081 Invitation
Yu Xiaochun lay on a lounger by the hotel's pool, basking in the sun leisurely, allowing the alcohol of two special cocktails "Genting" to slowly dissipate from her pores into the air. In the hot tropical weather, the alcohol volatilized quickly, and with the sea breeze blowing, Yu Xiaochun suddenly felt half awake. His "The Cultivation of a Sports Agent" was opened in half at random, and the fat on the belly was blocked by the belly. Yu Xiaochun just finished reading the official account push of "Three Lives and All Things" on his mobile phone, and he felt very satisfied. Adidas has mobilized a lot of resources for Yang Yiming, who is newly signed to its subsidiary, in addition to the exclusive advertising activities that will be launched later, the form of public account advertorials may be more acceptable to today's fans.
It seems that Yang Yiming's choice of the Adidas camp is really not wrong.
Yu Xiaochun couldn't help but be secretly proud of his choice. He turned his head and snapped his fingers at the bartender, motioning for another "Genting". Then he turned back and put on his sunglasses and continued to sunbathe.
The sun made his skin warm, and the humidity on the coastline, Yu Xiaochun held his mobile phone and flipped through it for a while, and actually fell asleep in the sun.
I don't know how long it took, Yu Xiaochun's comfortable "daydream" was suddenly interrupted by the ringing of the phone.
The phone rang so quickly, but Yu Xiaochun turned over and looked for a long time, only to find that the phone was pressed under the towel under him. I don't know when he pulled the towel from the side to cover himself, and I don't know when the phone was lost and ran under the towel. Probably because I slept too much. He fumbled for a vibrating phone from his towel and glanced at it, an unfamiliar phone number of +1 (U.S. international dialing code).
Who could it be?
"Hello. This is Yu Xiaochun. He was annoyed by the vibrating and ringing mobile phone, and the other party didn't seem to have the slightest intention of giving up the call. Yu Xiaochun picked up the phone and replied in English.
"Koharu, hello!"
"Hello... Who are you? β
"I'm the king."
King? The inexplicable answer on the other side made Yu Xiaochun very confused, who would call himself a king, it must be not in good spirits. I was definitely not dreaming, and the other party really answered the English word "king".
"I'm LeBron."
"LeBron?"
"yes, 'that' LeBron."
The opposite side emphasized "that" again, and Yu Xiaochun finally understood. The other party is saying that he is the only "that" LeBron. LeBron James. "Emperor". Although his nickname is translated as Emperor in China, King James is actually talking about King James. But - could it really be that LeBron himself called himself?
It's impossible!
"LeBron!" Yu Xiaochun hurriedly improvised and replied pretending to be familiar: "Hello." How is everything? I'm Yu Xiaochun. β
"I know."
"I'm Yang Yiming's agent." Yu Xiaochun confirmed that the deep and dominant voice on the other side should indeed be LeBron James, but he still didn't dare to confirm that LeBron made the right call or knew his identity.
Maybe I dialed the wrong number!
"I know that too. You are Yang Yiming's translator and agent. You've also run the DeMarcus Cousins transfer, nice moves. That's what I'm looking for. β
"Is that me?" Yu Xiaochun was so shocked that he opened his mouth: "But... But what are you looking for me for? As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that his words were a little reckless.
"I want you to think about something."
"Thinking about something? What's up? Yu Xiaochun simply gave up his respectful tone and asked directly and directly. Anyway, in this abrupt situation, he was unprepared and couldn't guess LeBron's true intentions at all.
"I want you to think about coming to Los Angeles."
"Los Angeles?!"
"Yes, join the Los Angeles Lakers."
If it weren't for LeBron James' explanation, Yu Xiaochun's first reaction would have been that the emperor was going to invite them to visit him in Los Angeles. James' team did have an appointment with Yu Xiaochun to meet in early September, but because the time of both sides was difficult to determine, it was finally agreed to choose a time before the start of the season. Yu Xiaochun began to think that LeBron was talking about this matter - of course it can't be that simple, Yu Xiaochun secretly scolded himself for his mind was still in a state of confusion, how could the emperor himself come forward when he agreed to meet once, not to mention that there was no need to think about it.
But, joining the Lakers?!
"Do you want us to join you?"
"That's right, Mr. Yu." LeBron explained carefully, "I hope you can come forward and persuade Mr. Yang Yiming to consider the proposal to join the Lakers and join my camp." Your role in this is very important. β
"But..."
"But why did I find you?"
"That's right..."Yu Xiaochun's brain was like an ancient clock that had not been oiled for decades, and he completely lost the ability to operate.
"Because I'm sure you'll understand what that means."
"What's the point?"
"If you can really run Mr. Yang Yiming to come to the Lakers β whether it's this season or in the next few years, we have enough salary space to match β you don't have to worry about the roster. If Dr. Yang and I had teamed up, he would have come to Los Angeles to play. He is by my side, seizing this precious time, and in the future, he may become my successor. β
"Successor!" This time, Yu Xiaochun understood. The old clock, which had just stopped, seemed to have suddenly found the right time to fall, and the hands on the dial were like strings in the brain, speeding up and spinning. "But how can this be true?!"
"How could it be?"
Indeed, if Yu Xiaochun had a God perspective, he would definitely find that at the beginning of this summer, LeBron James almost said the same thing to Ben Simmons.
Inherit the mantle.
Even if Yu Xiaochun can really operate successfully, Yang Yiming's transfer from the Houston Rockets to the Los Angeles Lakers, how likely is he to become Zhan Huang's successor? This must be just a rhetoric for Zhan Huang to recruit troops and expand the lineup for the Lakers in the new season!
"Didn't you train with Ben Simmons in Japan in the summer? He looks more like your handpicked successor. Yu Xiaochun's counterattack can be said to hit the nail on the head.
But LeBron James smiled unhurriedly: "Hahaha, you are worthy of being the agent who can run the Cousins transfer in the second year, you are very well informed." But in that case, I might as well tell you directly that Ben Simmons is not a good fit for the role. β
"Not suitable? Why? A lot of his performances and stats last year are very similar to you. β
"It's because it's so similarβif you're smart, you'll know that, Mr. Yu."
"You mean..."Yu Xiaochun's brain seemed to have been hit by an electric current suddenly.
"That's right. Ben Simmons and I are too similar. When two people are too similar, it becomes a little subtle. There are so many Jordan seconds, but can you tell me which Jordan second is really successful? You can never be the second Jordan, the second all-time best, the second "emperor". You can only be the first self. β
"I probably understand..."
"The first Yang Yiming. Only those who are like that are likely to take over my class. β
"The first Yang Yiming." Yu Xiaochun repeated it.
"Well, let's think about it. I'm waiting for your reply. β
With that, LeBron, the first and only one, hung up the phone.
