Almighty Athlete Chapter 1: Yokohama Athletics All-Star Game
The Huangpu River in mid-September is still surrounded by the summer atmosphere. Although it is not midsummer, the temperature close to 30 degrees Celsius and the intense sunlight are still a very difficult test for many people.
Zhang Guan went to the university to report alone, but then the school leaders all hurriedly came over, and the admission procedures were specially prepared for Zhang Guan, and the military training did not need to participate. The school leaders were now focused on taking photos with Zhang Guan, Group photo of two people, group photo of three people, group photo of four people, group photo, group photo of visiting school. Then these photos will be sent to the school's website as quickly as possible. The propaganda staff began to quickly draft the manuscript. The school's photographers did not hesitate to tape. The camera desperately captured Zhang Guan's every move and prepared to catch the gold of the day. News of the period.
Competition among top domestic universities is also fierce. Subjects, academic achievements, senior talents, scientific research achievements, patent projects, etc. have been competing in all aspects. Fudan is of course the top level in the university, but if you mention the first university in the country, people still think of the two hundred-year-old stores in the capital, but this does not mean that Fudan is willing to fall behind. Although the arrival of Zhang Guan can not bring about improvement in academic level, the title of Olympic champion and "the world's first trapeze" is obviously a great boost to the school brand.
Then Zhang Guan immediately rushed to Xinzhuang Training Base to report. But what surprised Zhang Guan is that Liu Feiren and Coach Sun have not yet returned, and are probably still busy in commercial activities. In fact, Zhang Guan is similar, he will shoot an advertisement in the next two or three days. Fortunately, Yiming Consulting and Hero Advertising both have offices in Huangpu, so it saves time for Zhang Guan to travel around.
The Zhang Guan had a short period of adaptive training on the day. When the training was completed, Zhang Guan changed clothes, but found that the mobile phone showed several missed calls. The first few were called by the guide, and the last one was Zhuge. Wenbo called.
Zhang Guan first dialed the number of Yu Gui, and then the familiar voice of Yu Gui sounded from the mobile phone.
"I heard that you have reported to the Xinzhuang base? How about it, and adapt to it! I have arranged it before, if you are not used to it, you can tell the base's logistics directly." Yu Guikou said Said.
"Not bad, can adapt, the facilities here are really good, that is, the temperature here is still relatively hot. I have conducted adaptive training this afternoon, just finished training." Zhang Guan replied.
"That's good. You practice first. I bought the air ticket for the day after tomorrow to go to you. If the plane is not delayed, you can go to Xinzhuang base before noon." Yu Guikou said.
"Are you coming here?" Zhang Guan was slightly surprised, and then asked: "Is there another game?"
"Yes. Go abroad, go to Yokohama, Japan, and leave next week." Yu Guiyu continued: "Liu Feiren also went, but they shouldn't have returned to the Xinzhuang base yet. They should go back tomorrow. "
"Time is tight. What event is it?" Zhang Guan asked.
"Yokohama IAAF All-Star Game." Yu Guiwen added: "It's an invitational game, all invited are strong players. Alan Johnson will go to the 110-meter hurdles, your 100-meter sprint event will be the US team's Gatt Lin and Green will also go."
"Invitation Tournament!" Zhang Guan asked quietly: "The Japanese should spend a lot of money!"
Yu Gui, opposite the microphone, smiled embarrassingly, and then said: "Originally considering that the Olympic Games have just ended, athletes are more tired, the center is not going to let you participate, but considering that this is your Olympic champion For the first time abroad, Japan is a good destination, and it is also Asia, not very far away. And the Japanese organizer is very sincere, and the center finally agreed to your participation."
"This is going to Japan's dazzling champion!" Zhang Guan continued: "How much is Japan's sincerity worth?"
"One hundred thousand dollars. The organizer said that as long as you show up, you will be given a one hundred thousand dollar appearance fee, reimbursed for the round-trip air ticket, and also arranged a fan meeting for you, a twenty-thousand dollar appearance fee." Yu Guixiang thought After thinking about it, I went on to say: "There is still a very high prize, the 100m champion has two hundred thousand dollars."
"It's really quite a lot. The Japanese are willing to make money. The Japanese don't make money. They must go." Zhang Guan said, "But are the Japanese also masochistic? Are we going to spend money on our faces?" "
The entry fee for sports games is lower than the entry fee for commercial activities. After American Morris Green won the Olympic title four years ago, his playing fee could reach 20,000 US dollars; and after Montgomery broke the world record two years ago, his playing fee was about 25,000 US dollars; consider When it comes to inflation and other factors, if you give the Zhang Guan an entry fee, $30,000 should be a relatively reasonable price. So the Japanese gave the price of one hundred thousand dollars more than three times the normal price.
Guide Zhong Yu then went on to say: "In fact, there are other more important reasons for sending you to the game. In the past week, there was a very bad wind direction in international sports public opinion. They said that you and Liu Feiren were able to The Olympic champion was won only because of better luck. They think that in the 110-meter hurdle event, because Alan Johnson retired, Liu Feiren picked up a gold medal; and the 100-meter sprint was because the Americans were in a bad state, so you were let Won the gold medal."
"Liu Feiren won the world record with a flat record. I won the world record. This won't shut their mouths. When Americans are in good condition, I haven't seen a world record to show me." Zhang Guan disdain Said.
"European and American countries can't see our rise. Not only the economic and military aspects, but also the sports aspect. So this time you have to run well, and you have to fight for it without steaming buns!" Yu Guidao said After a pause, he said, "After this All-Star Game, I will be back soon to go to Luzhou to participate in the finals of the National Athletics Grand Prix. The next week's schedule will be more intensive. You need to be mentally prepared."
Zhang Guan counted the time and said, "Wouldn’t it be that I would return to Japan and then go to Luzhou? Time is a little tight!"
"Yes. You must also go to the finals of the National Athletics Grand Prix. The audience in Luzhou is very enthusiastic. I heard that you are going to have already emptied more than 10,000 tickets. And In the finals, major sponsors will also participate, so our center hopes to make the competition more lively. If you go to participate, it will be very helpful for the sponsors of international track and field events to sign appointments next year."
Here he said this as a guide, as if he remembered something, and then said: "The game will start next week. We should pay attention to eating recently. All three meals are eaten in the base, don't eat outside."
After ending the call with Yu Yu, Zhang Guan called Zhuge Wenbo’s mobile phone again.
"Nike’s endorsement has been negotiated." Zhuge Wenbo continued on his mobile phone: "20 million in two years, which includes the cost of an advertisement. Of the 20 million, 15 million is cash. , 5 million is sponsored by sports equipment, what do you think, if I can, I can sign here tomorrow morning."
"Brother Wenbo, you are so powerful, I thought it would be good to give me five or six million a year, so if you count it in cash, it would be 7.5 million a year, and 2.5 million in sponsorship. So much money, definitely Sign!" Zhang Guan said.
Zhang Guan knows that, to be fair, the price code given by Neck is definitely quite high. Among other athletes, Liu Feiren's endorsement price with Neike after winning the Olympics is 4 million, the diving prince's signing rebuke fee is 3 million, and among domestic football players, Everton's big iron is 200 per year. For the endorsement fee of 10,000 yuan, Haidong played by Xie Lian is 1.5 million per year. So compared to this, Nike also paid a big price on Zhang Guan, which can be regarded as the first in China.

America.
Zack returned to his place with a tired look, and then lay on the sofa and never wanted to get up again.
He just visited several angel investors in Silicon Valley and several investment organizations that favored the technology industry, hoping to get their investment, but the conditions that those greedy angel investors and investment institutions opened made him unacceptable. Investors not only asked him for shares, but also the company's regulatory and control rights.
"If I promise those investors, then FB is no longer my company, no, absolutely not! I can't let anyone take away my company!" Zac thought of those investors' faces. Start to get angry.
But Zac thought about it, if there is no financial support, the FB he founded will certainly have no way to continue, maybe next month, he can’t even pay for the server rental fee!
Since the establishment of FB in February, the number of users has continued to expand, but not long ago, another social networking site CONNECTU brought FB to court, accusing Zac of illegally using their development source code. In the United States, it takes money to fight this kind of lawsuit for implementing property rights. It costs money to find a lawyer, provide evidence, find an endorsement by an expert, etc. Zac has no money now.
So in the past few days, Zac began to look for investment, from Boston to Silicon Valley, he found many investors, and many investors were very interested in Zac’s FB, but all investors requested the same Something, that is, the voting power of the board of directors, and some even require to occupy more than 50% of the equity, this condition Zac is absolutely unacceptable ~ What about IndoMTL.com~? what should I do? No, I can't give up. If it doesn't, I will go to New York tomorrow and find opportunities on Wall Street. "Although Zack knows that all the business people on Wall Street eat people and don't spit bones, but he is exhausted, he has to try it.
At this moment, Zac's phone rang. He picked up the phone and looked at it, a strange phone number.
"It must be telemarketing again, this mortal telemarketing!" Zac hung up the phone directly, but did not expect that the number would call again three minutes later, when Zac answered the phone.
"Hello, are you the founder of FB, Mr. Zack?" said on the other side of the phone.
"Not an American, this is not an American accent, is it an English or an Australian." Zac can't tell the origin of the other from the other's accent. Then he said, "Hello, this is Zach, who are you?"
"Please forgive me for taking the time to disturb me. My name is Alan Chen. I am a representative of Hong Kong Fidelity Investment Company. Our company feels that FB is a very promising project. We hope to invest in this project." The other party said.
"Invest!" Zak Meng sat up from the sofa and said immediately: "Mr. Chen, sorry, did you just say you want to invest?"
"Yes, investment, I don't know when Mr. Zack has time, we can meet and discuss in detail." Chen said.
"I have time now!" Zac instantly got the spirit: "If we can, we can meet now!"
