Chapter 977 is also Donald
Feng Yu likes sports more, and he also believes that sports are a good investment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's a pity that the domestic sports environment is too poor, and the sports of the United States, he just looks at basketball.
In his previous life, because Da Yao joined the NBA, many Chinese people began to watch the NBA, and basketball once surpassed football and table tennis in China, and Feng Yu also really began 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 shut down due to labor disputes, and there are already rumors of it. And Los Angeles is a big city, if there are stars with gorgeous football styles, the income will definitely not be too bad. Feng Yu can also take this opportunity to advertise his brand.
"Ralph, go find out who the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers is, what is the stake in the team, and how much money can be spent to buy it."
"Boss, do you really want to buy the Los Angeles Clippers? That team, one of the worst teams, in Los Angeles, the fans all watch the Lakers, no one watches the Clippers. "Ralph is also a basketball fan, but he prefers the NCAA.
"I know, but do you think the Lakers can sell it? Unless we are willing to pay more than double the premium, will we still be able to make money? The Clippers, on the other hand, are easier to get, and they can't lose much. ”
"Boss, I know you made a bet with Mr. Allen, you were too impulsive."
"An All-Star can change a team, go ahead, get to know the situation, and talk about it as soon as possible."
The Clippers are so bad, the probability of winning the lottery must be very high, go back and look at the draft report, see who the future All-Star is, just do everything you can to select it, and then the team will find a way to trade it back for the player he likes.
An hour later, Ralph entered Feng Yu's office again and placed a report on Feng Yu's desk.
"Boss, this Donald? Sterling is the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, holding all the shares, he was previously engaged in real estate, and Mr. Buss, the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, is a partner, but the level of the two running the team is obviously very different. ”
Also called Donald? Do you do real estate again?
Feng Yu thought about it with his chin in his heart, and dialed a call: "Hi, Donald, are you busy now?" ”
"Not very busy, do you have something to do, Feng?" Donald? Trump was a little surprised, the two only talked in New York a few days ago, didn't Feng Yu go to Seattle, why did he call me?
"Ask someone about you, Donald? Sterling, do you know each other? The owner of the Los Angeles Clippers is also in real estate. ”
"He, I know, you have something to do with him?"
Trump's real estate investments are mainly in the vicinity of New York, while Sterling's real estate investments are mainly in Los Angeles. They are all top big cities in the United States, and they have seen each other on different occasions and can speak.
"I want to buy his Los Angeles Clippers, can you introduce me to him?"
Trump is confused and invests in the basketball team? In the United States, the NBA is at the bottom of the four major sports leagues, how could Feng think about investing in basketball?
Feng Yu's favor is not difficult, and Trump certainly will not refuse.
"No problem, I'll make a call, I'm going to Los Angeles in two days, and I can accompany you then."
Before Feng Yu finished his cup of tea, Trump's phone call returned: "Feng, we have been contacted, we will go to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow, we can have lunch together." ”
After thanking Trump, Feng Yu hung up the phone with great satisfaction, flipped through the materials prepared by Ralph, and began to read carefully.
The market capitalization of the Los Angeles Clippers is estimated at only $55 million! And more than ten years ago, Sterling spent $12.5 million on the purchase!
In terms of inflation, it seems that the market value of this team is regressing!
Nima, is she pretending to be forced to make a big deal, as if she ordered a super bad team. The second-to-last attendance rate in the league, this TM is Los Angeles!
In the past ten years, only three times have made the playoffs, and all of them have been round-rounders. At present, the regular season is not over, but the Clippers have confirmed that the win will not exceed 20, and the win rate is less than 25%!
And what about the pioneers at this time? Since Allen bought it nine years ago, since the second year, it has been in the playoffs every year, and even if it starts to go downhill in the past two years, the playoffs are all a round trip, but they are much better than the Clippers.
This comparison makes the Clippers even more scummy!
No wonder Alan is so confident, the gap is really not ordinarily big.
There is also a list of players who have announced their participation in the draft this year, Feng Yu looked down one by one, and suddenly saw a former NBA All-Star, and it was a player he liked very much-Vince? Carter!
Nima, with such a dunk monster, the style of the ball is gorgeous, and it can definitely attract attention. There's a Dirk in the back? Nowitzki, Paul? Pierce and other All-Stars, any one of these three people can become the cornerstone of the team, but Nowitzki is still relatively immature and a late bloomer, so it is safer to choose instant combat power like Carter and Pierce.
Measuring the star appearance and autumn breeze of the two, Carter is the most cost-effective. Of course, it would be even better if all two of them could be selected to form a twin star!
Feng Yu was suddenly full of confidence that maybe he would be able to enter the playoffs within two years.
……
Feng Yu took Ralph to Los Angeles, where he met Trump at the hotel.
Get in Trump's car and drive all the way to the hotel you booked.
"Feng, Sterling is a bit arrogant, and he is very stingy, if you want to buy the Clippers, I'm afraid he will open his mouth." Trump reminded. In fact, he also knew that Sterling didn't look down on blacks, and he didn't care about the basketball team that was mostly black at this time, and he just promised not to lose money.
"Then I need your help, I made a bet with someone to buy the worst team and win his team. If the Clippers can't buy it, then buy another team. Feng Yu didn't show that he had to buy it, and who knows if Trump has a better relationship with Sterling.
Trump also looked at Feng Yu with a confused face, you bought the team because you bet with others? Bet on it, bet on it, as for being so extreme? And to buy the worst team, listen to what you mean, then you have to win, it must be a strong team?
"Okay, I'll try."
When they arrived at the hotel, Feng Yu and the others went in, and after waiting for almost half an hour, they saw a white man coming in slowly, and at this time, Trump stood up and stretched out his right hand to the other party: "Sterling, long time no see." ”
"Hello, Trump."
"Let me introduce you to you, this is Feng, the second richest man in the world just announced by Forbes magazine, and a shareholder and director of Microsoft. Von, this is Donald? Raheem Sterling, owner of the Clippers. "Donald? Trump introduced.
As soon as he heard this introduction, Sterling's eyes lit up, and it seemed that this rotten team could be sold for a good price.
