When Ida hurriedly entered the office one morning in March and told Min Congda that "something happened to the Huawei center", Min Congda had only one thought in his heart:

"I've finally waited for this day!"

A big project like the Huawei Center, if there is no problem, I am really sorry for its cost of more than one billion yuan and the huge and advanced design scale.

From the beginning of the foundation, design, and construction, the Huawei Center has encountered many problems, which is inevitable for such a large project.

Previously, because the stadium was too large, there was a lot of difficulty in construction, which made the early progress of the center quite slow.

Even early on, the problem of partial structural redesign began to occur, which caused the construction party quite a headache.

However, Min Congda showed outstanding patience and an extremely generous and open-minded attitude in the process of project construction.

Anyway, you do it slowly, you get it slowly, the money must be enough, and the construction period is definitely not in a hurry.

In keeping with the promise to district councillors, the project also recruited a large number of black workers in the Inglewood area to participate in the construction of the periphery.

These old blacks highlight a "meticulous" in doing things, and take their time in everything, so it is possible to do such a big project for two or three years, or even three or five years.

In the past few years, haven't you had a job? Don't you have to worry about your livelihood?

And the Clippers pay quite well, one or two points higher than the average construction site.

Therefore, everyone was willing to work on this project, and for a while, this project really led to a small economic prosperity in the community.

Of course, the pressure on the Clippers is quite high, and Rosser is dancing on the tip of a knife as the financial director.

Since the groundbreaking of the Huawei Center, he has basically not paid attention to the team's basketball affairs, and has focused all his energy on the engineering project and the team's financial flow.

He basically used what he had learned all his life, and he managed the financial planning and cash flow of the entire team and the project by himself, which required both spending money and saving money.

I thought of ways to introduce funds from different channels to find a financial balance point - the billions of funds raised for the construction of the stadium before felt that it was not enough.

Min Congda is bent on sabotage, and although he is from a bank, his financial ability is far worse than that of a team executive like Rosser.

For a big project, funding is the blood that drives it forward, so Min Congda is the nominal leader, and Rosser is the real person in charge.

Relying on the Clippers' good cash flow this year and the fame effect brought by the championship bonus to attract many investors, Rosser danced very well.

But the problem happened without warning, and the construction party suddenly went on strike on March 7, and the engineers, technicians, and construction workers stopped working.

Rosser rushed to the scene as soon as he received the news, and asked his subordinates not to report to Smart and the boss for the time being, he thought he could handle it.

As a result, the construction party unsurprisingly put forward a very excessive request: to add money.

The reason for the construction party is very sufficient, that is, the construction is too difficult and the construction period is too tight.

Rosser, of course, was angry about this, the construction was difficult, and you have been given time to change and adjust, and the construction period is ...... This project has just begun, and you feel that the deadline is tight?

Besides, because of Min Congda's requirements, the Clippers basically don't rush the construction period, you just have to do a good job.

In the face of this rude request, Rosser naturally argued with reason, and they also signed a contract between them, so they would meet in court.

However, the construction party seems not afraid to meet the Clippers in court, and they believe that it will be difficult for the Clippers to find a suitable construction party in a short time.

Moreover, the investment in this project is very large, and the Clippers' capital chain is already running at the limit, and it will definitely be unbearable if you toss it from scratch.

The contract between the two parties was originally agreed on issues such as breach of contract and price change, and it was not completely unreasonable for the construction party to increase the money.

If a lawsuit really starts, the Clippers may be thankless.

Faced with such a situation, Rosser, of course, could not be responsible.

After three days of concealment, Rosser finally informs his boss Shelly first, and then asks Ida to inform Min Congda.

Rosser himself continued to negotiate with the construction party, and he would rather quarrel with the construction party than tell Min Congda about it in person.

He knew that this new arena was the brainchild of Manager Smart, and that he must build a basketball monument belonging to the Clippers with his reputation and amazing mobility.

If he hadn't done this well, he would have felt very guilty in his heart, and he was also very afraid of facing Min Congda's sharp eyes.

It's been more than three years since Min Congda came to the Clippers, and three years is long enough that everyone has a huge sense of awe for him.

This person makes decisions and never misses, and this person makes decisions and never hesitates.

Most importantly, he led the Clippers to a championship and achieved an incredible miracle.

Rosser, who has been in the Clippers for many years, admires and respects Min Congda from the bottom of his heart.

Because Rosser is in charge of finance, the whole team's money has to go out of his hands.

Min Congda, as a single-handed figure, has not taken a penny from the team for more than three years!

Although he used the team's money to build a good canteen and went to the canteen every day to eat, what is this?

In the NBA, it's impossible to run a team worth hundreds of millions of dollars at the level of a general manager without taking advantage of it.

Not to mention the general manager, an executive in the team, but with some means, he can collect millions or even tens of millions of dollars a year.

As far as Rotherer knows, a team like the Kings, which has been in decline for many years, has several internal moths.

For more than three years, Kesmart is really as clean as water and as cheap as a mirror, and he regards money as dung, and in order to speak up for the team, he has paid millions of fines in more than three years.

To this day, he still lives in an apartment near Chinatown, has no real estate, a car belongs to the team, no family, and no children.

My biggest hobby is fishing, eating pizza, and then focusing on the team!

How could Rosser, who had such a great personality, not be impressed by him.

He did not allow the project to come to a standstill, and on the morning of the 11th, he made an appointment with the manager and boss of the construction company to meet together, hoping to have a good discussion on this issue.

It's best to come up with a more satisfying plan before Shelly Sterling and Smart make a move.

However, if Rosser could have done it, or if the construction party had been willing to talk to him, things would not have come to this point, and he would not have had to report the situation upwards.

There was no doubt that the negotiations were inconclusive, and the other side was quite tough.

They seem to see that the Clippers are lax internally and have lax requirements on the cost side, so they want to make another profit.

In the United States, doing this kind of big project often pays attention to not opening for three years, and opening for three years.

After all, the United States has long passed the era of large infrastructure, and such major public facilities projects are rare fat.

If they don't take a few bites of meat, how can they give up?

Rosser was a bit of a loner, and although he did a lot of work as a paster, he was never the leader of the project.

Even if some kind of agreement is to be reached, Rosser has no final say, and to put it bluntly, he has no negotiating capital.

When Rosser was about to explain the situation to Min Congda in person, his cell phone rang, and it was Min Congda calling.

Rosser answered the phone, he was very nervous, and just when he opened his mouth to explain to Min Congda, Min Congda interrupted him and asked directly, "Rosser, where are you now?" Are you with someone from AMF? ”

AMF is the general construction party of the stadium construction, of course, there are many cooperative and outsourcing units under them, large and small.

It's a big project, but it has to feed a lot of people and give a lot of people a bite to eat.

"Yes, that's right, I just talked to them..."

Before Rosser could finish speaking, Min Congda interrupted him again and said, "Rosser, is there water in front of you now?" Or, drinks, coffee, any liquid, you can. ”

Rosser was stunned for a moment, looked around, and said, "Yes... There was a cup of coffee, which I didn't finish and was already cold...... What's wrong, Mr. Smart. ”

"Very well, Rosser, now take this cup of coffee and pour it over the head of the head of the AMF."

"What? What do you say? ”

I said, picking up the cold cup of coffee and pouring it over the head of the head of the AMF. Actually, I want you to go and heat it up first, but I'm afraid they'll run away. Hurry up, pick it up. ”

Rosser swallowed, to be honest, it was the first time in his life that he had heard such a request.

If someone else had said that, he would never have done it and would have hung up the phone.

The person who could make him do that was Smart, and he had no other choice now.

He can only be obedient.

So, Rosser jerked over to the table, picked up the cup of coffee that had just been cooled down, and poured it on the head of Solhan, the head of the AMF.

His head was a little bald, and the coffee ran down his face and neck into his clothes, but fortunately the coffee was cold, otherwise it would have burned him half to death.

Even so, Rosser's heart ached when he saw Solhan's angry and embarrassed look.

He knew that in this way, the two sides would undoubtedly tear their faces, and a termination lawsuit seemed inevitable.

However, Rosser knew that Mr. Smart must have a way, he must have thought of some good idea, and he must have left a back hand to break with AMF so boldly!

Rosser was only half right, and his move did break the Clippers-AMF partnership.

Although AMF's reputation in the industry will be damaged as a result, they will do so for the sake of high payouts and more lucrative returns.

They thought the Clippers would give in, but they didn't expect that Smart, who had always been easy to talk and didn't care about anything, would suddenly be so tough.

The next day, Min Congda held a press conference to announce the termination of cooperation with AMF and the search for other construction developers.

Where do they understand Min Congda's mind, such a good opportunity to delay the construction period and increase the construction cost, how could Min Congda miss it?

Therefore, Rosser's other half of the idea is absolutely wrong, Min Congda not only has no backhand, but even asked Rother to pour coffee on the other party's head, which is a bad move that he temporarily came up with to intensify the conflict.

Alternative? Reserve? The second option? Plan B?

It doesn't exist, it's all fooling people, fooling Shelly Sterling's investors.

When the project could not be carried out, the flow of funds was trapped, and all parties began to be anxious, Min Congda knew that the fire planned by Abang Palace was about to burn!

He's been planning for so long, and he's been waiting for today! AMF, a greedy company with a poor moral bottom line, delivered a beautiful assist.

When Min Congda chose them, he took a fancy to the company's casual management and not particularly good reputation.

And the reason why it was unanimously agreed to make them responsible is that their construction plan is really beautiful.

Who knows, it's just talk on paper, and there are constant problems in the middle, and finally a mine explosion came, which made Min Congda satisfied.

In the next few days, Min Congda waited for this matter to ferment, and he didn't want to care about it anyway.

Let Xie Li and them go in a hurry when the time comes, Min Congda is a big deal to pat his ass and say it's none of my business, and I haven't taken an extra penny from you?

He began to settle down and watch the Clippers' games in March and April, and he didn't know if he didn't see it, and the Clippers were called ferocious in March.

After back-to-back defeats to the Cavaliers and Thunder, the Clippers showed off their muscles to the league.

Many teams in the league who have always despised the defending champions are feeling the pressure.

On March 13, the Clippers defeated the Grizzlies at 107-100 at home, with a seven-point advantage.

It was also a game where the difference between the two teams could not be shown.

Griffin continues the curse he had in Los Angeles: the stats are good, but the team always loses.

Since missing out on that title in 2009, Griffin has won just one game against the Clippers in Los Angeles and the others have been a narrow loss.

He had 27 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists tonight, a very well-rounded performance.

But there is absolutely no ability to stop the Clippers from taking the victory.

In the post-game summary, the Grizzlies, from the coaching staff to the players, felt that there was nothing to say.

I can't beat it, I really can't beat it.

If the Grizzlies are still the weak team before, forget it, but they are obviously an important force in the west.

The position has been hovering in the middle of the table, and it is only one or two wins away from the top half.

The Grizzlies have already begun to consider whether to fall to sixth place and avoid a meeting with the Clippers in the semifinals.

Then, the Clippers rested for three days to face the New York Knicks on the 17th.

The Knicks, like the Clippers, were sharp at the start of the season and struggled with various problems in the middle of the season.

The Knicks' biggest problem is that their core Stoudemire Jr. won't be available for the season.

The combination of Anthony + Stoudemire Jr. has never shown its power.

The Clippers do not have such a problem, 97-80 at home, and the huge advantage of 17 points crushed the Knicks.

Suppressing the Knicks' scoring to 80 points is enough to see that the Clippers are really good defensively now.

Subsequently, the Clippers slashed the Kings, 76ers, Nets, Mavericks and other teams in a row, starting a wave of winning streak again.

Because of the engineering problems, Min Congda's mood was much calmer when he watched the game, and he was not angry when the Clippers won, and even followed everyone to be happy.

In the name of beauty, enjoy with the people!

The Clippers' winning streak stretched from March to April, including a four-game winning streak, and they went to the Texas Triangle and walked away.

Playing the Mavericks, Rockets, and Spurs in the palm of their hands, two of them were quite thrilling wins, but they didn't really give the opponent a chance.

The Clippers' control of the game has gradually entered a very high level.

Min Congda thinks that his understanding of everything is under his control.

In April, Min Congda suddenly found that the Huawei Center project seemed to be moving again.

This is terrible, does someone take over? No, why didn't I get the news?

He immediately called Rosser and asked him to come to the office to explain the situation.

When Rosser saw Min Congda, he praised him: "Mr. Smart, I knew that you had a backhand, and now everything is normal, even better than before..."

"Hey, wait, wait, what's all right? Or even better? What happened? ”

"Uh... Don't you know? Oh, by the way, you were in Texas the other day, and Shelly said don't disturb your mood to watch the game, and the boss said you must know about it. ”

"What's the matter? What's going on? ”

"Uh... That is, a construction team from China took over the project, which was introduced by our title sponsor Huawei. They said they came here for you, Mr. Smart, and for the development of the American market, as well as the reputation of China's speed..."

Min Congda suddenly felt a thud in his brain, what's the situation? Why did I watch the ball for two weeks, how did this project come back to life?

The lawsuit is not fought? There are no disputes over the contract? Don't the person who takes the offer talk about the situation? And also...

Chinese speed?

How terrible this thing is in the 21st century, Min Congda knows it in his heart.

After all, he is Chinese, but how can he be hooked together?

Min Congda collapsed in his chair like a deflated ball.

"Destiny... It's really not me..."
