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

Chapter 492 Adversity sees the truth

Kanye West has a mental illness, and the public doesn't know much about it.

Min Congda knew that when he was seeing a psychiatrist, he had discussed his "condition" with Kanye.

Kanye West has bipolar disorder, which makes some of his behaviors out of control and requires medication for treatment.

Now, West is also receiving psychological counseling from Mia, using some drugs to keep himself in a normal mood.

Seeing that Min Congda also came to "see a doctor", Kanye held him back and asked in a low voice, "Is there no reporter outside?"

Min Congda said: "No, don't worry, the paparazzi have no interest in me."

"No man, you've been the subject of a lot of paparazzi in Los Angeles, but you've kept a low profile. I heard you and Daddario have officially broken up, haven't you?"

"Well, we haven't talked for a while... You should go home early after you're sick. The longer you stay here, the higher the possibility of exposure. Let's go."

Min Congda didn't want to communicate too much with Kanye. Firstly, he was not sick. If he chatted too much with sick people, he felt that he would really be sick.

Second, he was afraid that West would come up with some bad idea to make the Clippers make money.

Unexpectedly, West pulled Min Congda and refused to let him go. How could he let him go so easily when he finally met a patient to share his illness.

"Smart, don't be so excited. You must not have taken medicine? Take some medicine and you will calm down. I have a plan to tell you."

As soon as Min Congda heard about Kanye West's plan, his head hurt.

But unable to resist West's enthusiasm, Min Congda had no choice but to say: "Tell me, what's your plan? I won't make a joint record with you."

"Of course it has nothing to do with the record, it has something to do with the sneakers."

As soon as he heard about the sneakers, Min Congda wanted to leave. This guy really had the idea of ​​sporting goods.

What's the matter, do you think the Clippers' sports peripheral products are not popular enough?Didn't the Clippers make enough money?

Under West's creation, the Clippers' jerseys, sneakers, and peripheral products are quite popular among young people.

Kanye wore a Clippers jersey during several rap performances to show his support for the team.

You know, when most rappers choose basketball jerseys, they usually choose one of the Knicks, Bulls, and Lakers.

Few other jerseys make it into these black rappers' selection circles.

Rapper culture and basketball culture have a high degree of overlap.

On the street, basketball and music are like twins, inseparable.

A series of peripheral products that West created for the Clippers before, such as jerseys, logos, necklaces, etc., doubled the Clippers' revenue from peripherals, and suddenly increased a lot of cash flow.

Min Congda often has a headache about how to spend the cash.

Peripheral products like this are too profitable, the cost is almost equal to nothing, and you can earn as much as you sell.

Adidas and the NBA took a large part of it away, and in the end there were still a lot of money going to the Clippers!
This money was either used by Min Congda as a bonus, or used for security and other work. In short, he could spend it as much as possible, and never let the Clippers have too much money in their account.

Now the team has managed to achieve a balance of payments. If there is new income coming in, the 3000 million loan from the bank to buy the Great Western Forum will be regarded as a free loan, because Roser will definitely repay the loan in advance. Still in debt!
"Forget it, forget it, I don't understand the sneaker business, you'd better hire Gao Ming to cooperate with others."

"Smart, this is a good opportunity to further expand the influence of the Clippers!"

The Clippers have enough influence and have already caught up with the Lakers.

Nowadays, young people in Los Angeles all watch Clippers games and wear Clippers jerseys.

And like the Lakers, wearing the Lakers yellow and purple jerseys has been regarded as an antique.

Min Congda knows that young people are the future. Children in their teens will have spending power in a few years. For a long time, they will become a stable fan consumer group and provide various income for the team.

In the long run, this is obviously a potential hazard to the Clippers' bankruptcy plan.

Of course, Min Congda's plan is to use a huge investment in fixed assets and high luxury taxes to bring down the Clippers within three years. This kind of small peripheral income is not the point.

It's just that although lice are small, they are always uncomfortable when they grow on the body.

Min Congda just shook his head, unwilling to cooperate with Kanye West on this sporting goods project.

Kanye West sighed and said: "Well, let me be honest, this is not an investment plan. I have no money. I want to borrow some money to support my brand."

Since 2007, Kanye West has been trying to promote his brand "Coconut", but Nike has never bought it, thinking that it is inconsistent with the strategic development direction of the company's basketball shoes.

In 10 years, Kanye owed a lot of debt for his own brand promotion.

The $250 million design fee he got from the Clippers at that time can be said to have solved his urgent need.

But for a fashion brand, $250 million is just a drop in the bucket, and it is enough for Kanye to pay off part of the debt.

For the coconut brand, Kanye West has paid too much, and it is impossible for him to give up.

It's just that now his funds are in trouble again. A large amount of initial investment can't get effective output. In addition to the huge daily expenses, the income from music records alone is only enough to maintain the flow of funds.

And since his mother passed away, he can no longer get real peace in his heart, and he can't write excellent music.

Now that he has no money, he has to find a way to get some money from his friends to alleviate the financial problem.

Min Congda heard that he wanted to cooperate in development, but he was not interested. He didn't want to participate in making money.

But as soon as he heard that you wanted to borrow money, he became excited. He likes the fact that meat buns beat dogs and never come back!
Min Congda who had asked West to leave immediately stopped him and said, "You want to borrow money? This is a good thing. I like lending money to my friends the most. Tell me, how much do you want to borrow? I will do my best to satisfy you!"

Hearing what Min Congda said, Kanye West's tears were about to fall.

Sure enough, a friend in adversity sees the truth. When you spend money, those friends will surround you to curry favor with you, eat your food, drink your food and play with you.

When you have no money and need to borrow money, many friends disappear without a trace.

And although those bigwigs in the circle are rich, Kanye Wester can't bear this face.

He was afraid of being looked down upon by others, and he didn't want to ask them to borrow money to get by.

Kanye West was afraid that Min Congda would not borrow money, so he just said that he would cooperate in development.

Now he lowered his face and said that he wanted to borrow money. I didn't expect Min Congda to be so active. This is the real brother!

"I... need more this time, I want 1000 million dollars..."

"1000 million!?"

"Give as much as you can, and I will borrow the rest from others."

"How can 1000 million be enough? I'll lend you 2000 million! I'll call Rosser later, you can ask Rosser for the money!"
