The reason why Richard didn't say anything was actually because he wanted to see Stern.

Since Stern brought himself to Sterling, he must have been completely sure, not to mention letting Sterling sell the Clippers directly to Richard, at least Richard can join the competition.

"Calm down, Donald, you should know that no one is to blame for the current situation, and all the problems are on you."

"Although the Clippers are still your property, you don't have the right to choose the acquirer, of course, we will still follow the principle of the highest bidder, you don't have to worry about this." Stern said slowly.

"I don't have the right to choose an acquirer? Why? Clippers are still in my name, and I can sell them to whomever I want, it's my right! Sterling yelled.

He already sensed that the three of Richard were not good today, so he naturally had to be tough at this moment.

Hearing Sterling's roar, Stern sneered.

"Since you think so, then I don't think we have much more to say, Richard, let's go." Stern stood up and left Stirling's residence with Richard.

Richard looked confused, this is the end?

Isn't this anticlimactic, saying that you can clear the obstacles for yourself?

Didn't even threaten Sterling, and just left?

However, Richard also noticed that Xiao Hua did not come out with them, obviously having something to say to Sterling alone.

After Richard and Stern left, only Sterling and Xiao Hua were left in the room.

"Why don't you go?" Sterling looked at Xiao Hua angrily, he didn't take Xiao Hua too seriously.

"If I'm gone, you're finished, Donald, I don't know if I believe it or not?" Xiao Hua looked at Sterling with a playful smile.

"Huh? Finished? How is it over? Sterling glanced at Xiao Hua and said disdainfully.

"If I don't get your answer in this room about Richard's fair play......"

"When I walk out of this room, you're going to face the following dilemmas."

"The league is going to sell all of the Clippers' valuable players for a bargain, the kind of bargain you can't imagine."

"Then the league will sell all the draft picks that the Clippers can sell for the next five years, and if they can't, they will select some players who have no talent."

"You should know that the league has such a right, and we can do the same thing."

"If you don't let Richard compete fairly, then the Clippers will continue to hang under your name, and you won't want to sell the Clippers for at least five years."

"In five years' time, how much will the Clippers' market value be left?"

"We have enough patience to keep you going, and as long as Richard doesn't join the competition, the league will continue to manage the Clippers."

"Trust me, you're not willing to spend it, it's just a more conciliatory plan I proposed to Stern, if according to Stern's idea, he is ready to just give up the Clippers and build a new team in Los Angeles."

"Isn't that crazy? That's right, President Stern is retiring, maybe he wants to do something big before he retires. ”

Xiao Hua's shiny bald head looked a little funny, but now Sterling couldn't laugh.

He knew that what Xiao Hua said was definitely not groundless alarmism, and the alliance was definitely capable of doing this kind of thing.

As for why the league wants Richard to take over the Clippers, he naturally knows it very well in his heart.

Because Richard can make the Clippers' market value skyrocket, and he can maximize the interests of the league.

Especially after hearing Stern's frantic plan, Sterling couldn't sit still.

Xiao Hua's plan is already vicious enough, and in five years, the market value of the Clippers will definitely be greatly affected.

And if the league adopts Stern's plan, then he is completely finished, and the Clippers will be worthless.

A team without a league, a team without a game, who will buy it when it is full?

Buy it and play it every day at home to watch it? Enjoyment?

……

Sterling slumped on the couch, disillusioned.

He didn't expect Richard's energy to reach such a level that the alliance spared no effort to help him.

What I didn't expect was that Stern and Xiao Hua were crazy to such an extent that they simply didn't leave him a way out.

He now felt a sense of helplessness in his heart like never before, and it seemed that he had completely lost control of the Clippers, and even lost the right not to sell it to Richard.

"Let's go, I know what to do." Sterling said with a sigh.

After Xiao Hua left, Sterling let out a long sigh.

The alliance did not do anything to leave him some leeway, because Ballmer and Richard both had the idea of getting involved in the Clippers, and when the time came, the two of them might make a lot of dollars by raising the price.

Now, although he promised the league to give Richard a chance to play fair, it does not mean that Richard can really buy the Clippers.

At least in Sterling's view, Richard is far less likely to win than Ballmer.

At the moment, the situation he wants to see most is that Ballmer uses money to smash Richard back, so that he can make a lot of money if he breathes out.

And what he didn't want to see was Richard's successful acquisition of the Clippers......

But even so, Sterling feels that Richard will definitely have to pay a very heavy price in the end, and he may not be able to smash the pot and sell iron.

Thinking of this, Sterling felt a lot more comfortable......

……

Richard and Stern waited in the car for less than fifteen minutes before Xiao Hua returned.

"Let's drive." Stern instructed the driver to drive away, but he didn't even ask Xiao Hua about the progress of the matter.

This is Stern's strong self-confidence, he is 100% sure that Sterling will give in, and if Sterling does not give in, he will definitely use thunderous measures against him.

Sterling is certainly not a fool to get to where he is today......

Richard looked confused, what is the situation now? Can someone tell me about it?

"Don't worry, Li, you have a chance to compete fairly, and that's all we can help."

"Whether you can win Ballmer in the competition or not is up to you." Xiao Hua sat in the co-pilot, turned his head and said to Richard with a smile.

Richard was overjoyed, he had been worried about Sterling before.

However, it is not that Richard cannot solve this matter, but it will be more troublesome.

Now Stern and Xiao Hua have really done a good thing and really cleared the first obstacle for themselves.

It is said that it is the first obstacle, but in fact, this is almost all the obstacles to Richard's acquisition of the Clippers, and the next time is to compete for financial resources.

What can be solved with money, it is definitely not a problem.

Anyway, Richard has the confidence to say such a thing right now......

But if he can spend less, Richard must want to spend less, otherwise it will be cheaper for the old fellow Sterling.

This afternoon, I will be with Paul Allen to meet Ballmer.

Naturally, Richard was trying to persuade Ballmer to withdraw from the competition......

If we can talk about it, then everyone will be happy.

If they can't talk, Richard will have to start throwing money at it to see if he or Ballmer is more determined to take the Clippers.

"It's hard work this time, even if I owe the alliance a favor, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will pay it back." Richard said to Stern with a smile.

The two laughed, and they wanted to send them both away? Richard was naïve......
