"Andrey, what are you thinking?" Graf nudged her husband, who was in a daze, in a daze in training, which was not like Agassi's style.

Turning his head to give his wife a smile, he pointed to the game being played on a TV not far above his head, and said with a smile: "I'm looking at us." ”

Graf glanced at it and smiled, but she didn't agree with Agassi's words: "You're still very young, my husband. ”

"yes, I'm still young and I want to stay on the pitch for a few more years, so if you could be with me, that would be great." Agassi looked at his wife and said affectionately.

"Am I not like this? Andrey, I have always been there for you, and the children will also want to have a great father. Graf replied, touching Agassi's bald head.

"But no matter how hard my father tries, he can't compare to their great mother." Agassi's career was great, but it fell short of his wife's.

Agassi saw Fan Ju as if he was a young man, and he felt not only relieved but also challenged to meet this energetic junior brother again in the competition.

Agassi has been to Shanghai in '01 and '02, and in '01 he was invited to the Shanghai Heineken Open, a 4A tournament with a total prize fund of only $375,000 and a total budget of nearly $3 million.

And most of this huge budget was used to spend money to invite Agassi, a blockbuster star!

But at that time, it was unfortunate that Graf had just become pregnant, and Agassi, who was eager for his father, was not even in the mood to compete, and was eliminated in only one round. Not to mention the money spent in vain, the popularity he wanted was not hyped, and he finally became the second seed. Rainer Schutler's one-man show.

The second time was in the 02 Masters, when Fan Ju had just finished training at Nickelodeon, and Agassi also knew for the first time that when Fan Ju recaptured the orange bowl, Agassi knew for the first time that he had such a good little junior brother.

When Fan Ju rose rapidly in the tennis world, Agassi paid more and more attention to Fan Ju. From the earliest junior brother to the current opponent, Fan Ju is like a rising star. In the game, he did his best to absorb the experience of his opponents.

Progress can be seen in every game, and every defeat means a more noticeable improvement, and if Agassi has seen Dragon Ball, then he should have given Fan Ju the title of Saiyan who is getting stronger and stronger the more he dies.

"How many appearance fees are there? I don't know when I'll be able to make money selling my face. Fan Ju looked at Perry's annual appearance fee projections for himself. I was also taken aback.

There is no appearance fee for the Masters and Grand Slams, as well as the year-end finals. The brand is big, and it is a mandatory event, and it is impossible for players to refuse to participate if they want results and fame.

Fan Ju's domestic competition is also due to "some" reasons, there is no appearance fee, of course, the two sides are well aware that the appearance of Fan Ju is for those who need to spend a lot of money to invite big names to operate, saving a lot of energy.

However, Fan Ju still has four events that can be paid for appearances. This additional income has come to an end for the Sydney International. After the Australian Open, we will travel to Europe for the Milan Indoor Carpet Tournament, the Queen's Cup, and the Barrell Indoor Tournament in Switzerland.

Almost every one of these four events can get an appearance fee ranging from 100,000 to 200,000 US dollars for Fan Ju, the Queen's Cup is a big brand, so it is slightly lower than 100,000, and the Sydney International invited Fan Ju to open only 150,000 unexpectedly, but Milan and Barrell have spent a lot of 200,000 US dollars in the two carpet indoor competitions.

In particular, before the Paris Masters at the end of the year, there are two carpet matches held at the same time, and Fan Ju, who is currently recognized as the world's top carpet player, cannot attend, which undoubtedly means that the gold content of the event is insufficient, and it will also affect the number of spectators and sponsors.

$650,000, even if Fan Ju doesn't win a game, he can get this appearance fee, and this income is still tax-free, as a preferential policy for the local government to promote local events.

If taxes are added, that's more than a million dollars, enough to cover the regular costs of the team around the world.

"That's base income, and if you add in other business activities, as well as invitations to exhibition matches, the expected revenue for the year can increase by more than $500,000." Perry checked the schedule, and Fanju's business activities were few among the pros.

Even if many players do not participate in the competition, they will arrange more activities to ensure that their itinerary will not be empty and maintain continuous exposure.

Sports players become sports stars, and under the packaging and beautification, they also become the center of attention like those singers and movie stars.

The reason why Fan Ju left news about Federer and Nadal in his last life is inseparable from this marketing promotion model, even if you have never watched a tennis game in your life, but when you hear these two names, even if you don't know them, they will feel familiar.

"I see, you tell Rembrandt, this year's schedule is almost the same, commercial activities can be arranged in the off-season and the adjustment period before the competition, and next time if you want me to increase the competition, let him come by himself." Fan Jucai didn't eat this set, the big fat man obviously wanted to tempt himself with money, so he wouldn't fall for it.

There is no shortage of money now, and the endorsement fee alone plus the estimated tournament prize money and these appearances and event fees are expected to earn more than $13 million in a single year.

He also made a wish when he played tennis to earn enough 100 million yuan of milk powder money, and he was naïve at the beginning, and he really underestimated the ability of tennis to make money as a highly professional sport.

Not to mention his entire career, now that the first year has passed, he has achieved this goal, and the renminbi is still pegged to the US dollar, maintaining a stable ratio of 8.27, if he hadn't decided on his own investment plan, it would have been enough to go back and become a billionaire now.

Of course, Fanju's funds are not only these, but last year's sponsorship income of more than 3 million was all invested in Apple, and I have to say that IMG's investment team is still very strong.

With an average of around $7.5, Fan Ju bought Apple shares, although it fell, but now it has risen to $10.4, and the stock income alone has brought Fan Ju more than 1 million additional income.

Originally, there was some trouble with the domestic investment plan, not that it could not be spent, but that these few companies that Fan Ju was optimistic about had their own plans, and they could buy shares, but the price was too high, and even exceeded the valuation.

Fan Ju finally found Taobao, but when he wanted to buy shares, he found that the parent company Alibaba had the giant Masayoshi Son behind him, and both Jack Ma and Masayoshi Son were optimistic about this market and refused to allow other capital to enter.

After all, Ali has been able to generate net profits, and the demand for capital is not strong, even Fan Ju, a famous player in the world tennis world, is difficult to obtain the qualification to get started.

Tencent, which is what Fan Ju said QQ, is waiting for a Hong Kong listing at this time, and frequent changes in equity will slow down the listing process, but Tencent said that Fan Ju is welcome to invest in Tencent after listing, but I am afraid that the time will have to wait for about half a year.

As for the final Baidu, there is no problem with taking a stake, but IMG's investment department said that the valuation offer of $50 per share is difficult to accept, after all, a Chinese Internet company actually quoted them at a total valuation of $1.5 billion, which in their opinion is no different from blackmail.

Google's valuation is only $24 billion, and in their opinion, the two companies represent the same level, and they also recommend to Fan Ju that they can buy shares directly from brokerages when Google and other companies go public, so that they can get a lower price.

Fan Ju was actually quite helpless, and in the end, tens of millions of dollars could only be exchanged for Apple shares, which made Fan Ju suddenly become a major shareholder with 0.1% of Apple's shares.

"Speculating in stocks and becoming shareholders can be regarded as a kind of loneliness."

If in the early two years, those companies may not have such a huge scale, but unfortunately, the development of the economy has also contributed to the rapid rise of these emerging industries.

OF COURSE, FAN JU STILL HAS MANY NAMES THAT CAN BE USED IN HIS MEMORY, SUCH AS YOUKU, TUDOU, FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE, AND THE LIKE, EACH OF WHICH CAN HOLD HIS FUNDS.

Of course, even if you don't care about that, Apple and Google alone are enough for him, and the only advantage of being a shareholder of a sensible profitable company is that you don't have to worry about losing money or when to sell these stocks.

Fan Ju has already run most of his Australian Open schedule, but unfortunately, when he met Björkman in the doubles, the experienced player quickly caught the gap between Fan Ju and Nadal.

This is also a proof that doubles is not a one-man game, and only when they work together can they exert their true power.

It is expected that Fan Ju will lose doubles, and Fan Ju in singles still maintains a strong momentum, and the younger generation in the United States except for Roddick may no one be able to stop Fan Ju from advancing.

This year's Australian Open has reached its highest (tide), Roddick vs. Safin, the U.S.-Russia war will start again on the court, and Fan Ju vs. Agassi is also expected, once again staged the battle of the century against the bottom line, which is what the audience expects to see.

This quarter-final is full of too many fierce battles, Federer vs. Nalbandian, whether Federer breaks through Nalbandian's blockade, or Nalbandian continues to play Federer's nemesis, even Fan Ju is quite interested in this game.

Ferrero is probably the only lonelier in this round, and his opponent is the Moroccan player who rushed all the way to the quarterfinals, and this player has also played against Fan Ju, but he has not been able to impress Fan Ju too much technically. (To be continued......)
