Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Beauty Agent Bertha Strikes

Soon Cao Jian signed a three-year brokerage contract with Bertha. After the expiration of this contract, Bertha also has the right of first refusal to renew it.

After signing the contract, Bertha also started to work immediately.

As Cao Jian's agent, Bertha is very responsible for choosing a team suitable for Cao Jian's own development as soon as possible.

There are a total of six teams that are interested in signing now, namely the Memphis Grizzlies, Dallasga Mavericks, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics. Before the summer league, Cao Jian wanted to find someone to sign a contract, but no one wanted it, and now the situation is that Cao Jian doesn't know which team to choose to sign with. Such a change also strengthened Cao Jian's confidence.

Among these six teams, Bertha excluded three of them for Cao Jian, namely the Boston Celtics, Dallas plus Mavericks and Chicago Bulls. I don't know if Bertha is a roundworm in Cao Jian's stomach, these three teams are also one of the teams that Cao Jian doesn't want to join.

The first and most important point is that they once rejected Cao Jian.

At that time, these three teams rejected their mocking eyes and sarcastic words, and Cao Jian still remembers it vividly. He's a very vindictive person, and these three teams are very vindictive.

What Cao Jian wants to prove now is that if you don't choose me, it will be the most wrong decision you will make in your life.

The second point is that these three teams are not suitable for the current Cao Jian.

Excluding these three teams, there are still the last three left, namely the Grizzlies, Los Angeles Lakers, and Cleveland Cavaliers, which are still relatively famous in the league.

The reason given by Bertha in the first plan is that Los Angeles can get more attention in such a metropolis than in other places, and it is easiest to bring players off-field economic benefits that are difficult to get elsewhere, such as advertising contracts, endorsements, etc. Get more money in terms of income. At the same time, the disadvantage of this is that in such a team, there will be a lot of stars, the competition is very fierce, and you will come out much later than in other teams. Moreover, the Lakers are not a rebuilding team now, and this year the Los Angeles Lakers have formed an F4 group, and they are aiming to win the championship, and they will not give the newcomers many opportunities to practice, so it is very difficult for the newcomers to establish themselves here.

Bertha suggested this, Cao Jian was also very surprised, not surprised by his professionalism and forward-looking, but surprised by Bertha's professional quality, thinking: money, is not the key consideration of every player, after all, the longest career of the player is only so many years, they need to make enough income in these ten years to meet the high standard of living after retirement, the agent's income is directly linked to the player, it can be said that the purpose of the two sides is basically the same, just because of this, so that when facing the choice, A lot of people put financial interests first.

I don't understand that Cao Jian also asked his doubts, and Bertha gave an answer, "If we may need to take the initiative to pursue some economic interests at first, it will outweigh the losses." When you become the best player in the league, even if you don't do anything, financial interests will come to you. So, it doesn't matter. ”

Bertha's answer also made Cao Jian very satisfied.

You say that an agent doesn't want anything, who believes it? This is a society under a market economy, and everything is linked to interests.

Now Bertha doesn't want to do anything, the most important point is to fancy Cao Jian's potential. Saying that, Cao Jian began to truly believe in Bertha. He vaguely felt that the ability of the agent introduced to him by Pelinka was really good, even if she hadn't done anything yet. Soon Bertha proved herself, and that's certainly an afterthought.

"Los Angeles doesn't choose. So, our goal was clear, and we chose Cleveland. Although the Cleveland Cavaliers' record is very poor, but this year's draft selected a group of newcomers such as the champion LeBron James, although there are star players such as Ricky Davis on the team, but, judging from the current performance of LeBron James, the Cleveland Cavaliers will not hesitate to cultivate him, judging from the Cavaliers' current lineup, in the next few years, if the luck is not too bad, it will be a problem to enter the Eastern Conference Finals, or even enter the Finals. As for memphis, the Memphis Grizzlies Ball Market is still too small, which is very detrimental to your development and is not recommended to choose. Bertha continued.

Others may not know what will happen in the future, but as a traverser, Cao Jian is clear, and what Bertha said will come true in the next few years. In view of Bertha's forward-looking, Cao Jian felt that it was a bit too little to give her an annual salary of 2.5%.

Bertha's plan coincides with Cao Jian, in fact, Cao Jian decided to sign a knight at the beginning, and after the direction was determined, the price was immediately followed.

As for the signing, the problem came, because of the impact of the previous report, the problem came, and the knights are now only willing to give Cao Jian a two-year partial guaranteed contract. This contract is partially guaranteed for the 2003-2004 season, with the team option for the second season. The contract includes a salary worth nearly $500,000 in the first year, and more than half of the guaranteed contracts.

Although Cao Jian is not very satisfied with this contract, Cao Jian feels that it is not bad when he just entered the league and it is a non-draft contract.

But Bertha is not very satisfied, "We can get a bigger contract." I think the value you're showing now is not just the price, it's at least $1 million or more to match, and I'll leave that to me. ”

Cao Jian didn't ask Bertha how to do it, since she was full of confidence, she left it to her.

"Another thing is, Mr. Cao Jian, have you offended anyone during this period of time?" Bertha suddenly asked, Cao Jian didn't know what Bertha meant, and asked himself, "Why do you ask?" ”

"I suspect that the report from the other day was deliberately trying to mess with you?" Bertha said.

Bertha didn't talk about it, and Cao Jian forgot about it. Before, he thought it was nothing, but now that he thinks about it, it's wrong.

Why did someone suffer so much, at the critical moment when they signed the contract, they made this kind of rumor. But who is this man? Who haven't you offended during this time? If there was, it was just a few days ago that he rejected Goodwind, but it shouldn't be.

Isn't this what you want me to do?

Why don't you let him be his own agent and come to this trick?

Cao Jian emptied his brain, and in the end, he thought that it was just this person.

If it's really him, then this guy is really too bad.
