Tennis Center.
"Come, Zhang Guan, have some tea!" Director Liu handed the teacup to Zhang Guan's table with a smile.
"Thank you, Director Liu, I can just do it myself." Zhang Guan took the tea cup, smelled it, but did not drink it. He put down the teacup and continued: "Director Liu, we just talked about the Olympics. Next year's Olympics is very important to our country. I must focus on preparing for the Olympics. I have to participate in several track and field competitions. I need to do some recovery training for each event, so I am not going to participate in the four Grand Slams next year, otherwise my energy will really not be able to keep up."
A Grand Slam match takes almost a month from pre-match preparation to the end of the match, which Zhang Guan cannot afford. What's more, Zhang Guan is going to participate in special basketball training, and he will not have time to participate in tennis matches.
"Not participating?" Director Liu was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately said: "I think you should think about this issue carefully."
Zhang Guan not participating in the Grand Slam will be a big loss for the tennis center, which is something Director Liu does not want to see.
"There's nothing I can do about it. I only have so much time, and it's really beyond my ability. But I will definitely participate in the Olympic tennis competition. My goal is to win the gold medal in men's singles tennis at the Olympics." Zhang Guan said. .
Zhang Guan's words gave Director Liu reassurance. Director Liu naturally knows how important next year's Olympic Games are, especially the 2008 Olympic champion, which is the top priority. For the tennis center, a Grand Slam champion can only be regarded as a good management job. However, the special significance of the 2008 Olympic tennis champion is not comparable to that of a Grand Slam champion. It can completely rise to the level of politics.
Thinking of the Olympic tennis champion, Director Liu's heart warmed up. If he could really win the tennis championship in the next Olympics, Director Liu's promotion would definitely be inevitable. So Director Liu said: "In that case, our tennis center respects your choice. After all, the Olympic Games are very important. But I also hope that you will not relax your daily tennis training. If you have any needs, feel free to ask them." , we will definitely try our best to help you solve it."
"Thank you very much, Director Liu." Zhang Guan said.
At this moment, a staff member knocked on the door and came in, whispering a few words in Director Liu's ear.
Director Liu nodded, and then said to Zhang Guan: "I have to go to the General Administration for a meeting in the afternoon, and this meeting is also related to you."
"Is it related to me? In what way?" Zhang Guan asked immediately.
"Special sports development fund." Director Liu did not conceal Zhang Guan, but went on to explain: "Fifteen percent of the athletes' advertising endorsement fees are used as a special sports development fund. This year's athletes in our country are yours." Advertising fees are the most profitable. Your 15% is a huge amount of money. Our Tennis Center wants it, and so does the Tian Guan Center, so this afternoon’s meeting is to discuss this matter. To put it bluntly Yes, just to fight for money!"
"Oh? Who has a better chance of winning now?" Zhang Guan asked.
"The Tennis Association is far inferior to the Track and Field Association, so our Tennis Center is naturally inferior to the Field Management Center. Otherwise we would not have brought this matter to the General Administration of Sports." Director Liu said with a smile: "This In these years, crying children are fed by milk, but at the level of the sports administration, we also pay attention to a balance, and will definitely support relatively weak projects, which is more beneficial to our tennis center."
…
That afternoon, the General Administration of Sports. Director Liu and Director Qu were already arguing with their faces red. However, for the tens of millions of special sports development funds, even if the two start a fight, some people will understand.
"Zhang Guan has been engaged in tennis throughout this year, so the special development fund should of course be managed by our tennis center!" Director Liu said.
"But Zhang Guan is also a registered athlete of our athletics association, and he has many advertising endorsements, all of which were signed last year. At that time, Zhang Guan had not played tennis yet! This special development fund can be said to have nothing to do with the tennis center. No matter what!" Director Qu said forcefully.
"If Zhang Guan had not achieved great results in tennis and won a Grand Slam championship, would those advertising endorsements continue to invest in Zhang Guan? Furthermore, what sponsors need is the publicity effect of athletes, so they will Sponsor athletes, and throughout this year, Zhang Guan’s publicity effect has been reflected in the tennis court. Track and field has not played any helpful role in sponsoring! And I remember that at the beginning of the year, the Tianjin Management Center also gave Zhang Guan Zhang Guan was banned from competition and blocked in the media, which had a negative effect on Zhang Guan's commercial value. Instead of helping athletes develop commercial value, your field management center actually held back the athletes. I personally feel that they are not qualified at all. We need a special development fund." Director Liu immediately argued.
"Zhang Guan was suspended because he violated discipline!" Director Qu said immediately.
Director Liu immediately snorted: "Zhang Guan won the championship at the Australian Tennis Open and made a historic breakthrough for our country's tennis career. This is a matter of bringing glory to the country. This is the first time I have said that bringing glory to the country is Something that violates discipline!”
"Ahem..." The leader of the General Administration sitting in the middle coughed dryly and said, "We will not discuss the previous punishment of Zhang Guan today. The theme of our meeting today is where the special development fund should be given. "
The words of the leader of the General Administration helped Director Qu solve the problem, but because of the mention of Zhang Guan's suspension, Director Qu's momentum inevitably weakened a bit.
But when it came to money, and it was such a huge amount, neither party was willing to compromise. Now was not the time to show mercy. Director Liu and Director Qu, the two directors of the Sports Management Center, quickly fell into In the midst of a heated debate.
"Yeah..." The leader of the General Administration coughed dryly again, stopped the two people from talking, and then said: "I understand what you mean, and what they said to each other also makes sense. It's okay to continue arguing. There is no result. I don’t think it’s better than this. Since this is Zhang Guan’s advertising endorsement income, how about we listen to the opinions of the party involved?”
The leader of the General Administration said, looking at He Yiming who had been sitting there silently.
He Yiming watched the show all afternoon and knew it was time for him to appear, so he cleared his throat and said: "Dear leaders, let me express the views of our champion for your reference. This The special development funds submitted by athletes have always been handed over to their respective special events. There has never been a cross-sport situation like Zhang Guan. So, Zhang Guan can be said to be a special case. I I think, since it is a special case, it can be handled specially. There is no need to refer to the express regulations."
"Special cases?" Everyone's eyes were focused on He Yiming. There was something in He Yiming's last sentence. No one could figure out what kind of medicine He Yiming was selling in his gourd.
