Chapter 298: Principles

Lu Wenlong didn't say a word, just looked at the white man opposite with a smile and explained to himself: "You are a potential superstar, only when we reach the American professional baseball will there be the greatest development, we have a complete training institution and training system, and the most market-oriented and successful event in the world, so I believe that joining you will change your life!" ”

Very tempting words, but before Lu Wenlong could speak, Ah Can's second brother came in with an Asian with a smile on his face: "The ...... of the Japanese job stick" stretched out his hand to introduce, pulled out the chair, and went out again.

Ah Chan came first and asked, "Scott...... Which team do you represent? ”

Scott shook his head: "I'm an agent, I can help Mr. Lu promote to any Major League team." ”

The Japanese interjected: "I'm Mukai, a scout representing the Japanese Professional Baseball Giants, and I can sign a contract of intent with Mr. Lu in the name of the team now, whether it is salary or signing money!" "Apparently he kind of looked down on the independent agent.

Scott was annoyed: "Do you understand the minimum business order, I'm still talking to him, before there is a result, please you and your club, or wait a while?" OK? ”

Mukai is obviously a typical portrayal of the current Japanese, with a respectful attitude, but the content is a bit like beating people with a money fan: "We all speak directly in a checkbook, and do you think it is realistic for a Chinese teenager like him to play in the United States?" Their country would not allow such a thing to happen. ”

Scott had apparently pondered the question: "I know it! So I'd like to sign you a long-term contract to compete with you, and I'll run it for you as long as he can compete abroad! ”

Lu Wenlong listened to it interestingly and laughed: "It turns out that you all know that I can't go abroad to play, so what is the plan of the Japanese side?" ”

Mukai's Mandarin is very good: "I was originally an official in charge of affairs in the Greater China region, in fact, we have people who contacted you during the last Asian Games, to make a long story short, our Sino-Japanese friendship has a lot of projects, I believe that after effective communication, we can win the opportunity for you to play in Japanese professional baseball." ”

Lu Wenlong nodded: "It seems that you have good public relations skills......

Scott was a little anxious, he couldn't understand Mandarin. can only keep asking Ah Can, and Ah Can is not shy about it. Translated the conversation to him word by word, but the middle-aged man in his forties quieted down and locked his eyes on Lu Wenlong's expression.

Then Ah Can's third brother came in with a white man and smiled: "He said he was a scout for MLB ......"

Then Ah Can's second brother then brought in another black man. I couldn't stop laughing: "This is also a scout of American professional baseball......"

One after another, six people came in!

Among them are independent agents like Scott and scouts who represent the club like Mukai, a total of eight people representing two Japanese professional baseball teams. Three MLB teams, and the three independent agents claim to be able to recommend Lu Wenlong to any MLB team.

Of course, with his age and seniority, he certainly won't be able to play right away, but he will get a good contract and signing fee. And then after a few years of tempering in the development alliance, I think it can be achieved immediately.

Lu Wenlong has been listening to the speeches of scout agents from American professional baseball and Japanese professional baseball with a smile on his face, and even let his third uncle take an order book and use the pencil on it to write and draw some records. Only then did he turn his head to look at Scott, who was sitting closest to him: "Why don't you speak?" "A couple of MLB agents or scouts obviously know him. It seems to be a little disdainful of him. …,

Scott smiled helplessly: "I thought it was a conversation that could be communicated, but I didn't expect it to turn into a scuffle, and I have nothing to say." ”

Lu Wenlong laughed twice and faced several foreigners: "My situation." The Japanese gentleman just now knows it, and I'm sure you do. I am a Chinese, this is a special identity, I believe that you just observed that no one supervised me before coming to the door, I go abroad to play is not realistic things, what else can you do? ”

An American scout directed: "This is a road paved with dollar money, get out of that country, what a simple thing, if you need it, I can contact you right now to arrange political asylum!" ”

No one laughed, and no one thought it was a joke, in the statements of several scouts and agents just now, the amount has begun to be revealed, intentionally or unintentionally, which is also normal, when there are several simultaneous demands, similar to auction-like competitive offers are always the fundamental means to solve some problems.

About $1 million in signing money!

This is just a threshold, as long as Lu Wenlong agrees to sign the contract, he can get this signing fee!

At this time, it was the time when JAPANMONEY was rampant in the world, although the bubble economy had begun to appear, but a large amount of money still made the Japanese feel rich on various occasions, and Mukai repeatedly emphasized that about one million US dollars was only the amount he could approve, as long as he could sign a contract, there was more economic income waiting for Lu Wenlong, a seventeen-year-old boy!

For a seventeen-year-old boy, one million dollars, or a teenager in a country with an average monthly salary of less than a hundred dollars, Lu Wenlong showed a calmness that surprised these scouting agents who were accustomed to seeing a large number of them, and still smiled like that: "I will not betray my motherland, what about such a premise?" ”

Several MLB scout agents were a little stumped: "Do you want to apply to study in the United States?" ”

Lu Wenlong shook his head: "I am already the captain of the national team, so it belongs to the property of the state...... All signings must be approved by the state, and I don't want my baseball career to be ruined for me, and I don't want to be a homeless person who even gives up my country. So those unrealistic fantasies should be put aside, if there is no practical plan to plan with the plan, please walk slowly, I am having dinner with my family......" Ah Can raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth for a moment, did not say it, and finally translated it to several Americans according to his meaning.

After a moment's hesitation, several Americans left their business cards and left, only Scott still sat there, watching Mukai and another Japanese triumphantly explain their set of public relations theories, after all, Japan still has an advantage over the United States in this regard, and they are also East Asian countries, not as big as the span. Moreover, since the beginning of the reform and opening up, Japan has gained too many privileges and benefits from entering China.

Lu Wenlong listened patiently. smiled and asked: "Please leave me your contact information, I will think about it clearly, and I can also contact you in China to meet and discuss in detail?" ”

Just sent the two Japanese away, and then turned to Scott: "How is it?" Now what else do you want to talk to me about? ”

Scott finally spoke: "I stick to my way. But I don't have any competition contracts with you, I want to be your general promotion agent outside of China. ”

Lu Wenlong was a little surprised: "What's the difference?" ”

Scott leaned back in his chair a little and smiled: "From what I observed just now, I think you should be a very promising young man, not only in the field of sports. I'd like to get your authorization to do the marketing for you. ”…,

Lu Wenlong asked the bottom of the question: "What does this marketing mean?" I can't even play abroad, China doesn't even have a baseball league, what can you do? ”

Scott laughed like a god of wealth: "You're going to play in the Olympics next year." That's a sure thing, you're still young and have a relatively long career ahead of you. I hope. Of course, this is also a bet I made, I bet that you can become famous at the Olympics next year, and a series of business operations that come from it, I think it can be operated. For example, with your license to develop sports products, invite your entire team to play an exhibition game in MLB. Write a biography in your name...... Oh, you're only seventeen, that's a little early...... But the development of sports products alone is a huge market, how? ”

Lu Wenlong's eyes lit up a little: "For example, it's like our country's Li Ning card?" ”

Scott also asked what the Li Ning brand was, which was a little funny: "They are nothing now, just pasting the name Li Ning on a sportswear, commercial operation, they are still far behind!" ”

Lu Wenlong didn't hesitate too much: "I'm very interested in cooperating with you, but at the moment I won't sign any written contract with you, so I won't charge you a penny, but I can give you a verbal promise, before the Olympics, I hope to see a complete plan, at that time, we will sign a formal private contract, you have to understand, after all, I have the situation of the Chinese national team, and I can't sign a contract at will." ”

After listening to the translation, Scott's expression moved, and five fingers tapped quickly on his knees: "What do you need my help with now, there are still many things that are more convenient in the United States......" From the perspective of most foreigners, China is just an underdeveloped country similar to Africa.

Lu Wenlong was reminded: "About baseball, videotapes or training materials are the ...... I need most."

Scott agreed: "That's the most!" That's what we do......" He simply stood up, hugged Lu Wenlong, left each other's contact details, and left, Ah Can looked at his cousin with some thoughts: "In China...... How do you come to understand these things? This shouldn't be something that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old should be familiar with, right? Not to mention that you have to spend so much time on the ballpark. ”

Lu Wenlong disagreed: "Look at your seventh uncle, since I began to understand things, he took me to the south and north to do speculative business, not to mention anything else, just in the past month, the plan he received is so high!" He casually drew a height with his hand, and when he mentioned Lu Chengfan's troubles, his interest just now seemed to be affected, and he was a little depressed.

The third uncle, who had been watching his nephews with the smile of Maitreya Buddha, finally spoke: "Old seven...... Now he says he's doing a big business? ”

Lu Wenlong shook his head and was about to say an empty shelf, but he was kicked by Tang Canqing under his feet, thinking about it, he always had to take care of Lu Chengfan's face: "It's not ordinary, but I don't know much about it, my attention is on practicing." ”

The third uncle nodded: "Hmm...... I just wanted to ask you, will you go to Japan to play? The old man's eyes were a little bright, and he looked at the young man with great interest.

Lu Wenlong laughed hehe: "Japanese devils don't share the sky!" Zuxun Zuxun...... I still know the truth. ”

That's a principle, right?
