Chapter 219 219, Future Broker
After taking the Knicks, Coach D'Antoni gave his teammates a half-day off as usual, and in the next game, the Rockets will face the rebuilt Hawks.
The first place in the East for two consecutive years finally fell at the feet of LeBron, and this rebuild, for the Hawks, will be a new beginning.
No. 3, it is also the day of the opening of Cheng Lei's new store, at eight o'clock in the morning, Cheng Lei rarely put on formal clothes and participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new store.
Cheng Lei appeared at the ribbon-cutting ceremony, but it still attracted a lot of people to watch, and when the ribbon-cutting ended, the blessings of the Rockets players appeared on the big screen at the door, and the scene suddenly became a sensation.
Newly opened today, all drinks are all-you-can-drink, no one is limited to one bottle, while supplies last.
What everyone didn't expect was that not long after it was really open, there was a long queue outside the store.
The clerks in the store were very busy, and soon, Wu Chunlei and they also joined the team to help.
The matter of collecting the money was handed over to Zhuo Jiayue and Bingying, and they were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink a sip of water in the morning.
The prepared drinks were all delivered before twelve o'clock at noon, looking at the door there were still a lot of people standing, Hicks apologized and explained to everyone, in the afternoon, it will not be opened, everyone has a good rest, ready for tomorrow's official opening.
After having a lunch with everyone in a hurry, Cheng Lei said goodbye to everyone and went to train first.
The opportunities in life are always fickle, and Cheng Lei himself did not expect that there would be a day when he would enter the NBA, and when the Rockets selected him, Cheng Lei was also excited for a long time.
However, Cheng Lei also firmly seized the opportunity and used his actions to win an important position for himself.
Unlike others, most players have their own agents, and many things can be done by agents, but Cheng Lei still has a bad impression of his agent because he is in North Carolina, so now, he is also a person.
This, like Nowitzki, has also left a lot of opportunities to expand his fame.
"Ray, you don't seem to have signed a sports brand yet, do you?" During a break in practice, Harden sat next to Cheng Lei and asked.
Indeed, Cheng Lei's current sneakers are all bought by himself, a second-round show, and wanting a sneaker contract is tantamount to a fool's dream.
"Hey, wait brother, aren't you obviously laughing at me!" Cheng Lei pretended to be deep and said with a sigh.
"Hehe, I'm bringing you good news, do you want to join Adi's camp?" Harden bewitched Cheng Lei.
Now in the league, Adi's camp is basically pressed by the Nike camp to look up, in the next two years, Adi's signed superstar is Harden, which makes Harden feel a little uncomfortable, as the current chief spokesperson of Adi, Harden wants to recommend Cheng Lei to Adi.
According to Cheng Lei's current performance, it is definitely a potential stock, and the future is promising.
"As far as my current performance is concerned, the league has grabbed a lot of them, and Adi probably doesn't look down on me!" Cheng Lei said with rare modesty.
"Then you can rest assured, I still know some inside information, they are now discussing the signing of a contract with you," Harden winked at Cheng Lei and whispered.
"By the way, you don't have an agent yet, do you? Would you like me to introduce you to one? Harden paused, then asked suddenly.
"That's not necessary, I think it's good to be alone, if one day I want to find an agent, I'm talking about it!" Cheng Lei declined Harden's good work of helping him find an economic man.
In fact, Cheng Lei also has his own plans, LeBron can turn his friend into one of the best agents in the league now, so why don't he also find his own person as an agent?
Cheng Lei is still confident in his future, and as his fame grows, then his agent's status in the alliance will become higher and higher.
Of course, there is a ready-made candidate, that is Wu Chunlei, who is now studying finance, and brokering is also one of the branches, which can be elective.
Thinking of this, Cheng Lei decided to have a good chat with Wu Chunlei after going back.
The influence of an agent on a player is also very great, if the United Arab Emirates could change an agent back then, it is estimated that he will also prove himself in the NBA now.
There are not a few agents in the NBA who pit players like this, and now, Cheng Lei has to admire LeBron's economic acumen, and what he can control by himself is definitely not handed over to outsiders.
However, Cheng Lei was not too happy, because he knew very well that if he signed a shoe contract now, then the contract would not look good, and if the sneaker contract was concerned, it was best to wait until the end of the season, and after his data was stable, he might be able to get a good contract.
As soon as Harden left on the front foot, Paul on the back foot walked over, and also mysteriously looked at the side and no one was paying attention to this side, before he began to ask: "Ray, I heard that you don't have a sneaker contract yet, right?" Do you want to think about the trapeze? ”
Paul's signature sneakers on his feet are Flyer, although there is no independent brand like LeBron, but being able to sign a Flyer is a dream of many people.
I rub, where is the sun coming out of the west today? The two bigwigs of the team coincidentally talked to themselves about the sneakers, Cheng Lei thought to himself, it is estimated that the giants of the two sports brands have noticed their performance and let their players contact him in advance.
Now, all potential rookies have been signed, and Cheng Lei has performed well, but there are still those who have been signed, just like a lone seedling, and it is difficult not to attract the attention of others.
Moreover, the market behind Cheng Lei is too huge, and Cheng Lei's current performance is much more eye-catching than Zhou Qi.
"I really haven't thought about sneakers, and there are no brands that fancy me!" Cheng Lei said with self-deprecation.
"Just kidding, how can there be no brand that takes a fancy to you, there will be a special person to contact you in a few days, and you can talk to them then!" Paul said directly.
After the training, Cheng Lei went back directly, and couldn't wait to call Wu Chunlei back from the store.
"I say, boss, are you in a hurry?" After Wu Chunlei received a call from Cheng Lei, he drove back directly.
"Do you have faith in me?" Cheng Lei asked directly.
"That's a must, what do we have to do with it!"
"Okay, are you interested in being a professional broker?" Cheng Lei looked at Wu Chunlei and asked.
"You want me to be your agent?" Wu Chunlei's mind turned very fast, worthy of being a good brother, and he guessed Cheng Lei's thoughts at once.
"Well, that's what it means, other people's words, I don't worry!"
"It's okay to be your agent, but we're just breaking in now, I'm afraid that people will laugh at you!" Wu Chunlei said worriedly.
As a newcomer, I used a new agent who has not yet entered the industry, and there will definitely be restrictions on Cheng Lei's future development.
"That's why I just asked you if you have confidence in me, what LeBron can do, I can do too!" Cheng Lei said confidently.
