Chapter 977: Donald

Feng Yu prefers sports and also believes that sports is a good investment. Unfortunately, the domestic sports environment is too bad, and the sports of the country, he also watched basketball.
In the past, because Dayao joined the NBA, many Chinese people began to watch the NBA. The popularity of basketball in China was more than football and table tennis. Feng Yu also started to pay attention to the NBA at that time, but he only knew those stars.
He remembers that in the second half of this year, the NBA will be suspended due to labor disputes, and now there is already a wind. And Los Angeles is a big city. If you have a gorgeous star, you will definitely not get too bad income. Feng Yu can also use this opportunity to advertise his brand.
"Ralph, check out, who is the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, what is the stake in the team, and how much it can buy."
"Boss, do you really want to buy the Los Angeles Clippers? That team is one of the worst teams. In Los Angeles, fans are watching the Lakers, no one watching the Clippers." Ralph is also a basketball fan, but He prefers the NCAA.
"I know, but do you think that the Lakers can sell each other? Unless we are more than double the premium, can we make money? And the Clippers are better off, and they can't lose much."
"Boss, I know that you are betting on Mr. Allen, you are too impulsive."
"An all-star, you can change a team, go, find out the situation, talk about it as soon as possible."
The Clippers are so bad, the probability of winning the No. 1 pick is definitely high. Looking back at the draft report to see who is the future All-Star, I want to do everything I can to select it, then the team will find a way to trade and exchange him. The favorite player is alright.
An hour later, Ralph once again entered the Feng Yu office and placed a report on Feng Yu's desk.
"Boss, this Donald Sterling is the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. He holds all the shares. He used to be real estate. He is a partner with Mr. Bass, the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, but the two run the team. Level, obviously the gap is big."
Also called Donald? Is it real estate?
Feng Yu thought about it in his chin and dialed a phone call: "Hey, Donald, are you busy now?"
"Not very busy, do you have anything, Feng?" Donald Trump was a little surprised. They had talked in New York a few days ago. Feng Yu didn't go to Seattle. How can I call me?
"Tell you a person, Donald Sterling, do you know? The owner of the Los Angeles Clippers is also doing real estate."
"He, know, are you looking for him?"
Trump's real estate investments are mainly around New York, while Sterling invests in real estate, primarily in Los Angeles. They are all the top cities in the country, and they have seen each other on different occasions.
"I want to buy the Los Angeles Clippers in his hand. Can you recommend me for it?"
Trump is confused and invests in basketball team? In the United States, the NBA is the bottom of the four major sports leagues. How can Feng think about investing in basketball?
Feng Yu is not difficult to do this, Trump certainly will not refuse.
"No problem, I have a call. It will take me two days to go to Los Angeles. I can go with you when I get there."
Feng Yu hadn't finished drinking a cup of tea yet. Trump's phone call came back: "Feng, I have already contacted us. We will go to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow, we can have lunch together."
After Trump thanked him, Feng Yu was very satisfied with hanging up the phone, opened the information prepared by Ralph, and began to read it carefully.
The market value of the Los Angeles Clippers is only $55 million! And more than a decade ago, Sterling spent $12.5 million on purchases!
According to the inflation calculation, it seems that the market value of this team is going backwards!
Nima, is not pretending to be a big hair, as if I have ordered a super bad team. The attendance rate is the second lowest in the league. This TM is Los Angeles!
In the past ten years, only three times into the playoffs, but also a round of travel. The regular season is not over yet, but the Clippers have already determined that the win will not exceed 20, and the winning percentage is less than 25%!
And what about the pioneers at this time? After Allen bought 9 years ago, the second year began, every year into the playoffs, even if the two years began to decline, the playoffs are also a round of swimming, but also much stronger than the Clippers .
This contrast, it seems that the Clippers are more scum!
It's no wonder that Allen is so confident that the gap is really not that big.
There is also a list of players who announced their participation in the draft this year. Feng Yu looked at each other and suddenly saw a former NBA All-Star, and he is a very favorite player - Vince Carter!
Nima, with such a dunk monster, the ball is gorgeous and definitely attracts attention. Behind there are Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce and other all-stars. These three people can choose to be the cornerstone of the team, but Nowitzki is still relatively young, it is a latecomer, choose Carter. It is safer than Pierce.
Measuring the stars and the autumn wind of the two, Carter is the most cost-effective. Of course, if you can choose both of them to form a Gemini, it would be even better!
Feng Yu suddenly filled with confidence, maybe within two years, can enter the playoffs.
......
Feng Yu took Ralph to Los Angeles, and at the hotel, he saw Trump greeted him.
Take Trump's car and drive all the way to the booked hotel.
"Feng, Sterling is a bit arrogant, and very embarrassing, you have to buy the Clippers, I am afraid he will open the lion," Trump reminded. In fact, he also knows that Sterling doesn't see black people. Most of them are black basketball teams. He doesn't care at all, and he can't afford to lose money.
"Then need your help, I made a bet with people, to buy the worst team, to win his team. If the Clippers can't buy it, then buy other teams." Feng Yu Didn't show the meaning of buying it, who knows if Trump is better with Sterling.
Trump is also looking at Feng Yu with a look of arrogance. Are you buying a team because you are betting on others? Betting on bets, is it so extreme? Also buy the worst team, listen to what you mean, then you have to win, is definitely a strong team?
"Well, I try to be."
When they arrived at the hotel, Feng Yu went in and waited for half an hour before they saw a white man coming in slowly. At this time, Trump stood up and reached out to the other hand: "Sterling, long time no see."
"Hello, Trump."
"I will tell you, this is Feng, "Forbes" magazine just announced, the world's second richest, is also a shareholder and director of Microsoft. Feng, this is Donald Sterling, the owner of the Clippers." Donald Trump introduced.
As soon as I heard this introduction, Sterling’s eyes were bright. It seems that this rotten team can sell a good price.
