NBA villain

Chapter 24 Broker Jones

After entering the new year, a lot of people came to Chicago to play, most of them took advantage of the continuation of the Christmas holiday and New Year's Day holiday.

On Michigan Avenue, you can meet tourists from all over the world.

Crossing Michigan Avenue, after crossing two streets in a row, it is an old road that looks a bit old, with unique Chicago local businesses on both sides, and a store with a brand new billboard that looks out of place. Fortunately, he only Occupies a single facade.

"Here we are." Finny pointed to the sign above.

Yang Di lifted it up and read out softly: "Law firm."

"It has a name, man," Finney reminded.

"Shengyuan Law Firm, uh, I haven't heard of it." Yang Di spread his hands and answered honestly.

"Okay, let's go in then." Finny touched the end of his whip.

The two people approached the glass door and sensed that the glass door of the two of them opened automatically to both sides.The two walked in one after another, and the office inside was quiet, only the sound of fingertips tapping on the keyboard could be heard.

"You two, what do you need?" Seeing the two people entering the door, a handsome Caucasian guy in a suit and leather shoes came up to him, showing a professional smile, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

"Well, is Lawyer Jones here?" When he came to such a solemn and solemn place, Finney couldn't stop laughing, and his speech became normal. Yang Di couldn't help but look at Finney twice.

"Excuse me, which Jones attorney are you talking about?"

"Exactly." Finny scratched his head, "How should I put it?"

"Didn't you say that you are his good friend?" Yang Di couldn't help but interjected.

"Shut up." Finney rolled his eyes.

Then his eyes suddenly lit up, he clenched his fist and hit his palm, "By the way, he's a lawyer from California, California, he can't be wrong."

The handsome Caucasian boy who had always been polite and polite suddenly changed his expression, and asked tentatively, "Excuse me, are you talking about Hanford-Jones?"

"That's right, that's him, hurry up and call him out, which small office is he in?" Finney said with a smile, nodding his head hastily.

The handsome white guy spread his hands, "I'm sorry, Hanford-Jones has left our law firm."

"Huh?" Yang Di and Finney were dumbfounded at the same time.

Yang Di looked at Finney suspiciously, then interjected: "Didn't you say he is an excellent lawyer?"

"Shut up." Finny felt a little hot on his face.

"When did he leave, why have I never heard of him."

The handsome white guy said helplessly: "He has been away for half a month, half a month ago, in an important case, he made a low-level mistake, which led to the loss of the case, so, you know "

"Oh, I see, that is."

Yang Di suddenly realized, and just about to continue talking, Finney jumped up and covered his mouth with his hand.

"This is the place where he lived and his contact information. I hope it can help you." The handsome white guy is still so polite and smiling, which greatly increases Yang Di's affection for him.

"Okay, thank you!" Finney took the small note and dragged Yang Di to escape.

"Why are you running? I think this guy is quite honest and polite. I'm going to ask him if Gao is happy to be my manager."

"Don't dream, their monthly salary is higher than your three-month salary."

According to the location on the note, it was already close to the southern suburbs of Chicago. Yang Di didn't know the way, and Finney took the lead.

Finny wanted to complain, "Why did Mao find an agent for this man, what crime did I do!"

In a densely populated residential area, under a certain seven-story residential building, Finney raised his head, "It should be here." Then he looked down at the note again, making sure it was correct.

The two climbed to the fifth floor, and then knocked on the door loudly.

Ten seconds later, there was still no movement at the gate.

"That's right, it's this way." Finny glanced at the note again angrily, and knocked on the door louder, and the sound of knocking echoed in the corridor.

"Everything is not going well." Yang Di looked up at the cobweb-covered ceiling, speechless.

After a while, when Finny was about to knock on the door for the fourth time, the door finally creaked and opened.

"Who, which bastard came to harass me in broad daylight?" A fluffy hair, messy like a bird's nest, wearing a pair of glasses, a bearded head poking out.

"Hanford?" Finny stroked his braided head again.

"Finny?"

"Fuck, it's really you!" Finny was taken aback, and then smiled. The man laughed too, and after opening the door, he and Finny hugged warmly.

"Dude, how could you... I mean, I mean you look a little bit out of shape."

"Uh..." Jones touched his bird's nest head, combed his hair, raised his eyebrows, and pushed his glasses, "Ha, I have encountered some troubles recently, which is really annoying. Don't talk about these, come in and sit down For a while." Then, Rafenni entered the door, and only then did he notice Yang Di standing like a diamond behind Finney.

"Fuck, this bodyguard is..."

"This is my new brother, Yang Di from China, you can call him Dick Yang, he is now a basketball player." Finney just introduced Yang Di.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Yang Di smiled and stretched out his hands.

An inexplicable light flashed in Jones' eyes, and he shook hands with Yang Di with a smile, "Amazing, young and promising."

Walking into the house, Yang Di smelled a sour smell.There are beer cans and snack bags all over the place, and unwashed clothes are piled up on the sofa in the living room. There is a thick layer of dust on the coffee table, and discarded newspapers and spider webs are in a mess in the corners.

"Come, sit." Jones found two benches from nowhere, but after Yang Di's tall body sat down, it looked more like a low stool.

"Dude, I heard you left the law firm, what happened?" Finney asked.

"It's nothing, hey, it's hard to say, I took a case but didn't win it." Jones spread his hands and said.

Yang Di rolled his eyes, what is hard to understand at a glance, isn't this clear in half a sentence, which means that Jones lost the lawsuit and was fired by the angry boss?He has a quick mind, so the possibility of him successfully establishing diplomatic relations today is much higher?

Finney and Jones began chatting, laughing now and then.

Yang Di's mind went deep into the system space, the main task, and the detection of the agent module began.

"Congratulations to the host for finding an agent to sign, Hanford-Jones."

"Hanford-Jones, D-level broker, commercial D-, negotiation C-, network C+, reputation D."

Can you sign a contract?Yang Di was overjoyed. As early as when he completed the first street competition, he knew that the system had its own set of evaluation criteria for the outside world. Not all competitions could be called street competitions, so not everyone could be called a suitable one. The agent, who did not expect this discovery of conscience, gave him an agent module, which gave him a clearer and more thorough understanding of Jones.

Finney began to delve into today's topic, expressing his intention.

"Hanford, you know, this little brother I just met is a basketball player. He is very good and has great potential. He is already the main power forward of the Windbirds. Last time he almost defeated the Tigercats in the same city. .”

"I know, I know." Hanford-Jones raised his hand, looked at Yang Di, Yang Di also looked at him, and then he said with a smile: "It is indeed a very good young man, but the problem is that I am just a Lawyer, do you need me to be your private legal adviser? The price is very expensive."

Jones didn't say a word, which means that Yang Di must not be able to pay his salary.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and then Yang Di took the initiative to speak, saying: "Mr. Jones, you know, my dream is not to be a semi-professional basketball player in the Windbirds for the rest of my life. I hope to become a real, professional basketball player." As a basketball player, I am less than 19 years old this year, and if I have a chance in the future, I hope to become an NBA player."

What Yang Di said was very serious and sincere, not like a joke at all.Both Finney and Jones couldn't help sighing in their hearts, NBA, what a distance, it is the rich man's paradise that all the poor yearn for.

"If you believe me, in half a year at most, I can reach the level of an average rookie in the NBA."

"And I hope to hire you as my agent, part-time."

"The task you have to do is very simple, that is, after four months, after the end of the NBA regular season, help me arrange a trial training with an NBA team, and send a written application to the NBA 45 days before the draft. You know, these The task is not difficult for you, you just complete it incidentally, even if you fail, you don’t owe anything.”

Hanford-Jones pondered slightly, but did not reject Yang Di, while Finney secretly gave Yang Di a thumbs up.

After a while, Jones raised his vicissitudes but energetic head, and said: "Yes, I have been an agent for a while, but it's not about sports. But other than that, you must You have to pay me a salary of one thousand dollars. In addition, if you enter the NBA draft successfully, your first rookie salary contract must be signed with me, and I will not take advantage of you, just follow the [-]% of the NBA regulations sign."

"No problem." Yang Di was overjoyed, and finally completed this ghost task.

Finney was dumbfounded, is this the end?Hey, hey, you don't really think Yang Di is going to be an NBA player, do you?I was only with him because of...

The two quickly signed a simple contract in black and white.

Yang Di generously took out 2000 yuan to pay the salary for two months. At this time, Finney came to his senses, Ma De, he was cheating money, and I did not misread him. Suddenly, he looked at Jones who was shaking hands. Yang Di's eyes were full of sympathy.

A message came from the system: "Congratulations to the host for completing the main task, looking for a broker!"
