Min Congda finally got to be.
No matter how big the storm is, it can't wipe out the endless wilderness in his heart. No matter how barren the land is, one day it will bloom with sunny flowers.
He did not agree to Anschutz's proposal to acquire Red Head Boots, but said he could invest in it and become the second shareholder of the Red Head Boots restaurant.
Anschutz agreed without saying much. It could be seen that saying that he wanted to buy the red-headed boots was just his simple negotiation skills, and buying a share was enough for him.
Just because he likes the pizza and steak at Red Head Boots doesn't mean he has to buy the entire restaurant.
Just like he can like a woman very much, it doesn't mean he must marry her. It would be nice to give her a sum of money.
Min Congda's thoughts are more complicated. After all, he is a man who is good at finding hope in despair.
He can completely reject Anschutz's acquisition or his shareholding, because it is reasonable and the system will not object.
But he still agreed, considering two points:
First of all, for some reason, there was something wrong with the food at the Red Head Boots restaurant I had before. Their pizza and steak were very delicious.
So no matter what, this restaurant will definitely make money, and the $500,000 loan will probably not turn into a liability, and it will probably be profitable in the future.
If you let Anschutz acquire it, you will have more cash in your account; if you don't let Anschutz acquire it, the project will still make money.
Therefore, Min Congda decided to do a favor and establish a relationship with Anschutz.
The reason why he wanted to establish a relationship with Anschutz was because of the second point:
He wants to realize the big plan in his mind that is enough to completely bankrupt the Clippers - to build a new independent arena for the Clippers.
With the Clippers' current financial resources, they cannot support the construction of their own arena.
Even if you want to achieve bankruptcy through large-scale infrastructure construction, you are not qualified.
Anschutz is the owner of Staples Center. He has both financial resources and experience in large-scale arena construction projects.
Min Congda's friendship with such a person is of great significance to the completion of his "Los Angeles Clippers Afang Palace".
Following the "Three Treasures Plan", Min Congda decided to start the "Afanggong Plan" to build a new arena for the Clippers.
If this plan can be completed, the top pick, excellent regular season records, high-quality documentaries, etc. will not be worth mentioning.
The experience and lessons of history tell Min Congda that there are countless enterprises and companies that have hastily launched infrastructure projects in Malaya after their brilliant development.
As a result, the project was not completed yet, encountered financial difficulties, the project was unfinished, the capital chain was broken, and the company went bankrupt.
At this time, the bank will change from the money-delivering boy licking his face to the driver who appears with his tongue sticking out.
How many large companies that were once brilliant have died due to over-indebted infrastructure construction, leaving behind unfinished buildings in the end.
Let’s not talk about the country, let’s talk about the United States. Building a new arena is very expensive and the possibility of bringing down the team is very high.
For example, the Nets' new Barclays Center, which started construction in 2009, cost US$904 million, which is three times the Nets' market value.
It is simply not enough for the Nets to invest funds alone. Instead, they unite multiple parties and use the convenience of the New York Financial Center to raise funds through banks.
However, the project was temporarily put on hold during the financial crisis last year, and we don’t know when it will be restarted.
The Nets have spent a lot of money on it, and now their financial situation is dire, their team construction is in shambles, their attendance is impressive, and they are on the verge of bankruptcy and selling the team. (It was acquired by a Russian billionaire three months later.)
And the former Seattle SuperSonics, why did they move from Seattle?
One of the reasons is that the original Field Key Arena is too old, and the municipal government and the team cannot come up with the money to build a new arena.
In the end, they stopped playing here and moved directly to Oklahoma. It was useless no matter how loud the citizens opposed it.
Because you have no money. Building an arena costs so much that even the city of Seattle can't afford it.
In Los Angeles, even the Lakers, who have achieved such results, do not have their own arena, but rent an arena to play.
It was previously at the Great Western Forum and later moved to the new Staples Center.
I would rather pay millions of dollars in rent a year for decades than spend a lump sum to build an arena.
The most successful team in the NBA is like this, let alone the Clippers?
Those teams that have independent arenas do not do so successfully, but because there are super bosses behind them.
These owners have many assets and amazing wealth, and the basketball team is just a small part of their many industries.
What happened to building an arena for your own team? Just a lot of money.
Or, this arena is originally the owner's property, and it happens to be empty and no one is using it. Buy a team and use it.
The Clippers are different, as you can tell from Sterling's stinginess, they are not as good as the Lakers.
If Min Congda succeeds in getting the Clippers to reluctantly launch the new arena construction project, the Clippers will enter a countdown to bankruptcy.
A small horse and a large cart are too much to handle.
Establishing a relationship with the big boss Anschutz through the Red Head Boots Restaurant was the first step for Min Congda to launch the Polo Stadium construction project.
This will be the second-ranked killer plan in his bankruptcy plan, although this plan has just been thought up.
Min Congda was instantly impressed by his quick wit. Faced with the recent sudden storms, projects failed one after another.
Not only was he not discouraged, he also discovered new opportunities for bankruptcy and continued to complete his plan without giving up.
Min Congda himself was moved by this spirit of Jingwei filling up the sea.
After reaching an agreement, Min Congda clinked glasses with Anschutz. In the near future, the project he and Anschutz's boss will collaborate on will not only be a restaurant, but a restaurant even more luxurious than the Staples Center and able to accommodate 20,000 spectators. Multi-purpose super stadium.
His Los Angeles Afang Palace.
"Of course, this arena will hollow out the Clippers and make the Clippers completely bankrupt!"
After a series of storms, several projects that Min Congda had invested in to accelerate the team's bankruptcy all failed.
However, on the scorched earth, the diligent and intelligent Min Congda soon discovered the seeds of hope and sown them.
His mood immediately improved. Looking down from the VIP room, the second half of the game between the Clippers and Jazz had already begun.
The Clippers, who led in the first half, still maintained their suppression of the Jazz in the third quarter, maintaining a lead of about 5 points.
But when the game entered the fourth quarter, the Clippers' offense suddenly stalled.
Stephen Curry missed consecutive three-pointers from the outside, but on the Jazz's side, Carlos Boozer made consecutive layups under the basket.
His pick-and-roll cooperation with Deron Williams is really superb. After catching the ball and making a layup with his left hand, both Randolph and Gasol are difficult to guard.
In the fourth quarter, the Jazz gradually caught up with the score, and Curry's shortcomings of unstable three-pointers and insufficient defensive confrontation were exposed.
Facing the combination of power forward + point guard, the Clippers' natural disadvantage in the lineup is undoubtedly exposed.
In the fourth quarter, they were beaten by the Jazz with a score difference of 25:15.
They scored a total of 15 points in the fourth quarter.
In the end, the Jazz defeated the Clippers 105:98 with a 7-point advantage and took away a victory.
When Min Congda saw this result, he felt even happier, and the previous haze was gone.
Instantly full of confidence in the future.
This guy is really an indomitable person.
