"One billion dollars?? What an 18-year-old said?"

"Dear Yao, I'm very busy at work, and I don't think it's the right decision for you to call and joke with me."

Jeff Schwartz was very calm when he received the call from Yao Ming. He turned on the phone hands-free, added sugar to his coffee, and browsed the NBA news on his computer. At the same time, he did not forget to instruct his assistant to clean up his desktop files.

Obviously, he did not take Yao Ming's words seriously. He felt that Yao Ming was just joking to open up the conversation and communicate with him about other issues later.

For example, let yourself contact a team owner who wants to acquire some team shares or something like that...

"Mr. Jeff, why do you think I'm joking?" Yao Ming raised his tone, trying to sound serious.

"I'm telling you very seriously, I have a business of 1 billion US dollars that I can hand over to you. Of course, the success of this business is mainly up to you."

Seeing that Yao Ming's attitude had become serious, Schwartz also put down his casual attitude, began to wave away the female assistant beside him, put down the coffee in his hand, and sat on the office chair to take it seriously.

"In myself??"

"Your words are beginning to arouse my interest!!"

Schwartz put his legs on the desk, lit a cigar, and took a deep drag.

"Can you be more specific, Mr. Chairman?"

"Since it is cooperation, we should talk openly and honestly!!"

"Let me guess, that 18-year-old young man is the son of the chairman of your CBA company. He asked you to contact me and package your entire league agency business to our company for operation, and then continue to expand? It is possible to do 10

Billion dollars?"

Schwartz held the phone in his left hand and turned the lighter in his right hand, asking tentatively.

"But I'm sorry, Yao, I'm not interested in the CBA business, and I'm sure it won't allow me to do a billion-dollar business."

Yao Ming didn't expect that he was just a second late, and the shrewd guy opposite had already made up a lot of things in his mind. He even took into account his entire country's league, and looked like he was not interested and was ready to lower the price...

In order to prevent the other party from continuing to misunderstand, Yao Ming quickly said: "NO, NO, NO, Jeff, you are overthinking, I have no such plan."

"Even if this happens, I will consider Bill first, not you!!"

Yao Ming said straight to the point: "Actually, we have a Chinese player, and he wants you to be his agent and help him prepare for the draft!!"

Schwartz reacted immediately: "Are you talking about Jiang?"

"No problem, I've heard of him. He will definitely be selected in the first round. I believe in his ability."

"Jiang took the initiative to ask me to be his agent??"

"Yes, Jeff, you guessed it right, that's what happened!!"

""Tell Jeff that I have a $1 billion project to hand over to him." These are Jiang Hu's exact words. I don't know what he plans to talk to you about. I think you can meet and have a good chat."

Hearing Yao Ming's exact words from Jiang Hu, Jeff Schwartz was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Oh? Well, I'm looking forward to meeting him too."

"He will arrive in New York on April 28th. I hope you will pick him up then."

"Okay!!"

……………………

April 28, sunny, New York, JFK Airport.

After getting off the plane, Jiang Hu immediately took out his mobile phone, turned on the airplane mode, and called Schwartz.

"Mr. Agent, I landed, where are you?"

"I'm here at the exit!!"

Jiang Hu walked towards the exit of the station and saw Schwartz at a glance.

He was wearing a fitted black suit and a colorful tie, holding a phone in his hand and waving to Jianghu.

"Go to your company and let's talk!"

As soon as the two met, Jiang Hu immediately threw the suitcase in his hand to Schwartz without showing any sign of indifference.

Schwartz took the box by surprise, handed it to the assistant next to him, and then smiled and said: "Jiang, this is the first time I have seen an Oriental like you. You are very confident!!"

Jiang Hu did not look back, but turned around and waved his hand: "I'm so suffocated, I'll go to the bathroom first, and we'll talk when we get back!!"

A moment later, Jiang Hu went to the bathroom and found Schwartz and his female assistant waiting attentively at the door.

"Let's go, Mr. Agent."

"You are very good. You have made so much money and you are still so responsible towards your customers."

"Of course, customers are God and the meaning of our existence!!"

"This way please, Jiang..."

Walk out of the airport and take Schwartz's nanny car.

In the car, Jiang Hu and Schwartz did not speak.

As soon as Jiang Hu clung to the soft sofa chair, he immediately felt sleepy. He simply closed his eyes and rested, adjusting his body to adapt to the jet lag.

Schwartz, who was on the side, understood what was going on and did not come forward to disturb him. Instead, he was playing with his mobile phone while making wild guesses about the billion-dollar cooperation that Jiang Hu said.

What exactly is a billion-dollar cooperation? This question has been bothering him for several days.

His intuition told him that Jianghu might be deceiving him.

The sixth sense told him again that Jianghu really had a way to give him a chance to take over the US$1 billion contract.

With such worries, time passes quickly.

Traffic in New York is very congested. The 57-mile journey from JFK Airport to Schwartz's company actually took three hours to drive.

During these three hours, Jiang Hu had a good sleep, while Schwartz thought for three full hours...

When he reached the end, he didn't even think about where the $1 billion business Jiang Hu mentioned was...

………………

Arriving at Schwartz's office, Jiang Hu sat directly on his office chair, crossed his legs and snapped his fingers.

"Latte, half sugar, thank you!!"

Schwartz was stunned again. After a while, he asked his assistant to prepare coffee.

"Jiang, can I call you Jiang?" Schwartz didn't realize that, sitting opposite the unfamiliar office chair, his tone couldn't help but lower.

"Jiang Hu, my full name is Jiang Hu. You can call me Jiang if you like. I don't mind, but it's best to use my full name."

Jiang Hu casually picked up the lighter on the table and played with it in his hand, while staring expressionlessly into Schwartz's eyes opposite him.

Schwartz felt a little uncomfortable when Jiang Hu looked at him with cold eyes, and almost ducked away...

After a while, Schwartz realized the problem: He shouldn't be nervous, right? The one who should be nervous is the 18-year-old kid opposite, right? His posture seems to be a little too low...

As one of the biggest agents in the NBA, I shouldn't be so gaffey.

Thinking of this, Schwartz leaned directly behind the soft sofa chair and said: "Okay, Jiang, let's get straight to the point!!"

"What do you need me to help you with?"

When Jiang Hu heard Schwartz's words, he didn't react for a long time, but continued to play with the lighter in his hand...

Until Schwartz couldn't bear it anymore and was about to speak again.

Jiang Hucai looked at Schwartz and said slowly: "Help? Do you think I need help?"

"I only need to go to trial training and then I will be selected. After entering the NBA, I will earn millions of dollars in salary every year. What help do you think I need?"

"If you want to help me, I think you can't help me with other things besides finding a hotel and contacting me for trial training!!"

"Are you sure you want to help me??" Jiang Hu casually threw the lighter on the table and asked.

"I can help you negotiate an endorsement contract," Schwartz replied.

"No, you are not helping me, you are working for your reward!!"

"..." Schwartz was silenced.

"Well, young man, your psychological quality is really good."

"Let's be direct. Let's talk about what you said. How do you want to talk about a billion-dollar business?"

Schwartz was too lazy to beat around the bush, and went around and around without falling into his trap. Instead, he became irritated by the detour.

Seeing that Schwartz finally couldn't help but ask questions, Jiang Hu knew that he had taken the initiative in this negotiation.

"Mr. Schwartz, I would like to know how many players you currently have on hand and how many contracts are there for the NBA players you have?"

Schwartz directly gave the accurate answer: "33 people, with an average annual salary of 8 million US dollars, and an annual salary of about 260 million US dollars."

Jianghu made an estimate and found that the current salary has just increased significantly. Schwartz's players, Jokic, Ingram, Middleton and Jamal Murray, have not yet signed their biggest contracts.
