The track and field team's journey in this Olympics is basically over, with only the marathon event left to start.
On the bus, Liu Feiren's eyes were red, obviously he had just cried. After more than ten years of continuous training, sweating under the intense sunshine in summer, and enduring the cold wind in the freezing mornings of winter, he bravely endured it all. He wanted to give up countless times, but he persisted in the end. At this time, he felt that it was all worth it. A gold medal was the best reward for his years of hard work.
"How do you feel?" Zhang Guan suddenly sat next to Liu Feiren and asked.
Liu Feiren was stunned. He suddenly found that he was a little confused. He had achieved what he had been working hard to pursue, and he suddenly felt at a loss.
"I..." Liu Feiren didn't know what to say.
"This has just tied the world record. It's still early! Don't you think it should be broken?" Zhang Guan said.
"Break the world record?" Liu Feiren was startled, and then he remembered that Zhang Guan had broken the world record in the men's 100-meter event not long ago!
"He has already broken the world record, but I am still confused because of winning the Olympic championship! It seems that I have lost my goal. He is right, it is still early! I also want to break the world record!" Liu Feiren thought of this and was happy. He smiled firmly again:
"Zhang Guan, you are right, I still want to break the world record!"
…
As Liu Feiren won the championship, the focus of the media was all on Liu Feiren. Various interviews and exclusive interviews followed one after another. Zhang Guan, who was originally surrounded by the media, was finally able to take a moment of leisure and enjoy the historical sites and beautiful scenery of Athens.
Zhang Guan was rich now, so he found a travel agency and hired a private tour guide. Tour guides were actually in short supply in Athens during the Olympics, and the price was also very expensive. However, the travel agency saw that the "world's number one flyer" wanted to To hire a tour guide, I specifically contacted a senior gold medal tour guide to take Zhang Guan to visit the main attractions in Athens.
Attractions such as the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, Nemfs Observatory, and the Academy of Sciences are all crowded with tourists from all over the world. As the Olympic Games come to an end, more tourists are coming to these famous classics to experience the culture that ancient Athens brought to the world.
For Zhang Guan, who is used to sightseeing in a flashy way, he can only visit Athens in one day. Taking photos of himself in front of famous attractions, even if he has been here, is the way most domestic sightseeing tours are done. .
In the evening, Zhang Guan returned to the Olympic Village and saw the embassy's car in the parking lot. Counselor Zhu just walked out of it and was about to get in the car. But when he saw Zhang Guan, he immediately turned to meet him.
"Zhang Guan! Thank you so much for the Prince of Dubai matter." Counselor Zhu had a smile on his face, probably because things were going very smoothly.
"Nothing, this is what I should do." Zhang Guan replied.
"I am here for the Olympic dinner tomorrow night. Our embassy will hold a dinner tomorrow night to entertain our country's Olympic athletes. In addition, we have also invited overseas Chinese living in Greece, Chinese business groups, and Chinese-funded institutions in Greece. Representatives and well-known entrepreneurs who came to Greece from home. During this Olympic Games, the overseas Chinese and Chinese business groups in Athens gave us a lot of help. We also want to take this opportunity to let our country’s Olympic champions meet with the overseas Chinese in Greece. Let’s meet. You must go tomorrow night, many overseas Chinese want to see you by name!” Counselor Zhu said.
Zhang Guan nodded and agreed. The biggest role of gold medals in the Olympic Games is to enhance the country's image and boost national confidence. Letting the Olympic champion meet these Chinese is also a way to increase the national identity of overseas Chinese. He will naturally participate in this kind of thing unconditionally.
"By the way, Counselor Zhu, it won't be a pool party this time, right?" Zhang Guan asked.
"No, no, it's a formal dinner." Counselor Zhu also smiled awkwardly. Apparently he later found out that the Prince of Dubai was holding a swimming pool party. He even customized a formal suit for Zhang Guan and asked Zhang Guan to wear it. Attending the pool party, Counselor Zhu also felt very sorry for Zhang Guan.
…
Embassy in Greece.
On the wall of the hall, the slogan with red background and gold letters "Olympic athletes win glory for the country" is particularly conspicuous. Above the Western-style floor-to-ceiling windows are hanging unique Chinese-style ribbon-cut flowers. Under the spotlights is a row of red and yellow palace lantern-style lanterns. Although it is full of joy, But Zhang Guan felt that this combination of Chinese and Western styles seemed a bit nondescript.
A little Chinese girl jumped up to Zhang Guan and asked for a photo. Zhang Guan picked up the little girl, took a group photo and watched her leave happily.
The light yellow liquid in the champagne glass looked very attractive, but Zhang Guan only tasted it briefly. Regardless of whether the taste of champagne was in line with Zhang Guan's taste, it was what happened after drinking at the Prince of Dubai's party a few days ago. It was enough to keep Zhang Guan away from alcohol.
Although it was a buffet, the embassy’s Chinese chef prepared Chinese food that was very suitable for everyone’s eating habits. Zhang Guan also had a long-lost stir-fry, including oil, salt, sourness, spicyness, etc. The flavors of various traditional Chinese cooking ingredients were mixed in. In his mouth, even the simplest spicy and sour potato shreds, the familiar taste almost made Zhang Guan cry with excitement.
It is a great blessing to be able to taste the taste of hometown when you are in a foreign land!
He swept through the food on the plate as quickly as possible, burped, then picked up the champagne and walked to the bed, admiring the scenery outside the window. At this time, a voice sounded from behind.
"The scenery is not bad!" The other party walked to Zhang Guan and said, "We meet again."
"You are... Mr. He!" Zhang Guan immediately recognized the fat middle-aged man in front of him. It was He Yiming, the general manager of "Yiming Consulting Company" who was robbed on the road before.
"The embassy is holding a dinner, and I'm here to join in the fun!" He Yiming said with a smile, but Zhang Guan knew that apart from Chinese and overseas Chinese, it was not easy for the Chinese to be invited here, except for representatives from Chinese-funded institutions. There are also some well-known entrepreneurs who happen to be in Greece. He Yiming is obviously not a representative of a Chinese-funded institution, but belongs to the ranks of well-known entrepreneurs.
"Although I have never heard of it before, this Yiming Consulting Company is really not simple!" Zhang Guan thought to himself.
Just listen to He Yiming continue to say: "I read the newspaper before, and it said that you won 10 million euros. If you want to transfer the funds back to your country, you can come to me, I can help you save a lot of trouble."
Then he went on to introduce: "The business scope of my consulting company is quite complicated, including finance, investment, industry, entertainment, etc. It does a little bit of everything! Sometimes, I just go to whatever industry makes money. .”
"Thank you, Mr. He, but the previous OPAP company introduced me to an accountant, and the specific financial business is already being handled." Zhang Guan said.
However, Zhang Guan suddenly remembered another thing, so he asked tentatively: "Mr. He, I want to set up a special agent team for myself, but I don't know how to do it. Mr. He, you are well-informed, how about you How about giving me some pointers?"
"Why are you so polite!" He Yiming looked very happy. He thought for a few seconds and then said: "Our company has never done this before in terms of celebrity management teams. With your current situation, if you want to form a management team , you must have a professional agent, and then you need professionals in law, advertising and marketing, media public relations and financial accounting. In fact, there are so many domestic talents, these professional talents are easy to find, the key is to integrate these people together . How about this, how about I take the lead in doing this myself?"
"Wouldn't this be too much trouble..." Although Zhang Guanhua said this, there was a faint expectation in his heart.
"No trouble! Brother Zhang, please give me your contact information, and I will call back in a moment to help you find someone. The Athens Olympics is about to end, and I will find everyone for you as soon as possible." He Yiming shot He promised while holding his chest.
Zhang Guan left his contact information, and then the two chatted for a few more words before parting ways.
Ten seconds later, Director Yu approached Zhang Guan.
"It seems you are familiar with him?" Director Yu asked.
"We met on the streets of Athens before." Zhang Guanjiang told He Yiming and his wife that they were robbed, and he helped him, and then asked: "Director Yu, do you know him too?"
"It's just a one-time relationship." Director Yu paused, and then said in a low voice: "These third generation people in the capital really don't have much interaction with our sports circle on weekdays."
"It turns out that Mr. He is a third generation! No wonder..."
"Actually, it's not a big third generation. It's a very ordinary kind. The ancestors have made contributions, but they have never been a high official. They have been in office since the peace. There are quite a few such third generations in the capital." Yu The guide continued: "However, this He Yiming has a very good reputation. I heard that he is reasonable and honest in his actions, so he has good connections."
…
On the evening of August 29th, Athens time, with the end of the last event, the men’s marathon, the Athens Olympics also ended all events.
The top spot in the gold medal list is still the US team, which won 34 gold medals. The national team was only one gold medal away, ranking second with 33 gold medals. This result is better than the previous Sydney Olympics. Great progress. The Russian team ranked third with 27 gold medals.
At the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games, the "China 8 Minutes" performance attracted the attention of the audience at the beginning. Traditional Chinese musical instruments, traditional acrobatics, martial arts performances, traditional Peking opera, etc. instantly aroused the audience's interest in ancient oriental culture. yearn for.
Zhang Guan looked at the national flag in his hand and his heart surged.
“I can’t wait for the next Olympics!”
