Chapter 36: Burst

The signing of the contract was not completed, and Manager Wang seemed a little unhappy. He said to lawyer Zhu on the side: "Zhang Guan did not sign this contract, it seems that his father gave him advice. His father should want to ask for more I think we can do more work for Father Zhang and fight for it again, there is no need to leave so quickly."

Attorney Zhu smiled and said, "This is probably very difficult. The head office cannot give too high of a price."

Manager Wang nodded and whispered: "The one on our team has not been in harmony with the president of the Asia-Pacific region. The initial purpose of signing athletes' endorsements was to get more budget."

Manager Wang did not elaborate, but Attorney Zhu had heard about the matter a little. It's normal for regional executives of multinational companies to have conflicts. It's too common for you to get stuck with me today and I'll come to get you tomorrow, especially when it comes to money. Since the annual publicity funds are budgeted, their superiors think of various ways and find various excuses to apply for public funds every year. For the matter of signing Zhang Guan, for example, at the time, the application was 100,000 US dollars, and finally, the head office in the Asia-Pacific region approved 80,000 US dollars. However, when the specific contract was signed, only 300,000 yuan was accepted, and the rest was intercepted. Of course, no matter whether it is a successful contract, as long as the public funds are approved, there is always a way to spend it.

Lawyer Zhu asked: "Have you asked more about Zhang Guan's family before you came?"

"Yes!" Manager Wang introduced immediately: "Zhang Guan's father is a senior executive of the state-owned enterprise in this city! I know this state-owned enterprise is one of the largest state-owned enterprises in the city. Tens of thousands of people, I heard that because the benefits have been good, they have not participated in several state-owned enterprise reforms."

"Isn't it! State-owned enterprises have preferential policies on land use, and this is an old-fashioned state-owned enterprise. The fixed assets accumulated in the past few decades are very much. As long as the state-owned enterprise leads the undefeated, it is more than private enterprises, it's easy to make money." Attorney Zhu replied.

Manager Wang continued: "Zhang Guan's mother is an English teacher in City No. 1 Middle School. The middle school should be high school! They are the most literate group of people of their age who can become high school English teachers."

Lawyer Zhu said, "From the perspective of Zhang Guan's parents' career, their income should be pretty good. Although they are not as good as business owners, they are certainly richer than the average working class. To half of the endorsement fee, our 300,000 yuan to Zhang Guan's hand is only 150,000. This is not yet a personal income tax, so this price is not normal to move Zhang Guan's family. It is normal for Zhang Guan's parents. They are all educated and have a certain culture. Parents of this kind of family value the future growth and development of their children more than their immediate interests."

"If the pressure is exerted through the Tian Association, there should be no problem signing Zhang Guan, or I can report to the above to raise some prices, but the matter of minors is indeed troublesome," Manager Wang said.

"Minor matters can be solved if you really need them. In fact, there are ways to find some loopholes, just a little trouble." Lawyer Zhu said.

Manager Wang shook his head: "If it's troublesome, it doesn't matter. Zhang Guan is not a necessary part of our company's marketing plan. Next year is the Olympic Games. A large number of Olympic champions will definitely emerge. According to the situation of the previous session, the general Olympics champion's endorsement fee is three or four hundred thousand yuan a year. After the end of next year's Olympics, we will directly sign a few Olympic champion endorsements, and the publicity effect will not be bad. He is only an Asian champion. It doesn't matter."

...

Director Sun also returned to the field management center and reported to the leader that Zhang Guan did not sign the contract.

Lao Sun ran for a long time and sat in the car for several hours, but the signing contract was not completed. Director Sun also had some emotions. It was inevitable that Zhang Guan gave a negative evaluation in the report.

"Leader, this Zhang Guan is too ignorant of the heights of the earth. Although he broke the Asian record, he has to obey the management of the center! Nike gave an endorsement fee of 300,000 per year. He can divide it without doing anything. For 150,000 yuan, if you are an ordinary office worker, you may not be able to save 150,000 yuan for several years!" Director Sun complained constantly.

The leader looked calm and said, "Okay, it alright if he didn't sign! He is still young, he hasn't entered the society, it's normal to think about idealization, and people are right, after all, they are less than eighteen years old. He's a minor! We have to act in accordance with the law, so let's slow down."

"The leader is right." Director Sun immediately echoed: "It should be left to him first, we will not contact him with advertisements and endorsements, let him go to the wall."

The leaders ignored the complaints of Director Sun but said to themselves: "As for the athletes engaged in commercial activities, there are also different voices within the association. Many comrades believe that athletes should not engage in commercial activities, but should be down to earth training. In order to live up to the training of the country, it is right to train athletes to serve the country seriously, but without financial support, how can athletes train with peace of mind and how can they achieve results? Expensive, so the participation of athletes in commercial activities is not as simple as it seems. Without affecting normal training, appropriate advertising and endorsements can be carried out. At the same time, it can increase some funds for the center, which can also be regarded as a sports career. We must contribute to the development of Zhang Guan."

...

After that, there will be no track and field events this year. From November to March of each year, it is generally the time for the Winter Olympics. Most track and field athletes begin to reduce training intensity in December, and athletes with injuries begin to hurry treatment and recovery of injuries.

In a blink of an eye, the new year is coming, finally at the Olympics, and the Olympics will return to her birthplace, Athens, which has special significance for the entire sports world.

This year's Spring Festival was relatively early. On January 22, many domestic coaches and athletes did not return home in preparation for the Olympics. Zhang Guan still got a two-week holiday, and Chen Lao also bought a ticket to return to his hometown for the New Year.

After the Spring Festival, on the 11th day of the first month, Zhang Guan returned to the provincial track and field team and started normal training on the 12th day of the first month.

However, the location of Zhang Guan's training is not outdoors, but indoors, because from next Tuesday, this year's National Indoor Athletics Championships will open.

The National Indoor Athletics Championships consist of four stations. The first station will be held at the West Lake from February 10 to 11. The second station will be held at the Xinzhuang Training Base in Huangpu from February 14 to 15. It was held in Jinmen, and the last stop was on February 22, at the Huangsi Training Base of the Capital 's Eight-in-One Engineering Team.

The indoor track and field event is different from the outdoor track and field event. The indoor track and field event does not have 100 meters, so Zhang Guan participates in the indoor 60-meter competition. The main purpose of the provincial team sending Zhang Guan to participate is to help him accumulate more experience in the race, and also hope that Zhang Guan can win the gold medal, which can be regarded as an honor for the provincial team.

On February 8, two days before the first stop of the National Athletics Championships, Zhang Guan was still on the training ground, spitting sweat.

"It already spring, why is it so cold, and there's no heating in the training hall," Zhang Guan complained for a while, but thinking about the buddies who practiced walking in the cold wind on the playground outside, he was in a much better mood.

The key to running 60 meters is to accelerate, and acceleration must be fast," said Chen Lao next to him while rubbing his chest, and his face turned red.

"Old Chen, what's wrong with you? Uncomfortable?" Zhang Guan asked.

Old Chen shook his head: "I'm fine, but I suddenly felt a little light-headed."

Zhang Guan hurriedly helped Chen Lao to sit down. He found that Chen Lao was in a very bad state and said: "Chen Lao, please sit down for a while. I will call the team doctor."

"No, just let me rest for a while." Chen Lao said.

"Let the team doctor take a look first, I will go now." Zhang Guan trots to the team doctor.

A few minutes later, Zhang Guan returned to the stadium with the team doctor but found that Chen Lao had fallen to the ground with his chest covered.

"Old Chen!" Zhang Guan yelled and immediately ran over, followed by the team doctor, and rushed to Chen Lao.

"Quick dial 120" The team doctor started to give Chen Lao first aid.

The arrival of an ambulance after the call to 120 brought Chen Lao to the provincial hospital.

...

On February 10, the first stop of the National Indoor Athletics Championships.

"Where is Zhang Guan? Why didn't Zhang Guan come?" Chen Jian looked carefully among the crowd of athletes but found no figure of Zhang Guan.

"Brother Chen, who are you looking for?" Yang Yao came by to greet Chen Jian.

"I'm looking for Zhang Guan. Didn't he say that he wants to participate in 60 meters? Why didn't he come?" Chen Jian said.

"You don't know yet?" Yang Yao said in surprise: "I heard that it is Chen Lao is sick, it seems very powerful, Zhang Guan is still with him in the hospital, for this one-stop race he is definitely not coming, it is estimated that the next race he may not come."

"It turns out that way." Chen Jian nodded. In addition to the teacher-student relationship, many athletes and their coaches have a family-like affection. Especially in track and field events, many athletes are similar to the coach's son, so when Chen Lao is sick, and it is normal for Zhang Guan not to participate.

...

Chen Lao is in a sudden myocardial infarction. According to the doctor, fortunately, the team doctors gave first aid, and he was delivered promptly, he was completely saved later, but Chen Lao is still in a dangerous period.

Zhang Guan chose to stay in the hospital and wait for Chen Lao to pass the dangerous period, so he gave up the first race of the National Athletics Championships.

Chen Lao in the intensive care unit is still not awake. According to the doctor's description, the situation is much better. The Provincial Sports Center also specially invited the famous experts in Beijing to come to consult with Mr. Chen, and the news is quite optimistic.

Three days later, Chen Lao woke up and after another five days, Chen Lao was able to eat on his own. According to the doctor, Chen Lao's body was fine, and he could go home and rest after another observation.

Zhang Guan, therefore, missed the first three races of the National Indoor Athletics Championships. However, Zhang Guan can not miss the next game.

On February 21, Zhang Guan came to the capital to prepare for the final race of the National Indoor Athletics Championships.
