Chapter 404: Contracts are like snowflakes! (b)

"Come in. ~With~Dream~Small~Say~ั‰~Suimะตng~Lฤ"

Gu Yu was still outside the door, chatting with the security guard, and inside the house, Petri, the manager of the Sacramento Kings at the time, shouted loudly.

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ The manager said that there is something very important to tell you, so I hope you will come to him when you arrive. โ€

The security guard heard the manager's voice and knew that time could not be delayed, so he lifted Gu Yu's luggage in his hand, and said while retreating: "Cousin, I'll help you put your luggage in the locker room, if you need my help to send it to your accommodation in a while, you just speak!" I'll go first, in vain! โ€

"I ......"

Before Gu Yu's response could be spoken, the security guy had already run away, leaving Gu Yu alone to stand in the wind outside Petri's door.

"Something important?? What could be more important than practice?! โ€

Gu Yu scratched his head, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Petri's gourd, but he still turned around and pushed open Petri's door with a big grin: "Petri, it is said that you have something to play, I am here!" โ€

"Poof......!"

Petri was drinking coffee, burying his head in the pile of papers, and as soon as he heard Gu Yu's voice, a mouthful of coffee squirted out directly and spilled on the table.

"Damn, ......"

Looking at the documents in front of him covered with coffee stains, Petri's head instantly became two bigger, and he didn't know whether to scold himself, or scold himself, or scold himself.

"Let me tell you, my time is precious, summer is the best time to rise, I have practiced a lot less in order to participate in the Olympics, so I have something to say, I will practice after speaking!"

Gu Yu didn't care about anything, strode to Petri's desk, and sat directly on the guest seat without looking, as if this was his office and Petri was the one who came to him for something.

"Cousin, ......"

Although Petri was wailing for the documents in his heart, he was still a little happy to see Gu Yu coming, and said with a smile: "The Olympics are good, it's hard!" Congratulations, you have won the Olympic championship again, you deserve admiration!! โ€

"Where, where, as it should be!"

Gu Yu's answer didn't mean to be humble at all, okay......!!

"The ......"

Although there are indeed a lot of things to say to Gu Yu, but Gu Yu really came, Petri was a little confused, and he hesitated for a while, and he didn't know where to start, remembering that he seemed to hear the voice of Gu Yu talking to someone at the door just now, so he changed the topic as if chatting: "Who was my cousin talking to just now?" โ€

"Security guy!"

Gu Yu pointed to the door and said, "I'm very enthusiastic, I'm a little embarrassed to help me carry my luggage all the way!" โ€

You'll be embarrassed to have a ghost, okay!

Thinking so in his heart, Petri didn't forget Gu Yu's "glorious deeds" of beating Kahn on the draft day, and forcibly resisted the urge to complain in his heart and said, "What are you talking about?" โ€

"I'm just a little weird."

Gu Yu frowned and said, "I clearly led the team with Lao Chen, killed your American team, and won the Olympic championship, why don't you hate me?" โ€

"The reason for this is actually very simple."

Petri nodded, "Emotionally speaking, we both hate you, and we hate you to the core. Because of you, because of Chen, our Olympic men's basketball revival plan has been postponed for ten years. You know, since losing the '04 title, no, the '02 World Championship, we've been hungry for revenge. Now that we have been defeated by you again, the next time we want to challenge for the Olympic title, we will have to wait another four years, so it is understandable that we hate you. โ€

"However, from a rational point of view, or from the perspective of the values of the United States, we have no reason to hate you at all."

Well......?

Gu Yu was stunned when he heard this.

Values?

Do you like a player, and it comes to values??

Is it so mysterious!

"In the United States, on the American continent, we believe only in the strong."

Petri's words cleared the doubts in Gu Yu's heart.

"The fittest survive, the strong live forever."

Petri said: "In other countries, in other places, maybe everyone will let the emotions get carried away, even if someone is particularly powerful, they are not willing to admit that the other party is powerful, but they are trapped in their own emotions and can't get out, and in the end they can only watch the other party defeat themselves again and again, but they can't do anything." โ€

"But in America, we believe, and only believe, the strong. No matter what you do, no matter how much you dash our hopes, whether you step on our corpses or stand on the top. As long as you are strong enough and convincing enough to convince us, then we have no reason to hate you. On the contrary, we will instead throw ourselves into the five bodies that you admire. โ€

Indeed it is.

Gu Yu nodded.

Ginobili is the same thing, it stands to reason that Ginobili alone destroyed the dream of the American team to be the number one in the world with one hand, and slapped the American team from the invincible god above 10,000 people to the ground, hit the ground with his face fiercely, and fell to his head for six years.

If you want to talk about the "enemy" of the American team, Ginobili's status in the minds of American fans is probably only lower than that of the Chinese team and Chen Mu, who have defeated them in two consecutive Olympic Games.

This kind of player, for any fan of the American team, would be angry, resentful, and even hateful.

However, because Ginobili is strong enough and the strength he shows on the field is too much, the psychology of the Americans who envelop the strong still has the upper hand.

You use a loophole in the rules to kill us, and we don't accept it. You use crooked ways to kill us, and we don't accept it. You used off-the-field factors to kill us, and we are even more unconvinced.

But if you use your strength, there is no doubt about killing us.

We, convinced!

These are the values of Americans.

"For you, Chen, and Ginobili before him, we Americans, especially those in the basketball circle, have a simple idea."

Petri continued: "You are strong enough, so strong that we can't beat it, we have nothing to say about our loss, and it is only natural to shout congratulations to you. But don't think we're going to stop there, or we're willing to fall at your feet. We will study, we will study, we will use all the power at our disposal, whether it be the finances or the mind, to analyze you, to read you, to study all the details of you, and then we will overcome you. โ€

"It's not just basketball, football, table tennis, badminton, diving...... And so on and so forth, we all think this way and do it. We have the most powerful economic strength in the world so far, and we have the world's leading scientific and technological level and social conditions, we believe that through hard work, we may not be able to completely overthrow your rule, but one day, we will definitely catch up with you as much as possible, and even sit on an equal footing with you, and finally complete the surpass. โ€

What Americans think, that's as simple as that.

So instead of hating you, we will appreciate you, praise you, reflect on ourselves, and look for what we haven't done. Maybe we're not your match yet, but when we catch up, you'll ......"

As he spoke, Petri looked at Gu Yu's eyes, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and the unique sense of superiority belonging to Americans was revealed: "But you have to be careful......!" โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Hey, didn't you say that you had something important to tell me, why didn't you say it, I want to practice, hey! โ€

As a result, Gu Yu didn't listen to what Petri was saying at all......

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ Ahem, ahem! โ€

Petri was also a little embarrassed, coughed a few times, lowered his head and grabbed a stack of documents in the vast pile of documents on the table, handed it to Gu Yu and said, "See for yourself." โ€

"Hmmm......"

As a result, Gu Yu frowned and took a rough look at this pile of things.

The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became.

"Contract."

Petri saw the change in Gu Yu's expression, and said with a smile: "All of them are commercial contracts, countless endorsements, advertising, promotion, and activity contracts. Because you told me when you went to the national team before, you don't know how to turn on your phone, you will concentrate on games and practice, and if there is anything, let me help you first, so I didn't notify you in advance and kept saving for you. โ€

"You don't know in London how many businesses are crying out this summer to work with you and ask you to advertise for them. How many non-profit organizations want you to endorse them, because your influence has grown, so they are in a hurry. โ€

It's really all contracts!

Petri said, Gu Yu looked at them one by one, the heavy contracts in his hand were extremely numerous, and the industries and types involved far exceeded Gu Yu's imagination.

What microwave ovens, refrigerators, cars, mobile phones, computers, beverages, food, websites, gym equipment...... Wait, wait, whatever, pure commercial contracts, needless to say.

Even social organizations such as animal protection associations and consumer protection associations came to the door, wanting to move them with emotion and reason, and impress Gu Yu to stand for them for free.

But......

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ What's going on with this 'World Federation of Caring for the Disabled'! โ€

Gu Yu couldn't help but smile and waved an application in his hand, eager to slap it directly on Petri's face.

"It is said that they think your style of play is particularly 'hard', so ......"

Petri also held back a smile, obviously deliberately keeping this contract to disgust Gu Yu, seeing that Gu Yu was really going to slap the contract on his face, Petri hurriedly stepped back and waved his hand: "No, no, no, no joke!" This is a joke! Don't worry, cousin! I have sorted out all the contracts and understood them, and the unreliable ones have been eliminated, and the rest are high-quality contracts, absolutely assured!! โ€

"Really?"

Gu Yu didn't believe it.

"Of course!"

Petri nodded heavily and said: "Some of these key contracts, I also personally called to communicate, and even met, I'm serious, okay!" Whoever left you without an agent, I have to do this for you! โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ How much more work have you done? โ€

Gu Yu was a little skeptical.

"Nonsense, otherwise I'll tell you this to find death!"

Petri looked proud: "I'm also a business ...... Ahh โ€

"The business elite are all mercenary, you don't charge a penny, do so many things for me, there must be yin...... Ahh โ€

Gu Yu was not stupid, he slapped the table and said, "Say!" What purpose do you have! โ€

"Hmm...... Speaking of which......"

Petri smiled, finally got to the point, leaned forward and said: "Your contract 1+1 has expired, and the team still has the right to invite contracts first, but we think that it would be too rude to you to do that, so we have prepared a new contract, the amount you can rest assured, our salary space is the most adequate in the league." โ€

Contract issues!

As soon as Petri said this, Gu Yu immediately understood.

The drunkard doesn't mean to drink, Petri really doesn't want to be a volunteer for himself, doing so much extra work, the purpose is to attract himself to sign with the team and not go to other teams!

"As long as you are willing to sign, it doesn't matter if you ask a broker or not in the future, I will find someone to be responsible for all the broker work. If you're not at ease, I'll do it myself! So here's the problem......"

In Petri's eyes, a sense of anticipation was about to burst out, and he looked at Gu Yu with great sincerity.

"Cousin, excuse me, ...... Would you like to stay in Sacramento and join the king in your reign ......? โ€
