Sunday, 19 November 2000, Philadelphia. Inside a café.

It's Sunday, the Philadelphia 76ers are out of the game, and their next opponent is tomorrow night. At the end of the road trip, Larry gave them a day off to recuperate on their own. Aaron, on the other hand, takes Luke to the café to meet someone.

David Falck sat there alone, tasting the black coffee here, and it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

"Hello, David," Aaron said first.

"Hello, Aaron hasn't seen you in a long time. How are you doing? The old white man gave Allen a hug, "This is Mr. Luke Wharton." My name is David Falck and I'm a professional agent. ”

"Hello, David." Luke held out his hand.

"Okay, you guys have something to drink, I'm in for a treat." David said.

"I want a glass of orange juice. Luke, what do you want? Aaron asked.

"I'll have a glass of ice water." Luke said.

"Don't be so polite." David said, "Mr. Wharton, do you know what we're here for? ”

Luke shook his head. Aaron motioned for David to continue.

"I was invited by Aaron and Bill to help you out with some troubles." David said.

"What's the trouble?" Luke was a little curious.

"They all say you're crying poor. That's the trouble I'm going to help you solve. I'm a professional broker, and my profession is to solve problems for others, and that's what I do. David said confidently.

"Oh?" Luke said, "And you're going to make a lot of money for me?" ”

"That's up to you." David said, "If you perform well, you will earn more, and if you don't perform well, you will earn less." ”

"So how do you divide it?" Luke, of course, knows that there are rules here.

"Of course I don't do it for nothing, I take some commission. But it won't affect your regular income. David said. I have two different contracts here. You can think about it for yourself. ”

"What kind of contract?" Luke asked.

"The first is that I only charge three percent commission, but the second one is that I charge seven percent." David said.

"What's the difference between these two types of contracts?" That's when Luke cared.

"Of course there is a difference. The first type of contract is a three-percent commission, and I'll provide you with contracts to the team, and other contracts, but I don't care about anything else. If it's the second one, I charge a 7% commission, and in addition to helping you sign the contract, I will also take care of the off-site affairs for you. Help you settle those bad things, such as those actresses who go up to a certain magazine, and so on. David said.

"Oh?" Luke knows that such a contract is very good, most players are ruined by off-field things, and they can't play in the end, but Luke still has a question. "It's okay to say that, but aren't you too bad?"

"You don't have to worry about that." This is what Aaron answered, "He has other income besides this commission." For example, the benefit fee of those suppliers who provide you with the contract, the signing fee when signing, and so on. And if you play a good job, but his free live advertising, he will benefit more. ”

"You're the son of my good friend Bill, and you were recommended by Aaron and Bill together. I certainly won't charge you too much. Of course, only if you perform well will we make money. David added that the accent was placed on the "we".

"You should think about these two contracts." Aaron said.

Luke pondered that the loss of the previous contract (the commission on the contract was deducted from the money he received after signing) was small. But not for yourself. I didn't have this experience in my previous life, so I was blind to do this. The second contract is a bit of a loss in terms of salary, but I just need to play well, and I will leave the rest to David Falke, so I don't have to be distracted, which is very convenient. So Luke made a decision in his heart.

"Well, I'll admit that your second contract appealed to me, and I decided it was him." Luke said.

"Really, you've decided, don't change it?" David said.

"Really, I've decided, I won't change it." Luke replied earnestly.

"Okay, let's go to the notary office and sign the contract right away." David said. "Waiter, check out!"

This is a matter of decision between both parties, and all that remains is the process. After the simple formalities were completed, Luke signed a contract with David.

"Okay, now I'm your agent. I'm going to prepare other contracts for you right now. David said.

"Wait." Luke stopped David, "I have one more question for you." ”

"What's the problem?" David stopped.

"Didn't you just say you could solve the problem of the woman off the court......" Luke whispered more and more.

"What woman has provoked you? Playboy Girl or Sports Illustrated Girl? David asked.

"Neither," Aaron answered, "it's a girl named Alyssa Dushku, isn't it, Luke." Aaron bumped into Luke beside him and said with a hippie smile.

"......" Luke was speechless.

"Alyssa Dushku, who played Arnold's daughter in True Lies, this year's school youth comedy "Cheerleaders", and worked with the popular Kirsten Dunst?" David asked.

"It's her." Luke said.

"How did you get together with her?" David said.

"Here's the thing...... Luke told them about what happened in Los Angeles.

"Hmm......" David thought.

"I think your story is definitely a hit in the ratings when you make a TV series." Aaron said.

"I'm thinking about making this into a TV series...... Just kidding. David looked at Luke's expression and hurriedly said.

"To tell you the truth," David continued, "I think Alyssa Dushku is very good, now single, and there are no scandals, clean and self-conscious, a very good girl, with a bright future, or a childhood sweetheart, and she is posted on the door, why don't you accept her?" ”

"I ......" Luke didn't know what to say, after all, he didn't know much about the girl, let alone himself (who knew what Luke Wharton had done to someone). It was a very difficult thing for him.

"You should get to know someone first, not reject her. People are girls, you have to take the initiative. Try to talk to someone to get to know the situation, and then see how you and her are doing. It's really not good, it's okay to dump people, there's nothing you can't let go, you're all adults. This is a common occurrence in the United States. David said. Come on, I'm optimistic about you. Aaron also had an expectant look on his face.

"Okay, I'll try." Luke said.

Luke is finally about to take an important step in his life, but, without but, he bravely set off.
