Chapter 195: Jobs Takes Over the Clippers
After all, it's just a training match, even if you really fight, you have to have a degree, and it is the king to keep your strength to the Olympics~ Games.
The old coach called the end when he saw that the scores of the two teams reached a tie, and the confrontation between the teams was over. The next step is regular training, and the next training game is expected to wait for other NBA players to sparring ......
Joe and the others are still training, but there are big waves in the alliance! The Los Angeles Clippers have changed owners!!
Donald, the former owner of the Clippers, announced that he had bought all of his shares in the Clippers to Apple. That said, Jobs became the new owner of the Clippers.
This move surprised many people, it was not that Jobs bought the NBA team, Apple made much more money this month than the price of buying the team, and buying a team is a matter of buying and selling. It can only be said that the NBA team has changed a big boss again. What people don't understand is why Jobs bought the Clippers.
Industry insiders believe that the Clippers are the saddest team in the league, and the Lakers are not the same city, but the arena is still the same. Even if playing the Lakers at home, it makes no difference whether it is the Lakers' home court. Coupled with the team's poor performance in recent years and the lack of big-name stars, fans in Los Angeles have been attracted away by the Lakers, even if the Lakers' record plummeted after O'Neal left a few years ago, but with Kobe, the king of fans, the Clippers did not turn over. This year, the Lakers' performance has rebounded, and the Clippers have been even worse. As the owner, Donald has also been losing money, and there is no way that no one will watch the Clippers' games, and he can't make any money for tickets. Finally, there is a big man who is willing to buy the Clippers, and Donald sells the team's shares, which is also a normal decision.
Steve Jobs became the new owner of the Clippers, and many people are looking to see what he does next. It's been the biggest offseason so far.
Jobs' surprise to the fans was not over, and soon Jobs announced that the Clippers would not move out of Los Angeles, but they would soon have their own "home". The league has given Jobs the go-ahead to build a new big arena in Los Angeles. The name of the arena is also very simple, "Apple Center", although it was acquired in his name, but Apple has been deeply branded with Jobs's name, and it is not a matter of taking this name. The name is quite secondary, but this is also Jobs's determination to lead the Clippers to a further step!
Even Joe himself was a little surprised, Job's "(8) dǐng" "(8) diǎn" (8) 小" (8) said, .↘.o≧s_ (); Si will actually build a new arena. It costs a lot of money to buy a team, and building a new stadium will only cost more. While Joe doesn't mind the Clippers continuing to share a arena with the Lakers, it's certainly best to have a new arena. Still, Joe wondered why Jobs did what he did.
According to the previous agreement, Nominally Jobs bought the team, but the money was paid by Joe, and Joe relied on Apple 1 to go public this time, and the dividends he ate were scary, which should be enough to buy the Clippers. As for the next expenses, it can only be paid by Jobs. Joe has to pay back all the money, but all the profits of the Clippers belong to Joe, and I believe that it won't be long before Joe pays off the expenses.
And the two also have a secret agreement, that is, Joe will give Jobs whenever he wants to return to the team, provided that Joe pays off all the expenses that Jobs spent while running the Clippers.
Now what does it mean that Steve Jobs is suddenly going to build an "Apple Center".
Joe, who was still training, immediately asked the old coach for a day off. Joe cares more about the Clippers than the Dream Team. Anyway, the dream team will definitely win, and his soul is not a countryman.
Ask for a day off and say that it is neither big nor small, but fortunately, the old coach finally agreed, but it was only one day.
One day was enough time for Joe.
It was also this day that Joe also knew why Jobs did so many things.
First of all, why did Jobs make a big move, because he learned that the benefits of basketball can even lead to many things. For example, Joe, the sneakers endorsed by Joe and the results of Apple 1 are so good that they explode.
Jobs found that the benefits of running a team with a reasonable operation are very large, and Apple is an electronic product, not a real estate business like Donald. Think about the reality of a fan of a football star buying you a mobile phone or buying a house. The role of stars is too great, especially for Apple now. Many users buy Apple 1 because they are fans of Joe, and this is the linkage effect. In addition, the Apple 1 is not bad in the first place, and the current sales trend is still rising. The NBA team is really a good side hustle, and that's what makes Jobs excited.
After Joe and Jobs met, Jobs also made it straightforward that he wanted to accept the team. Joe was also stunned when he heard it, but he didn't expect that his original mention of yì really changed Jobs's view of basketball. And Jobs also said that although he doesn't pay much attention to basketball, there are always people around him who pay attention and will know something if they ask. What a team wants is popularity, what it wants is stars. He doesn't know much about these things, but he believes in Joe, and the team formation will be left to Joe to solve by himself, and he will solve other financial problems, with a clear division of labor.
Joe's impulse to buy the team was to build a perfect team, and what he wanted was to have an absolute say in the team. Only in this way is there no interference from the management in the process of building the team.
The problem now is that Jobs wants to own this team, and he is willing to give Joe the power to manage the team.
If you change to the time when you don't know that there are Platinum Star benefits later, the team will be Joe's money-making guy in the future, and now it seems that Joe's future will have a team is not heavy. Since Jobs was willing to give Joe this right, Joe didn't have to spend money, so why not?
Joe is not afraid that Jobs will turn his face and not recognize people, first of all, Jobs is not that kind of person, and secondly, Joe owns shares in Apple, and I believe that Jobs will not cheat shareholders and friends.
As for why Jobs is willing to build a stadium, it is a force, and if you want to do it, you have to do your best, which is why Apple 1 will postpone the sale in this life, and you have to do your best.
Now it's okay, Joe is rich and has a team, so he can go to waste.
