April 7, 5:30 pm

Young, who had just participated in the Duke Championship Parade, heard his cell phone ring before he opened the dormitory door. When he took out his cell phone and found that it was a call from an unknown number, his face instantly darkened. He announced his participation after the game early this morning.

After the draft, his cell phone never stopped receiving calls except during the parade.

"Who are you?"

"I am Rich Paul, LeBron James' agent. Do you have time to come to Cleveland and meet LeBron James?" The other person wanted to use LeBron James to influence him, and he could tell the next second after he finished speaking.

Unfortunately, the opponent came too late. He had already circled the agent he wanted before the semi-finals.

"No time, no interest." After saying that, Yang simply hung up the phone and struck him out without giving the other party a chance to strike again.

After about 40 minutes, Yang almost packed up his things in the dormitory, went to his computer and started browsing today's NBA news.

"I saw Dennis and I when Young was rebounding."

"I think with Yang's talent, he can get an endorsement contract worth 200 million yuan."

"Young has LeBron-level vision and KD's long-range shooting. I believe he will be a regular in V and the best lineup in the future."

"Facing Young, who averaged a triple-double in March Madness, and Towns, who averaged 103 points and 67 rebounds per game, we are convinced that there is no hope of victory!"

"The top 100 pick is Yang. If not, the manager must send himself to the psychiatric department of the hospital to check his mental condition...

After reading the touting content one after another, Yang decisively gave up his past habit of clicking on the next media website, and instead opened the airplane ticket purchase website.

At 7:10 a.m. on April 8, Young, who took the first flight back to his hometown of Charlotte, did not choose to go home directly. Instead, he dragged his large suitcase and knocked on the door of a coffee shop that had not yet opened.

Door

"Who is it?" More than a minute later, the coffee shop finally echoed.

"Uncle Jim, it's me"

"It's you, why are you back so early? Shouldn't you still be at Duke?" Uncle Jim opened the door and saw Yang dragging two large suitcases.

"I want to choose an agent. I don't believe in other places, so I can only come here. As for the college procedures, I have already completed it. Leaving early and leaving late makes no difference." In view of the relative relationship between Uncle Jim and himself, Yang also

Just told the truth.

"Okay then, I'll go and clean up the box briefly."

…………

"boring"

When the eight o'clock bell rang, the first agent arrived as scheduled

"Sit down! The coffee is freshly brewed in the morning, you can do as you like! If it's not enough, I can ask Uncle Jim to add more."

"Thank you. Let's talk business! What do you want to know?"

"The first draw ratio."

"Salary: 3, sneaker endorsement, 22, if it is a foreign endorsement, 15."

"If there are any unfavorable comments about me, can you clarify them as soon as possible?"

"Can"

"If something happens to me here, can you come over personally to help me handle the matter?"

"Look at the priorities of things."

“Relationship with Nike and Adidas”

“Not bad!”

"You analyze the bad team..."

After asking two or three more questions, the agent opposite made a request to leave first.

After sending the agent out of the coffee shop, an unexpected voice appeared in Yang's ears:

"My child, are you finished with your game? Take a walk and go home to play Chinese chess, badminton, and table tennis with me. I don't have anyone to play with me even when you're not here, so I can only play with one bird."

"Grandpa, I'm not done yet. I'm interviewing agents. How about I stay with you when I'm done?" Young, who is proficient in all ball games, faced with his grandfather who has a playful mind of over 100, returned to his home in Charlotte.

I have to take some time to spend time with my grandfather.

"Then you go ahead, Jim, and give me a cup of black coffee." Although he was a little regretful, my grandfather didn't say anything."

…………

Ten minutes later, the second candidate also came. He was different from the first candidate. The first candidate was not very famous in the United States, but this one was very famous.

"It's a quite quiet place, and the decoration is elegant. It's a good place to discuss business." Looking at the landscape paintings on the wall, BJ Armstrong praised his choice.

"Uncle Jim's father and my grandfather designed this together. That's why I called you here to talk. The safety factor is higher."

"It's safe now, but if you want to sign a contract, the person at Yahoo must know that you are now a hot candidate for the No. 1 pick, and you will be watched all the time. Just like the tweet he sent yesterday about your decision to participate in the draft.

Special, I browsed many pages in less than ten minutes;

So in the information age, keeping things secret is too difficult.”

jingle bell, jingle bell

I wanted to hang up the phone, but the caller was Coach K, so I had to let Young say sorry to Armstrong.

"Yeah, um, um, I understand." The call was very short and ended within a few words.

"The Adidas public relations team came to Duke to find you and found that you were not there?" The first sentence after hanging up the phone made Yang a little frightened.

"That's right, how did you know?" Now that it was pointed out, there was no need for Yang to say anything else.

"I have channels, and I know they came to you with a 7-year, 60 million endorsement contract. They are determined to get it." BJ Armstrong shook his phone and joked with a smile.

"Is my worth so good?" After rejecting Nike's five-year, $12.5 million sneaker endorsement contract last summer, Young stopped paying attention to this.

"Of course, draftxress and ockdraft both gave you the best ratings in the past ten years."

"I still have some questions to ask you. After all, I still have some concerns."

"I will definitely give you the most honest answer."

"You have too many players. Can you guarantee that when something happens to me, you won't send your subordinates to deal with it personally?"

"It comes as it comes!"

"My choice is my choice. You can give suggestions and I will consider it, but it is me who decides. You can't make the decision, can you?"

"Unless you do something extremely stupid, I won't interfere with you."

"Image packaging, my attitude is that I am who I am, and I don't want to live under packaging. What is your attitude?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't take the initiative to fight, don't take the initiative to cause trouble in the locker room, or scold the referee, that's it."

"Rumor question about me?"

"If you haven't done it before, I can help you clarify it as soon as possible."

"Okay, now I'm not asking for anything. I want to know what you can do?"

"I know about the relationship with Adidas, but what about Nike?"

"It's okay, but of course it can't compare to the relationship we have with Adidas."

"Rate of commission?"

"The salary for the rookie contract is 2, and the endorsement fee is 15. If you want to renew after the rookie period, let's talk about it again."

"Okay, I chose you. From today on, you will be my agent. I rely solely on you for publicity on Twitter and other media."

"Okay, the contract length and signing will be discussed after my team comes in the afternoon." BJ Armstrong was naturally overjoyed to be able to sign the top pick.

"Can"

"Then can you help me find someone to tell Nike and Under Armor that Adidas is offering 60 million yuan over 7 years?"

"Do you think the price is low? Then I can try, but there is no guarantee of success. This price is Durant's first offer when he signed with Nike."

"Where do you think the bottom line is?"
Chapter completed!
