Chapter 1804: The trick of the broker

"Taylor, I don't understand what you mean, but I can't think of what Xiao Ge's future life has to do with you." Although Xiaoping has a smile on his face, his tone of voice is not good-the most annoying thing is This kind of people, whoever talks like this, or they are engaged in MLM, or they are selling insurance, they are engaged in mysterious secrets, and they are all for your good. Actually, they don’t know what the they are doing. .
Thomas Taylor looked at Xiao Peng and refused to talk to him alone. He suddenly pointed to a red Honda Civic next to him and asked, "Do you like that car?"
Xiao Peng took a look, um, it's the Honda Civic Type-R, which is the high-performance version of the new Civic.
This car is actually really good, the power of the new Civic is very good, this high-performance version is naturally stronger. It has refreshed the fastest front-wheel drive lap time of the Nurburgring North Circuit, which can be described as "air every second, every second." But it is rarely seen in China, because it can only be imported into the country, and the price is very high. Generally speaking, only professional car players will buy this car-after all, its appearance is more than 100,000 yuan. The new Civic is almost the same, but the price is more than five times higher.
But in the Stars and Stripes country, this car is really quite common, because it is more in line with the characteristics of the Stars and Stripes people’s pursuit of high power, so this car sells really well, don’t look at the Type-R and BMW 3 in the Stars and Stripes country. The market price of the series is similar, but the number of Type-Rs far exceeds that of the BMW 3 series.
But Xiao Peng really doesn’t like this car. Other than that, his Hennessy Viper is enough for hundreds of this car to play jigsaw puzzles. It will form an S shape in a while, and a B in a while. Type in a caravan on the road to play
"Well, this car is not bad." But anyway, Xiao Peng still expressed a more objective opinion. Even if he doesn't like Waguo, Waguo has a side that it has to obey.
Thomas Taylor heard Xiao Peng's words and suddenly lowered his voice: "If we cooperate, this car can be given to Xiao Ge as a gift."
Xiao Peng narrowed his eyes and looked at Thomas Taylor: "Cooperation?"
Thomas Taylor nodded: "Shaug's athletic talent shouldn't be wasted here. He should go to a middle school with a stronger sports level, so that he is more likely to achieve higher achievements in the national sports circle and enter those famous universities."
Xiao Peng frowned and asked, "Taylor, what on earth do you do?"
With a smile on his face, Thomas Taylor took out his business card from his arms and handed it to Xiao Peng: "I am a senior economic man of the'AMS' sports agency. I have countless resources in my hands. As long as we cooperate, Xiao Ge can guarantee that now I swear to God that Shaw has good advertising resources, can go to the best university, and can earn countless banknotes. This car is just a meeting ceremony. As long as we cooperate, I promise that there will be better'gifts' for Xiao Ge."
Xiao Peng frowned and said, "Taylor, as far as I know, your current behavior seems to be illegal?"
Thomas Taylor smiled slightly after hearing this: "Mr. Xiao, believe me, in the Stars and Stripes, like me, there are no one thousand and eight hundred. I am more patient than them, so I am more successful than them."
Xiao Peng nodded after hearing this: "You are indeed more patient. You followed Xiao Ge before he was in high school. Are you not afraid of being caught?"
Thomas Taylor smiled and said, "If you don’t take this car, then we don’t have
Cooperation, what if you catch me? And if you take this car, then we are partners, will you sue me? Mr. Xiao, our AMS company is a very powerful company, and we have excellent cooperative relations with several universities. If we can cooperate, I will introduce an excellent coaching team to be responsible for the growth of Xiao Ge and ensure that Xiao Ge will earn money in the future. Money you can't imagine. "
Xiao Peng grinned suddenly: "Unimaginable money? Then I don't want to imagine it. Okay, I don't have any interest in this matter, but you are lucky. I don't have any interest in NCAA. Good impression, so I won’t report you. Okay, Taylor, our exchange is over."
What is the most profitable sports league in the entire Star Striped Nation? football? baseball? basketball? Those who answer this way are too naive.
The NBA is now popular all over the world. Last year it set a record of 8 billion U.S. dollars in revenue. In fact, at least one-third of the teams lose money every year. Compared with rugby, the NBA in Stars and Stripes is really not a money-making business.
But although the NFL makes more money than the NBA (referring to the team is not a player), he is also a younger brother compared to the NCAA.
Speaking of NCAA, many people only know basketball. The NCAA college basketball finals in March are hailed as "March Crazy". At that time, all sports have to give way to the NCAA basketball finals.
In fact, NCAA does not only have basketball, but a total of 23 competitions, such as rugby, hockey, gymnastics, wrestling, volleyball, fencing, rowing, track and field, equestrianism, boxing, etc., and its scale is super large. , Including the Stars and Stripes Country and Maple Leaf Country, a total of more than a thousand universities.
The NCAA's ability to accumulate money is not covered, basketball alone can bring in more than one billion dollars in revenue a year.
Don't look at NBA 8 billion a year, NCAA 1 billion a year, but compared to the profit, NCAA is much higher than NBA, the simplest reason is: NCAA players do not have to pay for college students, all are free!
This NCAA league does not look at the fierce money-gathering, but it has always positioned itself as an amateur league, just like China is always a ‘developing country’. Therefore, these players will not get paid when they compete on behalf of the school. You can only get sports scholarships. This situation has changed since 2015: There is an additional training subsidy of between two thousand and five thousand dollars a year. What is the money for? And any financial support and commercial endorsements for players are forbidden, if any? That is illegal.
It turns out that the NBA also allows high school players to draft directly. Many NBA players come from poor families. The reason they play is to make money and support their families. They want to get rid of poverty through sports, so those true geniuses don’t go to college and just go. In the NBA, McGrady, LeBron James, Howard, Kobe, Garnett, etc. are all in this situation, but this situation has led to a lot of less ratings in the NCAA, so the NCAA looked to the NBA. When the two capitals are combined, On the grounds of'allowing young people to get better physical and mental development', rules were formulated in 2005, requiring high school players to go to college for at least one year before they can enter the NBA, such as Gerald Green and Montaelli. Players such as James, Louis Williams, and CJ-Myers are the last high school students to enter the NBA directly.
And playing in the NCAA, that
It means that there is no relationship with wages, advertising sponsorship, etc. Many high school players choose to pan for gold in overseas leagues in order to make money in advance to support their families. This is the case with Mudiay of the Guangdong team of the China Basketball League.
But the players are also human and need to make money. The NCAA cake is getting bigger and bigger. The TV broadcast rights of the basketball project have been sold for 22 years, totaling 19.6 billion US dollars. In 2017, the broadcast of "March Crazy" alone brought in 761 million U.S. dollars. As the heroes who created this high revenue, those college players still earn close to zero.
They must be unbalanced in their hearts, which allows agents, coaches and brands to take advantage of the opportunity. They have reached a chain: the coach and the agent propose their favorite players, and the agent goes to take the money to buy the student players and their relatives, just in the words of the father of the Lakers "ball brother" Ball Good: Every year in the summer, someone will come to give him money every day.
These agents buy student players in a variety of ways: send cars, send cash, give away luxury goods, and even recruit X workers and strippers for high school students. Anyway, those brand companies provide funds.
When have those poor children seen such a battle? Many people could not bear it, they secretly reached an agreement with the agent, and then went to the university they wanted the player to go to according to the agent’s instructions. In return, the university coach should use his position to facilitate the players’ decisions and influence Their choice of brokerage companies and brand endorsements; and brokerage companies and brands will adopt a prepayment method to attract players to sign in advance.
Many people in Stars and Stripes do not like the NBA and like NCAA. On the one hand, there are many students in Stars and Stripes and they support their alma mater; on the other hand, they feel that the income of NBA stars is too high, and the NCAA is only about basketball. Don't care about money'.
In fact, they think too much. After all, this NCAA is also a business, and since it is a business, how can it have nothing to do with money?
These brokers are not fools either. Why are they spending money like this? In addition to those phenomenon-level players, a few thousand dollars can determine a potential player. If a phenomenon-level player like James drops hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions of dollars, they will not hesitate!
If a player signs a team, 20% to 40% belong to the agency. You can imagine how much money they can make!
For them, this is just an investment.
However, this kind of investment is generally invested in high school students, so that the return on investment is faster, but if such a gifted child as Shaw does not stop training, he will definitely be a phenomenal player in the future, so he can be willing to pay for Shaw. Although the money is good, there is no such a car in front of him that is more intuitive and shocking, so he simply drove a car over today. Give Xiao Ge and his guardians a ‘shocking education’.
He also wanted to get rid of it. After he knew Xiao Ge was an international student, he thought it was a special sports student from Gezhi Middle School. Such families were generally short of money. When he saw Xiao Ge slaughter the Quartet on the football field, I decided to win him ------ crossover athletes like this are simply a cash cow!
It's a pity that he was eager to send the video of Xiao Ge's playing to the company. He didn't see the footage of Xiao Peng falling to Woodhead. If he saw it, he would definitely change his attitude to talk to Xiao Peng.
