Almighty Coach

George Steven, this is not a very unique name. Many people in the United States are called George, and many people have the surname Steven. This is not as popular as the names "Wang Wei" and "Li Qiang", but it is also considered to be A name that appears easily.

Although Li Dai thought that the name was quite familiar, he didn't think much about it. He only encountered an ordinary American name.

"Mr. Steven, since you are not here to train or apply, what are you doing here? Are you an advertising salesman?" Li Dai asked with a smile on his face.

"Actually I am an agent, an athlete agent." Steven replied.

Li Dai suddenly remembered that when Philip gave him a $ 20,000 check a few days ago, he mentioned a broker named Steven. At the time, Philip said that he couldn't afford the broker.

"Is he the economic man?" Li Dai thought of this and asked, "Are you here for Philip?"

"No, no, Coach Li, I'm here to find you." Philip paused, then said: "But it's also related to Philip. Can we find a place to sit down and talk?"

"No problem. Let's sit over there!" Li Dai took Steve to the side to find a place to sit down.

Americans speak more directly, and Steve does not talk nonsense, but directly said: "Coach Lee, I am an athlete agent, I am very optimistic about the potential of Barron Philip, so I hope to be his agent. I He can be contacted for more sponsorship and more advertising endorsements. "

"I heard Philip say that he rejected you." Li Dai said.

"Yes, he doesn't seem to want to rely on professional brokers. So I came to you. I hope you can help me persuade Philip to let me be his broker. This is a win-win for us." Stie The husband was talking while observing Li Dai's expression.

However, Li Dai's expression did not change at all, and there was even a feeling of rejection in his eyes.

Steve realized this, and immediately changed his mouth: "I correct what I just said, to be precise, it should be a three-win! Coach Lee, if you are willing to help me persuade Philip, I can give you a thousand after the event Remuneration in US dollars! "

Li Dai smiled slightly and shook his head decisively. The price offered by Steve was too sincere.

For athlete brokers in the United States, the compensation is derived from the income of athletes. In general, 10% of the salary of athletes will be used as the income of the broker. The commission of well-known brokers may be higher. In terms of advertising endorsement fees, the broker ’s commission can be much higher, sometimes reaching 20%.

In the case of Philip, he received tens of thousands of dollars in sponsorship fees from various charities. In addition to the insurance company ’s disability insurance endorsement, Philip ’s recent income has to be at least 100,000 US dollars. If Philip has a broker, even if the minimum 10% is selected, the broker can earn $ 10,000.

Later, as Philip's performance is getting better and better, the exposure is getting higher and higher, he will receive more sponsorship, or advertising endorsements, and the commission of the agent will become more and more.

Philip already intends to participate in the competition of normal people, and the disabled who lose their feet participate in the competition of normal people. This is what attracts people's attention. As long as Philip can successfully appear on the field, it will inevitably create a focus. Philip will also Becoming an inspirational figure in the United States, the commercial value behind it is not a matter of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and millions of tens of millions of advertising endorsements may come. For athlete agents , This is definitely a huge treasure.

Li Dai can all expect that Philip will become a golden egg hen in the future, and this Steve is only willing to pay a thousand dollars for this, he wants to hold the golden hen in his hand. Come, this is undoubtedly the behavior of the white wolf with empty gloves.

Steve is very good at observing and observing. He finds Li Dai is disdainful, so he raises the price immediately without hesitation: "How about 2000 dollars?"

Li Dai still shook his head, but Steve deliberately gritted his teeth and said, "2500 US dollars!"

Li Dai still didn't speak.

"Coach Li, this is already a very high number. All you have to do is move your lips and persuade Philip to accept the result of this" three wins "! And this is also good for you. Philip has a special Broker, he can put more energy into training, doesn't he? "Steve persuaded.

Li Dai glared at Steve and made a hand-off gesture: "Mr. Steve, I have no interest in the price you offered. Please do it yourself!"

After Li Dai finished speaking, he stood up and planned to leave. Steve immediately stood up and said anxiously: "3000 USD, Coach Li, this is the highest price I can get!"

Li Dai smiled and shook his head, again making a hand-off gesture.

"Well, since Coach Li is not interested, I will say goodbye." Steve showed a regretful look and turned to walk towards the door.

Li Dai looked at the back of Steve's departure, but began to think in his mind.

Although Philip is the strongest person with a disability, compared with normal people with sound limbs, there must be a big gap. So Li Dai had planned to use "Athlete Patch" for Philip. The effect of the "athlete patch" is a magic weapon for athletes with physical defects such as Philip.

However, "Athlete Patch" is a consumable. Li Dai only has a total of 200, and one patch can only play a role for one year. Philip may need to use 2 to 3 in his career, if only tens of thousands Li Dai really felt a little lost in the training fee of the block.

"Once Philip can get a good result in a normal person's game, his business value will also grow rapidly. It should be very easy to sign an endorsement of several million. If there is a chance to enter the international arena Philip will become a world-famous sports superstar, and by then it will not be a matter of millions of endorsements. "Li Dai began to wonder.

Li Dai was thinking about it. The agent Steven had already walked to the door, but he didn't go out, but stopped. Two seconds later, Steven turned and walked back.

"Why is he coming back again? Something has fallen?" Li Dai looked subconsciously at the surrounding ground and found no regrets left by others.

Steven said, "Well, Coach Lee, you won! You make a price, how much do you want to help me?"

"This kid took me as if he was trying to escape, he must think that if he pretends to leave, I will definitely stop him. This guy can really count, came to me to show negotiation skills, but I really did not Care about the three thousand dollars. "Li Dai instantly understood Steven's intention.

Li Dai looked at Steven with a smile, and said casually: "Mr. Steven, I can already foresee that you will become a very good agent."

Steven smiled awkwardly: "It's the same way to do our business. Coach Li, you still say the price you want, we can slowly discuss."

Li Dai thought about it and stretched out five fingers.

"Five thousand dollars?" Steven took a breath, his expression very solemn, as if he was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle, more like weighing the pros and cons.

Steven really calculated in his heart that these five thousand dollars were not worth it. How long would it take for him to recover the five thousand dollars from Philip?

However, Li Dai shook his head: "You misunderstood, I did not want 5,000 yuan."

"Aren't you asking for fifty thousand yuan?" Steven's eyes revealed a disdain.

"Of course not." Li Dai shook his head, and then said: "I want 5%!"

"5%? What 5%?" Steven asked immediately, and he had an ominous hunch in his heart.

"Philip's annual income is 5%!" Li Dai said.

"This is impossible!" Steven shook his head without hesitation: "Coach Li, you must be kidding?"

"Are you looking at me, are you kidding me?" Li Dai said seriously.

"Hehehehe ..." Steven couldn't help laughing: "Coach Li, this is the most ridiculous thing I've heard! As a broker, we will only charge a 10% commission! You just go and persuade Philip Looking for a broker, you want to get a 5% commission? You are too whimsical. Even if I agree, Philip will not agree. Do you think he will give you 5% of his income? Okay, Coach Li, let's not laugh, let's talk about something practical. "

"I didn't have to say that I had to take 5% from Philip. You can also give me the 5% in your commission." Li Dai said unhurriedly.

"Crazy, you must be crazy! I really thought that I would talk nonsense with a madman for so long!" Steven shook his head and turned away.

Li Dai suddenly said, "Wait for a moment. Since I asked for a 5% share, there is naturally my reason. Maybe you can listen to me another condition."

"Hehe ..." Steven gave a mocking smile, he stopped and turned around: "What are you still conditional for?"

"I also know that you will not agree to this requirement of 5%." Li Dai said.

"No agent in the world will agree unless he is a fool." Steven said with a shake of his head.

"So we might as well add an agreement on gambling." Li Dai smiled.

"What's the gamble agreement?" Steven asked immediately.

"500,000 US dollars!" Li Dai continued to shake 5 fingers, then said: "If Philip's annual income is below 500,000 US dollars, then I don't want a penny, if Philip's annual income exceeds 500,000 US dollars. , For the excess, I want 5%! "

"500,000 dollars?" Steven's expression suddenly became serious. He said: "You dare to propose such a gambling agreement. Do you think Philip's annual income can exceed 500,000 dollars?"

"I have faith in him!" Li Dai nodded.

Steven frowned ~ www.readwn.com ~ He started evaluating again.

In the United States, even individuals with an annual income of more than $ 100,000 are considered high-income people. Even in wealthy California, families with an annual income of more than $ 450,000 can squeeze into the top 1%. With an average person earning 225,000, you can enter the top 1% of California's wealthy population.

For professional athletes, the income is mainly salary and advertising sponsorship. Those players who can enter the four major leagues in the United States can easily make 500,000 a year. For example, those rookies who have just entered the NBA and get a basic salary, the salary is higher than this. .

For track and field athletes, they do n’t have a salary from the team. They make money by playing bonuses, and by advertising and sponsorship fees. If they want to reach an annual income of $ 500,000, it ’s too difficult. Bonuses are not too exaggerated, unlike tennis and golf, which are often at the million level, so track and field athletes often need some big sponsors who are willing to pay to make so much money.

Steven is a professional athlete agent. He certainly knows how much money athletes of all levels can make in a year.

"Even if the track and field athletes are in normal health, it is possible to get the million-level sponsorship fee for the world's top level. The exposure rate of disabled athletes is not as good as that of normal people. How can Philip have annual income? 500,000 opportunities! If he can make 300,000 a year, even God bless! "

"This coach Li doesn't know the United States at all. He may think that the United States is full of gold, and any athlete can make a lot of money, so he made this strange request. But this is good, but it saves me a lot. pen!"

Steven thought of this and stretched out his right hand: "Coach Li, I promise your agreement on gambling and wish us a happy cooperation!"
