Chapter 1196 The Fanatical and Passionate Microsoft Boss
The "bidding meeting" related to the future ownership of the Clippers has come to the final stage.

The yellow boss and a thinner white boss raised prices and competed with each other.

The white man offered a price of 19 billion, which made the yellow man give up.

It seems that a new owner of the Clippers is about to be born.

"20 billion~!!"

But when the host was about to announce, a white man wearing a blue and pink plaid business shirt, with a bloated figure, about 180 centimeters taller, a Mediterranean hairstyle, and a sense of wisdom between his brows The middle-aged man, holding his number plate, completed a quotation that shocked the audience.

This one-time increase of 2000 million made the white boss lose his temper.

"20 billion~!!, is there more~?!"

"20 billion~?!"

the host asked.

The man in the plaid shirt nodded his head in a state of certainty, waiting for the moment when the result would be announced.

"Congratulations to this gentleman, the Clippers are yours~!"

Soon, the host announced the final result. The plaid shirt boss finally defeated all the "princes" and completed the acquisition of the Clippers for $20 billion.
The new owner of the Clippers was born.

"Crack, clap, crack!!!!"

Although willing to bow down, the bosses from all walks of life still stood up and sent blessing applause to the plaid shirt boss.

After all, being defeated by the boss with money is also a manifestation of strength.

Seeing this, Sterling's daughter also smiled knowingly, nodded and clapped.

Perhaps it is unfortunate to lose the Clippers, but being able to sell for $20 billion is already the best result for the Sterling family.

20 billion U.S. dollars, equivalent to more than 130 billion yuan, is simply astronomical.

While speaking, the plaid shirt tycoon was already accompanied by the staff, and left the venue together with Sterling's daughter and Sterling's lawyer.

"Congratulations~, Mr. Ballmer~"

"Thank you, I am very honored to be able to get the Clippers ~!"

The plaid shirt boss and Sterling's daughter shook hands and said.

It seems that this plaid shirt guy is called Ballmer.

If you are not very familiar with the appearance of the plaid shirt boss, then the name Ballmer must be familiar.

Especially if you are engaged in the Internet, then this name should be more familiar.

Then let me officially introduce the situation of the new owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.

This plaid shirt guy is called Steve Ballmer, a former top student at Harvard University, and former richest man in the world Bill Gates is his college classmate.

Gates invited Ballmer to participate in the creation of Microsoft, but Ballmer did not really participate in it, and Gates turned to cooperate with Paul Allen.

The latter two became the founders of Microsoft.

The income is also increasing day by day, becoming one of the richest people in the world.

Although Ballmer failed to become the founder of Microsoft, he later became the CEO of Microsoft, which made Ballmer completely flourish.

When Ballmer announced his retirement before, many American wealth survey companies assessed Ballmer's worth, which probably reached 135 billion US dollars.

For a person with $135 billion, it seems very easy to spend 20 billion to buy a team.

And the reason why Ballmer is so determined to win the Clippers also shows his determination to enter the sports circle.

After all, after retiring from Microsoft, Ballmer has been in a state of being idle at home.

For a very fanatical and action-oriented person like Ballmer, that kind of retirement life is obviously not suitable.

He likes a challenge, and now the challenge is in front of him.

At Microsoft, Ballmer succeeded. He made Microsoft the most profitable company in the world. I don't know if he will be able to succeed after joining the Clippers.

After completing the bidding, Ballmer quickly completed the transfer procedures with Sterling's daughter and relevant NBA staff.

next day~

"The Clippers officially changed hands~, the former Microsoft tycoon took over the Clippers~!!"

"A record $20 billion, Ballmer becomes the new owner of the Clippers~!!"

"The era of Sterling has officially come to an end, and the era of Ballmer has officially begun~!!"

All the mainstream media reported on it one after another.

Since the matter of changing the boss is already a certainty, there is nothing too surprising.

It was this astonishing transaction price that made the media dumbfounded.

You know, when the Bucks were listed for sale before, the final transaction price was 5.5 million US dollars, but now the Clippers' transaction price is nearly four times that of the Bucks, which is really terrifying.

But if you think about it carefully, owning a big market like Los Angeles, coupled with the Clippers' strong lineup and aggressive style of play, are all valuable assets, so if you think about it this way, maybe you won't have so much emotion .

Anyway, the $20 billion has already set a new record for NBA team transfers.

On the second day after officially becoming the owner of the Clippers, the team held a press conference for Ballmer.

Unlike ordinary press conferences, Ballmer's press conference should be more of Ballmer's speech, and there may be very few questions.

After all, as the former CEO of Microsoft, Ballmer's speech ability is absolutely top-notch.

As a person who dares to innovate, Ballmer did not put the press conference in the small lecture hall, but directly came to the Staples Center infield. In addition to the media, many Clippers fans also came to the venue Inside.

"Ballmer~!!"

"Ballmer~!!"

"Ballmer~!!"

After seeing Ballmer stepped onto the podium, more than 6000 fans standing in the stands shouted in unison.

Ballmer won over fans before he even did anything.

Perhaps $20 billion is enough to show Ballmer's importance to the team.

Ballmer, still in the blue and pink plaid shirt, picked up the microphone and was about to start his speech.

"Whoa~!!, Whoa~!!, Whoa~!!, all those who support the Clippers, there is a big guy coming to join you~!!"

Ballmer said with a very low status and a very amiable state.

"Yeah!!!"

The fans immediately cheered when they heard it.

There is a real difference between Ballmer's "people-friendly" state and Sterling's superior feeling.

"Once upon a time, I worked in a company called Microsoft and achieved some small achievements. While achieving achievements, I also knew how to succeed in a field. Although shopping malls and stadiums are not the same thing, the key to success The method is the same, I will bring the secret of success in Microsoft to the Clippers, I believe that the Clippers will complete their rise and win the world championship in the near future~!!!”

"Yeah!!!"
