Chapter 94 This is NO.1

"Hey, Dan, I didn't expect you to come to Las Vegas." Takanian looked at the guy sitting in front of him and greeted him politely, but from his expression, it could be seen that he was not very interested, but he had always been like this to others except with those wild guys.

Otherwise, Takanienian would not have been angry in the NCAA. The old man's temper is really stubborn, and the person who can mix with him has long been used to his stone-like personality.

"Jeri, I want to see what kind of shock you, the NCAA shark, will bring to this league. I watched your game the other day. It's a group of talented kids, very strong."

"I bet that you will definitely reach the top 16 in the new season this time, or even go further."

"I can bet a hundred dollars for this. I believe it's easy to find a betting station in Las Vegas. I think you and your UNLV will not let me lose this hundred dollars."

The middle-aged white man sitting in Takanian seems to be the kind of professional who is naturally good at talking to others. He can always find the door to open the deadlock, and the topic can also make the other party comfortable.

Talk to a basketball coach about his team and praise it in an inadvertent tone. This may be the beginning of the most comfortable conversation. At least it will not cause the other party's disgust, which is good for the subsequent conversation.

This is a merchant's instinctive talent. Even Takanien has to admit that there is absolutely no reason for the guy in front of him to be successful in the NBA. He can help those players with so many big contracts smoothly. It is also by this kind of extraordinary communication ability that he can get around in the league.

"Dan, don't hit my wild kids' idea now. UNLV is going to revive its style now. Don't let those guys enter the professional basketball circle so early, otherwise Kevin will find you to play with his life. Those little guys are all trained by him, and I just found them out."

It is pointless to talk about any tradition with a pure businessman, but Takani doesn't want to see his hard-won team. In less than a year, it was dismantled again.

Those little guys are a group of potential stocks that have been finalized by him and Ryan for more than half of the United States in the past few months, looking forward to reshaping the glory of UNLV and waiting for these guys to create.

What's more, this is because of the substitute plan proposed by the melancholy Kevin after Chen Feng entered the NBA.

If Chen Feng had been here, it is estimated that Kevin would have been interested in preparing a more fierce plan, and it is estimated that he could set the goal of the new season to compete for the top eight of the NCAA.

However, thanks to Chen Feng's recent strong performance, many reports have begun to revisit Takani's past, which also saves them a lot of saliva when seducing rookies.

And the one in front of me obviously often digs other people's walls like this. Although it is rare for people to grasp the actual handle, everyone knows that no one is willing to break through that layer of window paper.

"Jery, don't think of me as an evil slave owner. I'm just helping those talented children get a good contract, but I'm more interested in this boy than those college students."

The man named Dan pushed a Boston Globe in front of Takanian. It was just an enlarged version of the game. Of course, the protagonist may be the most familiar one Takanian.

Takanian didn't read what he wrote in that newspaper. It was the news he had read for a long time.

The game against the Suns was originally a classic battle of Chen Feng. As the coach of that boy, how could he not pay attention to such a report. It was because of this report that Chen Feng became the target of the person in front of him, not only him, but also the target of a group of people.

"Dan, I've read the fax you sent, but I can't make a decision for that boy. This is a problem that Chen Feng needs to consider. If you can convince him, I don't mind you going to talk to him about your ideas. I know you have completed a lot of big contracts, but the final decision is that boy."

Takanian looked at the guy in front of him and said seriously, but now he is a little worried about scolding him at this moment, because Chen Feng, the shameless bastard, had already made up his mind to be a shopkeeper when he called, and he didn't want to care about it at all.

When he met the agents who tried to contact him, he said, "Takanian is my agent now, so I need his approval."

That meaning is actually obvious, that is, to tell those people that you can deal with Takanian first and then talk to me. If there is an old man who nod after the check, Chen Feng can rest assured.

"Damn, boy, I'm not afraid that I'll sell you!" Takanian almost didn't shout when he received Chen Feng's phone call. He found that if Chen Feng played a scoundrel, he was really a little puzzled.

"It's okay. I don't worry. Besides, even if it is sold, it can be sold at a good price. There is an old Chinese saying that people are old and smooth. You won't let me suffer losses. I believe you, a teacher."

Takanien is completely helpless about a wild boy like Chen Feng, because the boy seems to have been right about himself. He may not believe anyone, but he will be absolutely assured of the people he trust.

This is a kind of trust and a responsibility, so in the face of the famous middle-aged white man in the NBA agent circle, Takanian did not let go. After all, he didn't like the other party's means.

And before this guy came, Takanian had already risked his old face and made a phone call that he hadn't dialed for a long time. Maybe for Chen Feng's wild boy, Takanian was indeed a little too favored.

When Larry Johnson knew about this, he couldn't help complaining, "Head, you're a little too used to that boy. You've never been here because of me!"

Do you prefer it? Maybe, but Takanian originally planned to be a shopkeeper. Anyway, the boy has been sent to the NBA by himself.

But the first scene was the scene of the boy waving his fist excitedly after the game, which impressed Takanien.

At the beginning, I may have wanted to let others remember that there is a fierce old shark in the NCAA, and he is not dead yet.

But from that moment on, Takanien found that what the boy brought to him was an impulse to return to the basketball court.

So in the past few months, he began to rebuild the UNLV team lineup for Kevin without hesitation.

This is also a young maniac. This old shark is ready to move again. For those NCAA teams, this is definitely not good news.

Now when he is fine, Takanian will always remember that morning when a wild boy stood outside his door gasping for breath, grinning with his bare arms.

And after the game, he put his arm on his shoulder and said to others, "This is my teacher!" A moment.

Perhaps because of these clips, Takanian prefers the wild boy picked up from the street.

But the guy in front of him is not here to experience this. Takanian can smell the smell of profit from him, which is a smell from the bones of a businessman.

Now the middle-aged white man sitting opposite him seems to be defending himself with a smile on his face.

"Jery, I know what you are thinking about. I just use reasonable means to fight for the interests of my clients. The team is also a profit-seeking machine. I'm just competing with them for the remuneration that some players deserve, but some people think that my methods may be a little clever, or It's taking advantage of the rules, but that's the law and rules, isn't it?"

"But I have to defend myself that players play for a higher income, just like Marion. If the Suns pay tens of millions of contracts for him, they will definitely not be willing, but I will find reasons to convince them in various ways, including some unconventional means, but I am serving the interests of the players, so Marion also got the annual salary he wanted, and the Suns also retained the core main force.

"This is a win-win situation. I often go for this goal, but sometimes I can't get what I want. Maybe Dan Fagan's reputation is very average, but you can't deny that I earn more for the players. Of course, I will earn more for them, and my income will be more. I Don't hide it, because I'm a businessman, and economic interests are the original driving force.

Dan Fagan, I guess no one has thought that a boss who can enter the top five in the NBA agent rankings will specifically find Takanian for a wild boy who has just become famous in the NBA.

"Dan, you fight for benefits and more income. That's your principle of doing things, but what I see is different from the way you do things. What you want is a big contract. What do you like? Maybe I don't need to say more. His nationality is probably your target, and I have heard that next year's country will There is a big man who participates in the draft. You have communicated in private. You will be his American agent. I think you are not plotting a big contract, but more business cooperation with that field. Chen Feng and he are your stepping stone. They are more like a tool for you.

Takanian's words changed Feigan's face. The private communication is originally a secret. It can't be put out for people to see, but in the face of an old fox, it is really difficult for you to keep it a secret.

After all, Takanienian's connections in this circle are indeed a little confusing. Although he can't do it in the NBA, he can always smell the news in secret.

Fagan wanted to try to say something, but Takanian didn't give him the opportunity, so he continued.

"Dan, maybe you will provide Chen Feng with a good contract. I believe your ability can handle it. In particular, this boy is a non-guaranteed contract. You can always find some ways to give Angie a headache, and you may do it after this season, but this is not what the boy needs now. Many people may like the money, but what Chen Feng needs now is stability.

"He still needs to learn a lot. He also needs to understand how to survive in this league. Who can give him a stable development environment is what I need to consider most. But you, what you pursue must be an interest. He is just like your other customers. It is a tool for you to seek benefits. If he can't get it out, you will turn around and leave. You won't care about his life or death. Don't be in a hurry to deny this, because this is the agent's habit. I understand. It's very realistic, but it's understandable. I also understand. These."

"Dan, there are six faxes here. Many guys like you, including Bill Duffy, are staring at that boy, but until this second, I didn't respond to any of them. Do you know why?" Takanian pointed to the faxes on the table and suddenly asked Fagan, his The expression is not like a joke, but very seriously asking Feigan to think about it.

"Jery, I didn't expect these guys to start so fast. I can't answer your question, but I think you can give me a satisfactory answer. Although there are so many competitors, I'm not the kind of person who is easy to give up. There are so many people who like that boy, which proves that I have a good vision. Everyone They all think that he is a potential stock, a good seedling, and can have better development space, so I will fly here from New York and sit in your office to talk to you about him.

When Fagan saw that another group of people were aiming at Chen Feng, he was not in a hurry. Now he just wanted to hear what Takanian would say. He didn't believe that so many top agents could not handle a novice.

"Both you and Bill can't suppress the wild boy. You may not have touched him, so this boy's ruffianity is not something you can handle. Including me, but he respects me very much, and I'm not his agent, so I don't have to worry about anything. He is difficult to control. Bill is very amiable. You are used to using interests to ** your customers, but I promise that the boy can't be defeated by your move, so I must find him a tough guy. Even if I can't suppress the wild boy, I can give him a very strong help.

"Dan, I don't deny that you and Bill are now the best agents in the NBA, but you are not strong enough compared with that guy. At least, you don't have the courage to point to Stein's nose and challenge him, but that guy dares. He gives many people a headache, including Stein."

When Fagan heard Takanian say this, his smiling face became unnatural, and his eyebrows frowned slightly. He seemed to know who Takanian was talking about.

"Hey, Jerry, why do you always like to speak ill of me behind my back? Is that how you treat your old friend?" A white uncle with a bare head pushed open the door of the office.

The moment he walked in, Feigan knew that the trip he took seemed to be a little white.

Because this guy in front of him is the well-deserved NO.1 in the agent's business. Although he is semi-retired, everyone knows that the aftertwill and legends he left will last for a long time.

"Hello, Dan, you have done a good job in the past few transactions. I heard that you have also dealt with the big Chinese man who will participate in the draft next year. It seems that you are going to shape an Asian genius after Yao Ming."

The bald white man who just entered the door looks much older than Fagan. Standing with Takanian, he can't show how young he can be, but his eyes are as sharp as a falcon.

"Hi, David, I didn't expect you to come, so... are you also for this boy?"

At this moment, Feigan's speech is no longer as relaxed as he did at the beginning, and even felt a little depressed.

But he has met face to face, and he has no reason to give in, and the one in front of him has been semi-retired since 2005, and is no longer as invincible as before.

However, the prestige of the past still makes Feigan unable to relax too much, but the other party has vaguely point out his intentions. It's better to let go of talking to the other party. Maybe there is still a chance.

"Oh, you mean this boy? Jerry talked to me. I've been thinking about it for a day. Now, I can walk into this office, which proves that I have thought about it. I can't refute my old friend's request.

In fact, when Takanien saw this bald white old man come in, he knew that if he had not made a decision, he would never appear here. Now he was just listening to him say it himself. Such a simple answer made Feigan's face look very ugly in an instant.

He understands that the person in front of him has always been the same, and this person has never talked about any face in the agent circle. The players he signed will never be dug out. Even Fagan dares not touch the tiger's buttocks easily now, although he looks a little old.

"You guy who takes advantage of you and sells personal favors to me! Will you suffer if you sign the boy I dug out? In that case, I'm not going to give you his contract, so that you guys always say that I take advantage of you, and I have never let any old friend lose money!"

Takaniang's current expression almost slapped the table and scolded his mother, but Fagan could tell that the relationship between Takanian and the other party was definitely not as simple as a friend. Otherwise, the old guy who had decided to retire could not come to Las Vegas for no reason.

"Well, Jerry, you know that I'm a businessman who sells personal feelings. I always have to make a gesture, but your wild boy, I signed it this time. I found that he looked like he played basketball, which was a little appetizing for me, but I didn't know that Stein knew that David Falk was going to do it again. It's back. What kind of expression will it be? I'm looking forward to seeing his reaction.

David Falk, thinking about this once familiar name, Fagan is really melancholy.

Fagan stayed aside, and now it has completely become a decoration. It seems that Chen Feng's future has been finalized between Takanien and Falk. As for him, he is just a passer-by who came to the door but failed.

But now Feigan has a little gloomy idea. If the news is reported tomorrow, what will be the expression of those agents who also want to sign Chen Feng?

Maybe everyone can only sigh, and the legend in an agent's circle is back.

That guy is the NO.1 in this industry... The ghost knows how much he will make this time...
