Chapter 188: Preparing for the New Year
After the race, Tagawa went back to the car he had been waiting for for a long time, changed his clothes, drank some glucose water to replenish his strength, and rested in the car, waiting for Michelle and Cindy to finish the race. There is no one to support them, and it will be harder for them to finish the race.
Not long after, Tagawa had his first urine test in his athletic career. This is an IAAF flight check. He has been one of the key targets due to his recent track and field achievements, as well as his ability to leapfrog the limits of track and field competitions and show his prominence in several events.
It is said that in the mid-90s, when doping scandals were frequent, sports agencies at all levels spared no effort to check for illegal drugs. And at this time, it was not long after China's Ma Jiajun sprung up, and not long after he shocked the world in the women's middle-distance running event, and there was a male athlete named Tagawa in people's field of vision, and it was impossible not to attract attention.
In this marathon, Tagawa only finished second, but he still became the focus of attention. This is the first time that the Chinese have achieved such good results in a marathon with many international masters, although they did not break the national record, but the marathon results are greatly affected by road conditions, wind and temperature, and Tagawa's results can already be shown off in the world. At this time, many reporters had already gathered around the minibus where Tagawa was resting, hoping that he would be interviewed.
Seeing that it was not easy to shirk, Tian Chuan opened the car door after resting for a while and answered a few questions from the reporters. Tagawa is also accustomed to these questions, whether it is his feelings about the competition, his expectations for next year's Olympic Games, or the training secrets of the old tuning and long playing, and the effect of tai chi on the body, etc., and he answers them casually according to the same ideas he used to answer in previous interviews.
Less than ten minutes later, Tian Chuan ended this round of simple questions and answers on the grounds that he needed to rest, and returned to the car to continue to close his eyes and rest. In today's game, he exerted too much physical energy, and he did feel a rare fatigue. Coach Ma said that his adaptability to the marathon is not enough, and he is particularly lacking in tactics, and can only use more physical strength than others to fight hard, and it is an unexpected joy to achieve the current results.
Coach Ma immediately suggested that Tagawa should hire a professional long-distance running coach, and it was best to find teammates who could cooperate so that they could arrange cooperative tactics. Coach Ma said: "If it weren't for the big man's cooperation, just a one-on-one competition with Tagawa, that little black player would not have been able to beat you." ”
Tagawa was convinced by Coach Ma's statement and asked him to help him find a tactical coach for long-distance running. However, he also stressed that his training time is limited, and it is still impossible to spend too much energy on systematic training, and can only strengthen from a certain aspect such as tactics, and can only spare one or two days a week to spend on this, which is also a matter of no choice. After all, his focus is mainly on the development and management of the company, followed by his studies and tai chi, as well as the construction of his hometown, and finally the track and field competition.
After waiting for more than two hours, Michelle and Cindy finally arrived together and finished the game. Tagawa took them to the car and changed their clothes. After waiting for a while, another member of the Taijiquan Association who participated in the competition also returned, and then he got the news that the last member who participated in the competition gave up the competition due to physical exhaustion after more than half of the competition, and was contained by the organizing committee's containment vehicle. Tagawa finally gathered all the members of his participating team, and everyone returned to Agricultural University together.
At the end of the race, as the runner-up, Tagawa received a high prize of $20,000. However, this bonus, which is quite high for ordinary people, does not mean much to Tagawa himself, he did not pocket the money, but donated it to the Hope Project, which is used to give some subsidies to teachers in poor areas.
The Spring Festival is approaching, and the year-end summary work of Tagawa's companies is carried out smoothly under the arrangement of the asset management company, and he does not put too much effort into it. It's just that the rating of the house purchase benefits made him hurt his brain, and their team led by Geng Zhongmin, the director of human resources, solved it more satisfactorily. After communicating with Luan Jianjun, it was determined that at the end of February after the Spring Festival, the design of the first phase of the new community Guangming Garden will be completed and construction will begin. At that time, the selection of houses will be open to employees of Tagawa's affiliated companies.
This year, as last year, the companies did not pay dividends. It's just that Zhu Dacheng's bait company has paid dividends again, and this year's profit is much higher than last year's, and Tian Chuan has received more than 3 million yuan, which is much higher than he expected. Tian Chuan had mentioned the idea of selling shares in this company in the summer, and when Zhu Dacheng asked about it again, Tian Chuan still did not give him a clear answer. When he mentioned this at the time, on the one hand, he was a little short of money, and on the other hand, he did not have the energy to take care of the operation of this company. At this time, he had enough funds on hand, and there was an asset management company to manage this part of the equity on his behalf, so he did not think about this matter again. However, how to dispose of this part of the shares is not too important, hearing Zhu Dacheng ask, he agreed to let the subordinate management company evaluate this part of the equity, and on his behalf to Zhu Dacheng to discuss the sale of equity.
When there were more than ten days before the Spring Festival, Tian Chuan through a high-end seafood dealer he met in the capital, specially * a batch of high-end seafood, including king crab, brown crab, Japanese red crab, abalone, sea cucumber, arctic shrimp, fish maw, salmon, etc., which were basically relatively rare things at that time. Paying a high price to buy these rare seafood, on the one hand, is to taste it for parents and family, and on the other hand, it is also for gifts before the Spring Festival. Although he didn't have any officials to ask for in particular, he still had to send something to some relevant personnel to show it. In addition, he is also going to give some fresh New Year's gifts to his relatives, friends, teachers and teachers.
There are leaders and mentors of the school who need to maintain the relationship and give gifts, seniors in the Tai Chi world, friends in the antique industry, people and leaders in the sports industry, leaders of the company's competent authorities, and people with direct business relations. There are also local leaders of several bases, who also want to express themselves. The gift to these people is the seafood gift box, and the content of the gift box varies according to the degree of importance, but most of them are only one or two worth no more than 1,000 yuan. There were only a few particularly important people who gave gifts containing four or six types of seafood.
The gift box for friends is basically the same, but the contents are more affordable than those who need face, usually one or two rare things, and then with some low-value but delicious seafood, such as arctic shrimp, marine fish, etc.
As a foodie, his home in the capital has added a large-capacity freezer to the original refrigerator and freezer to store all kinds of food. This time, he stored some seafood in the freezer for his own convenience in the future.
Filling the back seat and trunk of his SUV with seafood ready to take home, he drove home.
On the evening of the day he arrived home, Tian Chuan sent seafood gift boxes to cadres and friends in the village, town and county.
The gift box for his relatives was decided after discussing with his parents, one king crab per family, or a few brown crabs, or a few red crabs, and a small box of arctic shrimp. He did not send these gifts too early, and did not deliver them until two or three days before the Spring Festival. Because if it is delivered too early, some relatives do not have refrigerators, so it will be more difficult to store, and it is not easy to save it for Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve meal.
This year, Tian Chuan's income is relatively large, and although he has spent a lot of money to build a welfare community for the workers, he still has a lot of money left. Since the agricultural cooperative was established in the village, the whole village became his owner, so he simply bought a batch of shrimp and sea fish with money, and distributed one to each family in the village.
In addition, he also found the village cadres, asked the village to give some money, and then raised a sum of money for the whole village to send a condolence gift to the elderly over 70 years old and the lonely old people in the village. Of course, the vast majority of the money raised was paid by Tagawa.
As for the matter of giving gifts to the people in the village, Tian Chuan's family explained that a new agricultural cooperative was established this year, and the whole village was integrated into a whole, in order to get a good fortune. However, this year's atmosphere in the village is indeed different from previous years, and the establishment of agricultural cooperatives has freed everyone from hard work in the fields and increased their income. The flow of picking tourism has created a new source of income for many families in the village. Several renovation projects in the village, such as sewers, toilet renovation, road repair, cultural and sports centers, school buses, etc., have raised the spiritual outlook of the whole village. The employees of the base in Tagawa have received a significantly higher income than ordinary work, which has made many people feel red, and the number of employees in the village has reached nearly 60.
Tian Chuan is not going to go to other places for the Spring Festival this year, he just wants to spend a traditional New Year at home and rest for a while. My sister's family has taken his advice and traveled to Australia. They didn't just go as a family of three, but also brought their parents-in-law, a family of five, and they had been gone for more than a week, and it can be seen from the email sent by my sister that the Sydney area they went to was summer, the scenery was charming, and the family had a very happy time. This made Tian Chuan also think about whether to take his parents abroad to play. But my parents insisted on celebrating the New Year in China, saying that only in my hometown can I celebrate the New Year.
This year, since Tagawa celebrates the New Year at home, of course, traditional projects such as writing Spring Festival couplets, pasting New Year's pictures, and setting off fireworks and firecrackers are indispensable, and as the atmosphere of the New Year gradually thickens, Tagawa's mood is becoming more and more excited. Looking back on his previous life, he hadn't been in such a New Year's mood for a long time.
