"Pitted, definitely pitted!"

"Who came up with this idea? Who is it! What documentary, what African fans? Damn, let me raise donations, $50,000! ”

"I'm RNM $50,000, woo woo, how many games are the Clippers going to lose...... 50000 divided by 2000 equals 25... 25 balls! ”

"I've played almost half of the season with the Clippers and I haven't lost 25 games."

"Is it easy for me to take your 100,000 yuan? risking your reputation to be a referee, what is the difference between this and going to the zoo to live broadcast a tiger, it's all life money. ”

"Who the hell came up with the bad idea of charity fundraising, let Lao Tzu be the initiator!"

"It's definitely Adam Silva, I don't think his expression is right at the dinner, he looks!"

"This beam is finished, this beam is finished!"

After returning to the hotel at the end of the dinner, Min Congda lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, feeling uncomfortable.

He even lost interest in making out with Daddario, and returned to the hotel himself after delivering Dadrio to his home in New York.

Although Daddario was reluctant, she was deeply shocked by Min Congda's speech tonight, and she rose a little reverence for Min Congda, so she listened to him.

Under the leadership of Min Congda, Daddario donated $200,000, a figure that was unbearable for Min Congda.

But for a person like D'Addario who was born in a family and has a career as an actor, it's just a drizzle.

Not to mention those retired basketball superstars and team owners, it is easy to donate more than 1 million yuan.

Min Congda deeply felt that although everyone seemed to be in a circle, Min Congda was not in the same class as them.

In terms of wealth, he is an ordinary person, and although he has gained a lot of fame by such a pit, his vitality has been greatly damaged.

"I want a reputation to be useful, I want money, and with money can I make a name for myself, without money, this reputation is a burden."

"It's a pit for me, but in the eyes of Silva and Stern, maybe it's a reward for me. It's really damn bad, what kind of Walt Kennedy Citizenship Award will you give me, won't you ask me to donate every year in the future? ”

"I'm a salaryman, it's good to support myself, how can I have money to donate to others."

After calming down, Min Congda analyzed that this was not someone else trying to trap him, but on the contrary, he wanted to praise him.

It's a pity that they don't know the actual situation of Min Congda, and they slapped the horse's ass in the wrong place, and broke his Achilles tendon on the horse's leg.

"No, I can't stay here in New York anymore, this is the headquarters of the NBA, and I've been to this kind of party once, and then I have to be invited three times or twice. At that time, let me donate money and the calf will be over..."

"Well, but, Foundation, it's a good way to drain the team's money."

As the saying goes, looking for hope in despair, every time in a desperate situation, Min Congda can always find a spark of hope.

He turned his mind around and realized that setting up a foundation was a good way to spend money.

He immediately opened his laptop and retrieved relevant information to learn about the NBA's talent development system.

The excavation and cultivation of reserve talents in basketball can be said to be a bottomless pit of funds, which can consume a lot of cash flow.

Unlike European football clubs, NBA teams do not have a youth training system, and young talent is supplemented by universities and leagues in overseas countries.

After all, the NBA is dominant, and winning a championship is known as the "world champion", the world champion, and the face is very big.

Basketball talent from all over the world wants to come and show their talents, so NBA teams don't need to have any youth reserve teams at all.

But that doesn't mean that NBA teams don't pay attention to the development of reserve talent, and if you don't dig in, someone else will poach you.

The team recruits talented junior basketball players for long-term observation through various camps.

This observation can last for five to six years, starting with a child in middle school and going all the way to college.

In the eyes of NBA teams, these teenagers are high-quality assets for the future, and there are superstars hidden in them.

Spotting them early is not only conducive to their growth, but also allows the team to focus on good seedlings early and prepare for the draft.

This is a kind of angel investment, spending a little money in the early years and getting big returns in the future.

Some teams with strong draft picks, such as the San Antonio Spurs, have formed scouting teams early on to go to Europe to explore this uncultivated virgin territory.

Ginobili, who plays in Italy, was drafted in 1999 and will only be able to play in the 2002 season, but Spurs are willing to wait.

That year, the Spurs were the defending champions, with a low draft pick, and the 57th pick in the second round picked one of the future troika.

Because Spurs have scouted, this player is worth the wait.

Tony Parker, who attended the Spurs' training camp, decided to take him.

Other teams didn't know how many pounds and taels this French little guard was, and he was picked up by the Spurs with the 28th pick.

In addition to the Spurs, there are also the Rockets, Kings, and Mavericks, all of which have opened up the overseas basketball talent market relatively early.

A number of star players such as Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Stojakovic, and Nowitzki were brought into the NBA, bringing great changes to the team, and at the same time enhancing the team's popularity overseas and developing overseas markets.

And some old powerhouses, especially the eastern teams, do not pay much attention to overseas talent.

As a result, in the first decade of the 21 st century, a pattern emerged in which the west was strong and the east was weak, and the east lagged behind in terms of development strategy.

The only Eastern Conference team to value overseas players is the Chicago Bulls, whose second triple title has a lot to do with Kukoc.

After seeing the Spurs, Rockets and other teams in basketball and the market, the East slowly put more attention to Europe, Asia, and Africa.

For example, the Milwaukee Bucks selected Yi Jianlian in the 2007 draft, hoping to replicate Yao Ming's miracle.

and in 2005, they used the top pick to win Australian center Bogut, but it was not very successful, because they only picked people in the draft, and did not follow up, develop, and develop early.

After all, the small market in the city is small, and big-name players will not come, and the high-level draft is not every year, so they can only engage in angel investment.

Min also wants to develop overseas talent markets, but his purpose is different from that of other teams.

"Other teams are starting the NBA era of great exploration and making great discoveries. Of course, we Clippers can't do that, I want to learn from our Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, go to the West to give gifts, and never engage in basketball colonization! To embody the generosity and enthusiasm of our Clippers, to contribute to the development of world basketball, not to be a vampire. ”

Min Congda spent almost an hour formulating the Clippers' overseas basketball talent development strategy and named it the "Three Treasures Plan".

He set his sights on China on the other side of the ocean, and was determined to scatter money in his hometown, with his little impression of Chinese sports, throwing some money here would definitely not be able to see the effect of fart.

"But... Who is going to do this? Rosser? Or Orsie? Why don't you let Olsher go, he's going to have nothing to do when he stays at the headquarters every day, isn't he just tossing about the draft. Just bomb him to China, so that he will not be tossed around in the United States. And then the Chinese side ......"

Min Congda is thinking about how to make this fund project work, and at the same time spend the money, there can be no results.

Min Congda, this kind of money-burning project, has seen a lot in the past, set up this fund and that fund, supported this and supported that, and in the end, the industry was not supported, and some rats who were full of private pockets were fed.

Min Congda hopes to have such an effect, with a person in China, and give all the money of the Clippers to Huo Huo.

At this time, Min Congda's mobile phone rang, and it was Rosser's phone.

"Hello, Rosser, what's the matter? I'm back in Los Angeles tomorrow with an important project that I need your financial help with. ”

Min Congda came up and gave Rosser a critical blow, and TM wants to spend money on projects, is you the general manager of basketball or the contractor?

Rosser's voice on the other side was a little excited, and said, "Okay Mr. Smart, I'll wait for you to come back, just so I have good news for you......"

"Wait!"

Min Congda interrupted Rosser, and now he panicked when he heard the "good news"!

"Ahem, what's the good news, it can't be that someone is going to donate money to our team, right?"

"Almost! Because of the hit of "Basketball & Key", YouTube is ready to sign a strategic cooperation agreement with us and become the team's advertising sponsor! ”

"What!? I... How much does the sponsorship cost? ”

"Thirty million."

Min Congda's eyes were dark, and he couldn't see anything.

"Damn, there's a power outage."
