Ultimate Cash System-Chapter 33: Manager.
Chapter 33: Manager.
" Yes, they will handle everything for you," Henry replied.
" That’s good. Let’s go to them after we’ve eaten here," Lukas said while he tried to finish up the whole burger, but it was too big for him.
" Just give me the damn burger." Henry, after finishing up his portion, just gestured to Lukas to give him the burger.
Lukas gave the rest of the burger gladly but also was quite worried about this fat man and his health.
" Alright, I’ll talk with the club agent, and maybe they’ll fax me the details on the contract. It will take some days to review the whole thing with our agents, so you can just take it easy," Henry said. He was almost out of cola with the last bite of burger.
" Waiter, Can we have the bill?" Lukas called out to the waiter for the bill.
" Yes, sir," the waiter replied happily, as this customer looked like a good tipper.
" Luke, let me pay," Henry said. He wanted to pay because he eats more.
" It’s alright, Coach, I’ve got this," Lukas smilingly said.
The total bill was $85, but Lukas was in a good mood, so he tipped the waiter $15 more.
"Coach, are you free?" Lukas asked as he had an appointment with the lawyer in Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP.
" Yes, I have more than an hour free," Henry said while opening the door of his car.
" Alright, can you take me to Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP?" Lukas entered the car and sat on the front seat.
" What’s this about?" Henry was shocked about hearing a lawyer’s name from Lukas’s mouth.
" I’ll explain while you drive," Lukas said with a chuckle.
They reached the office in just five minutes, and Lukas was done explaining things to Henry.
"So you want everything to be copyright proven? You do know our university has a legal team for students like you, right?" Henry said while locking his car with his keys.
" We have?" Lukas acted shocked, but he knows there is a legal team for students like him, but as a newcomer, they would’ve assigned some newbie to him, which is the last thing he needs.
" Yes, they are free for you as well," Henry said.
" Eh! But they’ll not be free forever, right? I also need some top advice, so I will pay for it, no worries," Lukas said with a smile. He was not a cheapskate on these matters.
As soon as they entered the office compound, it looked like the whole business park was closed, but they entered the office building anyway.
The second floor was open, and although it was not bustling, the ’ Appointment Only’ banner was there.
Lukas went ahead and asked if the lawyer he requested was in.
" Yes, sir, Senior IT Lawyer Clinton is in room number 10. Please go ahead," the receptionist said after checking her computer for a minute.
Lukas and Henry went to room number 10, where the lawyer Clinton was, and after hearing Lukas, he understood everything about Lukas’s website idea, and he thought and went for some books.
" Is everything okay?" Lukas asked as the lawyer was checking the books.
" Everything is perfect, it’s just the way you explained the government may come after you after you take so much information from people. You know they don’t care about people, it’s just someone knowing more than them will scare them. Alright, I’ll take your case," Clinton said with a smile.
" In the growing phase of your company, I’ll handle everything for $50,000 annually, from copyrighting to legal battles in the IT sector—everything," Clinton said, as he was a senior lawyer, so his fees were way above a normal lawyer’s.
" Deal, I won’t haggle with you, I’ll send you some logos to finalize," Lukas said, and then he also introduced Henry as his manager.
" Alright, it was a pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Martin," Clinton shook Lukas’s hand and said.
" Call me Lukas, Martin is my father," Lukas said, and then after paying $10,000 in the reception, they left.
" You are a money splurger," Henry said as he was starting his car.
" Hehe, you won’t understand, Coach," Lukas said, and then he fastened his seat belt. At last he was going to the dorm.
" About my payment, you don’t have to worry about it for a year," Henry said. He was, although, doing this for money, but as a teacher in the same university, he can’t be shameless to a young student.
" Hehe, so how much will you take, Coach?" Lukas asked, he wanted to hear the amount Henry was expecting.
" Well, after you sign the contract, pay me a year later. The last thing I want you to worry about is my payment, but I also need to come clean with you: I will take $60,000 per year," Henry said. He was certain Lukas could pay this much.
" What!! ? " Lukas almost yelled at the amount Henry was saying.
" Too much? Well, you can decide after you sign a contract and give me the payment a year later if you still feel "Henry was talking on his own and was trying to explain himself in front of Lukas.
" It’s too little. I don’t need to sign a contract to know what people are worth. I’ll give you $240,000 per year, or you can take $20,000 per month from me," Lukas said. He knows if this man were not here today, he would’ve signed the deal for even $4 million.
" I won’t agree to such a ridiculous amount of money," Henry said with a chuckle. He was happy Lukas found value in his service.
" Just drop me here, I will walk back to the dorm and try to eat less, Coach," Lukas said while grabbing his backpack, and then the car stopped.
The dorm was still five minutes away from here, but Lukas just wanted to walk there, maybe he will become a star.
"Alright, go safely. I will ask for the contract now after going home, and you don’t mind if I talk with the agents alone, do you?" Henry asked.
" No problem, handle the agents for me, Mr. Manager, and if you need money, call," Lukas said, and then they parted ways with Henry and slowly walked towards the dorm.
*Ring-Ring*
Lukas’s phone rang, he saw it was Annie, a smile crept up on his face, and then he received the phone call.
" Hello, Lukas, Where are you"? Annie’s voice came in, not as excited as it was before but still as beautiful.
" I am now on my campus and going to the dorm. Why?" Lukas asked if he was not sure if she wanted to meet.
"I am driving toward your campus. Let’s meet." Annie asked, she decided to come before even asking.
" Sure, let’s do that. Come to the dormitories so we can sit and talk in the garden," Lukas said. He could just get freshened up in the meantime.
"Alright," Annie said, and this ended the phone call.
Lukas sighed, he wanted to call his parents, but it seemed that could wait a little, as he was all stinky and needed a shower very badly before meeting a beautiful woman.
Reaching the dorm, he first put down all the cash he had on the table, he had $10,710 in cash right now.
