Harpy Waters and Guo Xu left the arena together, not saying a word during the period, a little depressed. was supposed to show his ability, but he became a spectator, and he was not like an agent but more like a follower.

He is a little happy again, because Guo Xu chose a real shortcut to fame, if everything goes well, his rookie season will have a high popularity, and the chances of receiving advertising endorsements will be greatly increased.

Harpy's player contract commission is only 2%, even if Guo Xu enters the top few in the first round and gets 2 million, it is not much, it is different for him to operate and receive advertising endorsements, if he spends millions of dollars in a year, he can get 12% from it, and he will soon get rid of poverty and become rich.

It is not difficult for the last rookie to become famous, because the starting point is too low, Guo Xu played an average of 10+5 data per game and was selected for the best rookie lineup, which is enough for the media to blow for a year, not how powerful the last rookie is, but that the media can happily spray the management of each team blind.

As the first Chinese and Asian player to play in the NBA, Guo Xu must have received more attention at that time, and the media may still talk about discrimination, lest the world will not be chaotic.

Back at the hotel, Harpy thought of a hidden danger: "Do we believe in the Lakers too much?" What if they pick you last and don't give you enough playing time? You should let me talk to them a little bit more in the arena and get a promise of playing time. ”

"Harpy, can you get up and think in the direction of Harpy?" Guo Xu was lying on the sofa in the posture of a sleeping Buddha, broadcasting the remote control. "If I play well, I will naturally get playing time, on the contrary, if I don't play well, Jackson will cause disgust from my star teammates if I force me to play, so don't mention it at all."

"It's almost time to check out, what are you going to do next? Back to Michigan? Harpy asked.

"No, I'm going to stay in Los Angeles and wait for the draft results and play in Summer League. Then look for a house here, someone treats you. Guo Xu squinted his eyes and looked at Harpy meaningfully.

Harpy's face immediately collapsed, he couldn't be me, right? I really shouldn't have told him about the fact that the agent in the circle is not easy to mix and often has to entertain.

Some players who don't have a taste will turn their agents around, and in the end they don't sign a contract, and Harpy has met a person like this, who served the other party for three days in vain, ate and played with him, and got nothing.

"Hahaha, I just want to see your expression and bring back bad memories, right?" Guo Xu laughed and turned over, "Don't worry, I know you're poor, I won't squeeze you, I have an iron buddy in Los Angeles, I'll live with him." ”

"So I'll be ready to go home? When you officially join the Lakers, I'll come to Los Angeles to look for a house. Harpy asked with a smile.

"Okay."

Guo Xu dialed Austin's phone and said that he had a good chance of joining the Lakers and reported the name of the hotel.

Austin exclaimed, "Great, this has to be celebrated, I'll pick you up right away." ”

Harpy can hear the voice clearly through the phone, this is not hands-free, he thinks that this is like like gathering, Guo Xu's friend is also a sunny young man.

Twenty minutes later, a Hummer came to the door of the hotel, and Austin beckoned to Guo Xu: "Get in the car, do you have any luggage?" ”

"Just a small bag." Guo Xu pointed to his backpack, turned his head and asked, "Harpy, you really don't want to play together?" ”

Harpy waved his hand and smiled: "You guys go play, I'm home, feel free to contact me." ”

The contract didn't help, Harpy was embarrassed to go out with Guo Xu, the two had to have a good relationship, but they couldn't cross the line, so they could cooperate for a long time.

The United States is a power-rich society, and the gap between the rich and the poor is huge. Most of the poor are struggling to survive in the slums, while wealthy families live in purple and gold.

Austin is a rich second generation who lives without any pressure, he can do whatever he likes, and he has no worries about food and clothing if he fails in the entertainment industry, and he has nothing to do with the support of his parents who have movie roles and executives in IT companies before.

Austin drove to buy clothes first and helped Guo Xu change his outfit. "There's a party tonight, a lot of rich second generations attend, you dress up a little more handsome, and it doesn't hurt to know more people with backgrounds."

When the two female clerks heard their conversation, they both looked like they wanted to come forward and strike up a conversation. With the image of Guo Xu and Austin, many women will fall in love at first sight, who doesn't want their boyfriend to be handsome and rich?

Guo Xu picked up his clothes and asked with a smile: "Is it right to form a network and join forces?" ”

"That's right, you're much smarter than you used to be." Austin laughed: "You fought for a tango to kill a group of people, I heard that you dance very well, is it true?" ”

"Of course."

Not only in the United States, but also in China, many people like to form a network, you do things for me, I will help you. There are even some people who work as "intermediaries" everywhere, and the introducers know each other and collect some intermediary fees from them.

In his previous life, Guo Xu also had his own circle of friends, most of them were slings, and everyone didn't mix well. With multiple friends and many paths, he is not resistant to this kind of social life, unless you don't want to get ahead.

Therefore, he listened to the arrangement of his friends, changed into a beautiful light blue casual suit, and brought a pair of brown sunglasses, which is very successful and looks much more mature.

The party was held at a friend's Beverly Hills villa in Austin, whose family is a giant in Los Angeles' health industry. The bigger part of this industry is to serve the birth, old age, sickness and death of the family, and the smaller part is to serve the health of the whole family through "testing, adjustment, protection and recuperation".

At the end of June, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, and everyone is dressed very coolly, and there are people of all skin colors.

In Los Angeles, highly educated, well-to-do people of color are generally not discriminated against, have fun at parties, and have no barriers to communication. Guo Xu feels that Americans are not so much discriminating against skin color as they are actually discriminating against the poor.

Austin introduced Guo Xu as an NCAA Final Four MOP, and after he had signed up for this year's NBA draft, many people immediately came forward to chat with him.

"Jason, I know you, you're very popular on the Internet, dancing to celebrate in the finals, and the people at the University of Florida are going crazy with you." A short white youth said.

"Tony, you're too old in the news, the latest news is that Jason turned down tryout offers from other teams and just wanted to join the Lakers." A red-haired young man laughed, "You're so cool, I've never heard anyone dare to do that." ”

Guo Xu smiled: "I didn't expect the Hornets to blow this out, I don't mean to play a big name, I just want to join the team I like to play." I'm actually a very good talker, a low-key person. ”

Tony asked, "You're a good dancer, aren't you?" I've heard Austin say that you often practice Latin with people from Michigan Dance Companies, is that true? ”

"In addition to playing basketball, what I am best at is dancing, Latin dance is just average, tango I am more professional, is there any lady on the scene who would like to dance with me?"

"I, I'm willing, don't laugh at me if you don't dance well." A blonde girl in a red dress raised her hand next to Guo Xu and stood up as the first to get the moon near the water.

She looked like she was in her early twenties, her image was enthusiastic, Guo Xu performed a standard gentleman's courtesy, gently took the other party's hand and walked to the venue, and the DJ changed the music in due time.

Austin quietly gave Guo Xu a thumbs up, and then took the lead in applauding, he likes the change of friends, Guo Xu definitely couldn't fit into this kind of circle back then, but now he can play better than him.
