Chapter 43 Economic Man

"Mr Hu!" "Give this gentleman a glass of whiskey."After the man greeted Hu Lin again, he immediately said to the bartender.

"I'm Don Michael, did Brown tell you about it before?" This is when Hu Lin came to a small bar after participating in the All-Star Weekend, and a white man in his 30s was sitting there.

This guy is wearing a neat suit, his hair is not messy, and the skin on his face is also very thin, a little dark, obviously it has been carefully maintained.Hu Lin knows that in Europe and the United States, rich people only have wheat-colored skin, because they have time to bask in the sun, or simply do beauty and tanning.Poor people are fat and white, and of course poor black people are just fat.

It seems that this is a guy who pays great attention to 'face'.After a brief glance, Hu Lin gave the foreigner in front of him a definition.

"Hmm! I've heard of you. Brown mentioned it to me before." That's right, this guy should be Brown's agent. This is why Hu Lin told Brown that he wanted to go to the NBA after getting acquainted with Brown. Dude, do you have any connections?Brown was also interesting enough to directly recommend his agent.

"OK, let me just say it straight. I have a way to go to the NBA, straight through, and there is no detour. I have actually been here for a few days and watched some of your game videos. Let me tell you this, your performance is very good. Good! Really! Don't look at me like that, it's the truth."

Hu Lin is indeed a bit unbelievable, if this is really the truth.You know, he is just a substitute now, and he still can't guarantee playing time. How can it be so easy to enter the NBA?You thought it was a YY novel!
"Listen to me, your performance is really good. First of all, although your playing time is not much, but from the perspective of efficiency, it is very impressive. Your shooting percentage is super high, and most of them are dunks. This shows that your Physical fitness is good, do you agree with this? OK. Second, you play very tough. I have been here for a few days and watched some of your videos. Not only do you often finish with dunks, but you are not afraid of confrontation and prefer Attacking the rim, this is rare among Chinese players. Many people think that Chinese people are soft guys who float and shoot on the basketball court, especially if you are just a guard. Right? Ok. Next, you still participate I participated in this All-Star Game and won the Slam Dunk Contest. This qualification is still very good. You have to know those team owners in the NBA. They don’t know what’s going on here, right? They have the most, Just learned from the Internet, and you happen to be very popular on the Internet. OK. Finally, your data in CUBA is better, which shows that your skills are comprehensive and your ability is excellent. Even if you have not entered any national youth team, but These things are all real, right. OK! So, I think the possibility of you entering the NBA is very high!" Don Michael said a lot of things in one breath, and he took a sip of wine directly when he was tired.

"You mean, I can enter the NBA because the people over there don't understand the situation in our country?" Hu Lin was not an idiot, and he understood it at the time.Yes, in fact, everyone is like this, and we don’t know much about the situation in the United States. It’s like going to other people’s networks, and we have to go over the firewall, but they also want to go over the wall, and the reason is the same.

"That's not all. You can enter the NBA, first of all, you have to sign a contract for me, and then the rest." Sure enough, business is business.

"Hehe, not bad. I really like your character." In business, there is nothing wrong with it.

"So what do you think? Sign with me?"

"I very much hope to enter the NBA. If you can help me, of course it will be no problem to sign. But, I want to know how you operate?" Lao Hu is not so easy to fool.

"I can't be too specific. You know, there are a lot of business secrets involved." Don Michael said with a look that you understand.

"OK." Of course Hu Lin understood that this was probably his way of survival, and those secrets should be his network of relationships.

"It's actually very simple. I have a way to find those who can decide these things. I will make a collection for you. Of course, it is not difficult, but it also costs money, as well as your various data, and then give them Look. Like I said, really, your stats are great, and with the highlights, you're going to be one of those players who don't see their true value, players who are overshadowed, like Carlos Boozer Well, everyone originally thought he was a softie. Believe me, many people prefer to find players like you who are not so famous and have great strength. Because the famous ones are often difficult to get. For example, LBJ, who Everyone knows that he is good, but your team needs to be bad enough and you have to be lucky enough. So, speaking from my personal experience, you should have a high chance of being spotted by others, and this should not be a problem. Moreover, all Everyone has seen the potential market in China. No matter what the future holds for Yaoming, the Rockets will make a lot of money. Look at Xue Yuyang this year. As long as they have the right people, they will definitely not let them go, trust me." You have Relationships are simple, but if it doesn't matter, it is even more difficult. There is no difference between domestic and foreign countries.

"sounds good!"

"Of course, all I provide to my clients is professional advice. In addition, I hope you don't rush to the NBA after the draft." This is quite unexpected.

"Why?" Lao Hu was also a little strange, looking at the foreigner in surprise.

"To be honest, don't be angry. What we do is superficial. You should be the most aware of your own weight. Can't you see the level of this league? Just the CUBA you participated in before. Can it be compared with the NCAA? How low is the level of confrontation in this kind of league? Do you need me to say? You can’t guarantee playing time in such a place, what will happen if you go to the NBA?” This is completely for Lao Hu’s consideration .

"Thank you! Actually, I was thinking of doing this too. I know that I am still far from the level of the NBA. Can I ask, why do you say that? Isn't it easy for your customers to run away?" Hu Lin really It's a bit strange, because this Don Michael is definitely a treacherous guy who can fool a guy like Brown into the Liaoning team, how could he be so honest!

Hu Lin really doesn't want to go to the NBA right now, he still has some self-knowledge. The experience of his previous life told him that the NBA is not so fun.

If you have the height of Yaoming, such thick thighs, and such soft touch, well, you can go right away, because you will succeed.But Hu Lin doesn't have that kind of height talent. He is an outside player, and his height is less than two meters.As far as his type is concerned, in the United States, he is really a catch. He is really good at playing the ball. Moreover, NBA guards, his ball-handling skills, and even all aspects The technology absolutely blows up several streets of CBA defenders.

The simplest example, in the memory of Hu Lin's last life, Sun Dasheng went to the NBA, what happened?The administrator of the drinking fountain, then the NBDL was delegated, and then it was laid off. That's it. Sun Dasheng has been honed in the low-level leagues in the United States. His talent is better than Hu Lin. What do you Hu Lin do?

Therefore, Hu Lin also understands in his heart that there is still a big gap between him and him. He has too little exposure to professional basketball, and the CBA is not very professional, but you haven't played well in such a league. How can you go to the NBA?

"Ha! That will of course make some people run away, but, you have to know, it is very difficult to get a big contract in your situation. I personally think that your chances of being selected in the first round are very small. Do you think I flew to China once just for 30% of the $4?"

"Then I ran away, didn't you even lose the air ticket money?" Lao Hu said jokingly.

"No, there are still many goals! Even if it doesn't work, I can still treat it as a trip." Don Michael also said with a smile.

"Okay, let's discuss the details of the contract!" Hu Lin didn't seem to think much about it.

"Oh, you've decided?" Really surprised, Don Michael suddenly felt that this young man was not that simple, at least this kind of courage was not something ordinary people could have.

"That's right, it should be said that you have impressed me! Your profession, including your greed!"

"Oh hoo. I knew you would agree, haha, come and wish us a quicker cooperation! Cheers!" I fooled one more, of course I have to celebrate, and the object of celebration is the object of my fooling, this is really Very cool.This is the legendary saying that if you sell someone else, they will still count the money for you.Hurry up!
"I can't drink too much, but cheers!" Hu Lin was still full of self-discipline.

"Haha!" It seems that this is a very professional athlete, which is different from some of the stars Tang has seen before, so Tang looks quite happy.

"I just want you to handle my NBA and American affairs..."

After that, the two began to discuss the details of the contract, and Hu Lin also decided to test the waters in the 04 draft.
