Chapter 2 Syracuse Fans
In Minneapolis in April, the scene is quite different from that in the cold winter months.This city is the largest city in Minnesota, and almost the entire population of the state gathers here. The winter and summer here are distinct, and the summer is extremely hot.
In a Chinese restaurant in the urban area, Bill Duffy, Li Shihao's agent, was chatting with a silver-haired middle-aged man in casual clothes.
Although the silver-haired middle-aged man has crow's feet on his face due to the years, his clothes and speech are extremely extraordinary, without the contrast of a well-made suit, a suit of casual clothes is still very tasteful when worn, and his slender and strong figure The grooming is very aesthetic, and it looks like a handsome middle-aged handsome man.
"Duffy, the weather in Minnesota is really hot. It's just the beginning of April, and the weather here has risen. It's warm. Compared with the cold winter here, it's a big contrast." The silver-haired middle-aged man chewed The fresh and tender steak just cut, just said slowly.
Bill Duffy smiled when he heard the words, and the look in his eyes was uncertain, "Minnesota is very good here. I used to be afraid of the coldness of this city. I was terrified by its name, but I have come here many times, and I like it too. To this northern city."
For Bill Duffy, Minnesota is another beginning of his agent career. Yao Ming's career has entered the twilight years ahead of schedule due to injuries.
However, due to the deep friendship accumulated over the years of cooperation, Yao Ming also attached great importance to Bill Duffy as a friend.
In the future, after Yao Ming retires from the NBA, there will inevitably be a large gap in Asian basketball, not to mention the NBA. Bill Duffy's agent business will undoubtedly lose a lot. Although this loss is due to injuries, but Yao Ming, who is gentle and friendly, is still a little bit apologetic.
So I recommended my agent Bill Duffy to Li Shihao. Of course, there are reasons why I want to recommend an agent with excellent ability to Li Shihao, and I also want to find a new young star for my old friend Bill Duffy.
Yao Ming is also someone who has experienced it, and if he understands how the two can work together harmoniously, it will naturally be a happy situation for everyone.
From going abroad to working hard in the United States in a foreign country, Yao Ming naturally understands the importance of an excellent agent to a player, especially Bill Duffy, a reliable "friend-type" agent like Bill Duffy.
Yao Ming knows that a good agent is essential whether it is dealing with the Basketball Association, negotiating contracts, promoting player influence, or negotiating with the team. There is no way to change it, but Yao Ming also understands the importance of the agent.
Therefore, as soon as Li Shihao participated in the draft, Yao Ming recommended Bill Duffy as Li Shihao's agent. He just didn't want his little brother to avoid detours and have a smoother journey as a player.
Facts have proved that Bill Duffy's ability and network are indeed outstanding, and his long-sleeved skills and precise judgment have already signed many big contracts for Li Shihao.
Adidas, KFC, Coca-Cola, not to mention the endorsement contracts of these big brands, there are hundreds of small contracts. Of course, there are Li Shihao's outstanding performance in his rookie season as the foundation, and it is also inseparable from Bill Duffy's excellent operation ability. It's open.
Duffy is a visionary, and now he is targeting A&F, the No. [-] brand of casual clothing in the United States. This giant in the American clothing industry is rich and powerful. They also select and replace some celebrities every year to promote brand clothing, but The effect has been less pronounced.
This time, the silver-haired middle-aged man that Bill Duffy met was McBeary, a high-level executive with a strong voice in the management of the A&F giant. Hearing that he was a fan of Syracuse University, this made Bill Duffy secretly guess. Could Mike be a fan of Li Shihao, so he tentatively proposed an invitation. Unexpectedly, after receiving the email, the latter replied that night, expressing his willingness to go to Minnesota to watch a game in person.
This news undoubtedly verified the conjecture in Bill Duffy's heart. McBeary is very likely to be a loyal fan of Syracuse University. To a certain extent, he even has a lot of love for Li Shihao, who led Syracuse University to a historic six-overtime comeback game. Good impression.
In fact, the executives of many large companies in the United States are not very interested in the NBA, which is too commercial, but more interested in the younger and less commercial NCAA.
Syracuse University, University of Kentucky, Duke University, these well-known schools in the United States are all their favorite teams, some are because of their alma mater, the attention will continue to be constant, and some are because of personal favorite reasons , purely out of interest.
A&F's McBiley is obviously because of the former reason. He was born in Syracuse, and his attention to the alma mater that nurtured him has not diminished. Supporting the team is the way he has always insisted.
Every season during March Madness, he would definitely watch a few Syracuse University games, even when he was busy, he never stopped.
McBeely took a sip of the mellow red wine in the goblet, with a sense of enjoyment on his face, "Indeed, Minnesota does have many charming places, such as this wine from Minnesota State University, which tastes very Unusual, mellow and charming, wonderful.”
As he said that, McBeely narrowed his eyes involuntarily, and this handsome middle-aged handsome man lost his composure.
Bill Duffy smiled when he heard the words. There are many wineries in Minnesota, but few people can drink the wine brewed in the university. However, after he came to Minnesota a few times, he learned about this local western restaurant, so The fact that there was a Minnesota State University wine in the drinks served certainly reminded him of the place.
Different from those produced by world-renowned wineries, the red wine of Minnesota State University has a special flavor that makes people unforgettable.
Now, isn't McBillie's expression the best proof? Basically everyone who drinks and tastes it will be amazed by this red wine.
"Tonight's game is against the Sacramento Kings, right?" Suddenly, McBiley opened his eyes and said softly.
Bill Duffy smiled slightly when he heard this, and nodded.
After McBeely received a positive response, a blush appeared on his fair face, and he seemed a little excited, "So, can we witness a rookie showdown tonight? Sounds good!"
