Chapter 441: What's the Matter (Part 2)
After a lot of tossing and turning in the position of head coach, Min Congda felt that his path to swing was a little off.
Now that the coaching position is given to Tyronn Lue, a reassuring figure who reassures him, he can refocus his energy on investing and indebtedness.
Compared with the "meager" income of $2,000 from losing a game, the hundreds of millions of dividends that bankrupted the Clippers are much more attractive.
Some of the previous small investments, small fights, and success by mistake, are just a small stumbling block on the road to success in Min Congda's view.
His "Afang Palace Plan", which can really destroy the Clippers, has begun to kick in.
From that point of view, it's important for the Clippers to maintain a decent record.
First, after raising the market value, the Clippers can have better credit, leverage more funds, increase the debt ratio, and increase financial risks.
Second, the value of these players has doubled, and the top salary one after another in the future, the team's luxury tax will definitely explode, and it will become a cash flow eater.
Combining the two, the Clippers' asset situation is absolutely dangerous, and it will definitely be precarious when the time comes.
As long as the Clippers don't win the championship, even if they keep playing in the West, it will be harmless for Min Congda to win a few more games.
In the NBA, a team with locked salary space and an exploding luxury tax is a failure if it doesn't win a championship.
Like European football, clubs at different levels can have different goals and a large number of titles.
League titles, Champions League, Europa League, as well as various domestic cups, continental leagues, etc., there are many paths to success.
Unlike the NBA and the European Football League, the championship is the only glory, the winner takes all, and even the runner-up is known as the biggest loser.
The Detroit Pistons are a great example of this, and they never missed the division finals from '03 to '08.
But they only won the championship in '04, and the finals in '05, '06, '07, and '08 were all the stepping stones in the divisional finals. 33
Then, in the midst of the financial crisis, the Pistons were on the verge of bankruptcy and were eventually sold at the end of last season.
Imagine that if the Pistons can reach the Finals and win even one championship in the three seasons of 06-08, the team will not decline so quickly.
Because you win the championship, the team has enough popularity and commercial value, and you don't have to worry about selling tickets, and you don't have to worry about having no organization to lend you money to continue your life.
If you can't win the championship, even if the Pistons Five Tigers are in the Megatron League, in the end you will just be someone else's wedding dress and become a background board.
Who would want to invest in a backdrop, and you're not Tim Duncan.
So, Min Congda is now firmly established in his new pendulum thinking.
No longer make a small fuss in investment, if you want to play, you can play big, and go to infrastructure!
The team is no longer looking for a lot of losses, it's almost there.
As long as you don't win the championship, everything will be easy, and it won't be good to enter the West finals last year anyway.
Besides, look at the level of Tyronn Lue in the first game, where can he win the championship?
I wonder if he still has to fight with Cole in the team, there is no possibility of winning the championship at all!
As a result, Min Congda authorized Rosser at the meeting to lead the acquisition of the Great Western Forum Arena.
Initial contact with the owner of the Great Western Forum can begin.
"If there are any trends or changes, they should be reported to me in a timely manner, which will be our key focus at the moment."
"By the way, Olxie, has Fan Chen contacted you? He told me earlier that he had picked a talented young player and wanted to send it to Los Angeles to try. Now it's time for a holiday in China, and it's time to come too. ”
In addition to the "Afang Palace Plan", the "Three Treasures Plan", a gold-swallowing beast, will steadily swallow a lot of money every year.
If there is no improvement in three years, Min Congda may not be able to continue to support the project.
Now it is just said that a seedling was found and asked him to come to Los Angeles for a walk, which should be used as a demonstration of results and an explanation to everyone.
Anyway, Min Congda doesn't believe that any particularly great young players can be selected, and the defender in his early 180s will definitely not be Yao Ming.
It's a waste of money to do some projects with many units, but you always have to show some results.
As for the money? Of course, it was wasted when working on projects.
After waiting for a long time, people naturally forgot about this project.
No one cares where the money goes.
Now this so-called genius seedling is the result of a plan, and it will be brought to Los Angeles to be displayed.
Olsie nodded and said, "Fan Chen has contacted me and said that this child will arrive the day after tomorrow." Mr. Smart, what do you want to do? ”
The day after tomorrow? Min Congda thought for a while and said, "First arrange the food and housing problems, and leave this to Ada." Since it happens to be the day after tomorrow, let him watch a game at the Stamp Center. Arrange for him to try out again, and give him an evaluation according to the level of the NBA. By the way, Riccelle, you can make a report when the time comes, and it will be simple, it can be regarded as adding a little heat to the team. Oh, and if you have any questions about the itinerary or security, you can contact Sloane and ask him to send someone to follow this kid. Now that he's here, let him have fun. ”
Min Congda thought to himself, after all, this little fellow is from his hometown, and he still has to be entertained.
To be honest, Min Congda is not particularly interested in this child, and it would be OK to give him a chance to come to the United States to play and add a little special experience.
As for what to play in the NBA, basketball dreams, after he comes, he will feel the gap between reality and dreams.
After this incident was revealed, Min Congda asked, "Do you have anything else to report?" If nothing happens, that's all for today's meeting. ”
Riccelle said, "Mr. Smart! I have something to report to you. ”
"It's about the Twitter account NBA-Batman, and now I'm fully investigating the information behind this account, and we already have some clues."
Riccelle is kind of on par with the NBA-Batman account.
Because the NBA-Batman's ship black characteristics are becoming more and more obvious.
During Min Congda's tenure as coach, after each game, NBA-Batman had to expose "the chaotic management within the Clippers, the blind command of the coaching staff, and the unpopular 15-man rotation." "Winning is pure luck, it's up to the players to play." "There was discontent within the coaching staff, and many wanted to replace Smart......
This series of remarks caused a lot of headaches for Riccelle, and as a media director, he chose to play against NBA-Batman on the Internet.
Retweeting NBA-Batman's tweets and then refuting the rumors didn't work well.
Because of his forwarding and response, there is a feeling that there is no silver three hundred taels here.
Now, like the NBA league office, he is eager to find the actual controller behind the account.
He wants to find this person who is always tweeting and slandering Mr. Smart, and connect with him!
Min Congda listened to Riccelle's words, coughed lightly, and said, "Do you have any clues?" ”
"The IP address of this account has appeared in China before, and it has appeared many times. So we highly suspect that this account is controlled by the Chinese behind it. This would also explain why this account is always discrediting the Clippers, and this person is likely to have a grudge against you, Mr. Smart! Mr. Smart, think about it, have you offended anyone in China in the past? ”
Min Congda said: "People like me, there are so many people who have offended, and I can't finish the investigation." In short, you can follow up on this matter, and you don't have to worry about funding. If you want to go on a business trip to China, look for Fan Chen. ”
Riccelle nodded, getting the response he wanted, funding, it was important.
As for who is behind the account, what does it matter, even if this person is sitting in front of him?
Some people died, but not completely......
