"Minus 36 points, up 75, double the earnings, and finally didn't lose money." In the past, Fan Ju didn't have any idea how many points he had, after all, as long as the game only increased, there was really nothing to calculate.

However, in the second year of the professional competition, the points are no longer blindly upward, and the points of last year will be reduced with time, if the games are too few, or the results are too poor, then there will be insolvency, and the points will be less and less.

Fan Ju also lost points once last year, in the game in Mombasa in July 02, but even the runner-up result was only 8 points, and even Fan Ju himself did not realize the difference in points.

However, it is a little different now, Fan Ju was in the middle of last January, and in India's three consecutive tournaments, the three championship points are not much, but it is the first official consecutive competition in Fan Ju's career.

With 12 points in one game and 36 points in three games, he currently holds the ninth place in the world with 1,700 ATP points, and is still more than 300 points away from the previous Nalbandian.

"It's not much, the Australian Open should be able to catch up, but Hewitt ......" Fan Ju looked at Hewitt, who was only 70 points behind him, and many opponents with only 200 points, he knew that if he wanted to keep his ranking, this point was not enough to make him relax.

In this position, I don't know how many excellent players have stumbled, the security of seeded players in major events, invitations to competitions from all over the world, plus the benefits of exposure and popularity. As far as Fan Ju himself is concerned, he has been deeply touched.

In his own offseason, it seemed calm. But Fan Ju has completed several major events, and the General Administration of Sports, which was still procrastinating, finally loosened the last hurdle after Fan Ju won the Masters championship, and agreed that Fan Ju would participate in the competition on behalf of the national team, and even the so-called donations were exempted.

After all, money can't reach your own pocket, and you can't use it on your side. Whether or not there is this small amount of money is nothing, and of course Fan Ju is not stingy here.

Promised to go down as long as it is a tour-level event held in China, as long as there is no injury. And there is no conflict with other big competitions, so he will try his best to participate in those who can participate, and he can also do not charge any appearance fees, which is equivalent to helping the Tennis Association have a lot of expenses left.

Take the current ranking as an example. For tournaments at the lower level of the Tour. The appearance fee is even higher than the championship bonus.

After all, he is already a player standing at the top of the world, and compared to those players in their teens and twenties, the attention attracted is not on the same level.

The name Fan Ju has become well-known among tennis lovers in the world, the successor of the serve-and-net style of play, the demon on the court, and the title of the world's first person to receive hair.

And Fan Ju confirmed the news of participating in the China Network. It also made this newly established competition immediately win broadcast contracts from Europe and the Americas. This is almost a free benefit, so that the organizer of the China Tennis Association, not only happy, but also more clearly aware of the significance of Fan Ju in the world tennis arena.

Attending the Olympics may only mean that it is easy and opportunity, but in fact, if he really wants to participate in the Olympics, he does not have to go through official channels.

Although the list is submitted by the National Olympic Committee, for athletes, as long as the world ranking reaches a certain mark, if the national Olympic committee does not report it, they can also directly qualify for the competition through the IOC.

However, this is bound to be a bad relationship with the national Olympic committee, and even the tennis association is not good-looking, especially in the professional tennis world where the ranking changes frequently, such a situation is not uncommon.

Last year, he rose from 33 in '02 to finish in the top six, and he should have qualified for the Olympics, but was excluded from the list because he didn't rank high enough at the time.

The player who won the ATP Most Improved Award in '03, of course, could not give up and start a lawsuit with the German Olympic Committee, and according to the information obtained by Fan Ju, the chances of winning this lawsuit are not low.

"There's no need to worry about them, the national situation is different." As a Chinese, Fan Ju certainly knows the problems caused by the national system, and sometimes he will persuade his team to deal with the group of officials who are accustomed to the domestic route, and it is better to be leisurely on his side.

In fact, the domestic relaxation itself is a bit strange, the network management center that originally wanted to compete for some "benefits" first relaxed, and the General Administration of Sports itself has already characterized Fan Ju and Yao Ming together as special players, special contracts, special treatment, and does not affect the treatment and sharing of other domestic players.

"I heard that the director of the network management center is going to be replaced." In one sentence, Fan Ju understood what was wrong, because no matter how much he insisted on the benefits, it would not be his turn, so he simply chose to let go.

To be honest, if it weren't for the reputation, Fan Ju really didn't care, McDonald's 4.5 million a year, 4 years of contract for the post, 3 years for Shanghai Volkswagen, 5 million US dollars per year.

However, compared to the latter item, these two can only be regarded as small heads, Nike's endorsement contract to Fan Ju starts at 7 million US dollars a year, and this is not all, 10-year contract, 7 million for the first 5 years, if it can still enter the world's TOP3 ranking after 5 years, except for the impact of injuries, it has always remained in the top 8, and the value of the entire contract has directly increased to 120 million US dollars!

That's right, this is a super big contract thrown by Nike, although it sets strict requirements, but compared to the price paid, it is not too much at all.

Even if Fan Ju retires during this period, according to Nike's contract, he can still get half of the endorsement fee.

Will Fan Ju, who is only 28 years old in 10 years, retire? Of course, the answer is impossible, that age is the top state of the players, and when they are playing, they can even get a bigger lifetime contract with their performance and influence that lasts for 10 years.

The amount of the contract is kept secret to the outside world, only a vague price point, and Nike also needs to watch out for competitors, Adidas also quoted the price like them, but lost slightly in the follow-up treatment, which missed the opportunity.

At the same time, the follow-up endorsements with VAIA and Pepsi are still being negotiated, and many competitors are not weak, after all, it is only a two-year endorsement contract, which is too short, and now it is completely possible to start acting first.

Of course, compared to these courts, the most anxious thing is the endorsement of the Hyde racket signed by Fan Ju at the earliest, 70,000 per year? This price is too low for Fan Ju's current value.

As the earliest sponsors, they know how much influence Fan Ju has had in the Chinese market, and since the French Open began to make Fan Ju's first effort, Hyde's sales in China have continued to increase, and when Fan Ju won the Masters, Hyde's sales in China have firmly occupied the top spot in the first professional racket.

Before that, there was Baibaoli who could match them in terms of sales, and the only difference that determined their sales gap was that all the rackets sold by Haide in China were pasted with a small photo taken by Fan Ju after signing the endorsement!

For manufacturers, the market is influence, it is money, even if it is the original desert, but as long as there is gold buried in it, then even if it has to pay a high price, it must be snatched up.

Originally, Fan Ju may have been just a small gold mine, some people invested in it, but they were not enthusiastic, but now, they suddenly found that this small gold mine is only the tip of the iceberg, which is the most crazy place.

"This year's endorsement income alone is more than $18 million, and the broker fee alone will cost more than $700,000, and you have to pay 40% income tax, and you will get more than 11 million." If you don't have anything to do with the money, you will be taken aback, especially the tax ratio, which is really scary.

Last year, the total prize money of Fanju's competition exceeded 800,000 yuan, and all of them paid taxes in the host country, but in fact, there were only more than 500,000 yuan left, and then there were other activities and income subsidies, which was barely a tie with the team's pointed out expenses.

And this year, Fan Ju has completely become a big tax collector, Rao is Fan Ju is not a person who deducts money, but when he saw the "half a billion" tax payment bill, his heart trembled.

"It's no wonder that those rich people think about tax avoidance all day long, it's really scary to look at." Although he has had a few years of steady income, Fan Ju still doesn't have much rich money to enjoy.

Tens of millions of dollars have all been handed over to IMG's financial management department, and domestic investment projects that have not yet been launched have gradually launched shares and acquisitions after having sufficient funds.

After three days of rest, Fan Ju's form picked up a little again, and he welcomed Nadal back from New Zealand with a runner-up finish, and Fan Ju could only blame himself for his bad luck.

If he is in the office division and his opponent is replaced by Moya, I am afraid that the outcome will be, he and Hewitt meet in the final, but unfortunately his ranking is stuck in the No. 3 seed, and it is destined to be difficult to achieve his wish.

"You're finally back, I'm really waiting for you to practice doubles." Seeing Nadal, Fan Ju was sincerely happy, he hadn't seen him for a few months, and Nadal, who was a year older, seemed to be stronger again.

Fan Ju's sparring partner in the past few days is Sharapova, although there are differences between men and women, but the girl's skills are nothing to say, if Fan Ju hadn't won the championship in the last game, the two of them may not be much different in their current rankings.

In fact, Fan Juting wanted Nadal to grow faster, and the young man who was still on par with himself at the beginning fell behind.

Nadal is not incapable or talentless, but he has had too many injuries and has not grown old enough to compete with mature players.

Sharapova is a bit more mature in comparison, and after winning her first title last year, she may be more unexpected this year. (To be continued......)
