It was the first time Min Congda had come to the VIP room at Staples Center, and he found that the VIP room here was not very luxurious.

It's a little worse than the VIP room of the domestic luxury bathing center, I don't know if it's because of the early construction age.

But tickets are by no means cheap, with VIP rooms for Clippers games starting at $1,200 — $1,000 before the price increase, equivalent to the annual per capita income of some poor African countries.

If it's a Lakers game, especially some of the key games, the ticket price here is even more expensive, going up to five figures.

As the general manager of the team, Min Congda has never watched the football and talked about business in the VIP private room, so it is a bit faceless to think about it.

So when he was led to the private room by Anschutz's bodyguards, Min Congda tried his best to hold his head up, not squint, and pretended to come often.

But he was worried in his heart, not afraid of Anschutz, these big bosses and capitalists, one is counted as one, and Min Congda is not afraid.

What he was afraid of was the good news that the big boss wanted to tell him, and he had been hit continuously recently, and Min Congda couldn't stand it.

On the way, I heard Ida say that this Anschutz is a well-known sports investor in the United States.

Several professional teams in Los Angeles, like the Lakers, Kings, Dodgers, and Galaxy, all have his stake investments, and they are worthy of the name of the king of Los Angeles sports.

Min Congda is particularly worried that Anschutz wants to invest in the Clippers and provide funds to the Clippers.

That was really worse for his bankruptcy business, and it was even more difficult, and he couldn't live his life.

However, Min Congda thought for a moment and thought: "If Anschutz really wants to invest in the Clippers, he shouldn't look for me, but Sterling." After all, I'm just a general manager in power, and Sterling is the boss. ”

Thinking about it like this, his heart calmed down a lot, and when he came to the VIP private room, he immediately smelled an attractive fragrance.

"Wow, it's so fragrant, this VIP room is good, you can watch the game and eat a big meal inside."

After entering the door, Min Congda saw Anschutz, as well as the pizza, sandwiches, and roast chicken placed in front of Anschutz's table.

It's all piping hot and has a rich fragrance to the outside.

Philippe Anschutz has gray hair, neatly combed back to the back of his head.

He had a pale and calm face, a mouthful of straight teeth, and a slightly tired countenance on his face.

It is said to be a faint emptiness after all kinds of desires have been satisfied.

It's the kind of expression on the face of a big capitalist and a big chaebol.

Ordinary people are tired to death every day in order to eat a meal, how can it be possible to feel the emptiness after this extreme satisfaction.

Anschutz gestured to Min Congda, motioned for him to sit down, and said, "There are still two steaks that have not been served, you can try the pizza first." ”

Min Congda's stomach happened to be a little hungry, and he never was polite to these big bosses, let alone twisted and pinched.

If you let me eat it, I'll eat it, eat people with a soft mouth? It's impossible, my Min Congda has the hardest mouth in his whole body except for his little brother.

"Pizza with matsutake mushrooms? Yes, yes, Mr. Anschutz's pizza is tasteful...... This black is caviar, right? ”

Min Congda picked up the pizza and took a bite and found that the pizza was really extravagant.

The mushrooms used are matsutake mushrooms, and the sauce is high-quality caviar, which is estimated to be expensive.

Min Congda thought to himself: "This rich man can eat and make, it's a pity to eat a baked cake and add so many good ingredients." ”

However, when I ate it in my mouth, I chewed it, and the rich taste and aroma in my mouth were indeed great.

Whose pizza is this, there's something to it, why haven't I eaten it in Staples before?

Anshutz looked at Min Congda's satisfied expression and smiled: "The pizza here is really good, and it is a little better than the last time I ate it." I'm a person who has eaten all kinds of food, but this pizza makes me feel at home. ”

Min Congda nodded, it was indeed delicious, but he didn't realize the feeling of home, which of them ate pizza when he was a child.

Anshutz poured Min Congda another glass of sparkling wine and said, "There will be steak later, try it too." How do you think this store can be made bigger and let more people taste it? ”

When Min Congda heard it, was he going to open a chain store? As a sports giant and an oil giant, how can he have the heart to engage in such a trick as catering.

The whole Stamp Center is yours, and you're still thinking about what to do to make a big restaurant, just kidding.

However, Min Congda still said: "With Mr. Anschutz's financial resources, it is not a problem for me to get another Pizza Hut out." ”

Anschutz shook his head with a smile and said, "No, no, no, I'm not interested in Pizza Hut or anything, that's business, food is not my field." I want to open a fine dining restaurant, a... How to say it, a high-end restaurant with a warm, approachable, and homely feel. ”

"You know Smart, I've eaten a lot of good food, I've been to a lot of fancy restaurants, and their food is great, beautiful, and even luxurious. But at the same time it was cold, there was no temperature, no emotion, and I didn't feel like I was eating, but admiring the exquisite crafts, which made me lose my appetite. ”

Min Congda listened, what's the matter, do you want temperature, to be approachable? You go eat Haidilao.

The waiters in Haidilao let you feel what it means to be at home and what it means to be warm and service.

Anshutz looked at Min Congda with a look of bewilderment, and wondered if this Smart couldn't understand what I was saying.

Everyone is a high-end person and a decent person, do you have to make it clear?

With Anschutz's wealth status, he did lose his status as a catering, but he had a reason to do it.

Seeing that Smart was silent, Anshutz didn't want to go around in circles, and said straightly: "Smart, I am very interested in the red-headed boots restaurant invested by your clippers, I want to buy it and buy it at a premium." Of course, if you don't want to sell, you can let me take a stake, and I'm willing to provide the best resources to make this restaurant the most famous arena restaurant in Los Angeles. ”

Min Congda stopped chewing in his mouth, looked at Anshutz in a daze, and said, "What did you say?" Red-toed boots? Clippers invested in restaurants? Are you going to buy it? ”

Anshutz spread his hands and said, "yes, you're eating pizza with red boots, can't you taste it?" Or have you not eaten it? ”

Anschutz couldn't believe that this kid spent the team's money to invest in the restaurant, and how it would be to not taste the chef's craft.

Min Congda thought to himself that something was wrong, I had eaten it, but it was obviously difficult to eat, salty and spicy, and it didn't taste like this at all.

Looking at Anschutz is not like a joke, Min Congda's heart is like a blunt blow, and the recent series of blows has made Min Congda's nerves fragile.

What the hell is wrong with the world? Why are you treating me like this? Why is it that I have to open a restaurant to be acquired?

Seeing their own layout, from big to small, from the long term to the present, they are all shattered one by one.

This kind of pain is unbearable for ordinary people, and Min Congda is about to collapse.

At this time, someone pushed the door in, and it brought a burst of burnt beef smell.

Anschutz got up from his chair and said, "The signature of the red-toed boots, the panctorio steak is here." ”

Min Congda turned his head to see that he thought it was Christopher, but it turned out to be not, but an Italian woman with chestnut hair.

He should be in his forties, but he has an excellent demeanor, wearing a white chef's uniform and rolling up his sleeves, which is very stylish.

Anschutz personally stepped forward to take the steak plate in her hand, put it on the table, and said, "This is your chef of Red Head Boots, Miss Linda, and the real reason why I am willing to invest in Red Head Boots Restaurant." ”

Linda? Min Congda seems to have heard Ida mention it, it seems to be her aunt, seeing that Anshutz is a little intimate with her, what is the situation?

Min Congda's confidence has not only been hit, but Sanguan has also suffered a heavy blow, what do you want to do one by one?

This series of storms swept across the wilderness of Min Congda's mind, destroying everything to the ground, leaving only a wasteland.

Min Congda's famous quote from Shakespeare's play "Hamlet" came to mind:

“To be or not to be，that is a question。” (To live or to perish, that's the question.) ）
