"Mr. Essenbad, why don't you wait a moment, I'll change my clothes and let's talk a little while."

Ye Qin is now twenty years old. Although he doesn't take many courses at Shuimu University, he is already a sophomore. In addition, he has been in contact with top sprinters in Tiantan, such as Yusé Bott and Wallace Spearmon, which are even more good. He is already familiar with sports agents.

In this case, no matter what you want to talk about, at least there are necessary etiquettes. In some of the situations Ye Qin knew, it seems that Westerners still pay great attention to this aspect.

"It doesn't matter, Ye Qin." Max Essenbad shook his head beyond Ye Qin's expectations and said with a smile on his face, "You can call me Max. It's not easy to see you once. Besides, I think talking about things in the gym is in line with our identity."

"Okay, Max, why are you here to find me?" Ye Qin nodded, and did not worry about this place, and directly asked Max Essenbad about his purpose.

"That Chen just now seems to mention Sharapova. I think you should already know my identity."

Max Esenbad said and pointed at himself. Obviously, although he didn't understand the Chinese words Chen Zhongzhou said to Ye Qin just now, the words Sharapova were still keenly captured by him.

Max Essenbad didn't care about this, but instead spoke directly to the local area: "Ye Qin, I am Sharapova's agent. I think you are definitely familiar with Sharapova's athletes in competitive sports. Ye Qin, I think you have great commercial value. I hope to be your agent, and I hope to be able to represent your business activities."

At this time, the female tennis professional athlete Maria Sharapova was at its peak. Even if he was not in the same field as Ye Qin, he could not have heard of the other party's fame.

In 2004, Sharapova won her first major in his career in the Wimbledon finals, and ranked first in WTA in 2005. She won the second major in the US Open women's singles final in 2006. American magazine also rated Sarapova as "the most beautiful athlete."

Compared with the achievements she has achieved in the tennis world, what is even more shocking is that Sharapova's commercial value has become the world's highest-paid female athlete for three consecutive years from 2003 to 2006.

After hearing Max Essenbad's words, Ye Qin smiled and shook his head slightly, and said, "Max, track and field is not tennis, and I am still a big gap compared to other top sports athletes."

Ye Qin is no longer a newcomer who knows nothing about these ignorant people. Chen Zhongzhou had previously talked about sports agents with Ye Qin behind his back, and Liu Yangyu actually talked about it, but in this regard, sports agents or economic companies in China are still relatively poor. In some aspects, athletes are managed relatively hard and their commercial value is not fully developed.

Also, Chen Zixi's father Chen Yunbo has also talked about these things in private this year. As his status and value increase, it is time for him to have a special person to help take care of these things.

Ye Qin has been looking for or looking for this, but Ye Qin still has some doubts about what Max Essenbad said. Although track and field events have a certain influence on the Olympic stage and around the world, there is still a big gap in the field of competitive sports compared to some sports.

In the field of competitive sports, generally speaking, the sports stars born from tennis, basketball, football and golf are far more valuable than other projects in terms of commercial value.

In other words, people like Michael Johnson and Morris Green may not have a high commercial value before. To be honest, Liu Yangyu, who had relied on the huge domestic market, had a great influence.

"No, no..." Max Essenbad shook his finger, looked at Ye Qin's eyes, and said solemnly, "Ye Qin, you underestimate yourself too much. Your business value will definitely not be lower than that of any athlete. I can tell you very frankly that as early as 2004, I had considered to sign Liu Yangyu in China, but your management department did not give us the opportunity at that time. After our evaluation, the influence of the man's 110-meter hurdles around the world was still too weak. Of course, if we knew that Liu would break the world record this year, perhaps our evaluation would be different.

But Ye Qin, you...you are completely different.

After the Asian Games, you won four gold medals for men's 100m, 200m, 400m and 4x100m. At the same time, you are also the holder of the record records of Asian men's 100, 200m and 400m. You are the first Asian athlete to win the 200m gold medal in the World Championships and the first Asian athlete to break the 10 second mark. This gives you the widest influence and market commercial value in both China and Asia.

Maybe you may not realize that you can be said to be the number one sports star in Asia now. Compared to Yao and Liu Yangyu, you are more famous. You are not the leader in one project, you are good at all sprint events.

I have reason to believe that you will set off a wave of tides around the world, a wave of track and field. Moreover, even the huge market and commercial value of the entire Asia are enough to make you the most commercially valuable athlete in the world.

I will push you to the world, img will push you to the world!”

At this time, many people outside may not be able to see clearly in China's huge market, but the vice president of the world's top economic company like Max Essenbad, who has already seen it very clearly in the world's top female athletes.

With the influence and commercial value performance of Yao Yao in 2002 and Liu Yangyu in 2004, Ye Qin is the most influential one after the two.

Although track and field events are not as good as many ball sports within the scope of international sports, sports stars themselves are not restricted due to events.

In the operation of some economic companies, some unpopular sports can be built into high-end events in all aspects, packaging and hyping athletes into popular superstars, not to mention that track and field is naturally the mother of sports. The sprinting event itself is the highest radiation exposure of all sports events, and it is a stage that is very suitable for launching superstars.

The World Flying Man...

From 2005 to the first half of 2006, the 100-meter sport between Jax Terling and Asafaville not only started in the track and field field, but radiated to all aspects.

After Jax Terling fell silent, Jason Gaby immediately appeared and created the world's number one flying man topics created by this quota, with many pushers behind it.

However, in IMG's opinion, if they can have an athlete with unlimited potential, they can have a higher topic.

A world flying man who is good at 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters is Chinese and Asian, with huge and extensive commercial markets such as China, Japan and South Korea. Its commercial value is immeasurable in East Asia alone. If it is placed around the world, it will be enough to compete with the top people.

"Max, I can't give you a clear reply for the time being, but if you can, I hope to know more about img."

Ye Qin thought about it for a long time and was obviously a little moved, but he did not answer anything directly. Such a thing could not be explained clearly in just a few words.

"certainly."

Max Essenbad's face was filled with a bright smile, and then he said, "I thought about coming to China after the Asian Games in Doha, but the main reason why I came to China after more than a month was that our team conducted three evaluations, and we believe we can get a situation that is satisfactory to all parties."

Max Essenbad said, and began to introduce img to Ye Qin.

Img, originally known as the International Management Group, is a global talent management company for sports and related industry activities. Founded in 1960, it was founded by Mark McCormack, an American lawyer in Cleveland, Ohio. Mark McCormack discovered that in the TV era, athletes might have earned a lot of extra income through various endorsement advertisements, and then began to sign famous golfers such as Arnold Palmer, Gary Prior and Jack Nicklaus. He became the pioneer and founder of golf marketization. He was once known as the most powerful person in the golf world and pioneered the professional golf world ranking system.

From golf to tennis and Formula 1 sports, Img can be said to be one of the important driving forces in the commercialization of competitive sports.

It also has img performing arts company, img New York Model Economics company, and img Sports Academy.

In particular, Img College covers the training of eight athletes in baseball, basketball, football, golf, lacrosse, football, tennis, track and field and cross-country running. It provides training for various amateur, university and professional teams throughout the year, formulates training plans, summer camps, and various events and events. Since the start of school in 1978, Img College has trained hundreds of Olympic and professional athletes. Among them, the most famous one is tennis actress Sharapova, which can be regarded as a banner trained by Img College.

From Max Essenbad's words, Ye Qin had probably heard at this time that the other party came to China to find him, why was Yu Weili just accompanying him and was confident that he would get his agent job from the Field Management Center.

An important reason is that with the emergence of Liu Yangyu and him, I am seeking innovation and change, bringing in, and going out. As the best sports academy in the world, Img is currently carrying out multi-faceted cooperation with domestic track and field.
