Now that I've been reborn, I have to play tennis!

Chapter 78 I want to ask you, do you dare? (Third update)
Since "Baobaoli" rackets decided to treat Meng Hao as their spokesperson, the conditions they offered were quite sincere.

The three-year contract guarantees a minimum sponsorship amount of 300 million RMB per year, which means that no matter how well Meng Hao performs, even if he is injured and recovering throughout the year, he can still receive this 300 million RMB sponsorship.

This is the treatment a spokesperson receives.

After Li Na, she is the only active spokesperson in China!
The former, on the other hand, has already secured a lifetime contract thanks to his illustrious career record.

Then, there are the reward terms!

For a racket company, a guaranteed sponsorship amount of 300 million RMB per year is already quite high, so even if Meng Hao wins an ATP 250 level tournament title, there will be no additional reward clauses.

For ATP 500 tournaments, Babolat stipulates that only the winner of the China Open will receive an additional 50 yen bonus; other ATP 500 tournament champions will not receive any bonus.

The reason is simple: overseas 500-level competitions receive limited attention!
Baboli is based in the Chinese market, and Meng Hao can only generate a huge advertising effect if he wins the China Open in China.

This condition is also correct!
Meng Hao nodded slowly.

Although the 500 tournament is hailed as a top-tier tournament with limited spots and many top players, it is still just a 500 tournament, and the champion of the 500 tournament cannot be considered a champion of a major tournament.

Then came the ATP 1000 Masters tournament, where Babolat still applied double standards.

The prize money for the other eight ATP 1000 Masters tournaments is 70 Chinese Yuan, while the prize money for winning the Shanghai Masters is 100 million Chinese Yuan.

The difference is particularly obvious!

As I said before, the Shanghai Masters is the final major event of the "China season".

Given the vast fan base, television coverage, and online social media presence in the Chinese market, the public's attention to the Shanghai Masters naturally far exceeds that of the other eight Masters tournaments.

If Meng Hao were to win the Shanghai Masters, one can imagine the enormous advertising effect it would bring to Baboli.

Of course, the runner-up received no prize.

The basic sponsorship amount is already very high, so how much influence can a mere runner-up in a Masters tournament have?

However, Chen Song's side also promised that if Meng Hao's highest honor is runner-up in the Masters Tournament three years later, he will still be able to renew his contract under the original conditions.

Finally, there are the four Grand Slams and the year-end awards.

Reaching the final of any of the four Grand Slam tournaments earns a reward of 200 million yuan, while winning the championship earns a reward of 500 million yuan!
A Grand Slam is a Grand Slam; its influence is unparalleled!

Although the ranking points for a Grand Slam champion are only twice that of a Masters tournament, and the prize money is more than three times higher, the influence is more than ten times less.

As for the year-end finals, there are only two tiers: qualifying and champion.

Meng Hao is now eligible for the year-end finals with a reward of 100 million yuan, and a reward of 300 million yuan for winning the championship.

The prize money for the year-end finals champion is lower than that for a Grand Slam champion, but higher than that for a Grand Slam runner-up.

"The conditions are very good, I'm very satisfied. However..." Meng Hao stroked his chin and smiled slightly, "Have we overlooked something?"

"What?" Chen Song asked in confusion.

"The Olympics!" Meng Hao blurted out. "Admittedly, many top players in this circle don't value the Olympics much, but players like Nadal and Murray consider the Olympic gold medal the highest honor."

"And in my home country, the Olympics are just as important!"

Scottish Honest Andy Murray earned a knighthood from the British royal family for his gold medal at the London Olympics, along with victories at the US Open and Wimbledon.

As a British superstar and one of the most popular athletes in the UK, Beckham has always longed for a knighthood but has never received one.

By the way, Beckham is 12 years older than Murray.

Chen Song smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, this was my oversight! We'll add the Olympic clause right away."

Shortly afterward, supplementary clauses regarding the Olympics were released: 500 million yuan for a gold medal, 200 million yuan for a silver medal, and 100 million yuan for a bronze medal.

Of all competitions, the Olympics is the only one where third place still receives a prize, since even a bronze medalist can stand on the podium.

After the terms were agreed upon, Meng Hao carefully checked everything and found no problems.

However, to show his cautious side, Meng Hao also deliberately and symbolically asked the legal personnel of Jiushi Group to take a look.

He had already thought it through, and if he were to find an ideal partner, Jiushi Group would indeed be the best choice.

First of all, it is a leading state-owned enterprise in Shanghai, and secondly, it has a long history of operating sports events.

As the only ATP Masters tournament in the Asia-Pacific region, the Shanghai Masters will continue to be held, at least for the next decade or so.

Then there is a basis for long-term cooperation between the two parties!
"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you!" Meng Hao shook hands with Chen Song with great satisfaction.

He will turn 18 on the 15th of next month. The agreement is currently in draft form, and the contract will officially take effect on the 15th of next month. Therefore, his parents have not authorized him.

"We will only have one spokesperson, and we will not sign any other male tennis players from China for at least the next three years!"

Chen Song also explained this business rule: although Baibaoli will still seek sponsorships from other players, Meng Hao's position as the spokesperson is unshakeable in the short term.

"As for the female athletes, are there any potential spokespeople?" Meng Hao couldn't help but ask.

"We currently have a young player named Xu Shilin, who is one of our key sponsors!" Chen Song said truthfully. "You've heard of her?"

Xu Shilin? Meng Hao did indeed know this person.

The 16-year-old is ranked number one in the world and is hailed as the next successor to Li Na.

Currently, she has three sponsors: Adidas, VIVO mobile phones, and Babbo.

Those veteran poker players are extremely envious!
Compared to Zheng Qinwen's financial difficulties during his youth, Xu Shilin's treatment was much better.

However, she failed to make a name for herself and faded into obscurity, while the sponsors' hard-earned money went down the drain.

Meng Hao didn't know what to say, so he shrugged and laughed, "The characteristic of tennis is that you guys like to bet on promising newcomers, which can easily arouse the envy of those senior players!"

"There's nothing we can do about it; those older players have no more potential to be developed!"

Chen Song was just telling the truth, which reflects the cruelty of competitive sports.

"Oh, by the way, the company has an event that we need you to attend!"

"What event!"

"Li Na's retirement ceremony is about to begin at the China Open, and we will arrange for you to attend as well!"

"Huh?" Meng Hao was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly, "Are you kidding me? I'm not some famous general, how could I be qualified to appear in this kind of occasion!"

"Don't forget, you and she are both spokespeople for Baboro, so we'll naturally make arrangements!"

Chen Song said slowly, "Now that you're our spokesperson, it's time to start creating stars!"

"At that time, we will arrange for you and Na Jie to both hold a Bapler racket for the reporters to take pictures. You should know what that means, right?"

This signifies the passing of the torch from China's tennis leader!
"I know this will put a lot of pressure on you, but I just want to ask if you dare to do it?"

Meng Hao laughed. What was there to be afraid of?
