Chapter 93 A group of predators
Holding a lot of business cards in his hand, Chen Feng felt that this was even more crazy than when he was in the Bar Bar. At that time, only a dozen people had followed him. But in this situation, not only did the agents who came to him on their own initiative, but also sent a batch of faxes to Tarcanian.
Those agents who can find Tacanian specifically are considered well-known figures in this circle.
"Old man, can't you be my agent? I'm a little unreliable when I ask these guys to decide what's going on for me. When those guys look at me, it's no different from seeing a pile of dollars. I don't want to be plotted against by a group of businessmen after I walk out of the street."
Chen Feng held his cell phone and complained to the old man who was still staying in Las Vegas. He could hear from his tone that he could not bear the harassment of such a fierce agent recently.
Even Chen Feng thought about moving because just this morning, another guy came to him.
Chen Feng doesn't want to be on guard against a group of hungry agents every day, besides dealing with those reporters.
"I am not a professional in this regard, and I am not a professional talent, so I will not provide you with the best service. I am just an old man who teaches others how to play basketball. I am not a versatile talent who knows everything."
"I don't understand those contracts and business cooperation. Don't mess with me anymore."
Takanian scanned the faxes on the table at the other end of the phone and said to Chen Feng that before Chen Feng entered the NBA, Takanian had already agreed with him that he could help with the first contract, but even if he wanted to help with those professional things in the future, he would be powerless.
After all, compared to being a coach, there are many tricks in the circle of agents.
There are many people in this industry across the United States, but there are only a few people who can emerge. Not everyone can be successful in the circle of agents, and their connections are extremely terrifying.
Like some guys, they can even affect the team's management and those superstars.
If superstars are the team's signature, then the agent is the big hand that waves this signature.
Tacanian is confident that he can get along very well in NCAA, but the agent is a bit difficult for him, not to mention that he is already in his seventies and eighties and does not have the energy to run around.
The last time I ran back and forth between New York and Las Vegas for Chen Feng's incident, this made the old woman at home a little angry. Tacanian really couldn't afford to offend the tigress at home.
The most important thing is the body. He is not those young people anymore, and the agent's work is not easy.
Moreover, it is impossible for a matter of contacting an advertiser to be negotiated in a day or two. He is indeed a little old, so when Chen Feng repeatedly asked him to be his agent, Takanian chose to refuse. This is not only a matter of professionalism but also a matter of his personality.
He dragged that wild boy from the street into the circle of professional basketball in order not to let a talented little guy die like this, rather than intending to gain any benefits from him and be a vampire.
Although Chen Feng didn't think so, Tacanian was originally a stubborn guy. He dared to file a lawsuit directly in court because of this kind of persistence.
Those who are coaches do not touch those interests, which is Takanian's insistence.
But Takanian still kept a word in his heart, "Be an agent with this wild boy? Then wouldn't I live ten years less? With his personality of causing trouble everywhere, how can he be without trouble?"
Of course, this sentence will never be said to Chen Feng, because even if it is said, it will have no effect.
Chen Feng's personality was tempered by life, and it was impossible to smooth out his edges and corners. Takanian had seen it for a long time. It was definitely a hard job to tame this guy.
Even if I am a agent for him, I don’t know what news I can hear after getting up every morning.
However, Tacanian also knew what Chen Feng said just now. In the NBA and other professional leagues, there are many agents who rely on players to play basketball and then suck their own blood. It can be said that most of them are like this. Professional ethics is just a decoration.
If you really want to talk about professional ethics, it is best not to include the agent business.
Most of them are profit-oriented vampires. They don’t care about the future and development of the players. As long as the team can provide a big contract, they will jump up and down to incite agents to change their wings.
Behind the big deals in the league, there are one or two brokers with great hands and eyes that are fueling the fire.
If it weren't for them, it would probably be much lonely for fans and media reporters every summer when the transfer door opened, and some behind-the-scenes news would not become the focus of everyone's hot discussion.
But just like those big deals, not every agent puts players first.
There are not only one or two players cheated by agents. There are also many unscrupulous agents who get commissions and don’t care about the players’ lives or death. In this business society, this is a ready-made lesson.
"Old man, you really won't help me, right? You don't know how crazy it is now. Those guys are just stuck outside the stadium and stuffing business cards for me. There are countless people who call me every day. If this continues, I will be harassed by these guys. Even if you are sure that you can't be an agent for me, at least you have to give me some advice. After all, I really don't have much awareness of those guys."
Although Takanian cannot hold this position on the same position, he always has to consider Chen Feng. After all, this kid was dug out from the streets and he can't really make the unscrupulous businessmen cheap.
"Okay, boy, don't complain to me. If you want to blame, you blame yourself for your own rapid rise. In the eyes of those guys, you are a naked beauty. Everyone wants to take possession of you first."
Takanian's words made Chen Feng feel chilled. Beauty? Or was it stripped naked? I'll go, who is so heavy with my look? Fortunately, the man-style mouth is not afraid of dying in the bed in the end?
But thinking about the self-promotion looks of those agents, it really looks a bit like Tarcanian described.
That crazy spirit is a little bit more than those reporters, but thinking about it is, reporters are just for the news, they are trying to get 4%-5% commissions for a lot of money, which is not a small amount of money.
Although Chen Feng's non-guaranteed contract with the Celtics is the lowest in the league, with his amazing performance in these two games, who can guarantee that his next contract is not a big one?
Not to mention anything else, among this rookie, it is probably difficult to find a guy who is more amazing than this guy's performance, especially the inside line is scarce, and the value of a big guy is even more difficult to estimate.
And after killing the Suns, the Celtics were at home, and Chen Feng once again collided with the unlucky No. 1 pick Banyani, and then the Italian lost again with a crying expression.
Face-to-face confrontation, without any suspense abuse. During the warm-up match, Banyani could have used the excuse to say that he was unfamiliar with the environment, so after the end of this game, he had no excuses.
The Raptors were completely desperate. They thought they had chosen a big hand to hold the back of the team, but after using it for a long time, they found out that this was just a prosthetic limb or a defective product!
Look at the useless guy I chose, and then look at Chen Feng, the Raptors manager and fans whom the Celtics chose in the second round, probably already regretted it at this time.
After only a few games, Chen Feng started to notice this fierce big guy.
Also, don't forget that this guy is an Asian, just because he is in this identity. His advantage in Asia, or in the Chinese market is not comparable to that of others.
Many agents who are familiar with Asia may not know what blood means, but they can indeed understand the strong desire of Chinese people to be eager for cognition. Woods is not because this guy has three-eighths of Chinese descent. Don’t forget that Chen Feng is a genuine Chinese.
Although that guy has immigrated to the United States with his father, he has lived in China for more than ten years, which is much better than those banana people. At least he is the original descendant of Yan and Huang.
Having such an identity is the real attempt of the agents who send faxes to Tarcanian.
This society is the market that determines everything. What those agents value is the potential that Chen Feng can tap in the Asian market. Although he has just emerged now, this guy is definitely a standard potential stock in the eyes of many people. In the future, this kid will definitely become a big gold mine.
How much can Yao Ming earn in a year? Annual salary has long been no longer the main source of income for the little Asian giant. Advertising is the majority of his income. Compared with annual salary, advertising is the agent's favorite.
You should know that NBA has explicit regulations that the commission rate on salary contracts can only be about 4%, which cannot exceed this limit, but in advertising contracts, this ratio can be increased to 20%.
20%. If it is a contract worth 100 million yuan, an agent probably will be enough to make him rich just by doing this deal. Moreover, the contracts Yao Ming has signed now are more than these.
Nowadays, many agents can target Chen Feng. In addition to this guy without an agent, the more important reason is that economic interests will always be the original driving force.
But now Tacanian looks at the faxes he has on hand now, the names of agents that many players are jealous of, which makes him scratch his head a little.
"Bill Duffy, Brother Fleish, Goodwin, Danny Feigan, it seems that the stupid boy is really popular. There are so many big crocodiles targeting him."
Chen Feng didn't know that so many people were aiming at him at this moment. For him at this stage, it was true to get playing time under Rivers.
As for the agent, let the old man consider it for him. That kind of thing is a bit too professional.
But Chen Feng hasn't thought it through clearly, and his every move will attract the attention of those bigwigs.
