Basketball Myth: Super Guard

The next day, Yao Ming called Qin Hao back and introduced him to an agent named Martin Ryan from BDA SportsMa.

The founder of this brokerage company is Bill Duffy, who is a very famous broker and a member of the "Yao Team", Yao Ming's American broker.

At the same time, Bill Duffy is also Carmelo Anthony's agent.

So Yao Ming told Bill Duffy that Qin Hao and Butler were going to participate in this year's NBA draft and needed an agent, hoping he could help.

As soon as I heard that it was Qin Hao and Butler, this year's draft was a big hit. If it wasn't for the company's controller, and there were already many players on hand, Bill Duffy would have wanted to act as Qin Hao and Butler's agent in person.

In the end, Bill Duffy recommended Martin Ryan.

Martin Ryan is very efficient. He called Qin Hao less than half an hour after Yao Ming notified Qin Hao, saying that he had arrived in New York and asked Qin Hao when he was free to meet.

Qin Hao asked him to meet at a coffee shop in New York at three o'clock in the afternoon.

......

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lucase Cafe.

BDA SportsMa is not in New York. Qin Hao can almost guess that Martin Ryan came to New York by plane last night or this morning.

But it seems that Martin Ryan doesn't look like he is in the dust. He is wearing a black professional suit, carrying a briefcase, a pair of black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his hair is neatly combed, which reminds Qin Hao of Syracuse University. Scout George Kleiman.

Both of them pay attention to details, at least dress meticulously.

This is actually a very good habit, because such people are generally more rigorous in their work, and they can always complete the work very well.

"Qin Hao, Butler, hello." Martin got up, stretched out his hand and shook hands with them.

Although his Chinese pronunciation is not standard, he did not call him "Qin" like others, but Qin Hao's full name, which made Qin Hao's impression of him a little better.

This guy is really serious.

"Hello, Mr. Ryan." Qin Hao greeted Martin with a smile and sat down.

Butler said hello to Martin, then ordered a cup of coffee and sat on the side to concentrate on his coffee. He was just here to be a tool, and everything was left to Qin Hao anyway.

Qin Hao only wanted a glass of soda. He didn't like coffee. The last time he tricked Butler into drinking coffee was bad for his kidneys. Butler struggled for several days, but he couldn't hold back.

But soon he knew that he had been deceived, and he was aggressively going to fight Qin Hao one-on-one ... of course in the way of basketball.

But in the end, Butler lost, badly.

"Mr. Ryan." Qin Hao smiled: "Then let's start. Frankly speaking, we just know that we need an agent, but we don't know what the agent needs to do. These professional things should be left to professionals. Yes, I believe that Mr. Bill Duffy's recommendation is not wrong, let's talk about the employment contract directly."

Martin was a little surprised.

Generally speaking, the two parties will meet first, communicate and exchange, and will also ask the agent what to do, and then decide whether to use the agent or not.

Didn't expect Qin Hao to be so straightforward, isn't he afraid of being cheated?

You know, there are quite a few entertainers and stars who have been deceived by their agents.

Qin Hao is of course not a fool. Martin Ryan didn't find him at random. Yao Ming found Bill Duffy, and Bill Duffy recommended it. Qin Haoxin did not trust Martin Ryan, but the reputation of BDA SportsMa's agency, and Bill Duffy's reputation.

The reason why Bill Duffy can start from scratch and achieve a career after all kinds of setbacks, the two most important points are sincerity and kindness.

In 2003, Bill Duffy's player Anthony Carter's contract was about to expire, but Bill Duffy forgot to negotiate with the Heat before the deadline for the renewal, causing Anthony Carter to voluntarily give up the remaining one year worth 4 million dollar contract.

At the same time, with the performance of Anthony Carter at this time, it is difficult for other teams to sign him. He will lose 4 million US dollars and will also face a situation without the ball to play.

In the end, Bill Duffy took up his responsibilities. On the one hand, he helped Anthony Carter sign a one-year, $1 million contract with the Spurs, allowing Anthony Carter to stay in the NBA; Anthony Carter paid $3 million in his pocket.

The mistake at work cost Bill Duffy $3 million, but earned him a good reputation.

The person recommended by Bill Duffy should still be quite guaranteed in terms of character and professional quality. In addition, Qin Hao has been observing Martin just now, and he has a good impression on him.

As for what the agent is going to do, Qin Hao will not intervene too much, let alone interfere. He specializes in surgery, which is not his field.

What's more, Qin Hao will hire another team of lawyers to review the contract with Martin, and every contract signed by Martin, Qin Hao, NBA teams, and advertisers.

Seeing Martin still looking at himself, Qin Hao smiled and said, "Why, is there any problem?"

"No." Martin shook his head. "You can call me Martin later."

"Well." Qin Hao nodded, "You can also call me Qin."

Martin smiled and said, "Then let's talk about the employment contract." Then, he took out a contract from his briefcase, "This is the general contract for our BDA SportsMa company, if you have any questions, you can ask Come out, I will be responsible for answering for you. In addition, if you and Butler have any other requests, you can also ask."

Qin Hao looked at Butler, and Butler waved his hand: "It's up to you." After speaking, he shouted to the waiter, "Give me another cup of coffee."

Qin Hao rolled his eyes helplessly, how could I be so rude, and my heart is big enough, I'm not afraid of being pitted by me?

Then Qin Hao briefly looked at the contract, and then asked Martin if he could keep the contract, Martin agreed with a smile.

Qin Hao will hand over the contract to a professional lawyer and let the lawyer check it out.

After that, the two began to communicate about participating in the NBA draft. Not only the agent has to be busy, but the players also need to participate, such as participating in the draft training camp, etc...

Generally speaking, players who sign up for the draft will first participate in a draft training camp. Of course, it is not really training the players, but gathering them and giving them a platform for them to perform. The scouts of each team are responsible for the draft. People will be watching.

If you perform well, you might be picked up by that team.

Players are only responsible for playing, and agents are responsible for communicating with the organizers of the training camp, and even communicate with some NBA teams in advance.
