Chapter 416 Open the situation

At noon the next day, An Sheng and Sandy went to the Guanhao Club.

At this time, his manager Zhou Yang, assistant Xue Meiling, sister An Ran, brother-in-law Chen Feiyang, and Xia Yutong, one of the shareholders, were already waiting for him.

But even so, after coming to the club, An Sheng did not go to see them immediately, but came to the training ground alone.

Soon, An Sheng saw many familiar faces.

"Hey, Brother Bear."

Xiong Tengfei, a teammate An Sheng met when he was in the Shanghai City team, helped him a lot. Now, he is a full-time coach in the club.

Seeing An Sheng, Xiong Tengfei was naturally very pleasantly surprised, and several old friends including Luo Zhilin and Chen Haoyu stopped what they were doing and surrounded him.

Of course, there are more students who are still practicing. Naturally, they recognized An Sheng and rushed over to watch the excitement.

If it was outside, An Sheng might leave with a cold face, but in the club, he felt that this was very good and made him very happy.

"Brother Xiong, Brother Luo, Haoyu, long time no see."

"Haha, An Sheng, I never imagined that you would be able to do this, defending the U.S. Open title! Two Grand Slam champions!"

Xiong Tengfei was quite emotional, and the others had almost the same expression. Come to think of it, when they met Ansheng, they never imagined that Ansheng would reach the height he is today.

And after one party recounted the old days, An Sheng, who was in a good mood, invited them to the cafeteria for dinner.

On the other side, Chen Feiyang and others, who had been waiting for a long time, had no choice but to rush to the cafeteria after hearing the news. No matter how anxious things were, they couldn't go hungry.

It wasn't until around one o'clock in the afternoon that An Sheng and others came to the conference room on the third floor and sat together.

"An Sheng, I'm afraid you won't be able to build that tennis school."

As soon as he came up, Chen Feiyang was the first to speak, his face was not very good-looking, and An Ran, who was beside him, glared at him, but did not speak.

By the way, although An Sheng now owns 51% of the shares of Guanhao Club, in fact, his funds are not fully in place, and Chen Feiyang and Xia Yutong are the ones who put them first.

The reason, of course, was that Ansheng didn't have enough money. After all, in terms of business development, Ansheng hadn't been very successful before, and he didn't make much money except for tournament bonuses.

Moreover, he also greatly underestimated the value of the Guanhao Club before, not to mention other things, just the land under his feet is not something he can afford now.

"Why can't it be built? Is there not enough money?"

An Sheng felt a little embarrassed, and also thought about taking out the bonus for the past six months and making up some of it first.

"Money is of course an issue, but that's not the point! The point is, we can't take this land!"

"Doesn't the government/government support it? Doesn't the Lucheng Tennis Association support it?"

An Sheng was a little surprised, it shouldn't be.

"Xiao'an, they are indeed not very supportive. Even the Lucheng Tennis Association, there are many people who oppose it. We were also very surprised at the time. Given your current achievements and reputation in China, why would they not support it?"

"After asking, we found out that some of them think that you are not an athlete in the system and have conflicts with the national team, so they are unwilling to support you."

An Ran gave the reason, but it was really incomprehensible.

"Then take it easy, anyway, the land is there, and I can't run away." After thinking about it, An Sheng made a decision.

"When will it wait?"

Chen Feiyang is a little anxious. His current ambition is really quite serious, which is very different from before.

"Brother Chen, don't worry, it should be soon."

"By the way, Zhou Yang, how is the negotiation with Huawei going, is there any new progress?"

Zhou Yang, who was sitting alone on one side, shook his head with a bitter face, "Boss, I originally thought that after you won the ATP year-end finals championship, this should prompt Huawei to make a decision as soon as possible, but in fact , They haven't moved at all these days, and they called to ask, but it was all perfunctory, and there was no definite news."

After listening, An Sheng nodded, and said slowly: "Everyone, don't worry, everything is difficult at the beginning, and everything has just begun. Let's do the things at hand first, and wait patiently for the opportunity."

"By the way, Sandy, let's see how much money I have in my account, keep some of it as a spare, and transfer the rest to the club account."

"In addition, I would like to take this opportunity to announce to everyone that Sandy will officially join our team after Christmas."

"Don't think too much, Zhou Yang. I am very satisfied with your recent work, and Sandy will not take your place after joining our team."

"Besides, you should know that we just haven't opened up the situation yet. When it's time to get busy, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it alone."

An Sheng was afraid that Zhou Yang would have ideas, so he explained a few words to him.

"Boss, how can I think too much! This time I negotiated with Huawei Company, I saw a real big scene, and it also made me realize many of my shortcomings, and I need to learn from a real international agent. What's more, she is still Boss lady."

Seeing that Zhou Yang said it quite calmly, An Sheng didn't say anything more.

But what I have to say is that Ansheng's current commercial development is indeed in trouble, and he can't think of a good way for a while. Is it really necessary to return to IMG and use their resources again?
Wait a little longer, don't worry, An Sheng thought.

And his decision, as it turned out, was correct.

At the end of November, Zhou Yang, who had already gone to Guangdong City again, received good news. The negotiation with Huawei had made a breakthrough. Formally sign the contract.

The only thing that surprised An Sheng was that Warwick actually asked him about the national team. Although there was no coercion, they all hoped that he could return to the national team.

And An Sheng thought about it for a while, and he could understand that he wanted to come to the national team, but seeing that he couldn't persuade him directly, he contacted Huawei and asked them to help persuade him.

This is really because, at present, the Huaguo Tennis National Team is facing a lot of pressure from public opinion and is eager to recall An Sheng.

That being the case, An Sheng was unwilling to procrastinate any longer, and immediately replied to Ms. Chen Lin, confirming his return to the national team.

And when the time came to December, the news about An Sheng came one after another.

First, he formally signed a 6-year cooperation agreement with Warwick, officially becoming its "global brand spokesperson". After that, he held three consecutive press conferences in Guangdong City, Shanghai City, and Kyoto.

It is worth mentioning that, originally, according to An Sheng's thinking, he hoped that the contract would be as long as possible, but Warwick has insisted on it for 6 years, presumably because he did not have enough confidence in him, thinking that his career The peak period can't be that long.

An Sheng had nothing to do about this, but correspondingly, he naturally asked for other compensations, and then in the agreement between the two parties, there was an extra agreement on grades and bonuses.

To put it simply, the better An Sheng's performance, the more endorsement fees he can get. For example, if he wins a Grand Slam, he can get an extra $100 million as compensation.

Subsequently, An Sheng attended a press conference held by the national team and officially announced that he had returned to the national tennis team. At the same time, he also publicly announced that he would represent the national team and participate in the Davis Cup in the 2019 season.

And as An Sheng said, once the situation is opened, everything will start to go smoothly.

Whether it is about the development of the Guanhao Club or the development of business, they have all started to operate in an orderly manner.

However, during this busy time, An Sheng made a sudden trip to the United States to meet his father-in-law and some of Sandy's relatives.

The result is not bad. It may also have something to do with American customs. At least they didn't object to An Sheng's relationship with Sandy. Of course, his rich father-in-law didn't give him any yachts or villas.

And after Christmas, Sandy returned to Lucheng with An Sheng, formally joined his team, and became his other agent.

It is precisely because of this that An Sheng can feel at ease, start arranging training again, and start preparing for the next season.
