Chapter 77 Lu's Guidance

"The US agent is only responsible for the US agent affairs...the model of Team Yao?"

Dan Feigen, who was sitting in front of Li Ke, shook his head, stood up, and stretched out his right hand: "If it is the model of Yao Team, then I'm sorry, Sheldon."

"It doesn't matter……"

Danfeigan left decisively, and Li Ke looked at the guy's back and shook his head secretly.

Sure enough, the mode of Yao's team is not something that a newcomer like him can play with.

It was the third day after the NCAA final. The University of Texas returned to Austin and held a grand championship celebration.

Then, Li Ke began to meet with agents who were interested in him one by one, and Danfeigan was already the fourth one.

Li Ke once said that he will not share his agent with others, and this is not empty talk.

He wants to make it the model of Yao Zhi team, find an assistant who serves himself, as the head of the agent team, in charge of both sides, just like Zhang Benji of Yao Zhi team.

On one side is the American agent, similar to Bill Duffy. However, Li Ke knew that the main person in charge of the US agent affairs of Team Yao was Bill Sanders, the marketing director of BDA company where Bill Duffy was.

On the other side is a Chinese broker, responsible for domestic brokerage affairs.

So, when these well-known agents came to the door one by one, they learned that Li Ke wanted to handle the agency affairs between China and the United States separately, most of them like Dan Feigen, and shook his head and left.

Dan Feigan is already the fourth one, starting with Robert Pelinka, to Jeff Schwartz, and then to Jeff Austin...

Well-known agents chose to give up, but Li Ke was not impatient and opened his phone's address book and found the fifth name, Bill Duffy.

"Hello, Mr. Bill Duffy, yes, I have time, so I'll meet tomorrow night, how about?"

After making this call, Li Ke got up and decided to go and find Dong Jinji.

After leaving the restaurant door, Li Ke saw Danfeigan, who was on the phone from afar, with a loud voice.

"Not to do it, Mark, it's a waste of time for you to come. That little guy is too naive. He thought he was Yao Ming?"

"Yes, yes, he wants to build the Yao team model, but he doesn't think about how big the gap is between him and Yao Ming? Without the Chinese market, he still has a bullshit commercial value!"

"Haha, yes, I signed Yi, I don't have to bet like you, but Mark, I think you can try ABA's Chinese Suns, maybe it's no worse than this little guy in NCAA..."

Li Ke frowned, raised his legs and walked away, took out his cell phone, and deleted a name: Mark Bartelstein.

Well, don't waste time, Bill Duffy should agree with his request. After all, he has had successful experience with Yao Ming.

But before that, he had to determine the person in charge of the agent team.

...

"Here, Brother Li..."

Next to the University of Texas, Li Ke met Dong Jinji.

The guy received Li Ke with a blushing face and then took Li Ke to a private room.

In the private room, Li Ke met Cong Ming, Chen Ziyi, Lin Qi and Aqi again. These five people looked like a combination, and seemed to be mixed together forever.

"Sit down, big star, I'll treat you today."

Li Ke smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cong."

"It's okay, I open this restaurant. By the way, I read the news reports and said that you have been in the United States for some time and have not eaten authentic Chinese food for a long time, right? Today I will let you recall the flavor of your hometown."

Young Master Cong introduced it carelessly, and Li Ke thanked him again. Indeed, since he came here, he had never eaten Chinese food. He only had steak, burger, pizza sandwich all day long, and was really tired of it.

Then there was time for chatting. Soon, the first dish came, a salmon sashimi...

Li Ke's expression twitched a little.

Young Master Cong was angry and turned around and scolded: "The wrong dish was served!"

It was indeed the wrong dish. The first dish should be a plate of fried pork with chili.

While eating spicy fried pork, Li Ke talked about his purpose: "That's right. I'm going to form a team of agents that serve me. Now, I need a top economics student as the person in charge. I want to ask if there are any suitable candidates around you."

Li Ke looked at Dong Jinji, and the other four people also looked at Dong Jinji.

Dong Jinji is an international student at Deda McCoomb Business School. Li Ke's words are like saying Dong Jinji.

Dong Jinji realized this and waved his hand quickly.

Li Ke smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, Aji, if I want to hire you, I will just say it, well, my job requires dealing with the group of executives in NBA, and I must know all about the United States and China well, preferably the MBA from a prestigious school..."

Dong Jinji breathed a sigh of relief. Although Li Ke was hinting that he did not have real talent and knowledge, he didn't care much.

He is different from many second-generation international students. He doesn't want to stay in the United States and has decided long ago to return to China after graduation, so it is impossible to work for Li Ke, who will stay in the United States for more than ten years.

Dong Jinji thought for a moment in his mind and shook his head.

The circle of international students is not big. Second generations like them who have mixed academic qualifications abroad are not in the same circle as those real academic masters.

Seeing that Dong Jinji had no suitable candidate, Li Ke frowned and decided to call his parents far away from home when he went back later to ask if they had any relatives and friends...

Archie, who had little talk, suddenly hesitated and said: "Actually, Mr. Cong, you know someone."

Cong Ming had some surprises: "Me?"

"Sister Li's current boyfriend... is a mba from Wharton School of Business..."

Archie nodded, and Chen Ziyi then asked, "Who is Sister Li?"

"Mr. Cong's ex-girlfriend..."

“…”

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Li Ke laughed dryly and asked Cong Ming for help: "Mr. Cong, please do something."

"good……"

...

Li Ke soon met Mr. Cong's ex-girlfriend's current boyfriend in Austin, MBA, Lu Ning, from the Wharton School of Pennsylvania, and his English name is Michael.

"The English name is Michael. Among the ten, 5 are fans of Michael Jackson, and the remaining 5 are fans of NBA."

“Because Michael Jordan?”

Li Ke nodded, but Lu Ning, who had just met, shook her head: "No, I am a Schumacher fan."

Looking at Li Ke's surprised look, Lu Ning smiled: "Just kidding, you guessed right, I'm a Jordan fan."

Then, Lu Ning handed his resume to Li Ke.

I explained: "Actually, since I was a child, I knew that when you wanted to find an MBA to manage the agency affairs, I thought I was the most suitable one. The hardcore NBA fans in the top prestigious MBA must be a Chinese. No matter how bad it is, they must be an American. China Communications, so few of them meet the requirements..."

Li Ke looked at his resume. Unlike those second generations, Lu Ning is a real academic master. He has been a winner of academic scholarships for four years in college. He studied at Wharton and had the best grades.

Seeing this, Li Ke knew that Lu Ning in front of him might be the best choice.

"Let's talk about the treatment..."

Lu Ning laughed, "No, I think what we should talk about is not treatment, but the future..."

Soon, Li Ke understood what Lu Ning meant by "future".

Lu Ning doesn't want to be just one agent. He is a Wharton MBA, and he has a bright future no matter what.

The reason why he is willing to work for Li Ke is because he loves basketball, and on the other hand, he sees the future from Li Ke.

He believes that Li Ke will be a unique brand.

"Unlike Yaoyao, you are from American high school basketball and NCAA, and you will not be subject to system basketball."

"In addition, you are an outside player, and Yao Yao is a center. Since ancient times, outside players have attracted more fans, not to mention that you can fly and dunk..."

"So, I dare to assert that as long as you are not a parallel person, your business value will definitely be higher than that of Yao!"

"My goal is not to become an agent. What I want to do more is the CEO of the brand Li Ke. Therefore, we should not talk about the treatment, but about how to make the brand Li Ke bigger and stronger..."

"When Li Ke becomes a big brand like Airjordan, let's talk about what I should get as the founder of the brand..."

You are the founder of a ghost!

Li Ke's face was full of darkness. He always felt that the word founder was not very serious when used.

However, he admitted that Lu Ning was right. From the beginning, Li Ke wanted to hire an ordinary agent.

He didn't know how to describe it, but now he knew that the person he wanted to hire was the manager of the brand Li Ke.

"Then I won't talk about the treatment. Let's sign for two years first. After two years, if your job doesn't have any problems, I won't become a parallel product, so I will just renew a long-term contract..."

"Okay, then you'll be happy to cooperate."

“Happy cooperation.”

After confirming that Lu Ning was the head of Li Zhi team, Li Ke also breathed a sigh of relief. Everything was difficult at the beginning, and now the head was ready.

He glanced at Lu Ning and suddenly remembered an interesting meme.

"Lunning, I think you should change your English name."

"?"

"How about calling Tyron?"

"Tyron Lou? The Lakers defender who was crossed by Iverson's century?"

"You actually know him."
