"Zheng Ke broke out, the Timberwolves beat the Pacers at home! "

"The Pacers defeated Minnesota, the Chinese teenager performed well! "

"The Timberwolves have seven players in double figures, Lectra beat the Pacers at home! "

Although it was not a key competition, Zheng Ke's outstanding performance still caused the media to rush to report after the game. Of course, the Chinese media must be the most active.

All the news of the Timberwolves team has also become a separate section listed on some Chinese websites, ranking after the Rockets and Bucks.

Zheng Ke's fame is growing day by day, and at the same time, Taylor's new song is also booming.

"Love Story", a brisk country music song, has won the love of the public. With the outstanding publicity work in the early stage, its online click rate and download volume have skyrocketed, and it has begun to appear on the major music charts of American music .

Zheng Ke made 14 of 7 shots, 5 of 3 three-pointers, and 6 of 4 free throws. He scored 21 points and scored [-] points in two consecutive games. It is his personal explosion.
At this time, Zheng Ke and Qin Yue terminated the contract, and he informed the team that he had terminated the original agent's contract!Immediately afterward, news broke out within the team, which caused quite a shock in the current NBA agent circle
Who is Zheng Ke?

Zheng Ke is one of the most promising players among the new generation of NBA players. How high is his potential?The famous basketball commentator Barkley described Zheng Ke in this sentence: "He is one of the most talented players I have ever seen. I believe he will become an All-Star player within five years!" Of course, Barkley's big His mouth is famous, and his words are not very reliable, but Zheng Ke's excellence is obvious to all.

Yao Ming's success in the NBA has allowed countless team owners and agents to understand how huge China's market with a population of 13 billion is. If Zheng Ke is signed and Zheng Ke can reach Yao Ming's height, then it is equivalent to making a profitable transaction!Who doesn't do such a good thing?

However, Zheng Ke still underestimated his own attractiveness. Not long after he announced the termination of the contract with Qin Yue, he had already received invitations from many agents.
"Sister Yue, you have caused me misery!" Zheng Ke greeted Qin Yue with a wry smile.

Qin Yue was dressed in broken leaves and flowers, and a white woolen hat on her head, which made her melon-seeded face extraordinarily cute. With a book in her hand, she stood in front of Zheng Ke, and heard that Zheng Ke was there He vomited bitterly, with a smug smile on his face.

Qin Yue said coquettishly: "Who asked you to tell the team? After the season is over, don't you have a lot of time to deal with it!"

Zheng Ke said helplessly: "I don't know, I just talked to Randy (the head coach), who knows that everyone in the world knows about him, now it's better, I don't know how many people on the Internet called me ungrateful"

"Ingratitude?" Qin Yue asked in bewilderment.

"Hey," Zheng Ke got angry when he thought about it, he shook his head and said, "Those people thought I fired you after I became famous. In their view, is this an ungrateful thing?"

"Hehehehe." Qin Yue laughed so hard that she bent over, and said, "Why do these people have such associations? Then why don't you explain it?"

"Forget it, let them talk about it. Anyway, you said that the most important thing for a player is his performance on the court." Zheng Ke waved his hand and said indifferently: "By the way, let's go, Mr. Jeff can not wait anymore!"

Inside a classic cafe in Minneapolis.

This is an old-fashioned coffee shop with a history of more than ten years. Although Zheng Ke has lived in this city for more than half a year, he has never been to this coffee shop.Of course, he doesn't like to drink coffee, he doesn't like to sit there elegantly and pretend to be a gentleman, in fact, he prefers to drink plain water, he likes to read, read newspapers, and read novels.
The store adopts a western classical style of decoration. The walls are covered with uneven black tiles, and the floor is a dark floor. The afternoon sunlight is difficult to climb in through the peripheral glass.At a small table on the right side of the store, Zheng Ke met the protagonist who was going to meet on this trip.

Jeff Schwartz!

Jeff Schwartz is the gold medal agent in the NBA.There are many players under his command, the most famous active players are Kidd, Lamar Odom and Tyson Chandler.In the circle of economic people, he is famous for his righteousness. He once acted as a peacemaker in Kidd's family civil war, and helped Odom get rid of drugs successfully. Therefore, Kidd, Odom and others have publicly stated that Jeff Be their best friend!

Of course, he is not omnipotent. In terms of the operation of overseas players, Jeff Schwartz was very unsuccessful.
In the past two days, so many agents have contacted Zheng Ke, but most of them are unknown and incompetent agents. Jeff Schwartz came to Minneapolis to find him in person today, which really made him happy Once.Although Zheng Ke didn't pay attention to this business, he still knew Jeff Schwartz's name, which made him very panic. He was both happy and afraid that he would mess things up. Fortunately, Jeff invited Zheng Ke and Qin Yue Together, it seems that he really understands the relationship between Zheng Ke and Qin Yue, and he came prepared
Jeff Schwartz saw a tall, yellow-skinned young man walking towards him with a beautiful oriental girl. Knowing all the heroes in the NBA, he certainly knew who it was. He quickly stood up and stretched himself out. hand
"Zheng, nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you! Mr. Schwartz!" Zheng Ke hurriedly stepped forward and held Jeff Schwartz's palm
Schwartz is indeed a good talker. The three sat and chatted together. It didn't take long before they gradually became familiar with each other. Schwartz also put forward the purpose of his trip in a timely manner, and took out the good contract.

Qin Yue took over Schwartz's contract, and the two of them got together to study the contract carefully, and Schwartz also hurriedly promoted himself
"You know, Zheng, I have been playing in the NBA for many years, many, many years, I have thoroughly understood every rule in it, I have fully understood the rules of the game in the NBA, so, I think I have Ability to be your new agent!"

There is nothing wrong with the contract. According to the rules of the NBA, the agent can take 20.00% or less of the income from the player's contract, and can get about [-]% of the income from the player's advertising contract. These two points are written in the contract. It's very clear.

Qin Yue was afraid that Zheng Ke would answer indiscriminately, so she quickly took Zheng Ke's right to speak, and said first: "Mr. Schwartz, I know that you are an agent with a lot of energy in the NBA, and you are also an agent in the NBA. Well-known in the circle, but”

"But what?" Schwartz's heart was itching because of Qin Yue's impossibility, he hurriedly asked Qin Yue.

"But you have too many players, even Kidd and other big-name players. I think if Zheng Ke signed to your name, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get your greatest support"

"No!" Schwartz was taken aback by Qin Yue's argument, he quickly looked at Zheng Ke, seeing Zheng Ke's thoughtful look, Schwartz quickly waved his hand and said: "No Yes! Zheng is a player I am very optimistic about, unlike other players who have matured, if I sign Zheng, the focus of my future work must be on Zheng!"

Qin Yue smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Schwartz, I'm just talking casually. Don't take offense! In fact, Zheng Ke of our family is very interested in your opinions, but you know, after all, Zheng Ke It’s a foreigner, I saw reports earlier, it said that your operation and operation of overseas players is not very appropriate, what do you think?”

Sweat gradually broke out on Schwartz's forehead. This little girl spoke too loudly, one set after another, it was impossible to guard against!Schwartz thought for a while and said: "You know, these reports are always a bit exaggerated, just like they said that Mr. Zheng fired Ms. Qin, saying that Mr. Zheng was not satisfied with Ms. Qin's operation, but now look Come on, it seems a bit unreal, doesn't it?"

"Eh~~" Qin Yue didn't expect that this old man could turn against the army, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, which was interesting.

Schwartz slowed down the topic, took a sip of coffee, and continued: "I admit that I don't know much about the laws and customs of various countries, because after all, I am not an expert in this field. The reason why he did not do well enough. But Zheng Ke is different! Zheng Ke attended an American university, he is very young, he speaks English very well, and he has no problem communicating with players and coaches, so Zheng Ke cannot be regarded as a complete Overseas players, he is no different from the average college student in the United States!"

Qin Yue also imitated Schwartz and took a sip of coffee. Zheng Ke couldn't help but look at the funny look. She retorted: "But you don't know China at all. Although Zheng Ke has gained a firm foothold in the NBA , but he has a lot of pressure from China, which you have never understood, and you are not very clear about their movements in the Chinese media, are you?"

Schwartz was silent. He did not have a systematic and in-depth understanding of China, and he couldn't help but reflect on himself.If I am Zheng Ke's agent, and Zheng Ke wants to develop in his own country, then with my own ability, can I do my best?Can he be as successful as Yao Ming's agent Bill Duffy?
"I can definitely do it!"

Schwartz looked up, a confident gleam in his eyes.

Zheng Ke and Qin Yue looked at him in surprise.

Schwartz said: "I am a top agent. Although I don't know China very well, I can learn and I am willing to learn. Bill Duffy can do it, so can I. I There are still many advantages that Bill Duffy does not have, I hope Mr. Zheng can give me a chance, let us work together!"

Zheng Ke turned his head to look at Qin Yue, who nodded to him.

"Okay, Jeff!" Zheng Ke stretched out his big hand, "I like your confidence, happy cooperation!"

Seeing that Zheng Ke was finally settled, Schwartz couldn't help showing a happy smile: "Choosing me is your only choice!"
