Chapter 48 Bill Duffy's Conditions
Duffy smiled, since Su Yi also said so.
"It seems that you also know the meaning of my coming to Phoenix. In fact, I have been paying attention to you for a long time, and I am very much looking forward to working with you. Yao Ming from Huaguo is my partner. I am very optimistic about Huaguo's market prospects, so I want to discuss something with you. If we can reach a cooperation, that would be the best thing!"
Su Yi nodded, kept smiling and didn't speak.
With his current popularity, he clearly has the upper hand at the negotiating table, so now Su Yi doesn't need to say anything, just listen to what Duffy has to say.
However, Duffy's words prove that he is a frank person. He directly admitted that he is optimistic about Huaguo's market, instead of expressing his feelings and drawing big cakes with himself.
"I don't pay so much attention to commercial interests in the early stage. I care more about the growth of players. If you choose me, I will hire you the most professional team, including training, trial training, and commercial activities."
"You can entrust me to be responsible for all of these. In addition, I plan to rent a villa in Los Angeles to meet your summer training plan. You can leave it to me. All you need to do is rest assured play."
Bill Duffy took out his MacBook Air and showed Su Yi the PPT he had made.
Duffy has indeed cooperated with many famous trainers, but this plan requires a lot of money.
Every page of ppt is real money burning.
However, it is not uncommon in the NBA that an agent pays a player's fee before signing a contract, so Su Yi's expression is relatively calm.
"Sounds interesting, Mr. Bill." Seeing this crazy training plan, Su Yi was a little moved by the duplex villa with a huge swimming pool, but he wanted to hear Duffy continue.
"I said that I am very optimistic about the Huaguo market. In order to represent my sincerity, I will only take a small amount of agent fees. Because I am really optimistic about your future, other agents in the NBA are 3%~4% % salary commission and 20% commercial endorsement, and the conditions I offer are..."
"Mr. Bill, you know, what I value is not money, money is not important to me! I know the importance of an agent to a player's career, so I need an agent who cooperates sincerely, and this is enough, I hope you understand what I mean." Su Yi interrupted Duffy.
"Actually, the conditions I gave are 2% salary commission and 8% commercial endorsement. BDA sincerely looks forward to cooperating with you. Of course, you can sign a short contract with us before your draft. , we are trustworthy." Bill Duffy was a straightforward person, and he continued to finish his words.
"Mr. Bill, I don't think you understand. There is an old saying in China that 'money is something outside your body', and talking about money hurts feelings.
"The issue of the rake is not my first consideration. I hope you can understand. The player's career is much more important than these short-term temptations. So I think I can wait until after the NCAA finals to discuss these damn details. Now say It's all too early!"
"And do you think I'm the kind of person who only cares about money?"
Su Yi said angrily, and gestured with his right hand during this period, constantly rubbing his right index finger with his right thumb.
"1% salary commission and 4% commercial endorsement" Bill Duffy took a sip of tea and finally made this important decision.
"Okay, Mr. Duffy, I sincerely look forward to cooperating with your company."
The two shook hands happily, and the scene was very warm.
Su Yi was quite surprised by today's situation, because when he heard the final 1% salary commission and 4% commercial endorsement, he was really shocked.
You know, in my impression, such a small commission is almost unprecedented in the history of the NBA.
Generally, the more famous an agent is, the higher the commission will be. A famous agent like Bill Duffy is willing to offer such a low-priced contract.
During the negotiation, he kept paying attention to Bill Duffy's facial expression, which was very natural throughout the whole process, and it could be seen that he was indeed a very sincere person.
This is definitely a tool man!
Of course, Bill Duffy's willingness to make such a concession has been fully considered. After all, it is well known that Chinese players have good market prospects.
So he launched an investigation into Su Yi's popularity in the domestic circle in advance.
If you don't check the results, you won't know. If you check it, you will be shocked!
Duffy thought that Su Yi would be very popular, but he didn't expect him to be so popular!
Not only basketball fans are eager for Su Yi's game.
At this moment on the Internet, he even has his own group of little fans, crying and shouting to buy Su Yi's jersey!
Girls screaming could be heard everywhere.
"Su Yi is amazing (broken sound)!"
"Su Yi, I want to give birth to a monkey for you!!!"
The soy sauce crowd who didn't know the truth could only say helplessly: "Su Yi, please take care of the fans!"
You know, the purchasing power of these girls is much higher than that of men!
This kind of heat has reached the breaking point
What's more, this kid still hasn't made it to the NBA?
He planned in advance to snatch Su Yi with a 2% salary commission and 8% commercial endorsement far below the market price.
It turned out that Su Yi was not surprised by the favorable conditions.
How does this look like a student player still in an ivory tower?This is obviously a fighter jet among old drivers!
Bill Duffy is a man who thinks long term.
Although it was an ultra-low-priced contract, Bill Duffy felt that he was definitely getting a big deal!
He bet that Su Yi still had bullets in his gun, and that he would definitely make a lot of money just by relying on the draw of the commercial contract in the future.
Nash, who had been waiting behind the door for a long time, finally walked in.
"Great, Sue, we will be able to participate in business activities together in the future!" Nash had a quiet smile on his face.
"I'll do what's in front of me first." Su Yi continued to keep a low profile.
"I will draw up a detailed summer plan for you, and please have a look at it when the time comes. It won't take a few days, and you will definitely be satisfied." Bill Duffy couldn't wait to hand the rough draft to Su Yi.
After everything was handed over, Bill Duffy left happily.
In fact, what Su Yi said was right. The influence of an agent on a player's career can indeed be said to be pivotal.
Even to a certain extent, whether an agent is reliable or not will directly determine a player's money and future.
In the early days, that is, in the era of Big Zhi, domestic players did not pay much attention to the choice of American agents.
Because everyone thinks: players, just play well, the money will come by itself, and strength is king!
But the unpleasant experience in the UAE draft the year before last changed everyone's opinion.
In terms of operation, the choice of United Arab Emirates agent Dan Fagan has always been questioned.
The whole process of the draft can only be described in four words, that is - the mystery of the mystery.
Before the draft, the three teams that the UAE contacted the most were the Eagles, Bulls, and Celtics.
And it can be said that an agreement has basically been reached with the Celtics.
Almost all media and official draft websites predict that the UAE will be selected by the Celtics with the fifth overall pick.
This is because of his introverted personality, Ah Lian also hopes to go to a big city with a lot of Chinese, so that he can integrate into life in a foreign country more quickly.
However, on the day of the draft, the situation changed suddenly.
The United Arab became the sacrificial child of the Celtics without warning, and the latter chose small forward Jeff Green with the fifth overall pick.
Even weirder things are yet to come:
The Milwaukee Bucks, without any contact with the UAE, "cut off" the UAE at the sixth pick!
And, rejected any other team's trade..
In the face of crowded media interviews, Ah Lian could only shake his head helplessly at the godly operation on the day of the draft: "It's very strange why the Bucks chose me. Let's see what will happen in the future. I'm a little numb now. .”
Later, the gossip was that on the eve of the draft, the Bucks and Timberwolves, teams that were not popular in the draft market, had a small conference call overnight.
The content of which is - cut Hu Alian.
After the weird draft, Dan Fagan strongly advocated that the United Arab Emirates should go to the Bucks' management team to match up, and said harshly: "If you don't let go, go back to the CBA!"
In the end, the boss of the Bucks went to Hong Kong in person and promised to guarantee the starting position of the UAE, temporarily suppressing the situation.
The story after that is as we know it:
UAE did not have a good time in the Bucks, and did not get too many opportunities to play.
Throughout the process, Dan Fagan has indeed been working hard to save the defeat, but every move he takes is hard to compliment.
In addition to the draft, the influence of the agent team's player life can be said to have penetrated into all aspects of the player's life.
Some agents even help players with psychological counseling.
All in all, Bill Duffy's sincerity is recognized in the industry, which is also the basis for Su Yi's willingness to cooperate with him.
After negotiating a big deal, Su Yi and Nash continued to analyze their game videos, and quickly checked for gaps.
On the second morning, Su Yi and Nash conducted pass and control training in the arena according to the original plan.
A stretched black BMW 745i sedan parked outside the stadium
A tall man in a crisp suit leaned out of the car.
The moment he stood up straight, the 745i looked like a toy car beside him.
Then he walked quickly into the arena with a very expectant expression on his face.
"Task Reminder: [Toyota Center Arena] Sign-in task has been triggered!"
