I briefly chatted with Paul about the agent, gave Schwartz his contact information, and sent Schwartz a text message, but did not discuss the issue in depth.

Paul's Wake Forest University has reached the top 64 of the NCAA and will begin the knockout rounds at the end of February. At this stage, it is not possible to sign an agent, and even being caught meeting with an agent in private will be punished.

Although Paul is the favorite to be picked in the top five picks in this year's draft, he still has concerns about this aspect.

James didn't communicate with Paul in advance because he was worried about this matter. He just didn't expect Liu Mang to be so shameless and steal business in order to earn a few percentage points of commission for his company!

After the four of them returned to the hotel, Liu Mang stopped playing with them. James took Paul and Jiada to go shopping together, and Liu Mang returned to the room to catch up on some sleep.

At noon, Anthony, as the host, invited some players to the luncheon, mainly the rookies, second-year players and some players from the main game who participated in this year's All-Star Weekend. Liu Mang's family was also invited.

Liu Mang took San Niu into the restaurant rented by Anthony at the Crawford Hotel where they were staying, along with three All-Star players including Tracy McGrady, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown, and Iguodala and Josh-

Smith and two Eagles players who participated in the rookie game were invited.

"Hey, Carmelo and Garnett are here, why don't you see Kobe?" Liu Mang asked when Anthony came up to hug him.

When he came in, he saw two No. 21s who were desperately putting food on their plates, seemingly competing to see who could pile it higher, but he didn't see the little blacksmith.

Garnett is a person whose fighting spirit is written on his face, and even off the court, he still carries the grudges on the court. Although Duncan seems to have no emotions, he is also a person who refuses to admit defeat. Both of them are on the court and off the court.

Competition.

Anthony looked at Liu Mang, what should he say? Could it be that Kobe stopped participating when he heard that you were going to participate?

Anthony could only say haha: "Kobe has something to do and he can't come."

"it's a pity……"

After Liu Mang and Anthony said hello, they went to meet the others and didn't talk too much. The main reason was that other people saw Liu Mang dragging his family with him, and it was not easy to talk about sexual matters, especially

In the morning, the teammates who brought Liu Mang the drink bill from the nightclub for the previous few days so that Liu Mang could pay the bill did not bother Liu Mang.

Liu Mang still remembers being drunk for more than 50,000 US dollars in three days. Fortunately, it was Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown's turn to treat them. The girls who were packed away were paid for by Tracy McGrady.

McGrady is the worst, and now he looks like he is on the verge of death.

Liu Mang found an empty table and took the three girls to eat at the big restaurant, as if he wanted to eat back.

After eating something and bringing Paul and his wife to eat, James came over again after saying hello to a group of big guys, and brought four other members of the 03 generation with him.

"Hi, Levia, Aida, and the beautiful girl Dinah." James came up and said hello.

The three girls responded, especially Dinah. When she heard the name beautiful girl, she happily gave him a high-five with the old uncle in his mouth.

"LeBron, Dinah is only 10 years old." Liu Mang stared at James and said.

"Fuck you, Ace, I came to you for something. I have something to ask you." James smiled and then said seriously.

"Huh? Tell me, I will definitely help if I can." Liu Mang did not refuse. Seeing how serious James was, the others were also very serious.

James looked around and saw that there was no one else around, and asked: "Ace, I heard from Dwyane, did you choose to sign a five-year contract so that the fourth year would end or to directly renew the contract with veteran-specified terms?"

Liu Mang understands this. Wade will be in his third year next year. It’s time to renew his contract in advance. If he waits until the fourth grade, he will renew his contract directly. Renewal in the fourth grade is very risky. What if he doesn’t play well in the fourth grade?

, even outstanding rookies will have such doubts, so Kobe and Garnett all renewed their contracts in advance after playing for two years. Garnett's 100 million yuan contract that was renewed in advance after his second year in 1997 is still

This led to the NBA lockout.

Schwartz must have discussed it with Wade, but it is not the agent who can decide how many years to sign. It is mainly decided by the players. The agent's opinions are mostly based on references, such as Pippen, agents, Jordan, and the Bulls.

The general manager and Jackson all wanted him to sign a short-term contract, but he signed a seven-year contract worth 20 million. There was no way to stop him. He turned himself into the cheapest star in the 1990s.

James has a management team, but he found that his management team is not that good, at least not as good as Liu Mang's ideas. At first, he saw that Liu Mang signed a five-year contract and didn't think much about it. Later, he heard from Wade

After talking about it, I remembered that Liu Mang was a second-round pick, and he deliberately paid an extra year of basic salary, directly improving his contract from a mid-level contract extension to a maximum-salary extension.

James' agency team trained him well in high school and as a rookie, but it failed later on, so James later formed his own agency.

Before Liu Mang could answer, Anthony spoke first: "LeBron, I don't think this is good. Signing a long-term contract is more conducive to the team building around us."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Bosh and Milicic were fine, Liu Mang, Wade and James were speechless.

Isn't it enough to save the team so much money with a four-year rookie contract? Are you still thinking about the team? Moreover, it is not your own side that takes the initiative to make the team more oppressive and force them to constantly strengthen the ball.

Team?

"Carmelo, your idea is not bad," Liu Mang did not deny the other party's idea, and then continued: "But I love money more, I want to earn more, so LeBron, you are not wrong, I want to earn more

point, so I want to trigger the designated veteran clause as early as possible."

What makes Liu Mang most praised by other stars is the key to his unbelievable good relationship with so many stars in the eyes of fans. In addition to his strength, it is the way he speaks. He will express his own opinions, but will not immediately deny others.

Views.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If someone comes to ask for advice and Liu Mang thinks something is wrong, Liu Mang will say it, but if it is to express his own opinion, then Liu Mang will not deny it.

Negating others will definitely make others feel dissatisfied, and there is no benefit in denying others. Just let it go and express your own thoughts. Whether the other party accepts it or not is one thing. This is a matter of politeness.

What Liu Mang said was fine with the other five people.

James nodded: "I understand, thank you Ace."

Wade, Bosh, and Milicic were also thoughtful.

Anthony didn't speak, but he seemed to have disagreements with the other four top five picks of the 2003 generation. He didn't take Liu Mang's words seriously and seemed to be prepared to follow his own ideas.

Liu Mang didn't say anything. He probably knew why the original four top five picks of the 2003 generation, except Milicic, had such a good relationship. In the end, only Anthony did not play together. The gap in thinking and philosophy was too big.

Anthony is more of a traditional player, while the other players have more modern thinking.

After confirming Liu Mang's behavior, there was a forerunner, and the four of them, Jianweibomi, had their own plans.

After saying sorry, James took a few brothers to eat some healthy food. There were some league activities in the afternoon that needed them, the rookies.

Wade left last and was left behind by Liu Mang. It was time for a private conversation.

"Dwyane, if you are sure that you like Miami and want to stay there for a long time, you can leave the contract issue to Jeff. You don't want to always think about saving money for the Heat. That's what you deserve." Liu Mang

Said to Wade.

"Boss Ace, I know you do your best for me, but if I reduce my salary a little to have more opportunities to get good teammates, I can accept it." Wade was a little touched.

"No, I'm not thinking about you, I'm just trying to get more commission. The commission on your salary is the company's money. When I retire and hand over the company to Jeff, I will get a share of it," Liu Mang said.

Very serious, Wade sounded like he was joking, but he was serious.

Wade can earn almost 200 million in salary and 6 million US dollars in commissions during his career, and there is a lot of money after tax. Although he can only get one-third of it from the agreement with Schwartz, and one-third is

One-third of the company's funds were Schwartz's commission. The final estimate Liu Mang received was seven to eight million U.S. dollars, but it was still money... Liu Mang couldn't bear the thought of Wade being cheated so much by Pat Riley.

, I have my own share of the pitted money...

Wade felt it was funny and heartbreaking at the same time, how could there be such a company boss!

…

…

After lunch, Levia, along with Dinah and Christine Wagner who were protecting Alexia, went shopping together. They all came to Denver and had to buy something. All-Star Weekend brought more than just

It’s a competition and peripheral sales, and many big brands are taking this opportunity to make money.

In the afternoon, Liu Mang went to promote Facebook, which was about to launch business across the United States.

Facebook's publicity has basically not aroused any response. Now it is only commonly used by college students. Before the server was opened, only those with university student IDs could use it.

Liu Mang publicized that he had invested another two million US dollars this year for equipment expansion. He didn't care about anything else. He would just wait until Facebook reaches its peak in market value and sell the shares before it declines.

In the evening, Liu Mang took San Niu and his bodyguard to watch the rookie game.

This rookie game is a bit boring. The first-year players saw the opposite lineup of James, Wade, Anthony, Bosh, and Milicic. Most of them had no intention of playing. There were four All-Star substitutes in it.

Shit!

The first-year players who performed best were the players from the Hawks and Bulls. The lineup of Iguodala, Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Josh Smith, and Howard performed well.

The rookie showed off his excellent physical fitness, and Howard also wanted to join. Unfortunately, neither the Bulls players nor the Eagles players wanted to play with Howard.

Ben Gordon is also from Liu Mang's company, and has a good relationship with Iguodala and Josh Smith. The grievances between the two teams on the court did not extend to off the court. Even if they were together, Liu Mang did not affect these relationships.

However, the other four top five picks in the 2003 generation played very hard because Anthony did not enter the All-Star Game. The point difference opened to more than 20 points from the beginning, in order to help Anthony win the rookie game MVP.

In the end, the sophomore team defeated the rookie team 152-129. Anthony, who scored 38 points, won the MVP of this rookie game as expected.

…

When it was time for the three events on the second day, Liu Mang participated in the roundtable meeting at noon. In the afternoon, he and McGrady, James, and Wade were assigned to go to a school for disabled youth in Denver to express condolences.

In the evening, I went to see Bosh make a miracle shot from the middle line in the Shooting Star Challenge.

Bosh is really suitable for this game. The shooting star was originally very interesting, but now he feels like he will be destroyed by Bosh.

The championship of the three-point contest was won by Quentin Richardson of the Suns. Without the participation of Liu Mang, Payton, and Peja, the attention of the three-point contest plummeted.

The skill challenge championship was contested between Nash and Kidd. Nash won the victory with an absolute advantage. As for the layup, Kidd made it 4 times... In other aspects, the two were almost the same.

The slam dunk contest championship was won by Liu Mang's teammate Josh Smith. The three girls were resting in the hotel, and Liu Mang came to watch the three events alone just to cheer for Josh Smith.
To be continued...
