"Do you know why I love my job as a scout?" Joe Jason peeled the Yangcheng specialty prawns in his hand and said to Zhou Jian, who was sitting opposite. x updates are the fastest

Zhou Jian looked at the messy appearance of the cups and plates on the table and smiled, "If you ask me this question outside the dining table, it will really stump me!" ”

"Hah! That's the only thing that comforts me in this job right now! Qiao laughed when he heard this.

"Sounds like you're tired of being a scout?" Zhou Jian was a little surprised, "I remember that you were very passionate about basketball at that time, and you regarded discovering basketball talents as your biggest hobby, what's wrong now?" ”

Hearing this, Joe Jason stopped what he was doing, muttered a long sigh, and then put the prawn in his hand on the plate, and spread his hands towards Zhou Jian, "I was dumped again!" It's all because of this job, and I'm already planning to propose to her in a while! ”

Qiao Wan snorted helplessly, took the peeled prawn into the condiment, picked it up and bit half of it hard!

"It's the same as the previous one, it's the same as the previous one, it's the same as the previous one! I don't want to be alone in my room after I get married! He said angrily. It seems that he has indeed had a lot of girlfriends, and the number of times he has been dumped is also amazing.

"I still love my job as a scout, but I'm a little fed up with a lot of traveling, I've been to eight different cities in a week, and half of the time is spent on planes and buses, which I used to be able to live with, even for fun, but... Now I'm probably going to be lonely for the rest of my life, maybe I should get a dog in advance, oh shit, so many business trips, the dog will starve to death at home! ”

There is no need for Zhou Jian to comfort him, Qiao Zhi, he has already started to make fun of himself.

"Have you ever considered changing jobs?"

Zhou Jian has spent several years in Salt Lake City, where the Jazz are based, and knows a little about the job of scouting.

A lot of people who don't know this job will, you scouts are so good, you can make money watching the ball, and I want to be a scout too!

First of all, ordinary people don't have enough basketball experience and knowledge, and secondly, the job is not as glamorous as it seems.

Those who often appear on the sidelines of the NBA court are senior scouts who have worked in the scouting industry for more than a decade or even decades.

Their job is similar to that of a coach in some ways, but more like the eyes of the coaches, observing the actions of the opponents and giving the coaches various opinions, and the coaches also make decisions based on the data or opinions they submit in many cases.

Even they had to work very hard, not only running around with the team, but also spending hours watching footage after the game and writing a long report afterwards.

These senior scouts are generally veterans of the scouting industry, or even retired NBA players. A man like Joe, who has only played in NCAA Division III, is unlikely to become a senior scout in a short period of time unless he discovers a key core talent for the team, who is already part of the team's management.

There is usually only one senior scout in a team, and apart from that one, the other scouts are very hard working and running around all year round.

The main reason why Joe has been dumped several times in succession is that he is away from home on business all year round.

Another reason is that his income is not very high, except for these high-level scouts, the income of these scouts is tens of thousands of dollars, and the low income is only one or two hundred thousand dollars.

Some scouts don't even take a penny of salary in the early days and work for the team for free!

Naturally, $10,000 is still a high salary in Huaxia, but in Midi, it is the bottom income.

Zhou Jian knew that Qiao's family was not bad, at least he would not be pressed by money, and said, "Maybe you really need to consider changing to a more stable job." ”

"I'm just whining, I like to work more freely, forget it, those stupid women, I'm only 32 years old anyway, and it's not too late to get married in a few years!"

Probably because the Yangcheng prawns played a role, Joe suddenly became open-minded again.

"Is that Chen Zhi really as good as yours? Bench press 140kg without cheating? None of the other data has been falsified? Including age! ”

Although he had come to Yangcheng, Qiao still seemed a little uneasy.

"What if I told you he had a bench press of more than 140kg?" Zhou Jian said with a smile.

"Then you must be kidding!" Joe replied casually, "I know that Boykins, a former NBA player who is 165 cm tall, has a bench press of 140 kilograms, but if you tell me that a 175 centimeter Chinese player has a bench press of more than 140 kilograms, I will definitely not believe it." ”

Zhou Jian smiled and didn't explain much, even if he did, Joe wouldn't believe it.

In fact, Chen Zhi pushed to 140kg before because his wrist couldn't bear it, and after more than half a year, his bench press ability did not improve, in short, Chen Zhi was a power monster in Zhou Jian's eyes!

When Zhou Jian was entertaining his old friend Qiao Jason from afar, Chu Yusheng of the Yangcheng Yuqun Group Headquarters Building was also receiving a guest from the United States.

It's just that he doesn't receive scouts, but agents.

And it's an agent with a bad reputation in China, Dan Fagan!

The agent industry appears in the public eye far more often than scouts, because NBA player agents have become more and more powerful, and their influence is also very strong in the NBA, especially agents who have a lot of player resources in their hands.

"Mr. Fagan has come from afar, presumably to bring me good news." Chu Yusheng looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said lightly.

Fagan smiled, he did have good news to bring.

However, how could this vampire agent give up the opportunity to suck a mouthful of blood, but he didn't expect that the person he was going to meet was so young, probably a rich second generation who inherited his father's business.

"I know, you haven't contacted me, but the agent circle is very strong, and it's hard to escape my eyes when the wind blows." Fagan said confidently.

"Oh? I heard that when DeAndre Jordan made a farce about joining the Dallas Bulls last year, he was still a signed player under your banner, and then you were fired! ”

Chu Yusheng didn't have a good impression of Fei Gen, and his years of business experience made him know that no profit and not getting up early is very applicable to everyone. Several NBA agents he contacted rejected his offer, either reluctant to operate out of work ethic or not strong enough to operate, and Fagan took the initiative to come to the door, just in response to the saying that it is not profitable to get up early.

"The owner of the Dallas Bulls, Mark Cuban, has a good relationship with me, so is it not enough to let Jordan give up a five-year contract of more than $100 million and reach a verbal agreement with the Bulls for four years and 80 million? In fact, if it weren't for DeAndrew's lack of confidence in himself, the operation would have been successful. Unfortunately, he didn't have the determination to elevate himself to a superstar, and at the time, he did express to me his desire to get more shots and become the heart of the team's attack! ”

Fagan, who couldn't tell his age through his appearance, talked eloquently, and did not back down in the slightest because of the huge assets in the hands of the young man in front of him.

"Anyway, you're fired, it's a fact that can't be changed." Chu Yusheng still said lightly. A lot of things are like this, whether it's right or wrong, there is no end to the argument, and the truth in Fagan's mouth may be nonsense in Jordan.

This sentence Feigan can't refute, it is indeed a fact, he was fired and lost an important customer.

"Why don't we talk about your purpose today?" Chu Yusheng no longer dwelled on the Jordan incident, he only needed to let Fagan know that the Yuqun Group had a faint distrust of him, and in the subsequent negotiations, he would naturally give up some bargaining chips appropriately.

"I can let Chinese player Chen Zhi join the NBA through the draft as he wishes!" Fagan Road.

"Oh? Several people have said the same thing to me. Chu Yusheng said lightly, not showing the slightest emotion.

Fagan smiled when he heard this, "Impossible! ”

He carefully looked at the facial expression of the disabled young man in front of him and could not deduce any conclusions.

"Your price doesn't have to be different from me if he will be selected in the first round or the second round, it doesn't make much difference to me! However, if you only have a second-round pick in your hand, you may want to consider your asking price! Chu Yusheng said unhurriedly.

Fagan blinked lightly out of the corner of his eyes, this young man is a business veteran, not just a rich second generation, "Since it's not important, I just don't mention it, what I need is not only his 10% endorsement commission in the rice market, but also 5% of Huaxia's endorsement, this requirement is not excessive!" Dan Fagan said.

His request is very unruly, usually the agents of Huaxia players in the United States are only responsible for the affairs of the United States, and they can't intervene on the Chinese side, the rules here are different from those of the United States, they can't handle it. Naturally, it is impossible for them to have a commission for Huaxia's endorsement.

But Fagan is the least rule-based agent in the world, and he has been the toughest agent in the NBA before James and agent Mitch Paul. Even now, Mitch Paul is only using James' influence to stir up the storm, and there is still a lot of gap between him and Dan Fagan, a professional agent with his own law firm.

"Oh, I know your asking price, you can go back to the United States and wait for news." Chu Yusheng gave an eviction order and did not give any reply.

Fagan frowned, he didn't expect this to be the result, did he really have other ways to let Chen Zhi enter the NBA? Probably not!

For business, Fagan naturally has his own understanding, he didn't ask again, it's better to let time verify all this, in short, before the NBA draft, he still has time to wait, see who can't survive first!

When Chen Zhi received news from Zhou Jian again that he wanted to find him a Mi Fang agent and inform him of the relevant conditions, he was not in a hurry to refuse, but he might as well wait until the end of CUBA to make a decision.

10% of the Mi market endorsements, 5% of the Chinese market endorsements, these brokers are simply vampires.

It seems that it is time to study the NBA collective bargaining agreement for yourself.
