All-round Athlete

Chapter 556 Vicious (third shift)

The Olympic Games are over, and Zhang Guan will face a very tight schedule next. He has to participate in various commendation conferences, accept various forms of interviews from the media, appear on some talk shows, and then there will be activities for the Olympic champion to travel to Hong Kong and Macau.

It may take a month or two for the heat of the Olympic Games to pass, so at least for the last two months, Zhang Guan will definitely be very busy.

And Zhang Guan's agent team also started to get busy, with various commercial endorsements pouring in like snowflakes, they were negotiating with sponsors during the day, and negotiating with sponsors on the other side of the world at night. Although the championship team has offered the highest price in the world, the commercial shooting plan has been arranged until the second half of next year.

The sponsors are very smart, they know that Zhang Guan's commercial value will be maximized in the 2008 Olympic Games, if Zhang Guan can achieve a good result in 2008, his commercial value will definitely increase, and if he is like Liu If the trapeze retires like that, his commercial value will inevitably decline step by step.

Sponsors obviously do not want to take risks, so most of the sponsorship contracts for Zhang Guan expired in 2008. This kind of behavior of the sponsor is also waiting and watching. If Zhang Guan can achieve good results in the Olympics, the sponsor will definitely work hard to renew the contract, and the sponsor can also accept Zhang Guan's price increase; and if Zhang Guan cannot achieve good results If so, the sponsors will inevitably look for another more popular spokesperson.

In the end, Zhang Guan achieved good results in the Olympic Games, but the results were too amazing. Zhang Guan's worth doubled several times in one fell swoop, and those sponsors who signed in 2008 regretted it. They can bear a slightly higher sponsorship fee, but they have several times more sponsors at once, which discourages many sponsors.

Even if the sponsorship fee is several times more, there are still many sponsors who do not hesitate to spend money. For high-end advertising endorsements, a star can only endorse a brand of a certain type of product. For example, if he endorses Mercedes-Benz, he will not endorse BMW; if he endorses Lange, he will not endorse Rolex. So for the sponsors, it doesn't matter whether they sign Zhang Guan or not, but if Zhang Guan is signed by a competitor, it will be troublesome. A good spokesperson is enough to make an unknown brand rise, and Zhang Guan's strong influence also forces many sponsors to spend money.

...

While Zhang Guan was making a lot of money, there was one person who was very unhappy.

Monaco, IAAF Headquarters.

Sebastian was sitting in the office, and on the computer monitor opposite him, there were relevant reports about the current Olympic Games. Undoubtedly, most of the voices are praises, and of course, there are some sour criticisms from some media.

At this time, Sebastian felt a little uncomfortable, because this Olympic Games was held too successfully.

First of all, there is nothing to say about the hardware. The venues are all the most advanced, the first-class stadium, and the first-class Olympic Village. Compared with the stadiums without roofs in the last Athens Olympic Games, I don’t know how many times better. The logistics support is also very complete, the basic necessities of life are well prepared, and there are even piles of volunteers, all of whom have undergone very professional training. When many foreign athletes come here, they have a feeling of reluctance to leave, wishing they could stay longer.

This made Sebastian feel tremendous pressure, because the two adjacent Olympic Games will always be compared, and Sebastian knows that it is absolutely impossible for the London Olympic Games to compare with this one. Olympic Games. He even had a premonition that the London Olympics four years later would inevitably be considered inferior to this one in all aspects.

London does not have that much financial resources to build top-level stadiums. The so-called use of recycled building materials is just a high-tech guise to cover up that you have no money. After all, second-hand materials can be sold for some money. Iron can also be worth a few cents. However, even if the Olympic venues are used up, they will not be dismantled immediately. There must be an explanation to the public. Recycling has become a good reason.

It is impossible for the London Olympics to have so many volunteers and service personnel. This has nothing to do with the total population. The population density of London is also the top in the world. The key is that the London Olympic Committee is not able to mobilize so many people. They have no interest in hosting the Olympics, and they even think that hosting the Olympics will make London less safe and disrupt their daily lives.

Moreover, there are voices opposing the hosting of the Olympics in the UK. Some people think about Brexit all day long and live their own lives behind closed doors; those who fight for independence in Scotland also feel that the Olympics have nothing to do with them. If the hearts of the people are not in harmony, even if they are hosting the Olympics, they will encounter all kinds of resistance.

So Sebastian is very worried. Four years later, when people compare the two Olympic Games, the London Olympic Games will definitely fail.

"What should I do?" Sebastian shook his head helplessly. Although he is the chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, he can't do anything without paying him.

Annoyed, Sebastian clicked on another website, but the headlines were reporting on Zhang Guan's great achievement of winning 10 gold medals.

"It's Zhang Guan again!" Sebastian frowned in disgust.

It is said that having this well-known athlete in track and field events can obviously strengthen the momentum of track and field competitions around the world and bring help to track and field sports. Sebastian, who is the chairman of the IAAF, should respect Zhang Guan very much. But the fact is just the opposite. He is an Englishman with a Cold War mentality. For a person with a Cold War mentality, everything this country in the East does is wrong and should be opposed. In his opinion, How can a red country host a successful Olympics?

Sebastian decided that China would not be able to host a successful Olympic Games. He was here to see a joke. He had the impression that China was still a poor and backward place, but the reality is that he saw a big country has risen! But he still doesn't want to admit it. Ideology is the most insurmountable thing.

Many people in Europe who are Sebastian's age have a Cold War mentality. And in the future Rio Olympics, all track and field athletes of the Russian track and field team will be disqualified, which is also inseparable from his thinking. Some people in the Russian team did use doping at that time, but it is impossible for one or two hundred people to use doping! But the IAAF directly came to kill you with a stick. Regardless of whether you use doping or not, as long as you train in Russia, you cannot participate in the competition. If you train in the United States, well, then let the net be lenient! But in fact the United States is the country that uses the most doping in the world.

"A successful Olympic Games has created a great athlete!" Sebastian silently read the subtitle of this news, but he had a vague idea in his mind.

"A successful Olympic Games? If it can create some scandals for Zhang Guan, maybe people won't think so!" Sebastian thought of this, and called Richards.

Not long after, Richards came to Sebastian's office.

"I need you to do something." Sebastian continued: "Zhang Guan is really popular recently. I don't want a certain athlete's family to dominate the track and field event. You must understand. An overly strong athlete is not a good thing for our IAAF, so I think it is necessary to suppress Zhang Guan's arrogance. I hope you can find a way to cause some troubles for Zhang Guan, such as the scandal. kind……"

"Scandal?" Richards repeated the word.

"It's a scandal, such as playing big names, disobeying the arrangements of the event organizers, looking down on opponents, or doing some other inappropriate things. We hold so many competitions every year, it should not be difficult to create some public opinion, right? Just find someone to report! We just need to make people feel that Zhang Guan is not as great as people think, he is still a person with great flaws, in short, we can't let people regard him as a god-like existence Go!" Sebastian made an excuse that didn't sound very reasonable.

"Uh..." Richards hesitated for a moment, he thought for a while, and said, "Mr. Chairman, this may be very difficult, because Zhang Guan has not participated in our IAAF competition since the World Cup in Track and Field two years ago. He was playing tennis in the competition hosted by the IAAF. He did not participate in the competition hosted by our IAAF. The only international track and field competition that Zhang Guan participated in in the past two years was the Olympic Games, but it is impossible for us to let the Chinese cooperate with us. Trouble with their country's heroes."

Sebastian suddenly felt even more depressed. He was the president of the International Athletics Federation, and he wanted to trouble a track and field athlete, but he started from there. This is indeed enough to make Sebastian feel aggrieved.

Richards obviously also felt Sebastian's aggrievedness. As a subordinate, of course he had to "rush to the leadership's urgency" in order to be promoted. He took a step forward, lowered his voice, and said: "Mr. Chairman, I have an idea to make Zhang Guan bad, and maybe this trick will make him unable to stand up forever!"

"What idea?" Sebastian asked.

"All the specimens of the B bottles of urine from the Olympic track and field competitors have been sent to our storage center in Switzerland. We can start from this aspect..." Richards fully disclosed his plan.

"The risk of doing this is too great. If it really succeeds, Zhang Guan will indeed never stand up again. Maybe even the entire Chinese sports world will be spurned by the whole world, but if others know that we are doing something wrong , we will never stand up!" Sebastian said.

Richards didn't answer. He thought Sebastian rejected his idea, but he only heard Sebastian continue: "So you have to do it yourself, I have to let the third I personally know about this matter, and I can rest assured only if you do it yourself!"

For Sebastian, it would be a great pleasure if Zhang Guan could be discredited, but if he could discredit the 2008 Olympic Games, he would definitely spare no expense. In this way, in comparison with the London Olympics four years later, people will think of the 2008 Olympics, which was full of scandals, and the London Olympics will be crowned with a reputation of incorruptibility.

And Richards suddenly smiled wryly. Although he came up with this harmful idea, he didn't seem to be the one to implement it. As Sebastian said, the risk is too great, and if you don't make it right, you will lose yourself.

But since Sebastian had spoken, Richards could only bite the bullet and agree.

A big net spread out towards Zhang Guan again...
