Basketball's best forward and guard

Chapter 25 25 [Broker]

With a victory to end the schedule before the All-Star break, the opponent is still the Warriors, which may be the best result.

Next, the Spurs will usher in a week of rest, and most of them, except for the All-Star Aldridge, can arrange their time freely.

For Jiang Hao, this short vacation may be destined to be busy. Although the upcoming All-Star Weekend in New Orleans has nothing to do with him, it does not mean that he can also easily complete the vacation plan like everyone else. .

From the beginning of the season to the present, except for giving himself to the training hall and the arena, he basically didn't care about other things.
And as he played better and better in the Spurs, in fact, many things came to him unintentionally.

The NBA is not only a palace of basketball, but also a business field, where commercial interests are basically everywhere.

During this period of time, Jiang Hao has received a lot of commercial endorsements and advertisements directly or indirectly, which made him feel more and more that he needs an agent.

Frankly speaking, for those hungry and wily agents who are active in the league, it is impossible for them to treat "potential stocks" like Jiang Hao as nothing.

As early as Jiang Hao's first appearance in the NBA, he received requests from several agents for cooperation.

But at that time, Jiang Hao chose to refuse.

But now, Jiang Hao felt that it was time. When the time came to February, even if it was not long before the season ended completely.

In this case, he also has to plan ahead. With his performance in the Spurs, he knows that he does not lack an offer contract, but it is always good if he has a professional agent to help him check.

During this all-star weekend, Jiang Hao decided to interview several agents, and without exception, the agents he planned to interview were all well-known agents who were active in the circle.

In San Antonio, the first person to meet Jiang Hao was Jeff Schwartz, a capable man from the sports agency Excel Sports Management.

Jeff Schwartz should be the most successful agent in the current league. As of now, he has Love, Griffin, Aldridge, Zhuang Shen, McCollum, Jokic, Whiteside, Barnes, Rubio and other 33 NBA signing stars, including 8 All-Star players.

People's evaluation of him is: pay attention to quality!
What do you mean?
This guy will only cooperate with star players and potential rookies, insisting on the "high-end route", and it is difficult for ordinary players to get his employment contract.

Jiang Hao is very satisfied that this guy has sent him more than one request for cooperation before this, which is considered to be his foresight.

"I think you will become the top swingman in the league. You are the most NBA-like Chinese player I have ever seen. As for the commercial value hidden in you, I don't think I need to say more. You are from China. Under the premise of strong strength, it is a matter of course for you to become a business superstar."

Jeff Schwartz is able to do things. He took 8 minutes to guide Jiang Hao through the blueprint ppt he had built for Jiang Hao on his notebook, and then he said very confidently that as far as the current alliance is concerned, he can facilitate Jiang Hao Cooperation with any superstar.

"Forget it, I hate this kind of atmosphere." Jiang Hao immediately stopped Schwartz, he didn't want to follow the trend and join the championship team.

The entire interview process seemed to be in a harmonious atmosphere. Jiang Hao was sure that he had basically been conquered by Jeff Schwartz, and the professional ability he showed was simply unbelievable.

However, Jiang Hao did not immediately decide to agree to him in the end, because Jeff Schwartz hoped that he could serve as Jiang Hao's exclusive agent. The business scope he needed was not only in the United States, but also covered all.

This made Jiang Hao hesitate.

Afterwards, Jiang Hao met with Rich Paul, a rising star whose strength cannot be underestimated.

Because Rich Paul is a good brother and agent of "League No. 1" LeBron James, he should be the most familiar agent to fans.

Maybe Rich Paul can't compare with veteran agents like Jeff Schwartz in terms of connections, but his professional ability is trustworthy.

Helping Tristan Thompson of the Cleveland Cavaliers to get a big contract before is one of his masterpieces.

He is in the limelight now, and the players under his contract are also many big-name stars. In addition to James, Davis and John Wall, the thick-browed brother, are all his clients.

"A few years ago, people said that I would always be just a shadow of LeBron, but now? I am a dreamy and absolutely professional agent, and you are too, so why don't we join hands?" Rich Paul's The opening remarks were far more simple than Jiang Hao imagined. He thought that Rich Paul would show him his professional ability as soon as he came up, but it was obviously not the case.

Jiang Hao appreciates people with dreams, and most of the time it represents more than just money, just like the experience that he was so desperate that he had no money to pay the rent for a few months and still gritted his teeth and persisted.

So, he gave Rich Paul room to continue talking.

"As we all know, my one-year minimum salary contract expires this summer, so, if you were my agent, what kind of suggestion would you make to me, leave or stay?"

Jiang Hao raised a question.

"Of course it's leaving," Rich Paul said without hesitation.

"I understand the Chinese people's serious attitude of bringing Zhientubao to work. San Antonio accepted you when you needed help the most, but "there is no banquet that never ends" is also from your China quotes"

Rich Paul obviously did enough homework, and Jiang Hao felt that he could try to take the Chinese CET-[-] exam.

"What is certain is that if you continue to stay in the Spurs, your level will be further improved, but this increase is far less than your expectations. Moreover, let's take Kawhi Leonard as an example. small forward, but he’s not even as topical as Houston’s Tucker.”

"I have [-]% respect for the San Antonio Spurs, but I would never advise you to stay"

Rich Paul's clear and professional analysis made Jiang Hao surprised again, at least this guy didn't make trouble for him.

"Believe me, Jiang, I'm not just a profit-seeking money man." Rich Paul finally looked at Jiang Hao sincerely.

"Mr. Rich Paul, happy cooperation." After 30 seconds, Jiang Hao stood up and stretched out his right hand.

Before having an interview with Rich Paul, frankly speaking, he had the least confidence in reaching a cooperation with Rich Paul.

But at the moment just now, he suddenly saw something else in Rich Paul's eyes, and Jiang Hao understood it as ambition, or a dream.

This made him stretch out his right hand without hesitation, maybe this is fate, just like his inexplicable talent has been improved.
