NBA: I am the card dealer

Chapter 182 Who doesn’t know how to brag?

The next day.

Early in the morning.

When Xue Liancheng was about to go out, his old father suddenly said, "By the way, last night I contacted an agent for you. Not only can he help us solve the contract issues, but he can also take care of you in daily affairs. It should be tomorrow I will come and report."

Xue Liancheng nodded to express his understanding and casually responded, "I understand."

Then he went out.

He didn't want to worry too much about these things.

Come to the arena.

He rushed to the equipment room to train.

When he came out of the equipment room, almost all his teammates were here.

Si Bo waved to him at this moment, "Xue, come here."

Xue Liancheng walked over quickly, "Sir, what's wrong?"

Spoel smiled, "Let me introduce you, this is the physical therapist Johnny, and this is the trainer Brad."

Xue Liancheng looked at the two strong men beside Si Bo, feeling a little confused.

Spoelstra quickly explained, "These are the two professionals assigned to you by the team, so that you can strengthen your training before the game and relax your body after the game."

Xue Liancheng's heart moved and he quickly said hello: "Hello, I will trouble you in the future..."

Specially equipped?

hey-hey……

Is this the end of the inspection?

The old gangster Riley finally spent a lot of money and hired two professionals to assist him.

Ok……

This is how a team leader should be treated.

With a physical therapist, a trainer, and a personal assistant, he looks a bit like a star.

Johnny is a bald, strong man who looks fierce but speaks very gently, "Xue, from now on, leave your body to me..."

When Xue Liancheng heard this, he quickly stated his position: "I hope my body can be given to those hot girls."

Johnny smiled, "Xue, you are so funny..."

Brad was a little shy, "Hello Xue, you can call me when you have extra practice in the future."

Xue Liancheng: "Then you probably won't be able to go home until very late."

Brad: "I'm ready."

Chatted for a while.

Xue Liancheng went into training again.

When it was time for extra practice in the evening, Brad stayed.

He began to try to strengthen his one-on-one ability, especially breaking through and breaking away from the defense. He felt that he needed to work hard to strengthen it.

This can save a lot of energy.

After all, although the bulldozer is effective, it is really tiring to make a sudden move.

Especially as the season progresses, if the game is anxious, he will feel inadequate by the time he fights for the bayonet in the fourth quarter.

and so.

It is imperative to practice the lost track step, find the sense of distance, get rid of the defense, and make yourself more relaxed.

night.

When he got back to the apartment.

The moment he opened the door, he was startled.

There was an extra person in the room, a woman, who was napping on the sofa.

For a moment, he thought there was a thief in his home.

But when he saw that the other party was a woman, he calmed down and asked subconsciously, "Who are you?"

The woman suddenly woke up, stood up and greeted politely, "Hello, Mr. Xue, my name is Zhuang Yan. Mr. Xue invited me here to be your agent and handle daily affairs for you."

Listening to the long-lost Mandarin, Xue Liancheng was a little distracted for a moment.

After such a whole year, except for chatting with his old father, he basically uses English.

Now that he heard the familiar tone, he felt even more at ease.

Zhuang Yan: "Mr. Xue..."

Xue Liancheng came back to his senses, "Uh..."

Then he stared at the girl in front of him.

She looks very cute, with a baby face, a little baby fat, round apple muscles, and a cute pout...

There is an urge to give people a squeeze.

solemn?

Doesn't it look dignified at all?

only……

His face looks like that of a junior high school student, what about this figure?

It's been a long time since I saw it.

But it was completely different from the agent he imagined.

A bit disappointed.

What he wants is an agent who can make money for him, not a cute little girl.

If he wants a girl, he will send them to his door with a wave of his hand...

Can this young, harmless-looking cute girl serve as his manager? Can you help yourself in business?

He was skeptical.

Very, very doubtful.

Seeing Xue Liancheng's surprise, Zhuang Yan seemed to have guessed what Xue Liancheng was thinking, and his face straightened, "I am a PhD candidate in law at the University of Miami. I have passed the USBAR bar exam and have absolute qualifications. I think I can handle daily affairs. I can help you and even give you some advice on taxes.”

Xue Liancheng was shocked.

Or are you studying for a PhD at the University of Miami?

And already passed the bar exam?

So awesome?

It is not easy to pass the USBAR bar exam in the country of rice. Once you pass it, you will be a high-paid worker.

From this point of view, the cute-looking woman in front of me is not simple.

I don’t know where the old father found it...

of course.

The question he is most concerned about is whether this girl is suitable to be his agent?

He said with full of doubt, "Hello, I would like to ask, do you know what the agent wants to do?"

Zhuang Yan raised his black-rimmed glasses and stared straight at Xue Liancheng, "I will use your value analysis to convince your customers with the most advantageous side. You don't need to worry about this. I think I have it all." I can act as your agent."

Xue Liancheng: "..."

Who can't brag?

The issue is……

If you can convince others to pay, that's your real skill.

He decided to give Zhuang Yan a test on the spot, "Then you can try to convince me to hire you now..."

Zhuang Yan asked instead, "Mr. Xue, have you ever thought about your career plan?"

Xue Liancheng: "..."

He was fucked into silence.

Career plan?

What is this?

Like Danzi, he doesn't do anything every year, and someone sends money to him on time. I don't know if this counts as a career plan?

After a pause, he said with interest, "Tell me..."

Zhuang Yan continued, "What I can bring you is actually nothing. I just expand your value. Based on your achievements in the basketball field, I am confident that I can build you into a brand. I dare not It is a brand recognized by the whole world, at least by Chinese people.”

Xue Liancheng's eyes lit up.

This pie is so well painted!

It’s fragrant, big, and looks very delicious.

He does have some agent material.

But he won't agree so quickly, "Sounds good, go ahead..."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "I know, you must think that I am trying to make a fool of myself, but in fact, you have already reached some thresholds. For example, signing a contract with Under Armor and establishing a personal brand is a very good operation."

This time.

Xue Liancheng raised his eyebrows.

Many people think that Under Armor agreed to him setting up a personal brand for no reason, but in fact Plank is also betting that he can become a brand in China.

There are people who can see these things.

But not much.

A cute little girl who looks young actually has this insight.

It's still possible.

Xue Liancheng remained calm and said, "Then tell me, how can I do this well?"

Zhuang Yan: "Being tied to your personal brand will help expand your own influence, market yourself, and become Jordan in the eyes of the Chinese."

Available in the next second.

Zhuang Yan changed the topic: "But if you want to copy his path, the chance of failure will be very high."

Xue Liancheng's face darkened, and his voice became cold, "Hehe...is that why you don't like me so much?"

Zhuang Yan's analysis in the first half was all right. He really wanted to become the Chinese Jordan and copy Jordan's path to success.

He felt that this was the right path.

But he never expected that he would be completely rejected by the little girl in front of him. It would feel like his world had been overturned.

Damn it if he has such a good face.

If it were another man, he would definitely say: You know what a dick...

Zhuang Yan: "No! On the contrary, I am very optimistic about you, I just don't like you copying his path."

Xue Liancheng asked: "Why?"

Zhuang Yan's face condensed: "Because there is only one Jordan in the world, and you can never be him."

These words were like thunder on the ground, shaking Xue Liancheng so much that he had goosebumps on his skin. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a cold glow.

These words touched his heart.

Is there only one Jordan in the world?

He could never be Jordan? Isn’t it even possible to become Jordan in the eyes of the Chinese?

Yes!

This is the fact!

But he always felt that even if he reached half of Jordan's level, it would be considered a success.

His pursuit is not so big.

Although he was very angry, for a moment, he didn't know how to refute, so he could only stare coldly at the cute girl in front of him.

this moment.

He no longer thinks Zhuang Yan is cute, but thinks Zhuang Yan is disgusting.

He actually said some unfavorable words to attack him...

It's so sad to say it, it's just hateful...

Zhuang Yan: "Do you think it's enough to be half, even one-third, or one-fifth as successful as Jordan?"

Xue Liancheng: "Huh?"

He doesn't want to talk now.

Zhuang Yan resolutely said, "You are wrong."

Xue Liancheng couldn't bear it anymore, his voice was so high and cold, "Where did I go wrong? Tell me..."

Zhuang Yan: "Because your positioning is Chinese Jordan, you are just a fake. As a consumer, I will definitely take the product seriously."

boom!

Xue Liancheng's head exploded instantly.

His eyes were wide open, his eyes were not only shocked but also pale.

He just thought that what Zhuang Yan said that he could not become Jordan was just about influence and popularity.

Now that Zhuang Yan spoke frankly, he was shocked both physically and mentally.

The Jordan Zhuang Yan mentioned was not the Jordan at all, but the brand.

Yup!

If he just becomes Chinese Jordan, why don't people buy higher-end Jordan brand products? Why buy this copy of him?

Isn’t this a higher standard?

and so……

The three words Xue Liancheng and the brand of Xue Liancheng are impossible to start.

Even if it succeeds, it will have to succumb to Jordan and never touch Nike's cake.

This little girl...

How special...

Something.

This kind of thinking is simply awesome for Klaas, and it points out his problem to the point.

Xue Liancheng finally calmed down his desperate expression and looked at Zhuang Yan with a sincere face, "So...how do you think I can promote my brand?"

Zhuang Yan: "The first step is to set up people and label them."

Xue Liancheng narrowed his eyes again.

He suddenly felt it made sense!

Every star basically has his own personality, his own personality and label.

For example, Kobe Bryant was Jordan's successor in the early days and the Peter Pan on the basketball court. At that time, Kobe's value was basically inseparable from Jordan's shadow. By 05 and 06, Kobe began to realize that he had to get rid of Jordan's shadow. The Mamba came into being. After winning two championships in 09 and 10, the spirit of the Black Mamba was completely spread, and its commercial value reached its peak. Until the plane crash, the Black Mamba was still widely circulated and regarded as a classic.

This is something that belongs to Kobe himself.

When people mention Kobe, they no longer think of Peter Pan or the successor of Jordan, but the Black Mamba...

This is the importance of labeling people.

this time.

He was completely impressed by the cute girl.

This little girl is really something.

Xue Liancheng began to look at her squarely, and asked humbly, "Then who do you think I should set up as a good person. What label is suitable?"

Zhuang Yan blurted out without thinking: "The persona is the god of point guards. What's the label? He's called Sea King..."

It seems that it has been studied long ago.

Xue Liancheng was shocked, "Are you kidding, Neptune? Are you swearing?"

I don't know how pure he is, the little girl's hand has never touched it.

Neptune?

Fortunately she could figure it out.

Zhuang Yan: "You have a very famous name as Brother Shui now. You can be directly upgraded to Sea King. As the name suggests, the basket is as wide as the sea, and you are the king among them. If you can completely subvert the ambiguous word Sea King, you can become Sea King." If it becomes your exclusive title, then you will succeed."

Upon hearing this.

Xue Liancheng was stunned again.

This……

It seems to make sense.

But it always feels wrong.

As for what was wrong, he couldn't tell for a while.

Zhuang Yan: "Are you confident?"

Xue Liancheng was silent for a while, and decided to leave it aside, let's not talk about it for now, "It's not right for you to be the god of point guard. Jordan is the god of basketball. I'm just the god of the point guard position. Isn't that obviously lower than Jordan?"

Zhuang Yan smiled: "That's why I think Aquaman is the most suitable."

Xue Liancheng: "..."

There is no way to communicate.

He decided to jump over and asked the next step, "After setting up the character and labeling it, what should I do next?"

Zhuang Yan did not answer, but asked with a smile, "Did I pass the interview?"

Xue Liancheng squirmed his lips, and after scolding the little cute girl in his heart, he said, "How much salary will my dad give you?"

Zhuang Yan: "Annual salary is 100 million."

Xue Liancheng almost jumped up, "How much?"

Is it so expensive to hire a broker?

What the hell...

He hasn't even made much money yet, so he's giving money to others?

If a new student takes a million dollars, what is the difference between this and robbery?

Zhuang Yan said seriously, "Mr. Teacher, senior accountant, my abilities are here, I think I am worthy of this annual salary."

These words were spoken righteously and very seriously.

Xue Liancheng also listened very seriously.

Although he thinks Zhuang Yan is really amazing, talented and beautiful.

But being beautiful is not the reason why you take a million dollars! What's more, Zhuang Yan is still a novice at work. Although he has been convinced just now, he has never been on the battlefield and doesn't know if it will work.

One million dollars, he still couldn't accept it.

It’s really a lion’s mouth!

The bloody mouth opened wider than him.

Sudden.

When he realized it, Zhuang Yan was talking about RMB?

If it is, then converted into US dollars, it is more than 10 points.

like……

Not too outrageous.

He quickly confirmed, "Is it RMB?"

Zhuang Yan smiled bitterly, "I don't think I'm so valuable, worthy of a beautiful knife."

Xue Liancheng breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Zhuang Yan's eyebrows tightened, "Why do you ask this? This is my privacy, I have no comment."

Xue Liancheng: "It's better to ask clearly. If you have to go on a business trip in the future and your boyfriend calls to check on you, it will easily affect your work."

Zhuang Yan shook his head, "No."

Xue Liancheng chuckled, "It seems that after studying abroad for so many years, you haven't been tainted yet."

Zhuang Yan: "You have been abroad for two years, and you have become frivolous towards girls."

Xue Liancheng: "..."

It's not enough to just talk, even if you're addicted to talking...

Really are……

Difficult to maintain.

At this time.

He suddenly remembered something, "By the way, didn't you say you were reading? Do you have time to stay with me?"

Zhuang Yan: "Don't worry about this. Since I have taken the money, I will definitely do good things. I will graduate in June next year."

Xue Liancheng: "How many years has my old father signed with you?"

Zhuang Yan: "Verbal agreement for one year."

Xue Liancheng then said, "Okay, you are admitted."

Zhuang Yan also smiled happily, and after a pause, she continued, "I wonder if Mr. Xue has told you about some of the conditions I proposed."

Xue Liancheng's face changed suddenly, "Do you still have conditions?"

Zhuang Yan squeezed his hands and said, "Just a few words, small conditions."

Xue Liancheng said with a stern face, "Let's talk about it first, whether I can accept it or not."

Zhuang Yan: "There are food issues, accommodation issues, travel expenses issues, and return air ticket subsidies."

Xue Liancheng: "Food and accommodation are just a small matter. I have a room here. You can stay there first and travel expenses can be reimbursed. But what do you mean by the return air ticket subsidy?"

The agent has to fly all over the country and even abroad to negotiate contracts. He understands the travel expenses.

What the hell is the return air ticket subsidy?

Zhuang Yan: "I have to go back to China every year. You have to pay for the air ticket."

Xue Liancheng: "..."

It's only tens of thousands of yuan for a round trip, does he need to subsidize this?

So stingy!

Give him a run for his money...

But he still agreed: "Okay, I can accept it."

Zhuang Yan giggled, "Thank you boss."

talking.

Just walked to the other end of the sofa to move the luggage.

Xue Liancheng: "..."
