Min Congda opened the gray box, and it was still a watch.

But not the $500,000 Patek Philippe from before, but an ordinary Omega.

Omega is a brand that ordinary people can afford, and looking at this style and packaging, it is estimated that it can be done for a few thousand dollars.

Daddario said, "Don't you think that watch is too expensive?" I also thought it was too expensive, so I returned Patek Philippe and bought a piece of Omega, hoping you would like it. ”

Min Congda looked at his watch, as well as D'Addario's sincere lake-green eyes, and felt both moved and ashamed in his heart.

I was reluctant to accept Patek Philippe, and to put it bluntly, I still felt inferior, and felt that my income was not worthy of this valuable table nobleman.

But in reality? I, Min Congdagui, am the president and general manager of the Clippers, and I will soon complete the bankruptcy mission of the Clippers, earn $360 million, and become a wealthy man.

Look at the team's operation this summer, it's perfect, and the $1,200 loss salary in summer league has proven that he's on the right path.

Now that Daddario is giving him a 500,000 watch, wouldn't it be okay to give her a 5 million car in the future?

What are you afraid of? 5 million is not a piece of cake.

Thinking of 5 million, the Clippers' profit of 5 million last season pressed on Min Congda's heart.

He kissed Daddario, and the two reconciled, wearing the watch on his wrist, which was quite a match.

Looking at these thousands of dollars of watches, Min Congda thought to himself: "Actually, what's wrong with a 500,000 watch?" You decrepit cub, don't want 500,000, you have to ask for 5,000 yuan. If only I could spend the money of the Clippers and buy a 5 million watch. Something flashy like this can be spent without generating much profit. ”

"Huh? Flashy things, what flashy things does the team have, can it be the same as buying a watch, just spending money, no profit? ”

The watch suddenly gave Min Congda some inspiration.

In the past, watches were designed to accurately calculate time, and Swiss craftsmen have taken the mechanical craftsmanship to the extreme.

However, with the advent of more sophisticated timekeeping tools such as electronic quartz watches and atomic clocks, a watch of a few dollars is much more accurate than that of tens of thousands of watches, and the practical value of mechanical watches has declined sharply.

Now that everyone has a mobile phone, the watch is even more useless, and has become a pure decoration and luxury.

But what can be useless, flashy for a team?

Seeing that Min Congda was preoccupied, Daddario hugged him and asked him what he was thinking.

Min Congda voiced his doubts, and Daddario wondered: "Why does the team need flashy things? ”

"Uh... I wish the Clippers could be a little cooler. ”

"Cooler?"

"Forget it, I don't want to. Come with me tomorrow to the award ceremony, come, let's try on clothes together. Now, if you want to try on clothes, you must take them off first, right? ”

"Nope! I don't want to accompany you, who am I, and I want to accompany you to the award ceremony? ”

"Of course you are my girlfriend, and I sincerely invite you to accompany me to the ceremony of the JFK Best Citizen Award."

"You admit I'm your girlfriend?"

"Yes. Of course, you can not admit that I am your boyfriend, so that I can live happily for a while..."

"Don't you think about it!"

Daddario directly knocked Min Congda down, and she didn't know why she was so fascinated by such a seemingly ordinary person.

Five minutes after driving away, she regretted it, and immediately went to return Patek Philippe, replaced it with an Omega, and came to the hotel to find Min Congda.

Why exactly? Daddario thought that maybe because she had seen too many flashy things, she found a lot of sincere and down-to-earth qualities in Smart, which made her feel at ease and made her feel safe enough.

Min Congda is such a person who makes people feel safe.

The next day, the two attended the JFK Best Citizen Award ceremony together.

In the press conference hall, Min Congda received the trophy from Stern.

"We recognize Smart Min for his contribution to youth basketball in Africa and other developing countries," Stern said. ”

Min Congda was smiling, but actually very nervous, for fear that Stern would say: Mr. Smart has decided to take the lead in donating another amount of money.

When he saw Adam Silva walking over with a smile on his face, his whole facial expression stiffened.

Silva, don't come here! What do you want!

Fortunately, Silva did not ask Min Congda to donate money, but gave him a commemorative book.

It is printed with photos and descriptions of the activities of the African Youth Basketball Development Foundation in Cameroon.

In the photo album, Min Congda saw the Cameroonian young man who came to the Clippers to watch the game: Siakam.

This kid is only 15 years old, he can already dunk, this African kid is talented.

Seeing that the $50,000 he donated could take the lead in making such a contribution, Min Congda thought to himself forgive you, Silva.

Unexpectedly, Silva brought another piece of good news to Min Congda, real good news.

"By the way, Smart, there is a $5,000 royalty that will be sent to your account, you remember to check it."

"Royalties? What royalties? ”

Silva pointed to a logo on the cover of the commemorative book and said, "The royalties for the design of the Foundation logo." ”

The logo of this African Youth Basketball Development Fund is a basketball with several handprints on it, symbolizing the help of many people.

The prototype of this LOGO is that at the establishment ceremony, Min Congda and several other founders dipped their hands in ink and printed on the basketball pattern.

This LOGO is the silhouette of that pattern, and the size and shape of the hands are the reproductions of several people's hands, so several people have copyright fees.

In the area of copyright, the United States does have very complete legislation, even if it is a silhouette, even if it is an ordinary photo, the copyright fee must be paid.

Like the classic blue sky and grass wallpaper on the windows XP desktop, it is not a composite but a real photo.

In order to use it as the default wallpaper, Microsoft spent $2 million to buy the rights to this photo.

Because the foundation is a non-profit organization, the copyright fee is not so high, and the $5,000 is equivalent to the design fee.

Min Congda, who donated 50,000 yuan, didn't expect to be able to recover 5,000 yuan, which is really unexpected.

In a much better mood, he shared the matter with Daddario, who listened and said, "Smart, I know that the basketball team has something flashy that can make the team look cooler." ”

"What?"

"Of course, it's your team's logo, the NBA team's logo is really fancy, and it changes often."

Daddario's words made Min Congda wake up like a dream, yes, the team LOGO!

Why didn't he think of such a good place to spend money? The 5 million has fallen!
