Chapter 171: Another Blow (Fourth Update)

After refusing to cooperate with YouTube's sponsorship for no reason, Min Congda had no choice but to agree to sign the contract.

The Clippers executives collectively opened champagne to celebrate, and the specific negotiations and signing will be completed in the next week.

Min Congda could no longer afford to worry about this unfortunate matter, and left the negotiation package to Rosser.

At the same time, he decided to turn his grief and anger into motivation and strive to develop new loss-making projects.

He wants to pin his hopes on the people of the motherland and use the bottomless pit of the basketball development fund to drain the last drop of blood of the Clippers!

"Looking at it this way, fortunately, I thought of a good project of basketball talent development, which can consume the funds of YouTube, otherwise wouldn't the valuation of the Clippers be higher?"

"I'm really a genius, if I can't think of this fund project, the Clippers will have more than 6 million more than 6 million annual liquidity out of thin air, but fortunately, my brain is spinning fast and I have learned experience and lessons from failure."

Min Congda was very proud of the project he came up with for the China Basketball Development Fund, and successfully hedged the 5-year 30 million sponsorship contract of YouTube.

After the meeting, he left Olchea alone and told him: "Olshe, I have decided to hand over the project of the Asian Regional Basketball Talent Development Fund to you. ”

Olsie said: "Isn't it the China region? How did you expand into Asia again? ”

Min Congda said: "I have said it, the vision should be long-term and the pattern should be large. China is a part of Asia, and if you develop part of China, won't you go to Asia and then the world in the future? ”

Olsie nodded, he who was dismissive of Min Congda in the past has now been successfully brainwashed.

I feel that the decisions of the general manager of Smart are correct and beyond doubt.

Look at Riccelle, who was originally a marginal figure among the team's executives.

As a result, he followed Mr. Smart's instructions, did a few beautiful things, and successfully lifted himself to the number four person.

Seeing that he is about to surpass Orsie, second only to Rosser, to become the number three person.

Olche deeply realized that if you follow in the footsteps of Smart and unite closely around the general manager of Smart, you can make good results.

As the team's general manager, Olchea can be said to have failed this season, and the Carman deal was led by Min Congda.

In the draft and signing, Olser lost his voice and became a pure tool, calculating salaries and consulting collective agreements.

This kind of work can be completed by just pulling an ordinary staff member, which leads to a low sense of accomplishment in Olshe's work.

But he didn't want to quit because the Clippers paid a lot of money, and he spent a lot more time with his family after less work.

So Olchet is contradictory.

Well, Mr. Smart hasn't forgotten him after all, he is capable and valuable!

"You can start preparing for this, and I will arrange a working partner for you to dock with in China. In short, you have to uphold a principle, don't be afraid to spend money, don't just look at the present, but focus on the long-term. Also, it's better not to cooperate with the authorities, I hope that our funds and training camps will remain independent and focus on the campus. ”

Min Congda put forward several principles that Orsh should follow.

The reason why he didn't want to cooperate with the official was that Min Congda was worried about the emergence of a second Yao Ming.

Yao Ming's influence in China is huge, and the benefits to the Rockets alone are very terrifying.

A large number of domestic manufacturers sponsorship, box office attendance increases, ratings increase and so on.

Before Yao Ming's arrival, the Rockets lost money year after year, falling from a championship powerhouse in the 90s to a fish belly team.

The stadium and training hall are in tatters, in disrepair, and look like they are going bankrupt and bankrupt at any time.

After Yao Ming's arrival, the market value of the Rockets has risen all the way, becoming one of the few teams that can enter the single-game box office million-dollar club.

Min Congda didn't want to dig and dig in the country by himself, and if he really dug up a Yao Minglai, he would be blind.

Based on his understanding of the domestic situation, in addition to sports schools, most middle school children are reading exams, and basketball is just a pastime.

Without a good basic basketball education from a young age, the so-called basketball genius is just a tree without roots, water without a source, and it will not grow out of thin air.

Olser jotted down these principles one by one and asked, "Then who will be the staff with whom I will be connected when I arrive in China?" ”

Min Congda thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, I will arrange the affairs of the Chinese side, and I will tell you when the arrangements are made." You should prepare first, and after signing the contract with YouTube, your work should be laid out as soon as possible. ”

After arranging this matter, Min Congda thought that hedging in pairs was equivalent to nothing happening, and the only loss was the $50,000.

Thinking of this, Min Congda's heart was bleeding, and he decided to put his energy back on the Clippers.

He's going to see the Clippers lose, lose 25 more games, and get his $50,000 back.

On Feb. 9, the Clippers host the Utah Jazz.

Three days ago, the Clippers hosted the Spurs and lost 99-107.

Recently, the Clippers' state has not been very stable, and they are in the process of repairing after finishing eight consecutive trips.

However, there are a few changes worth paying attention to, one is that Gasol Jr. has gradually secured the position of the team's main center forward.

Mike Dunleavy tried a couple of games to get Camby to start, insisting that Gasol Jr. protest to Min Congda, only to find it useless.

If you lose, you lose, Min Congda didn't pay attention to Lao Deng at all, and Lao Deng's protest was ineffective.

Then I found that little Gasol was young and easy to use, and he and Randolph became more and more tacit.

As a result, Lao Deng could only promote Gasol Jr. to the position of starting center.

The second is that Curry's starters are getting better and better, the best rookie of the month, and continuous highlight performances.

Curry used his strength to fight back against doubts from all sides.

Dunleavy also found Curry to be more reliable than the veteran Davis in every way.

In recent games, the Clippers are gradually moving from dual control to single control by Curry.

Barang Davis' role is becoming more and more like that of a shooting guard, playing a supporting role.

The third is that Ricky Davis appears more in the rotation of the old Deng.

In part of the eight-game streak, Deng Sr. tried to start Ricky Davis.

Last season, Ricky Davis was very resistant to being the team's small forward.

The small forward position has a heavy defensive task, and the opponents are tall and large outside lines.

Ricky Davis, who plays a shooting guard and prefers to hold the ball, is not used to it, and has a tense relationship with Lao Deng.

Now, Ricky Davis has embraced his new position and has a good presence at the small forward position.

As an experiment, Lao Deng also tried a big four small lineup with Gasol Jr. as the axis.

Anyway, there is no pressure on the record, just play, just test the team lineup.

Although the Clippers lost some games, it invisibly enhanced the tacit understanding between the players.

It also improves the flexibility of the player's mind when playing on the field, and is less rigid.

The players have grown steadily in a relaxed and stable state, and the atmosphere in the team is very good.

Because as we all know, the strategy of General Manager Smart is to look to the future and look at the long-term.

Against the Jazz, the Clippers, who were fully involved in the first half, played very closely with their opponents.

The score alternately rises, and no one can lead by more than 5 points.

At halftime, the Clippers led the Jazz by two points at 54:56.

It's another unpredictable game to fight until the last minute.

Min Congda was in an irritable mood when he saw it, and he showed off his popcorn.

At this time, Ida came over to Min Congda and said, "Mr. Smart, Mr. Anschutz would like to invite you to the VIP room. ”

Min Congda was immediately alert and asked, "Mr. Anschutz, who is Mr. Anschutz?" ”

"He's the owner of the Staples Center. ”

The boss of the Staples Center looking for himself? What's the matter? Do you want to raise your own rent?

That's a good thing.

However, Min Congda still asked, "Did he say something about me?" ”

Ida shook her head and said, "I didn't say it explicitly, but he said it was a good thing." ”

With a "snap", the popcorn bucket in Min Congda's hand fell to the floor and spilled on the ground.

Seeing this, Ida said worriedly, "Mr. Smart, are you alright?" What's wrong? ”

Min Congda waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Ida, this is life, let's go, take me to meet Mr. Anschutz." ”

Ida didn't understand what Min Congda meant, so she asked the staff to pack up the popcorn and went to the VIP floor with Min Congda.
