Shenyin Shanhaijing

Chapter 54 The Broker

Lu Cheng didn't know about being videotaped.

In the next few days, he received calls from several companies asking him to be their product spokesperson.

He was not familiar with this aspect, so he didn't dare to agree immediately.

He discussed with his father Lu Tianming.

Lu Tianming made a phone call and contacted "Eastern Sports Agency Co., Ltd."

This is a nationwide chain of sports agency service agencies. When they received a call, they sent someone over to talk to Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng saw two people, a man and a woman.The leading man was in his [-]s and his name was "Huang Guangjing"; there was another young woman named "Li Hong".

Huang Guangjing was born in the lawyer's profession. He didn't appear in court seriously, so he changed his career to work as a sports agent.Dressed in a sharp suit and with a shiny hair, he looked like an elite man.

Before he arrived, he already knew about Lu Cheng's basic situation. He knew that this young man had won three marathon championships in a row, broke the national record, and had a certain reputation, so he attached great importance to this business.

After seeing Lu Cheng, he first introduced himself with a smile: "I am mainly responsible for the brokerage business of some sports elites in this area 200 kilometers around Quancheng. Currently, I have three assistants and represent more than [-] athletes. I am in charge of brand packaging , contract signing and intangible asset development. As for details such as business planning and competition activities, my assistant Li Hong is in charge..."

Lu Cheng listened to the other party's eloquent talk and obtained a lot of information.

"As early as more than ten years ago, the commercial value of athletes was already very high. For example, Liu Xiang, whose income from 2003 to 2014 was as high as 5.35 million yuan; tennis player Li Na, whose career income was 4.5 million yuan; Yao Ming, who spent 9 years in the NBA The total income of his career is 20 billion yuan; Lin Dan, a famous badminton player, has earned 20 million US dollars in his 4100-year sports career, not relying on game bonuses, most of which come from brand endorsements. Another example is Sun Yang, who undertakes advertisements for cars, insurance, and sportswear. The income is over [-] million...

In recent years, with the continuous development of the domestic sports industry and its continuous integration with the international community, the commercial value of sports resources has grown rapidly. The domestic transfer value of some male football players is close to 5 million yuan, and the annual advertising revenue of sports stars exceeds 1 million yuan.

Mr. Lu, since you broke the national marathon record twice, it has high commercial value.I have made a preliminary assessment for you. After our packaging, if the planning is proper, the annual income will be more than 5000 million yuan.According to international practice, the commission ratio of sports agents is generally 10% to 30%..."

Lu Tianming was afraid that his son would suffer, so he was also listening at the side.

Lu Cheng stared at the other party, and said in a deep voice: "Let me tell you the truth, the existing marathon record, 1 hour, 59 minutes and 15 seconds, is not my best time. If I let go of running, I can run within 1 hour. 50 points."

Both Huang Guangjing and Li Hong looked suspicious, unable to believe what he said.

From 1 hour and 59 minutes to 1 hour and 50 minutes, the gap is too big!How is this possible?Who can improve the marathon score by 9 minutes, it can only be a god, okay?

Lu Cheng said again: "Besides, I can not only run a marathon, but also run 100 meters and 200 meters. You have also seen that in the final sprint stage of the marathon, my 9-meter time was around 5 seconds."

Huang Guangjing praised: "We are very clear about this. Mr. Lu, your competition results are dazzling, and I am honored to serve you."

Lu Cheng said: "The problem is, I'm not a professional athlete, and I don't want to spend too much time and energy on this. I can run up to 4 marathons a year, plus 3 sprints. I don't want to participate in the others. I don't want to because Endorsing brands, but participating in various boring activities. I like a clean life, like freedom, and don't want to be restrained."

Huang Guangjing pondered: "Every athlete is different, and each has his own way of playing. We can plan and arrange according to your requirements."

After some careful discussions and bargaining, Lu Cheng finally signed a brokerage agreement with the other party. The brokerage fee is 7% of his endorsement income, excluding competition bonuses.

In Lu Cheng's view, this number is already quite a lot.

But in Huang Guangjing's view, the failure to negotiate a 10% commission can only be considered unsatisfactory.The good thing is that Lu Cheng is a big dark horse, and the future "money scene" is infinitely bright.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng handed over all matters to Li Hong, and Li Hong negotiated with major brand companies, and the final agreement had to be reviewed by Huang Guangjing.

In this way, Lu Cheng can have free time for himself.Otherwise, there will be a lot of things, busy, no rest, and no time to practice.

Moreover, if he does not hire a broker, he will easily fall into various contract traps unless he studies another undergraduate degree in law.

Lu Cheng looked at the competition schedule and felt that there were too many competitions registered in one go, so he canceled the Shanghai Marathon and the Fuma Marathon, leaving only one Guangzhou Marathon.

Guangma is on December 12th, and there are still about 12 days left.

Lu Cheng wanted to spend more time studying "The Song of the Great Witch".

Moreover, he also wants to go to the "Five Lotus Tomb" to take a look in person, because in recent days, the aura of heaven and earth has improved again, and it can increase by 0.5% almost every month. He thinks this is very strange, and he doesn't know what it is reason.

It has been confirmed that the improvement of heaven and earth aura will promote the awakening of human blood, thus giving birth to supernatural beings.

For example, the suspect in the burglary and homicide case that emerged a few days ago, or the few dark horses that emerged recently in the marathon, like Hong Yanming, whose original score was 2 hours and 30 minutes apart, once After awakening, the score suddenly increased to about 1 hour and 50 minutes.

In addition, in recent sports news, excellent athletes in javelin throw, discus throw and middle-distance running are constantly appearing.

Lu Cheng believes that these people may all be the beneficiaries of the improvement of the spiritual power of heaven and earth.

However, there are still potential problems here. Is there any harm in the improvement of the spiritual power of heaven and earth?Will it cause the awakening of wild animals, resulting in a result similar to "demonization"?Will it come back from the ashes?Will there be new and more powerful viruses emerging?

Also, have there been any unusual changes in the plant kingdom?Will there be throwbacks to modern plants?What about the resurrection of extinct plants?

Lu Cheng looked at the "Soojin Grass" he had planted by the small river, and found that they were growing well, they were a little wilted at first, but recently they became vigorous again, unlike other weeds that wither in winter, It's mid-November and it's still green!

Lu Cheng also took advantage of the situation and thought: "Can the five grain seeds I brought back from another world be planted here? If it can be replanted, it can improve people's physique, and it will be a rare tonic..."

After all, he has studied Chinese acupuncture and moxibustion for four and a half years, and he still wants to make a difference in this area.
