Chapter 232: Broker

Cressy sat in the café, the eighth agent he was going to interview today.

After coming to this world, in addition to playing basketball and exercising, Cressy is crazy learning, and with a systematic library, his learning efficiency definitely exceeds that of 90% of the geniuses in this world.

He knows a lot about basketball.

He knows that an agent is very important to a player and will play a very important role throughout a player's career.

They help players negotiate, make money, assist players in making decisions, help players increase their popularity, and sometimes help players carry the blame.

Cressy didn't want to look for those big-name economists, because he knew that his career plan was destined to be different from the normal basketball long-distance mobilization, and he already had some ideas in mind.

Therefore, he wanted to find an agent who could be controlled by himself.

However, there is really a mix of people in the broker circle.

Of the seven people he had seen just now, at least three were liars, and four were not very reliable.

Fortunately, Cressy is not really the kind of black boy who has never seen the world, he has experienced the collapse of officialdom, and it is the kind of life-and-death struggle.

The next broker is the one affiliated with AA, of course, only the lowest kind.

However, since it has AA endorsement, it should be more reliable.

AA used to serve Hollywood stars, but since entering the sports world, many NBA star players have gradually been recruited by it.

AA's roster of NBA big-name players includes Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Chris Paul, and Carmelo Anthony. In addition, the brokerage company signed by LeBron James is also owned by AA Company.

The reason why AA can penetrate and control the NBA's elite player resources so quickly is inseparable from their strong connections and rich resources.

Today's star players, the income from playing basketball no longer accounts for the majority of their income, and other advertisements, endorsements, and even music and movies are the main sources of income.

In Cressie's mind, AA has a monopoly on the NBA's important elite resources, joining AA by himself is the best choice, because these connections can be interconnected in the context of AA.

He eliminated the big-name agents of AA and finally set his sights on a middle-aged French-born half-breed named Tony Parker.

This person has not been mixed up on a platform like AA for so long, and his ability is obviously relatively mediocre, and after years of stumbling, he should have polished the edges and corners of his body.

Such a person would be easier to control, which is exactly what Cressy wants.

After a while, a middle-aged Mediterranean man walked into the café, and when he saw Cressie, his eyes lit up, and he walked over in three steps and two steps.

"Hello Cressie, I'm Tony Parker. ”

"You may be seated. ”

"Thank you!"

Tony Parker, who sat down, seemed a little nervous, and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his sweat.

Then he took out a rectangular note, placed it on the table, and pushed it carefully in front of Cressie.

This is...... A check for a million dollars?!

Cressy glanced at it, feeling a little strange in her heart.

It's not that it's strange that the other side stuffs money into themselves, it's the norm between agents and players.

I have met a few brokers before, and some even deliberately brought a box of cash over.

Special mother, do you really think you haven't seen money?

Uh, I haven't seen it before!

Before coming to this world, he had only seen silver, gold, and copper plates, and paper money was really the first time he had seen it.

However, when it comes to wealth, Du Wenxing in the main world is not bad, and he is considered to be a small net worth.

Now, Cressy wonders, isn't this guy a street fighter, how can he come up with so much money?

"Where did you get the money?" he asked dryly.

"I mortgaged my house, the only house. Tony Parker smiled.

Cressy looked at this middle-aged man, but he admired it a little in his heart, and he was desperate?

Regardless of the other party's ability, at least this sincerity is demonstrated.

"Can your family agree to you doing this? If I don't sign a contract with you, I'll lose a lot of interest in vain. Cressy looked at the middle-aged man with the same name as the Spurs' star guard.

Tony Parker's smile turned into a wry smile, "I got divorced two years ago, and the kids follow their mom." ”

"I'm sorry. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

"Okay, let's get down to business. ”

Tony Parker straightened his back and looked at Cressy cautiously.

"My conditions are actually very simple, I sign the contract every three years, everything during the contract is based on my opinion, and I have the right to terminate the contract unilaterally. Cressy said, "If you agree, we'll sign it." ”

Tony Parker was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and nodded, "I agreed." ”

Cressy laughed and pushed the check back in front of him, "Go and redeem the house, I don't want you to live with me." ”

"It's-" Tony Parker looked at Cressie, wondering if he really didn't want the million, or if he was pretending.

You know, the black boy in front of him was born in a black slum, can he really refuse the temptation of a million dollars?

"Don't worry, I'm serious, take it back. Cressy laughed, "I want your loyalty more than this million dollars." ”

"You'll get it. Tony Parker nodded heavily.

The next moment after signing the broker contract, Tony Parker immediately got into the groove and began to discuss the work plan with Cressie, he asked, "What are your plans next? vacation or training?"

"No vacation, no time. I'm going to stay in the U's gym and continue to train, I'm not physically strong enough, for the NBA. ”

Cressie's answer surprised Tony Parker, and he began to believe that the black teenager must have a good future, perhaps his height......

Tony Parker thinks of Michael Jordan and thinks of Kobe Bryant......

"What do you think?" Cressy asked his new agent.

Tony Parker thought about it for a moment and said, "The company has organized a joint tryout, right in Los Angeles, and I suggest you participate. ”

"There's also the NBA league's joint training camp in Orlando, where we have to show our faces and just do a physical test, mainly negotiating with the major sneaker manufacturers. ”

Tony Parker is still relatively transparent about the twists and turns, although he was a loser before, he also understands these ways of playing in the basketball circle, otherwise it would be impossible to mix up and not change careers until now.

Since you can mix and eat in this industry, it means that you still have a certain basic ability.

"I'll pick some tryout teams for you and then visit some of the shoe manufacturers' design factories. Tony Parker said: "Finally back in Los Angeles to wait for the draft. ”

Cressy thought for a moment and said, "Just pick the teams that are at the top of the draft, and big city teams like New York, Los Angeles, and Golden State. ”

"I understand. ”
