Through the microphone, Lu Ke could also feel Jiang Youning's chaos. On the one hand, sports agents were indeed an unfamiliar field to her, and on the other hand, the appearance of six agents all at once caught people off guard. The most important thing is that caring leads to chaos.
Jiang Youning also understands the importance of a top agent. Although, in modern society, changing agents is commonplace; but if possible, everyone hopes to choose an excellent agent to accompany a player through a long and arduous career, putting aside the drama and drama outside the field. It's bloody, allowing players to really focus on the field.
"Mom, Mom, calm down." Lu Ke comforted him in a deep voice, "Just think of them as salesmen. If you don't like them, let them leave. Anyway, I, the client, are not at home."
"How can that be possible?" Jiang Youning shook his head repeatedly, "Now that you have officially entered the league, no matter what, you must choose a reliable agent. Let me tell you, those bad, black-hearted agents, cheating Money is still a trivial matter, the point is, they always encourage players to do weird things, or make unreasonable demands, and good players ruin their careers like this."
"Mom, are you reading some supermarket tabloid again?" Lu Ke couldn't help but hold his forehead and chuckled.
Supermarket tabloids refer specifically to newspapers distributed for free in American supermarkets. The stories are bizarre and unfounded. They can be read as novels and are even more exaggerated than "Story Club"; but for housewives, they can be used as a cushion. Food baskets, or just to kill some time, are quite popular.
Such newspapers rely on advertising sponsors to survive and don't care about the authenticity of the stories. They just go with the news as exciting as possible. They have also created a lot of waves, such as the news of "mummy pregnancy" and "Hilary-Clinton". Clinton had an affair with an alien."
"No." Jiang Youning was also amused by Lu Ke. While denying it, he chuckled, "You kid, I'm worried about you. There is no doubt how important a good agent is. "
Listening to Jiang Youning's words, Lu Ke couldn't help but cast his gaze in the direction of Laihe.
Laihe sat on the bench without being arrogant or arrogant. He was not anxious or nervous at all, and he had no intention of urging Lu Ke. Sensing Lu Ke's gaze, he responded with a smile, then shifted his gaze and looked at the garden next to him - instead of taking out his mobile phone, he was always busy, but a little too leisurely.
Lowering his head, Lu Ke looked at the one hundred dollar bill in his hand.
Suddenly, Lu Ke understood the meaning of this note. This is the one hundred dollar bill from the Washington Redskins. It was originally affixed to the back of the tactical manual, but Lu Ke put it in an envelope and returned it to the Redskins, expressing his determination.
Lu Ke had almost forgotten this incident. Looking back on it now, it felt like it was a lifetime ago. However, Lu Ke believed that Laihe would never take out a hundred-dollar bill casually. There must be a deep meaning. The Washington Redskins is the best explanation.
This means that in the past two weeks or even longer, Lech has been observing Lu Ke seriously and carefully. Today's invitation is not a casual whim. Just like Laihe's reputation outside: He only takes a scoop of water from three thousand.
"Mom, tell those agents that I already have an agent." Lu Ke made his decision.
Jiang Youning was stunned, "Huh? When did it happen? Why didn't I know? Does your dad know?"
"Just now." Lu Ke chuckled, "Mom, don't worry, you know me, I am not an impulsive personality. This agent has actually been communicating with me for some time, but just now, I I think maybe he is the best choice." As if he could still feel Jiang Youning's worries and doubts, Lu Ke shrugged, "He is very famous."
Jiang Youning burst into laughter, "How do we know whether he is famous or not? The point is, is he a good person? Will he take good care of you? Will he force you to do things you don't like?"
Lu Ke thought about it seriously, "Mom, he is a very humane agent."
China always likes to talk about human touch, because this is how connections are established between people, including between neighbors, friends, and family members. Although the United States also pays attention to family and friends and attaches great importance to them, The human touch is much weaker, and the relationship between them is maintained in other ways.
As Lu Ke's mother, Jiang Youning understands her son. Lu Ke is an independent and smart person. Ever since he was a child, he has never had to worry about them. He is calm when things happen and is not surprised by changes. Sometimes he is even calmer than the two of them.
After all, here in the United States, young people adapt faster than them, so Lu Ke also knows better how to use American methods to deal with problems encountered in life.
It was the same when I chose rugby, and it was the same when I chose to become a professional player. What's even more rare is that not only did my college studies not go to waste, but I also graduated with excellent results.
Therefore, Jiang Youning pondered for a moment and just asked, "Have you thought about it?"
"Yeah. I've thought about it." Lu Ke nodded heavily and expressed his affirmation.
Jiang Youning didn't hesitate any more, "Okay, I understand. So what do your dad and I need to do? Do you need us to check?"
"If Dad is interested, he can ask around." Lu Ke also knew that his parents were still worried about his situation after all, so he took the initiative and said, "As for those agents, just tell them that my agent is Laihe Si Tyenberg.”
"Lech-Steinberg?" Jiang Youning repeated, "Okay, that's it for now. Remember to eat on time, and remember to get a massage and relax." He explained again before hanging up the phone. .
Back in the living room, Jiang Youning called out Lu Zhengze. After the couple murmured for a while, they then faced the six agents and said politely, "Sorry, Lu Ke has officially signed an agent contract, so I think he will temporarily No need for help with this.”
"Already signed?" One of the agents showed a confused look. He looked at his peers and determined that everyone had the same doubts: before today, there was no relevant news in the industry, how could Lu Ke suddenly sign the contract? What's up? "Excuse me, who is the agent Lu Ke signed with...?"
But he couldn't think of a reason for Lu Ke to fool them, so he could only ask for verification.
"Lech Steinberg." Jiang Youning reported his name, and then saw the six agents in front of him like wooden stakes, stunned on the spot, with no reaction at all.
Jiang Youning looked at Lu Zhengze in confusion and asked with his eyes, "What, is there something wrong?"
"Who?" an agent asked again.
"Lech-Steinberg." Jiang Youning said again, "What's wrong? This name...haven't you heard of it? But, I'm pretty sure that Lu Ke has completed the signature." At least that's the case for Lu Ke Said.
"No, no, of course not." The six agents waved and shook their heads. If Lech is a nobody, then there are no big names in sports agents. "Congratulations Lu Ke, Laihe is a... very good agent. Then, I will take my leave first."
The six agents left the room in a panic. The embarrassed figures who fled made Jiang Youning and Lu Zhengze full of questions.
At the same time, on the other side of the North American continent, Lu Ke returned to the bench, apologized to Laihe, and handed back the one hundred dollars, but Laihe shook his head, "Wait until you win the super Give it to me after the bowl."
Sure enough, Leah asked the Washington Redskins.
The smile on Lu Ke's lips couldn't help but rise. The two exchanged glances without speaking, but they had already established a tacit understanding and trust between each other. This is a good beginning.
However, before formally agreeing, Lu Ke still had a question, "Excuse me, do you believe the report in 2009?"
"Yes, I believe it." Laihe looked at Lu Ke openly without hesitation or concealment. In that report, the real concern was the health and future of the players.
"So, do you have any suggestions?" Lu Ke asked further.
Lech shook his head frankly, "No. Rugby is a sport about collisions and confrontations. Injuries are inevitable in any sport, and the same is true for rugby. My only suggestion is: don't hide injuries, even if it's just a cold, If you experience muscle soreness, please be sure to tell me, and tell the team doctor. Take care of yourself, and we will discuss the rest slowly."
Having said this, Lech raised his right hand, raised his index finger, and lightly tapped Lu Ke's forehead in vain, "If you become the player I signed, I have only one request: today's situation cannot happen again. You can play with injuries, but the decision must be made by me and the doctor. No lies or self-assertion are allowed. If necessary, I will hire a private doctor. This is the only requirement."
Lu Ke pursed his lips and gently retracted his chin, "That's fair."
Laihe showed a big smile, "Deal?"
"Deal." Lu Ke responded with a big smile. Then, Lu Ke stretched out his right hand, and Laihe also stretched out his right hand. The two shook hands in a friendly manner and formally reached a cooperation agreement.
"Very good, now, the first thing we need to do is lunch." Laihe began to take over Lu Ke's life. "After lunch, we need to have a phone call with the lawyer to understand the contract and then complete the signing. .After this is done, we will sort out all the work. How about it, do you have any questions?"
Lu Ke paused for a moment and couldn't help but smile. This feeling is a bit strange and a new experience. "No, no problem." The two people stood up and walked towards the restaurant, "So, we are considered partners now?"
"Yes, partner."
The original English name of the movie "Mr. Sweetheart" is "Jerry Maguire", which is actually the name of the male protagonist; but after entering China, the name of the movie was translated into "Mr. Sweetheart". The reason is very simple: in contemporary business In the economy, an agent who focuses on one player like Jerry Maguire is indeed Mr. Sweetheart——
No one does this except for charity.
Now, Lu Ke has become the next rugby player chosen by the real-life prototype of Mr. Sweetheart.
