Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, one of the city's most expensive commercial office districts, 333 is a 33-story commercial office building.

In the '70s, the 20-storey area of the building was owned by Jerry Buss, the current owner of the Lakers, and Donald Sterling, the owner of the Clippers.

In 1979, Jerry Buss sold his property in the building to Raheem Sterling for $67.5 million to buy the Los Angeles Lakers.

More than a decade later, the building has been fully owned by Stirling.

Stirling's office, law firm, and real estate company headquarters are all here.

He loved to sit in this building, which is a testament to his brilliance.

Especially proving that he is better than Jerry Buss!

At that time, he watched Jerry Buss invest eighty percent of his net worth in buying an NBA team, and at that time the NBA was still synonymous with negative images such as brawls, illegal drugs, and sexual violence, and he was happy to see Jerry Buss's tragic ending.

As a result, I didn't expect Jerry Buss's more than 60 million US dollars to become 150 million US dollars less than a year after it was spent, and the Lakers selected Magic, and they won the championship that season, and their market value skyrocketed, more than doubling.

At Jerry Buss' suggestion, Sterling also rushed to buy a team, buying the San Diego Clippers for $12.5 million in 1981 and moving to Los Angeles in 1984.

As a result, more than ten years have passed, and after the Lakers won the championship this year, their market value has regained more than 500 million US dollars, becoming one of the only two teams in the NBA with a market value of more than 500 million US dollars.

After the Lakers reached the Finals in 1991, their market value had exceeded 500 million US dollars, but the Magic contracted AIDS and retired on the spot, and the Lakers were implicated, and their market value plummeted by 200 million overnight.

The Clippers currently have a market value of 180 million US dollars, which is less than the 200 million market value after the Lakers won the championship in 1982 and got the top pick to draft James Worthy.

In terms of running the team, Sterling has lost as badly as he has been.

However, he has a much better vision than Jerry Bass in the real estate business, and he bought all the buildings little by little during the low tide of real estate prices, and now he is the one who owns the building, much richer than Jerry Bass!

Today, an uninvited guest came to Sterling's office.

His hated Elgin Baylor is back.

Baylor rebuked Li Ao's evil deeds, and then said: "Let's send him away!" Didn't the Lakers want him? Send him over!

After being selected, he never came to report, he hit his teammates on the first day he came, and he sent his teammates to the hospital, how can such a player be kept! ”

Sterling impatiently took out a stack of papers and threw it on the desk: "You take a look at this first." ”

Baylor picked up the papers with a question mark on his head, flipping through them one by one.

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, ......Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, More than a dozen sponsorship contracts, more than the Clippers' previous sponsorships combined.

The sponsorship fee for each contract is not high and is only for one year.

However, what does this mean, no matter how unlucky Lord Belle is, he also understands the meaning.

No wonder the one who said that his former boss drank alcohol for a few days and was sent to the hospital.

Sterling took the sponsorship contract back into his hand, counted them one by one, no less, relieved, and said:

"In this matter, whoever did it first is at fault, Leo and his teammates brawled, and this summer league was banned for 5 games.

Olovo Kandi splashed the head coach and team-mates with water, and this behavior cannot be forgiven.

Did that parallel trade play well last season? Send him away while he is valuable.

You ask Leo if there's a center you want to work with, and we can sign or trade...... The salary can't be too high, and it's better to trade it for a center under a rookie contract...... The salary can't be too high! ”

When he heard who made the first move and who was wrong, Baylor was pleasantly surprised, thinking that the peak had turned.

But when he heard Sterling use 'brawl' to define the matter, he felt something was wrong.

Hearing the way the two were handled, he thought he was blind.

Seeing that Baylor's bitter face expression became more and more exciting, Sterling snorted coldly and continued: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, is there anything else?" If not, leave quickly, and there will be customers coming soon. ”

Baylor left the office in a daze, he was now messy.

Going downstairs and walking out of the building, a warm breeze blew, and his thoughts turned a corner - our Clippers actually have today, and have a ball bully? Or is it a balloon star with a lot of commercial value to be held by management?

Eyes return to Sterling's office.

His secretary is sorting out the sponsorship contract, his hands are sorting out the secretary's skirt, and he starts to move his hands and feet again on the new Xiaomi.

He felt that he was extraordinarily high today, and before Baylor arrived, he had already gotten straight to the ground and was ready to show his majesty.

This secretary came at the end of last month, his name is Tia, he liked it at first sight, it is his good mouth, he has a good figure, but he is ...... Very heroic.

At noon today, he drank some wine and was about to do it.

But as soon as he started to do it, Baylor's hapless guy came and disturbed his sexuality.

However, he felt that he was extraordinarily top today, and looking at Tia who was bent over and hips, he stood up again.

"Boss, it can't be like this, I have a boyfriend...... The boss has such a good hand......"

"I've got something better."

"Boss, you hate ...... Is this the takeaway from selecting Leo? His commercial value is so high! ”

Raheem Sterling was smug and said: "This is the beginning, if we can sign him well, as long as he performs well enough, we will get a much higher sponsorship fee for the next one!"

Olovocandi, this nigga, who is not obedient at all, has long wanted to kick him away, damn parallel goods, and I have been scolded for two years.

Leo, hmph, he dares to look down on my team, but it doesn't matter, as long as he can help me make money, he played Olovocandi, and I just sent Olovocandi away to please the fans of the flower planters.

But whether it's the of Olovocandi or the yellow skin of Leo, it's just a tool for me to make money! If they hadn't been able to make money for me, I wouldn't have been able to let them into my arena, and I got goosebumps all over my body when I saw them. ”

The more he spoke, the more excited Sterling became: "Bass's kind of Yankees are really stupid, what basketball dreams, what sportsmanship, they know a fart, money is the most important thing, but if they weren't so stupid, the Eagle Sauce family would not be controlled by us Jews." ”

Tia was stunned, this is what can be said?

No, the work is not over yet, she twisted her body and said coquettishly: "Boss, you can do it, why do you still take off my clothes, I have a boyfriend!" ”

That's right, before taking off his clothes, Sterling hurriedly took off Tia's clothes and smiled lewdly: "I like to have a boyfriend, come, you compare me and your boyfriend......"

… A few minutes later...

Tia said with a satisfied face: "Boss or you are ......"

Sterling was pleased with the new secretary's reaction, put on his pants, and said, "I have business to discuss, you clean up the office." ”

After saying that, Sterling walked with a gray feeling and couldn't stand up.

After Tia confirmed that Sterling was gone, she first snorted and didn't even tip, which was not as generous as the person who ate fast food when she went to work part-time.

But that's okay!

She took out the camera hidden in the bookshelf, looked at it, the picture and sound were very clear, and quickly put it in her bag and cleaned up.

She's so excited right now! I'm in a hurry when I'm cleaning.

She didn't expect the fragrance of the third brother's family to be so powerful!

This Grande is so open-mouthed!

Originally, she just wanted to use this to extort the other party a sum of money, but she didn't expect to record such a powerful content!

There is a long-term meal ticket!

…

On the first day of Li Ao's return to the team, he went to the training hall in the morning and was notified of the ban at noon.

The Schwartz people were numb, and they knew that they would apply for a deal directly after being selected.

He didn't expect Leo to be so irritable, and he felt that his agent career was coming to an end at the beginning......

However, in the evening, a rumor appeared that the Clippers' parallel champion Olowokandi wanted to bully the rookie, and the new scout Li Ao fought back angrily, and the two beat each other up in the locker room, and both were banned from the next summer league.

When Schwartz first received the news, the worldview exploded.

I rub, can it still be like this?

Early the next morning, he came to Li Ao's apartment, saw the door of Li Ao's small suite open, and walked over to take a look......

On the sofa, Li Ao was such a big person, and he was leaning his head on the shoulders of the beautiful teacher aggrievedly, and said aggrievedly:

"That guy provoked me and splashed me with dirty water, I couldn't help but fight with him, he was too strong, fortunately I had a lot of combat experience, so I narrowly defeated him, Aunt Vivian, you see, my hands are hurt."

"Why didn't you say it yesterday, you have to tell me if you were bullied! I hired someone to beat him...... It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, my aunt blows it for you, and it hurts...... Where else did it hurt to ......."

"Ahem."

Schwartz couldn't take it anymore and interrupted the two of them.

Li Ao and Vivian noticed that someone was coming, and Li Ao raised his head as if nothing had happened just now.

As long as he doesn't feel embarrassed, then it's not embarrassing.

After a while, the three of them sat in the living room of Vivian's house and ate breakfast.

Li Ao's hands were scratched and his recovery was slow after touching the water for a long time, so he cooked three bowls of macaroni and ate a meal.

It was a good thing for him, but for Schwartz, it was the best macaroni he had ever tasted, as if someone was going to grab it from him, and he ate it in three or two clicks, and the soup was all drunk.

Wiping his mouth, Schwartz said, "Leo, why were you so impulsive yesterday?" ”

He wanted to ask this yesterday, but he didn't dare.

When Li Ao beat up Olovo Kandi, the picture was too scary.

But today, seeing that Li Ao's face is still invulnerable, and the cooking is still amazingly delicious, Li Ao's image in his mind has been reversed, and he dares to ask.

Li Ao responded: "As the saying goes, open it with one punch, so as not to come with a hundred punches, the first time I am bullied, if I don't give them something powerful, they still think that I am really easy to bully." ”

Vivien chimed in, "That's right, that's right. ”

Schwarz:( ̄┏Д┓ ̄°*)

He actually thinks it makes sense!

Forget it, let's take it one step at a time.

Schwartz said: "I finally know why Sterling so readily agreed to ask you for tickets and 120 percent of your salary, and there are a number of companies that announced business partnerships with the Clippers last night. ”

"I've heard about it, too, but I had expected it to be like this."

"Oh, so you're knowing that the Clippers are going to favor you, that's why you hit that parallel merger, and I'm like, how can you be so uncool." Schwartz felt it made sense.

"No, I didn't think that much about it at the time, I just habitually fought back."

“……”

Schwartz covered his face in pain.

Forget it, it's on the stall, what else can it do?

He said: "When I was out the door, Elgin Baylor called me and asked if you had a center forward you wanted to work with, and they were going to send Olovo Kandi away. ”

"I want Duncan."

"You want to eat, but when I was on the 1st, I received news that the Clippers really gave Duncan a maximum salary offer, but Banks didn't even give the Clippers a chance to meet, and directly refused, just ...... I didn't expect that Jew would be willing to spend such a large sum of money. Schwartz feels that since becoming Li Ao's agent, his worldview has been refreshed.

"Raheem Sterling is picky, and he's not stupid, no matter what team gets Duncan, he can immediately become a favorite, and the benefits from ticket increases are higher than Duncan's salary...... No kidding, I really have a choice......"

…

Summer League was banned for five games, about two weeks.

Li Ao is also happy to train on his own, practice his three-point and mid-range shooting better, and show stronger ability when the time comes, so as to strive for a higher tactical position.

Regarding the fact that he hit Olovocandi, the paper can't contain the fire, and what the situation was still exposed.

However, Sterling's side first used media resources to release the rumors, and took the first step to give people the impression of 'beating each other', even if it was later revealed that Li Ao unilaterally beat Olovocandi, it only turned this matter into an 'unsolved case'.

And this matter did not have much impact on Li Ao's reputation.

People are concerned about this matter, whether the Clippers will keep Li Ao?

There have been two recent news about Li Ao that are quite popular, one is that the Grizzlies management revealed that they had planned to help the Lakers draft Li Ao.

The authenticity of this news was originally doubted in people's minds.

But later it was revealed that the Lakers had already negotiated a trade with the Magic team to pick Li Ao on the No. 5 pick, but the Clippers used the No. 3 pick to cut off the Hu.

The news was confirmed by unhappy Magic insiders who lost the trade.

Will the Clippers send this stinger away?

Even if he doesn't send him away, how should Li Ao get along with his teammates?

Wouldn't it be embarrassing for Li Ao and Olovokandi to play in the same jersey?

Just when the media and fans were discussing more and more lively, the Clippers officially announced the trade!

The Clippers sent Olowokandi and Derrick Blunt from the Trail Blazers in exchange for Jermaine O'Neal, Greg Anthony, and a highly protected first-round pick with the top 25 picks in 2001!
