As Yao Ming's agent, Bill Duffy was fully involved in the entire negotiation process, during which he learned a Chinese phrase:
"I've become more knowledgeable."
In fact, things got pretty big back then, even the NBA Players Association got involved.
Even the capitalists were shocked, so it was possible to exploit people like that?
It just shows, sometimes, you lose face all by yourself.
Bill Duffy knew the final outcome, after a lengthy negotiation, in the end, Yao Ming only had to contribute 3% of his total post-tax income.
From the initial exaggerated 50% to the eventual 3%, for "Yao's team," it was a victory, anyway, "Yao's team" was quite satisfied, but Yao Ming was very unsatisfied. He later spoke about this matter in his autobiography and said bluntly, "They" didn't deserve the money.
Wang Zhizhi entered the NBA and paved a "thorny path" for later domestic players to enter the NBA, and the difficulty of Bartel's subsequent entry into the NBA was obviously much reduced.
