Chapter 746

After the draft convention, old Nelson was excited.

In tonight's draft conference, golden dragon, as the boss, naturally didn't come. Generally speaking, there are very few bosses in the draft conference, except for such wonderful flowers as Richard or Cuban

Old Nelson has three rookies tonight. According to Richard, all three are All-Star or quasi All-Star players.

It's strange that old Nelson is not happy that a draft conference has so many high-quality newcomers.

Now Nelson really knows that the team led by Richard Richard can be so strong, with such a strong talent selection ability, it is difficult to think about it.

Unsurprisingly, their warriors will begin their initial rise in the next two years.

……

After returning to Los Angeles from New York, Richard received a call from stern.

The content of the phone call is very simple, that is to let Richard go to the headquarters in New York in a week, and then offer Los Angeles express together with other competitors. The alliance management committee will select the high bidder to let him own the express ship.

Generally speaking, it's like a bidding meeting, in which all competitors bid, and finally the higher one gets.

Stern didn't elaborate on the specific rules, so Richard didn't know much about them.

However, he has sufficient confidence in his financial resources. As long as he does not exceed $2 billion, he will never shrink back.

It is also unlikely to exceed $2 billion, unless these competitors are all behind the scenes.

……

A week later, Richard and sun Xiaoben appeared in New York headquarters.

There may not be many competitors, so stern called the crowd to his office directly.

Stern's office is undoubtedly quite spacious. There are about ten people sitting in it at the moment, but they don't feel overwhelmed.

Although there are more than ten people, in fact, Richard's real competitors are only three.

That is to say, with Richard in mind, there are only four competitors for the Clippers.

Richard's side.

Magic Johnson and the consortium behind him.

Bragging about dad and the consortium behind him.

The last competitor was somewhat unexpected. He didn't expect him to come.

Larry Exxon with the Silicon Valley Playboy nickname.

This is a real prodigal. Stirling is nothing to him

Sterling is just a sneaky old guy, while Exxon likes to ride dozens of boats, is arrogant, enjoys and squanders.

As the founder of Oracle, the world's second largest software company, Exxon is naturally entitled to enjoy and squander.

Richard remembers that under normal circumstances, when Ballmer acquired clipper, the main competitor was Exxon

Maybe that's why Ballmer made $2 billion.

Microsoft is undoubtedly the world's largest software company. In the competition with Oracle, as the president of Microsoft, Ballmer doesn't want to admit defeat, so he raised the price to that point.

……

"Well, since we are all here, let's start." Stern announced that he would help the Clippers choose a new owner in the next short period of time.

The crowd nodded and waited for Stern's further instructions.

"Let's start with Mr. Comus and talk about your intention offer. Of course, this is not the final offer. After listening to the offers from other countries, you can raise the price again if you think it's OK." Stern said with a smile.

Richard nodded, knowing that this time it was more like an auction than a bid.

What Stern said about Mr. Comus is actually bragging about his father. His original name is Sean Comus.

Now stern offers to brag about his father's offer, which also shows Stern's attitude. He doesn't want to let Comus get involved in the Clippers very much.

Boasting about his investment in many industries, but his value is actually the least of all the people on site. At present, his total value is only about 400 million dollars

Stern didn't want the League to be equal to these hip-hop Street cultures when he was carrying out the dress code. Now he naturally doesn't want to boast that his father is in the fast boat.

"800 million dollars." Bragging father frowned and said.

This is not his final offer, of course, but it is not far from his final offer. The limit he and the consortium behind him can bear now is one billion dollars.

Richard and Exxon smile a little, and dare to talk for 800 million dollars?

"Mr. Johnson, please tell me your offer." Stern looked at the magician again.

Stern is very clear that the magician and the braggart dad are just a handful. The auction is still up to Richard and Exxon.

The magician didn't expect stern to make a second offer. In his opinion, he is a famous NBA player. Should stern take care of himself?"900 million dollars." Magic Johnson raised the bragging price by 100 million.

Although stern didn't have any expression on his face, he was also firm in his mind, that is, the magician and the braggart dad came to count

It's too small to buy clippers for less than a billion dollars?

"Mr. Exxon, what's your offer?" Stern looked at Larry Exxon again.

He doesn't understand why Exxon is interested in NBA teams. The Playboy hasn't heard about his interest in sports. He is more interested in some entertainment industries. After all, there are many beauties in the entertainment industry

"Do you want to know more beautiful women in Los Angeles with the clipper as a springboard?" Stern thought in silence.

The whole old beauty, or simply look at the whole world, which city has the most beautiful women, is undoubtedly Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is the largest entertainment city in the world. Countless dream girls from all over the world gather in Los Angeles. A brick falling from the sky may kill several female models

That's why some players have to break their heads to go to Los Angeles even if they suffer a little loss in salary.

Exxon wants to buy clipper now. Stern doesn't believe that if he doesn't have such an idea.

"1.3 billion dollars." Said Exxon with a smile.

He raised $400 million directly from the magician's offer, which seems to be a must for the Clippers.

The magician and the braggart Dad were stunned. That's $1.3 billion? It seems that the two of them came to New York today, which is a complete foil.

How can they compete with Exxon because their ultimate offer is less than $1.3 billion.

Richard was also tangled in his heart. Exxon broke his plan.

Richard had estimated that 1.3 billion US dollars would be able to buy the clipper, but he didn't expect Exxon to be so bold, so he quoted 1.3 billion US dollars.

Stern looked at Richard. "Lee, it's time for you to make an offer."

Richard pondered for a moment and finally said, "1.5 billion!"

Richard is more ruthless. He directly raised the price to a level, reaching the point of 1.5 billion US dollars!

The reason for the direct increase of $200 million offer, rather than the Exxon offer, is that Richard naturally has his own consideration.

Exxon is quite arrogant. If his price is raised too little, maybe Exxon will feel teased.

If Exxon's anger was aroused, it would not be a good thing for Richard.

It's not an auction bridge in a fantasy novel. The protagonist can raise the price of a piece of Lingshi, and finally the price is raised to a high price and the villain is trapped

If Richard did this, Exxon would be able to compete with Richard. It's hard to say how much the price would be raised in the end.

Exxon has the financial resources to fight Richard. As the boss of the world's second largest software company, Exxon's financial resources are undoubtedly strong.

If Richard is not necessary for the fast ship, it doesn't matter. Exxon's name is 1.3 billion and his name is 1.31 billion. Play with Exxon slowly. Even if he really enrages Exxon, it's not a big deal. After a while, Richard, like the smart protagonists in the fantasy novels, just quit the competition

But now it's definitely not. Richard showed his strong determination directly to all the people on the scene.

1.5 billion US dollars is more than twice the premium of the market value of the clipper. Stern looked at Richard strangely. It's no wonder that this kid can go to this point. Otherwise, at least this courage is extremely outstanding.

One side of the magician and bragging father two people blinked, speechless looking at Richard.

Richard's offer basically wiped out the hope of getting the Clippers.

1.5 billion? What are you kidding about? Can the clipper really be worth so much money? Richard is not afraid to buy it and smash it in his own hands?

From this moment on, they were in complete despair, knowing that the clipper had no chance with them.

Just now, Exxon's $1.3 billion, they bite their teeth, sell some industries, and the consortia behind them can give more support.

But when the price reaches 1.3 billion US dollars, they dare not sell at all. This risk is too great.

Now the price has soared to 1.5 billion US dollars, they naturally give up hope completely.

Exxon looked at Richard curiously, 1.5 billion dollars? It was totally out of his expectation.

1.3 billion US dollars is the limit of his quotation. The reason why he quoted this price is that the Playboy had an appointment with a girl in New York and didn't want to waste time here

So I gave my own limit price when I came up. If I can make it, I'll take the clipper. If I can't, I won't waste time.Now Richard's $1.5 billion offer has completely lost his interest in continuing to offer.

How else can I report it? 1.6 billion? A fool would spend 1.6 billion dollars to buy a clipper

At least Exxon didn't want to be such a fool.

If Richard knew that Exxon's ultimate offer was 1.3 billion, he would spit blood, which would cost him more than 100 million dollars

But even if he knew it, he probably wouldn't care. He could accept the clipper with 1.5 billion dollars.

After Richard quoted a price of 1.5 billion dollars, the room was once in silence.

"The first round of quotation is over. Let's start the second round..." Stern said with a smile.

"At present, Richard's offer is the highest. Is there any higher offer than him?"

The room was silent for five seconds, and finally Exxon cleared his throat.

"Congratulations, Li!"

"The clipper is yours. If you have a chance, let's take a moment to talk. I think we should have a lot of cooperation opportunities."

"I left first, and the girl was waiting for me." After Exxon said that, he stood up and left Stern's office directly.

The magician and the braggart Dad were embarrassed. Exxon actually crossed them directly and began to congratulate Richard!

Is he so sure they can't afford $1.5 billion?!

Well, it can't be taken out

"Congratulations, Li." Boasting, Dad smiled and congratulated Richard. Although he was eager to take the clipper, now he is not as rich as others and has no way to deal with it.

"Congratulations, Li, if the new clipper needs management, I think I'd be happy to go to the clipper." Johnson, the magician, said in a half joking tone.

Let's not say that the magician wanted to join the Clippers at the first time after Richard just quoted us $1.5 billion.

Of course, he didn't play for Richard, but joined the Clippers as the president of the team

The relationship between the Lakers and the clippers is not good, but it can not be said that they are rivals of the city. Many famous Lakers have served as the management of the Clippers.

The most famous one is Elgin Baylor, who was president of clipper basketball when Richard first joined the league.

And the future logo man also joined the clipper

Now it's quite normal that Magic Johnson wants to come to the clipper.

It's just that Richard can't agree with the magician. He's joking. The strength of the goods on the court is not enough, but the ability of the team's operation is just scum.

I'm afraid that more than 200 magician Johnson can't compare with a logo man. It's strange that Richard can let magicians come to his own team. It's just because he's full. He's OK.

Besides, Richard doesn't think his team needs any president of basketball affairs. Who is more suitable for the position?
