056 I want to negotiate

On Thursday afternoon, Jones, who had been flying around the country for more than three weeks on a plane, returned to Brooklyn and delivered the college camp invitations at Bill's home.

"This is an invitation letter from Ohio State University, and this one is a ...... from Florida State University in the south."

Sitting on the couch, Jones handed the invitation letters to Bill one by one.

Mr. Ferrari opened the first invitation letter and began to read it. The letter was simple, saying that the Ohio State football varsity coach saw Bill's performance and felt he could take it a step further on the field, so he invited him to attend a three-day summer camp at his campus in Columbus, Ohio, in late June.

"This Ohio State University varsity team can be almost the top eight in the country, their school is also very academically strong, known as the public ivy, four or five alumni are Nobel Prize winners, and the amount of alumni donations is almost the top ten in the country, combined with your previous requirements, this invitation ranks first in my heart."

While Bill was reading the letter, Jones began to give a basic introduction to the school.

The top 10 alumni donations in the country means that they are the 10th in the country, which is already very scary.

"My second recommendation is Leland Stanford Jr., which is located in San Francisco's Palo Alto, and their varsity football team is slightly lower than Ohio State, but it's also in the 10th to 15th range of the country. It's commendable that this university fits the bill perfectly, and I think, you know the specifics of the school. ”

Jones said, pointing to the second open invitation letter in Bill's hand.

"Yes, that's exactly what I wanted." Mr. Ferrari nodded, admitting that the scouting money had been well spent.

Jones is not a scout who works for a college team or an NFL professional team, he is similar to a scout in the usual sense of the word in an agency, except that his team does not have the size of dozens or hundreds of people in an agency, including his assistants and secretaries, Jones's company has only five people.

The sheer size of the service naturally leads to a single type of service, and in fact, Jones and his team are only responsible for connecting clients with the target college team, and they can't even guarantee an offer from the D-1 college team.

But that's where they have the advantage, and that's why Coach Murphy recommended the temporary team to Beal.

As early as the end of the regular season of the Toad Tun varsity team, Bill consulted Coach Murphy on how to run the summer camp, and the kind-hearted Murphy directly formulated a plan for him to enter the target school according to Bill's situation: first at the end of December and early January, he entrusted a scouting team from an agency to contact the coaches of the D-1 college team, and won the summer camp invitation with Bill's super bright season performance, and then maintained a certain level of performance in the summer camp and next year's regular season, and he could almost get an offer from the target school. It can even win more than one prestigious school.

In this process, the average player may need the operation of a large agency to get an offer, but Coach Murphy felt that Beal did not need to bring in a large agency in high school, so he recommended Jones as a team.

The advantage of this is that Beal can start signing contracts with major agencies after the regular season of his sophomore year, allowing professionals to approach professional teams to negotiate a good salary and guaranteed contracts in all respects.

Finding an agency in college gives Beal a stronger voice than bringing in an agency in high school, because if all goes well, Beal can become an NFL draft rookie or free agent from January to April after the sophomore regular season, just one step away from signing a contract with a professional player.

The high school to college team is a big hurdle, and bringing in an agency too early will lead to more hidden clauses that will give Bill 10 to 20 percent less on his contracted salary share.

For a contract that lasts several years, that is, based on the average salary of three or four hundred thousand yuan, this loss is also in the order of 100,000 US dollars.

"I see, Stanford's summer camp is from June 25th to 27th, and Ohio State University is from June 26th to 28th, and there is a conflict. Is there a good university that staggers for a day or two so that I have a guarantee. ”

Bill asked.

"That's UCLA, UCLA, the public Ivies, academically strong enough, and the varsity football team is good. Their summer camp was from the 28th to the 30th, which was exactly one night, and it was still in the same state, and the delay on the road was short. ”

“Good,good!” Bill was very satisfied with the arrangement, with Stanford as the goal, UCLA as the guarantee, and several good universities in New York State as the last guarantee when there was nowhere to go.

"You've done a very good job, and the part about the final payment is ......"

just got an invitation to the summer camp, and before the later link, the cooperation between Bill and Jones will last for a long time.

After all, there are more than 20,000 high school teams in the United States, and the full-time scouts of the college teams can only be responsible for the recruitment of players from the dozens of high school teams that have a good relationship with their colleges, and the remaining enrollment places depend on the scouts of the agency to introduce and recommend.

After confirming that the first step was complete, Jones hurriedly left to deliver the invitation to the home of the next client who received the invitation.

……

On Friday morning, January 11, Bill drove his uncle's car to Manhattan and then went to New York to start a new round of operations.

"This time, I no longer recognize the 2.6 pip fee and the low leverage, and I will negotiate with your Hilson company to ensure that the service I receive is the same as that of a normal customer."

At the beginning, Bill gave his own bottom line.

The funds available to him now are about 260,000 yuan, which is to leave more than 10,000 fractions to improve his life, and he can also invest 250,000 yuan in futures trading.

As far as he knew, after the collapse of silver, gold began to skyrocket, and he couldn't remember exactly how much, but it should have doubled. So you just need to remember the lowest price of gold in January to know at what price to sell.

However, because this trade is also a sure profit, the 2.6% fee is extraordinarily high, and Bill needs a negotiation to reduce the fee, increase leverage, and advance margin calls from the brokerage company.

Andrew spread his hands in frustration, "Mr. Bill, it's not for me to decide, I'm just a small trader." ”

"Then find someone who can decide!"

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly pass.
