Chapter 76 The Prince's Invitation

In the afternoon, Zhang Guan returned to the Olympic Village. He had just returned to his room when he heard a knock on the door. It was Director Ma.

Zhang Guan, you will be busy now. Director Ma said straight to the point: Director Hou personally approved you to be the flag bearer for the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games. It seems that you will not leave Athens until after the Olympic Games.

Zhang Guan was slightly surprised, but then calmed down immediately. According to his achievements in this Olympic Games, it is understandable to serve as the flag bearer of the closing ceremony of the national team. It's just that it will take some time to participate in the rehearsal for the closing ceremony.

Director Ma went on to say, In addition, you have to go out with me. Counselor Zhu from the embassy is here, and he came here specially to find you. It's not easy to enter the athlete's dormitory, so I'll wait for you in the front lounge.

Zhang Guan followed Director Ma to the lounge and met Counselor Zhu. After the two exchanged a few polite words, Counselor Zhu opened his mouth to get to the point. Zhu Canzhan took out a golden invitation card from his briefcase, which was written in both English and Arabic after opening. Naturally, Zhang Guan didn't know Arabic, and the English was also written in handwriting, so it was very difficult for Zhang Guan to recognize it.

Zhang Guan, this is an invitation card to invite you to the Olympic party. I am here this time, in addition to passing this invitation card to you, I also hope that you can participate in this party. Counselor Zhu said.

Zhang Guan looked at the horse guide next to him, and then asked: Isn't our national team not wanting athletes to participate in this kind of entertainment?

This also depends on the specific situation. Director Ma said vaguely, and at the same time motioned for Counselor Zhu to explain.

Counselor Zhu pointed to a place on the invitation and said: The person who sent you the invitation is not an ordinary person. He is the eldest son of the King of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, and his name is Sheikh Rashid bin Mohammed - Bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

Counselor Zhu said such a long name in one breath, but his face did not blush and his heart beat, while Zhang Guan only remembered the words Ben and Muhammad.

Counselor Zhu continued: This name is too long, we can call him Prince Sheikh Rashid for short. This Prince Sheikh Rashid loves sports, and he even participated in the Asian Games. And he has won medals. Prince Sheikh Rashid likes to make friends with sports champions from various countries. This time he hosted this private party and invited all the champions of this Olympic Games. It seems that he really wants to meet you know.

Zhang Guan nodded. The United Arab Emirates is a rich country in the Middle East, and Dubai is a world-renowned rich city. As the eldest prince of the Emirate of Dubai, he must be the richest of the rich. Since he is a rich man, it is possible to do anything.

Counselor Zhu returned the invitation to Zhang Guan, and said at the same time: In recent years, our country's demand for oil has soared, and we have been looking for more suppliers to ensure our energy security. After the Iraq war last year, the international oil The rationing has not been very stable. Oil has become OPEC's biggest weapon, and our country's economic development requires a lot of oil. So at the strategic level, we hope to strengthen cooperation with the UAE and increase oil imports from the UAE .”

However, we have been negotiating with the UAE for a long time but we can't make a breakthrough. Abu Dhabi has been waiting for a price. There are many factors in it. Therefore, the country decided to launch a series of public relations activities. The main target of public relations is not only Abu Dhabi Beyond that, is the Emirate of Dubai. The Emirate of Dubai controls almost all of the UAE’s non-oil trade, and if the Emirate of Dubai’s will is very important to Abu Dhabi.”

The United Arab Emirates consists of six small emirates, the largest of which is the emirate of Abu Dhabi, which is also the main source of oil in the UAE. The chief of the emirate of Abu Dhabi is also the president of the UAE and is the leader of the UAE.

The Emirate of Dubai is the second largest emirate in the United Arab Emirates. The chief of the Emirate of Dubai is also the vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, which is the second in command of the United Arab Emirates. Although the Emirate of Dubai is not as rich in oil as Abu Dhabi, it controls the foreign trade of the UAE, especially the non-oil foreign trade is basically controlled by the Emirate of Dubai. Although the oil countries in the Middle East are rich, many industrial products and daily necessities need to be imported. Therefore, the Emirate of Dubai, which controls foreign trade, undoubtedly controls most of the lifeline of the UAE.

Counselor Zhu continued: Prince Sheikh Rashid, as the eldest prince of the King of the Emirate of Dubai, is also an important public relations target for us. But this prince has been keen on various entertainment and sports activities recently. Our people think I wanted to contact him but did not find an opportunity. Another point is that Dubai has been developing tourism in recent years. Recently, they are planning to strengthen the use of photovoltaic energy. It is expected to invest billions of dollars. Our country’s photovoltaic companies are also preparing to participate in the bidding , but this kind of large-scale bidding process is quite complicated. Therefore, we urgently hope to get in touch with Prince Sheikh Rashid, and it is best to find out the bottom line of the real needs of Dubai people. Very advantageous.

Zhang Guan nodded. After all, it’s a seller’s market. People can’t help it even if they find excuses to disappear. Then Zhang Guan asked: “So you want to contact Prince Sheikh Rashid through me? Then I need to do what?

You just need to go to the party. We will send someone to serve as your interpreter to attend the party with you. After that, he will naturally find a way to get in touch with the prince. You can enjoy your party with peace of mind. Zhu The counselor said with a smile.

You mean that as long as I am your ticket? Zhang Guan asked.

You can also put it that way! You just need to bring our people into the venue. Counselor Zhu paused, and then said: This Prince Sheikh Rashid has a weird personality. He has met with him many times, but he refused for various reasons, so we can only meet him in the way he likes.

Okay. No problem, I will follow the arrangement of the organization. Zhang Guan agreed without hesitation.

Thank you. Then you have to go out with me later. We need to make a dress for you. Don't worry about the cost, we will take care of it.

...

There are two highlights in this day's Olympic competition. One is the opening of the diving event, which is another major event for the national team to win gold. Another highlight is the appearance of Liu Feiren in the men's 110-meter hurdles.

Liu Feiren was assigned to the third group, and he easily won the first place in the group and advanced to the second round; another player from the track and field team, Da Shi, was less lucky and failed to enter the second round.

In addition, in other track and field competitions, the pole vault queen Isinbayeva successfully won the championship and broke the world record again.

It is worth mentioning that in the men's 200-meter sprint competition, Yang Yao broke into the second round historicly, while the 18-year-old Jamaican young player Usain Bolt was eliminated in the first round due to injury , ended his first Olympic journey.

...

The next morning, Zhang Guan will accept an exclusive interview with CCTV. These kinds of interviews are all drafted in advance, and what should be said and how to say it has been arranged. Zhang Guan only needs to read it according to the draft.

After the interview, it was almost noon, Zhang Guan was about to leave for lunch, but Director Ma walked in excitedly.

Director Ma threw several newspapers in front of Zhang Guan, and said, What's going on?

Zhang Guan picked up a newspaper, which was an English newspaper, but one of the headlines had been marked by Director Ma with a pen, and Zhang Guan could barely understand it with his English level.

Olympic champion wins tens of millions of spinach prize money

Zhang Guan put down the newspaper and said, Director Ma, you also know about it before. I bought some sports lottery before, and I bought myself to win the 100-meter sprint championship. I almost got punished for this matter.

That's not what I asked! I know about the spinach you bought. What I asked is what happened to 10 million? Why is there 10 million? Several people called early in the morning to ask, Director Lian Hou I have personally intervened. Director Ma said and took a long breath: This is 10 million euros, according to the current exchange rate, it will cost hundreds of millions in China!

Back when I bought lottery tickets, I bought a little more, so the bonus I got was higher. Zhang Guan continued: In fact, it's not that much. After all, the bonus has to be taxed.

100 million, I have never seen so much money in my life! If I had known that you would win the Olympic Games, I would have followed you to buy some, so you don't have to worry about retirement. Director Ma said.

Director Ma, you are still very young, and you are still too early to retire! Zhang Guan said with a smile.

You! I can see that you are a monkey grandson, where do you have to make trouble for me! Director Ma continued helplessly: Did you know that just two hours ago, the US team asked the Olympic Committee Report that you have made more than ten million euros in profits through the competition, that you are suspected of manipulating the competition, that you violate sportsmanship and sportsmanship, and ask the Olympic Organizing Committee to cancel your gold medal.

What did the Olympic Organizing Committee say? Do you want to investigate? Do you need me to explain? Zhang Guan asked.

Director Ma shook his head, and continued: The Olympic Organizing Committee is not an idiot. If it is said that a certain athlete deliberately loses the competition and then makes a profit through gambling, it is still possible, but have you heard of that athlete deliberately winning the competition? It is natural for an athlete to win a game, and if you win the championship by breaking a record, can the world record be broken on purpose? If according to American logic, winning the championship is deliberately manipulating the game, then every Olympic champion is not Intentionally manipulating the game. So the fairness committee did not accept it.

The Americans can't afford to lose. Winning the game is said to be against sportsmanship and sportsmanship. According to this logic, the national football team should be given a sportsmanship and morality award. Anyway, they always lose games, but it reflects sportsmanship. And sportsmanship. Zhang Guan said with a smile.

Director Ma didn't answer, but said: The US team is really in a hurry now. Halfway through the track and field event, they are still behind in the gold medal list, so they are starting to play dirty tricks!
