The Point Guard is Here

Three hundred and twenty-one: God bless the cheapskate

Jerry Buss felt suffocated.

There was an uproar from the surrounding reporters and the multi-millionaire billionaires who were watching.

The scene was chaotic.

This is equivalent to a prostitute who is famous all over the city claiming that she is an original product.

Sterling's stinginess is well-known in the entire rich circle. No one can make money from him, not even the women lying in his bed.

But now, he actually wants to offer little Jack the largest contract in NBA history, worth 135 million US dollars, and he doesn't even frown.

Fanci, his manager, Madonna, and Fanler were all shocked by this number.

They thought they would get a very high contract, but 135 million, Sterling gave too much.

Delphine, a wealthy lady who is accustomed to the world, couldn't help but ask him: Are you serious?

Of course! You can sign the contract right away.

Sterling said excitedly and excitedly. He enjoyed this atmosphere that impressed everyone. Although everyone knows that he is passionate and angry.

Elgin, you come here immediately with the contract and call a lawyer. Every word I say has legal effect. The Lakers can be without a point guard, but Los Angeles cannot lose little Jack!

Sterling said loudly into the phone.

This miser...is serious.

Jerry Buss let out a long sigh, and the look he looked at Fan Xi turned into a kind of desire, a desire that clearly showed that he was a capitalist but with strong humanistic feelings. He hoped that Fan Xi would sign his share of 78 million US dollars. contract, even though Sterling, the bastard, offered $135 million.

At this time, Fanci said something that surprised everyone: Mr. Sterling, thank you very much for being so generous. However, my brothers Charles Barkley and Dell Curry also want to join the same team as me. Since you are so open and honest, I have to be open and honest with you about this matter.”

Sterling is on a roll.

After hearing this, he quickly said to Elgin Baylor: Show us the greatest sincerity and sign Barkley and Dell Curry. Listen, the next new captain of Los Angeles is Jack, and we have to listen to him on signings.

When Sterling said this, his old friend Jerry Buss thought that he was definitely high. Otherwise, how could he say something so contrary to his humanity?

This is a farce, Jerry Buss said afterward.

At this time, Sterling and Fan Xi's family had already left the scene.

Jerry Buss, who has known Sterling Donald for decades, told the media: Sterling will wake up soon. He can't be in this kind of limelight. He is not James Jr. in New York City. Lan, every money he earned was earned by himself.

This sentence was affirmed by everyone present.

Who in Los Angeles doesn’t know that Sterling Donald is a Grandet.

To be honest, Fan Xi was also doubtful about this fantastic contract.

However, he also felt that Sterling's mental state was abnormal.

However, as Fanshee had just stepped into his luxury car, hesitating whether to cancel his flight to San Francisco, he got a call from Elgin Baylor.

Then, they found a nearby hotel and rented a small conference room, and then Delphine and Elgin Baylor negotiated the contract.

During negotiations, Elgin Baylor turned off his cell phone.

Obviously, this is intentional.

Baylor knows his boss all too well.

He now has the Sword of Shang Fang. Sterling claimed on TV that he would spend 135 million US dollars to sign Little Jack. It would be useless even if he regrets it later. Of course, the most important thing now is... to quickly turn this contract into reality.

Delphine is a shrewd girl, she saw through Elgin Belle's ambition.

Therefore, the details of the contract were finalized very smoothly, even exceptionally smoothly.

The total amount of this contract is still 7 years and 135 million US dollars, but Fanshi has the right to choose to jump out of the contract in the fifth and sixth years. Of course, he can also choose to continue to implement this contract.

Baylor agreed unconditionally.

He is not a manager with rational thinking. He wants to do something big now. Save money for your boss? nonexistent!

Sterling finally got the upper hand and acted generously. He will definitely seize the opportunity to make great contributions.

The contract took less than 2 hours to finalize and sign.

Neither side is sloppy.

By the way, Delphine also connected through the phone to help Charles Barkley sign a four-year contract worth 22 million U.S. dollars, and Dell Curry, a three-year contract worth 6 million U.S. dollars (this was considered a full contract in the mid-1990s). For the middle class, think about Pippen's contract.)

After getting all this done, both Delphine and Elgin Belle breathed a sigh of relief.

Neither Fan Xi nor Delphina expected that after going around and around, they would still stay in Los Angeles, and stay with the Clippers.

And it takes such a dramatic turn.

This is so dreamy.

However, the contract is real.

Moreover, the Clippers will deposit money into Jack's bank account every week. As the youngest Finals MVP winner in history, he is now the player with the largest contract in NBA history. The total amount of this contract will be difficult to break for at least ten years, because starting next year, with the further regulation of the labor agreement , there will no longer be a seven-year contract.

Just like Michael Jordan's annual salary of $30.14 million in the 1996-97 season, it was not broken by Kobe Bryant until 17 years later.

Captain Jack, the Clippers will be counting on you next! Elgin Baylor held Fan Xi's hand firmly after the signing was completed.

This legendary star who dominated the league during his playing days has been criticized after entering his management career. Now he finally places all his hopes on Fanshie, hoping that Fanchy can help him.

Fanshi stared into Elgin Baylor's serious and solemn eyes. At this moment, he realized that he had a great responsibility.

He had always wanted to be the leader of a team and take full responsibility. Now, he finally got his wish, and huge pressure was on his shoulders.

He reached out and patted the back of Elgin Baylor's hand, and said in an extremely affirmative tone: I am here to prove myself. I will also get the third championship ring and the third finals MVP trophy.

Elgin heard this and smiled.

Then, he was willing to turn on his mobile phone.

At this time, Delphine appropriately reminded everyone: If the Rockets match this contract, this contract will be void and Jack will still have to return to Houston.

Of course, this reminder is redundant.

How is it possible? Alexander is even stingier than our boss. Elgin Baylor said with a smile.

Then, his cell phone rang.

He showed a weird smile and said to Fan Xi and Delphine: My boss called.

Fan Xi raised her eyebrows.

He and Delphine left the conference room.

How to explain this matter to the payer has nothing to do with Fan Xi, the payee.

Sterling Donald is a pragmatic person. Even if a pragmatic person is impulsive, he will quickly return to reality.

Sterling took a breath of fresh air in his limousine and calmed down before he got home. At this time, there was overwhelming news on the car radio, saying that the Clippers owner personally promised to spend an unprecedented 135 million US dollars to sign Jack, and he would definitely keep Jack in Los Angeles...

Sterling didn't feel anything at first.

When he realized that he had only spent $1,250 to buy the Clippers, he began to regret why he was so old.

However, he was fortunate that it was night and not working hours. Elgin Baylor and the others should not be working so fast.

So he sent a text message to Baylor, hoping Baylor would stop.

However, no reply was received.

He thought Baylor might have fallen asleep.

However, fifteen minutes later, he felt uneasy again, started to make calls and turned off his phone.

Then fight again! Or shut down.

It took his seventh call to get Elgin Baylor through.

Hey, Elgin. Were you asleep just now? I'm telling you now, forget what I said before and ignore what the media is reporting? Don't worry about me making a fool of myself, you know me, even if the money is stained with dirt, I will also carefully put it into my exquisite leather bag. Because the leather bag can be cleaned, but the money is gone once it is missed...

Sterling expressed his views anxiously and clearly.

Belle waited patiently for him to finish, and then replied gracefully: Sir, I want to tell you two pieces of good news.

Sterling's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, What's the good news?

The first good news is that the youngest Finals MVP in history, Mr. Jack Fan, has become our new captain. Just as you expected.

What? ?

Sterling felt like he was suffocating, and he quickly asked: You signed a contract with him?

However, the contract has not been fully signed yet. If the Rockets owner matches the $135 million contract you offered, we will still miss out on him.

Belle said regretfully.

Sterling stretched out his hand to pinch his own man, and he told the assistant next to him: Call Alexander in Houston immediately and be sure to ask him to keep little Jack.

Then, he asked Baylor: What is the second good news you said?

We only spent $22 million to sign regular season MVP Mr. Charles Barkley. He will dedicate his talent and talents to us for the next four years. This is simply exciting. We have a player who can compete with O'Neal. Fat man, we only spent almost one-sixth of the Lakers' money.

Baylor said happily: In fact, we also signed a super marksman, who extremely embarrassed Michael Jordan in the Finals.

Sterling was already lying straight on the sofa.

He felt hopeless.

He wanted to lose his temper, and he wanted to scold Elkin Belle: Why is your special lady who is not active. Today I am a little bit, and you quickly do the work!

However, he was so angry that he could not speak. The basketball commentators on the TV were all mocking him: Donald had been stingy all his life, and he was not even willing to pay the $1,000 that fans paid to participate in the betting game, but he actually gave it to little Jack. 135 million US dollars... This may be the first contract that Donald has signed in his life that is unfair to him, and for this contract, he has been stingy all his life.

Little Jack is true love!

Snapped!

Sterling turned off the television and hung up the phone.

Then, his assistant told him that the call to Alexander had gone through.

He quickly gathered his last energy and said to Alexander: ...Jack is really a good player. He has made great contributions to Houston. Don't you plan to keep him?

Alexander over there is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He is the only person in the NBA who is stingier than Sterling.

He said: Mr. Sterling, you are really the most generous person I have ever met. Do you know? The contract I originally prepared for little Jack was less than a fraction of what you gave me. But, you are so generous, I thank you on behalf of little Jack, and thank you on behalf of all Houston fans. You provided our Finals MVP with the highest-paying job in history. But I obviously do not have the ability, and I am afraid that I will go bankrupt...

Snapped!

Sterling hung up the phone and smashed the phone into pieces.

It’s over!

It’s over!

His heart is like a knife, and he has been calculating carefully all his life. In the end, he destroyed everything in one go. The money he has saved over the years may not be 135 million US dollars, but now it is all left to little Jack.

He rolled on the sofa and lay there for a while, then said to his assistant: How much money do you think we will lose by signing little Jack?

The assistant is a shrewd man who graduated from Harvard Business School.

He said: Little Jack is one of the most influential stars in the league today, second only to Michael Jordan. His commercial value is very high. I believe that after he joins, our ticket sales will explode, and there will be some Sponsors come in. If we can make the playoffs and get to the back of the pack... we shouldn't lose too much. We might even have a chance to make money, if we win a championship.

Moreover, if the team's record is good, the market value will also increase. When the time comes, you just sell the team, isn't it the same? Anyway, the salary then will not be paid by you.

As soon as the assistant said this, Sterling was happy.

yes!

Why didn't I think of that?

When the market value of the team goes up, I bought it for 12.5 million U.S. dollars and resold it for 200 million U.S. dollars. Wouldn’t I make a lot of money? As for Little Jack's contract, let the next boss worry about it!

Sterling was in a much happier mood.

He felt like he should be able to fall asleep.

So, he got up and walked upstairs, saying as he walked: Don't show me basketball news recently, I can't bear it!

Sterling is mentally prepared.

He knew all too well what the media would say.

Because in any case, little Jack is not worth 135 million US dollars. This unprecedented contract will definitely make him, Grandet, endure unprecedented ridicule.

Of course, things won't be easy for little Jack either.

Those who cannot eat the grapes will rush towards him like a red-eyed beast.

Hope he can hold on.

Sterling prayed to God, and he also expected Fanshie to increase the market value of the Clippers.
