Chapter 54 [Rich Second Generation Friends Circle]
Hapi Watles and Guo Xu left the stadium together, and did not speak a word during the period, which was a little depressed. When he was supposed to show his abilities, he became a spectator, making him not like an agent and more like a follower.
He was a little happy because Guo Xu chose a shortcut to become famous. If everything went well, he would have a high popularity in his rookie season and his chances of receiving advertising endorsements increased greatly.
Hapi's player contract commission is only 2%. Even if Guo Xu enters the top few in the first round, he won't get much. It's different if he takes one million to the endorsement of advertising. If he spends one million in the past, he can get 12% of it and quickly get rid of poverty and become a rich man.
It is not difficult for the last rookie to become famous because the starting point is too low. Guo Xu averaged 10+5 per game and was selected into the Best Rookie lineup. It is enough for the media to brag about the last rookie for a year. It is not how powerful the last rookie is, but the media can happily criticize the management of each team.
As the first Chinese and Asian player to play in the NBA, Guo Xu will definitely get more attention when he fell into the past. The media may also go to discrimination, fearing that the world will not be in chaos.
After returning to the hotel, Happi thought of a hidden danger: "Do we trust the Lakers too much? What if they choose you in the last place and don't give you enough playing time? In the stadium, you should let me chat with them for a while and get the promise of guaranteeing playing time."
"Hapi, can you get up and think about it in the direction of Hapi?" Guo Xu lay on the sofa in the sleeping Buddha posture, playing the remote control. "If I play well, I will naturally get the playing time. On the contrary, if I don't play well, Jackson will force me to play, which will cause disgust among celebrity teammates, so don't mention this."
"Check out soon, what are you going to do next? Are you going to go back to Michigan?" Hapi asked.
"No, I want to stay in Los Angeles and wait for the draft results to play in the summer league. Then find a house here and someone treats you." Guo Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at Hapi meaningfully.
Hapi's face turned completely down. He couldn't be me, right? I really shouldn't tell him that the agents in the circle are not easy to mess with and often treat them.
Some players who are not good at playing tricks on their agents, and in the end they don’t sign a contract, Hapi met someone like this who served the other party for three days in vain, and got nothing.
"Hahaha, I just want to see your expression and bring up bad memories?" Guo Xu laughed and turned over, "Don't worry, I know you are poor and won't squeeze you. I have a guy in Los Angeles, and I will live with him."
"Then I'll be on standby at any time when I go home? When you officially join the Lakers, I'll come to Los Angeles to find a house." Happi asked with a smile.
"Okay."
Guo Xu called Austin and said that he had a high chance of joining the Lakers and signed up for the hotel name.
Austin shouted, "It's great, this must be celebrated, I'll pick you up right away."
He could hear the sound clearly through the phone, but he didn't turn on the speakerphone. He felt that birds of a feather flocked to each other, and Guo Xu's friend was also a sunny young man.
Twenty minutes later, a Hummer arrived at the hotel door, and Austin waved to Guo Xu: "Get in the car, do you have any luggage?"
"Just one small bag." Guo Xu pointed to his backpack and turned his head to ask, "Hapi, are you really not going to play together?"
Hapi waved his hand and smiled, "You guys go and have fun, I'm going home, please contact me at any time."
Has not helped with the contract, and Hapi was embarrassed to go out with Guo Xu. The two had to establish a good relationship, but not cross the line, so that they could cooperate for a long time.
The United States is a society of power and money, with a huge gap between the rich and the poor. Most poor people live in slums, while wealthy families live a life of being intoxicated by purple gold.
Austin is a rich second-generation who has no pressure in life. He likes to do anything. He fails to get into the entertainment industry and has no worries about food and clothing. His previous role in movie roles is not unrelated to the support of his parents in an IT company executive.
Austin drove to buy clothes first and wanted to help Guo Xu change his outfit. "There is a party tonight, and many rich second-generations will attend. You dress up handsomely, and it doesn't hurt to know more people with backgrounds."
When the two female clerks heard their conversation, they both seemed to want to come forward to meet him. With the image of Guo Xu and Austin, many women will fall in love with each other at first sight. Who doesn’t want their boyfriend to be handsome and rich?
Guo Xu picked up his clothes and asked with a smile: "Is it right to form a network of relationships? "
"Yes, you're much smarter than before." Austin smiled and said, "You're trying to come to Duan Tango to enchant a group of people. I heard you're very good at dancing, right?"
"certainly."
Not only in the United States, but many people in China also like to form relationship networks. If you do things for me, I will help you. Some people also work as "intermediaries" everywhere, introducers know each other and collect some agency fees from them.
In his previous life, Guo Xu also had his own circle of friends, mostly dangling, and everyone was not doing well. He had multiple friends and multiple paths, but he was not resistant to this kind of social life unless you don’t want to make a name for yourself.
So, following the arrangement of his friend, he changed into a beautiful light blue casual outfit and a pair of brown sunglasses. He looked much more mature as a successful person.
The party was held at a friend's Beverly Hills villa in Austin. The family is a giant in the Los Angeles health industry. The industry is said to be bigger, to serve the family's birth, old age, sickness and death, and to be smaller, to serve the whole family's health through "measurement, regulation, care and care".
At the end of June, the weather is getting warmer and everyone is wearing cool clothes, and people of all skin colors have it.
In Los Angeles, people of color who have received higher education and wealthy families are generally not discriminated against. They have fun at parties and communicate without any obstacles. Guo Xu feels that not only Americans discriminate against skin color, but largely discriminate against the poor.
Austin introduced Guo Xu as the NCAA Final Four MOP. After signing up for this year's NBA draft, many people immediately came forward to chat with him.
"Jason, I know you, you're very popular online, dancing to celebrate during the finals, and everyone at the University of Florida is almost irritated by you," said a short white young man.
"Tony, your news is too old. The latest news is that Jason rejected the trial invitation from other teams and only wanted to join the Lakers." A red-haired young man smiled and said, "You are so cool, I have never heard anyone dare to do this."
Guo Xu smiled: "I didn't expect the Hornets to break this up. I didn't mean to be a big shot, I just wanted to join the team I like to play. I am actually a very easy-to-talk person, a low-key person."
Tony asked, "You are so good at dancing? I heard from Austin that you often practice Latin dance with people from the Michigan Dance Company. Isn't that true?"
"Apart from playing basketball, my best attitude is to dance. Latin dance is just average. I am more professional in tango. Is there any lady who is willing to dance with me on the spot?"
"I, I'm willing, don't laugh at me if you don't dance well." A blonde girl in a red dress raised her hand next to Guo Xu and stood up in a posture of getting the moon first.
She looked in her early twenties and had a passionate image. Guo Xu gave a standard gentlemanly gift, gently held the other person's hand and walked into the venue. DJ changed the music in time.
