Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 158 Potential stocks!
After Yuan Qingshan returned to the hotel, he found a quiet place in the lobby, ordered a cup of coffee, and then called out the system screen to browse the information of major brokerage companies.

At present, there are about ten large-scale brokerage companies involved in the NBA field. Coincidentally, more than half of them are headquartered in Los Angeles.

It can be seen that the attractiveness of Los Angeles is high.

For comparison, the largest one is CAA, with a total contract value of 85 billion US dollars, which can be called a behemoth among brokerage companies.

Businesses include film, television, music, drama, sports, video games, the Internet, and many other fields. The sports involved include American football, baseball, and basketball.

Yuan Qingshan asked Gakki to sort out some historical materials when the company was founded.

After seeing the development process of CAA, Yuan Qingshan became more determined in his idea of ​​putting the first brick of business empire in the brokerage company sector.

In 1975, five ordinary young men registered and founded CAA in partnership. At that time, they could only rent an office from a friend and tried to buy all the office equipment with 200 US dollars.

Forty years later, CAA has now moved into Los Angeles' posh Century City and owns eight floors of the futuristic 40-story tower, generating nearly $12 million in annual profits.

CAA signed all the elites in various fields, such as Sarah Brightman, Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber, and Bob Dylan.

There are many achievements in sports, including NFL legendary quarterback Manning, MLB MVP Kitt, as well as Beckham, Ronaldo, Chris Paul and so on.

Planning Beckham to go to Los Angeles Galaxy, operating Ronaldo and Mourinho to switch to La Liga giants Real Madrid, and bringing the three aces LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade together in Miami.

Yuan Qingshan took a sip of coffee and said with emotion: "It's really a history of hard work!"

Gakki doesn't quite understand the spirit of struggle shown in this, but in terms of development history and operation trajectory, she is very sure of CAA. This company always makes the right choice at the most critical point in time.

"Gakki, what do you think of us starting an agency? An agency like CAA."

Gakki tilted his head slightly and thought for a while: "A large part of CAA's success is due to being ahead of the times. At present, star signings in various fields are concentrated, and brokerage companies have survived the survival of the fittest. The rest are basically aircraft carriers in fields that are difficult to shake. It is very difficult to catch up from behind."

Yuan Qingshan nodded. That is indeed the case. If they set up a company now, the only ones they can offer are the new No. [-] pick Towns, Whiteside, who is the starting player of the Lakers, and himself.

If a new company wants to emerge suddenly, it must have vision and invest in potential stocks.

Speaking of potential stocks, Yuan Qingshan had an idea, took out his mobile phone, and opened the 2015 rookie chat group.

"Do you want to sign a contract with a brokerage company?"

The message was sent out for several minutes with no response.

It is estimated that these guys are busy with training. Of course, there are also slobs like Lyles who are busy sleeping.

The news flashed out, and Lyles was the first to reply: "Really, I want to sign a contract, I want to sign a contract!"

Yuan Qingshan smiled and shook his head. This carefree guy really doesn't care about anything. It's been a month since the match started, and he hasn't really signed an agency yet. Like Whiteside, he probably entrusted him to a separate agent.

Russell was the second to reply: "Help me, Minnesota is too cold!"

Yuan Qingshan said in his heart, cold?How many months has it been?

Winslow: "I'll tell if I can win tonight!"

It's really Winslow's usual style. He was originally simple and honest, but he always wanted to play cool.

Russell: "Kick it out!"

Winslow: "Bored, come to Miami and let me blow you up!"

Russell stopped talking, Yuan Qingshan estimated that he was looking for a suitable emoji.

God, these guys are going to fight again.

Towns: "Winslow is too crazy, he has the guts to counter me!"

Whiteside: "Full support for Karl-Anthony Towns!"

Cough cough, Yuan Qingshan was so lucky that he didn't choke on the coffee in his mouth.

Downs deliberately sent an emoji to Winslow: "It hurts you!"

At this time, Russell's emoji came late, and this guy actually made a funny gesture. Downs thought he was making fun of him, and took out a knife.

Yuan Qingshan automatically filtered out the nonsense of these guys, thinking about the existing people who could be tapped.

The Utah Jazz starting small forward Lyles, the Timberwolves backup point guard Russell, and the Miami Heat backup swingman Winslow who may be in demand.

"Gakki, can I check other people's potential value?"

Among these people are Yuan Qingshan’s former teammates and opponents. Yuan Qingshan still has some understanding of their strength. Their current positions in the team are too affected by the team’s lineup and cannot represent their true positioning in the league.

So Yuan Qingshan wanted to use the data to judge their future development potential.

Gakki: "Of course, it's just more expensive. You have to pay double the points for the healing capsules. You are already in debt. Are you sure you want to continue borrowing?"

Yuan Qingshan said with certainty: "Check the potential value of Russell, Lyles and Winslow."

"Russell has 82 potential, Lyles has 73 potential, and Winslow has 76 potential."

As expected, Russell does have great potential. In comparison, Lyles and Winslow are slightly worse, which is why they are not as high as Russell in the draft.

However, Lyles and Winslow are also at the upper-middle level. They are the kind of players who will be needed by the team at any time. They will definitely not lose money if they sign them, and they can be regarded as long-term investments.

When Yuan Qingshan was thinking, the phone screen flickered, and someone sent a message in the 2015 chat group.

Devin Booker: "Not yet signed."

Yuan Qingshan's eyes lit up: "Check Devin Booker's potential value."

"Devin Booker's potential is 90."

90?so high?
If you can sign Devin Booker now, it is tantamount to a steady investment, and it is a bit of a bargain.

The brokerage company is currently in its infancy, just when it is time to look for potential stocks, unexpectedly there is one around, it is really easy to get here, thinking of this, Yuan Qingshan couldn't help laughing out loud.
