Extraordinary Genius

973. Chapter 973 buys the Clippers (request for a ticket)

Sterling bought the team and was inspired by his friend Bass. Bass is also the Boss of the Los Angeles Lakers. The reason why Clippers can move to Los Angeles is that Bass has helped a lot.

The two-person team differ between Heaven and Earth, many Los Angeles fans, and even never watch Clippers, and Sterling has long lost patience.

Moreover, the old labor agreement of the NBA expired this year. The new one has not been settled, and it is difficult to stop it. The lockout means that it will lose money this year. He waited for the big head to appear and bought his team.

Today, he seems to have seen success.

This is the second richest man in the world. With so many assets, it doesn’t matter if you lose the family.

When he bought the team for $12.5 million, now the team is not worth the money. Except Bulls, the New York Knicks, it’s not worth more than a hundred million points. His team record and There are so many differences in popularity, it is difficult to sell high prices, but 70 million dollars, should there be hope? How to say this team is also in Los Angeles.

“Hello, Mr. Feng, I didn’t expect to be able to sit down with you for dinner.”

Sterling’s gesture made Donald stunned. When was this guy so polite?

“Hello, I am very glad to meet you. Why am I coming, Donald should have told you, are you interested in selling Clippers?” Feng Yu asked directly.

“Of course I am interested, otherwise I will not come. To be honest, I still have some reluctance. After all, here is Los Angeles. There are too many basketball fans here.”

Feng Yu Shut up, don’t be a taboo, Los Angeles does have a lot of basketball fans, but are the Lakers? The Lakers have so much glory history, even now, they are strong teams. What is the history of Clippers? This year, the team is at the bottom of the TM, can there be fans who are happy to watch?

“I am interested, I have learned that this team belongs to you alone, so as long as you agree, you can, how much do you plan to sell?”

“How about the $90 million?” Sterling tried.

Without Feng Yu, Trump would say with a smile : “Sterling, don’t be kidding. Last year, nearly one-third of the New York Knicks sold for $30 million. You have $50 million. See how many people are interested?”

“Trump, you can’t say that. A dozen years ago, I bought the team and spent $12.5 million. I can’t overdo it now. The tickets have soared so much. The fans are more,” Sterling argued.

“If it’s the Lakers, don’t say 90 million dollars, a million dollars is also worthwhile, but Clippers, 50 million I think it is very reasonable. The team has no glorious history, no famous all-stars, even dead loyal fans No. Not to mention, sometimes it is impossible to use the original price to convert the current price to measure the value. Feng is still the Boss of the Empire State Building, the Empire State Building for many years, and even the price has fallen below the construction price. The value of the team fell. Is it normal? What’s more, 50 million US dollars is also a lot.”

“No, no, it is a building. As the years grow, more and more needs to be invested, and the value will naturally fall. But now that it has been renovated, isn’t it also rising? The team is even more different, our The team is trying to get better. If it is not an injury this year, it will not be so bad.”

“Yes? But even if you made the playoffs that year, the tickets didn’t sell much. You didn’t have a star for the take action. You haven’t had a record yet. How do you attract fans?”

“But we are likely to get the No. 1 pick this year. We will choose a future superstar. I think the big black man is good,” Sterling argued.

Feng Yu’s eyes wide open, this is the joke of the Clippers that year. I chose a man named Michael, but my name is Olovokandi. It is finally proved that it is a water-free parallel champion. Signing is not necessarily worth!

Originally Sterling thought that this big man could become Mutombo in the worst case, maybe it was an Olajuwon!

“First of all, you haven’t got the No. 1 pick. Secondly, even if you pick the champion, you may not be able to hit the level. Do you want a higher price with a future that you don’t know if you can succeed? You don’t feel like you are Are you kidding?” Trump said disdainfully.

Feng Yu likes Trump too much. This guy is very interesting, and I have definitely read a lot of information before, otherwise I will not say the head. This negotiation is too powerful, and Sterling is almost speechless!

Sterling was helpless, and he realized that Trump was actually helping Feng Yu to suppress the price. In fact, Trump has a saying that is very reasonable. If Clippers sells 50 million US dollars at this time, there are really few people who are interested. Normal business is definitely a loss of money. Who is not willing to lose money?

“So how much money do you say is right?” Sterling asked without anger.

“I think it’s good for $50 million. The price is reasonable. You sell the team and invest in the real estate you are most familiar with, which is much more than this.”

“You must be joking, I bought it for $12.5 million. In the past few years, the Houston Rockets also sold $85 million. You let me lose money, absolutely impossible. Seven thousand Five million, this price is very reasonable, here is Los Angeles! And I can guarantee that the team will get the top pick this year!”

The league seems to be fair, but in fact there is a black-box operation. Besides, if a bad team does not have a star to stimulate, then when can it turn over? That will affect the image of the entire league!

“Houston was because of Olajuwon, is the attendance rate comparable to that of Clippers? What if the NBA stops at next year? We will lose money, and even lose a lot. It’s not necessary to fool others. We Absolutely not going to be such a high price, 55 million, this price is already very high, you don’t have daylight robbery.”

When he was in the car, Trump asked Feng Yu about his psychological price. He didn’t expect Feng Yu to say that one hundred million dollars would be acceptable.

Of course, below $100 million, he can get the 10% of the difference as a commission, so he is desperately pressing the price.

The two Trump disputes for a long time, Feng Yu hammered: “I will make a bid for 70 million US dollars, you promise, then it is so fixed, if you do not agree, I will buy other teams, maybe cheaper. maybe.”

Sterling made a dilemma, but in fact he was already happy. With $70 million, I can buy a good team. If Clippers are not in Los Angeles, I really can’t sell $50 million.

“Well, Feng, I promised. We can sign an agreement first, I will report to the alliance, and after approval, formally trade.”

Feng Yu reached out and Ralph handed over a price-filled agreement. Feng Yu brushed the name and handed it to Sterling: “After you signed the word, give me the contract.”
