After coming out of the teahouse, Foster couldn't believe that the negotiation went so smoothly.
The price of 35 million was set, and Smart seemed very happy.
This guy really has too much money to burn, right? But come to think of it, the money isn't his money, it's the Clippers' money.
It can only be said that the Clippers have been well managed in the past few seasons and have indeed grown very quickly.
After agreeing on the price, Foster deliberately asked Min Congda if he could help solve those troubles.
This is of course a piece of cake for Min Congda, because he was the one who caused the trouble.
So, Min Congda immediately notified Christopher via text message so that those making trouble could calm down.
Of course, the money that should be given will not be less.
Then, Min Congda ordered Sloan to re-arrange security for the Great Western Forum Arena.
Let the daily operations of the arena get back on track so that the Clippers can take over later.
After making a verbal agreement, Min Congda had to solve the 35 million issue.
The loan limit granted by Wells Fargo and National City Bank is only 30 million, and the remaining 5 million needs to be reconsidered.
If you go to Rosser, this guy will definitely say that he has no money, because the Clippers' current cash flow is indeed tight and has reached its limit.
When income is high, expenses are also high.
If it is to be embezzled, it will definitely have to use the money from the Basketball Development Fund.
But the basketball development fund is what Min Congda wants to spread out, so there is no point in using it to buy an arena.
He must add a little more debt to the Clippers.
After thinking about the people around me, who can come up with these 5 million US dollars for the team to use?
Kanye West? Forget it, this guy has been busy getting new shoes recently. He invested a lot of money into it, and he is already in debt.
Go to the bank for credit again? Probably not. Wells Fargo and City Bank can give 30 million, which is pretty good.
If the price rises to 35 million, they may not be willing to lend the 30 million.
After all, buying an arena is not a business where you can make money back immediately.
After thinking for a while, Min Congda thought of a person. This guy was very rich.
Not to mention 5 million, he can get even 500 million.
That is Microsoft CEO and famous basketball fan Steve Ballmer!
There is a game between the Clippers and Thunder tonight. It is a wonderful matchup.
Ballmer will definitely come to watch the game, just talk to him about it then.
Min Congda also made a special call to Anschutz and asked Ballmer to watch the game together in the VIP box that night.
Anschutz guessed that Min Congda must have something to talk to Ballmer about, so he agreed.
The time soon came to around six o'clock in the evening, and there was another focus game at Staples Center.
Thunder vs. Clippers.
After a period of chaos at the beginning of the season, the current record between the strong and weak teams in the East and West is gradually diverging.
After the recent wave of winning streak, the Thunder successfully surpassed the Clippers and Lakers and rushed to the first place in the Western Conference.
The Lakers are second in the Western Conference and the Clippers are third in the Western Conference.
Followed closely by the Mavericks, Spurs, Jazz, and Trail Blazers.
These teams will be strong contenders for a playoff spot.
In the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers are already in a league of their own, losing only two games so far.
The arrival of Kyrie Irving and Sean Battier has greatly increased the Cavaliers' strength.
Coupled with James' further maturity, he added a back to his skill arsenal in the summer, and the league is showing signs of entering the Cavaliers era.
Recently, James has called Min Congda significantly less often.
This white-eyed wolf won't come to greet or ask for help when the team's record is good. m.
Opposite of James, Kevin Durant has also matured in the fifth year of his career.
His scoring is still the highest in the league. In the chaotic shortened season, his average of 28 points per game has reached the ceiling.
No one averages 30 points per game.
His rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks have all reached career highs.
The failure in last year's semifinals made him understand that he must become stronger to get a chance to dominate the league.
The Los Angeles Clippers are the stumbling block that prevents him from reaching the top, so Durant will naturally defeat them.
Before the game, the media also exaggerated and built momentum. Both teams are very popular.
There were also seven games in the playoffs last season. There were many young talents in the team, so the conversation was naturally full.
Unsurprisingly, the game was broadcast live across the United States.
The Staples Center was even more packed tonight, and there were a lot of stars and celebrities on the sidelines.
Min Congda stood in the VIP room, holding a red wine glass in his hand and looking down. Beckham and his family were here again.
And Kanye West, this guy recently got together with socialite Kim Kardashian and brought her to Staples to watch the game.
Kardashian was known to everyone in the basketball circle last year. She and Humphries, a rich second-generation player of the Nets, got married in May and immediately divorced in November, ending their short marriage.
Then at the end of 2011, Kim Kardashian and West fell in love, and they are currently living together.
From time to time, the big screen at the scene will scan the camera to see these celebrities, especially the female celebrities who are even more carefully dressed.
Min Congda couldn't help but think of Daddario. Since she left after the game that night, the two had no contact.
Min Congda called and sent text messages, but he didn't answer the phone or text messages.
Yesterday, he saw the announcement that Daddario was filming in New York and knew that she was fine and no longer in Los Angeles.
Unexpectedly, he didn't feel particularly uncomfortable, but continued to work, thinking about how to bankrupt the Clippers.
Until now, when he thought of Daddario and her beauty and enthusiasm, he felt a sense of loss and pain in his heart.
If they continue like this without contact or communication, I'm afraid the relationship between them will be over.
The sadness did not last long. The arrival of Anschutz and Ballmer brought Min Congda's thoughts back on track.
Ballmer, a billionaire CEO, still looked like the silly son of a landlord, and shook hands with Min Congda enthusiastically.
Anschutz looked down and said: "The Clippers are run very well by Smart. The box office tonight will definitely exceed one million US dollars. It is really amazing to do this in a shortened season."
Min Congda forced a smile, knowing that you meant well and wanted to praise me, so you might as well avoid it. It would be more uncomfortable than scolding me.
Anschutz asked again: "I heard that the Clippers recently wanted to buy the Great Western Forum Arena? What, you want to move the Clippers' home court to the Great Western Forum? Let me tell you, the Great Western Forum does not have VIP boxes."
Anschutz is well-informed and naturally knows that the Clippers want to buy the Great Western Forum Arena.
He is also worried that if the Clippers move away, Staples' traffic will be reduced by half and his income will drop a lot.
Especially seeing how the Clippers are prospering, if they really move, it will be a big loss for themselves.
Min Congda smiled and said: "We won't move it for the time being. The Great Western Forum is too old, but it's hard to say about the future. The Clippers are planning to build a new arena in the future."
Some people died, but not completely...
