Chapter Seventy-Six: Little Sister's Agent

Since there has been no response from both parties, the scandal has continued, but the heat is getting lower and lower.

Seven days later, Xiao Xiao finally appeared in front of the media. He went to the Clippers' training camp for a medical check-up, and if there were no surprises, they would sign in the afternoon.

Originally, it was a very private trip. However, the Clippers informed reporters. Because Dunleavy thinks that he will definitely be able to sign the contract today, and after the signing, he can hold a press conference with one stone.

When Xiao Shao's car drove outside the training hall, Xiao Shao saw the reporters waiting outside. He just wanted Li Chenglong to drive over for an interview, but Barbara on the side said to him: "Drive directly into the parking lot, don't let the reporter see it." ”

Li Chenglong hurriedly stepped on the accelerator, quickly turned the car and drove into the underground parking garage.

After getting off the bus, the three of them took the elevator directly up.

When they came to the training hall, Dunleavy and other management had been waiting for a long time, and they hurriedly arranged for medical staff to conduct a comprehensive physical examination for Xiao Shao. It took less than an hour to determine that there were no problems.

Then, Dunleavy invited the three of them into his office with a smile on his face, and after sitting down, he asked the assistant to bring three coffees. The service was very attentive and the attitude was very gentle.

"Mr. Shaw, we are very welcoming to our Los Angeles Clippers. We've been blown away by your talent, and you've shown how good you can handle the key ball. So... We've got a contract for you. McDonleavy showed his kindness with a smile on his face, and then he handed the contract to Shaw.

Xiao Sao took the contract and glanced at it casually, although he had good oral skills, he didn't know many words.

So, he handed the contract to Barbara.

Barbara took the contract and immediately looked at it intently, very seriously, almost word for word.

"If there are no problems, let's sign this contract, and we welcome you to join." McDonleavy still had his smile on his face, and he had a friendly conversation with Chick.

Xiao Sao was also smiling, but instead of nodding, he pointed to Barbara and said, "This is my agent, and all my contracts are handled by her." If she thinks she can, then I'll sign it. If she says no, I can only do it. ”

When Dunleavy heard this, he looked at the girl in front of him with leather clothes and leather pants and riveted shoes. He thought that this girl was Xiao Xian's girlfriend, and Li Chenglong, who was in a suit and leather shoes next to Xiao Xian, was his agent. turned out to be his agent. This... Isn't that too unprofessional?

Dunleavy frowned, but soon his brow furrowed again. Because the dashing agent is unprofessional, there is nothing to lose for him, on the contrary, he can get more benefits in the negotiation.

Originally, he was still a little worried that Xiao Po might refuse because of the contract he proposed, but now he thought to himself, such an unprofessional agent must not be able to see the flaw.

And just when Dunleavy thought that the contract could be easily signed, Barbara slammed the text and slammed it on the table.

In an instant, Dunleavy was startled.

He didn't understand what Barbara was trying to do, did the little sister want to fight?

"Xiao, Li, can you go out for a while? I would like to have a good discussion with Mr. Dunleavy about the contract. Barbara stood up and said to Xiao Sa and Li Chenglong.

"Yes." Xiao Shi nodded, and then walked out with Li Chenglong.

When they walked out and closed the office door, they immediately heard the sound of slapping the table from inside, followed by Barbara's angry scream: "What kind of bullshit contract is this?" Are you playing with our feelings? ”

Seeing this, Li Chenglong was afraid that the two would fight inside, so he quickly gently pushed open a little crack in the door and went up to observe.

And Xiao Xiao was very calm, he walked to the living room next to him, lay down on the sofa, knocked on Erlang's leg and hummed a little song. After this period of getting along, he still recognizes Barbara's professional ability.

However, Barbara's watch in the office is not professional at all, and she doesn't even look like an agent. It's more like a triad that goes out and talks to people about turf.

With a cigarette in her mouth, she sat on the office desk, and looked down at Dunleavy, an old man who had been in the league for half her life, with arrogant eyes: "Do you think I don't know the hard and fast rules of the NBA rookie contract?" According to this year's salary cap, the starting salary that the No. 7 show should receive is $2.03 million in the first year, $2.15 million in the second year, $2.33 million in the third year, and $2.97 million in the fourth year if there are no accidents. But the starting salary you are giving now is only 1.68 million. What does that mean? ”

Under Barbara's arrogant posture, Dunleavy seemed a little uncomfortable, and he had never encountered such a scene at the negotiating table, because no player would ever ask a little sister to be an agent to negotiate a contract. The key problem is that this little sister actually knows the NBA's salary contract very well.

"It's... This is only a reference salary, and each team has the right to float within this reference salary. The contract I gave was eighty percent of the reference salary, which... is reasonable. Dunleavy said with some confidence.

"Huh, eighty percent? Aren't you afraid that this contract will spread out and everyone will laugh at you? Oh, by the way, you shouldn't be afraid, anyway, your boss is also known for being stingy. Barbara shrugged her shoulders and said with extreme disdain: "According to the relevant regulations of the NBA, we have the right to increase the reference salary to 120 percent, and now, I want this price." If not, we ask to be traded. At the same time, we will also bring out your stingy side, and I am sure that your actions in the free market will be more and more difficult, and no one will want to deal with stingy people! ”

Barbara looked like a fish was dead, and Dunleavy was really a little stunned. After all, he is the glamorous general manager of the alliance, the upper class. And the girl in front of her looks like a little sister at the bottom, competing with her, and burning jade with her is too cheap. If she really talks nonsense in front of the media like a shrew, her own signboard will really be completely ruined.

After all, it's a well-established rule to give 12 percent of the standard contract to a rookie in the lotto, and if you only give a reference price, people will call you stingy. What's more, now he only gives 80% like Grande, which is really upside down.

However, in his subconscious, he thought that squash was only worth 80 percent.

He thinks that if you give more money, you will be deceived.

No way, who let Xiao Xiao not his sincere choice. He made his choice under a lot of passive factors, so he didn't want to give enough money to leave him shy.

But now Barbara wants to tear his face, and he cherishes his feathers and does not want his reputation to be damaged. He could only change his strategy and said kindly: "You also know that Mr. Xiao Sa's strength is indeed a little..., and he has not proven himself yet, and we are under a lot of pressure to choose him." So, in terms of contracts, we need to release some of the pressure. ”

β€œbull-shIt!”

As soon as Dunleavy finished speaking, Barbara slapped the desk again. made Dunleavy shudder at the moment, he had never experienced this kind of negotiation, it felt like a lawyer meeting a little **, and he didn't play his cards according to the routine at all.

"Did I put a gun to your head during the draft?" Barbara glared at Dunleavy and asked sharply.

Dunleavy shook his head.

"Since we are not forcing you to make a choice, you should respect your own choice. The pressure on you is no less than yours, and as far as I know, since you chose you, many Chinese companies have come to you to talk about sponsorship, and your season ticket sales have not increased much, and the most shameful thing is that you have quietly raised the ticket price. You're secretly making money, only to have us lose our salaries to relieve your stress? Don't you think that's shameless? Barbara glared at Dunleavy with a sharp and caustic question, her mouth like a machine gun, and suddenly caught Dunleavy off guard.

Dunleavy didn't expect Barbara to even know about the team's change in ticket prices.

The Clippers have indeed risen a lot recently due to the sluggish news market, and they have received a lot of offers from Chinese companies on courtside sponsorships. This made the owner very happy, and he had instructed Dunleavy to sign Xiao Shao.

But now, there has been a contradiction.

"Also, haven't you read the newspapers of the last week? Do you know how many times Mr. Xiao Xiao's scandal has made your team headlines? Your media exposure now surpasses that of the champion Lakers, don't you know how to be grateful? Eighty percent, you dare to do it, I'm ashamed of you! Barbara didn't forgive Dunleavy, she was now almost pointing at Dunleavy's nose.

Dunleavy didn't dare to refute it, because what Barbara said made sense.

And the most important thing is that it will not do you the slightest benefit to make a fuss about this matter, but will only hurt your credibility and reputation. On the Xiao side, there is not much loss, because he has what the team wants, and the Spurs and Thunder have been constantly requesting trades, but these have been put aside by him. What he is most worried about now is that if he breaks up with Xiao Sao and the team's income plummets, the stingy boss will definitely not hesitate to fire him.

No matter how you analyze it, this is the result of a chicken flying egg hitting both ends and failing.

So, Dunleavy finally sighed. Nodding helplessly: "Okay, I agree with your proposal, one hundred and two percent of the standard salary." But we're going to change the number of years of the contract, the first two years are guaranteed, the third year is restricted, and the fourth year is a player option. ”

"Yes." Barbara nodded in agreement, she casually pressed the cigarette butt in her hand into the ashtray next to her, easily spit out an eye circle, and said, "But I have one more condition." ”

"Huh?" Dunleavy was surprised, he had never seen such an agent, so he was worried that Barbara would continue to play out of the way and make demands that he couldn't handle.

"That's the bonus issue. If my employer, Mr. Xiao Sa, averages 16 points per game in the new season, you must give a prize of half a million dollars. This is the first one. The second reward is that if my employer, Mr. Xiao Shao, is selected for the All-Star Rookie Game, you will have to give me $500,000. The third is that if my employer, Mr. Xiao Shao, is elected Rookie of the Year, you will be rewarded with $800,000! ”

"It's... Is this almost more than salary? Dunleavy was embarrassed. He thinks this clause is too overbearing.

"Look at your stingy appearance, why don't you have a sense of the big picture when you're old?" Barbara had a disgusted expression and said quite contemptuously: "Imagine if Xiao Sao can average 16 points per game, be selected for the rookie game, and be able to win the best rookie, then how big his market appeal will be, there are 300 million basketball fans in China." You also saw the Rockets' market value soar after selecting Yao Ming, so you don't want the Clippers' market value to double? ”

Dunleavy frowned, he thought about it, and it seemed to make sense. Compared with the temptation of doubling the market value, the prize of two million is just a sprinkling.

Dunleavy hesitated for a long time, but finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I'll ask the secretary to prepare the new contract immediately, please wait a moment." ”

"Okay, no problem!" Barbara smiled slightly, and then sat back in her place very ladylikely, sitting in a very dignified posture and with a very elegant expression. It is hard to believe that the little lady of the underworld who slapped the table with a cigarette in her mouth and talked wildly would be the same person.
