In the Brandy restaurant.

Abel smiled and said to Dayao: "Are you still used to living in the United States?"

Young Dayao smiled honestly: "Fortunately, people here take good care of me."

Dayao is talking about CAA's agent.

In CAA, although Abel only holds about 36% of the shares.

But this share has allowed him to firmly become the chairman.

After he became the boss of MGM and gained his current social status and reputation.

Invisibly, it also strengthened his status in CAA.

Now even if Abel's shares are lowered some.

The shareholders of CAA will most likely still let him be the chairman.

In the United States, Abel has become a famous brand in the famous brand effect to a certain extent.

This also makes his influence on CAA unprecedentedly large.

Bigger than founder Michael Ovitz.

The shareholders of CAA are not so stupid to prevent such a big boss from becoming the chairman.

It is precisely for this reason.

Abel didn't have to do anything to CAA, but his influence on CAA was growing day by day.

Therefore, we only need to let CAA's agent know that Abel attaches great importance to Dayao.

Naturally, the attitude of these fine people towards Dayao became very good.

Moreover, after Abel took control of CAA and Michael Ovitz returned to the company.

In addition to continuing to maintain its original entertainment agency business, caa.

Currently, we are also vigorously developing the brokerage business in sports events.

The four major leagues in the United States are a feast not to be missed, and the NBA is naturally the focus of CAA's attention.

Since the boss attaches so much importance to this Chinese man.

In addition, the company would originally focus on developing the NBA business.

CAA also pays special attention to Dayao.

Just a reminder - Dayao's main agent is the same as Scarlett Johansson's main agent.

That's Mr. Derek Wright.

This is a person in charge named by Abel for Dayao.

Because Abel knew that Derek Wright was very smart and could judge his intentions.

After understanding Abel's intentions, Derek Wright naturally took good care of Dayao's life in the United States.

So much so that young Chinese people have a good impression of this capital country.

It made Dayao feel that capitalists are so gentle.

Little Giant doesn't know that this is just because there is a super capitalist who pays more attention to him.

Only other small capitalists, or lackeys of capitalists, would take him so seriously.

"It's good if you can adapt." Abel smiled and nodded. He looked at Yao's body shape and said, "You look too thin. It may be okay in your country, but not in the NBA. The NBA is full of muscular guys.

, too thin and too easily injured.”

Dayao also knew this.

Dayao came to the United States with no income, and he didn't even sign a contract.

Derek Wright has been funded and named by the CAA.

Within a few days, a professional physical trainer and nutritionist were found for Dayao.

This part of the fee is euphemistically called early investment, and CAA is paid out first.

Later, when Dayao has income, it will be deducted from his income.

This kind of treatment is only available to Dayao, who is personally appointed by the boss.

Michael Ovitz signed and supported it, and the giant Buddha of Abel stood behind it.

Even if someone in CAA has an idea, they don't dare to put it forward.

"I am already gaining muscle and weight, and I am receiving the guidance of nutritionists and trainers here." Dayao said honestly.

Abel smiled and nodded again.

Next, Abel didn't know what to say.

Let’s talk about basketball. Actually, Abel doesn’t like basketball that much.

Abel before his rebirth preferred football, while the original Abel Smith liked baseball.

In terms of basketball, Abel before his rebirth, during his junior high school and high school years, happened to coincide with Yao Yao's time in the NBA.

He and his classmates watched it together, were fascinated together, and enjoyed the atmosphere together.

In other words, Abel’s memories of basketball and the NBA all come from Dayao.

It was precisely because of this feeling that when he bought his own basketball team, he thought of bringing Dayao over in advance.

This can be regarded as a kind of sentiment for Abel.

For ordinary people, it probably starts when they grow up and work and get their first salary.

When you have money, you will want to buy back the toys you bought when you were a child because you had no money.

But after buying it back, I found that apart from feelings, I no longer needed this toy.

After realizing this, Abel directly asked Alan Baker next to him to call George Postellos, the current general manager of the Houston Rockets.

The current general manager of the Rockets is not that thunderous yet.

George Postellos joined the Rockets in October 1998 and is responsible for all aspects of business management.

In the process of Abel's acquisition of the Houston Rockets, George Postelos was also taken over by the team.

Abel did not have the right talent on hand at the time.

In addition, under a stingy boss like Alexander, George Postellos can still make the Rockets profitable, which is already a good management talent.

Abel did not let George Postellos leave, but let him continue to serve as the general manager of the Rockets.

Abel wanted to see Dayao today, but in fact George Postellos had already been waiting outside.

As soon as the call was made, George Postellos walked in respectfully.

Abel didn't know George Postellos either, but the other party knew him.

After confirming that this is the general manager of the Rockets.

Abel pointed directly at Dayao, which made the latter a little at a loss.

"The tall man sitting in front of you is the cornerstone of my Rockets team for the next ten years."

Abel said to George Postellos:

"His mission is to serve as the cornerstone of the team and fight for the Rockets."

"My mission is to stand behind you and provide you with support including but not limited to financial support."

"And you, George, your task is to match him with players and other configurations that can win the championship. Can you do it? George."

George Postellos was deeply surprised at how much his boss paid attention to this Chinese man.

On coming in, even before that.

George Postellos has already seen Dayao's information.

To be honest, George Postellos watched it.

The general manager of the Rockets thinks that besides height.

Compared with many NBA rookies this season, Dayao's conditions in all aspects can only be regarded as some outstanding statistics at best, and generally passable.

In other words, Dayao is not the best in terms of statistics.

What's more, Dayao in 2001 had one year less experience in the CBA than he did in 2002.

He is indeed more youthful and less capable.

But reality is reality, and the boss’s will is the boss’s will.

Compared with the two, George Postellos naturally pays more attention to the will of his boss.

"Understood. I can do it." George Postellos said to Abel seriously:

"I will definitely create a system for Yao that is most suitable for him! It will definitely bring good results to the Rockets!"
