Basketball injuries only make me stronger

Chapter 12 CAAs
In this era, the mainstream mobile phone is still "Nokia".Lian Feng's family conditions are good, he uses a Nokia mobile phone, and carries Adidas and Nike bags.

After the finals, he gave both Nike and Adidas bags to his classmates, while he changed to an Anta bag.

2005 was an extraordinary year for Huaguo sports brands, and many brands began to transform.If Lian Feng remembers correctly, Li Ning was listed on NASDAQ last year, and Anta will be listed in the year after next.

Because Anta has been pursuing the strategy of "surrounding the city from the countryside" before, although the cash flow and benefits are very good, it has also established a low-end impression in people's minds.Lian Feng remembers that in the past few years, Anta began to change its strategy, and finally became the number one sports brand in China and the third sports brand in the world step by step.

The goal that Anta has set in the past few years is to surpass Adidas and become the second in the world in 2021. Unfortunately, this goal in 2021 is still a little short...

But already very powerful!

After all, Lian Feng is not a real kid, and he will not be irrationally obsessed with so-called foreign famous brands.Things like sports bags, as long as they can fit.

After coming out of the hospital, Lian Feng received a call.He picked it up and saw that it was a high school classmate whom he hadn't contacted for a long time, named Zhuo Mei.

Some doubts.

He completely inherited the memory of the previous Lian Feng.

Zhuo Mei's grades were very good, and she went abroad to study after graduating from high school, and she has not had any contact since then.Why would she call at this time?

Lian Feng picked up the phone.

"Hey?"

"Old classmate, do you remember me?"

A sweet voice came from the handset of the phone.

After four years in college, Lian Feng before his rebirth has already somewhat forgotten Zhuo Mei's appearance. He only remembers that she doesn't seem to like talking very much, and because she is taller among the girls, she has been sitting in the back few rows. Every day when she sees her, she is always quiet. read carefully.

So Zhuo Mei greeted him so enthusiastically, which really made Lian Feng a little strange.

"How could it be! Have you returned to your country?"

"Hehe. That's right, it's been half a year since I came back. I saw you on the sports news. Congratulations. I didn't expect a classmate from a classroom to become a national champion!"

"Ha...just a college student..."

"Anyway, it's amazing! By the way, are you free today? I have something I want to talk to you in person."

Lian Feng couldn't help being more puzzled.There was no intersection for such a long time, what could she do to find herself?
After thinking about it, he was going to find any reason to refuse.Just kidding, I just got the silver skill, and I'm about to try it out, how can I waste time on women?

At this moment, Zhuo Mei suddenly said: "You must not refuse! It is very important, and it may change your life!"

Immediately, Lian Feng's appetite was whetted, but he became vigilant.This kind of classmate who has not contacted for a long time and suddenly becomes so enthusiastic is really abnormal.

"That... I have something to do this afternoon."

In line with the choice that more things are worse than less things, Lian Feng still chose to refuse.

"Oh, what's the matter! I'm a girl who invited you, can I still eat you? It's really important, I can't explain it clearly on the phone. Never mind, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiangliang Cafe, I'll wait for you .You will wait if you don't come!"

After speaking, Zhuo Mei hung up the phone.

Lian Feng had no choice but to put down the phone. After thinking about it, he also felt that he was a bit too mother-in-law. Why don't we just meet up?What else can happen in public?

In the afternoon, Lian Feng arrived at the coffee shop on time. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a tall beauty with curly hair waving at him.

There is no way, I am too tall, and I will always attract attention wherever I walk.

This kind of treatment would not have been given in the previous life, this kind of perspective of seeing all the mountains and small things at a glance... is really great.

Zhuo Mei painted exquisite makeup, with a sweet smile on her face, and seemed to attach great importance to this meeting.It has to be said that the experience of studying abroad alone has completely faded her student spirit.

Lian Feng sat down and said straight to the point: "Long time no see! What's the matter?"

Zhuo Mei said angrily: "You are really a straight steel man! Let's chat for a while! Waiter, take the coffee order."

Lian Feng kept silent, ordered coffee, and chatted with Zhuo Mei for a while, feeling very bored.He'd rather be sweating on the court than dating a woman.

Zhuo Mei sighed, and said helplessly: "Forget it, you are such a wooden man. Let's get down to business."

Only then did Lian Feng regain his spirits: "Yes."

As soon as this was mentioned, Zhuo Mei's expression became serious, and she took a business card from her pocket and handed it over, saying, "Let me introduce myself again! CAA Huaguo District Intern Broker, Zhuo Mei!"

Lian Feng took the business card suspiciously, looked at it, and shook his head: "What is CAA?"

Zhuo Mei laughed: "It's normal that you don't know. To put it simply, we are a brokerage company, but we are a little different from ordinary brokerage companies... Let's put it this way, there are only two kinds of brokerage companies in the world, one is CAA , one is other brokerage companies.”

"Oh……"

"You must not know how powerful our company is. Let's put it this way, at the Oscar ceremony, more than half of the directors and actors will thank our company, because most of them are contracted employees of CAA. Anyone can grow in it Find your own entertainment idol on the list of contracted stars. More than two-thirds of Hollywood’s top movie stars and directors’ careers are affected by CAA. The box office of films directed by CAA’s contracted directors accounts for more than half of the global box office, and this figure is more than other brokerage companies. The sum of the total. Among the 8 Oscar awards, the awards of our company's artists are the sum of the companies ranked second to fifth in the brokerage industry."

Lian Feng listened patiently to Zhuo Mei's words, and then asked: "Hmm...so what? I don't want to be a big star...Of course, the main reason is that I can't be."

Zhuo Mei shook her head seriously.

"I'm looking for you this time because of one of our plans."

"what's the plan?"

Zhuo Mei said: "Our company is the largest entertainment brokerage company, but of course we are not satisfied with the entertainment industry! The strategy of the company's top management is to enter the sports industry in the next two years!"

As soon as Zhuo Mei mentioned this, Lian Feng suddenly remembered a piece of news.It seems that around 2012, James announced that he had quit a certain brokerage company... that company seems to be CAA.

After all, he was a coach in his previous life, and he had little knowledge of business operations, and his focus was on basketball. It's normal not to know this.But Lian Feng also understands how much influence an agency has on players and the entire league.

The NBA is essentially a business.

Lian Feng thought for a while and asked, "I'm just an ordinary college student... What's the use of you looking for me?"

Zhuo Mei said: "We have a plan, which is also an attempt. I will tell you the plan in detail later."

Lian Feng took a sip of his coffee, he ordered sugar-free, but it was too bitter for him.

Put down the cup and ask: "Why wait a while, let's do it now."

Lian Feng has never been in love for two lifetimes.He shrugged his shoulders, with an expression of whether you are going to say it or not.

Zhuo Mei sighed before speaking.

"We plan to sign a group of players who have the potential to enter the NBA in China!"

Lian Feng suddenly laughed: "Do you think I have potential?"

He does.
