Chapter 95 The demeanor of a boss

Just like every tiger has its own exclusive territory, every agent who is involved in the basketball circle also has his own territory. When someone decides to sign a certain player, others rarely intervene. After all, they are all making a living in this circle, so there is no need to be too stale with their peers.

NBA's current broker system is fully mature and has its own conventional rules. Even if some things are not explained clearly, most people will consciously abide by them and do not easily overcome them.

This circle also has its own world, there are big men who respond to it, and there are also horsemen who work hard to make a living. Although the levels are different, most of them can defend their own acre of land.

However, there are occasionally people who break the rules, such as Pelinka, who was once under Telham. At that time, Telham trusted this apprentice enough, so he handed Kobe, Boozer, Mageti and others to Pelinka for treatment. However, in the end, this apprentice played with the master to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot in the summer of 2005.

Basically, Taylor's top customers were beaten by Pelinka, which was considered a heavy loss.

Andy Miller was also despised by many agents for his anti-bone betrayal of his old boss.

But there are still a few such people. Although it seems that the big-name agents have no connection between them, in fact, these people have divided the NBA into an extremely precise sphere of influence. Few people will take the initiative to go beyond the line unless someone particularly likes to cause trouble for others.

Of course, that is equivalent to directly provoking the other party, especially when you reach out to the other party's pocket, the counterattack will also be very fierce, which is not something that can be simply summarized in ordinary business wars.

The conventional rules of the world allow them to act in their own way within their own sphere of influence and not violate each other.

So when David Falke said in front of Feigan that he was about to sign Chen Feng, this was sending a very clear signal to Feigan, "The boy you like is mine now. Don't touch him anymore, otherwise, I don't guarantee something will happen."

Not to mention the great reputation that Falk made in the league, just by looking at Takanian's attitude towards the two, he could understand that his trip to Las Vegas was in vain. It was basically impossible to grab Chen Feng's agency rights. Not to mention Falk, even Takanian was not happy.

Unless you can convince Chen Feng immediately, the difficulty seems to be more difficult than dealing with Falke.

Feigan seemed rather a bachelor, and saw that things had no room for reversal, and could still leave Takanian's office with a smile.

At least in front of David Falke, Fagan cannot lose his demeanor after losing his clients.

"That guy actually has very good skills, but that wild boy can't suffer any loss even if he follows him."

After Feigan left, Falk curled his lips and commented casually about the famous agents who are now ranked among the top NBA.

However, if Feigan was here, he might feel uncomfortable, but he would not refute anything. After all, compared with Falke, his wrists are completely inferior to the no.1 they used to be.

"To be honest, David, I really didn't expect you to come here in person. I thought you guy was really ready to retire from this circle. When Bauman called me back yesterday, I was thinking about whether he would take over the contract for Chen Feng. I was also worried that if that kid came, he would be scared away by Fagan and Bill. After all, he is no match for these old guys."

When only Takanian and Falke were left in the office, the direct conversation between the two old men seemed much more relaxed, and Falke did not have the strong feeling when facing Fagan.

"Don't underestimate that guy Bauman. He is much more famous in the Seihei than me. Those former South-South stars trust him. However, compared with the relationship between Europe, he is still a little weaker in the local area. The main reason is that this guy has few local stars who can show off."

"Just as you said, although I brought him up, he still looked a little tender when fighting with Bill Duffy and Fagan. There is no way, you speak, I can only pay attention to that boy myself, who made us old friends? It's been thirty years, this is your first time."

When Falke talked about other colleagues, his expression had not changed at all. He was as confident as before, or rather, he seemed very domineering.

However, this guy does have this kind of confidence. He can mediate the super pusher of both sides in the last labor-management negotiation. Can he be an ordinary person?

If Stein knew that such a big devil in the circle of agents was back, he would probably have a headache. After all, he had not fought with Falke once or twice.

There was a saying in the NBA that outside of Stein, Falke is the ruler, holding nearly 80 players under his command, and he can leverage the transactions in the transfer market with his own strength.

Even if this old guy has retired for almost a year, no one of those latecomers can surpass him.

Falke can be regarded as a legendary figure in the circle of agents. It is unprecedentedly certain that as for whether he can be a future generation, no one can be stronger than him anyway.

It is not something that anyone dares to do to slap the table and curse at any team manager. Now, except Falke, others really don’t have the confidence.

"I thought you would travel around the world with your family after you quit SFX's CEO, and you wouldn't be in the muddy waters of this circle again."

Although Falk personally agreed to sign Chen Feng, Takanian was still a little worried. For the sake of that kid, he could only try his best to determine everything, after all, it was related to the kid's future.

"I resigned because there aren't many players worth my stay. You know, since Mike and Ewing and others retired, no one is worth my continued efforts."

"When you experience the feeling of peak, it's easy to appear more empty after falling down. Just like when you led the NCAA championship with Unlv, it would be boring to be the second place. When those guys left the league, I thought there was no need to continue, so I quit."

"You know, I've made enough money. As you said, I actually wanted to relax."

When Falke said these words, he paused a little, as if he recalled his most glorious moment, the 20 years that belonged to him, and the madness of an agent changing his salary structure.

"Okay, David, don't show off your past achievements in front of me. Everyone knows that the annual salary of your signed players can exceed 800 million at the highest, but those things have nothing to do with me, the old guy. I haven't made a dollar from you. You have never been my economic man."

"I don't have as much assets as you have. I remember you donated $15 million to your alma mater last week. Now I really want to change your school registration and let you contribute some donations to Nevada, otherwise your money will be thrown into the investment bank and become moldy."

Tacanian knew this old friend's past very well. He always sniffed at the practice of showing off in front of him when he was fine, and even felt a little disgusted. He had to be a person who loved to show off! Only then could he show off how rich he was when he was fine!

"Hey, can't you, old guy, let me recall my glorious moment?"

Falk slapped the table in dissatisfaction, but soon he lost in Tacaniana's eyes that were about to eat people.

"You guy, you should be able to tell me what you think now, otherwise I wouldn't worry about throwing that kid into your hands. Don't forget that I can still have some influence in him."

Although he is friends with Falke, it is better to explain some things first, so as to save trouble in the future. At least, Tarcanian doesn't want Chen Feng to suffer any losses in this matter.

If Falk had just a whim, then Takanian would definitely let him get out immediately.

"Just like the reason why you, the old guy, can step into ncaa again, I've watched that kid's game twice, and I found that he had something exciting about him, just like when I first saw Mike."

Falk spread his hands and signaled that he was not joking. He also took out a few sheets of printing paper, which were all statistics about Chen Feng's recent games. Those professional things are not something that anyone can do, such as offensive efficiency and defensive efficiency, including Chen Feng's forward-looking predictions in all aspects.

"When I chose to resign, they all said that I offended too many people and finally got out helplessly. Actually, I really want to tell those guys that I have never been afraid of anyone since the day I entered the league. If I were afraid, I wouldn't have done that. But after experiencing a peak, I was no longer used to continuing to climb up from the trough, and not many novices could make me feel excited, and that kind of motivation completely disappeared from me."

"But this kid is different. The fierceness in his bones is no different from when Mike entered the league. It seems that all those who try to stop him from succeeding will eventually be torn to pieces."

"I like this kind of motivation. It can make people improve continuously, so Mike can win six championships and become a god in the basketball world. This kid also has the temperament of not bowing to anyone."

"You know my habits. Either if you don't sign or sign, you must be worth the money. At least you can't let someone smash my signature. I believe this kid will succeed, and it's definitely not the kind of success in the general sense. Jerry, he will definitely make the league tremble, I promise you this."

Falke definitely has this kind of confidence to be proud of. Among the players he has signed, there are many superstars.

And what he likes is definitely not mediocre. At least in Falke's opinion, Chen Feng has the ability to do better.

"You are really optimistic about that guy. You know that he is just a rookie now. Not everyone can be optimistic about this guy like you. Some people even said that he might become a new meteor."

Of course, Takanian always treats that nonsense with ignorance. This is the case in this world. You can't satisfy everyone, so don't try to conquer everyone with perfect performance.

Gang Qiao was so awesome at the time, and there were countless media chattering behind him endlessly.

"Of course, if I don't like him, I won't be planning to sign him. And I will do it alone. After listening to my old friend, what I said is that I will handle everything about this kid, and others will not get involved. From the advertisement to the future contract, I will be responsible for this kid."

When Falk said this to Takanian, his expression was no longer as casual as he had just entered the door, but seemed very serious. He did this as if he was making a promise to his old friend.

Most people on Earth know about the last NBA star who can let Falk operate his career alone.

"Okay, David, I can't stand your eagle-like look, but you have enough reasons. That kid will probably accept an agent like you. He is just as tough as you."

"I hope everything goes well with your two cooperation. That kid is a little worried." Finally finalized the agent for Chen Feng. Tacanian breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had to remind his old friend that Chen Feng's wild boy is not so easy to take care of, and he is definitely a troublemaker.

"Hey, old friend, don't you feel that there are too many good babies in the league now? You can be called a personality player if you just put your middle finger at someone. It's so boring. I really hope this kid can be more wild. You know, Mike has never been a gentleman on the court, all we want is victory."

Taganian has seen through it now. The people who can gather around Chen Feng cannot be too mentally ill, otherwise you will feel that you have a problem. Only a crazy enough guy can adapt to this wild boy.

But now Takanian is not worried about Falk's ability. As long as this old guy thinks, he can solve a lot of trouble. There is such a skilled guy to protect Chen Feng.

This finally solved Takanian's concern, and what Falk had to consider was how to fight for greater benefits for his agents.

Although he doesn't care about the little profit drawn on the commission, if he messed up, it would ruin his golden sign. But now thinking about this somewhat challenging star-making star, Falk is a little excited.

But Chen Feng is still at a loss for all this happening in Las Vegas. He is currently sitting on a plane to Philadelphia.

Waiting for him and the Celtics is another strong team in the same district, Philadelphia 76ers.

Getting done with Philadelphia and continuing a winning streak is what the Celtics think now.

As for Chen Feng, he just wants to play more games. After experiencing the duel between Stoudemire and Rashid, he is increasingly eager to compete with those masters.

One general's success is tiring, and only by stepping on those guys' shoulders can he continue to succeed.

Chen Feng is quite that general, and he doesn't want to be those bones...
