Chapter 708 Let’s get straight to the point
Exactly twenty years ago, David Beckham was still playing for Manchester United.
At that time, this promising young handsome guy turned out to attract countless attention, and every move may cause countless waves. Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was worried that his disciple might be distracted, and repeatedly warned Beckham Mu needs to focus on the field.
Later, David Beckham and Vitoria Adams (Vitoria-Adams) met, and Sir Alex Ferguson immediately sounded the alarm. He was worried that the noise off the court might become an obstacle to Beckham's continued progress, and he quietly changed clothes. A seed of uneasiness was planted in the room.
Judging from the subsequent development of the story, Sir Alex Ferguson's concerns were gradually confirmed; but at the beginning of the matter, the lovebirds David Beckham and Victoria Adams did nothing wrong.
However, the reality is like this——
The tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop.
Things seem extremely simple, but they hide a complex core. Even if nothing happens, suspicion and worry still begin to breed.
Now, Levi finally understood the true meaning of this sentence.
He didn't do anything, but the trouble still came to him.
Levi glanced at the coaching staff. Reed was still as stable as a rock. There was no clue at all, and there was no way to start investigating.
Burns seemed to be aware of Levi's gaze, smiling with a beer belly, like a Maitreya Buddha, reassuring Levi with his eyes——
Coaching team, no need to worry.
Levi laughed dumbly and stopped thinking wildly. He stabilized his mind a little, recovered his scattered attention, turned around and devoted himself to today's recovery training, joking with the oncoming Houston.
Burns smiled broadly and stared at Levi's back, not worried at all.
With Burns on the coaching staff, there is no need to worry about Levi.
In Burns' view, Hunter is ambitious but lacks wisdom. He is a little impatient and easy to act too hastily. He may be able to grasp some context, but in the end he cannot see the overall situation and his eyelids are too shallow.
But Levi is different.
Levi is a truly smart man, which does not mean that he has no ambitions or desires, nor is he a saint; it means that he can see the overall situation and the future, and he knows how to choose between watermelon and sesame seeds.
Therefore, when Hunter said that Levi had been in close contact with the Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars in private and had revealed in the locker room that he was ready to restructure his contract in advance, Burns didn't believe a word of it——
That's stupid.
Burns didn't even bother to refute, nor did he rush to defend Levi.
When Reed asked Burns for his opinion, Burns did not vigorously defend Levi, but said with a half-smile, "That sounds interesting."
Clearly, Reed and Burns were of the same mind.
Not to mention that there is no need to panic because of Hunter's one-sided words. When it comes to contract negotiations and competing for interests, you still need to look at the essence through the phenomenon and grasp the key points to gain the upper hand in the game.
Reid, not so easily swayed.
Burns wasn't worried at all.
The training was done step by step, and it ended without anything special happening.
Vicky, who had been observing quietly at the edge of the court, found an opening and quietly came to Levi's side. Jones, who was standing aside, left on his own in a sensible manner. There was a trace of satisfaction in Vicky's eyes.
Levi thought that Vicki would send out an invitation, and the two sides should have a formal conversation no matter where it was; but the two people walked out of the training ground, and Vicki actually opened his mouth as if chatting.
"Patrick, is he okay? He was a little absent-minded in training today." Veach glanced at Mahomes, but his tone was not particularly worried.
Levi showed a smile, "He just needs some time."
Vicki raised his chin slightly to express his understanding, and then changed the subject to the point, "Are you starting to think about contract restructuring and salary benefits now?" He got straight to the point and hit the point——
What Vicky wanted was this effect, to catch Levi off guard.
In such situations, the sincerity of the players can often be tested.
Levi was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect Vicky to be so direct. Then a smile crept onto his lips and he shook his head, "No, now is not the time."
Vicki raised his head and looked at Levi, "Don't you want to renew your contract?"
Levi met Vicki's gaze calmly, "Of course." He admitted simply, "But not now, because I am looking forward to a big contract."
Vicky raised her eyebrows slightly——
This was the second time Levi repeated the same thing: now is not the time.
Vicky understood, and there was a look of interest in his eyes.
He doesn't believe Hunter's words either, at least not 100%. Putting aside the dizzying rumors within the league for the time being, Levi's agent has never made any move, which is the best proof.
Agent Levi also represents Brady and has extensive experience in negotiating top-level contracts. He knows how to seize the opportunity and measure the right amount.
Of course, it can be imagined now that he should be prepared to take a serious bite from the Kansas City Chiefs. The negotiation will not be easy, and Veach has no intention of thanking Levi's agent; but it also means that such a smart person will not hurt The enemy loses 800 by one thousand, so the game must be cautious and meticulous.
In front of him, Levi's reaction also confirmed Vicky's suspicion——
Hunter should be just pretending to be powerful.
What Levi seeks is not short-term gains, and he rushes to take a bite when he sees an opportunity or a gap; it is something that can truly shake up the alliance, so Levi remains patient and has been preparing for the storm.
Levi's confidence can also be seen from the side. He does not need to rush to seize the opportunity in front of him, because he believes that he can continue to output, not only this year, but even next season, he can also perform at the top level.
As long as Levi continues to be strong, it may not be Levi coming to ask for a contract reorganization. Instead, the Kansas City Chiefs will seize the opportunity to be the first to apply and restructure the contract before Levi's value continues to rise.
In contract negotiation, advantages and disadvantages are relative, not fixed, but fluid and changing all the time.
Hunter chose to exert his strength now, but after all, he was still too young and too impatient.
That's why Levi said that now is not the time.
While Vicky felt relieved, she also felt a little curious, "How old is it?"
How big is this contract?
Levi grinned, "Big."
It’s just one word, without any adverbs, but it shows ambition.
Vicky understood immediately, raised her chin slightly, and showed a hint of appreciation in her eyes.
But Vicky didn't say anything more and chatted with Levi for a few more words. Then he turned and left naturally without attracting much attention.
Everything is too simple and ordinary, only three or five sentences from beginning to end.
Not to mention other people, even Hunter, who has been paying close attention to Levi, is confused——
That's it?
Hunter thought that Vicky was going to have a long talk with Levi, but this was the result?
What is the difference from daily greetings?
What's going on?
