Almighty Athlete Chapter 176: Vicious

The Olympics are over, and Zhang Guan will face a very tight schedule next. He will participate in various commendation conferences, accept various forms of interviews with the media, put on some talk shows, and then have the Olympic champion Hong Kong and Macau activities.

I'm afraid it will take a month or two for the Olympics to pass, so at least the last two months, Zhang Guan will be very busy.

And the Zhang Guan broker team has also been busy. Various business endorsements are coming like snow flakes. They are negotiating with the sponsors during the day and at night with the sponsors on the other side of the earth. Although the championship team has already priced out the highest price in the world, the advertising shooting plan is still scheduled for the second half of next year.

The sponsors are very savvy. They know that the commercial value of Zhang Guan will be maximized in the 2008 Olympic Games. If Zhang Guan can achieve a good result in 2008, his commercial value will definitely increase, and if he is like If Liu Feiren retires like that, his business value will inevitably decline step by step.

The sponsors obviously do not want to take risks, so most of the sponsorship contracts for Zhang Guan ended in 2008. The sponsor's behavior is also watching. If Zhang Guan can achieve good results in the Olympics, the sponsor will definitely work hard to renew the contract, and the sponsor can also accept the Zhang Guan price increase; and if Zhang Guan cannot achieve good results, sponsor Businessmen are bound to find another more popular spokesperson.

Finally, Zhang Guan achieved good results in the Olympics, but the results are really amazing. The value of Zhang Guan has doubled several times in one fell swoop, and the sponsors who signed in 2008 regretted it. They can afford a slightly higher sponsorship fee, but they have many times more sponsors at once, which makes many sponsors discouraged.

Even if you need to talk more than several times the sponsorship fee, there are still many sponsors who do not hesitate to spend money. High-end advertising endorses this thing, a star will only endorse a brand of a certain type of product, such as endorsement of Mercedes-Benz, will not endorse BMW; endorsement of Lange, will not endorse Rolex. So for sponsors, it doesn't matter if they sign Zhang Guan, but if Zhang Guan is signed by a competitor, it will be troublesome. A good spokesperson is enough to make an unknown brand rise. The powerful influence of Zhang Guan also forces many sponsors to have to throw money over.

......

At the same time that Zhang Guan earned a lot of money, one person was very unhappy.

Monaco, IAAF headquarters.

Sebastian was sitting in the office. On the computer monitor opposite him, there were reports about the Olympic Games. There is no doubt that the vast majority are praises, and of course there are criticisms like picking bones in the sour eggs of individual media.

At this time, Sebastian felt a little unpleasant, because this Olympic Games was held so successfully.

First of all, there is no need to say in terms of hardware. The venues are all the most advanced, first-class stadiums, and first-class Olympic villages. Compared with the stadiums without roofs in the last Athens Olympic Games, they are not many times stronger. The logistical support is also very perfect. The food, clothing, housing and transportation are well prepared. The volunteers are piled up, and they have all received very professional training. Many foreign athletes come here, they have a feeling of reluctance, and can’t wait to stay longer.

This makes Sebastian feel uncomfortable pressure, because the two adjacent Olympic Games will always be compared, and Sebastian knows that the London Olympics can never be compared to this One Olympic Games. He has even been able to foresee that the London Olympics four years later will inevitably be considered inferior to this one in every aspect.

London doesn’t have so much financial resources to build top-level sports venues. The so-called use of recyclable building materials is just to use high-tech guise to cover up that you have no money. After all, second-hand materials can also sell some money. Not selling scrap iron can be worth a few cents. However, even if the Olympic venues are used up, it is not meant to be dismantled and dismantled. It must always be explained to the public, and recycling can be a good reason.

London Olympics can’t have so many volunteers and service personnel, which has nothing to do with the total population. London’s population density is also the world’s top. The key is that the London Olympic Committee has no ability to mobilize so many people, many The citizens of London are not interested in hosting the Olympic Games. They may even feel that hosting the Olympic Games will lower the law and order of London and disrupt their daily lives.

And there are voices against the hosting of the Olympic Games within the UK. Some people have been thinking of Brexit all day and closed their doors to live their lives; those who are troubled in Scotland also feel that the Olympics have nothing to do with themselves. The people's hearts are uneven, and even if they are hosting the Olympics, they will encounter various resistances.

So Sebastian is very worried. After four years, when people compare the two Olympics, the London Olympics will definitely be defeated.

"What should I do?" Sebastian shook his head helplessly. Although he was the chairman of the London Olympics Organizing Committee, he didn't give him money, and he couldn't do anything.

The irritable Sebastian clicked another website, and the headlines were reporting the great achievement of Zhang Guan winning 10 gold medals.

"It's Zhang Guan again!" Sebastian frowned in disgust.

It is said that this well-known athlete in track and field events can obviously strengthen the momentum of track and field competitions around the world and bring help to track and field sports. Sebastian, who is the president of the IAAF, should respect Zhang Guan. . But the facts are just the opposite. He is an Englishman with a Cold War mentality. For a person with a Cold War mentality, everything in this country in the East is wrong and should be opposed. In his view, How can a red country host a successful Olympic Games?

Sebastian believes that China cannot host a successful Olympic Games. He originally came to see the joke. In his impression, China is still a poor and backward place, but the reality is that he has seen a big country have risen! But he was still reluctant to admit this. This kind of ideology is the most insurmountable.

Europe is like the age of Sebastian, and many people have a Cold War mentality. In the future Rio Olympic Games, all track and field athletes of the Russian track and field team were disqualified from participating, which is also inseparable from his thinking. At that time, some people in the Russian team did use stimulants, but it is impossible for one or two hundred people to use stimulants! But the IAAF directly came to death with a stick. No matter if you use useless stimulants, as long as you train in Russia, you can’t compete. If you are training in the United States, okay, then open the net! But in fact, the United States is the country with the most stimulants in the world.

"A successful Olympic Games has created a great athlete!" Sebastian silently read the subtitle of this news, but he had a vague idea in his mind.

"A successful Olympic Games? If some scandals can be created for Zhang Guan, people might not think so!" Sebastian thought of this and called Richards' phone.

Soon after, Richards came to Sebastian’s office.

"I have something you need to do." Sebastian continued: "Zhang Guan is really too hot recently. I don't want a certain athlete to dominate the track and field event. You must be able to Understand that an overly strong athlete is not a good thing for our IAAF, so I think it is necessary to suppress the Zhang Guan arrogance, I hope you can think of ways to create some troubles for Zhang Guan, such as the scandal Class..."

"Scandal?" Richards repeated the word.

"It is a scandal, such as playing big cards, such as disobeying the arrangements of the organizers, such as looking down on opponents, or doing some other inappropriate things. We hold so many games every year to create some public opinion should not No, just find someone to report! We just need to make people think that Zhang Guan is not as great as people think, he is still a person with great flaws. In short, we can't let people treat it as a god. Exists!" Sebastian found an excuse that didn't sound very reasonable.

"Uh..." Richards hesitated. He thought about it and said, "Mr. President, this is probably very difficult because Zhang Guan has not participated in our international field since the track and field World Cup two years ago. In the games hosted by the United Nations, he is playing tennis, and he did not participate in the games hosted by our IAAF. The only international track and field competition Zhang Guan has participated in in the past two years is the Olympic Games, but we cannot let the Chinese cooperate with us. Go to the trouble of their national hero."

Sebastian felt even more depressed. He was an IAAF chairman who wanted to find a track and field athlete. This is enough to make Sebastian feel suffocated.

Richards obviously also feels Sebastian’s suffocation. As a subordinate, of course, he must "anxiously lead the leadership" so that he can be promoted. I saw him take a step forward, lowered his voice, and said: "Mr. President, I have an idea to stink Zhang Guan, maybe this trick will make him never turn over!"

"What idea?" Sebastian asked.

"The urine samples of the athletes of this track and field event have been sent to our storage center in Switzerland, we can start from this aspect..." Richards fully revealed his plan.

"The risk of doing so is too great. If it is really successful, Zhang Guan will indeed not be able to turn over forever. Perhaps even the entire Chinese sports industry will be spurned by the world~IndoMTL.com~ But if it is known If we did it, we would never turn over!" Sebastian said.

Richards did not answer, he thought Sebastian rejected his idea, but only listened to Sebastian then said: "So this thing, you must do it yourself, I must me Let the third person know about this matter, and I will rest assured only if you do it yourself!"

For Sebastian, if he can stink Zhang Guan, it is certainly a very happy thing, but if he can stink together with the 2008 Olympic Games, then he will definitely do anything at all costs. In this way, at the London Olympics four years later, people will think of a 2008 scandal that is full of scandals, and the London Olympics will be called a clean reputation.

And Richard Zu suddenly smiled bitterly, although this bad idea was proposed by him, but he did not seem to be the one to implement it. As Sebastian said, the risk is too great, if you fail, you will lose yourself.

But now that Sebastian has spoken, Richards can only stubbornly agree.

A large net spreads towards Zhang Guan... (to be continued.) ()
