A different point guard path

For Lin Rui.

The end of a college career means the beginning of a career.

To start his career, Lin Rui needs a professional team.

The team needs an agent right now.

When Lin Rui returned to the dormitory, he called "Jeff Schwartz!"

According to Coach Holland, this is his old friend, and there will be no problems in terms of credibility and professional ability.

Although Lin Rui trusted Coach Holland, he still wanted to meet him.

Soon, the call was connected.

Obviously, Jeff Schwartz also knew about Lin Rui.

After the two communicated briefly, they agreed on a time to meet.

The next day, Lin Rui saw this white man in a suit and leather shoes.

Schwartz shook hands with Lin Rui enthusiastically and introduced himself.

After a simple courtesy.

Schwartz said: "Lin, I checked a lot of your information and saw a lot of entertainment news. If I hadn't met a real person, I would have thought you were in the entertainment industry."

Lin Rui shrugged and said nothing, mainly because Scarlett was spreading rumors with him.

This girl is going too far, she has to take time to teach her a lesson.

Schwartz said: "Of course, I'm not saying that you are not like a player. It just makes me realize that your commercial value is far more than ordinary players, and then, there is a market behind you."

Lin Rui said, "Say something useful."

...

...

Lin Rui quickly saw Schwartz's professional ability.

In the end, Lin Rui and Schwartz will set up a brokerage company together.

Lin Rui will take [-]% of the brokerage company's shares, and Schwartz will take [-]%.

The brokerage company mainly signed Lin Rui, and Schwartz was responsible for the execution.

This will not conflict with Schwartz's own brokerage company.

The [-]% of the shares are mainly used to pay Schwartz's brokerage service fees and the usual management company fees.

NBA does not prevent players from opening a brokerage company, even players do not need an agent.

Lin Rui could set up his own company without Schwartz, but Lin Rui didn't want to do that.

Professional things are left to professional people, and eating alone is far less profitable than a win-win situation.

Lin Rui just wanted to focus more on the basketball court.

Schwartz is also very satisfied with Lin Rui's share. After all, Lin Rui is regarded as a cash cow, and Schwartz is good at the network, resources and operational ability in the NBA.

[-]% of the shares is definitely much more than the commission.

Schwartz's success in the NBA is largely related to his ability to gain the trust of players.

On the third day after the two finalized their cooperation, Schwartz helped Lin Rui hold a grand press conference.

At the press conference, more than 50 media visited, and more than half of them were from China.

At the press conference, Lin Rui officially announced: "I will participate in the draft this year and bring my talent to the NBA!"

"Kakkaka!"

The camera recorded everything about Lin Rui announcing his candidacy!

Subsequently, Lin Rui was interviewed by reporters.

With the end of his college career, Lin Rui also needs to create momentum for his draft.

Of course, the press conference is also to obtain endorsements to another extent.

Lin Rui is equivalent to telling the world, sponsors, I am waiting for you to contact me.

Lin Rui is also short of money now, and his expenses are often sponsored by Li Feifei.

It feels good to eat soft rice, but it cannot be eaten for a long time.

The effect of the press conference was remarkable.

On the fourth day, Schwartz called Lin Rui.

There are three sneaker manufacturers who have offered Lin Rui endorsements.

Nike 7 million US dollars in 8000 years.

Adidas 6 million US dollars in 9000 years.

Li Ning 6 years 6000 million US dollars + 2000 million US dollars worth of stocks.

All three are contracts for signature shoes.

In terms of price, Adidas is the highest, Nike is the lowest, and Li Ning is in the middle.

Schwartz directly benchmarked the price of sneakers that James negotiated during his rookie period.

Lin Rui's entertainment attributes and strength, as well as the market behind it, made the three sneaker manufacturers willing to pay this high price.

Lin Rui didn't hesitate.

"Li Ning."

Supporting domestic products is Lin Rui's deep-rooted choice.

Neither Guo nor Adihu are role models that Lin Rui should follow.

Lin Rui also didn't say that he planned to sign a high-priced contract after playing for two years.

First of all, his current fame and strength match this price. Even if he plays better, he will not let the sneaker manufacturer raise the price too much.

The risks of not signing sneakers far outweigh the benefits.

It is true that the system can improve strength, but Lin Rui is not sure how fast it will improve.

Then, Lin Rui is really short of money now, he doesn't want to have to swipe the girl's card to open a room with the girl.

After Schwartz received the order, he began further negotiations with Li Ning.

..........

One week after the finals, Lin Rui was completely busy with all the things he should do in college.

Lin Rui received a call from his parents.

Dad Lin said to Lin Rui: "Rui Rui, you are now the best defender in the country. You must continue to work hard to get into the squad for the Beijing Olympics next year and win glory for the country in the future."

Lin Rui's father instilled in Lin Rui the concept of patriotism since he was a child.

Lin Rui said: "Yes, I will work hard, dad, I will soon become a billionaire, and then you and mom will enjoy the blessings too, don't go to work."

Lin Rui subconsciously wanted to give the best conditions to his parents.

Lin Rui's mother replied: "If you don't go to work, what do you ask us to do? We are old and like to stay at home, and we have something to do when we go to work. Save your money too. Don't waste it. Professional players have a short working life. Besides, you haven't married a wife yet..."

Lin Rui listened to his parents rambling for over an hour.

If it was Lin Rui before, he would be very impatient, but now Lin Rui won't.

Compared with money, he knows that what his parents need more is company.

At this stage, pursue his dreams and make his parents proud of him.

This is what his parents expected of him!

................

Schwartz quickly called Lin Rui again, saying that he had received an invitation letter for a joint trial training.

And it is suggested that Lin Rui refuse the joint trial training, that kind of trial training is not what Lin Rui needs to go.

Lin Rui confirmed that he would not go to the joint trial training.

Then the general managers of as many as 15 NBA teams contacted him in advance and expressed their goodwill.

Schwartz asked about Lin Rui's trial training arrangement, and Lin Rui felt that there was no need to try out too early.

Lin Rui responded directly that trial training too early is also very cheap, and everything will be arranged after the draft lottery is confirmed.

The draft lottery will take place in May.

At that time, the team with the worse record in the regular season will get a higher pick.

Since there are three rookies this year, Oden, Durant, and Lin Rui, they are very popular.

Many nba teams have already begun to show off their performances in a few games at the end of the season.

Lin Rui wants to have more control over his future.
