Sterling bought the team at the instigation of his friend Buss, who is also the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, and the reason why the Clippers were able to relocate to Los Angeles was also a great help to Buss. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But the teams of the two are very different, many Los Angeles fans, and they never even watch the Clippers game, and Sterling has long lost patience.

And this year, the old collective bargaining agreement of the NBA will expire, and the new one has not yet been negotiated. He's just waiting for the big guy to show up and buy his team.

And 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 he loses, right?

Back then, he spent $12.5 million to buy the team, and now the team is not worth anything at all, except for the Bulls and the New York Knicks, isn't it only valued at more than 100 million points, his team's record and popularity are so bad, it is difficult to sell it at a high price, but 70 million dollars, there should be hope, right? Anyway, this team is also in Los Angeles.

"Hello, Mr. Feng, I didn't expect to have the honor to sit and eat with you."

Sterling's posture made Donald stunned for a moment, when did this guy become so polite?

"Hello, nice to meet you. Why am I here, Donald should have told you, are you interested in selling the Clippers? Feng Yu asked directly.

"Of course interested, otherwise I wouldn't have come. To be honest, I'm still a little reluctant, after all, this is Los Angeles, and there are too many basketball fans here. ”

Feng Yu pouted, don't talk nonsense, there are indeed many basketball fans in Los Angeles, but are they all good at the Lakers? The Lakers have so much history of glory, and even now, they are a strong team. What is the history of the Clippers? The team is at the bottom of the team again this year, can there be fans who are willing to watch?

"It's good to be interested, I understand, this team belongs to you alone, so as long as you agree, it's okay, how much money do you plan to sell?"

"How about $90 million?" Sterling proclaimed.

Before Feng Yu could speak, Trump sneered: "Sterling, don't be kidding, nearly one-third of the shares of the New York Knicks were sold for $30 million last year, and how many people in your team are interested in $50 million?" ”

"Trump, you can't say that. More than ten years ago, I spent $12.5 million on the team, but now, how many times is it too much, right? Tickets have gone up so much, and there are more fans. Sterling argued.

"If it's the Lakers, let alone $90 million, $100 million is worth a lot, but the Clippers, 50 million I think is reasonable. The team doesn't have a glorious history, no well-known All-Stars, not even die-hard fans. What's more, in some cases, it is not possible to measure the value by converting the original price into the current price. Feng is still the owner of the Empire State Building, how many years has the Empire State Building, and even the original price has fallen below the price of construction. It's normal for the value of the team to fall, right? What's more, 50 million dollars is not a lot. ”

"No, no, no, it's a building, and as it grows, it needs to be invested more and more, and the value will naturally fall, but now that it has been renovated, hasn't it also risen? It's a different team, we're trying to get better and it wouldn't have been bad this year if it wasn't for injuries. ”

"Really? But even if you made the playoffs that year, you didn't sell many tickets, did you? You don't have any stars who can get your hands on it, you don't have a record yet, how can you attract fans? ”

"But this year we might get the top pick, and we can just pick a future superstar, and I think that big black guy is good." Sterling argued.

Feng Yu's eyes widened, this is the joke of the Clippers back then, they chose one who was also named Michael, but whose surname was Olovo Candi, and in the end it turned out that he was a parallel champion who could no longer be watered, and the second-round pick was not necessarily worth it!

Originally, Sterling thought that this big man could become Mutombo at worst, maybe it would be Olajuwon!

"First of all, you haven't won the champion lottery yet, and secondly, even if you choose the champion, you may not be able to play at the level. Do you use a future that you don't know if you can succeed and ask us for a higher price? Don't you think you're joking? Trump said dismissively.

Feng Yu likes Trump too much, this guy is very interesting, and he must have read a lot of information before, otherwise he wouldn't be the first to say it. This negotiation is so powerful that Sterling is almost speechless!

Sterling was helpless, and he realized that Trump had come to help Feng Yu lower the price. In fact, Trump has a sentence that is very reasonable, if the Clippers sell 50 million dollars at this time, there are really few people who are interested, and if they operate normally, they will definitely lose money, and no one wants to lose money, right?

"Then how much do you say is appropriate?" Sterling asked angrily.

"I think $50 million is good, the price is reasonable, you sell the team and invest in the real estate you know best, and you make a lot more than that."

"What are you kidding, I bought it for $12.5 million, and the Houston Rockets sold it for $85 million a few years ago, and you let me sell it at a loss, it's absolutely impossible. Seventy-five million, that's a reasonable price, it's Los Angeles after all! 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 the bad team is not stimulated by a star, then when will it turn over? That would affect the image of the entire Union!

"Houston was because of Olajuwon back then, so is the attendance rate comparable to the Clippers? What if the NBA shuts down next year? We will lose money, even a lot. Needless to say, we will never offer such a high price, 55 million, this price is already very high, don't open your mouth. ”

When he was in the car, Trump asked Feng Yu about the psychological price, but he didn't expect that Feng Yu said that 100 million dollars would be acceptable.

Of course, for less than 100 million US dollars, he can get 10% of the difference as a commission, so he desperately lowers the price.

The two Trump argued for a long time, and Feng Yu made a final decision: "70 million US dollars, I will make a bid once, if you agree, then it will be decided, if you don't agree, I will buy other teams, maybe it will be cheaper." ”

Sterling looked embarrassed, but in fact, his heart was already happy. $70 million is a good team, but if the Clippers weren't in Los Angeles, they might not be able to sell $50 million.

"Okay, Feng, I agreed. We can sign an agreement first, and I will report to the alliance, and after it is approved, the transaction will be formalized. ”

Feng Yu stretched out his hand back, and Ralph handed over an agreement with the price filled. Feng Yu swiped his name and signed it, and then handed it to Sterling: "After you sign it, give me the contract." ”
