Chapter 49: You Gotta Laugh

Zhang Wei was thinking about how to deal with this matter, and the mobile phone in his trouser pocket suddenly vibrated non-stop, and he felt as if 28 had been electrified. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"This broken phone is too shaky."

Zhang Wei hurriedly took out the phone, and sure enough, Cao Cao Cao arrived, and it was his agent who called.

"Mr. Arne, I guess you're here for those two bastards who humiliated me."

Zhang Yu will not pretend to be stupid in front of his agent, which will make people think that he is easy to deceive.

"Yes, that's what I'm doing for that."

Arne Trim also went to watch the Lakers game yesterday, and he originally handed over part of Zhang's work to his subordinates, and the only players he was responsible for were Reggie Miller and O'Neal.

But after watching the game yesterday, Trim took that part of the work back.

As a gold agent, his vision is not much worse than Jerry West's, and although it was only a summer league game yesterday, Trim can see that Zhang Qian will at least be an All-Star player in the future.

Early this morning, Trim got the news, and after learning the whole thing in detail, he knew right away that this was a great hype opportunity!

This discrimination incident is not only not a bad thing in Trim's eyes, but a great opportunity for him to quickly increase his popularity for Zhang Zhu!

As long as he takes advantage of this discrimination incident, he is sure that Zhang Yi will become a hot topic in the national news in the short term, and take this opportunity to quickly increase his fame.

At this moment, his working group is already meeting to discuss how to use this great opportunity to make a splash, and the contacts and resources he has mastered for so many years are also starting to operate, and SFX Sports is ready to fully cooperate......

That's the efficiency and energy of a big-name broker, and a big brokerage firm.

They don't have much oil and water on Zhang Zhu's salary, but the future endorsement is the focus of Trim's agent and SFX's profits.

And the size of fame is the key to measuring how big a contract a player can get, which is why all stars hype themselves.

Zhang Zhu's choice of a gold medal agent is not wrong, if there is no influential agent at this moment, he can only stare dryly, no matter how the outside media reports this matter, he can only let things develop naturally as if he has nothing to do with him.

But now it's different, he can control the whole thing, and no matter how Trim and SFX operate, he at least has the right to know and the right to advise.

Arne Trim was one of the best agents in the NBA in the '90s, and his handling of this incident, big or small, was uncomplicated.

First of all, of course, it is necessary to use your own connections and resources to expand it, preferably to the point that the president, who is sitting in the White House and cheating with an intern, knows about it, and this is the first step to complete the plan.

As for the second step plan, it is necessary to see how far the first step plan goes.

Anyway, they are not afraid of this matter, what are they afraid of, they are not afraid of the United Nations!

Since Zhang Mao came to the United States for a tryout, the American media has ridiculed him as a "hillbilly".

Maybe for people in the American basketball world, people from Australia are not just buns in the basketball field. And Zhang Qian is still Chinese, so there's nothing wrong with saying that.

However, this soil bun is very competitive and has never given people a chance to fall into the well, which makes many people secretly disappointed.

So, the two idiots couldn't bear it anymore, so they stretched out their **.

These two guys, one thinks he's smart and the other thinks he's humorous, but neither of them thinks that a really smart person is preparing to take advantage of the opportunity to do something.

In Trim's eyes, these two people are the kind of true heroes and true virgins who take the initiative to send their faces to fulfill others!

Zhang Wei not only shouldn't be angry with them, but he should also thank the eight ancestors of these two people!

Generally, such brain-dead media people will only appear in brain-dead novels, and in reality, especially in this era, there are really not many.

Trim and SFX will not be in vain, and the brokerage contract they signed with Zhang Zhu includes a salary and commercial endorsement sharing agreement, also known as a "commission".

Zhang Zhu has no opinion on this, this kind of commission has industry norms, and the agent of NBA players can only take 4% of the salary of his players, which is the amount specified by the NBA, so the agent cannot get too much benefit from this cake.

But if the player receives the endorsement and shoots the advertisement, then the agent's draw is more, generally more than 20%, and the gold agent and large companies can reach 30%, and this amount is distributed by the latter two.

The NBA is much stronger than the chaos of the football industry in this regard, at least the percentage of the commission is transparent, and the gold medal agent will naturally ask for a higher price. If the player thinks it's not worth it, then he can find his relatives as an agent, many low-level players do this, which is called fat water does not flow into the field of outsiders.

During the same period, many Argentine and Brazilian football players had to sign a sales agreement with their home agent before going to Europe, and they couldn't go abroad without signing this contract, which was comparable to the Chinese Basketball Association at this time, and the darkness was still excessive.

Trim can only take 4% of Zhang Zhu's salary now, and Zhang Zhu will have to pay 25% of the pre-tax share of the endorsement contract contacted by the brokerage company in the future.

But if the company takes the initiative to find Zhang Zhu to endorse, Trim can only get a 5% hardship fee.

There are still many detailed clauses in Zhang Zhu's agent contract, and his father deliberately found his classmates in the legal profession to act as Zhang Zhu's lawyer before signing the contract.

His father is a high-achieving student who graduated from Harvard, although he is very painful when dealing with emotional problems, but the advantage of being a good man is that he has a lot of friends.

Zhang Mo, who was born in Harvard, has elite-level classmates in all walks of life, and even many old classmates in politics, which makes Trim dare not make small moves.

These guys from world-famous schools, who knows what kind of friends they will have?

In the future, the president of the United States will be his classmate, and this is the so-called elite.

Zhang Yu learned about all of Trim's plans on the phone, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with him, and that improving his reputation would not harm him, and maybe his reputation would also rise.

And with this kind of hype, he feels that it is at least much better than celebrities using scandals or even scandals, so he adopts Triem's hype plan in its entirety.

Trim then sent him a fax, a temporary interview with his staff, which taught him how to deal with reporters.

This is obviously worried that Zhang Fu's misstatement in front of the media will affect his plan, but this is a bit underestimating Zhang Fu, he knows what he should say at this time.

The next day, the Lakers scheduled a practice session in the afternoon.

When Zhang Qi came to the training hall, there were already many reporters waiting to interview him at the gate.

As soon as these people saw the protagonist appear, they immediately rushed up, and the speed made Zhang Wei secretly speechless.

"Awesome! It was the first time that so many journalists had come to interview me. ”

Zhang Wei was so beautiful in his heart, he played so well yesterday, and only a dozen big and small cats chased him after the game.

But he didn't expect to be scolded, and he suddenly rushed out to interview him with an American reporter, so it's no wonder why those celebrities like others to scold them, and now he wants to spend some money to find someone to scold him.

"Leon, I'm a reporter for the Los Angeles Entertainment Newspaper, can you tell me what you think about ESPN's attack on you as a pig?"

"Leon, I'm a reporter for the Pink in Los Angeles, can you tell me what you think about Whitlock's attack on your ****?"

"I'm a reporter for the Los Angeles corked newspaper......"

"I'm a ...... from the Los Angeles Spring Journal"

"I'm a ...... from the Los Angeles Orcs"

"I'm a ...... from the Los Angeles Driver's Newspaper"

“……”

Zhang Fu was shocked, hearing the names of so many strange tabloids at once, he was not good.

Besides, what kind of bullshit newspapers and magazines are these, what the hell is that car king? And why are even humans and beasts coming out, can you still have a heavier taste?

When the Lakers' doormen saw that Zhang Qi was surrounded, they immediately gathered the strength of two squads and prepared to step forward to grab people.

"It's okay, it's okay, they have no ill intentions, I know what happened last night, and now it's half an hour before the start of training, and I can answer your questions."

Zhang Wei completely lost his coldness in the team, and in the face of these fast-running reporters, one of his faces had already smiled like a flower, and the idol-level expression of immature and sunny face was taken out by him again.

The Los Angeles Times reporters stood at the back of the crowd, feeling undignified to be huddled together with a bunch of nasty tabloids.

But when Zhang asked them questions first, the Los Angeles Times reporter immediately had a lot of good feelings about this mixed-race child.

Zhang Mao is not stupid, and of course he must give priority to the Los Angeles Times in Los Angeles, which is the newspaper with the highest circulation in the region, and must not be easily slackened.

The Los Angeles Times reporter immediately asked, "Hello, Lyons." As we all know, in the United States, the problem of racial discrimination is not uncommon, and although it has been explicitly prohibited, it is difficult to eradicate it. You were racist last night, can you tell us how you feel? ”

Zhang Fu did not follow the official routine on the fax, he replied: "I was angry last night, I have seen this kind of racial discrimination too much, but this is the first time I have encountered a situation of attacking my work." Before Zhang Fu's words fell, laughter had already sounded all around, and these reporters didn't expect Zhang Fu to take the initiative to mention it.

Zhang Qi waited for them to finish laughing before continuing: "When I was a child, I would sit at the back of the school bus every day because I was worried that someone would throw me with a banana peel. ”

His words quickly stopped the reporters from laughing, because they seemed to be a little sensitive.

"I know it's not easy to discuss this topic, but what I want to say is that if the three colors want to understand each other, there will always be all kinds of difficulties, especially for three such huge races, we can only wait for the progress of human civilization, and understand and tolerate other cultures with a larger mind."

Zhang Qi doesn't keep mentioning sensitive things, he just goes a little deeper, and then immediately changes the conversation, and it becomes an official answer.

"Leon, can you tell us about the discrimination you were made against as a child?" The reporter of "USA Today" asked, they think that sensitivity means topicality, this topic can still be deepened, what are you afraid of free speech?

Zhang Wei shook her head: "That is in the past, we have to look forward, change needs to start with people's education, and there must be those influential people who stand up and set an example, just like Martin Luther." ”

He was a little embarrassed, and forcibly raised himself several floors high.

But these reporters didn't think about it so much, who would have thought that a little kid would be so unreligious.

Zhang continued: "Although civilization can only advance one small step at a time, as long as we maintain hope for the future, this phenomenon will be resolved sooner or later. So I suggest that you spread the 'seeds' of love today, starting with saying hello to your neighbors, colleagues, and friends of different colors. ”

Reporters applauded Zhang Mao's words, in fact, his words are very hypocritical, if they are said by the mouth of a politician, it will definitely be disgusting.

But now from the mouth of Zhang Fu, an 18-year-old sunny boy, it is 100% positive energy.

If you combine Zhang Mao's harmless idol-level appearance and superb acting skills, even these reporters who have seen the dark side of the world can't help but be moved by the positive energy he released.

After Zhang Qi finished the interview and walked into the training hall, these teammates, who were destined to be short-lived, were also discussing him.

He could see that some people still had some smiles on the corners of their mouths, obviously feeling very cool about his discrimination, which also showed that Zhang Mao's popularity in the team was not good.

But this is not to blame others, when he was facing these teammates, he was not as sunny as he was in front of those reporters outside, and at this moment he had already recovered his cold appearance, too lazy to talk to these****** Larry Drew deliberately stepped forward to comfort him for a few words, and found that this Zhang Yu didn't seem to be affected too much, and this time he finally let go of the worries in his heart.

After the day's training, Zhang Qian did not return to the apartment.

Jerry West was going to take him with him to the magician's house, who invited him to dinner at the house, an invitation he couldn't refuse.

The Logo Man has always been an unsmiling man, and he doesn't like to joke like most Americans.

Every time Zhang Qi saw him, he basically had a serious expression, and he spoke concisely, and he liked to stare at him with eagle-like eyes.

He thought it was cool, and he didn't learn this kind of cold thinking in his heart.

But he was also a little apprehensive about West, and the magician was much kinder in comparison.

But if he really had to choose, he would still be more afraid of this sick patient and the legendary bisexuality.

In short, the Lakers made him uncomfortable with both of them, and he didn't want to touch any of them.

Now when he thinks of having dinner between the two of them tonight, he suddenly thinks of an idiom "ice and fire"!

"You handled yesterday's incident very well, the team will definitely stand behind and support you, you can contact me at any time if you have anything, you should have my phone number."

Jerry West may have felt that the atmosphere in the car would be awkward if neither of them spoke, and finally spoke first halfway through the drive.

Zhang Zhu didn't drive his own car, he rode West's Mercedes to the magician's house together.

"Well, I've seen this kind of thing a lot, many people don't think I'm mixed-race, they always think of me as Chinese."

"Don't you like China?"

"No, I like China, but I want more recognition." Zhang Qi felt that the other party had misunderstood his words.

Jerry West nodded, and suddenly asked, "You want others to be afraid of you?" ”

Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what the other party meant by suddenly asking this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

'You did well in front of the media, but you weren't mature enough in the team. You have to understand that if you want them to be afraid of you, you can't always keep a straight face like I did, and sometimes you need to smile at them. Jerry West said, the corners of his mouth rising slightly without warning, and suddenly a meaningful smile appeared at him.

As soon as Zhang Yu saw this smile, he was suddenly more afraid of West, but he also understood what it meant, this is really an old pervert!
