Popovich has always been a very cautious person when it comes to his players. After ensuring promotion, he immediately adopted extensive rotations in the next few regular season games.

Even a rookie like Xiang Jiang Hao got a good rest time.

The reason Popovich gave is that no matter how far we can go in the playoffs, we must be prepared.

A week later, all the games of the 2017-2018 regular season came to an end, and the battlefield was temporarily extinguished, but everyone knew that the playoff battlefield that was about to start would be even more intense.

Whether the so-called real gold is not afraid of fire will all be understood by then.

For Jiang Hao, with the advent of the playoffs, his life has become completely rushed.

During this period, Rich Paul often communicated with him, because when his regular season data was finally settled at 178 points and 41 assists per game, his commercial value unsurprisingly skyrocketed.

No, just this morning, Rich Paul rushed over from Los Angeles. The famous beverage brand Coca-Cola wanted to reach an endorsement cooperation with Jiang Hao, so they took the initiative to find Rich Paul.

Coca-Cola immediately offered Jiang Hao an endorsement fee of US$15 million over three years.

From Rich Paul's perspective, he has many star players, and even many of LeBron James's endorsement contracts are larger than this.

But he still felt incredible.

With a mouthful of 15 million US dollars, Rich Paul certainly knew that they were not only interested in Jiang Hao's NBA prospects, but also in the market behind Jiang Hao, but they had to take action immediately.

Because according to the employment agreement he signed with Jiang Hao, almost $500,000 of the $15 million was his, which was definitely a huge amount of income.

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Hao knows nothing about these commercial endorsements, but he knows that Rich Paul understands and will give him the most perfect suggestions.

"What I mean is that we can quote a higher price. You must know that the other party's first bid is so much. Also, I don't think we need to directly sign a three-year endorsement contract with them. I think two years will be enough."

"

Rich Paul is indeed very professional, and he is indeed based on Jiang Hao's interests. His suggestions are very practical in Jiang Hao's opinion.

"That's right, let's go and talk to them like this." Jiang Hao didn't trust the people he hired, but he didn't trust the people he hired. He left all the negotiation matters to Rich Paul.

That afternoon, good news came from Rich Paul's side. His negotiations with Coca-Cola were basically successful.

Of course, the cooperation period will ultimately be 3 years.

Coca-Cola is very smart. They know Jiang Hao's potential future value, so they would rather acquire Jiang Hao for 25 million in three years than 15 million in two years.

The next day, almost at the same time, both Jiang Hao and Coca-Cola announced that they had reached a cooperation request.

Many people are not surprised by this. They say that it is difficult for Chinese players to succeed in the NBA. This is indeed true. However, once Chinese players establish a foothold in the NBA, the rewards they receive are also very exaggerated.

Jiang Hao, who has performed well this season, is now in this situation.

Everyone believes that this is just the beginning. Next, Jiang Hao's commercial value will increase rapidly, and his wealth accumulation will definitely skyrocket at an exaggerated rate.

And this is only Jiang Hao's first season in the league.

After signing a cooperation agreement with Coca-Cola, Jiang Hao first cooperated with Coca-Cola to shoot several commercials in San Antonio. Coca-Cola attaches great importance to Jiang Hao. They hope to host Jiang Hao in New York or Los Angeles, and in China in the future.

Press conference.

But it can only be postponed. Jiang Hao must put more energy into the playoffs. Maybe these things can only be completed after the playoffs are over.

Jiang Hao owned his first car in his life, which was given to him by Coca-Cola. Although there was a certain gap compared with those million-dollar luxury cars, Jiang Hao felt that it was very good. He was not a luxury car enthusiast.

Rich Paul was ambitious enough that he had a relatively formal conversation with Jiang Hao at Jiang Hao's home the next day.

Rich Paul told Jiang Hao straightforwardly that he was not satisfied with the role of Jiang Hao's American agent. He hoped that he could become Jiang Hao's exclusive spokesperson and that he would be the agent for all of Jiang Hao's domestic business cooperation.

To this end, he is willing to reduce a certain percentage of commission.

"Rich, why do you have to do this? As far as I know, you have never had such business experience. In other words, it's not that I don't trust you, but that you don't understand China."

In fact, Jiang Hao has been abroad for so many years and doesn't know much about China, but he does know that China is a humane society, which is even more obvious in business activities.

Rich Paul has always accepted American culture from Xiong Tao, who feels that it is difficult for Rich Paul to handle domestic affairs.

To a certain extent, this is not just a matter of strong professional ability.

"Jiang, I know what you are worried about, but you and I both know that this is an era of globalization, and the same is true for commercial sports. I don't want to stay in the NBA forever. Maybe in the eyes of many people, I, Rich Paul, am already very

I succeeded, but I am not satisfied. As I said when we first met, I am not just a profit-seeking villain. I hope that one day, my company will spread all over the world."

"China is a magical country. I admit that it is a big challenge for me there, but I hope you can give me this opportunity."

Rich Paul's perversion made Jiang Hao a little moved.

He had almost never seen such a person.

Therefore, the final result was that Jiang Hao agreed to Rich Paul's request and made him his exclusive agent.

However, when signing the contract, Jiang Hao added a clause that if Rich Paul could not satisfy him, he had the right to terminate the cooperation at any time.

Rich Paul seemed very excited when he reached a new cooperation with Jiang Hao, and directly exposed the news on his social networking site.

And this once again makes many people envious. In this era when the NBA is very popular in China, if Rich Paul embraces Jiang Hao, the benefits he will get will be unimaginable.

And what is certain is that if his cooperation with Jiang Hao is successful, then Rich Paul will be the first choice of many professional players in China and Asia.

People are lamenting that Rich Paul is so lucky. First he relied on LeBron James to rise rapidly, and now he relies on Jiang Hao to further enhance his status.
