Early in the morning, Zhang Guan rushed to the airport and prepared to return to Xinzhuang base. While waiting for the flight, Zhang Guan received a call from Zhuge Wenbo.
"Zhang Guan, the endorsement deal with Coke has been finalized. It will be three years of endorsement. One advertisement per year during the endorsement period, a total of 25 million. In addition, I received several big companies yesterday to inquire about the endorsement status." Zhuge Wenbo said. .
"So fast? Before I went to Yokohama, Coca-Cola was still wrangling. They thought the price we offered was too high, and they were asking for it at a price of tens of thousands. How could we conclude the negotiation so quickly? Brother Wenbo, you are so efficient. ." Zhang Guan was in a good mood when he heard that the money had been credited to his account.
"It's not that I'm efficient, it's thanks to you that you broke the world record again. Originally, Coke was wrangling, but as soon as the news came that you broke the world record, Coke immediately agreed to our conditions and asked for a contract. . However, Coke’s news channel is faster than mine. I was more cautious at that time. Coke must have changed so readily. So I deliberately found an excuse and delayed it for a few hours, only to find out that you were there again. It broke the world record. So I raised some prices, which were just negotiated yesterday." Zhuge Wenbo explained.
Zhang Guan nodded and broke the world record twice in one month. Zhang Guan showed extraordinary potential. It can be predicted that he will break the world record again soon. This makes the championship team become the party with the initiative. That's why the Coke Company agreed to Zhuge Wenbo's improved conditions. I think Nike Company, which has signed Zhang Guan now, must be snickering.
After ending the call with Zhuge Wenbo, Zhang Guan also started to prepare to board the plane, but when he passed through the cabin door passage, Zhang Guan's phone rang again.
"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I am Huang Weida." Huang Weida continued: "Congratulations on breaking the world record again."
"Thank you. We are happy together." Zhang Guan said.
"I have selected several shops in prime locations in Hong Kong. The location, area, photos and estimated prices have been sent to you. If you have time, check your email and reply to the one you like. I will find someone to negotiate with you. Bought." Huang Weida said.
"Thank you, Mr. Huang. I'm getting ready to get on the plane now. When I get back, I'll check my email immediately and get back to you," Zhang Guan said.
"Things in the United States have been settled. The fruit company's stock has not fluctuated much in the past two days, so the final transaction price is not too low, but fortunately it is not too high either." Huang Weida continued: " The founder of the FB you mentioned also agreed to our request, and finally paid 1.5 million US dollars in exchange for 32% of FB's shares, but they were all Class A shares."
"Great!" Zhang Guan was so excited that he almost picked it up. Although the current 32% shares will shrink a lot after subsequent financing and listing, the final market value will definitely be calculated in tens of billions of dollars.
"Thank you, Mr. Huang, thank you so much!" Zhang Guan said, but Huang Weida on the opposite side was a little surprised. Zhang Guan had never had such a big reaction before when he mentioned shops or fruit stocks. You must know that it involves a person. The transaction amounted to over 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but this FB transaction was less than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, but Zhang Guan seemed so excited.
"It seems that Zhang Guan is obviously very optimistic about this FB! I don't know what attracts him to a mere website." Huang Weida thought to himself.
…
After the National Track and Field Grand Prix finals, this year's track and field competition plan is over. It will not be until around March next year that there will be a new track and field competition in the country.
The day after the National Track and Field Grand Prix was the Mid-Autumn Festival. At the airport, Zhang Guan immediately transferred back to the provincial capital, and finally arrived at his home in the evening. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhang Guan said goodbye to his parents and flew back to the training base again.
During the National Day Golden Week, a large number of tourists flocked to the Huangpu River to visit this most modern city in China. However, Zhang Guan started training for the 200-meter sprint at the Xinzhuang base.
Director Yu also rushed to the Xinzhuang base from the capital to provide one-on-one guidance to Zhang Guan. When Yu was young, his main event was the 200-meter dash. He also broke the 200-meter national record many times, so regardless of his qualifications or level, he was the perfect choice to coach the 200-meter dash. However, the deputy head coach of the national track and field team has to start from the simplest starting position.
What is the biggest difference between 100 meters and 200 meters? There is obviously an extra curve.
The 200-meter sprint starts in a curve. The athlete's starting posture and sprint after the start need to be adjusted. When starting the 100-meter sprint, it is enough to rush forward with your head down after the start, but this does not work for the 200-meter sprint. The start of the 200-meter race must be as agile as the 100-meter race, but it must also be adjusted for running in corners.
The first thing to adjust is the placement of the starting block. In the 200-meter sprint event, correctly placing the starting block can improve the time by about 0.2 seconds, which is considerable in the sprint event. The angle of the starting block must be appropriate so that athletes will not rush out of the line when starting in a curve. At the same time, the height of the starting block should not be adjusted too high, because it is impossible to accelerate in a straight line in the curve area, so A lower starting block makes it easier for athletes to control their body.
When starting the 200-meter race, try not to lower your head. Pay attention to the surrounding athletes to avoid physical collisions when one of the runners starts too fast. Body collisions rarely occur in straight runs, but in curves During high-speed running, the probability of limb collision will greatly increase, especially in the starting stage. Athletes are relatively close and accelerate quickly. Once a limb collision occurs, it will inevitably represent a loss of speed. For the 200-meter sprint, , even a loss of 0.1 seconds is unbearable.
Just starting on a curve involves many technical points and precautions, and the skills of running in the curve, the technology of turning into a straight line, the technology of breathing during exercise, etc. are all not found in the 100-meter dash. This is all new knowledge for Zhang Guan.
In addition, the most important thing when running around corners is not to step on the track markings. Stepping on the lines means a foul and means farewell to the race. At the same time, because the 200-meter sprint is also a sport where every second counts, athletes are required to reduce the running distance as much as possible in curves to gain a time advantage, so athletes run as close to the inner markings of the track as possible. Running close to the inside without stepping on the line is a technique that must be mastered in corners.
In a sprint race, athletes' eyes are primarily focused forward, and it is impossible to lower their heads to see the markings on the track. The top sprinters in the world can reach speeds exceeding 11 meters per second at the end of a curve. At this speed, it is actually difficult to control when running along the inside without stepping on the line. This requires not only skill and body control, but also a lot of training to gain experience.
…
Director Yu taught Zhang Guan all the technical points related to the 200-meter sprint. However, Director Yu was a little disappointed that Zhang Guan’s learning speed did not seem to be fast. At least he practiced for a whole day and did not see any obvious progress. .
Without the help of the system, Zhang Guan's talent in sports is really average, otherwise he would not have been just a national second-level athlete in his previous life. Don't think that athletes are all simple-minded people with well-developed limbs. Under this domestic selection system, those athletes who can enter the national team must not only have first-class physical talent, but also have extraordinary learning ability in sports technology. It is absolutely impossible for a fool with such an IQ to get into the national team.
Although Zhang Guan is not stupid, he is definitely not a genius. That is to say, he is at the level of ordinary people. He is far behind those who are strong in sports skills learning in the national team. Before, the 100-meter dash had low technical requirements. Zhang Guan can do it in such a way. Having achieved this level of success in such a short period of time, if Zhang Guan were to pursue other projects that required more skills, even if he had the help of the system, he would probably have to study for a year or two before he could succeed.
Therefore, after a day of training, Zhang Guan's performance in the corners can still be described as "poor".
"Hey..." Director Yu looked at Zhang Guan on the track and sighed: "It seems that Zhang Guan, like many 100-meter athletes, can't run 200 meters!"
Director Yu is the sprint coach of the national team and has met countless athletes in his life. For Director Yu, whether an athlete has the potential to run 200 meters can be seen in two or three hours of training. Obviously Zhang Guan is the kind of person who has no potential.
"It's better not to let Zhang Guan practice 200 meters! He doesn't seem to have the talent." Director Yu shook his head slightly, and then thought: "But if you tell him so directly, will it dampen his enthusiasm and self-confidence? After all, As a young athlete, his ability to withstand psychological pressure is definitely not as good as that of older athletes, so he has to pay attention to his methods and methods!"
While thinking about it, Director Yu took out his stopwatch and said to Zhang Guan: "You also practiced all day yesterday. Let's try running once!"
Zhang Guan nodded and immediately walked to the starting line thinking about it.
"Let's let the results speak for themselves! With his current cornering skills, he will definitely not be able to get good results in the 200 meters. Once the results are shown, he will be told that he is not suitable for running 200 meters, and then he will have to do some psychological training. Guide." Director Yu thought in his mind, and then began to issue orders.
"Get to your positions, get ready, run!" Director Yu didn't even use the starting gun, he just yelled "Run" and pressed the stopwatch in his hand.
At the same time, Zhang Guan also launched his master-level "curve sprint" skill after starting.
Instructor Yu sighed again. After Zhang Guan started running, he could still lean towards the inside of the track in the first two steps, but not in the back. His body was not tilted, his arm swing range and the landing of his feet were wrong, and Zhang Guan's position was also wrong. When he got to the middle of the race, yesterday's training was in vain. Zhang Guan completely turned into a layman running 200 meters. Director Yu suddenly felt that letting Zhang Guan practice the 200-meter dash might be a very wrong decision.
Athletes who can run corners are accelerating in corners, while athletes who cannot run corners are actually decelerating in corners. Coming down a curve, there may be a gap of more than one second. A one-second gap in sprinting is completely irreversible.
"It's better not to let Zhang Guan practice 200 meters yet. We have to have a good talk with him. His training time is too precious and cannot be wasted casually." Director Yu was lost in thought. He did not continue to observe Zhang Guan on the track. He was thinking about how to enlighten Zhang Guan.
When Zhang Guan crossed the line, Director Yu pressed the timer. For a senior coach like Director Yu, pressing the timer when an athlete crosses the line is already a conditioned reflex. He has repeated this action for more than 30 years. , no need for brain control at all. Even if Director Yu was thinking about other things, he could still accurately press the timer the moment Zhang Guan crossed the line.
"Okay, it's settled. Let's talk to Zhang Guan and give up his idea of practicing 200 meters." Director Yu, who had already thought of his words, walked towards Zhang Guan and subconsciously glanced at the number on the timer.
Then, he suddenly stopped and opened his mouth in surprise. The number on the timer made Director Yu's mind go blank...
