I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 247 500 Million Has Been Landed (Fourth Change)

Min Congda opened the gray box, which was still a watch.

But instead of the previous $50 Patek Philippe, it was an ordinary Omega.

Omega is a brand that ordinary people can afford. Looking at the style and packaging, it is estimated that it can be done for a few thousand dollars.

Daddario said: "Don't you think the watch just now is too expensive? I also think it is too expensive, so I returned the Patek Philippe and bought an Omega. I hope you like it."

Min Congda looked at his watch and Daddario's sincere lake green eyes, feeling both moved and ashamed.

I don't want to accept Patek Philippe. To put it bluntly, I still feel inferior, and feel that the income is not worthy of the nobles in this expensive watch.

But actually?I, Min Cong Dagui, are the president and general manager of the Clippers. I will soon complete the bankruptcy of the Clippers, earn $3.6 million, and become a rich man.

Looking at the team's operation this summer, it is perfect. The 1200 yuan loss salary in the summer league has proved that he is on the right path.

Now that Daddario is giving him a 50 watch, why not return her a 500 million car in the future?
What are you afraid of? 500 million is not a piece of cake.

At the thought of 500 million, the Clippers' profit of 500 million last season weighed heavily on Min Congda's mind.

He kissed Daddario, and the two reconciled, wearing the watch on his wrist, which was fitting.

Looking at these thousands of dollars of watches, Min Congda thought to himself: "Actually, what's so bad about a 50-dollar watch? You bastard, don't want a 50-dollar watch. You must buy a 5000-dollar watch. If you can spend the Clippers' money, Just buy a 500 million watch. Something flashy like this can spend money without generating any income."

"Huh? Flashy things, what flashy things does the team have, like buying a watch, just spending money and no income?"

The watch suddenly gave Min Congda some inspiration.

In the past, watches were used to accurately calculate the time, and Swiss craftsmen made the mechanical technology to the extreme.

However, with the emergence of more sophisticated timekeeping tools such as electronic quartz watches and atomic clocks, a watch worth a few dollars is much more accurate than a watch worth tens of thousands of dollars, and the practical value of mechanical watches has declined sharply.

Now that everyone has mobile phones, watches are even more useless, and have become pure decorations and luxury goods.

But for a team, what can be useless and flashy?
Seeing that Min Congda was preoccupied, Daddario put his arms around him and asked him what he was thinking.

Min Congda expressed his doubts, and Daddario asked strangely: "Why does the team need flashy things?"

"Ugh...I wish the Clippers were cooler."

"Cooler?"

"Forget it, I don't want to. Come with me to the awards ceremony tomorrow. Come on, let's try on clothes together. Now, if you want to try on clothes, you must take off your clothes first, right?"

"No! I don't want to accompany you. Who am I to accompany you to the award ceremony?"

"Of course you are my girlfriend. I sincerely invite you to accompany me to attend the awarding ceremony of the Kennedy Best Citizen Award."

"You admit that I'm your girlfriend?"

"Yes. Of course, you don't have to admit that I'm your boyfriend, so I can live happily for a while..."

"Don't even think about it!"

Daddario threw Min Congda down directly, she didn't know why she was so fascinated by such a seemingly ordinary person.

She regretted it 5 minutes after driving away, and immediately went to return the Patek Philippe, exchanged for an Omega, and came to the hotel to find Min Congda.

Why?Daddario thought that it might be because she had seen too many flashy things, but found a lot of sincere and down-to-earth qualities in Smart. Those things made her feel at ease and gave her enough sense of security.

Min Congda is such a person who makes people feel safe.

The next day, the two attended the presentation of the Kennedy Best Citizen Award together.

In the press conference hall, Min Congda took the trophy from Stern.

Stern said: "We commend Mr. Smart Min for his contribution to youth basketball in Africa and other developing countries."

Min Congda smiled, but was actually very nervous, for fear that Stern would say: Mr. Smart decided to take the lead in donating another sum of money.

His entire face stiffened when he saw Adam Silva approaching with a smile on his face.

Silva, don't come here!What do you want to do!
Fortunately, Silva didn't ask Min Congda to donate money, but gave him a commemorative book.

Photos and related introductions of the activities of the African Youth Basketball Development Foundation in Cameroon are printed on it.

In the photo album, Min Congda saw the Cameroon boy who came to the Clippers to watch the game: Siakam.

This kid is only 15 years old, and he can already dunk. This African kid is very talented.

Seeing that the $5 he donated can take the lead in making such a contribution, Min Congda thought to himself and forgive you Silva.

Unexpectedly, Silva brought another piece of good news to Min Congda, really good news.

"By the way, Smart, a copyright fee of 5000 US dollars will be sent to your account, please remember to check it."

"Copyright fee? What copyright fee?"

Silva pointed to a logo on the cover of the commemorative book, and said, "The copyright fee for the design of the foundation logo."

The LOGO of the African Youth Basketball Development Fund is a basketball with several handprints on it, symbolizing the help of many people.

The prototype of this LOGO was printed on the basketball pattern by dipping ink in the hands of several founders including Min Congda at the inauguration ceremony.

This LOGO is a silhouette of that pattern, and the size and shape of the hands are replicas of several people's hands, so several people have copyright fees.

In terms of copyright, the United States does have very complete legislation. Even if it is a silhouette, even if it is an ordinary photo, the copyright fee must be paid.

Like the classic blue sky and grass wallpaper on the WindowsXP desktop, it is not a composite but a real photo.

Microsoft bought the rights to this photo for $200 million in order to use it as the default wallpaper.

Because the foundation is a public welfare non-profit organization, the copyright fee is not so high, and the US$5000 is equivalent to the design fee.

Min Congda, who donated 5 yuan, did not expect that he could get back 5000 yuan. What a surprise.

The mood improved a lot, and he shared the matter with Daddario. After hearing it, Daddario said: "Smart, I know what flashy things the basketball team has that can make the team look better." Cool."

"what?"

"Of course it's your team's LOGO. The NBA team's LOGO is really fancy and often changes."

What Daddario said made Min Congda wake up like a dream, yes, the team LOGO!

Why didn't he think of such a good place to spend money before?The 500 million is settled!
