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

Chapter 250 Changed, but not changed (second update)

Min Congda's goal is to spend the $250 million solidly while generating as little positive income as possible.

What are his positive benefits?
For example, use this incident as a gimmick to hype and increase traffic for the Clippers.

This is not enough, the Clippers had enough traffic last season, and the pre-sale of season tickets this season has given Min Congda a headache.

At that time, because of the LOGO collection, there will be another wave of fans buying season tickets to watch the game. The finances will not be able to bear it, and the cash will be too abundant.

Therefore, Min Congda decisively cut off Ruiqielai's marketing expenses, making him unable to perform.

In addition, the LOGO logo design is so good that it is very brilliant, which makes the Clippers' peripherals sell well.

The jersey style and LOGO design still have a great influence on the fans' purchase of jerseys.

After all, in addition to looking at the star number when buying jerseys, it is also very important whether the jersey design is handsome and cool.

Like the Clippers, except for Curry's No. 30 jersey, which sells well, the sales of other jerseys can only be said to be a pile of shit.

Because whether they are home jerseys, away jerseys, or retro jerseys, they don't look good.

Red and blue alone are very classic sportswear colors, but they are very common when combined on the Clippers.

Except for the die-hard fans who come to watch the game, among the fans who play on the street, very few wear Clippers jerseys.

Their jersey design, from color to style, is too unrecognizable and not cool at all.

If you accidentally come up with a cool logo and jersey design this time, causing the surrounding area to become popular, then the money will be wasted again.

250 million US dollars, you can earn it back by selling peripherals for one season.

In order to avoid such a positive effect, Min Congda had to choose a mediocre design.

It seems that the LOGO has been changed, but it seems that it has not been changed. If you say it looks good, it’s okay, but if you say it’s not good-looking, it’s not too much.

Min Congda wanted to choose an ugly one, but firstly he was afraid that the topic would skyrocket because it was too ugly, and secondly, Min Congda himself would feel sorry for looking at the ugly logo all day long.

"It must be mediocre, mediocre, mediocre is the least topical. Fans will not buy because of good looks, nor will they scold because of ugly, as if nothing happened. Forgot, this is the best. Then the 250 million was spent out of nowhere..."

Min Congda was muttering in his heart, while looking at the submitted LOGO samples one by one in front of the computer.

Some not only have sample pictures, but also come with instructions to show what the connotation of such a design has.

For example, there is a simple design that uses the letter C to wrap LA, and Min Congda was selected as a candidate.

Mediocrity, very mediocrity, the introduction said that this reflects that the Clippers are a united team, C stands for Clippers, and LA is in it, indicating that the Clippers fully embrace the city of Los Angeles.

Min Congda thought to himself, what kind of bullshit connotation is this? Los Angeles accepts your Clippers almost as well, and the international metropolis needs your hug?
But it was such a bullshit logo that entered Min Congda's pre-selection plan.

His concern is that such an ugly LOGO will cause fans to complain.

Seeing the 79th plan all the time, Min Congda felt that his eyes were almost blind, and there were a lot of plans behind.

After all, the remuneration of 250 million US dollars is too attractive at first, and it is estimated that design companies all over Los Angeles want to get involved.

As soon as Min Congda opened the 79th plan, he felt a little strange and thought: "Which idiot just copied and sent the Clippers' current LOGO?"

He was about to turn it off and read the next one, when he suddenly felt something was wrong. The LOGO sent seemed to be the same as the previous one, but it seemed different.

Min Congda took out the old LOGO for comparison, and immediately understood it. He slapped his thigh and said, "Absolutely! Isn't this exactly what I'm looking for, the LOGO that has been changed and hasn't been changed!"

It turned out that the Clippers' previous LOGO was a red basketball with blue text inlaid inside.

This LOGO is to change the red basketball to blue, and the blue text to red.

Everything else hasn't changed at all, it has changed, but it hasn't changed.

Seeing such a genius design, Min Congda knew that he already had the plan he wanted.

Min Congda thought to himself: "Why didn't I think of such a genius idea? I thought of it earlier, I contributed the manuscript myself, and I got the 250 million US dollars myself."

Such an idea was naturally warned by the system and ruthlessly rejected.

With such a good plan, there is no need to look at the others.

Min Congda pulled down the email and looked at the sender's information.

It was found that this person did not leave his real name, only a series of phone numbers.

It seems to be a personal designer, not a company or studio.

This made Min Congda a little embarrassed. If he came up with such an idea personally, would he be able to be responsible for other logos and jersey designs besides the LOGO?
"Damn, you're worried about the yarn. When the time comes, the other logos and jerseys will also change colors like this, won't it be over?"

After figuring this out, Min Congda took out his mobile phone and called the number left in the mailbox.

As a result, the phone rang for a long time, but no one answered it, so Min Congda called again, thinking that this is a call from the God of Wealth, and if you don't answer it, it will be the biggest regret in your life.

After the phone rang seven or eight times, it was finally connected, and a rough voice came from the opposite side: "Who are you and what do you want? I'm working!"

When Min Congda heard it, he turned out to be an office worker. Okay, after answering this call, you don't have to go to work, lucky guy.

"Hello, I'm Smart Min, the general manager of the Los Angeles Clippers. I want to tell you good news. The new logo of the Los Angeles Clippers you designed has been selected and won the bid. Congratulations, you will receive $250 million contract to complete the design."

After Min Congda finished speaking, he screamed wildly or cried loudly, waiting for the surprise on the other side.

As a result, the other side was stunned for a few seconds and asked, "The LOGO designed by the Los Angeles Clippers? When did it happen? When did I design it?"

Min Congda thought, did I make a wrong call?Checked the phone number, yes.

"A week ago, the Clippers issued a $250 million bid for a new LOGO. Have you forgotten? Your design is impressive. You changed the red ball to a blue ball, and the blue letter to a red letter. Do you remember? "

When Min Congda said this, the other party seemed to remember.

"Oh, I remembered, I just... I just changed it casually..."

"Genius ideas always come from random moves. Congratulations, $250 million is yours. Come to Staples when we meet and sign the contract."

The voice on the other side was slightly agitated, but not particularly agitated.

"Okay, then today, after I get off work. Are you the manager of the Clippers, Smart?"

"Yeah, what's your name?"

"Kanye, Kanye West."

Kanye West?It feels a little familiar, but I can't remember who it is.

I don’t know, whoever he is, the one who can make such a design is also a 250.

"West, where do you work? When can you come after get off work? I leave work very early."

"Um... I'm an intern at Fendi, and I come in after get off work at 5:[-]."

The young man is still an intern, so you don't have to go to work in the future, just go home with the money and have fun secretly.
