Billions of dollars in business, Li Feng and Fang Zihan just patted their heads and decided!

Neither of them is a businessman, and they don't like to talk about business very much, so when it comes to buying the Clippers, they are naturally looking for someone to come forward.

In fact, they can't come forward either.

The Clippers have Fang Zihan and without Fang Zihan, and market value is completely different.

There is Fang Zihan's Clippers, even if the price is 5 billion, there are still a lot of people who want to buy it. Without Fang Zihan's Clippers, the market value is more than 2 billion, and no matter how much the premium is, it will be difficult to exceed 3 billion US dollars.

This is still the Clippers in Los Angeles, and the market value of those small city teams is only five or six hundred million dollars.

Of course, if you want to win the Clippers with more than 200 million, it is not very likely, because the owner of the Clippers is a well-known rich man in the NBA league. When he bought the Clippers, he offered an unbelievable price.

On the same day, Fang Zihan made a phone call to Fang Tianlin and asked him to help find an agent to buy the Clippers.

Although Fang Tianlin is mainly engaged in industry, and his business is mainly in Dongning City, after all, he is also a well-known wealthy man in Huaxia and has strong connections. It's not difficult to find a connection, contact a wealthy man as an agent, and ask him to help buy the Clippers.

If you don't find an agent, let alone Fang Zihan in person, I'm afraid that even if you find a rich Chinese man, it may make the owner of the Clippers suspicious and wonder if Fang Zihan will really retire.

Even if he finds a foreign rich man as an agent, and suddenly jumps out to say that he wants to buy the Clippers during this time period, it is estimated that the owner of the Clippers will be puzzled, considering whether the other party is more well-informed than him and knows Fang Zihan's injury better. Therefore, it is indispensable to buy it at a premium.

It only took three days for Fang Tianlin to reach an agreement with a wealthy Russian man, and he would come forward to buy the Clippers, and the faster the better. waited until he won the Clippers, and then sold it to Fang Tianlin to help Li Feng and Fang Zihan register a company abroad, and the owners of the Clippers officially became Li Feng and Fang Zihan.

In order to be able to win the Clippers as soon as possible, Fang Zihan began to pretend to consider the other party's proposal to retire after the general manager of the Clippers team called.

Li Feng has nothing to do, just wait for the terms to be negotiated, transfer the money, sign a few more contracts, and wait to become the majority shareholder of the Clippers.

Russian tycoons have always given people the feeling of being rich and wealthy in the sports world. The agent Fang Tianlin found also took this impression to the extreme, and as soon as he arrived in the United States, he began to participate in various banquets, revealing the idea of wanting to buy an NBA team.

Within two days, he officially began to contact the Lakers, Clippers, and Knicks, the three teams with the highest market price, and asked them for prices.

All of a sudden, all kinds of speculation came in, and all walks of life were speculating about which team the Russian billionaire would win in the end waving a check. And the most speculated is the Clippers.

The reason is very simple, Fang Zihan is about to retire or his form is seriously declining, and the value of the Clippers will undoubtedly decline all the way in the future. If you sell it now, you can sell it at a high price. In a few years, it may not be able to sell for its current price.

And the situation is going as everyone guessed. The Russian plutocrats, apparently, are more inclined to buy clippers. After all, compared to the Lakers and Knicks, the Clippers are also in the luxury metropolis, but the price is much cheaper than both. It's like another Russian billionaire who finally bought the Nets in New York City for only 200 million. If you buy the New York Knicks, adding a zero to the back may not be successful. The Clippers and the Nets are just not as famous as the Lakers and Knicks.

Local tyrants are local tyrants, and it is certainly better to spend less money.

According to relevant sources, the owner of the Clippers also seems to be interested in selling the Clippers after listening to the offer.

Of course, the NBA is a place where rumors fly. The person concerned or something, it should not be true.

It wasn't until more than half a month later that a news report came out.

"The Clippers officially changed hands, and the Russian rich invaded the NBA again!"

Although there are a lot of uncertain words in this news, such as said and probable, the headline does not play any tricks.

With $3 billion, the Clippers once again set a staggering price and were acquired at a sky-high price.

In less than a day, after the major sports media got the exact news, they reported on the incident.

There is no suspense about the Clippers changing hands.

"The Clippers Change Hands, Where Will the Prince of China Go?"

"According to rumors, Prince Huaxia may switch to the Lakers next door!"

"Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the Chinese prince's farewell to the Clippers is a foregone conclusion, according to reliable sources, the Russian rich prefer the top center! Even if the Chinese prince returns, he will have no place in the declining state. 》

Soon, the major media shifted their attention to Fang Zihan.

Even the Chinese media, after learning that the Clippers had changed hands, were obviously much more pessimistic than before.

You must know that once Fang Zihan's state declines seriously and his strength is difficult to return to the peak, the biggest hope is that the Clippers can remember that he is the biggest hero in the history of the Clippers and will not sell him. Instead, after the two-year contract expires, give him another decent contract and let him retire with the Clippers for the rest of his life.

Otherwise, once Fang Zihan is sold to other teams, not only will the status of the team boss be lost, but the contract will expire after two years, and he may not even be able to mix up role players. After all, it's one thing to have a lot of fans, but the slightly better known coaches in the NBA are more awesome, and they care more about the team's record than how much money the team can make. Superstars who have suffered a severe decline in form can only retain most of their original status by staying in their original teams.

Now that the Clippers have changed owners, they have not enjoyed the glory brought to him by Fang Zihan, and naturally they will not care about the old relationship and support him with a high salary. The only possibility of leaving Fang Zihan is Fang Zihan's fame, which can guarantee that the Clippers will not lose money even if they offer him any sky-high contract.

But the purpose of those rich Russians who buy basketball teams and football teams is never to make money.

Los Angeles, Clippers general manager's office, Brenaud anxiously pacing back and forth in the office.

Today is the day when the Russian tycoon comes to take over the team.

Many people are talking about the fact that after the change of boss, Fang Zihan, who has seriously declined in state, will face the embarrassing situation of being a son of heaven and a courtier. Whether he should make a comeback or retire for dignity is the hottest topic in the sports world right now. For this reason, there are even quite a few bookmakers who offer odds.

Similarly, Brenaud is actually facing the situation of a son of heaven and a courtier. The general manager is in charge of everything on the team, and the owners naturally choose the person they can trust the most. Although in order to maintain the stability of the team, it is unlikely that the Russian tycoon will replace him in two or three years. But after two or three years, when the Russian tycoon is familiar with the operation of the team and knows more team managers, if his ability cannot meet the boss's expectations, I am afraid he will have to face fire.

He couldn't help but glance at the plan on his desk, which he had spent more than half a month conceiving carefully. And the content is how to make the Clippers survive the post-Fang Zihan era and re-emerge in a short period of time.

Tens of thousands of words were sprinkled, not only analyzing how the Lakers fell to the bottom and how irrational the Lakers in the post-Kobe era were, but also formulating how to make the Clippers rise from the trough as quickly as possible after abandoning Fang Zihan. Finally, it is to explain how he discovered Fang Zihan back then, how to dig and cultivate Fang Zihan with discernment, and confidently stated that according to his thinking, he will definitely be able to cultivate a second Fang Zihan for the Clippers within five years.

This plan was produced by him to show his former boss after convincing him. As a result, the former boss turned into the ex.

Fortunately, the plan still works. Handing it over to the current boss can also prove his strength.

There was a knock on the door, and then the sexy and voluptuous secretary pushed the door in, looking a little nervous and a little excited. The new boss is only in his fifties, and his resistance to beautiful women is far inferior to that of the previous boss, who is almost seventy years old.

"Mr. Prit is here. ”

Breno straightened his tie, took a deep breath, and immediately went out to greet him.

In the hallway, Breno meets the new owner, Pullett. To his surprise, there was another acquaintance next to Prit.

One of Fang Zihan's two assistants!

He remembered his surname Zhang.

What is this guy doing here?

Could it be that it is a matter of discussing retirement?

Breno's heart moved, in the past half a month, he and Fang Zihan have also called and chatted a few times, and he can hear that Fang Zihan seems to have the idea of retiring. With tens of millions of annual salary contracts, it is difficult for other players to give up. But Fang Zihan is not short of money at all, giving up his contract for the next two years and concentrating on entering Hollywood, which is a win-win situation.

"Hello, Mr. Plitt!"

Breno hurriedly stepped forward with a gentle smile on his face.

As a general manager, you should be reserved.

"Hello, Breno. ”

Pulit stepped forward and shook Brenaud's hand.

"Please sit inside. ”

After nodding to Assistant Zhang, Brenaud led Pulit into the office.

"Mr. Plit, what do you think of Los Angeles?"

When the secretary brought coffee, Breno asked with a smile, he planned to have a family relationship with the new boss Lala first, and enhance the relationship between the two parties.

"It's okay!" Pullett was obviously not interested in having a relationship with Grenola, and he said bluntly: "I came here this time to discuss with you about your contract with the team. ”

"Is it a renewal?"

Breno's face was beaming, and that was good news. He has only one year left on his contract with the team for the next year. If you change to a new contract in advance, why do you have to sign it for five years?

Plitt shook his head: "I'm going to buy out the remaining year of your contract." ”

"How is that possible?" Brenaud stood up in surprise, he couldn't believe his ears, how could he just buy the team and fire the general manager of the team?

If there are any experienced and well-known general managers who are at home, it is still possible. But at the moment, there are no such people at home.

This is completely unreasonable!

"Mr. Pullett, I'm an experienced general manager and have been in the NBA for almost two decades. He couldn't help but remind.

"I know, and thank you for your contributions to the Clippers. "Plitt headed.

Brenaud picked up the plan on his desk and handed it to Plitt, explaining: "This is my five-year plan for the Clippers, as long as I give me five years, I can guarantee that I will be able to survive the post-Font era and find a new epic superstar for the Clippers who will not lose to Font Hammer." ”

"Sorry, I don't need that kind of proposal. Pullett obviously didn't want to say more, he stood up and said, "If you can, please cooperate with Mr. Zhang." ”

"Handed over to him, didn't he come to discuss Fang Zihan's retirement?" Brenaud became more and more suspicious of whether there was something wrong with his ears.

Plitt shook his head: "Fang Zihan will not retire. ”

It dawned on Breno that he thought he understood.

It must be that Fang Zihan didn't want to retire, so he made a preemptive strike and persuaded Brenaud to fire him in turn.

He was completely relieved, raised the plan in his hand again, and said confidently: "Mr. Prit, it is obvious that you have been deceived by Fang Zihan. He did rule the NBA, but that was before the injury. With his age, plus a damaged and torn meniscus, it is impossible to come back to the same state as before. In this regard, no matter what doctor you ask, they will definitely give the same answer. So, I think you should read my proposal. ”

"No, you don't. Plitt shook his head.

"Why?" Brenaud wondered, "You don't believe me?"

"I believe it!" Pu Lid's head nodded, he really asked relevant professional doctors, and he asked several, and the answer he came up with was that even if Fang Zihan made a comeback, I am afraid it would be difficult to regain his former dominance.

If the team is his own, he may choose to support Pulitt like the previous owner of the Clippers.

The problem is, he's not the owner of the Clippers.

He just made a deal with Fang Tianlin and showed up in exchange for other benefits.

"Then why did you do that?" Brenaud couldn't figure out.

"Because the real boss of the Clippers is my boss. Assistant Zhang replied with a smile, although the real boss is Li Feng, who holds more than 60% of the shares, but Li Feng doesn't care about anything at all, everything in the Clippers is Fang Zihan's decision.

It can also be said that he is in charge.

Because, he will succeed Brenaud as the general manager of the Clippers.

Assistant Zhang turned into General Manager Zhang.

Breno was dumbfounded, and he looked at Pulit in disbelief.

Pulit nodded slightly.

Brenaud knew that he was decided, and he was a little reluctant to say: "Active players can't be team owners." ”

Assistant Zhang looked at him with some disdain: "It's just talking, when the Magic was still a player, didn't he also buy shares in the Lakers, find a relative to come out and top it, it's enough if you don't admit it." ”

Brenau was silent, and he smiled bitterly: "It is worthy of Fang Zihan, in order to prevent his status in the team from declining, he simply bought the team." ”

He did a lot of calculations, but he didn't count this. Just thinking that Fang Zihan is not short of money, and he is handsome, and his piano level is not lost to the basketball level, he can completely mix well in Hollywood. Unexpectedly, Fang Zihan was so obsessed with basketball that he would rather spend billions of dollars to buy the team than continue to play basketball.

"I'll tell you another news, my boss, who will be coming back soon. ”

Assistant Zhang scoffed and bought the Clippers, just to take precautions and take the initiative completely. In fact, as soon as Fang Zihan came back, there was nothing to do with Breno.

An epic superstar like Fang Zihan is at his peak, not only can the head coach be killed, but firing the general manager is just a matter of one sentence.

"Is he crazy? Coming back before surgery?"

Breno's eyes widened and his mouth was open enough to stuff an egg.

This is probably the most surprising news he has heard this year, more than learning that Pullett is going to fire him, and more than learning that Fang Zihan has formed the owner of the Clippers.

After all, the above two points are still possible.

But he can be sure that Fang Zihan definitely did not return to the United States for surgery.

I didn't have any surgery, you walk in pain, and you want to come back?

Assistant Zhang was promoted to the position of general manager, and he was in a good mood, so he couldn't help but be naughty.

"My boss, in a wheelchair, still blow up the entire NBA!"
