The next day, "Magic" Johnson prepared a contract with his agent.

He also hired a lawyer specifically for Woody.

When Woody found out about this, he was stunned!

Ask the other party to ask a lawyer to see if there is any problem with the contract you drafted, it has to be you, "sorcerer"!

But think of this guy throwing "chickens" at his teammates' rooms and recording a kneeling video begging Michael Jordan to make a comeback...... Compared with these riots, this is somewhat normal now.

Johnson mainly wanted to embody a "gentleman who is frank".

Woody himself took a closer look at the contract, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw that Johnson only had a 1% cut on the player's contract and a 5% commercial cut.

Because he needs a broker sooner or later, he usually pays attention to the broker circle.

In general, NBA agents earn money from two main sources, one is the player's team contract, and the other is the commercial contract.

Most team contracts are 4%, while commercial contracts have higher commissions, 10% and 15% are not uncommon, and some big-name agents will even ask for a 20% rake.

Johnson looks like just an "agent rookie", but with his means, serving a rookie like Woody is said to be a little higher.

Johnson said, "Man, trust me, if you really give me a chance to compete with me, you're going to see some contracts that are even harsher than I do with myself!" There are even some brokers who are willing to give you money first! ”

It's that hot!

Woody scratched the tip of his nose, he was embarrassed to ask, where to find this kind of "wronged boss" who sent money to himself first?

He was genuinely moved.

After all, Wu's father and Wu's mother still owe a sum of money that hasn't been repaid!

Of course, he hopes that the sooner the better!

However, this kind of desperate agent is ruthless to himself and his clients, and after Woody understands this truth, he naturally gives up the idea of "seeking skin with the tiger".

It's better for him to choose some agents who are less paranoid.

Moreover, in the face of the "magic" Johnson's percentage of commission, there are really few agents who can have more means than Johnson.

After reading the entire contract, Woody didn't find any problems, and glanced at Johnson's lawyer next to him......

No, he still thinks it's a little weird!

Overcoming this sense of weirdness, he asked the lawyer if there was a problem.

The lawyer's eye is generally quick, including the one in front of him, he can see the strangeness in Woody's eyes, and he uses his professional ethics to ensure that there is no problem with this contract.

"Okay, I'm okay here!"

Woody picked up the pen and wrote his name on the contract.

Johnson's name has already been written, and when Woody's name is completed, the contract will be effective immediately.

"Happy working together!"

"Happy working together!"

……

Johnson jumped into the role quickly, and after the official signing, he was busy.

Just waiting for Woody and Pantuo to come out, Johnson couldn't help but be stunned: "So many invitations?" ”

Interview invitations from local print media, TV stations, and major basketball newspapers and magazines......

Invitations to cover shoots for various basketball magazines......

There are also invitations to various invitational tournaments and invitation calls......

These were all received by Woody in the two or three days after St. Mary's High School topped the Ohio Division I state championship.

It's just that Woody wants to determine his future plans first, and then deal with these things, so he has been putting them on hold. - Mainly, Woody also knows very well that these interviews and shooting, and the questions at that time are always his own choices in the summer, and he does not have a clear idea, so it is difficult to give a definite answer.

Johnson wiped a handful of glowing "braised eggs" and sweat was all over his forehead. Then he began to categorize these media interviews, and said while classifying: "Man, you are now a very popular guy, and your decision will be very valuable, so we must use this as a bargaining chip and exchange it to some more exposed media, such as ESPN, or TNT, as for NBC, which has no cooperation with the NBA at the moment, we will put it on hold for the time being, and when the draft is over, it will not be too late to consider them......."

"And then the cover invitation of the magazine shooting, it is also this rule, "Sports Illustrated", the sports weekly with the largest circulation in the United States, we must accept it! You are the first Chinese high school student to appear in this magazine, full of gimmicks, we can discuss with the people of "Sports Illustrated", the issue of the weekly magazine with you as the cover will be released before the draft, which can add enough heat for you, of course, they will definitely ask us for some conditions, such as the first interview after the draft, these can be given to them, their circulation is enough for us to give such a bargaining chip......"

"And then there's the invitational, the McDonald's All-Star Weekend, which we're definitely going to be in, and it's a very big exposure, and it's a status symbol that the best American high school students of the year are eligible to attend! It just so happens that it won't be held until late April, and there's still a month to go, and in this month, you can improve a bit, and then let these media see your different aspects, and believe me, when the draw is over in May, you'll definitely be the guy who wants to invite all the high-pick teams to try! ”

……

Woody listened to Johnson's analysis, sweating profusely.

At this time, he really realized how important it is for a player to have an agent, otherwise these things alone would be enough for him to work hard for a while before he could comprehend.

And now......

In 10 minutes, Johnson made it clear to him.

After sorting out the announcements that Woody needed to respond to at the moment, Johnson began to schedule his time.

This is also a technical job, because during this time, Johnson also formulated a promotion plan for Woody, how to ensure that these announcements do not affect Woody's normal training, about half an hour of groping, Johnson gave the answer:

"Boy, you've been living in Los Angeles lately!"

As the second largest city in the United States, the place with the most media exposure, it is obviously not so difficult to concentrate all the announcements here!

Woody thought for a moment and made a request: "Can I let my second uncle live here during this time?" ”

Johnson didn't hesitate for a second: "No problem at all!" ”

He was not surprised that Woody made such a request.

Just kidding, in the NBA, what player doesn't drag his family?

Even a "good buddy" like Allen Iverson who talks about righteousness even raises the gang brothers together!

Woody's request, in his opinion......

It's very NBA!

Woody's idea is also simple:

As far as Johnson's urine is concerned, during his time in Los Angeles, the food and clothing will definitely not be bad. The second uncle has worked hard all his life, what's wrong with enjoying it in advance!

That is, there is no such condition for the time being, otherwise, Woody will let Wu's father and mother enjoy it in China first......
