Chapter 978: Buy a Clipper (request for a ticket)

Sterling bought the team, was inspired by the friend Bass, Bath is the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, the reason why the Clippers can move to Los Angeles, is also a great help for Bass.
But the team of two people is different, many Los Angeles fans, and even never watch the Clippers, 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.
At that time, he bought a team for $12.5 million. Now the team is not worth the money. Except for the Bulls and the New York Knicks, it is 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 also tell you, are you interested in selling the 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, it is Los Angeles. There are too many basketball fans here."
Feng Yu licks his mouth, don't slap it off. 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 the 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’s opening, Trump laughed and said:
Sterling, don’t be kidding. Last year, nearly one-third of the shares of the New York Knicks sold for $30 million. You’re looking for $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 the Clippers, 50 million I think very reasonable. The team has no glorious history, no famous All-Star, even diehard No fans. Not to mention, sometimes it is impossible to use the original price to convert the current price to measure the value. Feng is the owner of the Empire State Building, the Empire State Building for many years, and even the price has fallen below the construction price. It is normal for the value to fall. What's more, the $50 million is also quite 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 good star at all. You haven't had a record yet. How do you attract fans?"
"But this year we are likely to get the top pick, we will choose a future superstar, I think the black big man is good." Sterling argued.
Feng Yu's big eyes, 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, the second round. Signing is not necessarily worth!
Original Sterling believes that this big man can also become Mutombo in the worst case, maybe it is 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 he must have read a lot of information before, otherwise he will not say the head. This negotiation is too powerful, and Sterling is almost speechless!
Sterling had no choice but to understand that Trump was actually trying to help Feng Yu to suppress the price. In fact, Trump has a saying that is very reasonable. If the Clippers are selling 50 million US dollars at this time, there are really few people who are interested. Normal operation 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."
"What a joke, I bought it for $12.5 million. In the past few years, the Houston Rockets sold $85 million. You let me lose money, absolutely impossible. Seven thousand five Millions, this price is very reasonable, here is Los Angeles after all! And I can guarantee that the team will get the No. 1 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 the Clippers? What should I do if the NBA stops next year? We will lose money and even lose a lot. It doesn't matter if we fool others. We will never make such a high price, 55 million, this price is already very high, you don't want a big lion."
When he was in the car, Trump asked Feng Yu's psychological price. He did not expect that Feng Yu said that one billion dollars can be accepted.
Of course, below one hundred million dollars, he can get 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 the tone: "70 million US dollars, I will bid once, 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, she was already happy. With 70 million dollars, I can buy a good team. If the Clippers are not in Los Angeles, they may not be able to sell 50 million dollars.
"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 handed back, and Ralph handed over a price-filled agreement. Feng Yu brushed his name and handed it to Sterling: "After you signed the word, give me the contract."
