Somewhere in the Olympic residence.

"Mr. Xu, on behalf of all the national team athletes who are participating in the Los Angeles Olympics this time, I would like to thank Mr. Xu for his generosity. Minister Lin raised his glass and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, although I'm not an athlete, but there is a rule on it, everyone in the United States is not allowed to drink alcohol during this period, so you can only replace wine with tea!"

"Understand and understand, Minister Lin has a heavy responsibility, so naturally he can't drink at will. Xu Zhi said with a smile.

The main purpose of this visit to the United States is to watch the Olympic Games, and at the same time, to bring some help to the mainland personnel who come to participate in the Olympic Games.

Other photographers who came with the Olympic team have obtained a large amount of film sponsored by Midea, you know, at this moment, the mainland is not able to produce its own cameras and film products, and the usual consumption is based on foreign exchange purchases, even if they are sent to participate in the Olympic Games, they must strive for excellence in the content of the shooting, and they must not waste too much film, but they must also shoot enough wonderful content.

This can be a headache for all photographers, there are so many competitions, no one can predict who will win the honor, the only way is to shoot every competition, but this will be a waste of film, the resources around them are obviously not enough, and after getting the sponsorship of Midea, the number of films is enough for them to shoot whatever they want, and they can shoot whatever they want.

In return, all photographers were told that they had to point their lenses at Midea's products and billboards from time to time.

Photographers can't get a lot of film just by shooting a little more product.

In addition to the direct help of athletes and photographers, Midea also sent 10 cars and more than 30 Chinese interpreters so that all of them could easily travel privately.

These are nothing to Xu Zhi, but for many mainlanders who come to the United States for the first time, they have given great convenience.

Minister Lin asked, "Mr. Xu is also a sports enthusiast?"

"Of course, my favorite is football and basketball, but unfortunately although I have some exercise, my level is still not good, basketball can still be played, and football is not able to keep up with physical strength at all. Xu Zhi said with a smile.

Minister Lin said: "Mr. Xu, as the most successful businessman, naturally cannot have too much time to participate in this kind of sports, and it is enough to have time to exercise and exercise!"

Xu Zhi nodded, and said: "Minister Lin, although the current domestic economic development is good, as far as I know, the investment in sports is not too high! And I think that morality, intelligence and sports must develop at the same time, so I intend to donate 10 million US dollars to help the mainland cultivate excellent sports seedlings!"

"Really?" Minister Lin's eyes lit up, these days, any government department has an important task, that is, to earn foreign exchange, even their sports and meteorological departments are so remote, although they are not counted on above, but occasionally they are mentioned that they need to work hard to contribute to the country, as long as they can earn foreign exchange, it is a great credit.

For departments that do not have foreign affairs activities, the only way to earn foreign exchange is to serve the people around them, and whoever has Chinese overseas should write to them and ask them to send money back. Of course, the country will not be cheap, and the RMB after exchange will not be less than a penny.

This time to Los Angeles to participate in the Olympic Games, Minister Lin is the general person in charge, although the country has separately paid for everyone's round-trip air tickets, but so many people have to stay in the United States for more than a month, always need to prepare some dollars, not necessarily use, but always have money when it is urgently needed. In order to obtain sufficient funds for foreign exchange activities, he cheekily went to the central bank to toss several times before getting $500,000.

When I was in the mainland, I had already told me that the Olympic team would receive help from patriotic Hong Kong businessmen after they arrived in the United States, but Minister Lin could not have imagined that on the first day of the meeting, they would receive a donation of 10 million US dollars.

And more importantly, taking this opportunity, the General Administration of Sports also caught up with Xu Zhi, a wealthy man in Xiangjiang, and Director Lin knew very well that the people in front of him could directly reach the heavens, and there were a large number of huge investments in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenhai City in the mainland, with a total of 100 million US dollars in units.

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "The training of athletes must start from a young age, and a large amount of training from the seedlings is discovered, all of which require a lot of calories and nutrition, because of economic reasons, China's investment in this area is far inferior to that of Western developed countries, and to a certain extent, this is also one of the reasons why China's athletes are weak."

Therefore, I hope that this money can partially change part of this situation and give these future Olympic seedlings enough nutrition, so that perhaps in the future, the number of Olympic gold medals in our mainland can surpass that of the United States and become the world's first!"

"Haha, thank you Mr. Xu for your good words. Director Lin said with a smile, but obviously he didn't really take it seriously, this time he came to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics, which means that it would be good to win ten gold medals, and in the previous Olympic Games, the United States has always been the biggest winner of each Olympic Games, and the number of gold medals has repeatedly ranked first.

"Anything is possible, just don't give up. Xu Zhi didn't say anything more, after all, in this era of reform and opening up, everyone from university professors to ordinary civilians has seen the gap between their country and the developed countries in the West. Even some high-level officials in the interior have set the goal of reform and opening up as a way to lift the country out of poverty and let the people live on the same level as ordinary developing countries.

It's just that everyone underestimated the strength of the Chinese nation, and in just 30 years, the mainland has become one of the world's economic giants.

Xu Zhi continued: "Director Lin, the sponsorship funds will be transferred to the designated account of the Bank of China in Hong Kong after the Olympic Games, but I also have a request!"

Director Lin asked, "Mr. Xu, please speak." ”

Xu Zhidao: "Director Lin, you should know the Western advertising model, right?"

"Yes!" Director Lin nodded, as the deputy director of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, he has also had the opportunity to go abroad several times in recent years, and he also understands some basic situations overseas, and he naturally knows about the advertisements broadcast on the TV station every day: "What does Mr. Xu mean to let our athletes advertise? But there is no such policy in China at present?"

"There is no now, it does not mean that there will be no in the future, reform and opening up, we mainly learn the economy of the West, this advertising is actually a very advanced knowledge, many universities have special disciplines, this course is done well, the macroeconomic stimulation is also very large. Xu Zhi smiled and nodded.

Director Lin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, since Mr. Xu has so much confidence in our mainland, of course I can't ask for it, so as long as the mainland's policies allow it in the future, then anyone in our bureau can borrow it for free." ”

"It's free, it's not necessary, I'll give what should be given. Xu Zhi said with a smile, 10 million US dollars have been spent, he naturally does not care about a little more advertising money, and in the mainland of this era, it is enough to give a few hundred, too much, but it will cause uncontrollable turmoil.

And this 10 million US dollars, is also a good investment with the General Administration of Sports, in the 80s may not have much return, but in the 90s and even the 21st century, this will play a great role, not only the product endorsement of the United States, in the future, Taurus drinks will also enter the mainland market, as a sports-based drink, which naturally requires a large number of sports stars and various events to publicize.

It is also possible to achieve the effect by throwing money at it, but with the help of the above, you will get excellent control in terms of both low cost and efficiency.
