Chapter 122: 55 million!

How much can the Clippers sell for? This is what Sterling cares about the most now.

"Mr. Sterling should have bought the Clippers for $12.5 million."

Sterling nodded.

Everyone knows this, and it is useless to deny it yourself. Since it is useless, then admit it generously.

"The Clippers did not achieve any good results in the past three years, but the Clippers' market value is also rising, so we are planning to buy your shares for 50 million," Clyde said.

Strand's face turned a little red at this time. The Clippers' performance in the past three years is indeed not very good, and it is even worse than before he took over. Although Sterling doesn't care about this, he still blushed when others talk in front of him.

After all, this is not such a glorious thing.

The Clippers did not get rid of the name of the bottom team in their own hands. I also knew this, but I had so much to do with it, as long as I could create profits for myself, even if the Clippers were the last in the league, I didn't care.

However, when he heard Clyde say he bought the shares of the Clippers for 50 million yuan, Sterling's face immediately pulled down.

"Sir, I won't sell 50 million." Sterling said loudly.

"Then how much do you think the Clippers in your hands are worth?" Clyde asked with a frown.

Not to mention, in Sterling's hands, the Clippers are not worth anything at all because the Clippers are too trash. You should know that the entire Clippers are only worth about 80 million US dollars, while strong teams like the Lakers and Celtics are both worth about 200 million US dollars. This is the difference.

The Celtics and the Lakers are both the best teams in the league and the two teams with the most championships. They are considered the spine of the league.

Clyde was very confused about why the boss didn't buy a team like the Lakers, but wanted to buy a junk team like the Clippers. You should know that in the league, there is no team that is more junk than the Clippers.

Not only Clyde doesn't understand, but even Jason doesn't understand why the boss is interested in such a team that can't even rank in the top ten in the league. How could they know that Lin Yu wants to create a legend in the NBA?

It has to be said that it is very difficult to make a bottom team in the league, and at least the team has insufficient foundation.

However, although I didn't understand the boss's idea, the two of them still resolutely carried out the boss's task.

Hearing Clyde's question, Sterling said toughly: "70 million US dollars."

Clyde couldn't believe his ears: "How many?"

"70 million US dollars," Sterling said again.

Clyde couldn't believe his ears, $70 million? The entire Clippers are worth less than $100 million. The old man wanted to eat 70 million by himself. The lion's mouth is too big.

"Mr. Sterling, are you sure you are talking about $70 million?" Clyde confirmed again.

Sterling nodded and said, "Yes, sir, I don't think I'm alzheimer's disease yet."

You don't have Alzheimer's disease? I think you're in your brain and defecate. Clyde thought hatefully.

"Well, Mr. Sterling, good luck!" After saying that, Clyde was about to turn around and leave.

Seeing Clyde turn around and leave, Sterling was stunned.

"Mr. Clyde, don't you want to buy the Clippers?"

Clyde turned around and looked at Sterling, shrugged and said with a smile: "Mr. Sterling, your offer makes us feel very insincere. I think there must be many people in the league who want to sell the team, so we still have many choices."

Sincerity? Bullshit! Sterling cursed in his heart.

If you hadn't attacked my other industries, I would have sat here to talk to you about the Clippers?

But despite thinking so in my heart, Sterling said with a forced smile: "Oh, dear Mr. Clyde, making a deal is to find a balance between us. I think we can still do this."

Clyde smiled, knowing that the stingy old man in front of him would definitely not let him go.

"Mr. Sterling, our boss said that we will pay up to 55 million US dollars for the shares in your hands. I think you should be satisfied with this price."

55 million? Although Sterling was satisfied with the price, he still said: "Mr. Clyde, $60 million cannot be reduced."

While speaking, he made a heartache expression.

Seeing Sterling's pretending expression, Clyde sneered in his heart. This old guy pretended quite like that.

However, he still smiled and said, "Mr. Sterling, you have to know that after we buy the Clippers, we will rebuild the Clippers. This money will not be less, so 55 million US dollars is our bottom line."

When Sterling heard the other party say this, he asked with a glimmer of hope: "Can I keep some shares?"

Clyde shook his head and said, "No, no, Mr. Sterling, what our boss wants is a full acquisition, so we don't plan to release the shares."

Hearing Clyde say this, Sterling nodded disappointedly and said in a depressed manner: "Well, sir, 55 million, I will transfer all my shares to you."

Clyde nodded, then a sincere smile appeared on his face, reached out to Sterling, and said with a smile: "Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!" Sterling reluctantly shook hands with Clyde.

It would be strange if you can be happy!

Regardless of his reluctance, Sterling still sold the team that was bullshit in his hands. Although the team created a lot of value for him, he did not make the team achieve any good results.

"Sir, when will we go through the procedures?" Aitling asked.

Since it is no longer my own, then finish this matter quickly to save yourself the pain of seeing it.

"I think if you have time now, we can go through the relevant procedures now."

On December 28, 1983, just after Christmas, the Alliance received a letter from the owner of the Clippers.

The Clippers changed hands.

This news did not attract much attention in the league. Most teams do not pay attention to the weak team like the Clippers. If the Clippers want to become a strong team, they must make a decision to push the reconstruction. However, pushing the reconstruction must cost too much money, and not many bosses are willing to pay so much money.

You should know that it costs nearly US$50 million to control the Clippers team alone, and then rebuild the team, it will cost nearly US$20 million to achieve it. With nearly 70 million of funds, you can buy a strong team in the NBA. Of course, the premise is that someone needs to sell it.

Although the change of ownership of the Clippers did not attract the attention of the league, many Los Angeles Clippers fans seemed very happy. Before Sterling became the owner of the Clippers, although the Clippers had a poor score, they could still make the playoffs sometimes. However, after Sterling bought the Clippers, the Clippers had hardly entered the playoffs, and their results declined repeatedly. Although this season has not been finished, the team's current results have determined that the team cannot enter the playoffs.

For Sterling, the Clippers fans are disgusted, and the stingy old man is also the nickname given to this stingy guy by fans.

After signing the contract with Sterling, Clyde called Lin Yu to report the news.

Lin Yu listened to the news coming from Clyde and said happily: "This stingy old man has done something right."

When Evra and Sophia saw Lin Yu's happy look, they were a little funny and curious.

Evra has persuaded Sophia to move here too since Christmas, so that after Lin Yu left, the house would not look so deserted. Of course, this was just what Evra said, but she didn't know what she was thinking.

Lin Yu didn't have much objection to this. He and Ev held the bedroom before his parents. When Sophia came, she could live in the bedroom of her original bedroom or clean up another bedroom.

However, Lin Yu originally thought that Sophia would not agree to live here, but unexpectedly, she agreed. The room she chose was the bedroom Lin Yu had before, which made Lin Yu a little surprised.

"Lin, what's the pleasure of laughing so happily?" Sophia walked over and asked curiously.

"Haha, Clyde just called and said that he had bought the shares of the Clippers in Sterling's hands. All that was left were the stock market and some shares in the hands of other shareholders." Lin Yu said with a smile.

"Born it? So fast?" Sophia was a little surprised.

"Yes, I didn't expect to buy the Clippers so soon. Haha, it's better to get early, so there's plenty of time to trade." Lin Yu said.

For Jordan, Lin Yu had to sign, so buying the Clippers early gave Lin Yu plenty of time to trade with the Trail Blazers.

You know, the Trail Blazers drew the second pick in this draft, and the No. 1 pick was destined to be the Rockets. Lin Yu really wanted to exchange the No. 1 pick with the Rockets, but the Rockets would definitely not be willing. The Rockets also hope to select good players this draft.

Facts have also proved that the Rockets chose the great center forward Olajuwon in history. This big man who brought two championships to the Rockets is destined to be a blessing for the Rockets.

However, the premise is that those two years were the two years when Jordan launched the league.

This time, Lin Yu doesn't plan to give the Rockets another chance. The more honors of the championship are for the Clippers, the better. Only in this way, when people mention the NBA, they will not be the Lakers or Celtics, but the Clippers.

Yes, this is what Lin Yu wants. When he wants everyone to mention NBA, he will be the first to think of Jordan and the first to think of the Clippers.
