Chapter 492: Seeing the Truth in Tribulation

Kanye West has mental illness that the public doesn't know much about.

Min Congda knew that when he saw a psychiatrist before, he had communicated with Kanye about his "condition".

Kanye West has bipolar disorder, which makes some of his behaviors uncontrolled and requires medication for treatment.

Now, West is also receiving psychological counseling at Mia's place, using some drugs to keep herself in a normal mood.

Seeing that Min Congda also came to "see a doctor", Kanye stopped him and asked quietly, "There are no reporters outside, right?" ”

Min Congda said: "No, don't worry, the paparazzi are not interested in me." ”

"Not man, you're on the radar of a lot of paparazzi in L.A., but you're low-key. I heard that you and Daddario officially broke up, didn't you? ”

"Sort of, we haven't spoken in a while... The longer you stay here, the more likely you are to be exposed. ”

Min Congda didn't want to communicate too much with Kanye, as soon as he was not sick, he talked too much with sick people, and he felt that he would really be sick.

Second, he was afraid that West would come up with some bad idea to make the Clippers money.

Unexpectedly, West pulled Min Congda and didn't let him go, so it was easy to meet a patient to communicate about his condition, how could he easily let him go.

"Smart, don't be so excited, you must not have taken any medicine, right? Take some medicine and you will be able to calm down. I have a plan for you. ”

As soon as he heard Kanye West's plan, Min Congda's head ached.

But he couldn't resist West's enthusiasm, Min Congda had no choice but to say, "Say, what's the plan?" I'm not going to make a joint album with you. ”

"Of course it has nothing to do with records, it has to do with sneakers."

As soon as he heard the sneakers, Min Congda wanted to leave, and this guy really had the idea of playing sporting goods.

What's the matter, don't think the Clippers' sports peripheral products are selling well enough? The Clippers aren't making enough money?

Under West's creation, the Clippers' jerseys, sneakers, and peripheral products are quite popular among young people.

Kanye wore a Clippers jersey to show his support for the team during several rap performances.

You must know that when most rappers choose basketball jerseys, they generally choose one of the three from the Knicks, Bulls, and Lakers.

It's rare for other jerseys to make it to the circle of choice for these black rappers.

And there is a high degree of overlap between rapper culture and basketball culture.

On the streets, basketball and music are like twins, inseparable.

A series of peripheral products created by West for the Clippers, such as jerseys, logos, necklaces, etc., doubled the Clippers' peripheral income and suddenly increased a lot of cash flow.

Min often has to worry about how to spend all this cash.

Peripheral products like this are too profitable, the cost is almost equal to nothing, and you can make as much money as you sell.

Adidas and the NBA league took a large part of it, and there were still a lot of accounts on the Clippers in the end!

This money, Min Congda either used it to give bonuses, or used it for security and other work, in short, he could spend as much as he could, and never let the Clippers have too much money on their accounts.

Now the team is easy to reach a point of breaking even, if there is new income in the account, then the team from the bank to buy the Great Western Forum loan of 30 million is a vain loan, because Rosser will definitely repay the loan in advance, then the debt is a yarn!

"Forget it, I don't know about the sneaker business, you better ask Gao Ming to cooperate with others."

"Smart, this is a great opportunity to further expand the Clippers' influence!"

The Clippers are influential enough to catch up with the Lakers.

Nowadays, young people in Los Angeles are all watching Clippers games and wearing Clippers jerseys.

And like the Lakers, wearing the Lakers' yellow and purple jerseys has been regarded as an antique.

Min Congda knows that young people are the future, and children in their teens will have spending power in a few years, and for a long time, they will become a stable consumer group of fans, providing various incomes for the team.

In the long run, this is obviously a potential jeopardy to the Clippers' bankruptcy plans.

Of course, Min Congda's plan is to drag the Clippers down with a huge fixed asset investment and a high luxury tax within three years, and this kind of small income around the area is not the point.

It's just that although the lice are small, they are uncomfortable after all.

Min Congda just shook his head, unwilling to cooperate with Kanye West on this sporting goods project.

Kanye West sighed and said, "Okay, let's be honest, it's not an investment plan, I'm out of money, I want to borrow some money to support my brand." ”

Since 2007, Kanye West has been trying to promote his brand "Coconut", but Nike has never bought it, believing that it is not in line with the strategic development direction of the company's basketball shoes.

When he was 10 years old, Kanye was in debt for his own brand promotion.

The $2.5 million design fee he received from the Clippers at that time can be said to solve his urgent need.

But for a fashion brand, $2.5 million is just a drop in the bucket, and it's enough to pay off some of Kanye's debts.

Kanye West has given so much for the coconut brand that he can't possibly give up.

It's just that now he is experiencing problems with funds again, a large amount of upfront investment cannot be effectively output, and the daily expenses are huge, and the income from music records alone is only enough to maintain the flow of funds.

And since his mother died, he has not been able to find true peace in his heart, and he has not been able to write great music.

Now that he has no money, he has to find a way to get some money from his friends to alleviate the financial problem.

Min Congda heard that he wanted to cooperate in development, he was not interested, and he did not want to participate in the matter of making money.

But as soon as he heard that you were going to borrow money, then he was very energetic, and he liked the meat bun beating the dog forever!

Min Congda, who had originally asked West to leave quickly, immediately grabbed him and said, "You want to borrow money?" That's a good thing, I like to lend money to my friends the most, you say, how much are you going to borrow? I will do my best to satisfy you! ”

Hearing Min Congda say this, Kanye West's tears are about to fall.

Sure enough, when you spend money and money, those friends are around you to please you, eat you, drink you, play with you.

When there is no money to borrow, many friends disappear without a trace.

And although those bigwigs in the circle are rich, Kanye Westra can't put this face.

He was afraid of being looked down upon and didn't want to borrow money from them.

Kanye West was afraid that Min Congda would not borrow money, so he just said that he would cooperate in the development.

Now pull down your face and say that you want to borrow money, I didn't expect Min Congda to be so active, this is a real brother!

"I... This time I need more, I want $10 million..."

"10 million!?"

"You can give as much as you can, and I'll borrow the rest."

"How can 10 million be enough, I'll lend you 20 million! I'll call Rosser later, and you can get Rosser the money!" ”

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