After making a phone call, Olser couldn't believe that the young man in front of him, who looked to be in his early 20s, was the person he was working with in China.

"Hello, Mr. Olsie, I'm Fan Chen, you can call me Leon."

Fan Chen introduced himself to Olser in very fluent and standard English.

Leon's English name was given to him by Min Congda, and his full name is Fox Leon.

said that he hoped that Fan Chen could be as cunning as a fox and as brave as a lion.

Fan Chen was speechless, what the hell is this name, the child's English level.

But it's not surprising to think about it, as the general manager of the dignified Clippers, he can't write English well.

It's not uncommon to have a zoo name like this.

Fan Chen didn't care, so he used this name.

Olsie shook hands with Fan Chen, then looked at the banner in the airport hall and the reception staff.

He asked, "Where do you work?" Are these all people from your company? ”

Fan Chen said: "On behalf of Horizon Fund, these are all employees of Horizon. ”

"Horizon Fund? Fund？ Do you specialize in basketball? ”

"No, this is a public fund, specializing in financial investment."

"Financial investment? Oh no, no, no, there must be a mistake, we are here to set up a basketball fund, not for investment. ”

"I know, but you need to get your money into China, you have to have channels, right? China imposes foreign exchange controls, and ordinary channels cannot bring in so many dollars. We have dedicated channels that can help set up a dedicated fund. ”

When Fan Chen said this, Olsie felt that it made sense.

This time, the Clippers brought $8 million to China, but in China you can't spend dollars directly.

There must be a special financial institution to keep and help use the money.

According to Mr. Smart's plan, 8 million is only a year's expense.

Later, 8 million will be contributed every year to maintain the work of the foundation in China.

800 is a lot less, but it's not too much.

In the collective bargaining agreement, the amount of a regular contract is not enough for the team to sign an All-Star.

The Clippers are in good financial shape this year, and the investment project has paid off.

The $10 million documentary was funded by YouTube for $30 million.

Of the 8 million funds, 6 million are from YouTube.

Therefore, this talent development foundation of the Clippers should be prefixed with YouTube and advertising.

and the team's box office is even more gratifying, with many games exceeding one million at the box office in the second half of the season.

The season grossed $50 million, surpassing the 2006 Clippers' single-season box office record.

After the playoffs, a large number of fans have already started to renew their season tickets for the next season.

With this box office result, the Clippers have the confidence to throw money overseas.

However, Olchet always felt that at the team's work summary meeting, Mr. Smart was not satisfied with the team's results last season, and his face was gloomy.

made the originally joyful summary meeting, and everyone was very nervous.

Unconsciously tighten the clockwork, and next season will continue to work hard.

Under the leadership of Fan Chen, Olsie and his entourage were picked up by special car to stay at the hotel in downtown SH.

Olsie first reported his safety to his family, and then contacted Min Congda by phone to report his work.

"Hi Mr. Smart, I've been to Shanghai and met with Leon."

"Leon? Who is Leon? ”

"Uh... It's that young man, very young, Fox Leon. ”

"Oh oh oh, Leon, I see, how is his reception."

It's late at night in Los Angeles, and Min Congda is indulging himself in a nightclub in Santa Monica Beckham.

As soon as he heard the name Leon, he didn't react, and he turned his mind to remember that it was the English name he gave Fan Chen.

He just said it casually, who knew that kid was still serious.

This so-called basketball development fund, Min Congda didn't take it seriously.

His goal is to give the sponsorship fee of YouTube and the cash of the team to Hoho.

At the end of the season, the system settled the team's valuation, and as a result, the Clippers' valuation increased to $360 million!

Over the course of one season, $60 million in asset appraisals was added.

The bad news is that it's getting harder for the Clippers to break the bank.

There are two good news: First, the system issued a valuation dividend of $6,000 to Min Congda, which just made up for the money deducted after winning two games in the playoffs.

Second, the increase in valuation to $360 million means that if the Clippers go bankrupt and Min Congda's mission is completed, he will be rewarded with $360 million.

Such a mixed situation made Min Congda only let go of the mind of "destroying the Clippers in three months" and decided to have a protracted war with the Clippers.

The "Three Treasures Plan" is an important part of the protracted war, with $8 million a year.

This does not include travel expenses for staff members, as well as additional allowances and grants.

In the future, if you want to bring some young players to the United States to participate in training camps, all the expenses will also be paid extra.

At full cost, more than $10 million was consumed in a year.

Then Min Congda gave Jordan Peel and Michael Key another $10 million for filming.

The new season has not even started, and $20 million has already been spent, and Rosser is starting to have financial headaches again.

"This young man is very good, all the arrangements are in place, we will have a meeting in the evening to plan the establishment and future operation of the fund, and I will report to you in real time on the specific situation......

"No, no, no! You don't have to report to me, I'll put you in charge of this. You're in charge of laying the groundwork for the Foundation, and you're going to make sure you spend $8 million a year on the ball, you know? If I find out you're cutting corners and fooling around to save money, I won't let you go. ”

"Okay, I understand Smart, and I'm going to do this work seriously. Oh yes, Mr. Smart, how do you arrange the draft for the new season, you need me to provide..."

"No, no, no! I'll take care of the draft myself, you don't have to worry. ”

"Okay, Smart is in charge, I have nothing to worry about."

After the draw is over, the teams in the lottery area will be engaged in the intense rookie tryout.

In the past, the Clippers were in charge of Olshea, but now he is being driven to China by Min Congda.

Olchea was accompanied by several veteran scouts, and there aren't many drafters on the Clippers' side right now.

Min Congda has decided that he will personally participate in the draft of the new season, and he must choose a parallel commodity that meets his standards.

But what are his selection criteria? Min Congda himself is still pondering.

"The system stipulates that you can't blindly pick people who fall out of the lotto area and are obviously too bad."

"How should I pick the rest of the group?"

"First of all, we must insist on choosing the No. 3 position."

"And then? Forget it, why don't you give these people an interview at that time, and it will be over according to the situation of the interview? ”

"A player like Curry, with strong willpower and a strong character, must not be wanted."

Min Congda thought to himself, the draft is actually looking for a job, and you can't interview when looking for a job.

Teams are keen to try out and test their players' skills.

Min Congda believes that the heart and will of the players are equally important.

Even more crucial factors in a player's development path.

So, he decided to give an interview to newcomers who wanted to play for the Clippers.

to decide who the No. 9 pick in the 2010 draft will be thrown to.

For the idea of such a genius as himself, Min Congda felt very good.

So at night, he rewarded himself with the opportunity to learn martial arts with the two heroines.
