The reason why Min Congda did this was because he understood what kind of lie was the most clever lie.
If every word in a sentence is false from beginning to end, others will be able to tell it is a lie at a glance.
The only function of such lies is to screen out fools, such as "I am Qin Shihuang making money", which is used for fraud.
Min Congda didn't want to defraud, he wanted to discredit the Clippers as much as possible and hedge against those comments that praised the Clippers.
Therefore, he needs some clever lies, and clever lies are always nine truths and one falsehood.
Among the nine very true pieces of information, if one piece of false information is secretly mixed in, the false information will appear to be very real.
This is why Min Congda posts a lot of real news about other teams, firstly to gain enough attention, and secondly to create that "nine truths".
Of course, the remaining "one day off" must be reserved for the Los Angeles Clippers.
In one afternoon, Min Congda hid in his office trying to arrange the Clippers.
He remembered that Ada had told him before that the Clippers once held a midfield shooting lottery event, and the prize was US$1,000.
As a result, the fans won the lottery, but Sterling defaulted on the money. This billionaire even refused to pay 1,000 yuan.
Later, I was sued by this fan, which was really embarrassing.
"Well, although this material is good, overall it's still a bit uninteresting and lacks some drama. I'll adapt it."
So, Min Congda began to write: The Clippers are undoubtedly the stingiest to the fans. They arranged a jackpot "worth a thousand dollars" in the midfield shooting lottery event. After a fan won the prize, he gave him the value $1,000 scratch-off. In the end, the fan won a prize of US$300.
"Haha, very good. This joke is well written. I will post it under this topic. If it is true and false, false and true, the Clippers' reputation value will be reduced by one again."
In order to deal a blow to the Clippers' reputation, Min Congda really tried his best.
In order to make that lie seem true, he had to make those nine truths particularly true.
In one afternoon, Min Congda mainly completed this task, and then it was time to go to Staples to watch the game.
Min Congda is looking forward to tonight's game. This is the first time they will play against the Cleveland Cavaliers this season.
The two most popular players in the league today are Kobe Bryant in the West and James in the East.
Last season, the main theme of the entire league's promotion was 23vs24, and people were extremely looking forward to the two most popular stars meeting in the finals.
Unfortunately, the Magic got in the way and defeated the 66-win Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals, ruining the league's strategic plan.
This season, the Lakers still have enough championship competitiveness, and the Cavaliers are vowing to make a comeback. James was the best in the Eastern Conference for two consecutive months in November and December.
Averaging 30 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists per game, he has been leading the MVP rankings. It is only a matter of time before he wins the MVP again.
Just look at the attendance of the Clippers tonight. Needless to say, it was full again.
The Staples Center has added more than 100 seats in a very "humane" way, fearing that fans will not be able to buy tickets, making the already crowded arena even more crowded.
Seeing this situation, Min Congda has long been numb. You accomplices, just come and give money to the stingy Clippers.
After the trade, although the Clippers' record declined, their attendance rate remained acceptable.
Curry's fans are increasing, and more and more fans are joining the ranks of wearing No. 30 Clippers jerseys.
Min Congda has decided that he will further increase the team's ticket prices next season.
Raise the average price to above $60 to curb rising attendance.
Of course, the strategy of adding more water and adding more noodles will definitely not work.
We must cooperate with the public opinion war to discredit the Clippers' image and make fans have a worse impression of the Clippers.
A bad impression, combined with high ticket prices. If Los Angeles fans still come to watch Clippers games, then they are screwed!
"There are so many tickets tonight, more than 19,000 seats, an average price of $55, and more than $1 million in box office revenue. When will this bankruptcy end?"
Looking at tonight's box office sales data, Min Congda let out a long sigh. It's not easy to do a bad job.
At this time, the mobile phone rang, and Ada called and asked: "Mr. Smart, where are you now and are you free?"
Min Congda said: "I have already arrived at Staples Center. I am going to have something to eat here and watch the game in the evening. What do you want?"
Ada said: "That's right, Mr. Richele has arranged a fan event. I would like to ask you if you want to come and participate?"
Min Congda hurriedly replied: "Let Richele and Olshey take charge of the fan activities. I have other things to deal with."
"Okay, got it, Mr. Smart."
Min Congda heard it was a fan event? Then I will definitely not participate. How can I go to such a good thing?
Let them figure it out on their own. If I go, I'll give the Clippers captain a bad face. Isn't it a good image for the team?
As for letting me build a bad image? That’s not okay, it’s okay to show it off, but my character cannot collapse.
Besides, the system won’t allow you to do something particularly outrageous.
Min Congda has now figured out the rules of the system, that is, you can smash it, but you can't lift the table and smash it.
To put it bluntly, it means being decent.
"I, Smart, am a decent person... Let's eat something first if I'm hungry. By the way, I haven't been to that high-end restaurant opened by Uncle Ada. I don't know if it tastes good or not. How is the business? Like this. If it’s too delicious, wouldn’t this business lose money? I’m going to investigate.”
Since Christopher's restaurant opened in Staples, Min Congda has never had time to visit it. He didn't care much about it and didn't think the restaurant could stand out.
Now that two weeks have passed, you can go and inspect it to see how the taste and business are.
So, Min Cong reached the dining floor on the top floor and looked at each store, thinking to himself: "Ada seems to have told me, what is the name of the store his uncle opened? Little Red Riding Hood? Little Red Head? Little Red Shoes?"
One by one they looked over, and it wasn't until there was a boot at the door of a certain store with red on the head that Min Congda remembered, "By the way, it's called red-headed boots! This is it."
Entering the store, Christopher, who was busy preparing for tonight's dinner, saw Min Congda and immediately greeted him warmly.
"Oh my God, here comes my distinguished guest, Mr. Smart! Hey March, here comes Mr. Smart!"
Christopher called "March", and a strong middle-aged man with a sinewy face and slicked-back hair came out from behind.
He squinted his eyes and glanced at Smart's face, which made Smart feel confused. Who was this person?
He stepped forward and looked at Min Congda and said, "Are you the general manager of the Clippers, Smart?"
Min Congda nodded and said: "Yes, I am Smart, who are you?"
The middle-aged man stretched out his strong hand and said: "I am Marcella Andolini, Christopher's brother and Ada's father."
