Not to mention that Lech chose to sign because of the commercial value of a player, how absurd this is-
Big Ben is obviously not the most commercially valuable quarterback in the league. Even in the rookie period, Big Ben is not the kind of player with commercial potential. He is not handsome, he is even a little bulky, he is not good at talking, and even a little rude. . However, Lech chose the big book.
What's more, Lu Ke's commercial value is obviously a "theoretical level" of speculation.
In terms of business value alone, among the rookies this year, Cam Newton is the better choice. As a representative of the new generation running quarterback, he is also a Heisman Award winner and a top pick, plus On his handsome black image, from any perspective, Newton's market potential is more worthy of optimism. This is an objective fact.
On the other hand, American football has no soil in Asia. If the European market, at least there is rugby in the widespread promotion, American football is relatively easier to enter; but in Asia, this is a barren virgin, and there is almost no mass base, it seems like in the United States Like the promotion of table tennis, it is full of too many problems and too much uncertainty.
More importantly, the so-called "commercial promotion" value of Lu Ke's body must be built on achievements. Lu Ke must dedicate excellent performance every week. As a rookie, his foundation is not enough. If the performance of the field begins to fall in the subsequent games, the difficulty will be even greater. The problem is that Lu Ke is not even sure about his starting position.
After all, rugby is different from football and basketball. Football and basketball already have a mature market in Asia. It is a familiar routine to open the situation through Asian players. In football, people do n’t understand the location of the court, the rules of the score, and they do n’t even know whether it is kicked or thrown by hand. Under such circumstances, the waves that a Chinese player can arouse are really too limited.
It may be just one piece of news, or it may be multiple pieces of news, just passing by. It was like promoting the Dakar Rally back then. After the Chinese racers participated in the event, the bustling and buzzing news promotion eventually fell silent. No one paid more attention and the mass base was still too weak.
In the final analysis, for the so-called commercial promotion value, choosing to sign Lu Ke is untenable. It may be an additional reason, but it is definitely not the main reason.
Looking at the young and immature face of Landing Ke, but showing the old way of not conforming to the young, Lech realized that he could not be fooled by Lu Ke, and his eyes glanced again with a trace of appreciation. However, instead of continuing to speak, Lech pulled out his wallet from his pocket, then took out a hundred-dollar bill and handed it over, "That's my reason."
One hundred dollar bill?
Lu Ke was stunned for a moment, hesitantly turned out the banknote, but he hadn't had time to think about it, nor did he have time to answer--
"Bambi", at a critical moment, a call came from obliquely forward, both Lu Ke and Lech raised their heads and looked at the sound. Logan Newman held the phone in his hand and stood in confusion. The exit at the back of the hotel showed an embarrassed expression, "Sorry, I didn't bother intentionally. But ..."
Logan shrugged, looked at Lu Ke, and then said, "Annie said, you don't answer the phone, and you don't reply to the text message. She called me and asked what was going on. It seemed that there was a little bit of her Happening."
Lu Ke immediately understood, nodded and signaled that he understood, without further explanation, Lech said voluntarily, "Please, there must be something urgent."
"Annie is my mother." Lu Ke explained politely, and then apologized, took out her mobile phone, dialed her mother's phone, and walked to the side.
Jiang Youning is a calm personality. Although he does not change from place to place, it is not a type of fuss. A few hours ago, Lu Ke called Jiang Youning in the dressing room and reported safety; if it was not an emergency, she would not make calls twice and asked Logan.
"Xiao Ke, why didn't you answer the phone?" Jiang Youning answered the phone and said immediately.
"I adjusted the mute." Lu Ke could notice a little anomaly, because Jiang Youning was speaking in a lower voice, as if he was avoiding something, vaguely, the background sound was still a bit noisy, Lu Ke's brow frowned, worried Asked, "Mom, what's wrong? Is there anything happening at home?"
"There is a guest at home." Jiang Yuning's footsteps seem to have left the living room and came to the kitchen, and his voice has recovered a little. "Speaking of a sports agent, I hope to be able to sign a contract with you. At the beginning, I wanted to interview us. My dad and I are thinking about planning your career. This is also quite appropriate. Let ’s understand the situation. This was not the case in Logan ’s house before.
Lu Ke smiled dumbly and closed his jaw gently. He already knew the development behind him. "So, did you invite the other party to sit at home?" Hospitality, Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning are hospitable, and they like to invite friends to their homes. Come sit down, this is how the Newmans became friends.
"Guests have come to the door, do they still drive them out like salesmen?" Jiang Youning gave an affirmative answer, "but after they came in, the situation was a bit more complicated."
"They?" Lu Ke noticed the change in wording.
"Yes, there are now three agents sitting at home, the atmosphere is really a bit ... I don't know how to describe it, but they talked happily between the three of them, and your dad can occasionally interject, but it feels nonsense. There is nothing to say at all. "Jiang Youning's big truth made Lu Ke smile with an open heart.
San Francisco, located in the Bay Area, is an eight-hour drive from Los Angeles, but if it is a plane, it takes only one hour and twenty-five minutes to arrive, plus the travel time between the airport and the destination, up to two Half an hour is enough; not to mention, many sports agents are also based in San Francisco-
Because there are no rugby teams in Los Angeles, the San Francisco 49ers are the largest among the entire California, and the Oakland Raiders and the farther San Diego Lightning cannot match. Therefore, the headquarters of the sports agency may be in Los Angeles, because that is the media capital after New York, but the sports agent may be based in San Francisco.
Nonetheless, the game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Cincinnati Tigers, from the end of the whistle to the present, is only two hours and two and a half hours, and obviously three agents have come to the door. This is the end of the rookie training camp. The situation after that can be said to be very different.
"So what do they want?" Watching Jiang Youning still nagging, Lu Ke guided subtly.
"Yes, they want to talk to you. Ask your opinion, and then discuss your career plan." After years of edification, Jiang Youning has no problem watching the game, but his understanding of the entire sports industry is still relatively limited. broker? All the news she knew came from Newman's house across the street.
"Mom, if you don't like it, just send them away. Anyway, I'm not at home now, and you can't make a decision for me." Lu Ke came up with the idea.
Jiang Youning frowned, "Is this really okay?" But the words haven't finished, "Wait." Jiang Youning went out again, and there was a loud noise in the telephone receiver, even though the phone signal was separated, For more than half of the United States, Lu Ke can also feel the crowded and lively home-
Jiang Youning stared dumbfounded at the door. Three elites in business suits rushed forward, and even began to wrestle with each other, pushing each other, just to get up the stairs as soon as possible. It's as if you are half a step behind, and you have to lose something.
But the problem is that there is nothing worth losing here.
"Gentlemen! Gentlemen!" Jiang Youning cried out loudly, "There are already three in the house, so you don't need to fight." Then, the three of them froze and looked at each other, someone asked in a loud voice, "Madam , Do you know who we are? "
"Sports agent, I'm not wrong." Jiang Youning's eyes widened and said his thoughts, and then all three were silent. Jiang Youning pointed to the door behind him, "Welcome, please come in, a little in the living room Wait. Lu Ke is not at home now, he is in Cincinnati, I think, you should all know what is the situation, sit down and drink a cup of tea, and then talk slowly. "
After finishing speaking, Jiang Youning turned back into the room with domineering sideways, took the mobile phone and entered the kitchen, "Huh, why are a group of adults naive like children?" Jiang Youning vomited.
Lu Ke laughed dumbly, "Mom, I'm still listening to the phone." Or did Jiang Youning treat the person on the other end of the phone as her friend?
"I know." Jiang Youning wiped the sweat on his forehead. "What should I do now? What should we know? Is there anything special about the sports agent? The few of them look similar. How do you choose the agent? You said , Shall we call Austin and Tiffany to help us see? "
Hot, this is the real hot.
To be honest, in the sports agent industry, in addition to the top big names like Tom Condon, the main component is still a small shrimp-there are only a few sharks. At present, there are more than 800 registered brokers in the United States, and there are only about 2,000 customers that can compete in the market.
Considering that Tom Condon alone has contracted dozens of top players, the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. As a result, a typical situation of monks and porridge is formed.
Logan and Marcus signed with a well-known agent in the industry. The number of players in their hands is double-digit. Although they lack the top big names, they are not Xiaomi; and those agents with shallow qualifications, for their own Players are bound to serve in front of the saddle, like a babysitter.
By the way, there are also some assistants. After touching and tumbling, they also change their body. After passing the exam, they become sports agents. This is also a shortcut to establish contacts and relationships.
Now, Lu Ke has become the target of countless brokers. In just two and a half hours, six agents came to your door? This is indeed extraordinary.
