Chapter 1169 Vacation Mode
Outside the car window, the emerald ocean blends with the blue sky, and the horizon just disappears into the sparkling splendor and brightness. The full white sails show the shape of the wind, and scattered cotton wool The clouds are also basking in the sun lazily and comfortably.

"Wow, this scenery..." I sighed involuntarily, trying to describe it in words, but found that the sound had disappeared, and I just admired it quietly.

Nadal also looked out along Gao Wen's line of sight, with a hint of pride in his eyes, as well as infinite affection and love, "I just like this place, and I will never get tired of watching it. If there is a chance, we can go out on a yacht and have a good time. Sun, fishing, enjoying an afternoon."

Gao Wen, with a very serious expression, "How about this afternoon?"

As he said that, Gao Wen was eager to try. Even though the plane had just landed, he didn't see the long-distance flight and the tiredness of jet lag at all. He was gearing up and ready to wander in this enchanting blue and gorgeous gold, with open arms , as if able to embrace the whole world.

Nadal was shocked, and even quickly turned his head to look at Gao Wen, and then quickly turned his head back, "But, what about training? Don't you still have to adapt to the field?"

Gao Wen, "Oh, training... I have completely forgotten about it, do I have to continue training in heaven?"

Seeing Gao Wen's sad expression, the two Nadal brothers and sisters laughed again.

Maribel joked half-jokingly, "Where is the rumored training madman? I want to compare and see who is more crazy, you or Rafa."

Gawain spread his hands, "Oh, are you talking about that lunatic? He got lost when he was changing planes in Barcelona. It's a pity that he didn't come here with him."

Serious nonsense.

The laughter in the carriage could no longer be controlled, it was flamboyantly agitated under the golden sunlight, and the pleasant atmosphere of a group of young people going on vacation permeated like this.

However, "vacation", that is to say.

Training, this is the real purpose of this trip.

Now, there is still one week before the opening of the Monte Carlo Masters. To be precise, after deducting today and the time to go to Monte Carlo, there is actually no week at all; and Gao Wen needs to complete the journey from hard court to clay court. Change, things are not that simple, time is very tight.

Upon arriving at the residence villa, Tony Nadal was already waiting there, warmly welcoming Gao Wen and his party.

After a short rest and adjustment, Gao Wen followed Nadal to visit the training ground.

Although the tennis school is still under construction, some outlines of the layout can already be seen, and the different plans for different areas have become clear.

In addition, four open-air clay practice fields have also been put into use; not far away, you can also see an indoor clay practice field being established.

On the one hand, it is for closed training; on the other hand, it is for targeted training to adapt to different climatic conditions.Very thoughtful.

At present, the equipment is very simple, and the buildings are all under construction, and there are not many things worth visiting at all.

So, the visit is over soon.

Nadal shrugged, "There is nothing now, but by this time next year, it should be completely new, and it will look different by then."

"In addition, the Mallorca Open will start next year, and when it comes to the grass season, it should be completely different here."

In the plain and simple words, you can feel the deep pride.

Looking at Nadal in front of him, Gao Wen's mind flashed, and he couldn't help asking curiously.

"Rafa, why would you even think of opening a tennis academy? I mean, it's obviously not a good investment if you want to make money."

For tennis schools, if they want to achieve profitability, it is difficult to see positive effects in the short term, because this is a long-term project with huge risks.

In terms of doing business, Federer is more worthy of reference.

Nadal showed a shallow smile and shook his head slightly.

"Because I never thought about making money at all."

The smile stagnated slightly at the corner of his mouth, and Nadal's expression showed a little sincerity.

"Gao Wen, I'm not a smart person, at least, my wisdom is not reflected in business and entrepreneurship; moreover, I don't expect to build a business empire by myself. For now, even if I choose to leave professional tennis tomorrow, my Wealth is already inexhaustible in a lifetime."

"I don't need bank numbers to define my happiness, because you know, in this world, there will always be people with bigger houses and more luxurious cars than you. I don't think I can climb to the top of the pyramid, and I don't think those Numbers can be the key to happiness in life."

"Created Tennis Academy because I really wanted to do something for kids who love tennis, but also for the land that I love so much."

After a short pause, Nadal turned to look at Gao Wen.

"I like football, very, very much, and for a team, what is the most important thing, you know?"

Different answers were already swirling around on the tip of his tongue, but Gao Wen didn't express his thoughts directly, but thought about it seriously, "Youth training."

"Haha." Nadal laughed happily, "Yes, youth training. Because those children represent the future and the endless hope of the team."

"Tennis, too."

"In Spain, the market foundation of tennis is far inferior to that of football. Believe me, I really, really love football, but tennis is a career that I have devoted my whole life to. I also sincerely hope that tennis can flourish in my homeland. So I chose this path."

"Maybe, ten or 20 years later, in the top [-] in the world, we can see more young Spanish players, whether they come from my tennis school or not, but I hope they know that here, I always support them."

Simple, yet affectionate.

Gao Wen nodded slightly, his inspiration was verified, and then he looked at Nadal and expressed his thoughts.

"Not long ago, I was in the Davis Cup."

Nadal's eyes lit up immediately, "My happiest and best memories, a very important part of them, come from representing Spain in the Davis Cup."

Gao Wen then showed a smile, "Me too, that was indeed a special experience."

"After the Davis Cup ended, I was thinking, what else can I do for my country; how can I promote the development of tennis just by myself."

The stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility. Now, Gao Wen can finally understand the meaning of this sentence.

Nadal immediately understood Gao Wen's thoughts, raised his jaw slightly, "You can try it, I believe, your name is the best call."

"If you need any help, you can always ask me, or Marybelle."

call.

Gao Wen let out a long breath, now it is just an inspiration, and to develop the inspiration into a blueprint, he needs a long-term plan.

Then, Gao Wen turned his head to look at Nadal.

"Now, I also have something very worth looking forward to. I need to get used to the field. Three days later, when we meet in the practice match, I hope that the performance will not be too stretched. Rafael Nadal practiced on clay.”

A handy ridicule made Nadal smile again.
