"If the business doesn't work out, then I at least hope we can still be friends."
Lu Ke's answer was unexpected, and Jerry's reaction was equally unexpected. The tense atmosphere that was suffocating one second turned into a spring breeze of joy and lightness the next second. The atmosphere and rhythm of the entire VIP lounge were firmly controlled by Jerry, which highlighted Lu Ke's The youthfulness.
No matter how experienced, mature and calm Lu Ke is, in the final analysis, he is only twenty-three years old.
"Friends?" Lu Ke didn't know why. They were talking about business just now, why did they suddenly talk about friendship?
Jerry, however, still looked at ease, "Business is business and friends are friends. These are two different things and cannot be confused. Or do you think that I am not a friend worth keeping company with?"
"Ha." Lu Ke chuckled, "Believe me, if I tell other people now that Jerry Jones wants to be friends with me, my Facebook friends will explode immediately." With young people made a little joke.
Jerry laughed happily, "Shouldn't it be my Facebook friend requests that exploded? I was joking with Tony before, you have become the president of young people now, everyone wants to be friends with Bambi. "
"Tony also told me that the nickname Skywalker is no longer popular. Now everyone is more willing to call you Bambi, because the red sea in the Super Bowl is so shocking." Jerry's conversation rhythm was instantaneous. Just switch back to the friendly mode, and the entire atmosphere can be changed freely, which has to be said to be a kind of ability.
Before Lu Ke could finish his sigh, Jerry changed the subject again and added, "But I sincerely invite you to come and play in Dallas. Your playing style, conduct, and professionalism, all of these are the hallmarks of Dallas." It's what Dallas needs. I really hope you give it some serious consideration."
From being tough and confident just now to being sincere and cordial now, his sincerity is revealed in every word, which is really hard to resist.
Master!
Definitely a master!
Even Lu Ke was a little shaken. Jerry's sincerity was indeed very contagious. Especially when compared with the reaction of the San Francisco 49ers' senior management, the stark gap became even more empathetic.
Jerry didn't wait for Lu Ke's response, and the smile on his lips rose, "If we can become partners, that would be great; but if not, I hope that when you go to Candlestick Stadium to watch the game next season, you can still welcome."
To be honest, it was very difficult to say no when faced with such an offensive from Jerry.
Or is it that all the ups and downs in tonight's meeting are all Jerry's plans and strategies, and all the details are in the hands of Jerry?
After realizing this, Lu Ke laughed dumbly and shook his head slightly, "Jerry, you are amazing, you are really, really amazing. God!"
Seeing Lu Ke's smile, Jerry laughed out loud again - this was the third time tonight. It could be seen that he was in a very good mood indeed. He likes smart people, especially those who are smart, wise and determined like Lu Ke, "But no matter how powerful I am, I still can't convince you, can I? I can only place my hope on Laihe now."
The team manager of the Dallas Cowboys is Jerry Jones. In addition, his son Stephen Jones is the executive vice president and player manager. All player management work is assisted by another assistant player manager. , completed together.
If Jerry Jones is ready to sign Lu Ke, then once he makes up his mind, nothing will be a problem. As he said, he can make an offer that Lu Ke cannot refuse within the range allowed by the team's salary cap. This is definitely not a lie.
Regarding the transfer, Jerry and Lu Ke talked about it here, but they did not leave immediately. Instead, they talked about tonight's "Saturday Night Live" program; later, Lorne also appeared, It looked like he had just finished his work and showed up "on time", and the time Lu Ke and Jerry had alone was a complete accident.
The three of them stayed in the VIP room and chatted for a while before getting up and leaving.
When Lu Ke returned to Candice's residence, the clock was already close to two o'clock in the morning.
For New York residents, Saturday night has only reached its climax now. It is the most wonderful and moving moment of the entire weekend. People can be seen enjoying themselves inside and outside bars, nightclubs, and streets, and it is lively and exciting. The breath of vitality passes through the spring cold and falls on the surface of the skin, and you can faintly feel a little heat.
But for professional players, this is really uncommon. The work and rest time during the regular season has always been regular, and the quality of sleep is very important. It is almost impossible to fall asleep after ten o'clock, especially on Saturday night - because Sunday is the game day, it is even more important to fall asleep on time. Even in the offseason, there are only a handful of such situations.
After arriving home, Lu Ke took a quick combat bath and then fell into a drowsy sleep.
The next morning, the biological clock still woke Lu Ke up on time, and he started morning exercise among the dark red brick streets of Manhattan. This was a wonderful experience, without the coastline and hill slopes of San Francisco, nor the openness of Los Angeles. Hepingtan, the city streets of New York inexplicably breed a sense of loneliness - being alone in a huge world.
After returning from morning exercise, Lu Ke skillfully prepared a simple breakfast for himself: blueberries, bananas mixed with various nuts, and then paired with four eggs.
It’s not a complicated diet. The offseason has just begun. The main thing is to maintain a healthy diet. After the offseason training officially starts, the diet will be slowly adjusted.
Sitting at the dining table, Lu Ke summoned the system and began to look through the comprehensive training package carefully.
Breakfast was over, but Lu Ke still did not leave the dining table. Instead, he concentrated on reading the comprehensive training package, unable to extricate himself from it. The passage of time became insignificant until the vibrating sound of his mobile phone came from the corner of the room. . Lu Ke raised his head and looked around, then found his mobile phone on the bedside table, glanced at the caller ID, and it was Laihe.
"Good morning! It's obviously important to call so early." Lu Ke returned to the dining table and placed all the dishes in the sink.
The time difference between Los Angeles and New York is three hours. It's just early nine in New York, which means it's six in Los Angeles.
Laihe still looked unhurried, and even thought of joking, "As you get older, your sleep time begins to decrease gradually, and it's not too early now." The relaxed and joking tone made Lu Ke couldn't help but smile, "During the offseason, your biological clock and training plan have been interrupted. I'm not sure about your next plan. How about ten minutes?"
"Of course, no problem." Lu Ke simply rinsed the dishes with tap water, wiped his hands, and stood still against the dining table. "I was just flipping through the tactical manual. There was nothing special."
"Haha, don't worry, I've already contacted you about all the offseason training starting next week." Laihe knew that this was what Lu Ke valued most, so he explained the matter in the first sentence, and then Then he got to the point, "Jerry Jones called me last night. It's past midnight here in Los Angeles."
Although for agents, they are always on standby 24 hours a day, seven days a week; but many things are not always urgent, especially late at night, but Jerry still behaves like this, which is actually the case. Just to show your sincerity and determination.
Lu Ke just nodded slightly and did not express his opinion.
Laihe left a gap for a moment, then realized that Lu Ke had no intention to speak, and continued, "It seems that Jerry talked to you first last night? Why didn't Vincent notice?"
This is a guess, but more is certain. You can smell the abnormality from Lu Ke's calm response.
"He showed up at the show live, and was directly introduced by Lorne Michaels. Vincent was in the lounge, and he didn't come over. Jerry and I only talked for less than twenty minutes, and I didn't talk to Vincent either. Special mention." Lu Ke said lightly, as if he just met an old friend, not Jerry Jones.
When facing Jerry last night, it was inevitable that he would feel a little emotional; but after a night of settling down and a morning of sobriety, Lu Ke's brain gradually calmed down.
"What do you think?" Laihe did not directly mention the conversation between him and Jerry, but asked Lu Ke for his opinion.
Facing his agent, Lu Ke naturally told the truth, "If possible, I still hope to stay in San Francisco."
"Is it because of Tony?" The same was the first thought in Lech's mind. Lu Ke had just entered the league for two years. Apart from the team, he didn't have many friends in the league. JJ Watt was one, and Tony Luo was one. Mo and Matt Ryan can also count.
Lu Ke did not deny it, "Of course. I still can't calmly go over and grab Tony's job. This feeling is really weird." Lu Ke himself chuckled, "But Tony is just one of the reasons, Luo Gen, Marcus and the head coach, they are all the reasons why I continue to stay in San Francisco. After all, they are still familiar. However, the most important reason..."
Lu Ke paused for a moment and said honestly, "It's still because of the nine people. I promised the nine people before that I would stay. Unless San Francisco really hurts me, I hope to stay, just for the red ocean."
Lech wasn't surprised.
Lech himself is an agent who values love and justice. He was the same when he chose Ben Roethlisberger, and he was the same when he chose Lu Ke.
In fact, the FL is slightly different from other leagues. The quarterback is the core cornerstone of the entire team. If possible, the quarterback stays with the same team, and then the team manager and head coach build the entire team around the quarterback. Team, this is the right idea, it is a win-win situation for both players and the team.
Most of the time, other players can be traded, but quarterbacks are rarely available.
