Chapter 215. 216. An Imminent Fortune
"God, is this true?"

On the way home, Father Andrew opened his mouth wide in surprise. He has always been a very steady person.

"If that guy wasn't making fun of me or it's April Fools' Day in the Perkins family or something."

Lin Feng was very calm, and he would pretend that this hadn't happened until he received a call from Nike or Adidas executives.

But he reckoned that this matter was probably true. Old Pa was a steady person. Although he usually looked crazy, he would not tell Lin Feng if he was not fully sure.

Well, calm down, wait for your phone to ring, and you will be able to have a sneaker named after you right away.

With this news, Lin Feng suddenly felt relieved, and drove home a lot faster.

The official meeting between him and Lao Pa was on the second night, and the two went to a cafe, making it look like a private date.

The old handkerchief is very formally dressed, with a suit and a bow.

"Are you going to participate in the presidential election?" Lin Feng asked wonderingly.

Lao Pa spread his hands, "Can't we be formal? Sit down like a business discussion and experience the feeling of a business elite."

Well, Lin Feng helped him find the feeling of being an agent, but he was only wearing casual clothes tonight.

Old Pa glanced at the red Ferrari outside, with some envy in his eyes, "The new car is nice, it's a Ferrari! My dream sports car."

Lin Feng smiled, "You can also buy one, it's not expensive, 30 US dollars."

Old Pa was helpless, "All my savings now are only 30, which is just enough for a sports car for you. To be honest, I really envy you bastards. You play ball with a high salary and enjoy the cheers of women every night. It's a god-like profession. .”

Lin Feng intends to comfort him, if those sports brands can really give him a big order, it will be a good thing for Lao Pa, and he will also take away a valuable commission.

"Okay Gary, thanks for the reassurance. All I have to say is that the news is 100% true, and my college roommate is very reliable, and he won't tell me fake news."

Lao Pa's eyes were very serious, and Lin Feng was willing to believe it was true.

They made a calculation. At present, Lin Feng's annual salary is less than 200 million, and he is still a rookie salary. I am afraid that he will not be able to get a good price for brand endorsements. It is only a few million a year, and it is difficult to reach the level of a superstar. Tens of millions of endorsement fees.

However, more than one sports brand is interested in Lin Feng, which means that there is room for bargaining, and there may be surprises.

In short, there is no clue about this matter, and everything is equal to zero before receiving the call.

"Gary, what do you think of our relationship?" Old Pa said suddenly.

Lin Feng was a little taken aback, "We are good brothers, even though you are ten years older than me, I always treat you as my peers."

Old Pa nodded contentedly, "Very well, since you are a good brother, of course you can tell me who Ursula Watson is, right?"

Lin Feng was helpless, it turned out that this guy is also a gossip fanatic, he should go to Hollywood to be a manager for movie stars, maybe he can become "Mr. Song Zhe of America".

"You want to ask if something happened to us? Haha, you guessed it. Ursula's father once suggested that Jenny Buss send me back to the Knicks in exchange for a Goldman Sachs investment report because I punched his business partner, Chris Paul, in the game."

Old Pa nodded thoughtfully, "Don't worry my brother, I will help you settle things off the court."

The tone of this sentence is a bit like that of a Los Angeles boss, and the domineering arrogance of the mountains and rivers is all in the words.

"Dude, you took advantage of weekends and holidays to unify the underground gangs in Los Angeles?" Lin Feng took a sip of coffee, then looked at Old Pa.

"I mean you just have to focus on the court and I'll do the rest."

Lin Feng was really moved by this sentence, he finally realized that he was a manager, not a blood-sucking bug.

It is reliable news that the Lakers management has already settled Tyson Chandler. The 36-year-old old boxing champion has a tacit agreement with the Suns to buy out. Joining the Lakers who lack insiders is simply a timely help for the team.

Suns general manager James Jones is Lao Zhan's former teammate, and the two have a close relationship. This time it can be regarded as blatantly sending warmth to the former teammate.

For the Lakers who lack insiders, this is undoubtedly a huge gain.Although Chandler is old, his defensive quality has not diminished. The No. 2001 pick in [-] is no joke.

It's good news for Lin Feng. In future games, he can enjoy high-quality pick-and-rolls, and he no longer has to worry about Comrade Big McGee turning the screen into a double-team. That experience is really unforgettable.

Old Pa was notified by the team almost immediately. With Lin Feng's rising status in the team, the team management also paid more attention to Lao Pa.

This time to introduce the old boxing champion, Pelinka notified three people in advance, the first is Rich Paul, the second is Billy Duff, and the third is Kiki Perkins.

As James' agent, Rich Paul has the priority of information in the team.The Lakers will communicate with him before introducing players, and then determine whether they match LeBron's tactical system.

Billy Duff is Rajon Rondo's agent. As the Celtics' champion, Rondo is highly respected in the league. The purpose of the Lakers' introduction of him is to help young people grow quickly, so give them some respect appears to be very important.

Notifying Kiki Perkins of this incident was unexpected. This is the meaning of the proprietress Jenny, who is infinitely optimistic about her 60th overall pick.

Lin Feng is currently only on a one-year rookie contract, and if he wants to trap him next summer, he must do something.

Three agents appeared in Pelinka's office at the same time. The first two had a lot of stars. Needless to say, Rich Paul was one of the best agents in the league.

Billy Duff also has potential stars such as Wiggins and Doncic.

The two of them have a lot of weight, and Lu Wei is the only one in Lao Pa's agency other than Lin Feng who can do it.

We met before, so Old Pa and Rich exchanged a few pleasantries.In fact, Rich tried to establish a business cooperation with Lao Pa, and he also saw that Lin Feng had a bright future, and planned to operate from it to maximize his benefits.

They are smart people.

Before leaving the cafe, Lao Pa told Lin Feng a bold idea. He planned to contact Lin Feng's senior at Syracuse University, Carmelo Anthony who is now without the ball to play.

"You want him to join the Lakers? It's difficult, because Anthony's style of play is contrary to the team. The Lakers want a fast offense, defensive strength and a three-point shooter. Anthony can neither contribute defensive strength nor have a stable three-pointer. Divide the shot."

"To be honest, I really want to play with Anthony, but he will not be the priority of the Lakers."

What Lin Feng said was very sincere, what he analyzed was the current situation.Carmelo Anthony's current situation is very embarrassing. Both the Thunder and the Rockets are teams that push speed, but once the ball reaches Anthony's hands, it will inevitably fall into singles.

After his tentative step was completed, the opponent had already waited in the defensive position for a long time.

Old Pa certainly knew this, "Cameron just resigned his agent, I just saw an opportunity. The team might as well gamble on Anthony if they keep Beasley who has no chance to play."

This is the truth, it is very difficult for Beasley to get a chance to play now. If the team really can't find a better candidate, they can try it on Anthony, and maybe something unexpected will happen.

Lin Feng clearly remembers that the Lakers in the previous life exchanged Beasley and Zubac for the Clippers' Muscala before the All-Star Game, which was once criticized by fans.

Looking at it now, the Lakers management may be brewing a small-scale change.
