Since the other party claimed to be a fan, Lu Ke and Watt treated the other party as ordinary fans. But the conversation was inevitably mixed with a touch of temptation.
Obviously, Anderson is a smart guy, very, very smart. Watt's reaction was okay, simple and restrained; but the vigilance and alienation revealed in Lu Ke's eyes and words were deviating from Anderson's expected trajectory little by little - this was not the meeting scene he expected.
So Anderson made adjustments and spoke with more sincerity, "I am what everyone calls a champion baby. However, after graduating from college, I stayed in Miami, and now I watch more of the Heat and Dolphins." Team game. To be honest, we had a chance to win that game last season.”
This is the true attitude of fans - this is talking about the fourteenth day of the 2012 regular season, when the San Francisco 49ers narrowly defeated the Miami Dolphins. The 49ers, who were in a crisis in the locker room at that time, performed very, very poorly. The team had chances to win throughout the game.
Lu Ke also showed a smile, "But unfortunately, I couldn't grasp it." A simple sentence, not too proud but showing enough confidence, unless it is a mortal enemy in the same district, even if it is a rival fan He can also accept it calmly. The subtle changes in tone and expression are the wisdom displayed by Lu Ke during the interview.
The same words, some people will make people angry to death even if they say them, but some people will feel like a breath of fresh air when they say them. Marshawn Lynch is the former, and Lu Ke is the latter.
Anderson spread his hands and expressed his regret and regret.
Lu Ke raised his eyebrows and continued, "Don't be too greedy, you also have a championship team." The Miami Heat were the NBA championship last season, and they are still the favorites to win this season.
"It was an extremely crazy night." Anderson's words were meaningful. Although there was no specific description, they could make people understand - the night of celebration after winning the championship was indeed crazy. "However, the craziest title this year is probably It’s about to be transferred to San Francisco.”
"Shhh. JJ is still here." Lu Ke's teasing immediately made everyone burst into laughter: He was implying that the Houston Texans failed to win the championship and should not poke Watt's scars at this moment, but obviously, he Your own words are the greatest "hurt".
Watt looked at Lu Ke without showing any signs of weakness, "We'll see you next season! We don't know what the situation will be then!"
In the 2013 season, according to the schedule, the San Francisco 49ers and the Houston Texans will meet in the regular season.
"Or are you ready to feel my strength during this offseason training? I have absolutely no problem with this." Watt has already begun to show off his muscles, exaggeratingly supporting his two arms to show off his strength. muscles.
Watt's reaction made everyone in the small circle burst into laughter.
During the conversation, time began to pass faster, and before they knew it, Lu Ke and Watt's team had arrived.
The two were about to buy mineral water, but Anderson completed the payment first. "Please allow me to at least express my gratitude. Although it is a trivial matter." Anderson turned back and asked, "How many bottles?"
Lu Ke and Watt exchanged glances, and finally Lu Ke decided to accept the kindness, "Three bottles."
Anderson bought three bottles of mineral water, handed them to Lu Ke and Watt, and then took another step toward the court.
After a brief chat, the three of them entered the stadium again. Lu Ke and Watt were already preparing to leave - just like they were treating a real ordinary fan.
Anderson is in trouble now, because he is obviously not an ordinary fan, but now he is in a difficult position. He must either overthrow and start over, or just go with the flow. Anderson decided to give it a try. Before the two people said goodbye and left, he took the initiative and said, "Enjoy today's game!"
Anderson took the initiative to say goodbye, turned around, then paused for a moment, then moved back again, as if he just remembered something, "By the way, there is a private yacht party in the Bay Area tonight, if you are interested If so, feel free to come and join us. We’re right at Fisherman’s Wharf.”
Casual, looks very casual.
Then Anderson could see a playful smile in Lu Ke's eyes. The little gleam in his eyes made Anderson feel that his thoughts were unobstructed. He could only bite the bullet and continue, "I can do it now." Promise, you won’t just have me as your party partner.”
A small joke enlivened the atmosphere, and then he continued, "What is certain at present is that Philip Rivers, Antonio Gates, Eric Eddle , Marcel Reece (Marcel Reece) and others will all attend; by the way, Matt Sabu and Adrian Foster are also sure to come. In a moment, I will also try to invite Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry and others will depend on the outcome of today’s game.”
All the above-mentioned players are professional players in the NFL, including the names of San Diego Chargers, Oakland Raiders and Houston Texans.
The details can reveal that Anderson is definitely not an ordinary fan.
Now Anderson had no intention of hiding his identity anymore. He took out a small gold-plated business card holder from his pants pocket, took out two of them, and handed them to Lu Ke and Watt respectively, "It has my personal number on it. You are welcome to call at any time." After saying that, he raised his red paper cup as a salute before actually turning around and leaving.
…
Anderson gritted his teeth secretly, feeling extremely annoyed about his performance just now.
Anderson-Strathmore, a professional financial manager. Simply put, his job is to provide professional investment and financial advice. On the one hand, they provide financial management opportunities to help customers increase their assets; on the other hand, when customers have the idea of starting a business or investing, they conduct risk assessments and give advice. .
His clients range from all walks of life, but professional athletes are undoubtedly one of the main sources.
As mentioned before, professional players often don’t know how to manage their own wealth. Many players find themselves penniless and impoverished when they retire. They don’t even need to wait until they retire. Every year’s salary seems to have just entered their bank account. , and it was all squandered again in the blink of an eye.
The agent's duty is to advise and warn, but they cannot control the players' accounts - let alone increase the players' wealth. An agent is an agent, and a financial manager is a financial manager. These are two completely different jobs. Even when brokers manage their own wealth, they need the advice of a financial manager.
Of course, if the professional players are unknown and their salaries are not much, then the role of the financial manager will be limited; but for top players - or top millionaires, an excellent financial manager can make their wealth Continued growth.
Anderson is an excellent financial manager. At only thirty-six years old, he has already established a career and established connections and reputation in the industry. He just set up his own business last year and spent nearly six months to become a player in two leagues: football and basketball. With union-licensed operating qualifications, it can sign NFL and NBA players and be responsible for managing their wealth.
Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors is one of Anderson's clients.
Now, Anderson's company is just getting started and has several professional player clients besides Thompson, but he still needs to sign more clients to get the company on track.
Recently, Anderson has been staying in Oakland, not for Thompson, but for Curry.
In November 2012, Curry completed a contract extension with the Golden State Warriors, which officially took effect in the summer of 2013. This is a four-year contract worth $44 million, with an average annual salary of $11 million. Curry still does not have a financial manager, and Anderson always hopes to be responsible for Curry's financial management.
In addition to Curry, Lu Ke is also Anderson's target.
Anderson and Lech-Steinberg are old friends, and he has expressed his wishes to Lech many times.
Lech recognized Anderson's ability and he was willing to help introduce him. However, Lech said many times that Lu Ke is a very independent and smart young man. He has the ability to think independently. Lech's Recommendations can make things easier, but Lu Ke's trust is definitely not an easy thing, and Laihe can't guarantee that Lu Ke will nod in agreement.
"You need to impress him yourself." These are Laihe's original words. "Also, he is a smart man. If you are not careful, you may step into his trap and even become very embarrassed. If I were you, I will be cautious and cautious.”
Today I accidentally learned that Lu Ke and Watt appeared at Oracle Arena, and Anderson decided to take the initiative.
But after a short confrontation, he truly understood what Lech meant: he was still too reckless.
Originally, he just wanted to test the reality of Lu Ke, and of course Watt; and then, leave a rough impression in front of Lu Ke, paving the way for subsequent meetings and cooperation.
But unknowingly, he fell into passivity, and everything happened too fast. He could only make decisions based on his own intuition. In fact, the party invitation was not in the plan at all, but he still made the decision immediately. accepted the invitation and proactively revealed his identity.
He just feels like a fool now, as if he made the wrong decision in a chess game, and then made the wrong move and got himself into a dilemma.
What should we do now?
He needed to clear his mind again. Fix the problem before the mistake spreads further.
…
"Anderson Financial Advisors, Inc.: CEO and Chief Financial Advisor: Anderson-Strathmore."
Lu Ke lowered his head and looked at the business card in his hand. The simple and elegant business card design came into view, clearly indicating the true identity of the gentleman just now.
Apparently, his instincts were right.
