Hsieh Su-wei Signs Deal With Taiwan Beer
Hsieh Su-wei Signs Deal With Taiwan Beer
Taiwan’s Hsieh Su-wei has allegedly reached a preliminary agreement with Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Co. to endorse Taiwan Beer, which should be enough to keep her from moving to mainland China in search of greater riches.
After she became the first Taiwanese to win a Grand Slam tennis title when she and Peng Shuai of China took the Wimbledon women’s doubles title, the economic giant China put out a feeler to bring her to the mainland while smaller Taiwan attempted to stop it.
A liquor company from China’s Qinghai Province offered her about $164,000 US dollars to become a citizen of the Peoples of Republic of China and play on behalf of the province.
Hsieh’s father spoke publicly about his daughter need for more money in order to travel and said they would to listen to the offer from China. He said the deal had to be considered because the amount of money his daughter was getting from Taiwanese companies wasn’t enough to cover the $133,000 dollars or so she spends annually on travel and training expenses. Hsieh has earned $2.28 million in prize money over her eight-year career.
But Taiwanese officials stepped up and encouraged local businesses to help keep her in the fold.
Her deal with Taiwan Tobacco & Liquor Co. will reportedly pay Hsieh $167,712 US dollars per year, a pretty fair amount for a doubles specialist.
Under the new deal, Hsieh will wear the Taiwan Beer logo during her matches as well as promote the product in commercials and photo shoots.
Hsieh then said that she has no plans to change her nationality.
“I’m happy to endorse Taiwanese enterprises, and I hope more of them will sponsor athletes so that they have an easier time pursuing their professional career,” Hsieh said. “Taiwanese companies can also increase their profile internationally.”
