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

Chapter 576 China Speed
When Ada hurried into the office one morning in March and told Min Congda that "something happened in the Huawei Center", Min Congda had only one thought in mind:
"I finally waited for this day!"

A large project like the Huawei Center, without any problems, is really sorry for its cost of more than one billion yuan and its huge and advanced design scale.

From the foundation laying, design, and start of construction, Huawei Center has encountered many problems, which must be inevitable for such a large project.

Previously, because the arena was too large, there was a lot of difficulty in the construction, which made the early progress of the center quite slow.

Even the problem of partial structural redesign began to appear early on, which caused quite a headache for the construction party.

However, Min Congda showed extraordinary patience and an extremely generous and open-minded attitude during the construction process.

Anyway, if you do it slowly, slowly, the money must be enough, and the construction period must not be in a hurry.

In order to realize the promise to the district councilors, this project also recruited a large number of black workers in the Inglewood area, allowing them to participate in the peripheral project construction.

These old blacks emphasize "meticulousness" in doing things, and take everything slowly. Such a big project may take at least two or three years, or even three to five years.

Haven't you had a job in the past few years?Don't you have to worry about making a living?

Moreover, the salary paid by the Clippers is quite generous, which is one or two points higher than that of ordinary construction sites.

So everyone is willing to work on this project, and for a while this project has really brought about a small economic prosperity in the community.

Of course, the corresponding pressure on the Clippers is quite high, and Roser, as the chief financial officer, is simply dancing on the tip of a knife.

Since the groundbreaking of the Huawei Center, he has basically stopped paying attention to the team's basketball affairs, and put all his energy on engineering projects and the team's financial flow.

He basically used what he had learned all his life. He coordinated the entire team and the financial planning and cash flow of the project by himself. It cost money and saved money.

Think of a way to introduce funds from different channels to find a financial balance point-the billions of dollars raised for the construction of the arena before, no matter how I think it is not enough.

Min Congda's whole mind was on sabotage, and although he was a banker, his financial ability was far worse than that of a team executive like Roser.

For a big project, funding is the blood that drives it forward, so Min Congda is the nominal leader, and Rosser is the real person in charge.

Relying on the Clippers' good cash flow this year and the reputation effect brought by the championship bonus to attract many investors, Rosser's dance is still very good.

But the problem happened without warning. The construction party suddenly went on strike on March 3th, and the engineers, technicians, and construction workers stopped working.

Roser rushed to the scene as soon as he received the news, and asked his subordinates not to report to Smart and the boss for the time being. He thought he could handle it.

As a result, the construction party unsurprisingly put forward a very excessive request: additional money.

The reason for the construction party is very good, that is, the construction is too difficult and the construction period is too tight.

Rosser is of course very angry about this. The construction is difficult, and you have been given time to make changes and adjustments, and the construction period... the project has just started, and you feel that the construction period is tight?
Besides, because of Min Congda's request, the Clippers basically don't rush the construction period, you just work hard and just do the job well.

Faced with this rude request, Roser naturally argued hard. They even signed a contract, if not, they will meet in court.

But the construction party seems not afraid to meet the Clippers in court. They think it is difficult for the Clippers to find a suitable construction party to replace in a short time.

Moreover, this project has invested a lot, and the Clippers' capital chain is already running at the limit. If they start from scratch, they will definitely not be able to bear it.

The contract between the two parties had originally agreed on issues such as breach of contract and price change, and it was not completely unreasonable for the construction party to add money.

In a real lawsuit, the Clippers may be thankless.

Faced with such a situation, Roser is of course unable to take responsibility.

After three days of hiding the truth, Roser finally informed the boss Xie Li first, and then asked Ada to inform Min Congda.

Rosser himself continued to negotiate with the construction party. He would rather quarrel with the construction party than tell Min Congda about it in person.

He knows that this new arena is the painstaking effort of Manager Smart, and it is a basketball monument belonging to the Clippers that he must build with his reputation and amazing mobility.

If he didn't handle this matter well, he would feel really guilty in his heart, and he was also very afraid of facing Min Congda's sharp eyes.

It has been more than three years since Min Congda came to the Clippers, and three years is long enough for everyone to have a huge sense of awe towards him.

This person has never missed a decision, this person has never hesitated to make a decision.

Most importantly, he led the Clippers to the championship and achieved an incredible miracle.

Rosser, who has spent many years in the Clippers, admires and respects Min Congda from the bottom of his heart.

Because Rosser himself is in charge of finance, all the team's money has to go from him.

Min Congda, as a person who can cover the sky with one hand, has not taken a penny from the team in more than three years!

Although he used the team's money to build a very good cafeteria and went to the cafeteria to eat every day, what is it?

In the NBA, it is impossible for anyone to reach the level of general manager and run a team worth hundreds of millions of dollars without receiving some benefits.

Not to mention the general manager, a senior executive in the team, whoever uses some tricks to make millions or even tens of millions a year, is always in his hands.

As far as Roser knows, a team like the Kings, which has been in decline for many years, has several moths inside.

But Smart has been as clean as water and as clean as a mirror for more than three years, and treats money like dung. In order to speak out for the team, he has paid millions in fines in more than three years.

To this day, he still lives in an apartment near Chinatown. He has no real estate, the car belongs to the team, and he has no family or children.

The biggest hobbies are fishing, eating pizza, and then putting all my energy on the team!

With such a great personality, how could Rosser not be impressed by him.

He didn't allow the project to come to a standstill like this. On the morning of the 11th, he made an appointment with the manager and boss of the construction party to meet together, hoping to have a good talk on this issue.

It is best to be able to come up with a more satisfactory plan before Shelley Sterling and Smart take action.

However, if Roser could do it, or if the construction party was willing to talk to him, the matter would not come to this point, and he would not have to report the situation upwards.

There is no doubt that the negotiations are fruitless, and the other party is quite tough.

They seem to see that the Clippers have loose internal management and are not strict with costs, so they want to make another fortune.

In the United States, when doing such a large project, it often pays attention to not opening for three years, and waiting for three years after opening.

After all, the United States has already passed the era of large-scale infrastructure construction, and such major public facilities projects are rare fat.

How could they give up without taking a few more bites of meat?

Roser is a bit lonely. Although he has done a lot of work as a paper maker, he has never been the leader of the project.

Even if some kind of agreement is to be reached, Roser does not have the final decision-making power. To put it bluntly, he has no negotiating capital.

When Roser was about to explain the situation to Min Congda face to face, his cell phone rang, and it was Min Congda calling.

Rosser answered the phone, and he was very nervous. Just when he opened his mouth to explain to Min Congda, Min Congda interrupted him and asked directly: "Rosell, where are you now? Are you with the people from AMF Company?" ?”

AMF Company is the general construction party of this arena construction. Of course, there are many cooperation and outsourcing units under them, large and small.

It is a big project, but it needs to feed many people and give many people a bite to eat.

"Yes, that's right, I just talked to them..."

Before Rosser finished speaking, Min Congda interrupted him again, and said, "Roser, do you have water in front of you now? Or, beverages, coffee, any liquid, whatever."

Rosser was taken aback, looked around, and said, "Yes... There is a cup of coffee, I didn't finish it, it's already cold... What's the matter, Mr. Smart."

"Very well, Rosser, now take this cup of coffee and pour it over the head of the head of the AMF."

"What? What did you say?"

"I said, take this cold cup of coffee and pour it over the head of the head of the AMF. Actually, I want you to warm it up first, but I'm afraid they'll run away. Come on, take it up."

Rosser swallowed, to be honest, this was the first time he had heard such a request in his life.

If someone else said that, he would never do it, and would hang up the phone.

But Smart was the one who made him do it, and he has no other choice now.

He can only listen.

So, Roser walked over to the table suddenly, picked up the cold cup of coffee just now, and poured it all over the head of the head of AMF, Solhan.

His head was a little bald, and the coffee flowed down his face and neck into his clothes. Fortunately, the coffee was already cold, otherwise he would have been scalded to death.

Even so, Roser felt a burst of joy when he saw Thorhan's angry and embarrassed look.

He knew that in this way, the two sides would undoubtedly tear their faces apart, and a contract termination lawsuit seemed inevitable.

But Roser knew that Mr. Smart must have a solution. He must have thought of some good idea and left behind, so he boldly broke with AMF!

Roser's idea was only half right, and his move really broke the cooperation between the Clippers and AMF.

Although AMF's reputation in the industry will be damaged by this, they still did it for the sake of high compensation and more lucrative profits.

They thought the Clippers would succumb, but they didn't expect that Smart, who had always been easy to talk and didn't care about anything before, would suddenly be so tough.

The next day, Min Congda held a press conference, announcing the termination of the cooperation with AMF, and looking for another construction developer.

How could they understand Min Congda's thoughts? How could Min Congda miss such a good opportunity to delay the construction period and increase construction costs?
Therefore, Roser's other half of the idea is absolutely wrong. Min Congda not only has no back-up, but even asked Roser to pour coffee on the opponent's head.

alternative?reserve army?plan B? Plan B?

It doesn't exist, these words are all to fool people, to fool Shelley Sterling's investors.

When the project couldn't go on, the capital flow was stymied, and all parties started to get angry, Min Congda knew that the big fire planned by Abangong was about to start!

He has been planning for so long, and what he has been waiting for is today! AMF, a greedy company with a poor moral bottom line, sent out a beautiful assist.

At the beginning, Min Congda chose them because of the company's casual management and not particularly good reputation.

The reason why they unanimously agreed to let them be responsible is mainly because their construction plan is really beautiful.

Unexpectedly, it was just talk on paper, and there were constant problems in the middle, and finally a landmine exploded, which made Min Congda satisfied.

In the next few days, Min Congda waited for this matter to ferment, and he didn't want to care about it anyway.

At that time, let Xie Li and the others go in a hurry. Min Congda will pat his ass and say it's none of my business, and I didn't take an extra penny from you?

He began to settle down and watch the Clippers' games in March and April. If he didn't watch them, he would know that the Clippers were fierce in March.

After defeating the Cavaliers and Thunder one after another, the Clippers showed the league their muscles.

Many teams in the league that have always underestimated the defending champion have felt the pressure.

3月13日，快船在主场107：100，7分的优势击溃了灰熊。

It is also a game where the point difference cannot show the gap between the two teams.

Griffin continued the previous spell in Los Angeles: the personal data is very good, but the team always loses.

Since missing the No. 2009 pick in [-], Griffin has only won one game with the Clippers in Los Angeles, and the others are fragile losses.

He scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists tonight, a very comprehensive performance.

But it is completely incapable of stopping the Clippers from taking the victory.

In the summary after the game, the Grizzlies felt that there was nothing to say from the coaching staff to the players.

Can't beat it, really can't beat it.

It would be fine if the Grizzlies were still the underdogs before, but they are clearly an important force in the West.

The ranking has been hovering in the middle, only one or two wins away from the top half.

The Grizzlies have already begun to consider whether to fall to sixth place and avoid encountering the Clippers in the semifinals.

Then, the Clippers rested for 3 days and faced the New York Knicks on the 17th.

Like the Clippers, the Knicks showed their sharpness at the beginning of the season, but were plagued by various problems in the middle of the season, which was not satisfactory.

The biggest problem for the Knicks is that their core core Stoudemire Jr. will not be able to play for the season.

The combination of Anthony + Stoudemire Jr. has never shown its power.

The Clippers do not have such a problem, 97:80 at home, a huge advantage of 17 points smashed the Knicks.

Suppressing the Knicks to 80 points is enough to show that the Clippers are indeed very good defensively.

Subsequently, the Clippers beat the Kings, 76ers, Nets, Mavericks and other teams in a row, and once again started a wave of winning streak.

Because of engineering problems, Min Congda watched the game in a much more peaceful mood. He was no longer angry when the Clippers won, and even followed everyone happily.

The euphemistic name is to have fun with the people!
The Clippers' winning streak continued from March to April, including a four-game winning streak. They went to the Texas Triangle and retreated unscathed.

Playing the Mavericks, Rockets, and Spurs in the hands of the three teams, although the two games were quite thrilling, they did not really give the opponent a chance.

The Clippers' control over the game has gradually entered a very high level.

Min Congda thought that his understanding of everything was under his own control.

When the time entered April, Min Congda suddenly discovered that the Huawei Center project seemed to be starting to move again.

This is terrible, is there someone to take over?No, why didn't I get the news?
He immediately called Rosser and asked Rosser to come to the office to explain the situation.

When Roser saw Min Congda, he praised: "Mr. Smart, I knew you had a backup. Now everything is normal, even better than before..."

"Hey wait, wait, what makes everything work? Even better? What happened?"

"Uh...don't you know? Oh, yes, you were in Texas a few days ago, Shelly said not to disturb your mood of watching the game, and the boss said you must know about it."

"What's the matter? What's the matter?"

"Uh... that is, a construction team from China took over the project, and it was introduced by our title sponsor, Huawei. They said they came here for the sake of you, Mr. Smart, and to open up the US market, as well as to make a name for themselves. Word of mouth for Chinese speed…”

Min Congda suddenly felt a bang in his head, what's going on?Why did I watch the ball for two weeks, how did this project come alive again?

The lawsuit is over?Is there no dispute over the contract?The person who accepts the offer shouldn't talk about the situation?besides…

China speed?

Min Congda knew how terrible this thing was in the 21st century.

After all, he is Chinese, but how did he get connected together?
Min Congda collapsed on the chair like a deflated rubber ball.

"Destiny...is it really not with me..."
