Chapter 122: Negotiators
Coach Sifol looked at Hoggist in surprise, "I didn't expect the old man to underestimate you, he originally wanted to send the chief press officer to help you solve the trouble, but I didn't expect you to have a way to deal with it!" ”
"Alas, don't hold it up, this has already made me sad enough! I'm going to train first! Hoggist smiled wryly and left with Cheeks.
Of course, they weren't the only ones who came to the arena early. Kolo. Molize's agent, brother Tevor, has also been hiding in the training gym, intending to make a last-ditch effort to bring in Hoggist to hype it up.
He came to the door of the training ground, looking for Hoggist through the glass door. Joseph, who was guarding the door, saw this sneaky figure, guessed that he was probably looking for Hogist, and thought to himself that since you were the first to come to the door, I will let you pick up a bargain and be the first to accept your interview!
Joseph opened the door and flashed out, smiled and asked, "Hello, what do you call and what do you do?" ”
Twin saw the Asian on the other side, although he looked young, but he was dressed maturely and decently, and he suspected that he was a staff member of the Spurs, in order to achieve the hype effect, Tver described his relationship with Hoggist more intimately, so he cheekily introduced himself: "My name is Tvor. Moritz is Haugist's Quasi-brother in la, and I'm here to talk to him about something! ”
Joseph heard that it was Kolo. Moriz's brother immediately changed his face, pulled down his face and choked: "Quasi-uncle? What is legally acceptable? Hoggist is still underage, where did you come out of such a cheap uncle? Stay where it's cool, where you are! ”
"Why are you so rude? Does it have anything to do with you when I talk to my brother-in-law-to-be? Is it your turn to come out and thwart? You're not going to help me find it, are you? Then you get out of the way for me, and I'll go in and find it myself. With that, Tever began to cut Joseph apart.
Joseph didn't expect this dignified star agent to do it directly without speculation, but this also didn't make it difficult for Joseph, although they were all talking on paper before, but Joseph could also deal with it in actual combat, he knew that now Mollitz's side was eager to find Hougist to jointly hype a unified voice before other reporters, so if you want to scare this agent brother now, the best way is not to call a security guard but a reporter, so Joseph threatened: "You actually dare to do it!" Believe it or not, I called journalists to expose your barbarism? ”
Tewall wasn't afraid of reporters exposing him, but if other reporters knew that Hoggist really had nothing to do with her sister, he would be really embarrassed.
Tever covered Joseph's mouth, pulled him to the stairwell, and said in a low voice: "Sir, let's discuss everything, let me go in and talk to Haugist, how about I give you a dozen autographed portraits of Colo?" ”
"What are you going to say to Haugist?" Joseph asked slyly.
"This is a private matter of our family, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to tell you." Tever said with a smile on his face.
"I'm sorry then, I'm Hoggist. Hurley, the authorized agent of Mr. Helian Wu in Chinese, has full authority to represent Mr. Hurley in dealing with the Kolo Brown circulating on the Internet. Molise and his scandal problem. So if you have anything to say, just tell me. Joseph straightened his suit and said in a wry tone.
What the? Are you kidding? He, a high school student, is so professional in dealing with this kind of problem? Tevor's was taken aback when he heard this, it seems that this high school student is by no means an idle person, and it is not easy to fool! I don't know if this broker is good or not. Let's talk to him about the favorable conditions for Hogist!
"My sister is the dream girl of teenagers all over the United States! It is also compatible with Haugist's age, not to mention that the media exposure with my sister is very different from now, and the ability to attract gold at that time cannot be compared to the maximum salary of the NBA. Doesn't Hoggist want to be famous? Don't want to make a lot of money? "Tever put and Kolo. The benefits of Moritz's love are described with added emotion.
"It's a good depiction, but unfortunately it's just a castle in the air. But although I can refute you one by one, there is no need for that, and my client's intention is to clarify to the public the misunderstanding between him and your sister, and to draw a line with you, because this misunderstanding has hurt his girlfriend's feelings, and he hopes that you will not disturb his and his girlfriend's happy life again. ”
Tevor's feelings hurt when he heard Joseph's words, isn't my sister at all attractive to Haugist? Is Hougist bluffing and trying to get more substantial benefits, or is he genuinely loyal to his feelings? It seems that you can only test it with real money!
Having made up his mind, Tewall asked again tentatively, "Does Haugist really have no feelings for my sister?" Even if he doesn't like my sister, he can follow the hype! This can also bring him a lot of benefits! Shouldn't you, as Hoggist's agent, strive to maximize his interests? ”
"Not to mention that there are many benefits that can be brought by dating, even with Kolo. Molise dating itself is already a pie-in-the-sky thing! I've also advised Hoggist to even try dating at the same time? It's a pity that he was righteously refused, and I deeply regret it. Joseph paused, revealing a lewd expression, "Actually, if Chloe really wants to fall in love, you can consider me!" I'd love to be with her! ”
"Please be respectful, and don't make such a joke about my sister that people hate." Tevor's face changed, although the agent is chasing profits, but Chloe is his own sister after all, and he will not let others make fun of his sister for no reason.
"Okay, no kidding, let's get down to business. Whether it was money or beauty, Mr. Hurley didn't want it, he just wanted the peaceful life that used to be. So whatever you want to publicize this matter is, you can do it, but we will clarify this matter in the media as soon as possible, and then you will only be responsible for all the consequences. Joseph's tone seemed light-hearted, but the weight of his words was not light.
"Isn't there any room for negotiation?" Tever asked.
"Not at all with Mr. Hurley." Joseph replied.
"So it's still negotiable with you?" Tever could hear that Joseph seemed to have something off the strings.
"I can consider taking your sister here!" Joseph turned out to be playing tricks on Tevor.
Tevor's anger was felt when he heard Joseph repeatedly reveal his thoughts about his sister, but thinking about the pressure from the film investor and his sister's future star career, he gritted his teeth and decided to start throwing money at Joseph, "What if we pay $100,000?" $100,000 in cash directly to Hoggist, we do not participate in the sharing of other separate income obtained by Hoggist's speculation, and Hoggist takes 60% of the common income, so what do you think? ”
"This ......" Joseph didn't expect the other party to give cash, no matter how Tewall painted the cake before, but those interests were not real money placed there, most of them were intangible assets, and the invisible fame and fortune might have a great attraction to some people, but for Joseph, these were like flowers in the moon mirror in the water, which had no attraction at all, and could not affect the values that Hoggist passed on to him. But the meaning of this $100,000 is completely different, the real money is in hand, he can buy a new car tomorrow, buy a lot of luxury goods for Vitra, but he completely forgets that this money is not for him.
"How? Think about it, right? If you can't be the master, you can discuss it with Hogist. ”
Originally, Joseph was going to make the decision for Haugist and agree to the conditions offered by Tevor, but Tevor's superfluous words woke up Joseph, he was negotiating for Haugist, the will of the eldest brother is the most important, he has known Haugist for more than ten years, and he will be a good brother for a lifetime in the future, how can he cheat his father at this critical moment?
Joseph shook his head, "The conditions are very tempting, I can help you ask Mr. Hurley's attitude, of course, I can't control whether it will be successful or not." ”
Joseph turned around and walked back to the door of the training ground, Tevor's wanted to go in with him, but Joseph stretched out his hand to stop him, "You just wait outside, stop those reporters by the way, you don't want them to break in and find Mr. Hurley directly, right?" ”
"Just kidding, I'm more familiar than my sister in the paparazzi and journalist circles, they'll recognize me!" Twor said worriedly.
"Hmm......" Joseph looked down in thought, but saw the large sunglasses that Hougist had just worn stuck in his jacket pocket. Joseph took out his sunglasses and put them on Tevor, took two steps back and observed them carefully, shook his head, took off his suit and draped it on Tevor, looked at it again, and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction this time, "It's okay now, you look like a security guard, you are here to guard, and a reporter has come to coax them all away in my name!" ”
"......" Tewall gave Joseph a big white look, but unfortunately through his sunglasses, it was completely indestructive to Joseph.
During the time Joseph and Tever had a secret meeting in the stairwell, another Joseph - Spurs guard Corey. Joseph was also on the court and was working on his three-point shooting with Hoggist, who was still practicing his left-handed shot.
This is tiring Cheeks, who picked up the ball for them, and in only half an hour or so, he was already out of the body - oil! Because Cheeks is too fat and his complexion is bright black, he looks shiny and shiny when he is sweating profusely.
Seeing Joseph coming, Hougist stopped shooting and introduced the two to each other: "Joseph, this is Joseph; Joseph, this is Joseph. ”
The two knew that Hoggist was deliberately playing a prank, and at the same time gave him a blank look, shook hands and introduced each other, "Hello, my name is Joseph. Bill, Hougist's varsity teammate and agent. ”
"Hello, I'm Corey. Joseph. "Corey. Joseph's self-introduction is succinct.
After the two got to know each other, Joseph glanced at Haugist, "Haugist, last time my game console was left with you, did you take it with you?" ”
Hoggist understood, nodded and agreed: "It's in my bag, you can follow me to the locker room to get it!" ”
Haugist took Joseph to a secluded place, Joseph told Haugistt about the conditions offered by Tvor, and Haugist refused without considering the conditions offered by Tvor, "Don't talk about 100,000 cash, even if 1 million cash is placed in front of me, I won't be tempted!" Do you know that there is an old saying in our motherland, 'A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way', and I can ask for this kind of money? Let's compare our hearts to hearts, if a male star pays for your sister-in-law to pretend to be a couple with him to hype, what kind of mentality will I have? I'm afraid I have a murderous heart! ”
"Okay, big brother, as soon as you say this, I will understand completely, this matter is not a matter of how much money, but about mutual respect between two people who love each other! I know how to answer him. Joseph said thoughtfully, "But have you thought about it, big brother?" Can you and Qiu Jingli really go on forever? In case you break up in a few years, will you regret it when you think back to the little beauty and the $100,000 in front of you? ”
"A few years later, when I get a million annual salary in the NBA, will I regret the 100,000? As for the beauty! If Li'er really breaks up with me, it is estimated that I will never believe in love again, and it doesn't matter if I regret it or not. Speaking of breaking up with Qiu Jingli, Haugist's tone suddenly became very sentimental.
"You are so affectionate and righteous to your sister-in-law, I hope she will not disappoint you." Joseph left the hallway with emotion.
Back at the door, Tvor's exuberant ask, "How's it going?" Did Hougist gladly accept it? ”
Joseph silently took off his suit jacket and put it back on himself, took off his sunglasses and wiped his pockets back, and said lightly to Tevor: "No matter how much money you give, Mr. Hurley will not accept it, at 10 o'clock in the morning, I will hold a press conference at the gate to announce Mr. Hurley's statement to reporters, and tell you our decision 2 hours in advance, which can be regarded as our benevolence and duty, you better think about countermeasures as soon as possible!" ”
Without waiting for Tevor's response, Joseph turned around and went back to the training ground and closed the glass door.
Tevor's gaffe patted the glass door and shouted: "The price is negotiable, 100,000 is not enough, 200,000 is not okay?" Seeing that Joseph was indifferent, Tewall gritted his teeth and decided to add another 100,000 himself, "Is 300,000 okay?" At most, it's 300,000, and I really can't get any more! ”
Joseph didn't answer, but pointed to his watch and motioned to Tevor's time to figure it out for himself.
Tvor's disappointment is palpable, and the only consolation is that Hoggist is indeed very dedicated to his feelings, and his sister does not like the wrong person.
The reporters at the door gathered more and more, and Tver had no choice but to hide back in the stairwell, and began to worry about how to talk back to President Langley, just as he was afraid of something, at this time, Langley's phone call came in.
