69. David Falcao
If you change someone to practice like Pierce, and you are 18 years old, you will probably be useless.
But the immortal bird is the immortal bird, and Pierce has changed from a flexible fat man to an iron-blooded strong man...
In the evening, Pierce's mother made a sumptuous dinner and invited Zhang Hao and April Clark to go with her. The next morning, Pierce was urging her to go to the University of Kansas by her mother.
In the words of Pierce's mother, Pierce didn't choose UCLA, and she really wanted to beat him to death with a belt.
Zhang Hao and April Clark went to Southern California University and successfully completed the admission procedures.
After completing the admission procedures, Zhang Hao accompanied April Clark to buy a used car.
The cost of living in a university in the United States is about $6,000 a year, while the cost of living this year is $5,200. With the complicated costs, it will cost about $6,000 a year. Renting an apartment, such as the Pierce's apartment, is only $3,000 a year, which is twice the difference. The accommodation fee saved in a year is enough to buy a good used car for transportation.
The University of Southern California is less than 20 kilometers away from Inglewood, driving to school is much more cost-effective than living on campus.
After getting the admission matter, April Clark was busy going to school, but Zhang Hao was not in a hurry. April Clark was busy because he was a art student, so he had to know teachers, other classmates, and establish good relationships. On Zhang Hao's side, when he signed up for school, someone watched, and a reporter took photos...
The NBA negotiations broke down again, but the media generally predicted that an agreement will definitely be reached in the first half of September to avoid affecting the training camp that will begin in October.
Moreover, the NBA's procurement department and the procurement departments of each team have also released the bidding announcement and have begun to prepare for the new season.
During this suspension, Zhang Hao came to a conclusion from the information he learned, but both labor and capital showed their dissatisfaction directly.
Both sides have a basic purpose, which is to not negotiate or suspend the negotiations before the expiration of this labor-management agreement in 1998. It is a plan that both sides can retreat and can be temporarily satisfied, and to complete the remaining three years of the labor-management agreement first.
Because all the negotiations are based on the 1988 labor-management agreement, and there is no way to make a complete change. If you want to make huge changes to the labor-management agreement, you can only wait for 1998.
This is just a shutdown to vent the upset between labor and capital.
This also made Zhang Hao understand why later basketball fans knew little about the shutdown in 1995 because it was not important.
Zhang Hao's current plan is to go to class first. After practicing strength for more than a month, he also wants to slow down. He doesn't just rest. He goes to take professional courses and takes time to practice shooting every day, waiting for the team gathering day at the end of September and the training camp that will start on October 1.
Also, we need to take advantage of this period of time to find a lawyer and use anything in the future.
The Players Union contacted the announcement of recruiting agents was removed, and then the announcement of recruiting lawyers was issued.
Although players will get a salary commission and can earn money with the tax money entrusted by players every year, the Player Union is really useful. They will help with these troubles, and they have also established a fairly complete network of relationships over the past decades, which is convenient for everything.

Los Angeles Falcao Brokerage.
This was a once quite brilliant agency. When there were only more than 300 NBA players, they had more than 200 of them, and each team had at least half of the players under this agency.
During that period, the broker's salary commission rate was relatively high, reaching 15% at one point.
Among them, Falcao brokerage companies made the vast majority.
In 1991, when NBA players had an annual salary of $260 million, the company's annual income reached more than $27 million, exceeding 10% of the total annual salary of NBA players, of which $16 million is the player's salary commission.
The remaining more than 10 million income was Jordan's own endorsement dividend. After Jordan won the championship that year, the total endorsement income exceeded US$50 million, nearly a quarter of it was given to Falcao's agency.
In the three years from 1991 to 1993, Jordan gave David Falcao more than 50 million US dollars to endorse dividends.
There were rumors that Jordan retired before because he did not want to give so much money to his agent David Falcao every year, because the contract between Jordan and David Falcao is valid for players. After retiring, he had to sign a cooperation agreement again. During his retirement, Nike's dividend should be given as much as he should.
As the most successful athlete agency in the world in the past decade, Falcao brokerage company became in its peak after entering the 1990s. The league did not want to continue to see an agency with more than half of the players in the league. According to media reports in Detroit, three years ago, the Pistons suddenly fell from a 50-win team to unable to enter the playoffs. Rodman and the rest of the Bad Boys Legion had an internal strife, which was David Falcao's provocation behind the scenes. Although the Bad Boys Legion was no longer likely to continue to cause trouble for Jordan at that time, Rodman under David Falcao had conflicts with the rest of the Bad Boys Legion, which made Jordan's road to dominate the East District easier.
In 1993, when Jordan retired, the league stipulated a new salary commission ratio, which could not exceed 4% at most, directly cutting off more than half of its agents' income. In the previous season, the average salary commission ratio of all players in the league was close to 10%.
Of course, players' salaries were rising rapidly during that period, and the agents of players who had just signed a new contract did not have much impact.
But for agents who still have most players who have a salary of more than 100,000 US dollars a year, it seems that four percent of these players’ salary is optional. Perhaps one lawsuit is over, and the agency will have to pay for it. These days, the top players generally like to cause trouble. In the old agent contracts, there are terms that the agency has to help the players sue...
Among them, the David Falcao family's agency is the worst affected area. They once had more than half of the players in the league, and in fact, most of the low-paying players belong to their company.
More importantly, as players' salaries increased significantly, the league's control over agents increased. In the past, players were weak and agents were strong, the situation of quickly reversing. In the past, the agency had a strong power, and his style of acting naturally made many players dissatisfied.
Gradually, David Falcao's agency also declined, and the frequency of NBA players was updated is high. So far, David Falcao's agency has only more than 30 players left.
The point is that they have lost a crushing defeat in recent years with the official NBA!
David Falcao has seen the wrist of the old Jewish man in New York.
10 years!
It took Stern 10 years to gain the tycoon of the agent world.
And during this period, he took the initiative to cooperate with him and used Jordan to promote the NBA to the world.
Finally, it reached a critical juncture after Jordan retired, and he, the agent who used players to control the league, won the goal.
He even admired this skill.
However, David Falcao was not too frustrated with this. He didn't feel embarrassed to lose to a person like David Stern.
Anyway, during the period when players' salaries soared and endorsement fees soared, he had already made a lot of money from those players.
David Falcao is really having a headache now. He has a strong ability and is very good at speaking. Charles Banks, an agent who has signed several talented stars, ran to him to complain again.
In the past two days, Charles Banks ran to him to scold Zhang Hao, one of the two high school students' lottery shows this year, because Zhang Hao refused his interview request.
David Falke found it interesting to reject that sentence.
Banks are all scammers...
David Falke also felt that Charles Banks loves to brag and always makes promises to the players. It sounds nice but the probability of completing is extremely low, which is really no different from a liar.
The point is not this. David Falke knew why Charles Banks came to him to complain - he wanted him to give up the position of the boss of the agency because he had Glen Robinson's Banks, and the salary of the players under his command was the highest among all the agents of their agency, higher than his boss, because Jordan also had a salary of more than US$3 million, and his endorsement dividends were not his share. Garnett is also a player under Banks. The endorsement of 4 million yuan for a year, Ferbanks actually fooled Garnett to give him 1 million yuan a year.
Compared to him who was just fucked by David Stern, Banks is currently at the peak of his career in their company.
David Falke had another option, which was to let Banks go independently, so that Banks would not have to share the money to the company.
David Falke will definitely not make any choices.
Just drag it first...
Banks was scolding Zhang Hao, and his cell phone rang. After answering the phone, he was very happy and said, "The Chinese high school student removed the information about recruiting agents. It seems that he doesn't want an agent anymore. When he renews his contract, which team will send the player over if he has any intention of him..."
David Falcao was speechless when he heard Banks' words. This trick was very useful ten years ago, but now there are more and more connections between players. Maybe the relationship between players is much better than that between players and agents, and times have changed long ago.
But this has no effect on him, so it doesn't matter.
After sending away the chattering Banks, David Falcao thought of Jordan's training that he saw a few days ago...it can make trouble next summer!
For this reason, he has prepared to contact the sucker in New York. He must find someone to come forward for such a thing. He knows that he is hated by those teams. Now there are major events now, and he doesn't want to let himself appear in the eyes of the management of those teams, otherwise it will most likely be bad.
A few more days passed.
David Falcao is chatting with an official from the Players Union. The news from the other party that the league has chosen to make concessions and will not touch the current salary terms for the time being. The Players Union is also ready to make concessions and completely set the fixed salary of the rookie contract, on the condition that the rookie contract years must be limited, and the NBA will resume operations in an orderly manner...
As we chatted, the people from the Players' Union actually talked about Zhang Hao, which surprised David Falcao.
"David, the high school students are really exaggerating now. Garnett from your company has signed a three-year, 12 million endorsement contract. The high school student in China is going to cooperate with Starbucks to establish a branch in China..."
Chapter completed!
