Chapter 59 Agent Candidates
After the competition with the University of Tennessee, Bai Xiaonian and his new friend Cordoba visited the bus board Chinese restaurant in Chinatown.
"Xiao Nian, have you decided which team to go to this year?"
Although Bai Xiaonian's own father is not interested in basketball, Bai Sizhe's friend is an out-and-out true fan.
Before Bai Xiaonian could answer Huang Daniu, he said to himself: "I think the Los Angeles Lakers are good, Kobe Bryant is now at the end of his peak, and your relationship with Volute is also good, maybe you can mix a championship first and have fun..."
Bai Xiaonian opened his mouth weakly, and was about to give a speech, and Huang Daniu, who was a little excited, interrupted again:
"The Clippers are also a good choice, and although the team has a poor record this year, they are willing to give you a central position, so that your playing time can be guaranteed, which is good for your future growth."
Stunned to look at Uncle Huang Da Niu, who analyzed his career well, Bai Xiaonian couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and then said with some embarrassment:
"Uncle Huang, in fact, I haven't thought about it so much, I think as long as there is a team willing to choose me, it's okay, and it's not up to me to decide which team to go to."
Córdoba on the side also chimed in:
"That's right, uncle, don't worry about it, with Wood's strength, don't you have a team to want?"
After a few hours of getting along, Cordoba admired Bai Xiaonian even more, and even admired it a little, looking like he regarded Bai Xiaonian as a big brother.
Huang Da Niu picked at his head, which had a few hairs, and glanced at the two little children sitting together, and said helplessly:
"A team that is right for you can bring you a lot of unexpected benefits, and while they may not be immediately apparent, they can have a profound and lasting impact on your career, and you won't know until later in your career whether you make the right decision now."
Squinting his eyes, he thought about it and said, "Actually, I think you should ask your dad to find you an agent, he has a lot of resources, I mean really!" ”
"Agent?!"
Bai Xiaonian never considered the issue of hiring an agent, in his previous thinking, he thought that agents were useless except for sucking the blood of players, and they could do what they could do.
"That's right! A good broker can not only provide you with more professional business services, but also help you focus more on the field. ”
Huang Daniu explained the necessity of hiring an agent for Bai Xiaonian from the perspective of a senior basketball fan and a businessman who went to the sea to do business.
After eating and waving goodbye to Córdoba, Bai Xiaonian fell into deep thought, carefully savoring the advice that Huang Da Niu had just given him, he felt more and more that he had the need to hire an agent, at least when he was busy with the game, he would not be distracted by things off the field.
Back at home, Bai Xiaonian told his father about his entanglement, and it was obvious that Bai Sizhe also agreed very much with the advice given by his old friend.
"Stinky boy, if you need a professional agent, I have a few candidates here, although I am not a big name in the circle, but the most basic strength is still there."
"Dad! Awesome X! Bai Xiaonian gave Bai Sizhe a thumbs up with a hippie smile, although his old man usually doesn't look very reliable, but he is still very reliable at the critical moment.
In the next few days, Bai Xiaonian buried his head all day long in the various agent information that Bai Sizhe threw to him, choosing the object he liked, but no matter how he screened each agent, there were things that made him dissatisfied...
Just when our little white children's shoes scratched their heads for their agents, a strange phone call came to Bai Xiaonian's house, and Bai Yanyu, who happened to be watching TV on the phone, picked up the phone.
"Hey! Hello, is this Wood White's home? ”
A vicissitudes of life but a powerful voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Well, yes! This is the Wood family, may I ask if you are..."
Chao Bai Xiaonian made a gesture to find you, and then our little white children's shoes motioned to his cousin to ask who came first, he was busy looking for an agent in his hand and did not have time to greet a stranger he didn't know.
"My name is Jeff Schwartz and I'm an agent, I don't think Wood has his own agent right now! I don't know if I have this honor? ”
"Hey! Little White Brother is an agent named Schwartz who came to you and said he wanted to be your agent. ”
After listening to Jeff Schwartz's words, Bai Yanyu said to Bai Xiaonian.
Bai Xiaonian searched for this name in his mind, which made him feel a little familiar, and then subconsciously thought that it was an unknown agent who he had read the information a few days ago and wanted to sign him, a hot player, in order to soar to the sky.
In the past few days, almost everyone in the agent circle knows that UCLA's elves are looking for agents, so there have been many small agents calling to promote themselves, of course, Bai Xiaonian politely rejected them, he is not willing to put his career in the hands of these unreliable guys.
After hanging up the phone to her cousin, Bai Yanyu hung up the phone without hesitation, since she watched Bai Xiaonian's match against the University of Tennessee, she directly incarnated as Bai Xiaonian's little fan brother, and now her attitude towards Bai Xiaonian has taken a 180-degree turn compared to the original.
Jeff Schwartz, who was about to continue to introduce himself on the other end of the phone, listened to the busy tone on the phone in a daze.
Hung up on your own? This stinky boy really doesn't give any face! Although he was a little unhappy, Jeff Schwartz still dialed Bai Xiaonian's house again.
This time, it was Bai Xiaonian himself who picked up the phone, but he wanted to see who was so thick-skinned and wanted to call and sell himself one after another.
"Sorry! I've never heard of your name at all, and if you don't want to waste your time, I think you can hang up. ”
Jeff Schwartz laughed and coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, it was the first time he had been rejected twice by the same corrugated kid.
"I said Wood, I think you should ask Blake what he thinks of his agent..."
"You mean Griffin? Are you his agent? So you are... Oh my god, you're that Jeff! ”
How could Griffin's famous agent Jeff Schwartz not know about it, but he didn't expect that the NBA super agent would come to the door to promote himself, so his head didn't react for a while.
"It's like a fake! I don't think anyone in the current alliance would dare to pretend to be an old man like me, if you want, we can sit down tomorrow and talk, maybe you will change your mind now? ”
Soon the two set a time and place for the next day's meeting on the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Xiaonian still couldn't believe that the most powerful super agent in the alliance actually called to invite him personally.
Jeff Schwartz, one of the top agents in the NBA these days, is a name that anyone who knows the league will surely know.
You must know that Kidd, Pierce, and Odom were all players in his hands, and even Dazhi, who is well known to Chinese fans, had a good cooperation with Jeff...
