Rebirth of the Super Landlord

In the days that followed, Su Zhen calmed down and stayed with Lux, who was pregnant. Carrick and Elena, who had also settled here, would come over from time to time.

Carrick and Elena had not enjoyed themselves enough after playing in the mountains before, so they went to Jackson Hole for a few days. After that, Elena expressed that she liked the environment in Wyoming, which happened to be because Su Zhen gave Carrick a villa as a gift.

So the two of them simply stopped going back and settled here directly. Although Carrick was deeply unhappy, under Elena's high pressure, he had no choice but to agree. Carrick could only silently agree in his heart.

I cried and said goodbye to the sun, the beach, and the beautiful women.

Seeing Carrick's little pain, Su Zhen shook his head, how could such a good playboy now have tracheitis? Is Elena really that bad? Su Zhen really didn't notice it.

However, Su Zhen was quickly attracted by another thing, that is, the acquisition of the Clippers, which was about to come to an end.

A few days after Su Zhen, Carrick and others returned from the mountains, they received some information about Donald Sterling sent by Elena. Su Zhen randomly forwarded this information to Rachel, asking him to

Rachel started to initiate acquisitions, and the Maloof brothers of the Kings, let them go to hell.

At that time, Rachel told Su Zhen that at first, as Su Zhen expected, Sterling not only completely ignored Rachel's offer, but also began to verbally tease Rachel who went to negotiate. However, after

After Rachel revealed a little bit of what she knew, the lecherous old man immediately became honest and began to formally negotiate with Hongfeng Investment, which Rachel represented.

Although Sterling initially agreed to Red Maple Capital's acquisition plan, he still tried to raise the price to thwart it. However, Rachel, who was very annoyed, revealed some more information, which immediately made Sterling's face turn pale.

Now he was slow, and he also knew that this matter was not that simple. The one who could possess so much information about himself was obviously the DuPont family behind him. Apparently someone within the DuPont family had reached some agreement with Red Maple Capital, and he

It's just sold.

So when Rachel left Sterling's company with a satisfied smile, Sterling's angry roar echoed throughout the office building.

In February 2001, the Clippers' trading plan was sent to the desk of NBA President David Stern. David Stern, who has been committed to the commercial development of the NBA league, was very happy to see Su Zhen like this.

A rich man entered the league, and he had long been fed up with the original owner of the Clippers. Sterling was simply a shame to the entire league, and another reason why Stern didn't like Sterling was because Sterling was

Lin moved the team to Los Angeles without the permission of the league. He also bit back the league. From that time on, the relationship has been forged, so the trade plan was passed with almost no obstruction.

Soon, the news that the Los Angeles Clippers had changed hands for US$200 million appeared in major sports newspapers and magazines, and the buyer was an investment tycoon. News about Su Zhen also spread like wildfire. For other teams in the league,

This is not good news. Just look at what Paul Allen, the owner of the Trail Blazers, did not long ago. With the joining of six All-Stars, the team's total salary is US$86.5 million, ranking first in the league.

I'm afraid Su Zhen is also such a current owner who doesn't take money. Although the Trail Blazers have only won one championship in the 1970s, they are still a strong team in the Western Conference. They are regulars in the playoffs every year and even had a chance.

Aiming for the championship. Failure to win the championship can only be said to be bad luck, and the reason for all this is not caused by Paul Allen's crazy spending of dollars.

The Clippers fans are celebrating this. They have already had enough of Sterling's stinginess. Among all team owners in the league, Donald Sterling has become stingy since he bought the Clippers.

Synonymous with countless misdeeds, he is also the only boss in the NBA who requires players to "not leave the line of fire for minor injuries". There has even been a farce of asking coaches to personally put bandages on players and continue to play.

, and spending a lot of money on signings is even more extravagant. Let alone signings, because of the Clippers' poor performance, the Clippers can get a good pick in the lottery every year, but Sterling is very interested in getting a good pick.

The way to deal with rookies is to squeeze them hard and then sell them before they can get a big contract in exchange for huge profits. Therefore, Clippers fans can only watch their team's future stars sadly being sent away time and time again.

Walk.

While the fans and the media were talking about related matters, the transaction was successfully completed. However, what surprised everyone was that the boss Su Zhen did not appear at the press conference. Red Maple Capital attended instead.

President Rachel, and apart from appointing the team's original general manager Elgin Baylor to continue to serve, almost no adjustments were made to the team. This can't help but cast a shadow on the hearts of Clippers fans.

The team's owner didn't even attend the press conference, which obviously couldn't be justified.

And this is good news for other teams. It seems that the new owner of the Clippers does not pay much attention to the Clippers. There is no need to worry about troublemakers like the Trail Blazers appearing.

But it won't be long before they find out that they were wrong. Su Zhen not only attaches great importance to the Clippers, but also attaches great importance to them. However, everything is going on secretly until...

On June 27, 2001, the annual NBA draft was about to be held at Madison Square Garden Stadium in New York City, New York.

In a corner of the stadium, Elgin Baylor, the general manager of the Los Angeles Clippers, was talking to a Chinese teenager next to him.

"Boss, do we really want to choose that Spaniard? But what we lack is a center, not a power forward. We already have an extremely outstanding Odom at this position," Baylor said with confusion, and with him

The person talking was none other than the new owner of the Clippers, Su Zhen. Baylor was wondering why the boss valued that so much.

He is a Spaniard. Although he is indeed good, he is just a newcomer after all. More importantly, he is an international player. You must know that international players are only a handful in the NBA. He believes that there is no need to waste such an important pick on Canada.

Regarding Sol, he believes that center Tyson Chandler is what the Clippers need.

"No, no, no, Odom won't be on the Clippers' roster soon," Su Zhen shook his head and said, joking, if others don't know about Gasol's achievements, how can he still not know about it? The best rookie in the future,

An All-Star player like Odom can only be regarded as a bench gangster at best. Can Odom, the best sixth man, compare to him? There is also Tyson Chandler, who was too late to bloom until ten years later.

Even if he has achieved success in the NBA, it is not within Su Zhen's consideration.

"Boss? Are you going to trade Odom? Why didn't I get any information in advance?" Baylor was quite angry. The star was about to be traded, but as the general manager, he had no idea? What is this?

Su Zhen glanced at him and knew that he was unhappy, but he didn't want to explain anything. After all, he was the owner of the team. He just said, "From now on, the trading rights of the team's players belong to the coach and the team manager."

He is only responsible for the normal operation of the team, and this can also be said to be the decision of the new coach."

Baylor was stunned when he heard this. Are you kidding me? The right to trade players belongs to the coach? Wouldn't his rights be greatly reduced? Damn it, this is the NBA, not the Premier League, but he didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction. After all, the other party was talented.

He was the boss, but he was just a part-time worker, so he had no choice but to ask, "Boss, who is our new protagonist, Lian?"

Su Zhen smiled and said, "You will know when the draft is over and you return to Los Angeles."

Seeing Su Zhen's mysterious look, Baylor was filled with dissatisfaction, but more importantly, he was helpless. Before, he applauded the several new measures for the team that Su Zhen talked about with him, but now he doesn't.

We know whether it is good or bad for the team to be handed over to Su Zhen.,

Su Zhen, however, has no intention to care about Belle's thoughts. He is thinking more about Lux, who is expecting childbirth in Los Angeles at the moment. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
