From February 6th to February 7th, New York City experienced a large-scale power outage.
Min Congda's flight in the morning was delayed until the evening, and he left the sad place of New York in the dark.
Here he lost a precious US$50,000, and learned news that shocked him: there was actually a company that wanted to sponsor the Clippers!
Last time Min Congda gritted his teeth and rejected Fox TV's copyright purchase plan, which makes sense.
However, a company wants to sponsor the Clippers and become a strategic partner with the Clippers. If Min Congda vetoes it, the system will probably not allow it.
But Min Congda didn’t want to give up like this, 30 million US dollars! Moreover, the copyright of the documentary is still there, and there will be a lot of profits in the future. Isn’t this fatal?
If I had known earlier, it would be better to sell the film in one package, so I wouldn't have to worry.
Returning to Los Angeles on the 7th, Min Congda held a Clippers senior meeting on the morning of the 8th.
At the meeting, all the Clippers executives were overjoyed. After all these years, the Clippers finally have a sponsor!
In the past, most sponsors would choose the Los Angeles Lakers without hesitation when choosing a team.
After all, the Lakers have many championships, are the greatest wealthy team in history, are full of superstars, and are full of advertising effects.
The Clippers have always been a foil to the Lakers. Who would advertise on the Clippers?
At the beginning of this season, the league relaxed advertising restrictions on team training jerseys, and sponsors can label their company logos on players' training uniforms.
The league hopes to increase the team's income through this kind of commercial cooperation to help the team survive the financial difficulties in the past two years.
Amway signed a cooperation agreement with the Orlando Magic, which reached the finals last season, and became the Magic's training camp co-organizer and training jersey sponsor.
"Mr. Smart, yesterday's "Basketball and Gay" series and "Special Guest" had a huge amount of views on YouTube. I think this was an important driving force for YouTube to reach our strategic cooperation decision, Rob Richley His work deserves the greatest credit."
Rosser was the first to speak, and he gave the credit to Rob Richley.
Racheli hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I only made this decision after implementing Mr. Smart's thoughts and will. Without Mr. Smart's reminder, I would still be doing repeated community propaganda. , how can you have such a good idea?"
Olshey added: "The documentary "Basketball and Gay" still has great potential to be tapped. It will record the growth experience of our Clippers starting from this year. In the future, his value will become greater and greater!"
"Yes, the benefits brought by the US$10 million investment are definitely worth it. The cooperation with the oil pipeline will make the Clippers more and more influential."
"Now is the era of online media. Online live broadcast will occupy a large share in the future. This is definitely a good move."
"The next step of YouTube's strategy is to sign a cooperation agreement with the entire NBA. We are a springboard for them to cooperate with the NBA. We must make good use of this opportunity..."
Stop reading, stop reading... Min Congda listened to these executives talking about good news.
The sadness was comparable to that of Sun Wukong listening to Tang Monk reciting the Tightening Curse. He just begged the master to stop reciting it. If he recited it again, his head would explode.
Racheli noticed that Min Congda didn't look well and asked quickly: "Mr. Smart, did you not sleep well yesterday? I heard there was a blackout in New York."
You, this damn fat guy, still care about me. If you hadn't brought in some special guests, I would have lost $50,000!
Now it’s all right, give me 30 million in one click, 30 million, 30 million, I can’t spend it all in a lifetime.
No, who says there’s no way to spend it all? It’s just 30 million. Let the oil pipeline go to China... Hey, no, no!
Min Congda suddenly thought of a very fatal problem, which may cause this sponsorship contract to fail.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, please stop reading...Speak again, listen to what I have to say."
As soon as Min Congda opened his mouth, everyone fell silent.
"It is of course a good thing for YouTube to have strategic cooperation with us, but one thing we need to make sure is that since it is a strategic cooperation, both parties must be consistent in their strategic goals. Have you confirmed this?"
Faced with Min Congda's question, the Clippers executives looked at each other.
Strategic objectives? What strategic goals does our Clippers have? Isn’t it just about making more money?
Is it the championship? This thing is something that can only be met by chance, who dares to think too much about it.
They can play some games well in the regular season and develop one or two popular superstars to sell more tickets.
It’s amazing. There is only one championship, and it’s not that easy to win.
Racheli said at this time: "I still remember Mr. Smart saying that we need to take a long-term view, see those further places, aim overseas, and have a global perspective."
Min Congda slammed the table, startling everyone, and said, "That's right! What Racheli said is very good. You must have a global perspective and look at the whole world."
Rosser asked: "Then it's a good thing that we cooperate with YouTube. Oil Pipe's business spans the world, and the Internet connects the whole world."
Min Congda smiled slightly and said: "But this time, I plan to bring the project to my hometown, China. Do you remember when I told you on the phone yesterday that I would start a new project? I plan to set up a basketball talent development fund in China. Long-term training and exploration of Chinese youth basketball talents. If YouTube wants to reach a strategic partnership with us, they must contribute money to help the team set up a fund in China, but YouTube’s business in China may no longer be able to continue.”
Min Congda clearly remembers that in 2009, due to some reasons, oil pipelines completely withdrew from the Chinese market.
If the Clippers want to carry out projects in China, the money spent on oil pipelines will be wasted because this market has been closed to them and there will be no profit.
The Clippers executives looked confused, and Rosser said softly: "Mr. Smart, why can't the oil pipeline business in China continue?"
Min Congda asked curiously: "Huh? Isn't it true? Didn't Oil Pipe withdraw from China last year?"
Rosser shook his head and said: "No, the oil pipeline business in China has always been very good and is developing rapidly."
Richele added: "Furthermore, as China successfully hosted the Olympic Games in 2008, the oil pipeline business in China is improving rapidly, and there is no problem of exiting. If we want to open projects in China, I think oil pipelines will Would be happy to cooperate and help.”
What! The oil pipeline has not withdrawn from China! How is this going?
Could it be that some changes have occurred in the world timeline after time travel?
It's possible that I don't even have a home here, so it's normal for some things to not happen.
It's over, the only reason for refusing to cooperate is gone.
What should I do, just compromise like this?
30 million US dollars! What kind of documentary do you want to make?
Something happened, something really big happened, how could the Clippers go bankrupt?
