Abby is going to New York to sign a contract, find an apartment there, and officially take up her post.ESN gave her a week to prepare.After asking, Xia Baowen can help again, his parents and sister are currently living in New York, and they have a wide range of contacts, and introducing an apartment is a piece of cake.When his career started, Abby also cared about Wang Jun and asked him to David's house for dinner and discuss important matters.It turned out that David was going to introduce him to an agent.Wang Jun now has a headache to find an agent, and he can't judge whether it's good or bad.Before, a middle-aged man in his early thirties approached him and Karman, hoping to sign them, but neither of them could believe it, so they didn't agree.The role of the broker is obvious.First of all, they are able to make an effective and correct assessment of the player's business.Wang Jun can't handle this by himself, he doesn't know how much he is worth and what contract he can sign at most.Brokers are experts in a certain industry, and they can rationally evaluate a business.In addition, the agent can find a buyer for the player, that is, the NBA team or other sponsors, according to the specific requirements of the player, as well as the contract provisions, so as to facilitate the success of the transaction between the two parties.There is a fixed standard for broker fees, and the commission is obtained according to the proportion specified in the contract, and there is a limit to the high and low, and the famous ones are slightly higher, and the stars generally have their own brokerage team.The person in charge of negotiations, the person in charge of media PR, the business promotion needs to be planned, in the United States you don't know when people will get involved in lawsuits, and then you also need lawyers.David smiled, "The person I recommended is named Ryan Hughes, who is very experienced and used to be in charge of Jeff's work.He knows all the unspoken rules in his age circle, and he will never cheat you. ”"Thank you so much, I believe.""
You're welcome, but if you want to make money and sign a big contract, you still have to do it yourself.Without strength, no matter how good the economic man is, it is useless.You have to keep trying. ”"I will."
Many rookies join a good team as soon as they enter the league because the agent operates well, the exposure rate is high, and the draft pick is very high.But I can't play it, and I don't have a job after the rookie contract ends, which of course can't be blamed on the agent.There are many such examples, such as Kwame Brown and Olawokandi, two parallel goods, just because of their good physical fitness, the two rough brothers were selected as champions and won big contracts, and the agent contributed a lot.The next day, Wang Jun went to David's house for dinner again, and Ryan Hughes also came, which was not the same as the image Wang Jun imagined.The image of the economic man in his mind is a suit and leather shoes, his hair is covered with hairspray, and he looks confident, like a scholar.Hughes looked more like a white gangster, nearly two meters tall, muscular, small flat head, sharp eyes, tough features, and sharp edges.Wang Jun's other idea is that this person is suitable for playing the "Devil Terminator", that is, the liquid metal robot that chases cars with a blank face and can't be killed."
Hello, Wang Jun, I'm Ryan Hughes, you can call me Ray."
Hughes's voice was very loud and full of strength, and he couldn't tell that he was in his fifties."
Hello, Ray.""
I already know your profile, the top 8 of the tournament, 20 per game, you are very good."
Hughes is good at observing words and feelings, and asked: "Do you think that my image is not as simple as an agent, I used to play ball, but unfortunately my strength is average, I retired relatively early, and in that era, playing was not very profitable." ”Wang Jun nodded, this person was very straightforward and suited to his appetite."
Ray has been in charge of a lot of players and signed big contracts, so you don't have to worry about his ability," David said. ”Hughes shook his head and smiled: "After Jeff retires, I am responsible for ensuring that Anthony Piller's playing time is more guaranteed, I am very happy that you can introduce Wang, this is also to help me." ”The cooperation between the two is a win-win, and without a star under him, Hughes can focus on Wang Jun.Wang Jun can attract the Chinese market, and the commercial value cannot be underestimated, and it is also a good opportunity for him to make money.The two chatted about the specific contract and work plan, and David's grandparents and grandchildren sat in observe.Hughes didn't have a fight, he said it in detail, the agent was not easy to do, and he didn't mind letting Wang Jun know about this.In this industry, people with money and power have everything, and those with no money and power have no luck and can't find a player who can stand firm in the NBA for a long time, and they can only be finished.A lot of brokers are just at a subsistence level.The less the players earn, the less they earn.According to NBA rules, agents can only get 4 or less of the salary from players.Ace agents will get 3-4, generally around 2, and sometimes in order to grab a rookie, some people have taken a salary of 1.If a first-round rookie player has an annual salary of about $2 million, his agent can only get a commission of 20,000 yuan, and it is more than this price to brush the plate in the United States, not to mention the agent who appears in various high-end occasions all year round.If it has a lot of players and is still a star, it will be more terrifying, and the agent may make more than the NBA star combined.For example, the famous agent Ain Tyleum, who has a total of 32 players and an annual salary of hundreds of millions, his commission is equally terrifying, and there is a tendency to continue to expand.Wang Jun asked: "If we sign a contract now, what will you do and what do I need to do?"
"You need to practice, ensure your condition, team tryout, etc., and I will inform you."
You have an advantage that others don't have, and that is the identity of Chinese.Many teams want to develop the Chinese market, which is a big attraction.It's just that your weaknesses are too obvious, you're not good at attacking with the ball, and your defense is terrible on the outside, so I'm afraid you won't be able to sit in the little green room. ”Hughes is optimistic about the Chinese market, which has developed rapidly in recent years."
What is the little green house?"
asked Wang Jun.Hughes almost slammed his head on the table.Such an amateur, if there is a team lottery to pick him, unless it is crazy.Abby and David smiled and bent over.Wang Jun only knows how to play, and he doesn't know anything about some NBA rules, drafts, team salaries, contracts and the like.Abby introduced him."
Little Green House" is a special term in the U.S. sports draft, and it's not limited to the NBA.Each year, 15 people receive an official invitation to enter the "Little Green House" to participate in the draft, which is generally voted on by the general manager of an NBA team and ultimately decided by the league's vice president.These people can go to the draft site accompanied by friends and family, and when they are selected, the officials on the field will give them a cap to pick their team, and then go up to the stage to shake hands with the president and say a few words.Of course, players who are not invited can also go to the scene, but they will not go on stage to shake hands with the president, purely as spectators.Therefore, most rookies choose to watch TV at home.In particular, the international players who signed up for the election will generally not be present unless they are favored to enter the green house, and the team will take the initiative to contact them after the selection.Wang Jun decided to watch TV at home, because of the poor performance in the last game, he knew that he would not be invited
