Chapter 68 New Contract

In fact, Chen Yu has also considered this matter now.

Because it was time to discuss signing with the Lakers. After all, Chen Yu performed so well in the previous game, so unless there was something wrong with the Lakers, Chen Yu believed that they would definitely keep him.

Therefore, Chen Yu said directly, "As you wish, sir."

Although Chen Yu is only a second-round pick now, and even if he scored high points before, his future is still uncertain, but Bill Duffy still decided to come to Los Angeles to meet Chen Yu directly. With Chen Yu's contract with the Lakers, these will be carried out intensively.

After agreeing to these things, Chen Yu went home and rested directly. For outsiders, today's battle is about knowing Chen Yu and gaining some fans, but Chen Yu himself is still very tired, so he just wants to hurry back to the hotel and die. just sleep.

In this way, Chen met Bill Duffy the next day. Both parties had seen each other's photos on the Internet, so it was not surprising to meet each other, and they quickly negotiated commissions and the like.

Anyway, Chen Yu's commission is now 4% based on the market price, which is quite low.

Especially with the 40% commission rate that entertainment stars need to give at every turn, this is already pitifully low.

Of course, this is also understandable. After all, a large part of the income and various activities of the stars in the entertainment industry must be directed to the agent, and the agent is also responsible for many things, but the agent of the NBA player is responsible for very few things, and the players How much salary you can get mostly depends on your personal strength.

Chen Yu happily signed the agreement with Bill Duffy, and at about the same time, news came from the Lakers that they wanted to talk to Chen Yu about the contract.

Of course, I directly agreed here.

Before actually talking about the contract, Bill Duffy and Chen Yu were chatting about the past. After hearing the news, Bill Duffy became serious and said to Chen Yu: "Chen, before starting the contract negotiation, I want to hear from you thinking. I mean, I want to know how much you want to get, you know, it's important."

Chen Yu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I have studied some contract laws, and I have two principles..."

The matter of the two principles made Bill Duffy a little attracted to Chen Yu, and asked him with a smile, "Which two?"

Chen Yu said: "First, I hope that the contract will be signed for one year. Even if you need to sign more, the shorter the number of years you sign, the better."

"Second, the guaranteed salary can be lower, but I hope my various bonuses can be higher."

These two principles stunned Bill Duffy.

"You know what I hear most from your principles?" Bill Duffy asked suddenly.

"what?"

"Confidence... You have a strong self-confidence, as if you will have extraordinary achievements soon, please forgive my presumptuousness, but I want to know where your confidence comes from?" Bill Duffy looked at Chen Yu and said.

"..." Chen Yu is also a little hard to say, after all, it's impossible for him to talk about his basketball system.

"Bill, I think you have to pay attention to this-my summer league, and then the preseason, and then this latest game, I did not play at the same level, which means I will continue to play. Progress, let the No. 56 pick go to hell for now." After all, Chen Yu was talking to Bill Duffy, so his tone was a little louder: "Actually, I believe in myself."

Bill Duffy looked carefully into Chen Yu's eyes and felt that this guy's self-confidence seemed to be for no reason.

He organized the language in his mind, and then said to Chen Yu: "Okay, Chen, I know what you think, but I also have some thoughts that I want to share with you. You have to know that the career of a professional player cannot be smooth sailing. It may not be as good as you imagine. There are too many people who are always full of confidence and think that they will play better in the future, but what awaits them is that no one cares about them after injuries. Listen to me, I have heard too much Such a story. So I think what we can do is to grasp the present and maximize these, what do you think?"

Of course Chen Yu knew about it.

If there was no basketball system, Chen Yu would definitely agree with these statements.

Life is impermanent, you never know what will happen in the next second.

So of course it is most important to grasp what is in front of you.

But the problem is, Chen Yu has a basketball system!

So, he thought for a while, and then said to Bill Duffy: "Bill, this is my opinion. I still want you to follow my opinion. You have to understand that."

Bill Duffy saw that Chen Yu had made up his mind, so he didn't try to persuade him: "Okay, Chen, I hope you don't worry about today's decision... Forget it, I will try my best to fight for it!"

Chen Yu nodded.

Negotiations between the Lakers and Bill Duffy also started soon, and Chen Yu, as a party involved, of course had to participate.

Of course, it was said to be a negotiation, but in fact Chen Yu didn't have much choice. It was nothing more than signing or not signing. Even if Chen Yu didn't sign, the Lakers didn't lack position control.

However, Chen Yu also saw the means of his professional agent: anyway, Bill Duffy used a series of evidence to prove that after Chen Yu played this period of time, the Lakers were not the only choice.

Therefore, Chen Yu does not necessarily have to stay with the Lakers in the entire NBA now.

Anyway, all kinds of things were settled, but Bill Duffy didn't go too far in terms of asking price, and it could be seen that the Lakers really attached great importance to Chen Yu this time, taking care of all the details. Chen Yu.

In the end, an agreement was finally reached between the Lakers and Chen Yu.

And it's a pretty good deal.

The two parties signed a one-year contract.

The total salary of this agreement is 267 million US dollars!When Chen Yu heard this number, he couldn't believe it.Because even if it is the No. 400 pick, their annual salary is only more than 40 million. For a second-round pick like myself, if the team members want it, it is the minimum new, 60 to [-].

In the end, Chen Yu was able to get such a high score!

Chen Yu almost thought in his heart - Bill Duffy is really a god!

However, after he got the real content of the contract, he was soon relieved—that's how it is!
Looking carefully at this contract, the real guaranteed amount is only 80 US dollars, and the other 187 million US dollars can only be triggered by meeting certain conditions.

Moreover, if these conditions were not for Chen Yu, other people would almost think that Chen Yu could not fulfill them at first glance.
