved.

"Barry, I seem to remember that your wife, Ms. Diane, founded the fashion brand DVF named after her, right?"

That's right, Li Feng now finally remembered who Barry's wife was. In his previous life, Li Feng had a woman in 15 years, and she was a loyal customer of DVF.

Li Feng once drove the woman from Hangzhou to Mingzhu City in order to go shopping at a DVF franchise store. It was at that time that Li Feng had a simple life understanding of the Bari couple.

...

Not to mention Barry, and later became a new generation of media tycoon, and his wife Dianevon Furstenberg (Diane von Furstenberg) founded a fashion brand under her own name, DVF for short.

Diane later became the chairman of the American Fashion Designers Association, known as the "New York Fashion Queen", and was named one of the 100 most influential women in the world by Forbes magazine, and the most influential women in the global fashion industry. The honor, it can be said that his wife's later achievements are no less than Barry Diller.

Naturally, at this time in 1995 and 1996, Barry Diller and his wife were at their lowest point in the history of previous lives.

Barry will not say anything, and was forced to leave Hollywood, while Ms. Diane has been away from the fashion circle for a while. Recently, she is preparing to return to the fashion circle. It can be said that Li Feng's encounter with the Barry couple today is for Li Feng himself It is the best time.

After hearing Barry's words this time, it was obvious that his wife was preparing to reorganize DVF. Naturally, Li Feng didn't want to miss this opportunity, and this was the best opportunity to get involved in the fashion industry.

Naturally, Li Feng also knows that the Barry and his wife are not stupid, and now there is no shortage of funds to restructure DVF. Both of them have enough strength to complete Diane's return to the fashion industry. Li Feng is thinking about what can attract Diane Of this superwoman.

...

"Barry, to be honest, I'm also very interested in the fashion industry, otherwise I wouldn't have established a media group. What do you think of our investment in your wife's DVF brand?" After thinking about this, Li Feng couldn't help thinking about it. Give Barry a try, then said with a smile.

"BOSS, you may not know that Diane's brand is actually not a big brand, and it is now ready to be reorganized. From the perspective of corporate investment value, we seem to have little investment value." Barry answered honestly. Li Feng's words, although he was a little surprised at his boss's mind.

Hearing what Barry said, Li Feng felt happy for a while, thinking that investment is the best investment when you have not made a fortune, and when you are developed, I will invest in it.

"I think it's pretty good. Ms. Diane can be regarded as a famous senior in the fashion circle. She has a network and her own brand. And we have the funds. If we can acquire an influential top fashion brand and add DVF itself... ...."

After hearing Li Feng's words, Barry couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Look at Barry. Your wife's brand includes clothes, bags, makeup brands and other products. If you can become a top fashion brand, we can fully realize our vision of entering the fashion circle. I think you can follow Your wife has a good chat."

"Okay, BOSS, I will go back and talk to Diane. As for the result, I can't say anything. Let Diane decide."

"OK, so be it."

...

After this incident that surprised Li Feng, Li Feng talked with Barry about his media group.
