Chen Jie wants to form a brokerage team, but there are still many problems.
First of all, there is the contract issue between Chen Jie and Fagan.
Chen Jie and Fagan signed a five-year agency contract.
Neither party may break the contract before it expires.
Of course, this is only what is written in the contract. In fact, breaking the contract is also possible, and it is nothing more than paying a termination fee. NBA players fire their agents too often.
But firstly, it is a pity that Chen Jie wasted the contract break money in vain. Secondly, when he was his agent, Feigen was still very responsible, and Chen Jie did not have any unpleasantness with Feigen.
Chen Jie's dismissal of Fagan is somewhat unjustifiable.
However, Fagan still has many players, and he may not be able to serve Chen Jie one-on-one.
That's the problem.
However, in fact, there is a solution to this problem.
That is to let Fegen help Chen Jie form a team of brokers, lawyers, business consultants and other roles. Fegen will be the general person in charge. In that case, everyone in the team except Fegen will
Serving Chen Jie alone, but Fei Gen can't do one-on-one service, it doesn't matter.
Of course, these are just thoughts in Chen Jie's mind right now.
It is necessary to form a brokerage team, but Chen Jie still needs to plan how to form it.
He can consult his friends, and of course, he can also discuss it with Li Ming'er.
Now, Chen Jie's first priority is to solve the New York Times incident.
After all, this can be said to be the biggest crisis Chen Jie has encountered since entering the alliance.
After sitting down, Fagan was the first to speak.
"What do you mean, Jay, about the press conference?"
Fagan looked at Chen Jie and asked such a question.
Chen Jie glanced at Selena. He knew that this suggestion was made by Selena, so Chen Jie asked directly: "Can you tell me the reason for holding a press conference?"
Chen Jie’s question is a natural one to ask.
Selena didn't have much resistance and explained to Chen Jie calmly: "The press conference is a very formal occasion after all. As soon as the New York Times report came out, various media outlets had different speculations and attitudes, and each had their own opinions.
We cannot answer all the questions one by one, so holding such a press conference can express our attitude at once. Officially speaking, a press conference is a way to seek the media’s response to a certain event.
Or an effective communication method for objective and fair reporting of events. I want to say that you should understand something?"
Chen Jie nodded. Although Selena didn't say much, the most important meaning was expressed.
That is formality and effective communication.
If it were an off-court interview, the media would misinterpret many of Chen Jie's answers, take them out of context, and even think that Chen Jie was perfunctory.
What Chen Jie said at the press conference will be seen by all social media. Even if someone wants to misinterpret it, no one will believe their words.
Moreover, no one would think that Chen Jie was lying if he said what he said.
To take a step back, even if Chen Jie is lying, they cannot deny it as long as they have no evidence.
Of course, this is not the whole reason.
Selena continued: "Moreover, after holding such a press conference and expressing our attitude, if anyone still misunderstands us, we can sue them for defamation. Mr. Sanders can explain this to you!
"
"That's right. From a legal perspective, that's true." Sanders nodded when he heard Selena's words.
"You mean, a press conference can resolve this matter?" Chen Jie asked naively.
Selena couldn't help but complain in her heart.
However, she still replied: "Of course it is impossible. However, holding a press conference will, after all, play a positive role in resolving this matter."
After saying this, she seemed to be afraid that Chen Jie would misunderstand that this matter could be solved easily. Selena quickly said: "Besides, the press conference is not that simple. We still need to discuss what to do when the time comes.
The attitude expressed, regarding the three women in the report and the official reasons for your competition status, of course, this official refers to us. If you can still provide evidence, that would be the best!"
After hearing Selena's words, Chen Jie realized that he was thinking too simply.
He nodded to show he understood.
At this time, Fagan said: "So, Jay, what do you mean?"
"Okay!" Chen Jie said, but he immediately added: "I have a game tomorrow night, and I don't want to be affected by the press conference!"
"Of course not. If we want to hold a press conference, it should be at noon tomorrow!"
Fagan explained.
"That's good. Then it's decided!" Chen Jie said.
"Very good, then, next, we should discuss whether to invite those media to participate!" Fagan raised the first topic.
This topic is not too difficult.
Which media should be invited? Of course, influential media in the United States should be invited.
Moreover, it would be best to invite some influential TV stations to broadcast the press conference live.
For some ordinary players, these media may not give them face.
But for a player of Chen Jie's level, he definitely doesn't need to worry about this issue when he holds a press conference about this New York Times report.
In fact, many media still need to worry about whether they will receive invitations.
After discussing this issue, the next step is to discuss the venue issue.
This problem is not difficult. The Wisney Hotel happens to have a press conference room, and Fagan just happens to be able to rent it.
The venue, time, and personnel issues have all been resolved.
Fagan quickly called his staff to prepare.
The remaining issues have nothing to do with the organization of the press conference.
The next thing to discuss is exactly how Chen Jie should answer reporters' questions during the press conference, and how Selena, as Chen Jie's temporary spokesperson, should word her speech tomorrow.
In fact, holding a press conference in such a short time is not an easy task.
Simply because Fagan's agent team is very capable, and Chen Jie's influence is also great, it should be able to be solved after the entire team is put into operation.
As for Chen Jie, Fagan and Selena, they can completely ignore those trivial matters and concentrate on studying tomorrow's press conference.
Before that, Fagan had another question.
That question, Fagan asked Sanders to say.
"Mr. Jayshawn, the New York Times report has had a lot of impact on your life and reputation. What I want to ask you is, do you want to sue them?" Sanders asked.
"Prosecution?" Chen Jie was stunned. He had never thought about this issue before.
"Is that okay?" Chen Jie, who has only lived in the United States for three years, seems a little unaccustomed to such a system.
"Of course. Jones's unsubstantiated report and the New York Times' irresponsible publication have had a very bad impact on your reputation. Of course you can sue them for defamation! You don't have to worry about trouble. All you have to do is nod to this matter.
.I can handle the whole process for you!”
After hearing what Sanders said, Chen Jie was moved.
He has a special hatred for the New York Times and reporter Jones. Now that there is a way to punish them, how can Chen Jie give up?
Moreover, there is no need to worry about how it will affect him, so why not Chen Jie.
Thinking this, Chen Jie nodded: "Okay. Then sue them!"
"Okay!" Sanders nodded.
Seeing Chen Jie's happy look, Selena couldn't help but want to pour cold water on him.
"Don't be too happy. It's not certain whether the lawsuit will be successful. Although you can sue them, it doesn't mean you can win the case. As for getting compensation, there's no need to hold out hope for the time being. Maybe.
A lawsuit will turn into a wrangling dispute!"
After Selena said this, she thought Chen Jie would be disappointed.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jie was very open-minded.
"It's okay, I don't care about compensation. I'm happy if I can cause trouble for them. Come on, Sanders, I'm optimistic about you!" Chen Jie said to Sanders.
Chen Jie, who originally thought he couldn't sue, would be great if he got this opportunity. Who cares about anything else?
Selena couldn't help but feel disappointed when she saw that Chen Jie was not disappointed.
After saying this, Fagan, Selina, Chen Jie and the others began to formally study the wording for tomorrow.
The first thing they talked about was the recent issue, which was how to explain to the media that Ivanka and Jessica came to Chicago.
Chen Jie was stunned when he heard Fagan's question: "Jessica is here, and they don't know yet?"
"I just don't know yet!" Selena reminded.
"Then let them never know!" Chen Jie gritted his teeth.
Selena was speechless.
Fagan has dark lines on his face.
Do you really think you can hide it from everyone?
But at this time, Fagan could only complain. He coughed dryly and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal to let the media know. Selena and I have already thought of an explanation, but we still need you and Ivanka
Jessica needs some air!”
"What statement?" Chen Jie asked in surprise.
"Ivanka and Jessica are very good friends. You can tell the media that the two of them coming to Chicago have nothing to do with you. When the media asks you this question, just blame Jessica.
and Ivanka. When the media asks them, they can definitely say that they have made an appointment to come to Chicago to relax together. I believe the media will not be able to come up with this excuse!" Selena said.
Hearing Selena's words, Chen Jie's eyes lit up.
Good idea!
He looked at Selena, he really didn't expect that this woman who only knew how to fight against him could have such ability.
Seemingly understanding the meaning of Chen Jie's eyes, Selena reminded lightly: "I'm just completing my work!"
Chen Jie nodded and did not say any words of thanks.
Once this matter is resolved, what remains is how to define the relationship between Ruth Jessica and Ivanka and Chen Jie.
It's okay for Ivanka and Jessica. As long as Chen Jie insists that they are just friends, there is nothing the media can do.
The key to the problem lies in Ruth. It lies in the secretly photographed photo of Chen Jie and Ruth.
Of course Fagan and Selina knew that it was because Chen Jie wanted to take Ruth away from the wine, so they held Ruth's hand.
But how to explain it to the media?
Did you say you met a basketball hooligan?
Will the media believe it?
Chen Jie couldn't produce any evidence either.
"It's okay to talk about going for a drink. You had a conflict with Ruth before, and many people saw it. You can explain that you are apologizing to Ruth. This explanation is acceptable to many people. But when you met a basketball hooligan...
…Hey, it would be great if there was a witness!”
Fagan sighed.
Selena also nodded repeatedly.
When Chen Jie heard this, he also sighed.
Then, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"There are witnesses!" Chen Jie said happily.
Fagan and Selena looked at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie thought of the owner of the Cleveland Club. It seemed that although he was a Cleveland fan, he was not a bad person. That day, he also spoke up to stop those basketball hooligans.
I wonder if he would agree if asked to testify.
Chen Jie simply told Fagan and Selena about this person.
Selena's eyes also lit up.
“You can try it!”
Fagan said: "Then you have to find someone with weight!"
"I'll go!" Selena said.
"No, I'll go in person. You need to stay here. If I can't come back, the press conference can go on as usual. If you're not here, that won't work!" Fagan said.
This is the most critical issue. Once the witness issue is solved, more than half of this matter can be solved.
Of course Fagan takes it seriously. (To be continued...)
