Chapter 445 Prepare for a Rainy Day
The atmosphere seemed to have relaxed, but it became tense again because of John's words. Judging from the expressions and postures of the two people next to him, I am afraid that it has leaked now, and the stiff smiles are almost maintained. Can't live.
Then, both people looked at Levi.
Various shapes and colors.
A man with sharp and angry eyes was obviously enforcing justice on John's behalf.
A panic-stricken person begged. If John hadn't been by his side, he would have knelt down directly. Please!
This is...interesting.
Levi couldn't help but become more and more curious about John's identity. Judging from the signs revealed in his words, John should be a tycoon at the level of Jerry Jones and James Dolan, and he obviously didn't like Jerry Jones.
But in the flash of lightning, Levi had to respond before he had time to think deeply.
"No."
"I mean, Jerry Jones is Jerry Jones and he represents a way of doing business, but obviously there are more successful professional teams in the world than just the Dallas Cowboys, which means we can take inspiration from that and go out of our way. road.”
"In the shopping mall, there are no eternal enemies and no eternal friends, only eternal interests."
"The same goes for professional sports. The lines between enemies and friends are far more blurred than you think."
Neither urgent nor slow, neither humble nor arrogant——
The two people next to him were already teetering on the edge of collapse, but Li Wei still calmly and calmly resolved the danger invisible.
John's eyes always fell on Levi, with a smile hanging on his elegant face, but just such a gaze made the air quietly tense in the silence, and the swords and swords were quietly surging.
Levi did not change his gaze or break the silence. He looked at John openly and openly, forming a confrontational stalemate from the front.
In the end, John was defeated.
"ha."
John smiled, and he raised his chin slightly, showing a look of appreciation.
"Indeed."
"Who knows, Madison Square Garden is still gnashing its teeth at Curry today, but if Curry announces his transfer to the New York Knicks tomorrow, it will be a completely different scene."
Levi looked at John carefully, "Are you referring to the Cleveland Cavaliers?"
LeBron James: Who? Who shoots an arrow in the back?
puff.
John couldn't control it anymore and laughed loudly. All the tension and undercurrents disappeared, and the whole space became cheerful.
Then.
John looked at Levi carefully and said, "You are indeed an interesting guy. Now I know why the media likes you."
Levi, "Like a juggler?"
John, "Haha, not all vaudeville artists can be Charlie Chaplin."
Levi, "I'm working on it."
John, "Come on. Maybe, next time you step on the Super Bowl stage, in addition to the game, you can also be busy on stage during halftime."
Levi's eyes widened, "Is this a blessing or a curse?"
John couldn't control himself again and burst into laughter.
Back and forth, there were twists and turns, and the conversation was very pleasant——
Although the process was somewhat dangerous, Levi managed to escape safely in the end.
Dolan was invisible throughout the whole process, but Levi and John completed a friendly meeting, so that the two people next to them had their jaws dislocated watching the scene in front of them, completely unable to believe that Levi could control the whole scene easily.
In fact, the secret is: ask for nothing.
Nervousness often comes from desire. If Levi knew the identity of the other party and hoped to show off himself, or hoped to gain a relationship to exchange benefits, his performance would not be so relaxed.
It is precisely because of ignorance and lack of desire that we can be so calm. Having said that, after leaving the VIP room, Levi dialed Donald Yu's phone and gave him a brief summary of the situation.
Swish, swish.
There was silence on the other end of the line, and Donald was thinking.
Levi was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
Then.
"...John-Mara. If I'm not mistaken, he's the one who fits all the descriptions."
Donald gave the answer.
"John Mara, owner of the New York Giants, uncle of Hollywood actors Kate Mara and Rooney Mara; Kate Mara's grandfather's team is owned by the Pittsburgh Steelers ”
It turned out to be the New York Giants.
Levi raised his chin slightly, "So the real purpose of going around in circles today is that the owner of the New York Giants wants to meet me?"
Therefore, Dolan did not appear from beginning to end.
Therefore, Mara came prepared in the VIP room.
"What, is he going to take me to New York?" Levi naturally completed the association.
Donald burst into laughter, "This is your career, are you sure it doesn't matter if you discuss it so casually?"
Levi shrugged lightly, "I don't have a say yet, at least not enough. I am just a bargaining chip in the league and may be traded at any time. If I want to have the initiative, I must show more outstanding performance. This It’s just reality and I don’t think it needs to be covered up or avoided.”
When Donald thought about it carefully, he was not surprised. This was the Levi he knew.
"Judging from the current situation, yes, they should have such an idea."
Donald nodded slightly.
"I guess your return to New York this time caused a sensation on social networks, and the topic traffic was beyond imagination. Because of the catch that eliminated the New England Patriots in the divisional round, New York even regarded you as Spider-Man."
"It just so happens that the New York Giants lack an idol. You know that the relationship between them and their main quarterback Eli Manning is very ugly this season. The entire league is almost entirely on Eli's side, regardless of whether Eli Manning will be there next season. Returning to New York, they both need a PR move to repair the damage."
"However, this is just my guess. I will inquire about the specific situation."
"What about you, what do you think?"
Levi was puzzled, "Me?"
Donald, "Yes, you. If the New York Giants really made an offer, would you be willing to go to New York?"
Of course, Levi knew that this was a hypothetical question——
Is there any transfer situation for rookies?
Yes, but not many.
A rookie contract is four years, and the annual amount is not high. It is just a drop in the bucket for NFL teams and is not a burden; so very few rookies will transfer during the contract period, and teams tend to make full use of the bonuses from rookie contracts to build A championship contending team.
Not to mention a rookie like Levi who performed well.
In other words, even if the New York Giants really make an offer, the Kansas Chiefs will reject it without hesitation; or even the New York Giants will not make an offer at all.
Therefore, what Donald is asking now is just Levi's tendency.
Levi didn't hesitate, "I'm happy in Kansas City."
Donald was not surprised, "Okay, I understand. Even if we stay in Kansas City, we should let Vicky and the entire league know your value."
It's still early for his rookie contract to end, but Donald has begun to seize any opportunity to lay the groundwork.
Donald has not forgotten that he hopes to get Levi a new running back contract that breaks the shackles and breaks history. This is his promise and his goal, and he is ready to achieve it.
If they want to subvert the entire league's prejudice and suppression of running backs, relying solely on Levi's Chinese identity is not enough, and Donald clearly knows this.
Everything is like playing chess. Before making a move, you must count ten moves.
