Chapter 255: Enemies meet, fate

Fan Xi led the Clippers to sink the Big Three on Miami Beach. This important battle demonstrated the strength of Fan Xi and the Clippers on a global scale. Fan Xi proved his superstar status through this game, and the Los Angeles Clippers officially joined the ranks of strong teams from then on.

When people discussed the championship, they had to include the Clippers on the list. Although some critics would say some messy reasons to exclude the Clippers in the end, if they didn't include them, there was something wrong with their brains.

For Donald Sterling, this was undoubtedly a spirit-lifting thing. The Clippers' profits this year would exceed the sum of the past five seasons, and the brand value was soaring rapidly.

Fan Xi's joining made the Clippers one of the hottest brands in the NBA.

Sterling's wealth increased significantly as a result.

So now, Sterling was both happy and conflicted. On one hand, he enjoyed the wealth appreciation brought by Fan Xi; on the other hand, he didn't want to sell his shares to Fan Xi.

He specifically found a professional manager who managed his wealth to ask for their opinions.

The problem before them now was that if they didn't agree to sell some shares to Fan Xi, Fan Xi might apply for a trade. When he left, the Clippers would decline rapidly, and the value would plummet, ending up with nothing, and no one would get any good.

But if they agreed to Fan Xi's request, it was no less than cutting a piece of meat from himself for Fan Xi.

Sterling wanted to make the cake bigger through Fan Xi on one hand, and wanted to enjoy the cake alone on the other, at most picking two cherries on the cake for Fan Xi; this was already his charitable limit as a capitalist.

His agent provided various plans because of his demands; some said to refuse directly, some said to refuse tactfully, some said they could give Fan Xi some extra care.

But these were obviously not feasible.

Until a professional manager named Thomas stood up and said: "Boss, do you know what the important means for our country to get rich all over the world is?"

Sterling frowned. Selling a pass at this time, he asked unhappily: "What?"

"It's writing bad checks. We can write Jack a bad check that can never be cashed. Just like... we stir up trouble everywhere, and when others start fighting, we say, 'Sorry, we are willing to provide everything except help.'"

This white man said with a sinister face.

Donald Sterling became curious immediately upon hearing this and asked quickly: "How to operate specifically?"

"Didn't Jack say he only wanted 10% of the shares? No, we can give him all of them. However, add a deadline, saying he has the right of first refusal for all the Clippers' shares, and it is based on the current market value of this year. As long as we sell, he is the first buyer, with priority in order and priority in price."

Thomas said with a smile.

Donald Sterling was happy to hear this. However, he hesitated: "Will Jack agree?"

"He will agree." Thomas nodded: "I am 100% sure he will agree. As long as you issue a legally recognized contract now and sign your name in advance to show respect. Chinese people are most easily kidnapped by emotions."

Thomas was full of confidence.

Sterling thought about it. He had no loss anyway. The initiative was in his hands. If he didn't buy, this contract would be void forever. To show sincerity, why not do it?

He quickly asked his lawyer to come over, drafted this contract, signed his name, and handed it to Thomas: "If you handle this matter, you will get a Christmas bonus exceeding previous years this year. You will definitely like it."

"Thank you, boss." Thomas was full of flattery and positivity.

Just like a certain country in East Asia celebrating nationwide.

In the Korean entertainment industry, if a female star falls in love, it will be called idol disqualification. However, when they saw Yoona held in Fan Xi's arms on the court, the situation took a 180-degree turn.

They were actually inspired and excited, shouting: "This is Korea's glory."

This was Jack Fan's first Asian girlfriend.

What does this mean? "Our Korea is really too powerful."

After Jack had dated female stars of the level of Taylor, Scarlett, Selena... he finally felt that our Yoona was the best.

Yoona was the last pride of Asia.

How could Jack Fan's vision be wrong?

For a time, the entire country's public opinion circle was inspired by this matter.

Their intensity was no less than the heat of the Korean wave in China.

This was really something unexpected.

Fan Xi was a bit dizzy now. He was lying in the hospital, and sitting next to him was Yoona. Yoona had been taking care of him.

The intimacy between them made people automatically think that Yoona was Fan Xi's new girlfriend.

But in fact, the two hadn't poked through that layer of window paper yet.

Fan Xi had a very good impression of Yoona. He liked this girl who bravely protected him behind her back at a dangerous moment very, very much. His liking even made him have some small inferiority: *My love history is so chaotic, she should be very minding, right? *

Coming out of the hospital, Fan Xi and Yoona got into the special car prepared by the team. The staff tacitly placed them in the back.

"What are your plans next?" Fan Xi asked Yoona vaguely. His mouth was already swollen. Although he still possessed rare handsomeness, speaking was ultimately inconvenient.

This was essentially different from James, whose face swelled into a round ball after stitches.

"I don't know." Yoona said in a low voice.

The restraint of East Asians was vividly displayed on her.

She wasn't like Western women who were direct; she played a curveball.

Fan Xi couldn't help but think of Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei was also an Oriental girl, but she had the experience of studying abroad, so there was a bit of straightforwardness in her restraint.

"Then shall we go to Boston together? I heard that Boston's winter has a unique flavor." Fan Xi said as if possessed: "I will be off in the next game. The doctor doesn't suggest I continue to play, so we have a two-day holiday."

Hearing this sentence from Fan Xi, Yoona suddenly blushed.

She lowered her head, held Fan Xi's left hand, nodded, and said with a voice like a mosquito: "Hmm."

The car continued to drive forward. Because of his mouth, Fan Xi didn't say anything more.

Soon they arrived at the hotel.

When arriving at the hotel, what was unexpected was... they actually ran into LeBron James head-on.

James also lived in this hotel. He had just come back from surgery.

The two met head-on.

And were about to enter an elevator.

It had quite a flavor of enemies meeting and fate's duel.
