Almighty Athlete Chapter 11: Moscow indoor competition
One day later, He Yiming came over from the capital.
In the room, all the members of the championship team gathered together.
He Yiming said, "I asked the internal Guanxi to inquire, but this time the swimming association made a big deal. If the diving prince never compromises again, and does not terminate the contract with the broker and entertainment company, , May be eliminated from the national team."
"Such heavy punishment? But he just won the Olympic champion, doesn't he have any affection?" Zhuge Wenbo realized the seriousness of the matter.
"It's still two consecutive Olympic champions." He Yiming continued: "The men's Olympic champion, world championship and World Cup champion of the 10-meter double platform and the 10-meter double platform. It can be said that he is the full champion of the 10-meter platform Slam."
At this time, Xu Xiujie said, "The Hong Kong entertainment company that signed him also has business contacts with me. I got the news here that the company has issued a contract fee of 10 million Hong Kong dollars. This is already the price of a popular first-line student in China."
Sports stars are not as rich as ordinary people would like in Xiàng. With the fame and strength of the diving prince at that time, they are definitely the top athletes in the country. For this reason, he even dared to put his sports career at the peak.
"If his national diving team is expelled, fame and popularity will definitely drop sharply, and the entertainment company will also suffer a lot of losses!" Zhou Hanlin asked.
"I feel that the entertainment company is betting. However, once the punishment of the swimming association is decided, it will still have a great impact on us. I am afraid that the Tian Association will also draw on the gourd and let our championship team disband and withdraw Zhang Guan’s commercial development rights are in trouble.” Zhuge Wenbo said.
Lawyer Liu Jing finally said: "We have signed an agreement, we have an advantage from the legal level, and we are not afraid of litigation. But I am afraid that the Tian Xie will not take legal procedures. Instead, I will use some administrative means. I have no choice."
"Should I use public opinion?" Hong Zinan continued: "I can contact the media to help us build momentum."
"Difficult!" Liu Jing shook his head: "Sometimes, when the law is helpless, the media will also bow their heads."
Everyone fell silent. Obviously, this was a difficult situation.
But only, He Yiming has been tweeting.
"Hege, have you already had a solution?" Zhang Guan asked.
He Yiming showed an old sly expression: "Can't afford it, can't we still avoid it?"
"Can't afford to provoke, can't hide? Brother He, you should let me run!" Zhang Guan did not understand the meaning of He Yiming.
"Run? Don't make it so ugly." He Yiming waved his hand. Then he said: "You are going abroad to participate in the competition and win glory for the country."
After He Yiming finished speaking, he put a piece of information in front of everyone. This is the schedule of the 2005 IAAF announced event. I saw that He Yiming pointed to this season's schedule and said: "Look, it's Moscow Indoor Track and Field, and the next is the Stuttgart Indoor. You should write an application now, and say that in order to maintain the state of the game. Participate in track and field indoor competitions. We propose that we can participate at our own expense. If the center wants to send people to follow, we can also send out wallets, planes and lodging."
"Good idea!" Zhuge Wenbo clapped his hands and said, "If the association really wants to make a difficult statement then. But I can't find you. It's a legitimate excuse to participate in the competition abroad."
Only He Yiming continued: "I try to arrange for you to come back on February 5, which happens to be the weekend. But hòu you go to the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala. This is near the Spring Festival, whether it is official or public You have to pay attention to harmony, plus you have to go to the Spring Festival Gala. So you are safe at this stage. Once the Spring Festival is over, continue to go abroad. You see, this IAAF event plan continues until the end of February, you can also hide By the end of February."
"Then after that? March are all cross-country races and walking races, I can't participate, I have to return home!" Zhang Guan said.
"You have participated in a high-intensity competition for a month, and your muscles are injured and need treatment. I believe you are safe during the injury. If they really dare to make trouble during the injury period of the athletes, Yu Qingli will not explain. In the past." He Yiming said roguely.
Zhang Guan immediately understood that He Yiming made himself pretend to be sick. According to the potential rules, athletes are punished before they get sick. However, if the athletes are ill, they will be punished a little bit to kill the donkey. The association will not do this kind of loss of face and money.
But looking at the intensive competition plan in February, the intensity of the competition is indeed very high, and there are injuries that are justified. And after a high-intensity game, Zhang Guan really needs a break.
He Yiming went on to say, "In April, the IAAF Grand Prix series and the Golden League series will begin one after another until the end of early September. However, hòu is followed by the 10th National Games and East Asia. At the Games, the athletes will not be embarrassed before the large-scale competition. The East Asian Games will be close to December, will you hide in this year! And as long as you can win a few championships during the period, it means there are More capital, although it is impossible to have an equal dialogue with the association, but at least have the power to speak."
"Actually, it doesn’t take a year or half a year at all. When the storm over the dive is over, everyone will stop paying attention and it will be fine. The leaders are busy, and they will not always stare at our championship The team's affairs will not be ignored." Hong Zinan said with a smile.
"It seems that everyone has no opinion on my plan!" He Yiming stopped for a few seconds and saw everyone agree, so he said to Zhang Guan: "Zhang Guan, it is ultimately up to you to decide."
Zhang Guan thought about it seriously and felt that He Yiming should put forward the best plan. If the association really wants to work on the championship team, he will definitely not compromise. With this method of procrastination, you can avoid a confrontation with the association, and you can leave some room for each other, and you will not actually tear your face. Even if you reach a compromise with each other in the future, the association will pass the face.
"Okay, let's do it according to He Ge!" Zhang Guan said.
......
Field Management Center.
"Apply, respectable leader: Since last year’s National Athletics Grand Prix Finals, I have not participated in any official competitions, and I personally feel that the competitive state has declined. In order to maintain a sufficient competitive state in the competition. Ensure that in the future I can play well in the competition, get more gold medals and break more records in the competition, continue to win glory for the motherland, and live up to the expectations of the people of the country. I now apply to go to Europe to participate in the indoor track and field competition (personal At your own expense, and can bear the cost of the center staff), please lead the approval. Zhang Guan. January 5, 2005."
Looking at this application, Director Luo felt a little inexplicable.
"Zhang Guan what is this for? Da Lao Yuan went to Europe to participate in the competition, and paid for it at his own expense. I also paid for the cost of the staff of the center. I know you have money. It’s not that bad. It’s not time to spend the time? This big New Year, the national team should also take a holiday, don’t honestly stay at home for the New Year..." Director Luo said to himself, and began to think about whether to approve.
Director Luo also looked at the title page outside the application. On the miàn, there was a few words "Please ask Director Luo to read the office." followed by the signature of Director Ma, so Director Luo dialed Director Ma’s call huà.
"Old horse, you have read the application of Zhang Guan. Right, do you think it is necessary to apply for the indoor competition in Europe?" Director Luo asked.
"Director, from a factual point of view. If an athlete does not participate in the game for a long time, the body will slowly forget the feeling of the game, and the competitive state will also decline. Sometimes it is necessary to retrieve the state through the game. "Director Ma continued: "And this year Zhang Guan is also eligible to participate in the IAAF competition. It is the IAAF Golden League and Grand Prix, Zhang Guan are eligible to participate, I think he is ready to participate!"
"The IAAF Golden League! This is a track and field league that has attracted worldwide attention. There are millions of dollars in prizes. In the past, athletes in our country did not even have the qualifications to participate. This time I can finally be on this stage! The director's face showed a gratifying smile. The invitation of the Golden League explained the recognition of the IAAF and the progress of the national track and field. Director Luo looks forward to seeing more Chinese athletes on the world stage in the future, who can stand on the pinnacle of the world.
Thinking about this, Director Luo was so excited that he wrote the word "agree" on the application.
......
In January and February, the temperature in Europe is still relatively cold, so at this time, some indoor track and field events are generally held, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the next competition. In accordance with established practice, the first indoor competition in Europe each year is the Moscow indoor track and field competition.
The scale of the indoor competition will not be too large, and if the athletes of the world record holder level such as Zhang Guan participate, the organizers will have to pay the court fees.
The size of the event is small, the funding is limited, and the appearance fee is only 20,000 US dollars. However, Zhang Guan does not care, because the size of the event is also an international competition organized by the IAAF. Even the indoor competition has skills. Ordered. Being able to earn skill points is not a loss for Zhang Guan.
Moscow in late January is still very cold, the minimum temperature can reach minus 20 degrees, and this cold is not the same as the cold in northern China. The wind here is not too big, so there is no such cold wind. The feeling is simply that the temperature is low.
But indoors, it is very warm. The natural gas in Russia is very cheap, and the hotel where Zhang Guan lives is also fully heated by the heating switch, so it is still very comfortable to stay in the hotel.
Similarly, the stadium is very warm. The heating here is open 24 hours, even if there is no one in the middle of the night, the venue is still warm. Of course, the price of natural gas is only one aspect. The main reason is that once the heating is turned off at night, the cold night will even frost the heater, and the temperature in the venue will not be able to compete the next day.
Zhang Guan is regarded as the most dà brand star in this track and field indoor competition, and I am afraid that it is also the only world-class star. Russia this season is too cold, and the bonus is relatively small, so it does not attract those big-name European and American players, most of the participants are athletes from Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
The men’s sprinting event is obviously not the strong point of the Eastern European strong men, so the Zhang Guan competition has basically set the champion of the indoor 60m event. However, in the women's sprint event, the beautiful girls from Eastern Europe have great strength.
Although there are no other big-name athletes participating, only one Zhang Guan has made the organizers happy, and the sponsors’ faces are no longer like the weather in Moscow, especially when Zhang Guan appears at the competition venue. His expression instantly turned into the kind of sunshine on the Maldives beach.
"Zhang, it's great that you can come to the competition!" The representative of the organizer, Vascov, gave Zhang Guan a hug in excitement, and would hug Zhang Guan and start waving to the reporters around him. After the reporters were about to shoot, they brought Zhang Guan to the rest area in person.
"Welcome to Russia, what do you think of Moscow?" Vaskov asked.
"I arrived in the afternoon yesterday, and I haven't had the opportunity to experience the scenery of Moscow." Zhang Guan continued: "But it's really too cold."
"Yes, Moscow is really cold this season, the average temperature is about minus ten degrees! In fact, Moscow in June is the most pleasant, the climate is mild, there will not be too much rain, there will not be very The strong wind can go to the Moscow River and enjoy the beautiful scenery, but in this season, there is only snow." Vaskov's voice changed, and then said: "Although the Moscow River can't go, there are still many in Moscow. Attractions worth visiting, such as Red Square, Kremlin Palace, and Art Street in Arbat. By the way, when you go to Red Square, you can also visit a tomb of Shuning. I know you Chinese are still very familiar with Lenin."
"Thank you for your introduction, I think I will go there organically." Zhang Guan replied politely.
"No, no, you misunderstood what I meant." Vaskov said with a smile on his face: "Actually, I want to invite you to visit these attractions on behalf of the organizer, if you want to ~IndoMTL.com~ I I don’t know if you have any arrangements for tomorrow. If possible, we will send someone to take you to see these attractions. This is also our sincere gratitude to you for coming to the competition.”
Vaskov showed a very embarrassed expression, and then said: "Although our indoor competition in Moscow is the first track and field indoor competition in Europe this year, it is not a secret, and almost no Western European or American players came to participate. , Our prize money is much less than the prize money of Western European countries, we can not afford the high cost of appearance, so it is not attractive to star players. Your arrival is a big surprise for us, and the sponsors are also Therefore, part of the sponsorship budget has been increased, so that we can organize the competition better, so as the organizer, we hope that you can enjoy the shòu competition and enjoy a happy mood."
Zhang Guan thought about it, and finally came to Moscow, and it was indeed a loss to not visit the local attractions. He turned around and looked at the **** from the center and found that the other party seemed to look forward to the sights of Moscow more than he did.
"Okay, thank you very much for your kind invitation, and I look forward to enjoying the beautiful scenery of Moscow tomorrow." Zhang Guan agreed to come down. (To be continued.)
