Chapter 220 Reasons
Zhou Yang, born in Kyoto, 28 years old, graduated from Kyoto University, and has been working in Zhonghui International Sports Co., Ltd. as a full-time sports agent since then.

In the business of agents, he is still very young in terms of age, but in terms of work experience, he is relatively rich, and he can be regarded as an old man in this industry.

The key is that his achievements, or achievements, are relatively outstanding.

According to An Sheng's understanding, at present, Zhou Yang has signed several athletes, and none of them are ordinary athletes. At least in their respective fields, they all have certain strength and reputation.

To a large extent, this also shows that Zhou Yang is a very capable person.

In addition, Zhonghui Sports is indeed the most powerful sports economic company in China at present. In addition, An Sheng has been in contact with it several times, and his senses are still good.

Therefore, An Sheng paid more attention to Zhou Yang.

And now, although An Sheng has made up his mind to join a large international economic company, he will not consider signing a contract with a domestic brokerage company for the time being, but he feels that it is still necessary to have a good chat with Zhou Yang. It is a refusal, and I hope to remain friendly with him.

Among them, An Sheng was actually a little cautious. He thought, if he really became famous in the future and became the top professional tennis player in the world, then he might still need an agent in Huaguo, To help him with domestic affairs.

Of course, he was just thinking about this matter in his heart, but he would not say it, because even if he said it, no one would believe it, and it would only make people laugh.

A few days later, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, An Sheng, who was training, was very surprised to find that Zhou Yang appeared on the sidelines.

They did make an appointment before to meet today, but the specific time was at night, not now. Unexpectedly, the other party came to the door in person.

After Zhou Yang noticed that An Sheng was looking at him, he smiled and waved at him. What he meant was to let An Sheng continue training and leave him alone.

But since they are all here, An Sheng naturally cannot ignore them.

"An Sheng, I'm sorry, I came a little early and I have nothing else to do, so I came to your club to have a look. Unexpectedly, I still disturbed your training."

Seeing An Sheng stop training and walking towards him, Zhou Yang immediately went up to meet him, but apologized first.

This is probably the reason why An Sheng has a good impression of him. Compared with other agents who came to him, Zhou Yang's attitude and respect for him should be the best.

"It's okay, Brother Zhou, let's sit over there for a while."

An Sheng led the way, and the two came to the office not far away. The whole training hall was quite noisy, so he could only borrow Coach Sun Binghua's office for a while.

"Brother Zhou, I know you are a busy person. I have to thank you for taking the time to come to Lucheng."

Zhou Yang took the bottle of mineral water An Sheng gave him, didn't unscrew it, and didn't speak, just smiled and nodded to An Sheng, waiting for the follow-up.

Seeing him like this, Ansheng stopped talking nonsense and got straight to the point.

"Brother Zhou, actually, I came here this time to apologize to you, because I won't choose to sign a contract with you for the time being."

After finishing speaking, An Sheng looked at Zhou Yang, wanting to see his reaction, but unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Zhou Yang seemed to have no reaction at all, and still kept smiling.

"Brother Zhou, are you not angry?"

"Haha, An Sheng, what's there to be angry about. Actually, when you asked me to meet, I probably guessed the result."

"Then why are you still willing to come?" An Sheng asked in surprise.

"Two reasons, one is because it's just my guess, if I guess wrong, you don't want to reject me? The other is because, even if you choose to refuse, I want to hear your reason .”

"Besides, since you came specifically to see me, I think you wouldn't just tell me such a result, right?"

I have to say that honesty is also one of the important factors that make An Sheng feel good about Zhou Yang. As a sports agent, this is very important.

"Brother Zhou, I do have something to say, probably just two points."

"The first point, I just want to explain to you why I am not willing to sign an economic company yet."

"Actually, it's not that I don't want to sign a brokerage company, but that I don't want to sign a domestic brokerage company, because I think domestic brokerage companies can't help me."

"To put it more directly, they just want to use me to make money, but they are not willing to invest in me. That's why so many agents came to me after I achieved that little bit. The reason is that they don’t have to pay much anyway, as long as they sign me, they can make more or less money.”

"But what I want is not just a few advertising endorsements, or sponsorship. I need resources. I need someone to help me arrange professional coaches, my training, and my schedule! What's more, I need them to help me deal with it. Everything but tennis!"

"These are things that the current domestic brokerage companies cannot satisfy."

"As far as I know, the operating models of large foreign brokerage companies are different. Their profit models are more high-end."

"To put it another way, when they choose to sign a certain athlete, they mainly look at the potential of the other player, and only after he has really reached a certain height, will he carry out comprehensive commercial development to obtain benefits."

"Obviously, once they cultivate a top athlete, the benefits they can get will be very considerable, which can be worth the income brought by representing hundreds or thousands of ordinary athletes."

"That's why they are more willing to invest and invest a lot of resources in the early stage to help athletes grow."

"In addition, resources such as top tennis coaches are basically in their hands, and only by joining them can I get these resources."

"This is also the reason why I made up my mind to sign into a large international company."

"And the second point I want to say is actually the main reason for me to invite you here this time. I know that you are a very capable agent, and you have Zhonghui Sports behind you. You must be considered first-class in China. agent."

"So, although I don't want to sign a contract with you now, I still hope to gain your friendship. Maybe in the future, we will have the opportunity to cooperate."

After listening, Zhou Yang hesitated to speak.

Generally speaking, he agrees with An Sheng's remarks, and being in it, he can better understand the situation of domestic brokerage companies.

Just like what An Sheng said, the current domestic brokerage companies basically only do business development, but they have not made any achievements in the cultivation of athletes.

Of course, it’s not that no one has thought about this problem. It’s just that it is very difficult to have a relatively complete training system. Not only does it require a huge investment of money, the key is that it will take a long time , Ten years, 20 years, or even longer.

Therefore, under the current situation, no brokerage company has the strength to complete such a grand plan, and there will be no such long-term plan at all. Anyway, everyone is making money now, so why bother?
However, this cannot be completely blamed on them. After all, the industry of sports agents has just begun to develop in Huaguo, and the conditions themselves are not yet mature. After all, they have to wait for them to earn enough money before they go Consider this.

In addition, Zhou Yang actually thought of a "loophole" in An Sheng's decision.

Just like An Sheng himself said, you must show enough potential before the large foreign brokerage companies will favor you.

But the question is, does An Sheng have potential?Can his potential reach the world level?

In this regard, Zhou Yang holds a relatively pessimistic view.

Perhaps because of this, until the end, Zhou Yang did not express any opinion on An Sheng's decision.

As for An Sheng's friendship, of course he will not refuse. He still has this kind of demeanor. What's more, as An Sheng said, there may be opportunities for them to cooperate in the future. No matter what, he doesn't need it. The contact between the two parties was broken.

By the way, in handling this matter, An Sheng's performance was relatively mature and stable, which also shows to a certain extent that his growth of mind and character in the past two years is still very good, which should be enough Let him stand on his own in society.
