Chapter 192: Talking about a long contract

The three of them decided to have dinner together to celebrate, and Lu Yu pointed to the people who were still fighting outside the door: "What about those people?" ”

"Leave them alone, let's go. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lei Shui said, opening the door.

Seeing Lei Shui come out, a group of people gathered around again, talking nonsense about their advantages, Lei Shui stopped and smiled and said to them: "This is my agent, if there is anything, you can talk to him." ”

A group of people suddenly quieted down, and a person behind him poked the fat man: "Didn't you say that you weren't a competitor?" ”

As soon as the fat man shook off the man's hand, he stepped forward and walked in front of Lu Shi without looking back, his eyes turned around, he breathed a long sigh of relief, took out his business card and handed it to Lu Shi: "If he wants to change agents, please contact me." After saying that, he turned around and left, and by the way, he also used gestures to mock the people behind him.

He was followed by another person, who also handed over his business card: "If you can't do it, I can take over." ”

"Do you have a brokerage company? Or an independent broker? If you are an independent broker, welcome to join our company, we are..."

When they were all gone, Lu Shi looked at the small stack of business cards in his hand and said with a smile: "It seems that they value your business value very much, hehe." ”

Lei Shui smiled: "Lu Jiao, you know best what I have suffered, I have suffered all my life in the past few months, and it will be a good life in the future." ”

Lu Shi casually threw the business card into the trash: "This is not the end of the hard days, it is the beginning..." ”

Lei Shui shrugged: "I know an authentic Chinese restaurant, it tastes very authentic, I'll treat you, let's go!" ”

The three of them came to the restaurant together, and as soon as they ordered the food, Lei Shui's phone rang, Lei Shui pointed to the phone and said, "It's the team's manager Buford, I'll take it." ”

Lei Shui picked up the phone: "Hello, Mr. Buford." ”

"Ray, haven't you returned to your new home? I've been waiting for you outside the door for a long time and haven't seen you come back. Buford said.

Lei Shui said: "I'm eating out, what's the matter?" ”

"Oh, I want to talk to you about the contract, I think it's time to give you a long-term contract." Buford said.

Lei Shui covered the microphone and whispered to Lu Shi: "You want to negotiate a contract with me." ”

Lu Shi immediately whispered: "Ask him to come over for dinner together, and we will talk while eating." ”

Lei Shui asked Buford to come to dinner together, and while waiting, Lu Shi asked Lei Shui: "Do you know why they changed your house?" ”

Lei Shui said: "Buford said that my house was too far away and vulnerable to outside influences, so the team provided me with a new house for free, and I heard that it was the owner's property. ”

Lu Shi smiled: "The influence of the outside world? Hehehe, they are afraid that someone will take the opportunity to pry you away, after all, your current performance must have attracted the attention of many teams, when we went to look for you, the landlady said, looking for you in an endless stream, all of them annoyed her, they hid you in their house, so that no one can find you, look at those agents, they are all blocked in the training hall, of course people from other teams will not go there to block people, but they are very well-informed, your address, should be found by them soon. ”

Lu Yu said: "It turns out that they are not selfless, they hide people for their own convenience." ”

Lu Shi said: "I think he is so eager to talk to you, he must have known about the door just now, so in order to avoid a long night's dream, he immediately took action." ”

Lei Shui nodded: "So, we have the advantage now." ”

Lu Shi nodded: "Let's see later, it seems that I have to negotiate the most important contract in your life for you." ”

After a while, Buford came with a bottle of red wine in his hand, and after taking a seat, Lei Shui made a brief introduction, and Buford said: "Lei, I didn't expect you to have your own agent so soon." ”

Lei Shui smiled: "Ah, after all, I am not familiar with the professional game, nor am I familiar with the general environment in the United States, Lu Jiao is my predecessor and my mentor, I trust him as much as I trust my parents." ”

Buford looked at Lu Shi carefully: "I think you're a little familiar... Land... You've played in the United States! ”

Lu Shi nodded: "Yes, it was very early, in the XXX team of the NBDL, and then finally signed with the XX team, but the injury made me lose the opportunity, so I went back to the XXX team as an assistant coach for a few years." ”

"I'm still a little impressed, after all, for a long time, there weren't many Asian faces," Buford said. ”

After chatting for a while, the dishes were ready, Buford asked the waiter to open the red wine, poured it and said, "This is my first time to eat Chinese food with red wine, come and try it, this is given to me by Greg, it shouldn't be wrong." ”

Buford raised his glass: "Cheers." ”

After drinking the first sip of wine, Buford got to the point: "I heard that Chinese like to talk about things at the table, so let's talk about business." ”

Lu Shi knew that he would say sooner or later, and put down his wine glass: "Okay, Mr. Buford, let's talk about business." ”

As soon as they said this, Lei Shui and Lu Yu immediately focused their attention on these two men.

Buford said: "Given Ray's performance, I want to offer him a two-year, $1.5 million contract, with a team option for the second year, taking into account the team's salary situation. ”

Lu Shi said: "I think this is the lowest contract in the Spurs. ”

Buford was silent for a moment: "I don't deny that Ray played what we needed, but the team is not short of strikers and defenders at the moment, even so, with Popovich's coaching style, Ray will definitely explode if he can stay in the team, which is a good choice for the team and him personally, he is still young and has the opportunity to realize value." ”

Lu Shi said: "What value is realized? The second-year team option may become a trade chip for the team. ”

Buford laughed: "Mr. Lu is right, several young people in the team are fair competition, if Lei is really capable, the team will definitely hand over a big contract in two years, even if it is traded, who do you think we have pitted?" ”

Lu Shi believes that Lei Shui will definitely be able to make a name for himself, at this time, it is how to operate to maximize benefits, and believe that the team will provide a qualification offer in the second year? Don't dream, they will definitely choose to go on a second year of contract and continue to use it for another year at a low price: "How about a player option for the second year, after all, the contract value is not high, and if he doesn't perform well, he won't stay in the team." ”

Buford shook his head: "It's not worth a new player to ask for a player option after only playing two good games in pre-season. ”

Lu Shi said: "Then it's better to change the contract to 1 million for 1 year!" ”

Buford still shook his head: "If that's the case, then we will sign another 10-day contract, and after the 10-day contract, if Bobo thinks he is really worth the money, then the team can offer a one-year, 870,000 contract." "Actually, Buford really doesn't want to have another 10-day contract, and he has a lot of dreams at night.

Lu Shi knew that Buford was testing his bottom line: "Mr. Buford, it's better for us not to go around, to be honest, Lei's contract is 870,000 for 1 year, sign it immediately, think about it, how much benefit Lei will bring to the team, I will give you a thorough explanation, the income that Lei Shui brings to the team will at least offset the salary you pay him." ”

After hearing this, Buford leaned back in his chair, put his hands on his chest and began to think, he knew that the Chinese market behind Lei Shui would definitely bring benefits to the team, but it would definitely be the best to minimize the cost, Buford raised his head: "Mr. Lu might as well explain it clearly." ”

Lu Shi nodded: "Lei had an endorsement in China before, but due to Lei Shui's development problems and contract terms, he has not been able to negotiate, you give Lei a 1-year long contract, I dare to guarantee that the endorsement will be signed smoothly immediately, and then it will definitely be advertised at home, and he can receive tens of thousands of US dollars for a game, then it depends on you." ”
