Lakers headquarters building, chairman's office.

Li Zhiwen met Lakers general manager Bill Sharman here.

"Hello, Mr. Shaman, please sit down, Chaoqiong, pour a cup of coffee for Mr. Shaman." Li Zhiwen said.

"Thank you, boss," said Bill Sharman.

"Bill, is there anything the team needs me to do?" Li Zhiwen said.

"Boss, thank you very much for your commitment to the Lakers players. I believe these guys will work hard to win the championship for you," said Bill Sharman.

"Bill, you said it wrong, not for me, but for us." Li Zhiwen corrected.

"My fault, boss, I think the guys are in good shape now, but I hope to see the boss on the sidelines in the playoffs to cheer for these guys," Bill Sharman said.

Li Zhiwen was silent for a while and said, "Bill, I really want to participate in every game of the team, but unfortunately, I have other careers and can't be with the team every game, but I will try my best to watch the team's games. If the team plays to the finals, I will appear on the sidelines in every game."

"Okay, I will tell these guys this news, and I guess these guys will work harder to reach the finals," said Bill Sharman.

"That's a good thing, Bill, since you have nothing to do, there are a few things I need to do here," Li Zhiwen said after taking a sip of coffee.

Bill Shaman looked tight and said, "Boss, please tell me."

"The first thing is that the Atlantic Forum Arena has been acquired by me, but I hope to change the name of the Arena to Reebok Arena. What do you think?" Li Zhiwen said.

"Boss, that's great, I think the name is good." Bill Sharman said with relief.

In Bill Sharman's opinion, this matter has nothing to do with the team. No matter what the stadium is, it will be the Lakers' stadium.

Who says Americans won’t compliment people? Bill Sharman did a good job.

"The second thing is that I need you to recruit the most beautiful cheerleader girls. I want everyone who comes to the Lakers to buy tickets to this trip. I want the Lakers game to become an entertainment event in Los Angeles and even the United States, just like the Oscars." Li Zhiwen said.

Bill Sharman breathed another sigh of relief. This incident was a good thing for the Lakers and could stimulate the Lakers' ticket sales.

Bill Sharman patted his chest and promised: "Boss, you did this right. I would like to thank you for all the fans who are watching the Lakers game."

Li Zhiwen waved his hand unconsciously and continued: "The third thing is that Hollywood belongs to Los Angeles, which has the best directors and producers in the world. I want to hire a first-line production team from Hollywood to produce the coolest promotional videos for the team. I wonder if you have any suitable director recommendations here."

Bill Sharman pondered for a long time and said, "Boss, Jack Nicholson is a fan of the team. Since 1970, Jack Nicholson has had the team's air tickets. As long as he has time, he will come to the stadium to watch the game. I think as long as he has time, he will definitely direct this promotional video."

Li Zhiwen was overjoyed when he heard Bill Sharman's words. The advantage of having the team has been highlighted. In foreign countries, sports are not simply sports. Sports can be regarded as a large exchange banquet, because no one knows what kind of people the team's fans will have. They may be Hollywood directors, mayors of the city, and even some American presidents are loyal fans of the team, just like the later generations who are loyal fans of the Bulls, and of course many are the general public.

The Lakers are located in the big city of Los Angeles, with backs to Hollywood, so many of the fans here are directors, actors and producers, which will be of great help to Kirin Film Company's entry into Hollywood in the future.

"Bill, please help me contact Jack Nicholson. Regardless of whether he has time or whether he is interested in directing the Lakers promotional video, he will leave him a place in the first row of the sidelines, free for life." Li Zhiwen said.

In Li Zhiwen's opinion, how much can a ticket for the first row of the sidelines be sold? As long as Jack Nicholson can help Kirin Film Company at the back, Li Zhiwen will make a lot of money.

Moreover, Li Zhiwen bought the Lakers not for investment. He was to fulfill his long-cherished wish in his previous life, and to communicate. If Li Zhiwen used the money from buying the team to speculate on oil futures for investment, wouldn’t it be nice?

And Bill Sharman was very happy when he heard Li Zhiwen's words and said, "Boss, with you, it would be very convenient for me to invite Jack Nicholson. I think Jack Nicholson, as a Lakers fan, will not refuse the invitation from the Lakers. Even if Jack Nicholson has no time, I will ask him to introduce me to another director to direct and film."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Bill!" Li Zhiwen said.

"Not hard work, boss, this is my job. Thank you for your contribution to the team." Bill Sharman said.

"In addition, Bill, I decided that the team's first row seats on the sidelines will not be sold to the public." Li Zhiwen said.

Hearing Li Zhiwen's words, Bill Sharman was a little anxious. The team's income in front of the goal has always been the team's income source, and the first row of the sidelines is the main force of tickets. If the seats in the first row of the sidelines are not allowed to be sold, the Lakers' income will be much less.

Bill Sharman said bluntly: "Boss, the tickets in the first row of the sidelines are the team's income source. If they are not sold, it will affect the team's income. Don't blame me if you can't achieve the goal.

Li Zhiwen pressed down and said, "Bill, don't be impatient. I know what you mean, but the ticket revenue is only a few dollars. I don't care. I want to leave these as big-name stars in Hollywood and invite them to watch the Lakers. This will bring unprecedented media attention and brand effect to the Lakers. You must know that many paparazzi will follow big-name stars to report. If big-name stars watch the Lakers' game, isn't it just right to promote the Lakers?"

Hearing Li Zhiwen's words, Bill Shaman finally understood Li Zhiwen's intention, so he said: "Boss, as you wish, the seats in the first row will not be sold to the public."

"Very good, Bill, what players the team needs to sign next season or what coaches they need to hire, you tell me." Li Zhiwen said.

"Boss, the main task of the team is to win the championship now. These issues are issues that need to be considered in the offseason, so let's talk about it later." Bill Sharman said.

"Okay, call me directly if you have any questions." Li Zhiwen said. Suddenly, Li Zhiwen thought that Jabbar was injured unexpectedly before the sixth game of the finals, resulting in absent from the sixth game, so he said to Bill Sharman: "Bill, you must always pay attention to the health of the team players to prevent injuries from happening to the players. In addition, the team's medical team should choose the best doctor."

Li Zhiwen knew the importance of a good medical team to the team. Later generations of the Trail Blazers Veterinary Team and the Suns Voice Team, which ruined three super centers.
