Henry Thomas was very excited when he heard Zhang Hao's first half of the sentence, but the second half was completely beyond his expectations.

This freshman is preparing to cooperate with him, but not to become a player under his belt, but to cooperate in opening an agency!

"Mr. Thomas, what direction do you think the NBA will move in?

I think players will have a greater say. There is still a big difference between athletes and people in the entertainment industry. Do you think so?

In the past, players might have used their agents to recommend which team to play, and the agents will sell the players to sponsors.

But now, you should also find that sponsors are coming to the players to endorse the contract, and the times have changed.

I think the smartest way for an agent is to cooperate with players. Before others can do this, we can try it first? In the future, we can try to gain greater voice..."

Henry Thomas returned to his residence and thought about what Zhang Hao said to him. He felt that this rookie with only high school education and just a freshman was even harder to deal with than he thought... Who was selling himself? Originally, he went to Zhang Hao to promote himself as an agent, but in the end, he was actually promoted in turn.

"Starbucks is also fooled?"

Henry Thomas began to imagine the scene of being fooled by Starbucks...

He analyzed that his personality is real and has vision; then Zhang Hao's personality should be calm, logical and meticulous, eloquent, and confident!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhang Hao was saying it was very reasonable. He didn't expect that the player would intervene in the work of an agent, and he would never have thought of such a possibility.

But with this idea, he looked back at the development of the NBA over the past decade and was indeed moving in this direction. Although it is still far from that situation at present, it is indeed the case from the analysis of the development laws.

He had to slow down, otherwise he might call him to agree with an impulse. He had to calm down. He called his boss David Falcao and wanted to discuss with the other party...

On the other hand, Zhang Hao and Pelinka came to a restaurant for lunch.

Looking at Zhang Hao eating the clear soup, the light and tasteless chicken and duck meat, I wonder how Zhang Hao swallowed these things.

"Maybe I didn't get into the NBA because I'm not as self-disciplined as Aix..."

Pelinka thought that when she was in high school, she was also one of the top 10 high school students in Illinois, but she quickly fell behind when she arrived at college. She successfully became a lawyer after graduating from college two years ago.

In addition to Zhang Hao's efforts in players, what surprised Pelinka even more was that Zhang Hao didn't look like an 18-year-old boy off the court.

Just when Pelinka remembered the scene where Zhang Hao almost fooled Henry Thomas, she heard the voice of the boy sitting opposite him: "Robert, I heard you were also a high school basketball star in the past?"

Hearing this, Pelinka smiled bitterly and said, "I can't compare with you. My highest is only the top 10 in Illinois. You are the highest AAA-level talented high school student, and dozens of first-level league colleges are lined up for you to choose."

It was also a matter of queuing after Adidas training camp... Zhang Hao didn't talk about this. People's memories were always so strange. Many people completely forgot that he had no way to apply for college... Although not many people knew that he had no school to apply for college at that time, he was willing to give basketball scholarships...

"I think Robert, you should still love basketball? Since you can't become a professional player, why not change your approach?

I think you are too talented as a lawyer. You are obviously so concerned about the NBA. I think those professional agents are not as familiar with NBA rules and terms as well as you. Why don’t we cooperate and open an agency together?

If we don’t go crazy, we will soon grow old, and our lives will always be as short as summer flowers…”

Damn! It's fooling me!

But I have to say that Pelinka was moved...

Young people are always prone to rekindling their dreams.

But now Pelinka has a saying - brother, my buddy's lawyer's fee has not been paid yet!

...

...

"On September 2, 1995, I, Robert Pelinka, 24 years old, was fooled by an 18-year-old freshman NBA rookie..."

The next morning, after Pelinka got up, she wrote down her diary of yesterday, just like that.

He used to not write a diary, but now he is no longer a serious person.

Get started! Go to register for an agency!

But first of all, we have to contact Henry Thomas. Pelinka keenly felt the unusualness of this less famous agent. Since she wanted to open an agency, she had to dig up this old man.

A person who is realistic as a person, as long as he is always realistic during the cooperation period, whether it is pretending or real, it is true for his partners.

What gave Pelinka a headache was that the task was very difficult. He really couldn't have imagined that he was a 24-year-old young lawyer and Zhang Hao, an 18-year-old rookie who didn't even play in an NBA game. Just the two of them had the right to dig Henry Thomas.

Tell others about this task that others will think that the two young people are too arrogant.

But it's just arrogance, because they are all young people, and young people do business, isn't that the case?

To dig Henry Thomas, for them, it was purely a waste of money...

However, this feeling of making money from nothing made Pelinka very excited! They failed and did not lose at all. If they succeeded, they had a very good foundation. Henry Thomas, who had been in the brokerage industry for more than ten years, had connections that were not comparable to those of the two young people.

If the matter of poaching Henry Thomas failed, then Pelinka would not be planning to register a brokerage company for the time being. He discussed with Zhang Hao that he would become Zhang Hao's agent, work in a powerful brokerage company, learn how to be a broker, accumulate experience, and accumulate connections...

There is a radical route, but if the radical route fails, there is a safe route. Pelinka thinks Zhang Hao's arrangement is very good.

But he always felt something was wrong, as if he had forgotten something. He wanted to say it yesterday, but as he was chatting, he was forgotten by Zhang Hao.

But when Pelinka has the opportunity to do the work related to basketball again, she can't take care of so much, just as Zhang Hao said - if we don't go crazy, we will get old.

In the evening, Pelinka, who was ready for the meeting, met Henry Thomas again for dinner.

"That rookie is actually playing!"

When he received the call from Pelinka, Henry Thomas still felt incredible. He thought that the guy had just had a sudden idea, but he didn't expect that he would do it if he really thought about it.

Hearing Pelinka explaining the incomplete plan to build their company, Henry Thomas already knew what the other party wanted to talk about when he received the call, and felt that the other party was so brave... But it seemed that even if the other party failed, he would not lose anything. He felt that it was so good to be young.

Without agreeing or rejecting, Henry Thomas asked back: "Robert, do you think we can succeed? I have been in the process for so many years and have some capital to consume. Aix is ​​a player. He will always earn more than us and be invincible. But what about you? As far as I know, you have only graduated from college for two years, right? Although you have a certain reputation in the professional sports lawyer industry, I think you should not have much savings."

This knife is so cruel! Pelinka feels that his heart is hit by a critical blow.

But Henry Thomas said it was true that Pelinka was the weakest one.

However, Pelinka had already thought about this issue last night and said: "I have my advantages. I am younger than Henry. I do a lot of things. I don't have to consider face. I may make mistakes. Aix is ​​worthy of my bet, not because of his cooperation with Starbucks, but because he understands me and knows what I want to pursue. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, I know what's special about him.

Also, we have you, such an experienced and extensive connections.”

Henry Thomas smiled and nodded: "This is really a very hopeful combination..."

Praise or ridicule? Pelinka didn't hear it this time.

"I have a few players under my command now. If we set up an agency, as usual, I need to invest at least a quarter of my income. Robert, if you resign from a law firm, you should not have income? Aix worked with Starbucks, and he didn't know what year it was for him to get the money, and he shouldn't be invested in the company we set up. His rookie contract has been signed... Where do we get the money?"

Henry Thomas mentioned a very realistic problem, and the most realistic problem.

But speaking of this, Pelinka felt that there was a chance in her heart and said, "The expenses of the brokerage company should not be large, right? I have calculated that you should be taking out 50,000 yuan at present. I really have no money, but I think I have good lawyer skills. One of the biggest expenses of the brokerage company is lawyer fees. We don't need to consider it. Leave everything to me. The most important thing is that your 50,000 yuan is not the big part of the start-up capital!

Aix is ​​planning to take the commission of his rookie contract agent to the company as usual. Not only now, but also if we sign a new contract in the future, but also, if we can help him get the endorsement contract, he will take the commission according to the routine, but his part of the commission is the company's income.

His goal is not to establish an agency to reduce his expenses. Perhaps he is more ambitious than you and me...

But we want to build our agency, provided that, as you said, David Falcao allows you to go out and work alone."

Henry Thomas was indeed an accident. Last night, he discussed with David Falcao about the topic of Zhang Hao's "The future players are the masters." He did not expect that Zhang Hao would take the initiative to propose that he would take the commission according to the routine.

David Falcao has been declining in recent years, so he plans to make another profit and retire. Henry Thomas, as a close friend and early partner of David Falcao, learned the news in advance. He originally intended to be used as a bargaining chip to promote himself to Zhang Hao. Nowadays, any agent who has cleared his relationship with David Falcao is quite popular with players, but he did not expect that Zhang Hao didn't care about this at all.

Since they are all going to work, Henry Thomas thought about it and worked alone, working with a free lawyer and an NBA player who is willing to pay start-up funds is not much better than working alone?

Resolved, Henry Thomas said to Pelinka: "I think you have to prepare the information and partner contract for registering the agency as soon as possible..."
