Chapter 98

Hearing Jiang Bei's rhetorical question, Yuan Lin explained: "I have already graduated this year, and my teacher said that he found me a job in Los Angeles for me to take a look at! Now I can tell you about you! I am very vigilant at such a young age. Pretty strong!"

Jiang Bei felt a little speechless after listening to Yuan Lin's words. It's really not that Jiang Bei was vigilant, but just habitually wanting to take the initiative.

So I immediately replied: "I received an invitation from the Los Angeles Lakers to participate in a trial training!"

"Oh? You're a basketball player. Don't you try out two weeks before the draft? How can you still try out now that the regular season has started!" Yuan Lin asked suspiciously.

"I can't see that you know the NBA quite well! This time, it's a separate invitation from the Lakers. There's no draft or contract issue. It's just to get to know each other and prepare for next year's draft in advance!" Jiang Bei explained.

"You are only 17 years old this year, and you won't be old enough to participate in the draft next year!" Yuan Lin continued to ask.

"It seems that your understanding is only one-sided. If you want to participate in the draft in advance, you can sign up on the draft official website, or write a letter to the NBA president. If you meet the requirements, you can participate in the draft in advance. I got the opportunity to participate in the draft in advance because someone wrote a recommendation letter. Do you understand?" Jiang Bei patiently explained.

"Oh, so that's the case, and there are such operations. It seems that you play basketball very well, and you can actually get the opportunity to participate in the draft."

"No, I said, why are you, a high-achieving business student, so interested in basketball!" Jiang Bei asked curiously.

"It's like this. My teacher introduced me to the job of an NBA star agent, so I also learned about it in advance."

"Are you sure which star you are serving for? If not, you can find me, I still need an agent!" Jiang Bei said jokingly.

"Let's talk about it after you officially sign the contract!" Yuan Lin replied with a smile.

The NBA is a mature business league. The NBA players under the top ten sports agency companies in the NBA have a total salary of nearly 26 billion.

Agents are mainly responsible for players' transfer and signing, negotiating business cooperation for players, helping players build their personal images, and handling various related matters on and off the court... The brokerage team can help players deal with these issues quickly and efficiently, so that players can Focus on training and competition.

The commercial value of a player is closely related to his performance and honor on the field. Only by making a name for himself on the field can he make a name for himself off the field.Hiring a brokerage team to help you maximize the benefits of the mall and at the same time play your best game, why not do it?As strong as Kobe and James, they also need the help of a brokerage company to manage their business.

Having mentioned this, Jiang Bei also plans to find a broker and build his own brokerage team, which is something that must be done in the future.

With this purpose in mind, Jiang Bei chatted with Yuan Lin about some other things, and found that although Yuan Lin didn't know much about the NBA, she was worthy of being a top student at Harvard Business School, and her business ability was outstanding. In addition, she was also of Chinese descent, so she naturally became Jiang Bei's first choice.

After chatting for a while, both of them lay down to rest for a while. After all, the long-distance flight is not short.

Before getting off the plane, Jiangbei and Yuan Lin exchanged mobile phone numbers to facilitate future contact. If possible, Jiangbei plans to choose Yuan Lin as his agent. Compared with foreigners, Jiangbei is more willing to trust his own people.

Los Angeles is a city located on the west coast of country M, also known as the "City of Angels".Los Angeles is located in the southwest of California in country M. It is the second largest city in country M, second only to New York. It is also the largest city in the west and the largest seaport in country M.

Kobe Bryant, the head of the Los Angeles Lakers, is one of the city's signs. This is the city Kobe fought for. Up to now, you can still see Kobe's portrait on the streets, which are drawn by fans of this city to commemorate him.

The Staples Center, home of the Lakers, is a multi-purpose sports center in downtown Los Angeles, California, USA, located near the Los Angeles Convention Center. The construction started on March 1998, 3, and it was officially completed and opened on October 31, 1999, with a total cost of 10 million US dollars. The owner is AEG and it is sponsored by Staples.Staples Center is one of the most popular sports centers in the United States. It is the common home of the NBA Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers, with a maximum capacity of 17 people. It is also the only arena shared by two teams in the NBA.

After Jiang Bei got out of the airport, he took a taxi to the hotel. It was already late when he arrived in Los Angeles today. Jiang Bei planned to stay here first, and then go to the Lakers for a tryout tomorrow.

The hotel Jiang Bei booked was the InterContinental Los Angeles Center. It is a star hotel with complete facilities. The key point is that it is very close to the Staples Center, which is quite convenient. After all, it is Jiang Bei’s first time in this city, and he is not familiar with the place. , The traffic is very inconvenient, it's better to live closer.

On the way to the hotel, I passed the Staples Center. From the outside, Staples looks like a building in outer space, and the night sky in Los Angeles can always give the arena a Hollywood imprint.

It is said that Staples' scoreboard is the best in the entire NBA, and even fans sitting in the highest stands can see it clearly.I don't know what's going on, anyway, now that the regular season has started, Jiangbei plans to watch a Lakers game after the trial training is over. After all, Jiangbei has never watched the NBA live. Although there will be opportunities in the future, and even himself will play, but now the feeling is different.

Full of this yearning for the NBA, Jiang Bei officially checked into the Intercontinental Hotel in the center. After washing up, Jiang Bei lay on the bed and entered the system training camp.

"Master, I'm in Los Angeles!" Jiang Bei said excitedly when he found Kobe.

"Well, I can see that as soon as I came to this city, I felt very friendly. Everything here has not changed, it is still exactly the same as before!" Kobe looked at the sky above the arena in a daze, as if his eyes could see through Roof sees through everything, with melancholy and sadness in his deep eyes.

"Boy, you don't have to join the Lakers. No matter which team you join, it's the same. I just hope you don't forget your original intention and play well. To be honest, if the Lakers didn't sign me, I would Maybe it will be another city’s Kobe, but now, I’m just Los Angeles’ Kobe, the Lakers’ Kobe! As long as you choose, then keep going!”
