When Min Congda said that the Clippers were going to build a new arena, Anschutz was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Haha, Smart, you sit in my VIP box at Staples Center and tell me you want to build a new arena and steal business with me, right?"

The look on Anschutz's face was smiling, and if the Clippers did build a new arena, it would definitely have a big impact on Stamps.

"Besides, do you Clippers have that much money to build a new arena? Even the Lakers don't have this capital. ”

Min Congda had mentioned the intention of building a new stadium to Anschutz before, but Anschutz didn't take it to heart at that time, thinking that the little clippers still wanted to build a new stadium, do you think anyone can build a multi-sports stadium?

I didn't expect that so soon, Min Congda once again showed such intentions, and it could be seen that this kid was not joking, the Clippers wanted to buy the Great Western Forum, it must be to pave the way for the new arena.

Seeing that Min Congda didn't speak, Anschutz asked again: "Does Sterling know about such a big thing?" What did he think? ”

Sterling, the owner, is the equivalent of death for the Clippers, and for three years, the former control freak boss has almost nothing to do.

And the result of not caring about anything is that his assets have appreciated a lot, which shows that he is not right.

Min Congda said: "I am the representative of Boss Sterling, of course he knows all this. I would like to ask you if you are interested in making a stake in the new arena. ”

Saying this, Anschutz is a little tempted, as the number one sports tycoon in Los Angeles, he certainly hopes that everything good can be accounted for.

Anschutz looked at Ballmer beside him, who was eating the tart with his head down, and he was very satisfied with the tart here.

"Steve, what do you have in mind, do you want to get involved and have fun?"

Ballmer finished eating the tart in his hand, wiped his mouth, and said with a smile: "Me? I want to build a stadium and pay directly to build it, so why bother to participate in it. ”

Rich bigwigs are arrogant, participate in shares, what stocks do they participate in? That's what poor ghosts with no money do together.

Ballmer continued: "I'm more interested in buying a team, but unfortunately I haven't had the opportunity. After I retired, I wanted to buy a team and play as an owner. ”

Ballmer has mentioned this matter several times, and this time he mentioned it again, and it can be seen that he really likes basketball.

Min Congda thought to himself that he couldn't let you be the boss, you had to be the boss, and it would not be so easy to bankrupt the team.

Tens of billions of dollars, how can it be done? You have to burn it for a long, long time.

However, Ballmer then changed his words and said: "But if you cooperate with Smart, I am willing, I am optimistic about him." ”

Ballmer has always admired Min Congda and is bent on buying a team and then letting Min Congda be the general manager.

Min Congda thought to himself, I really thank you for your love, I can't turn over for the rest of my life if you are my boss.

Anshutz said: "Tell me about your plan, and what are your shortcomings now." Can you win the Great Western Forum? ”

Min Congda said: "I've talked to the people in the church about the same, but... However, there are some financial difficulties, and the team is short of $5 million. ”

Hearing Min Congda say that there was a difference of 5 million, Ballmer said briskly: "5 million is no problem, I can pay you directly, just talk to me when you want." ”

$5 million is a drizzle for Ballmer, and borrowing that money is, of course, a matter of words.

"I have one condition, though."

Ballmer said as he ate the last tart.

At this time, the honest, peasant-like temperament on his face disappeared in an instant.

Instead, there is a sense of cunning.

After all, he is the CEO of Microsoft, a super-rich man, how can he be really honest.

And Min Congda was very happy when he heard that there were still conditions, and it was great to have conditions.

The more demanding this condition, the better, and the more demanding it is, the more beneficial it is for Min Congda to complete the task.

"You say, whatever conditions I can agree to, I will agree."

Ballmer said: "I hope the Clippers will use part of the equity as a pledge so that I can give the 5 million." ”

It's normal to ask for collateral for large loans, and Ballmer wants equity pledges, apparently coveting ownership of the Clippers.

Of course, he wants to buy the Clippers outright, but NBA teams aren't something you can buy if you have money.

Since you can't buy it for the time being, it's better to be a small shareholder first, blend into this circle, and wait for the opportunity.

Obtaining the Clippers' equity pledge is the first step to buying the team, and if the Clippers don't want to pay back the 5 million in the future, just exchange the equity directly.

Min Congda hesitated, not because he couldn't accept this condition, but because he wanted to go through Sterling's boss for the equity pledge, and he couldn't decide as a general manager.

So, Min Congda said: "I'll call Mr. Sterling and ask if this condition is acceptable." ”

Then Min Congda called Sterling.

Sterling has had a good life since he became a puppet.

He doesn't have to worry about taking care of the team's assets, and the people below have done a good job and increased in value.

Traveling all year round, investing in real estate, tourism and other industries, life is much more comfortable than being a team owner in the past.

As recently as January, he was sunbathing in Australia in the Southern Hemisphere, and it was still daytime in Australia.

After receiving Min Congda's call, he said before he could hear a few words: "Everything is arranged by you, you can say anything!" I will fax and sign! ”

With Sterling's consent, Min Congda and Ballmer reached a verbal agreement to take the 5 million.

At the same time, Anschutz and Ballmer have both expressed their willingness to support the Clippers in building a new arena, and they will contribute to the Clippers to help finance the construction of the house.

Min Congda's "Afang Palace Project" has taken an important step, and he feels very comfortable when he thinks about it.

Think of the Nets' Barclays Center, which proposed a plan in 2004 and ran aground in 2009 because of the financial crisis.

The project was restarted in 2010 and is expected to be completed by 2012 and can be officially opened to the public, costing more than $1 billion.

The arena led directly to the Nets' bankruptcy and change of ownership, which was bought by Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov.

According to Min Congda's idea, the Clippers' new arena does not have a $1.5 billion non-planner.

When the time comes, you must not hire any Chinese construction company, you must find a local one, hire local workers, and let them slowly grind foreign workers.

A super arena directly dragged the Clippers financially down, and they were in debt, and no matter how good the team's results were, it was useless.

At that point, the Clippers will go bankrupt, the team will change hands, and his mission will be accomplished.

When the time comes, you can get hundreds of millions of dollars in dividend assets, and you can really go to the peak of life!

Such an idea has not been erased since Min Congda took over this task on the first day.

"Hey, I'm really a person who doesn't forget my original intention! As long as you have a dream, you will definitely be able to achieve it, come on! ”

Min Congda encouraged himself, and at this time, the game between the Clippers and the Thunder was about to begin.

Some people died, but not completely......
