Almighty Coach

"Century War: Kevin Taylor returns to the top!" 》

In the latest issue of boxing magazine, the cover is the photo of Taylor holding up the gold belt after winning.

"The picture was taken really well, the angle was very good, from the bottom up, Taylor was taken like a throne king." Ayers put down the magazine and re-examined Li Dai: "Last time I told you, consider How's it going? "

"What did you say last time?" Li Dai did not react for a moment.

"Just find a dedicated manager." Ayres said.

"You are referring to that thing! I thought it through. You are right. I do need a dedicated manager here. In the future, I will expand the size of the training center, or open a few branches, just by me. People can't do it, "Li Dai said with a long sigh, and then said:" But there are not many talents in this area, just knowing management is not enough, and you need to have an understanding in sports. So look for it slowly. It ’s not asking, and I ’m not in a hurry. "

"If you need such a manager, I have a personal choice to recommend to you." Iris continued.

Lee Dayton suddenly became interested. Iris was a legendary boxing coach anyway. He has also accumulated a lot of connections in the past few decades. The person he recommended is definitely more reliable than the one Steven recommended before.

Seeing Li Dai's expression of interest, Ayres continued: "One of my former disciples, his name is Randy Blake, I don't know if you have heard of him."

"Your disciple, is a boxer?" Li Dai asked.

"Twenty years ago." Alice's eyes showed a nostalgic color, and he continued: "In fact, Blake should be one of my worst disciples, the boxer I coached, more or less. I got the gold belt of the boxing champion, but this Randy Blake, in his several years of professional life, turned out to be nothing! Now I look back and think it is quite shameful. "

"Blake loves sports. He used to want to play rugby, but his legs were a little short; he also wanted to play basketball, but his arms are not very long; he also has some shortsightedness, which also limits him in baseball. The development. In the end he chose to be a boxer, but unfortunately, he does not have a very amazing talent in boxing, even if I can not let him get a gold belt. "

"After Blake retired, I worked as an assistant coach for a while. He hopes to transform into a boxing coach. This is the choice of many boxers after retirement. However, he has no talent in coaching. Coach. So he returned to college and read a management degree. "

"Later he became a sales agent for protein powder and health products of a certain brand, and he did a very good job, but he was still unable to give up sports, so in recent years, he changed his career to explain sports games, although it is just a little Small commentary. Fortunately, he knows a lot of sports, track and field, boxing, basketball, rugby, baseball, tennis ... so he has many opportunities to explain the game.

"I personally think that Blake is a good training center for you. He has sales experience, understands various sports, and has a certain network of connections in sports. He may not be an excellent athlete or coach, but I think he will become a successful manager. "

"And Blake's asking price should not be very high, you know, professional boxers are very profitable, even if he didn't get any gold belt that year, but this does not affect his making a lot of money from professional boxing . So salary is not important to him. He should now prefer to do something he is interested in. He wants a stage where he can show his talents. "

Li Dai nodded: "It sounds like a very good person. Since it is recommended by you, let him try it! But the ugly words are at the beginning. If he fails, I will drive him away. . "

...

Steven has a large collection of sports magazines on hand. He reads them in turn. Almost every sports magazine will have a manuscript introducing Taylor, not to mention sports magazines that are more boxing-focused. .

"Kevin Taylor, he is now 33 years old. It's really hard to imagine that a 33-year-old boxer can return to the top!" Steven sighed and opened another magazine.

This magazine also has an entire page to cover Taylor, but the angle of coverage of this magazine is different from that of other sports magazines. The focus of this magazine report is on Taylor's income in this "Century War".

"In this game, Taylor's appearance fee is as high as 20 million US dollars. This is not surprising. His appearance fee ten years ago can reach this price. The game bonus is 100 million US dollars, according to the traditional practice of six or four cents, The winning Taylor can be divided into 60 million US dollars! There are other share income, which is a huge sum of money ... Damn, I almost became Taylor ’s agent not long ago. If I were really Taylor ’s agent, I Now it can be divided into tens of millions of dollars! Without becoming Taylor's agent, this is the most failed decision in my life. "

Steven suddenly felt that he had lost the biggest income of his life. He had been Philip ’s agent for such a long time, but he only earned millions of dollars, which was not as good as Taylor ’s agent in a boxing match. many.

Steven regretted it very much. At first, he really had the opportunity to become Taylor's agent, but when he knew that Taylor's more than 20 million banks owed money, Steven flinched. He thought that a career In the last stage of the overwhelming champion, the remaining commercial value is no longer enough to offset the debts exceeding USD 20 million. But I didn't expect that Taylor had revived, and returned to the top of the boxing world, once again becoming the super boxer who can earn 100 million in a game.

"Maybe I can still try to remedy it. So far, I haven't heard that Taylor has found a new agent. I should try again!"

...

Li Dai took Randy Blake to walk around the training center and then returned to the office.

"Blake, what do you think of me here?" Li Dai said as he handed Blake a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

"Thank you." Blake took the coffee cup, and then said: "To be honest, I don't think it's enough to do marketing. Your training center brought Kevin Taylor back to the top, so Taylor is your sharpest. Your weapon, but you did not use him well. "

"I hung Taylor's poster at the door and printed him on the flyer ..." Li Dai explained in a low voice.

"This is far from enough. Let me give you an analogy, and give you a sniper rifle, but you use it as a stick. Maybe it will be smooth to use the sniper rifle as a stick, but that is not the correct way to use the sniper rifle. Use the power of a sniper rifle. "Blake said.

"Oh, I see. There is a saying in our country called killing chickens with cattle knives, which is probably a metaphor for my current situation." Li Dai said.

Blake went on to say: "The whole world knows Kevin Taylor, so you need to use his reputation and his advertising effects to let more people know your training center. This is not just a banner. Distributing flyers is so simple, you need a series of promotional plans, including media interviews, online marketing, etc. "

"For example, in the media, you can arrange an interview with Taylor. In the interview, you can introduce the training situation after Taylor's comeback and talk about how he returned to the peak. This interview, although it is to introduce Taylor, but unconsciously, is also marketing yourself, marketing your training center; for another example, you can send clips of Taylor training videos online from time to time, pick some more exaggerated, easy to attract eye-catching projects, in In the video, you can put something with the name of your training center in an inconspicuous position. This is an advertising placement, so that when people watch the video, you will also see your promotion here invisible. "

"Also, you can ..."

Blake talked about his opinions endlessly, and Li Dai was like a student, listening carefully and taking a record. At this time, Li Dai felt that this Randy-Blake really was A very suitable candidate for CEO.

...

"Mr. Taylor, I know you haven't found a new agent yet. You might as well consider me!" Steven said with a smile on his face and handed a towel to Taylor.

"Steven, thank you for your kindness. I'll tell you the truth. I don't plan to find an economic man anymore." Taylor said.

"Why? You really need an agent. You are back to the top. You are now the most commercial heavyweight champion. I can help you find a lot of top advertising endorsements, which can bring you Hundreds of millions of income. "Steven said.

"I ’m not going to pick up any endorsements for advertising. My reputation is not very good. You also know this. I think advertisers will definitely have more and more complicated considerations when choosing me as an endorser. My history It ’s not brilliant, maybe the sponsor will put forward some inexplicable conditions, I do n’t want to be bound by the various conditions of the sponsor. "

Taylor wiped the sweat from his head, and then said: "Now, I just want to test boxing to make money. The boxer's income is very high. I can earn tens of millions of dollars in a game, according to this trend. , I saved enough money for the rest of my life. "

What Taylor said is a matter of fact. In the eyes of the sponsor, Taylor is a person with a "criminal history", so the advertisers will come to him for endorsement and will definitely put forward some additional conditions. For example, it is impossible to do anything that affects the sponsor ’s brand image. Once Taylor does something that affects the sponsor ’s brand image, not only will he get nothing, but he may also be sued by the sponsor for damages.

This kind of additional terms doesn't matter to the good-baby athletes. They don't make any mistakes anyway, but for Taylor, it's hard to guarantee that he will do something stupid one day.

But now Taylor, in Steven's eyes, is going to leave the US dollar. Where can he give up easily, so he went on: "Taylor, no one would think that there is too much money. You really have a lot of playing fees and bonuses for playing games, enough Ordinary people spend several lives, but who does n’t want a better life? A better life requires more money. Now that you have the ability to make more money, why not do it? After a few years, you I ’m getting older and want to retire. Even if I want to make money, I do n’t have that ability. "

Taylor shook his head: "I'm satisfied with my situation now. I'm planning to make some low-risk investments. I'm on Wall Street, I met several reputable financial advisors, and gave them money. The gains. I used to take away almost all of the property from James Golden Pit, so forgive me for offending. Now, I really do n’t trust the broker. "

"I ’m not the kind of **** of James King. I am an ethical broker. I will only ask for the share that belongs to me. If you do n’t believe it, you can ask Philip, I have never blackened him for a penny. "Steven continued.

"Forget it, I don't want to share a portion of the income with the broker." Taylor shook his head firmly.

"Another part? What do you mean?" Steven grabbed the point of the sentence.

Taylor smiled. He shrugged and continued, "I now have 20% of my income. I want to pay coach Li as a training fee. You see, I have lost 20% of my income. To the broker. "

"What? Coach Li can get 20% of your income?" Steven was shocked. He knew it was tens of millions of dollars without counting it.

So Steven immediately asked: "Why can Coach Li get your 20% income?"

"I signed this contract with him while I was in the suspension period." Taylor said with a simple smile. "At the time, I felt that he was doing charity, and he was willing to help a broken life." Boxer, but now it seems that his choice is correct. But this is what he deserves. Without Coach Lee, there will be no current me. If he wants to, I can give him more points. . "

There was no dissatisfaction in Taylor's tone, and his speech was more of a gratitude.

Taylor is a clear man. Although he doesn't know what method Li Dai used, he knows that without Li Dai, he can't have a peak body. He knows that without Li Dai, "White Devil" Ayres has long been a Hopkins coach, and he has no chance of defeating Hopkins and getting two world-class gold belts.

...

Leaving the training center, Steven sits in his car, and the more he thinks about it, the less it tastes.

"Twenty percent of the income, that's 20%! What is my share as an agent? The athlete's competition bonus is ~ www.readwn.com ~ 10% of the advertising endorsement. Oh my God, this Li Dai makes more money than me How can there be such a coach, not a fixed training fee, but the athlete's income share! "

"By the way, besides Taylor, there is Philip, 5% of Philip's income, and he has to enter Li Dai's pocket! He is just a coach. Does he think he wants too much?"

Steven at this time, the extreme imbalance in his heart. Thinking of the revenue share of tens of millions of dollars, and the future share, he feels that a large piece of cake snatched by Li Dai, even this piece of cake is not his own.

"I ca n’t control Taylor, but Steven ’s 5% should have belonged to me! I have to find a way to get him back. Yes, I ’m going to talk to Li Dai about the contract again, about the 5% contract. ! Otherwise ... "Steven became more and more angry, he couldn't help but stopped the car, and then took out his phone and looked up a phone number.

"Hello, hello, is it AP Fitness Training Center? My name is Steven, I am the agent of 'Blade Philippe' Barron Philip ... Yes, it is the disabled athlete Philip who lost his legs ... Yes In this way, Philip's fitness training contract is about to expire. He is very interested in your AP fitness training center ... Yes, I think we can make an appointment and sit down and talk seriously ... "
