Chapter 749: $1.5 billion, the Clippers are here

After the draft ended, Nielsen was excited.
Tonight's draft conference, Golden Dragon, as the boss, naturally didn't come. Generally speaking, there will be very few bosses in the draft conference, except for wonderful flowers like Richard or Cuban...
Old Nielsen has harvested three newcomers tonight. According to Richard, these three are all-star or quasi-all-star players.
The first draft of the draft has so many high-quality newcomers, old Nielsen is not happy to blame.
Now the old Nielsen can really understand that the team led by Richard can be so powerful, with such a strong selection ability, it is difficult to think of not being strong.
Not surprisingly, their Warriors will begin their initial rise in the next two years.
...
After returning from New York to Los Angeles, Richard received a call from Stern.
The content of the phone call is very simple, that is, let Richard go to the New York headquarters a week later, and then offer the Los Angeles Clippers together with other competitors.
In general, it is like a bidding meeting. All competitors bid, and the highest bidder wins.
Stern didn't elaborate on the specific rules, so Richard doesn't quite understand it yet.
However, he has sufficient confidence in his financial resources, as long as it does not exceed 2 billion US dollars, he will never shrink back.
It is not expected that it will exceed US$2 billion unless these competitors are fighting back and selling iron.
...
A week later, Richard appeared at the New York headquarters with Sun Xiaoben.
It may be that the number of competitors is not large, so Stern directly yelled everyone to go to his office.
Stern's office is undoubtedly quite spacious, and there are ten people sitting in it at the moment, but it doesn't feel too crowded at all.
Although there are more than ten people, there are actually only three real competitors of Richard.
That is to say, Richard's words, this time the competitors of the Clippers only four sides.
Richard's side.
Magic Johnson and the consortium behind him.
Bragging dad and the consortium behind him.
The last competitor was somewhat beyond Richard's expectations. He did not expect him to come.
Larry Exxon with the nickname Silicon Valley Playboy.
This is a real swinger, Stirling is just a little witch in front of him...
Sterling is just a stolen old guy, and Exxon likes to pedal dozens of boats, with a arrogant personality, likes to enjoy and splurge.
As the founder of Oracle, the world's second largest software company, Exxon is naturally qualified to enjoy and spend money.
Richard remembers that under normal circumstances, when Ballmer acquired the Clippers, the main competitor was this Exxon...
Perhaps this is also the reason why Ballmer had $2 billion.
Microsoft is undoubtedly the world's largest software company. In the competition with Oracle, the second largest company, Ballmer, the president of Microsoft, estimated that he did not want to admit defeat, so he raised the price to that point.
...
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's get started." Stern announced the start, and in the next short period of time, he will help the Clippers choose a new owner.
Everyone nodded, waiting for Stern's further instructions.
"Let's start with Mr. Comus, and talk about your intention quotation. Of course, this is not the final quotation. After listening to other quotations, you can increase the price again if you think it is possible." Stern smiled Said.
Richard nodded his head, and his heart was clear. This time it was not much like a bidding fair, but more like an auction.
Mr. Stern said that Mr. Comus is actually a bragging dad. His original name was Sean Comus.
Now that Stern has given the bragging dad a quotation, this also shows Stern's attitude. He doesn't really want Comus to get involved in the Clippers.
The bragging dad has invested in quite a lot of industries, but his worth is actually the least of all the people on the scene. At present, his total worth is only about 400 million US dollars...
When Stern introduced the dress code before, he didn't want the league to equate these hip-hop street cultures, and now he naturally doesn't want the bragging dad to get involved in the Clippers.
"800 million dollars." The bragging dad frowned.
This is certainly not his final offer, but this offer is not far from his final offer. The limit that he and the consortium behind him can bear right now is one billion dollars.
Richard and Exxon both smiled indistinctly, and dare to say 800 million dollars?
"Mr. Johnson, please talk about your offer." Stern looked at the magician again.
Stern knows that the magician and the bragging dad are all together, and the auction still depends on Richard and Exxon.
The Magician did not expect Stern to make his second offer. In his view, he is an NBA star, should Stern take care of himself?
"US$900 million." Magic Johnson raised the price of the bragging father by 100 million.
Although Stern didn't have any expression on his face, but he was also firm in his heart, that is, the magician and the bragging dad really came together to count...
It's really too petty, and you want to buy the Clippers for less than a billion dollars?
"Mr. Exxon, what is your offer?" Stern looked at Larry Exxon again.
He doesn’t really understand why Exxon is interested in NBA teams. The has not heard that he has any interest in the sports industry. He should be more interested in the entertainment industry. After all, the entertainment industry There are so many beautiful women...
"Does this product want to use the Clippers as a springboard to know more about the beauty of Los Angeles?" Stern thought silently.
The whole old beauty, or simply looking at the whole world, to say which city has the most beauties, it is undoubtedly Los Angeles.
Los Angeles is the largest entertainment city in the world. Countless dream-catching girls from all over the world are gathered in Los Angeles. A brick in the sky may kill several female models...
This is why some players have to break their heads and go to Los Angeles even if they lose a bit on their salary.
Exxon now wants to buy the Clippers. Stern doesn't believe at all if he doesn't have any ideas in this regard.
"1.3 billion dollars." Exxon said with a smile.
He directly raised the $400 million on the basis of the magician's quotation, and it seems to be a must for the Clippers.
The magician and the bragging dad looked stunned. Is this $1.3 billion? It seems that the two of them came to New York today, and they are completely foiled.
Because their limit offer is less than 1.3 billion US dollars, how can they compete with Exxon.
Richard is also entangled in his heart, Exxon this guy disrupted his plan.
Richard originally estimated that the Clippers could be acquired by almost 1.3 billion US dollars, but he did not expect Exxon to be so courageous that he quoted 1.3 billion US dollars.
Stern looked at Richard, "Lee, it's your turn to quote."
Richard pondered for a moment, and finally said: "1.5 billion!"
Richard is even more ruthless, directly raising the price by another grade, reaching the point of 1.5 billion US dollars!
The reason for the direct increase in the 200 million US dollars quotation, rather than on the basis of Exxon quotation, tens of millions of upwards, Richard naturally has his own consideration.
Exxon's temper is quite arrogant and arrogant. If his price increases too little, it may make Exxon feel teased.
If Exxon's anger was aroused, it would definitely not be a good thing for Richard.
This is not an auction segment in a fantasy novel. The protagonist can increase the price of a spirit stone, and finally raise it to a sky high price to pit the villain...
If Richard does this, Exxon is estimated to be able to fight with Richard, and it will be hard to say how much the price will rise in the end.
Exxon has the financial resources to compete with Richard. As the owner of the second largest software company in the world, Exxon's financial resources are undoubtedly strong.
If Richard is not an imperative for the Clippers, it doesn’t matter. Exxon’s name is 1.3 billion. He’s called 1.31 billion. Slowly play with Exxon, even if it really angered Exxon. , That’s no big deal. It’s a big deal. Richard, like the smart protagonists in fantasy novels, just quit the competition...
But it certainly won't work now. Richard showed his strong determination directly to everyone on the scene.
The $1.5 billion is more than twice the premium of the Clippers’ market value. Stern glanced at Richard strangely. It’s no wonder that this kid can get to where he is today. If nothing else, at least this courage is extremely good. .
The magician and bragging dad blinked their eyes and looked at Richard dumbly.
Richard's offer basically wiped out the hope of getting the Clippers.
1.5 billion? What a joke, the Clippers are really worth so much money? Richard is not afraid to buy it and hit it in his own hands?
From this moment on, they are completely desperate, knowing that the Clippers are completely out of touch with them.
Exxon's $1.3 billion just now, they gritted their teeth and sold some industry. The consortium behind them could increase their support and they could come up with it.
However, if the price reached 1.3 billion US dollars, they would not dare to take action, this risk is too great.
Now that prices have soared to US$1.5 billion, they have naturally given up hope.
Exxon glanced at Richard with curiosity, $1.5 billion? This was completely beyond his expectations.
1.3 billion US dollars is the limit of his offer. The reason why he quoted this price is because this had a girl appointment in New York and did not want to waste time here...
So when you get up, you will be given your own limit price. If you can, you will win the Clippers. If you can’t, you won’t waste time.
The $1.5 billion reported by Richard now completely lost his interest in continuing to offer.
What else can I report? 1.6 billion? Only a fool would spend $1.6 billion to buy the Clippers...
At least Exxon didn't want to be such a fool.
If Richard knew that Exxon’s limit quotation was 1.3 billion, he would expect to vomit blood. This is equivalent to spending more than 100 million US dollars in vain...
But even if he knew it, he would probably not care any more. He could accept the Clippers for $1.5 billion.
In the room, Richard reportedly fell into silence after reporting the price of US$1.5 billion.
"The first round of quotes is over, let's start the second round..." Stern said with a smile.
"Richard's offer is currently the highest. Is there a higher offer than him?"
There was five seconds of silence in the room, and finally Exxon cleared his throat.
"Congratulations, Li!"
"The Clippers are yours. If you have a chance, let's take a moment to talk. I think we should have a lot of cooperation opportunities."
"I left first, and the girl is waiting for me." Exxon said, stood up and left Stern's office directly.
The magician and the bragging dad are a bit embarrassed~EbookFREE.me~Exxon passed them directly and began to congratulate Richard!
Was he so convinced that the two of them could not get $1.5 billion? !
Okay, I really can't get it out...
"Congratulations, Lee." The bragging father smiled and congratulated Richard. Although he hoped to win the Clippers, he is not as financially capable as others.
"Congratulations, Lee, if the new Clippers need management, I think I will be happy to serve the Clippers." Magic Johnson said in a half-joking tone.
Really don't say, after the Richard reported the price tag of 1.5 billion US dollars just now, the first time he really wanted to join the Clippers.
Of course, not playing for Richard, but joining the Clippers as the team's president...
The two teams, the Lakers and the Clippers, are not in a good relationship, but they can't be called the enemy of the same city. Many Lakers have served as management in the Clippers.
The most famous one is Elgin Baylor. When Richard first entered the league, he was the president of the Clippers basketball affairs.
Later generations of LOGO men also joined the Clippers...
Now Magic Johnson wants to come to the Clippers, but it is quite normal.
It's just that Richard must not be able to promise the Magician, what a joke, the strength of this cargo field is completely unspeakable, but the team's operational capabilities are simply scum.
I am afraid that more than two hundred magicians, Johnson, are not as good as a LOGO man. Richard can only let the magicians come to his team. It is purely full, and it is okay to find something.
Moreover, Richard does not think that his team needs any president of basketball affairs, can anyone be more suitable for this position?
