This is what Richardson misunderstood. In fact, Happy knows that Jiang Dalin is a "big eater". As a professional agent, he can still do this homework, but he thinks that the "big eater" can do more than the average person.

Eating such a small amount, I didn’t expect that Jiang Dalin, the “big stomach king”, could eat hundreds of millions more than the average person!

However, the problem is not big, it’s just that after eating, his credit card may be maxed out...

It’s really not a big problem...right?

Ahem, man, focus!

Just a credit card!

It doesn't matter if it explodes, you still have labor force!

First consider that what is in front of you may be your only opportunity in this life...

Happy didn't forget the main purpose of coming here.

Before the meal, Happy took the time to talk about his own advantages and business capabilities, and tried his best to promote himself. Thinking that there would be an extremely expensive bill after lunch today, his self-promotion was even more eloquent than before.

A proper "small universe" exploded.

The two people soon understood that the fat man's only advantage at present is that he charges cheaply. Just give him a little money and he will serve you wholeheartedly, because he has no other players to serve. - There are no other players to serve.

So I will serve you wholeheartedly...reasonable and convincing.

As for how cheap the asking price is...

According to industry regulations, agents can only get 4% or less of each player contract from players. Commercial contracts are higher, reaching 12% to 15%. But commercial contracts are often only a small part of the NBA.

To recruit people, this depends not only on the agent, but also on the individual players.

However, those who can get 3% to 4% are very top agents.

Generally, brokers are around 2%.

Happy was even more ruthless. He stretched out a finger and said, "1%! I only want 1% of my salary!"

Of course, he also mentioned, "If you are satisfied with my service in the future, I hope to increase the proportion appropriately to reach an average level of 2%"...

If the annual salary of a rookie player is around 1 million, then Happy can only get a commission of 10,000 per year, which is worse than washing dishes in a restaurant.

NBA agents who are said to be "high-end" often go to various high-end occasions, but in the end they offer to make only such a small amount of money.

You can see what this child was forced to do!

It’s really a desperate move!

The waiter served the meal at this time and after eating for a while, Happy looked at the two of them expectantly and asked them what they thought.

Richardson lost interest long ago when he heard that Happy didn't even have an NBA player as a client. He was just trying to make ends meet.

After all, I have already sat at the table and ordered my meal.

"Happy, thank you for treating us to a meal, but I'm sorry, I have to discuss with my family about signing an agent. Their opinions are very important to me!"

This is actually a polite refusal, Happy could hear it, and he smiled bitterly: "Really? It doesn't matter!"

He was not surprised by this result. The top 7 favorites in this year's draft prediction list can attract countless agents, including some big-name agents who have probably given very attractive offers. How?

It won't be his turn either.

His main target is Jiang Dalin.

Compared to Richardson, this newcomer is less popular. Although he is also a lottery-level favorite, in terms of competitiveness, it is undoubtedly much easier than competing against Richardson.

It’s not that rookies in the lottery are no longer popular!

Only rookies who are likely to be selected with the top 14 picks in the first round can be called "hot rookies in the lottery area". Which one is not the chosen one? How could he not be popular!

It's just that Jiang Dalin's situation is a little bit special.

He is a Chinese player!

The NBA has not yet proven its Chinese players!

Moreover, the "Three Musketeers of the High School League" Kwame Brown, Tyson Chandler and Eddy Curry have all announced that they will skip the NCAA and directly participate in this year's draft...

They are all the hottest seeds in this year's draft!

The degree is much higher than Richardson's.

"Emphasis on the internal and external", the glorious tradition of the draft...

In addition, Pau Gasol, a 21-year-old powerful rookie from the European League, also announced his participation in this year's draft.

Among the rookies participating in this year's draft, there are too many talented inside players with unlimited potential!

Competition often comes from comparisons between people in the same position.

In order to obtain a higher draft pick, these "genius new insiders" are bound to start an open and covert battle among themselves.

This makes them not want to see themselves and their opponents under the same agency.

Therefore, no matter how top-notch the agent is, he will probably only be able to grab one of so many "new insiders" in the end.

For agents, this can be a trade-off.

Jiang Dalin's current momentum is undoubtedly weaker than theirs, and he is destined to be abandoned by these big-name agents.

Happy's competition will naturally be much smaller...

It's just that Jiang Dalin was eating by himself and didn't notice his expectant eyes at all. This was the most peaceful meal he had ever had as a treat.

After all, it was Happy who wanted something from him.

Happy didn't rush him, he had been waiting all morning. He would not be impatient when it was time to eat. Moreover, Jiang Dalin ate at a terrifying speed.

He swallowed three big bites of a sandwich.

A plate of spaghetti was shoveled into my mouth in just a few chopsticks.

In less than half an hour, the food on the table was cleared by him.

"Witt, two more desserts!"

However, he was still unfinished.

Happy was stunned. When he called the waiter and added two more desserts, his hands trembled unconsciously.

This is a high-end steak restaurant. He just looked at the menu. The cheapest dessert costs 40 US dollars. What Jiang Dalin ordered may not necessarily be the cheapest...

It will definitely explode now!

If Jiang Dalin doesn’t agree either…

Happy didn't dare to think about it anymore and was breaking out in sweats.

The waiter quickly brought two exquisite desserts, Jiang Dalin stuffed them into his mouth one bite at a time, and almost a hundred dollars was gone.

"Okay, I can't eat anymore, just have seven layers of food!"

After entering the two desserts, Jiang Dalin leaned back on his chair and showed a satisfied expression: "It's really great!"

"You are such a good man, Mr. Happy!"

This is the third time Jiang Dalin has said this today.

This is... a "good guy card"?

Happy, who had been waiting for an answer, suddenly realized that this beast from China might have begun to reject him politely. And he didn't realize it until Jiang Dalin issued the third "good guy card".

Happy was not in the mood to think about why he was so skillful in handing out "good guy cards", so he forced a smile.

"I, I know, I'm sorry..."

At this moment, his mood hit rock bottom.

Maybe I’m really not suitable to be an agent?

After more than two years of no harvest, he had long been like a camel that was so hungry that it didn't even have a hump but was still carrying a lot of things. The rejection of Richardson and Jiang Dalin also became the breaking camel's back.

The last straw.

"I've decided!"

Almost in unison, Jiang Dalin's next words collided with Happy's words. The two of them stared at each other and stopped, waiting for the other to finish.

In the end, Happy was more humble.

Jiang Dalin sat up straight, showed a satisfied smile, and continued: "I have decided, Mr. Happy, the agent will sign you!"

"Huh?" Happy was stunned, his wide eyes filled with questions, "What, what did you say?" There was a faint excitement in his tone, and more of self-doubt. He suspected that he heard wrong.

"I told my agent to sign you!" Jiang Dalin repeated.

Just at this noon, Happy understood a truth: when someone praises you as a good person, it may not mean anything else. Maybe he really thinks you are a good person.

Next, the two people left each other's contact information and initially reached a verbal agreement.

Half an hour later, Jiang Dalin and Richardson left. Happy looked at their backs and showed a happy smile. Then he put down the expensive bill in his hand and called the waiter over: "Well, brother... you still need a shower."

Bowl worker?”

Yes, that's right, Jiang Dalin successfully maxed out his credit card with this meal.

But it’s not a big problem!

He has a bright future!
