A few days later, Edward and Meng Xiaohao both announced the news that Edward had become Meng Xiaohao's agent on social media, because Meng Xiaohao had been selected and had already entered the alliance, so Edward did not violate the rules.

For a while, this matter attracted almost all the attention of the sports media circle, Edward is not in a good position at CAA now, but he has now signed Meng Xiaohao, who has a background in the Chinese market, and many people want to see what Edward can do for Meng Xiaohao.

In the next period of time, Meng Xiaohao and Edward will be surrounded and intercepted by various reporters as soon as they go out, and all kinds of interview questions, although there are many reporters, and they come one after another, not all of them, but Meng Xiaohao still does not look unhappy.

Next, Meng Xiaohao and Edward set a time and held a press conference.

At the press conference, Edward and Meng Xiaohao once again admitted that the two parties had reached a contract, and Edward became Meng Xiaohao's agent, taking 3% of Meng Xiaohao's annual salary as salary.

This salary is actually quite small, Dahl. Richie's salary was from Tom. Cruson withdrew 8%, and it was 8% more than Meng Xiaohao's salary, which was quite large.

This contract was actually drawn up by Edward and Meng Xiaohao, and in this matter, Meng Xiaohao also specially asked Brooke, who already had an agent.

Brooke also gave him some advice and asked him to make some minor changes to his previous contract to ensure that the contract is fair in the future.

Because the contract was drawn up by both parties, Meng Xiaohao and Edward did not read the contract carefully, so they both signed their names on it.

"Then please take care of me in the future!" After Edward signed the contract, he stood up and shook hands with Meng Xiaohao.

Meng Xiaohao also stood up, "If you can help me earn an extra $1.4 million after tax, I will be very happy!" ”

After hearing this, Edward laughed "haha", "Believe me, I can do it, just 1.4 million after tax, I can't stump me at all, you have to believe in the strength of your agent!" ”

The two sides stood together for a group photo, and then answered questions from reporters......

……

After the launch......

"Wow, I feel like I'm finally able to stop for a while!" Meng Xiaohao and Edward returned to Edward's car, and Meng Xiaohao sat directly upside down in the seat.

"During this time, all kinds of reporters chased and intercepted, but I was tired!" Meng Xiaohao began to complain about what happened to him during this time.

"It's like I'm not, you're going to be interviewed by reporters at every turn, I'm different! I rarely get interviewed, and all the reporters who deal with them are not as good as you! Edward glanced at Meng Xiaohao, "You still say you're tired?" What is really tired is whether I am good or not! ”

The two of you and I drove away......

The relationship between Edward and Meng Xiaohao was already very familiar when they began to discuss the contract, and they would no longer use the honorific title of "you" as before, and now they can say two sentences at every turn.

Now that Meng Xiaohao's agent problem has finally been officially solved, Meng Xiaohao has no worries, and after a while, he is like returning to China......

……

A few days later, Meng Xiaohao returned to China, with his coach and mother, with excitement and pride.

Of course, whether it is at the airport in New York or at the airport in China, Meng Xiaohao has been besieged by reporters, but Meng Xiaohao is not tired of coping, he is now very skilled in dealing with reporters.

Reed also followed Meng Xiaohao to China to supervise Meng Xiaohao's training.

After returning to China, Meng Xiaohao was still haunted by the very serious question that Edward said, although 1.4 million US dollars is not a lot, but compared with the figure of 2.8 million US dollars on the surface, there is indeed a big gap.

Seeing Meng Xiaohao's serious expression, Reed also stepped forward to ask, and when Meng Xiaohao told Reed about the salary that Edward told him, Reed nodded......

"I also know this problem, the current professional players are really not very easy to mix, and there are countless helplessness under the glamorous appearance. You can't change the salary problem, and the high federal taxes in the United States are terrible. ”

Meng Xiaohao nodded in agreement.

At this time, Reed patted Meng Xiaohao's shoulder, "Young man, don't get angry, you have to believe in Mr. Edward's strength, there were many superstars under Edward, and he also bought a lot of money for those superstars, you don't have to worry about this." ”

"Although his current situation in CAA is not very good, isn't there an old saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!"

Meng Xiaohao was amused by Reed's lame metaphor, "Your metaphor is really interesting, I know, I don't get much angry." ”

"Huh? Xiaohao? Reed suddenly asked, "Didn't you say you didn't care about the amount of money, as long as you could play basketball?" Why are you so concerned about salary now? ”

"It's not a matter of how I suddenly care!" Meng Xiaohao sighed, "It's just that this gap is too big, and I can't accept it for a while." ”

Meng Xiaohao has not stopped his training after returning to China, he asked Edward to rent a basketball hall for him, and he trains in the basketball hall every day.

Similarly, he also contacted many players of the New York Fortune team, and they also welcomed the new players to join, and also told Meng Xiaohao some precautions in the team.

Now the New York Fortune Players were still a playoff team last season, but this season they traded Elser away, which is equivalent to the team's interior emptiness and strength decline, and what Meng Xiaohao has to do now is to make up for this hole as soon as possible through the outside offense and defense.

Meng Xiaohao also realized his sudden heavy responsibility in the team, so he trained harder, hoping to improve himself to a higher level before the preseason.

Gradually, Meng Xiaohao slowly understood why the New York Fortune team wanted to trade out Elzer, and then choose himself.

In fact, it is nothing more than that Elzer's ceiling is there, but Meng Xiaohao's ceiling is unpredictable, at least not now, so the New York Fortune Team chose Meng Xiaohao to wait, wait for Meng Xiaohao to grow, and then lead them to victory.

The New York Fortune team with Elzer did not play a good record, it was only a round of tours, and Elzer, who had high hopes last season, did not show the corresponding strength, so it was normal to put it on the trading table as a trading chip.

The real intention of the Fortune Team is to let Meng Xiaohao grow up, they are different from the Star Team, they don't want to succeed in this short period of time, because the current alliance pattern has been set, but the next pattern is still unknown, so they plan to wait until the next pattern.

After Meng Xiaohao understood the true intentions of the New York Fortune Team, Meng Xiaohao couldn't help but shudder, "How terrifying these people who do business must be in their minds." ”

……

Meng Xiaohao's training lasted for a month or two and ended, because the preseason of the North American League was coming, and Meng Xiaohao now needed to rush back to New York to train with the team.

After arriving at the New York Fortune Players, Meng Xiaohao is really an official professional player.

This time, Meng Xiaohao didn't let his mother go with him, only he and Reed left, because if his mother went, Meng Xiaohao would have to find a house for his mother, and he himself lived in the stadium (there is a place to live in the stadium, and it is very luxurious. So Meng Xiaohao didn't plan to take his mother to the United States.

At the airport, Meng Xiaohao was stopped by the reporter again, and the questions were still those questions, and Meng Xiaohao had already replied that he was numb.

Finally got rid of the reporter, Meng Xiaohao and Reed finally got on the plane to New York......

"What's the mood right now?" Reid asked.

"What else can there be but excitement?"
