章 102: Moscow Indoors
One day later, He Yiming came over from Beijing.
In the room, all the members of the championship team gathered together.
He Yiming said: "I found out about the internal relationship and inquired about it. This time the swimming association made a big deal. If the diving prince does not compromise anymore and does not terminate the contract with the broker and entertainment company, he may be punished and eliminated from the national team."
"Such heavy punishment? But he has just won the Olympic championship. Isn't he going to stay in love?" Zhuge Wenbo realized the seriousness of the matter.
"It's still two consecutive Olympic championships." He Yiming continued, "The men's Olympic championship, World Championship championship, and the World Cup championship of the 10-meter double platform. It can be said that he is a slam in the 10-meter platform."
At this time, Xu Xiujie said, "The Hong Kong entertainment company that signed him has also had 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 the popular first-line niche in China."
Sports stars are not as rich as ordinary people think. With the fame and strength of the diving prince at that time, they are the top athletes in the country, but even so, 10 million Hong Kong dollars can not be earned in his life. He even dared to give up his sports career at the peak.
"If he is expelled from the national diving team, fame and popularity will decline sharply, and the entertainment company will also bear a lot of losses!" Zhuge Wenbo asked.
"I feel that the entertainment company is betting. But 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 rely on the gourd to make the championship team disband and take back Zhang Guan's right to commercial development, then it will be troublesome." Zhuge Wenbo said.
Lawyer Liu Jing finally sai, "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 side will not go through legal procedures, but there is a way which is the use of some administrative means."
"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. This was a difficult situation.
But only, He Yiming has been smiling.
"Brother, do you already have a solution?" Zhang Guan asked.
He Yiming showed an old sly expression: "Since we can't afford it, can't we still hide it?"
"Can't get upset, can't hide? Brother He, you should let me run!" Zhang Guan didn't understand the meaning of He Yiming.
"Running? Don't say so that." He Yiming waved his hand, and then said: "You are going abroad to participate in the competition and win glory for the country."
He Yiming finished speaking, he put a piece of information in front of everyone. This is a game plan announced by the 2005 IAAF. 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'll fill out an application now and 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 wants to make a difficult statement, but it can't find you, it is a legitimate excuse to participate in the competition abroad."
He Yiming only said: "I try to arrange for you to come back on February 5th, which happens to be the weekend, and then you can go to the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala. This is approaching the Spring Festival, whether it is on the official or the public 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 race abroad. You see, this IAAF event plan continues until the end of February, you can also hide to the end of February. "
"What about after that? During March, its all cross-country races and walking races. I can't participate again. I have to go back to China!" Zhang Guan said.
"You have participated in a high-intensity competition for a month, and your muscles are injured and need treatment. I believe that you are safe during the injury. If they dare to make trouble during the athletes' injury period, Yu Yili can't explain it." He Yiming said roguery.
Zhang Guan immediately understood that He Yiming wants him to pretend to be sick. According to the potential rules, athletes are punished before they get sick. However, if athletes are punished after they are sick there is a bit of a feeling of killing donkeys. The association will not do this kind of loss of face and money.
However, looking at the intensive competition plan in February, the intensity of the competition is indeed very high, and injuries are justified. And after a high-intensity game, Zhang Guan needs a break.
He Yiming went on to say, "In April, the IAAF Grand Prix series and the Golden League series will start one after another until the end of September. Then there will be the 10th National Games and the East Asian Games, large-scale competitions It's not embarrassing for athletes to hide before the East Asian Games is almost over to December. Isn't it a year to hide! And as long as you can win a few championships during this period, it means there is more capital, although it is impossible to have an equal dialogue with the association, at least you will have the right to speak."
"It doesn't take a year or half a year. When the storm over, the dive is over, everyone will stop paying attention and it's ok. The leaders are busy, they won't always stare at our championship team, and will have to let go" 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's up to you to decide."
Zhang Guan thought about it seriously and felt that He Yiming's proposal should be the best plan. If the association wants to work on the championship team, they will not compromise. With this method of procrastination, you can avoid a confrontation with the association, and you can leave more room for each other, and you will not 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 Brother He!" Zhang Guan said.
...
Field Management Center.
Dear Leader,
Since last year's National Athletics Grand Prix finals, I have not participated in any official competitions, and I feel that the competitive state has declined. To maintain sufficient competitive state in the competition, ensure that in the future competitions I will continue producing excellent performance so I can 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. Please bear the cost of the center staff, please ask the leadership for approval.
Zhang Guan. January 5, 2005.
Director Luo looked at the application and felt a little inexplicable.
"What is Zhang Guan doing? Zhang Yuan went to Europe to participate in the competition, and he paid for it at his own expense. I also knew that you have money, and that person is not bad, but it takes effort to go back and forth. No? This big New Year, the national team should also take a holiday, stay at home to spend the Chinese New Year..." Director Luo said to himself, began to think about whether to approve.
Director Luo also looked at the title page outside the application, which had the words "Please ask Director Luo to read it." Followed by Director Ma's signature, so Director Luo called Director Ma's phone.
"Old horse, you read Zhang Guan's application, 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 athletes do 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 went on to say, "And this year Zhang Guan is also eligible to participate in IAAF competitions. It is the IAAF Gold League and Grand Prix. Zhang Guan is 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, they can finally be on this stage!" Director Luo's face with a smile of relief, the invitation of the Golden League illustrates the IAAF's recognition 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 top of the world.
Thinking of this, Director Luo was so excited that he wrote the words "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 indoors, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the subsequent competitions. By 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 for athletes like Zhang Guan, a world record holder, to participate, the organizers will have to pay the court fees.
The scale of the competition is small, and the funding is limited. The appearance fee is only 20,000 US dollars, but Zhang Guan does not care, because the scale is also an international competition organized by the IAAF. Even indoor competition has skills so being able to earn skill points is not a loss for Zhang Guan.
Moscow in late January is still very cold, and the minimum temperature can reach minus 20 degrees, and this cold is not the same as the cold in the north of the country. The wind here is not too big, so there is no feeling of cold wind. It's just 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 in the middle of the night when there is no one in the stadium. 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 warm air vent, and the temperature in the venue will not be able to compete the next day.
Zhang Guan is the biggest star in this track and field indoor competition, and I am afraid it is also the only world-class star. This season, Russia is too cold, and the bonus is relatively small, so it did not attract those big-name European and American players. Most of the participants are athletes from Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
The men's sprint event is not the strong point of the Eastern European strong men, so Zhang Guan's entry has stipulated the championship of the indoor 60-meter event. However, in the women's sprint event, the beautiful girls from Eastern Europe have great strength.
Although no other big-name athletes are participating, only one Zhang Guan has made the organizers happy, and the face of the sponsors are no longer like the weather in Moscow, especially when Zhang Guan appears on the competition venue The expression instantly turned into the sunshine of the Maldives beach.
"Zhang, it's great that you can come to the competition!" The representative of the organizer, Vaskov, hugged Zhang Guan excitedly, and would also grab Zhang Guan and start waving to the reporters around him. When the reporters were almost done, they brought Zhang Guan to the rest area.
"Welcome to Russia, what do you think of Moscow?" Vaskov asked.
"I arrived yesterday afternoon, and I haven't had a chance to experience the scenery of Moscow." Zhang Guan continued: "But it's too cold."
"Yes, Moscow is cold this season. The average temperature is about minus ten degrees! Moscow in June is the most pleasant. The climate is mild, there will not be too much rain, and there will be no big winds. You 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 you can't go to the Moscow River, there are still many attractions in Moscow city worth visiting, for example, Red Square, Kremlin Palace, Arbat Art Street. By the way, when you go to Red Square, you can also visit a tomb of Shunning. I know your Chinese are still very familiar with Lenin."
"Thank you for your introduction, I think I will go when I have the opportunity." Zhang Guan replied politely.
"No, no, you misunderstood what I mean." 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. I don't know if you have any plans tomorrow, If possible, we will send someone to take you to visit these attractions, which 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. Few Western European or American players came to participate. The prize money is much less than the prize money in Western European countries, and we can't afford the high cost of playing, so it is not attractive to star players. Your arrival is a big surprise for us, and the sponsors have increased part of the sponsorship budget so that we can organize the competition better, so as the organizer, we hope that you can enjoy the competition and enjoy a happy mood."
Zhang Guan thought about it and finally came to Moscow. It was indeed a loss if he did not visit the local attractions. He turned around and looked at the escort from the center and found that the other party seemed to look forward to the sights of Moscow more than he did.
"Well, 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.
