Chapter 257: Not Asking for Much?
"Hello, this is Director Jiang of the General Administration of Sports, and this is our No. 1 young player in tennis at home and abroad, Mr. Fan Ju." The representative of the Internet Association smiled and introduced the two to each other, but in fact, Director Jiang, who came from afar, already knew about Fan Ju's situation.
Official representative, Fan Ju has seen a lot after returning to Shanghai, but it is different from the last not very friendly meeting, this time from the Shanghai Tennis Association to the National Tennis Association, and finally even the General Administration of Sports sent representatives to have a cordial meeting with Fan Ju.
Director Jiang came on behalf of the General Administration of Sports, of course, not only to express his condolences, but also to discuss matters related to next year's Davis Cup and the Olympic Games.
Fan Ju actively accepts domestic players to become his partners, and in the eyes of these domestic officials, he has shown enough information, although he has signed a contract with a foreign brokerage company, but he has not expressed any immigration tendencies, if he does not consider the "overall situation", Fan Ju is definitely an excellent template for the increasing level of domestic sports training.
Ranked 41st in the world, not only surpassing China's record for the highest world ranking, but also neighboring Japan has been left behind.
Perhaps for the time being, because of the influence of Fan Ju, who is not as popular as Yao Ming, is not as good as a basketball superstar like Yao Ming, but with IMG behind the scenes, coupled with the cooperation of the country, as long as Fan Ju can make achievements, his future influence can even surpass Yao Ming's status.
"Shanghai is such a place to produce talent, and it looks like next year's Laureus Rookie Award will definitely fall on us." After Master Jiang finished a long series of polite words, of course, he also awarded Fan Ju the certificate of merit from the General Administration of Sports and the certificate of an international-level athlete.
This process is natural, but it is not expected to be set off by the flash and the camera. This smirk on his face made Fan Ju hold his eggs ache, but there was no way, entertainment was entertainment. Even if you are a model, you will inevitably have to pretend.
"There are so many outstanding athletes in the world, it's hard to say how people choose, as long as the country recognizes me, I am already very satisfied." It's not that Fan Ju doesn't know how to pretend, and after more than ten years and nearly twenty years, he is about to pretend to be instinctive.
Fan Ju's pretending is not hypocritical, and he is different from the director in front of him. Fan Juming knew what the other party was here for, but after all, he was still entangled in the sharing contract.
In terms of the division of Fan Ju, the General Administration of Sports has taken a big step back. 10% of the total prize money is also after tax deduction, which means that if Fan Ju receives millions of dollars in tournament prize money every year, half of the taxes of each country are left. Of this amount, $100,000 will be allocated to the General Administration of Sports.
Other income, including advertising endorsements, can be excluded from the General Administration of Sports. It seems to be very fair and reasonable to ask only that the country's image should not be slandered.
"No, absolutely not!" This is not what Fan Ju said, but a direct answer from IMG.
IMG only takes a 4% commission from Fanju's income, what do you do without doing anything, and dare to ask for 10% if you want to delay Fanju's trip?
Even if the bulk of the advertising is not included, this is unacceptable to IMG, and they have a contract with Fan Ju in advance. In the face of such an unreasonable demand, it is absolutely impossible to agree. There will be no compromise either.
Of course, IMG also knows China's national conditions, and proposes to "donate" a part of the funds every year in proportion to help the development of China's tennis industry.
According to the development of the model, this is definitely more than 100,000 US dollars a year than donations, and in order to shape the image, the annual phone bill on charity will never be less.
IMG is passing on the cost, but it is impossible to get them to agree to a proportional share of the bonus income!
Director Jiang came over just to pull in some connections and let Fan Ju exert pressure as a player, but where would Fan Ju be stupid to do things that infringe on his interests, the better he plays, the more passive the State General Administration of Sports will be.
Besides, this matter is not harmful to the General Administration of Sports, and if a player who has made his own achievements is recognized, isn't it like the world is changing like China is changing?
However, the problem of the system, after all, is not something that someone can say can do, and in the end, it is still the word profit.
What Fan Ju wants to play is a game, but in the eyes of others, it is a profit.
However, no matter how much the two sides argue, Fan Ju will still participate in tomorrow's Olympics and Davis Cup, not only for victory and glory, but also to stand on that stage and announce his arrival to the world.
Director Jiang left accompanied by other officials, while the reporters were entertained by Honori, who had already explored a lot of ways.
Fan Ju planned to leave the hotel provided by the organizer and go home to rest, after all, no matter how luxurious the place was, it was not as comfortable as his accustomed bed.
"Are you interested in the Laureus Newcomer Award?" Rembrandt did not leave on the side, and the conversation between Fan Ju and the official just now was explained by an interpreter throughout the whole process.
Fan Ju shook his head, he was not familiar with the Laureus Award at all, and he didn't even have a shadow in his memory, if it weren't for this director, he wouldn't even know what it was.
As soon as Rembrandt looked at Fan Ju's expression, what are you talking about, he knew that he had been stupid for a while, and quickly explained the situation of the Laureus Award as Fan Ju, and explained the meaning of what it represents.
"The Oscars of sports? Is it such an exaggeration, but it only started in 2000? It's only been a few years, what influence can it have? Fan Ju listened to Rembrandt's exaggerated language, and was very suspicious, and the big fat man began to brag about it again.
But who would have thought that Rembrandt didn't get deflated this time, but instead looked at Fan Ju with a disdainful expression: "You don't even know Dalemm, Chrysler and Sirimon, right?" It was they who created the award, and in the years that followed, it attracted many sponsors. ”
Dale Ham Chrysler, this Fan Ju really remembers, it seems that Fan Ju has also been invited by this company before, and it should be the manufacturer of Maybach, Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler, which are famous brand cars.
As for Riesimon Fan Ju really didn't know, but Rembrandt's big mouth couldn't endure it for long, and after explaining the background of this company to Fan Ju, Fan Ju realized that this company was the second largest luxury group after LV, and Vacheron Constantin, Cartier, and Grand were all brands.
To put it simply, these two companies have enough background and strength to represent the consumer market of European high-end brands, and their award objects are not to say who has good results, just like Yao Ming did not achieve anything, but won the award for the best newcomer at the award ceremony in February 03.
"The value market behind you, the commercialization process of the project, are all considered by this award, the Mr. Jiang just now is very discerning, if you follow your current table and the market behind you, I am afraid that tomorrow's Best Newcomer Award will most likely really be you." Rembrandt didn't say anything else, as long as there was this possibility, IMG would definitely try its best to fight for Fan Ju.
Of course, it is only the newcomer award that can be earned, and the best athlete may only have a chance for the top in this event, especially the Laureus Award, which focuses more on individual sports, golf, track and field, F1 car, and tennis are all strong contenders for this award.
Fan Ju didn't take this award to heart, or didn't attach much importance to it, he would take it if he gave it to him, and if he didn't give it to him, he wouldn't be angry.
"But it's really an awards ceremony held by the luxury industry, and it's much more "valuable" than the gold-plated trophy of the Oscars" Rembrandt's other explanations didn't make Fan Ju feel good, but each winner had a trophy with a height of 30 centimeters, weighing 2.5 kilograms, containing 670 grams of silver and 650 grams of gold, but it did make Fan Ju tempting enough.
Fan Ju is thinking about getting this trophy directly dissolved and sold for money? Or is it better to put it in the tennis center as an exhibit? After all, the other glass trophies are silver trophies at best, and they are not as valuable as this one.
Although there is no chance to return to China, the trophies won by Fan Ju have been handed over by IMG and placed in the exhibition cabinet of the tennis center.
When Comrade Lao Li saw Fan Ju, he no longer had the initial excitement, not that he was not pampered and humiliated by the old man's deplight, but in Fan Ju's view, his old man had already set his goal in front of him.
"Fan Ju, I don't ask for more, you add five or six tour championships to me, and I will be satisfied with the best one more Grand Slam, no matter how much I can't put it, if you don't find a place to put it, I will help you contact the Shanghai Tennis Association at that time, and I can help you open an exhibition area in the newly built tennis center."
Comrade Lao Li, you don't think about it, what if you can't get it back? Fan Ju felt that his expression really made others too confident, especially the people around him, whether it was Rembrandt or the coaches who followed him, as well as those friends, they all thought that they must be very good in the future.
Fan Ju really wants to say that I accept your expectations, but I'm under a lot of pressure like this, okay?
"I want the championship too!" Fan Ju's championship has been suffering from a long time, and now he is not satisfied with just a challenge championship.
The real championship is at least at the tour level, although he is more eager for the Masters and the Grand Slam, but Fan Ju knows that with his current strength, there is still a little gap from that goal.
The difference between the strength that the top players and Fan Ju can achieve is not obvious, but only a slight difference can also determine the outcome of the game and the ownership of the championship. (To be continued......)
