All-round Athlete

Chapter 102 The King of Athletics Moscow Indoor Competition

A day later, He Yiming rushed over from the capital.

In the room, all members of the championship team gathered together.

He Yiming opened his mouth and said: I checked with the internal relations. This time, the Swimming Association has played a tough role. If the little diving prince does not compromise and terminate the contract with the manager and the entertainment company, he may be punished. Out of the national team.

Such a heavy punishment? He has just won the Olympic championship, so he doesn't want to show any mercy. Zhuge Wenbo realized the seriousness of the matter.

He is still the Olympic champion for two consecutive times. He Yiming continued: The men's 10-meter platform and 10-meter synchro platform are Olympic champions, world championship champions, and World Cup champions. It can be said that he is the grand slam of the 10-meter platform event.

At this time, Xu Xiujie said: The entertainment company in Hong Kong that signed him also had business contacts with me. I got the news that the company offered a signing fee of 10 million Hong Kong dollars. This is already It’s the price of a popular first-line niche student in China.”

Sports stars are not as rich as ordinary people imagine. With the fame and strength of the little diving prince at that time, he was definitely the top athlete in China. He even dared to give up his sports career at the peak.

If his national diving team is fired, his reputation and popularity will definitely drop sharply, and the entertainment company will bear a lot of losses! Zhou Hanlin asked.

I feel that the entertainment company is gambling. However, once the Swimming Association's punishment is decided, it will have a great impact on us. I am afraid that the Athletic Association will follow suit and disband our championship team and take back Zhang Guan's money. Commercial development rights, that's troublesome. Zhuge Wenbo said.

Attorney Liu Jing finally spoke: We have signed an agreement, we have an advantage from a legal perspective, and we are not afraid of a lawsuit. But I am afraid that the Athletic Association will not go through legal procedures, but use some administrative means. In this way, I will not There is a way.

Why don't you take advantage of the 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 bow their heads.

Everyone fell into silence, obviously realizing that this was a difficult situation to break.

But only He Yiming kept smiling.

Brother He, did you already have a way to deal with it? Zhang Guan asked.

He Yiming showed a treacherous expression: Can't afford to provoke, can't we hide?

Can't afford to provoke, can afford to hide? Brother He, don't you let me run away! Zhang Guan didn't understand what He Yiming meant.

Run away? Don't say it so harshly. He Yiming waved his hand and continued, You are going abroad to participate in a competition to win glory for the country.

After He Yiming finished speaking, he put a piece of information in his hand in front of everyone. This is the event plan announced by the IAAF in 2005. He Yiming pointed to the season arrangement and said, Look, the Moscow Indoor Athletics Competition will be coming soon, and the Stuttgart Indoor Athletics Competition will be next. You should write an application now, saying that in order to maintain the state of the competition, you need to go abroad. Participate in the track and field indoor competition. We proposed that we can participate at our own expense, and if the central government wants to send people to follow, we can also pay for board and lodging on the plane.”

Great idea! Zhuge Wenbo clapped his hands and said, If the association really wants to make trouble, but it can't find you, participating in the competition abroad is a very legitimate excuse.

He Yiming continued to say: I will try my best to arrange for you to come back on February 5th, which happens to be the weekend, and then you go to the rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala. It's approaching the Spring Festival, and you have to pay attention to your appearance both officially and privately. Harmony, plus you are going to the Spring Festival Gala, so you are safe at this stage. Once the Spring Festival is over, continue to compete abroad. You see, the IAAF’s event plan continues until the end of February, and you can also hide until the end of February.

What about after that? March is full of cross-country races and race walking races, and I can't participate in them. I have to go back to China! Zhang Guan said.

You have participated in high-intensity competitions for a month, and you have injured your muscles and need treatment. I believe that you are safe during the injury period. If they really dare to attack the athletes during the injury period, they will not be able to explain it rationally. He Yiming said rascally.

Zhang Guan immediately understood that He Yiming was pretending to be sick. According to the underlying rules, there are many cases where athletes are punished before they get sick, but being punished after they are sick is a bit of a waste of time. The association will not do such a thing that loses face and face.

But looking at the intensive game plan in February, the intensity of the game is indeed very high, and injuries are justified. And after a high-intensity game, Zhang Guan really needed to take a break.

He Yiming went on to say, Wait until April, the IAAF Grand Prix series and the Golden League series will start one after another until the end of early September. Then there will be the 10th National Games and the East Asian Games, large-scale competitions I didn’t embarrass the athletes before. After the East Asian Games, it’s almost December. Isn’t this a year to escape! And as long as you can win a few championships during the period, it means you have more Capital, although it is impossible to have an equal dialogue with the association, at least it has the right to speak.

Actually, it doesn't take a year at all, more than half a year. When the turmoil over the diving is over and everyone stops paying attention, it will be fine. The leaders are busy with their affairs, so they won't always stare at the affairs of our championship team. Not letting go. Hong Zinan said with a smile.

It seems that everyone has no objection to my plan! He Yiming paused for a few seconds, seeing that everyone agreed, so he said to Zhang Guan: Zhang Guan, it's up to you to decide in the end.

Zhang Guan thought about it seriously, and felt that He Yiming's proposal should be the best plan. If the association really wanted to take action against the champion team, he would definitely not compromise. And using this method of delay can avoid confrontation with the association, and they can also leave more room for each other, without really tearing the skin apart. Even if they reach a compromise with each other in the future, the association can still live in face.

Okay, let's do what Brother He said! Zhang Guan said.

...

Field Management Center.

Application, dear leader: I haven't participated in any official competitions since last year's National Athletics Grand Prix Finals, and I personally feel that my competitive state has declined. In order to maintain a sufficient competitive state in the competition, I will ensure that I can compete in future competitions. With excellent performance, I can win 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 whole country. Now I am applying to go to Europe to participate in the indoor track and field competition (personal expense, and Can bear the cost of the center staff), please approve the leadership. Zhang Guan. January 5, 2005.

Director Luo looked at the application and felt a little puzzled.

What is Zhang Guan doing? He traveled all the way to Europe to participate in the competition, and paid for it at his own expense, and also paid for the expenses of the staff in the center. I know that you are rich, and you are not bad for that person, but it takes time to go back and forth. Isn't it? It's a big Chinese New Year holiday, and the national team should also have a holiday, so they can't be honest and stay at home for the Chinese New Year... Director Luo said to himself, and began to think about whether to approve it.

Director Luo looked at the title page outside the application again. There were a few large characters on it, Please read it, Director Luo. Behind it was Director Ma's signature, so Director Luo dialed Director Ma's phone number.

Old Ma, have you read Zhang Guan's application? Yes, do you think it's necessary to go to Europe to participate in the indoor competition? Director Luo asked.

Director, speaking from a factual point of view, if athletes do not participate in competitions for a long time, their bodies will gradually forget the feeling of the competition, and their competitive status will also decline. Sometimes it is indeed necessary to regain their status through competitions. The director continued: Moreover, Zhang Guan is also eligible to participate in the IAAF competition this year. It is the IAAF Golden League and Grand Prix. Zhang Guan is also eligible to participate. I think he is preparing to participate!

The IAAF Golden League! This is the track and field league that attracts the attention of the whole world. There are millions of dollars in prizes. In the past, our country's athletes didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the competition. This time, they can finally be on this stage! Director Luo said on his face. With a gratified smile, the invitation to the Golden League shows the recognition of the IAAF and the progress of the national track and field. Director Luo expects that in the future, more Chinese athletes will be on the world stage and stand at the top of the world.

Thinking of this, Director Luo's blood boiled with excitement, and then he wrote Agree on the application form.

...

In January and February, the temperature in Europe is still relatively cold, so some indoor track and field events are usually held at this time, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the following competitions. According to the usual practice, the first indoor competition in Europe every year is the Moscow Indoor Athletics Competition.

The scale of the indoor competitions will not be too large, and if a world record holder like Zhang Guan participates, the organizer will have to pay the entry fee.

The scale of the event is small, the funds are limited, and the appearance fee is only a mere 20,000 US dollars, but Zhang Guan doesn't care, because no matter how small the scale is, it is an international competition organized by the IAAF, and even indoor competitions have skill points . Being able to earn skill points is not a loss for Zhang Guan.

Moscow in late January is still very cold, the lowest temperature can reach minus 20 degrees, and this kind of coldness is different from the coldness in the north of China. The wind here is not too strong, so there is no feeling of biting cold wind. Just plain low temperatures.

But indoors, it is very warm. Natural gas in Russia is very cheap, and the hotel where Zhang Guan lives has also turned on the heating switch to full power, so staying in the hotel is still very comfortable.

Similarly, the venue for the competition is also very warm. The heating here is open 24 hours a day, 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 of it. The main reason is that once the heating is turned off at night, the cold at night will even frostbite the heating vents, and the temperature in the stadium will not be able to compete the next day.

Zhang Guan can be regarded as the biggest star in this track and field indoor competition, and probably the only world-class star. It is too cold in Russia this season, and the prize money is relatively small, so it cannot attract those big-name European and American players. Most of the players who come to participate are athletes from Eastern European and Central Asian countries.

The men's sprint event is obviously not the strong point of the Eastern European strong men, so Zhang Guan's entry has basically been determined by default as the champion of the indoor 60-meter event. However, in the women's sprint event, the beautiful girls from Eastern Europe have a very strong strength.

Although there were no other big-name athletes participating, just one Zhang Guan has made the organizers happy, and the faces of the sponsors are no longer like the weather in Moscow, especially when Zhang Guan appeared on the competition venue, the sponsors His expression instantly changed to that of a sunny beach in the Maldives.

Zhang, it's great that you can come to participate in the competition! Vaskov, the representative of the organizer, excitedly gave Zhang Guan a hug, and even grabbed Zhang Guan and began to wave to the surrounding reporters. The reporters took Zhang Guan to the rest area when they were almost done shooting.

Welcome to Russia, what do you think of Moscow? Vaskov asked.

I just arrived yesterday afternoon, and I haven't had a chance to appreciate the scenery of Moscow. Zhang Guan continued: But it's really too cold.

Yeah, it's really cold in Moscow this season, the average temperature is about minus ten degrees! In fact, Moscow in June is the most pleasant, with a mild climate and neither too much rain nor strong wind. , you can go to the Moscow River to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but in this season, there is only snow.” Vaskov changed his voice and continued: “Although the Moscow River cannot be visited, there are still many attractions worth visiting in Moscow. , such as Red Square, the Kremlin, Arbat Art Street, by the way, you can also visit Lenin’s Mausoleum when you go to Red Square, I know you Chinese are still very familiar with Lenin.”

Thank you for your introduction. I think I will definitely go if I have the chance. Zhang Guan replied politely.

No, no, you misunderstood me. 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 are willing. I don't know if you have any arrangements for tomorrow. If possible, we will send someone to take you to visit these attractions, which is also our sincere thanks to you for coming to participate in the competition.

Vaskov showed a look of embarrassment, and continued: Although our indoor track and field competition in Moscow is the first track and field indoor competition in Europe this year, to be honest, almost no players from Western Europe or America came to participate. The prize money is much less than that of Western European countries, and we cannot afford high appearance fees, so we are not attractive to star players. Your arrival is a big surprise for us, and the number of sponsors has also increased Part of the sponsorship budget, so that we can hold the game better, so as the organizer, we really hope that you can enjoy the game and enjoy a pleasant mood.”

Zhang Guan thought for a while, and finally came to Moscow, and it would be a bit of a loss not to visit the local attractions. He turned his head to look at the escort sent by the center, and found that the other party seemed to be looking forward to Moscow's attractions more than himself.

Well, thank you very much for your kind invitation. I am looking forward to enjoying the beautiful scenery of Moscow tomorrow. Zhang Guan agreed.
