Chapter 59: The Agent

I've been working overtime for the past two days and delayed the update.,I'm sorry.,There's another chapter later.,It's to make up for yesterday.。

.......

Facts have proved that Da Yao's prediction was correct, after the first Chinese preseason game, the merchants who fully realized the popularity of the game and Chen An's popularity began to play Chen An's idea, but due to the channel relationship, they didn't find Chen An directly, but someone tactfully contacted him through Zhu Fangyu's agent.

For lunch, Chen An didn't know the taste of food, his mind was not on eating, it was all about judging his commercial value through the conversation during the dinner.

The merchant who came through Zhu Fangyu is a sports equipment franchise brand, after a simple contact, there are not so many twists and turns on the other side, and directly quoted a brand endorsement fee of 1.2 million for three years, and finally Chen An did not agree, only on the pretext that he did not have a special agent, and he needed to think carefully before replying.

But after returning to the hotel, Chen An dialed Da Yao's phone as soon as possible, hoping that the other party could introduce a professional agent.

Chen An has not considered not having an agent, but this is not realistic, his focus is on the NBA, and his mind is also on the team, so he has no extra time to contact commercial endorsements, advertisements or something.

Not to mention the country, the United States can't take care of it, and he feels that his business value is mainly in the country, so it is necessary to hire a full-time broker in charge of domestic business operations and even the economic team.

As for why Chen An thinks so much about Da Yao's relationship, because Da Yao is really very successful, many people don't have a very intuitive understanding of Da Yao, they only know that Da Yao is a successful player, but Chen An has seen a lot of business reports about Da Yao in his last life and knows how successful Da Yao is.

He remembers very well that in 14 years, a fairly authoritative economic magazine in China reported on Da Yao's small business empire, the Chinese little giant after retiring from the NBA, quickly launched its own business layout, its industries span sports, finance, health, catering, wineries and other investments, the asset ratio is quite healthy, and the investment industries are also on the rise, according to the magazine's conservative estimates, 14 years of Da Yao has a net worth of about 500 million US dollars, billions of yuan smaller!

The total salary of Da Yao's career and the income from relying on endorsements, advertising, business activities, etc. are definitely far less than the assets behind him, and he can achieve such success for personal reasons on the one hand, and on the other hand, because he has a fairly good economic team behind him.

With the help of a mature channel, it may be a bit risky to quickly build his own economic team, but it is still necessary for Chen An, he was an ordinary person in his last life, and he didn't know much about things, and he needed someone to help him.

Da Yao readily agreed to help Chen An find a domestic agent, and Chen An also had a bottom in his heart, but he didn't expect Da Yao's actions to be so fast.

......

The afternoon passed in a flash, and at half past seven in the evening, the game between the Magic team and the Guangdong team officially began.

Although the Guangdong team is much stronger than the Shanghai team, there is still no suspense in this game, Chen An is still the same old, the first opening time is rotated, but because the Guangdong team is Zhu Fangyu's parent team, Zhu Ba is facing Jiangdong's father, so Chen An gave Zhu Fangyu more playing time.

By the end of the half, the score of the two sides was 76:45, and the 21-point difference was not as exaggerated as the previous game, and in the second half, after Chen An removed the twin stars of Harden and Lillard, Yi Jianlian also tried to lead Guangdong to play some counterattacks, but others are not vegetarians, especially Zhu Fangyu, who won more playing time, is very active, constantly running and pulling space in the offense, and constantly defending Yi Jianlian in defense, with Turner and Green, he has destroyed Yi Jianlian's singles many times, and his performance is quite eye-catching.

In the end, the score between the two sides was fixed at 131:106, the score difference was much better than the one against Shanghai, and the intensity of the game was higher, the audience was satisfied, the home and away teams were also satisfied, and Harden also exchanged jerseys with Yi Jianlian after the game.

With the end of this game, the Magic's trip to China is considered a successful conclusion, the team will take a short break, will fly directly back to Orlando by night, and then, the team has a six-day break without games, can further tactical training and adjustment, and then the final two preseason games, and then the regular season will begin.

To be honest, this trip to China, aside from the business perspective for the team, Chen An believes that it has no effect on the team itself, the intensity of the game is too low, the opponent is not at the same level, the effect of training is almost equal to 0, and it is impossible to find out the corresponding problems from the game to solve them, which is why Chen An did not want to agree to the China trip at the beginning.

But now that the China tour is over, it's not interesting to say this, but as a coach, Chen An can't relax because of a few big wins in preseason.

After returning to the hotel, Chen held an impromptu meeting with the coaching staff and made arrangements for the rest of the coaching staff, especially video analyst Mitsui, who focused on watching the footage of the four preseason games repeatedly and then identifying the problem.

The short meeting of the coaching staff did not last long, it ended in half an hour, and then Chen An was ready to take a break, the plane was at one o'clock in the morning, and there was still some time.

Not long after the other members of the coaching staff left, there was a knock on his door, and after opening the door, Chen An saw two men in suits, standing straight outside the door. The two men were tall and short, the shorter one looked to be in his forties, and the other was younger, but also in his thirties.

"Who are you?"

Looking at Chen An's doubts, the middle-aged man Xie Ding stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Coach Chen, Mr. Yao asked us to come over." ”

Through some introductions, Chen An learned the identity of the person who came, Xie Ding's middle-aged man was called Li Zeyuan, and the other person was called Chen Zhong. Li Zeyuan is a member of Yao Ming's brokerage team, although the affairs he is responsible for at the moment are not very inconspicuous, but this person is very promising, and he is Zhang Mingji's person.

Speaking of Zhang Mingji, Chen An naturally knows very well that this person is the founder of Yao's team, which can be said to have single-handedly built Da Yao into a small giant in China, developed Da Yao's business potential to the extreme, and is also the biggest contributor to Da Yao's current success.

Zhang Mingji is not in China at the moment, after Yao Ming communicated with him about Chen An's affairs, Zhang Mingji sent Li Zeyuan over, but Zhang Mingji is very disciplined, Li Zeyuan came over just to pull the strings, and he is also making it clear that Yao's team will not interfere with Chen An's brokerage team, they are just because of Da Yao's request to introduce a domestic agent to Chen An.

The person they wanted to introduce was the tall, thin, and early thirties Chen Zhong.

Li Zeyuan also inherited Zhang Mingji's way of doing things, and he was very measured, and after he made his words clear and introduced Chen Zhong to Chen An, he got up and left, leaving Chen An and Chen Zhong in the room, and the two families started a separate conversation.
