Chapter 227 Anger and Negotiation
An Sheng had thought that Wu Bingyi's help and recommendation might attract the attention of IMG, but in his mind, he would have to wait at least a few months before the other party contacted him, right?

But the fact is that only one month later, the other party took the initiative to contact him, and the agent sent by their company specially for him is already on his way to Huaguo, and they will officially meet in a short time .

Of course, An Sheng verified this news with Wu Bingyi and confirmed its authenticity.

There is no doubt that this made An Sheng very excited, and even broke his habit, making him unable to fall asleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, his mind began to function involuntarily, fantasizing about signing the contract, and thinking about his future. .

But when he actually met the so-called IMG manager, An Sheng was shocked, and then felt extremely angry!
Because, the other party turned out to be a girl who just turned 18!
"Mr. An, I hope you can listen to me first."

Facing the angry An Sheng, Sandy tried to explain, but at this moment, it was difficult for her to do so.

"No, I really hope you are not serious, because if you are, then your IMG company is insulting me!"

As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. From the moment he saw the other party, An Sheng had completely denied the other party, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with her at all.

And that's the end of their first meeting.

Surprisingly, this matter is not over.

First, Wu Bingyi called him and explained the situation to him very solemnly. This man named Sandy Fosterman was really an agent sent by IMG.

But even so, An Sheng didn't want to see her, as he himself said, the fact that IMG sent such a little girl here was purely to disregard him, and it might even be insulting, which made him unable to accept.

But that night, another gringo came to him.

An Sheng had met this person once before. After seeing him, he thought about it for a while, and then he remembered, isn't he Wu Bingyi's current manager? What is he doing here?
Its purpose was soon clarified, and it was just like Wu Bingyi, who came here to explain to the little girl.

In short, to put it bluntly, this Sandy Forstmann is indeed a regular employee of IMG, and she definitely did not mean to insult Ansheng.

But obviously, An Sheng was still angry, and immediately decided to hang out with her all night. If she didn't leave tomorrow and came to him on his own initiative, he would have a chat with her, otherwise, forget it.

In fact, An Sheng made this decision, which actually proved that he still wanted to talk to the other party. After all, IMG was his goal for the past few months. He didn't want to give up unless he had to. Just in a fit of anger.

It's just that this matter is too weird, no matter what he thinks, he still can't figure out why the other party sent such a little girl over.

"Hello, Mr. Ann, can we talk?"

Early the next morning, Sandy appeared in front of An Sheng. To An Sheng's surprise, he could feel that the attitude of the other party was stronger than yesterday.

During the short meeting yesterday, An Sheng could actually feel some panic in Sandy, but at this moment, she seemed very calm and a little cold.

An Sheng didn't know if this was his own delusion, but the matter had developed so far, no matter what, let's talk about it first.

"Your name is Sandy."

"Yes."

"I'm curious, are you a genius?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Hehe, if you're not a genius, why would you be able to join IMG at your age?" An Sheng's words were full of sarcasm.

"Hehe, Mr. An, as a Chinese, don't you know that there is a 'second generation of officials' in this world?"

Sandy didn't show any weakness, but she also explained the reason.

By the way, the term "official second generation" may not mean what Xiandi wanted to express, but An Sheng translated it and this is probably how he understood it.

And what Sandy meant was very clear. The reason why she was able to enter the IMG company was because she had a background, or because she had relatives who worked at the top of IMG.

But after knowing this, An Sheng was still very disappointed. How capable is a person who goes through the back door?

"Okay, Sandy, what do you want to talk to me about? Or, how do you IMG company want to sign me? What are the specific conditions?"

"Mr. An, this is our company's assessment of you, you can take a look first."

Sandy did not directly return to An Sheng's question, but instead took out a document and placed it in front of An Sheng.

This is normal, but a little unexpected.

Normally, before signing the contract, their IMG company would naturally investigate and evaluate An Sheng, but surprisingly, they were so calm.

An Sheng was stunned for a moment, then picked up the document and read it, but after just a few glances, he frowned.

Firstly, it was because the document looked a bit shabby, and there were only a few pages in total. Secondly, the content recorded in the document was also a bit crude.

The focus, of course, is the assessment of its potential.

To put it simply, this document shows that An Sheng's upper limit is only "top 200 in the world", and he is a challenger level player.

In addition, as to why IMG wanted to sign a contract with it, it was also clearly explained above, because An Sheng is a male player in Huaguo. Although the upper limit of achievements is not high, it still has certain commercial value in Huaguo.

"Heh!" An Sheng couldn't help but sneered, but he didn't lose his temper. Instead, he calmed down.

"So, Sandy, what conditions can you give?"

"Four-year contract, three levels of treatment, the first year is the training period, and the next three years will carry out moderate business development based on your achievements and performance."

"Third-level treatment? Can you tell me more about it?"

"Of course, in our IMG company, different levels of treatment will be adopted for different customers, and corresponding levels of resources will be provided. According to your assessment conclusion, at present, it can only meet the lowest standard."

"Specifically speaking, there are two aspects. On the one hand, we will recommend suitable coaches and more suitable schedules for you. On the other hand, we will recommend suitable sponsors and business activities for you based on your performance. "

"How do you arrange the coach's expenses? I have to pay for it all by myself? Also, how much is your economic commission?"

"Yes, in terms of coaching, we only provide recommendations, and you need to discuss the details yourself, and of course you need to bear the cost yourself. As for the share, our company has corresponding regulations, for different levels of customers, and different levels. The proportion of commercial income is also different, and this point will be clearly stipulated in the contract at that time. Generally speaking, we will charge about 20% of the after-tax income."

To be sure, this is a very, very high commission rate. As far as Anson knows, the after-tax profit commission for general economic person contracts is roughly around 4%.

An Sheng can imagine that IMG proposed such a high commission ratio, and it is not deliberately cheating him, but because they estimate that the commercial income that An Sheng can get is very limited, so if their commission is not enough High, then their company is likely to lose money.

But An Sheng himself is very aware of his potential. If there is no accident, four years is enough for him to become a world-class player. Therefore, his commercial value will never be as high as that written in the evaluation of IMG. Unbearable.

Therefore, Ansheng cannot accept such a commission ratio.

But having said that, An Sheng has to sign this contract, because he really needs the resources of IMG, whether it is the coach or the schedule.

Among them, I won’t say much about the importance of the coach. It’s mainly about the schedule. It may need to be explained a little bit. This is actually very important to An Sheng.

You know, as the world's largest sports agent company, IMG is definitely the world's leader in tennis projects. The key reason why they can do this is that they control many tennis events, perhaps Directly own its shares, or have close cooperation with the event party.

Therefore, if Ansheng can join IMG, even if Ansheng can only get the lowest level of treatment, he will be able to get a lot of conveniences. Many events that he might not be able to participate in can be made available to him through the coordination of IMG. Get a place in the competition.

Then it is to make his schedule more reasonable and effective, so as to improve his performance to a certain extent.

Of course, the contract needs to be signed, but the content still needs to be changed.

"Santi, I want to know if the length of the contract can be shortened?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. An, four years, this is already the minimum, and it cannot be changed."

At this time, Sandy knew in her heart that since An Sheng started to ask more specific questions, it meant that he was interested in IMG, so when she spoke, she became more confident.

"Hehe, four years is too long, but it's not impossible, but I hope to change the contract into two parts."

"How to change?"

"In the first two years, I am willing to accept your conditions, but in the next two years, I think, it should be graded according to the actual situation. In other words, if my performance is good enough, then you must improve my salary , but if my grades are not satisfactory, you can also reduce the salary accordingly, or even terminate the contract with me directly."

"Okay!" Sandy thought for a moment and gave a very clear answer.

This actually surprised An Sheng, he didn't expect that Sandy actually had such a great power in his hands, and could directly agree to such a condition.

"Mr. An, it seems that you don't quite agree with the assessment made by our company. It doesn't matter, we can specifically set relevant clauses in the contract, but, in your opinion, how to make a clear classification?"

"It's very simple. Don't you think that my future results can only reach the top 200 in the world? That's it. After two years, if my ranking is within 200, it will be considered as meeting the basic requirements. It remains unchanged, but if my ranking reaches the top 100, then you need to increase my treatment level, and the economic commission should also be changed accordingly, and if my ranking reaches the top 50 in the world, then you will Need to step up a level."

"Yes! Then do you have any other requirements?"

An Sheng thought about it for a while, then shook his head. Of course, he will definitely think about it again later to make sure nothing goes wrong.

In addition, they have only reached a preliminary verbal agreement now, and there are still many details that need to be negotiated until a formal contract is actually formed.
