999 A Kindness
Buzzing.
Buzzing.
The cell phone placed on the desktop vibrated, interrupting Lu Yiqi and Griffin's conversation. Lu Yiqi glanced at the cell phone, gave Griffin a look, then connected the cell phone, stood up and pushed open the back door and walked towards the yard.
"Hey, Scott."
The call was Scott Piley, the manager of the Kansas Chiefs team.
What is the origin of Piley, who just took office this year? In fact, he is the vice chairman of player management for the New England Patriots. He is very good at dealing with players and has a close personal relationship with Tom Brady. From 2000 to 2008, he witnessed Brady's rise. At the beginning of the year, the Kansas Chiefs successfully poached and made Piley the team manager.
Objectively speaking, Pili is indeed very good at player communication, but the team manager is a brand new position. He does not have a clear idea yet. The only thing he can be sure of now is that he needs the help of the head coach.
Choosing Lu Yiqi is indeed a perfect partner for Pili—
The lack of experience and the youth of age can be precisely the partner of Piley who works side by side, and even a progressive learning partner from scratch. The popularity of reputation and the experience of coaching at Kansas State University can perfectly adapt to the Kansas Chief who fell into a trough, although the Kansas Chief is not in Kansas but in Missouri next door.
It is precisely because of this that after Pili took office, he showed absolute sincerity to Lu Yiqi.
"Hey, Archie." Peelli's voice was filled with briskness, "Congratulations."
Facing the snowy courtyard, Lu Yiqi's eyes showed a hint of surprise, "Have you received the news?"
"Of course. How could Thompson remain quiet?" Pili said with a smile. "Green Bay has released internal news, and the authoritative reporter of the league has also confirmed it internally. However, the news has not been announced yet. The slowest afternoon is this afternoon, and the fastest will be officially announced in thirty minutes."
After the Green Bay Packers and Griffin completed the contract negotiation, they already knew that there was basically no problem with the contract, and only the final signing process was left. Therefore, the team will never miss the opportunity to promote and create momentum in advance. They need to maximize the influence of this contract renewal.
Interior exclusive.
Lu Yiqi knew very well the powerful influence of this group of words, "In fact? I haven't officially obtained the contract yet? You are just taking the lead."
"But I believe you should have listened to the agent's numbers? The largest contract in history? I must admit that we do not have the courage of Green Bay." Piley also expressed his approval frankly. The Kansas Chiefs, who are now at a low point, do not have such courage and courage. The biggest bargaining chip they convinced Lu Yiqi? It is the decision-making power to participate in the team building? In addition, they have no competitiveness in terms of contract amount.
"Sorry." Lu Yiqi chuckled and apologized, "This time there is no way to respond to your invitation."
Even if we put aside the intention of the Kansas chief to poach, the conversation between Pili and Lu Yiqi was indeed relaxed and pleasant. The two of them can be considered friends.
Piley smiled heartily, "Then you must remember that you owe me a favor this time." If the Kansas Chief was not chasing Lu Yiqi, the Green Bay Packers would not have felt such a strong sense of crisis, and the final contract number would not have created a new history.
"Haha? It's indeed the team manager, and the foreshadowing has been completed between chatting and laughing." Lu Yiqi also joked with him.
Pili sighed with regret? “But unfortunately, this time it was a trick that was not a chess game? I missed it in the end. What I heard is that the contract is five years? Then I can only look forward to four years later? I still have the opportunity to continue to fight for the Kansas Chiefs.”
"Four years later? What will happen to the league again?" Lu Yiqi said meaningfully, "But I hope we can all open up a whole new situation."
Then, Lu Yiqi and Pili exchanged a few more greetings before hanging up the phone.
Returning back to the house, Griffin asked curiously, "If the negotiations in Green Bay do not go well, would you be willing to go to the Chief of Kansas?"
Lu Yiqi's lips raised slightly, but there was no positive answer, "But because of Mr. Griffin Ward, our negotiations are still very smooth, right? Now, the contract has been completed smoothly, and what we need to consider is how to build a real champion."
Griffin did not continue to get entangled, "Also, don't forget the visionary blueprint, which is also part of our plan."
This is originally a key task in the offseason. While examining rookies, examining college players with potential, and slowly expanding the signing players under Foresight Blueprint.
"How is the progress now?" Since the establishment of Foresight Blueprint, this should be the first time Lu Yiqi has officially cared about the company's signing situation. He had just lost a list of potential players to Griffin, and then left the matter. After all, he needed to focus on his job. Griffin had some complaints, but after the Green Bay Packers topped the Super Bowl, he obediently shut up.
Griffin glanced at Lu Yiqi speechlessly, "You haven't logged into our company's website, right?"
"Do we have our own official website?" Lu Yiqi looked surprised, and then looked at Griffin's gritting expression. He immediately changed his course and raised his hands to cheer, "Oh, congratulations, we also have our own official website. It seems that the progress is very good, thank you for your hard work!"
Griffin rolled his eyes and expressed disgust, but he still didn't stick to it and talked about the results of his work again. "Do you know that the agency contract between Jody Nelson and AJ Hawke has been transferred to our company?"
Lu Yiqi, “…”
Griffin was not surprised either. Obviously Lu Yiqi didn't know, "I heard the news that their agents had some small problems, so I intervened and successfully obtained their brokerage contract. I thought they would at least ask you, after all, it was a brand new company, but now it seems that they have never asked you."
Lu Yiqi shook his head helplessly, "I should talk to them. If this continues, I won't know what's going on if I'm sold by others in the future." Especially the simple and simple guy Nelson.
Griffin directly raised his middle finger to Lu Yiqi, "Are you questioning my work ability? How could they make mistakes under my custody?"
"You are not their nanny, how can you supervise them all the time? If they are cheated of money to invest, they will be smashed into the water, and then I will tell you what can you do?" Lu Yiqi has long been used to it. When professional players are blindly investing, they will be heavily in debt. Don't have too much news. The broker can provide too little help.
