Chapter 143: Preparation for the Competition

Two days after the human resources department contacted the headhunters in the United States, the information of the two possible general manager candidates and the three possible logistics managers was sent to Tian Chuan's mailbox. Four of these five are Chinese students studying in the United States and have some work experience in the United States. The other one was personally found by the human resources department in China, and he once worked as a logistics supervisor in a well-known Japanese-funded company in China.

Tagawa was interested in these people, and communicated with them in detail through different methods such as meeting or calling, and finally decided to hire a Chinese student who had worked in Silicon Valley for six years to return to China to become the general manager of the Internet company. The new general manager is named Zheng Shiduo, a native of Yu Province in the Central Plains. As for the selection of the logistics director, he listened to some opinions from Zheng Shiduo and finally decided to hand it over to the domestic applicant who had worked in a Japanese-funded company. The new logistics supervisor is named Xing Hongyan, a middle-aged man of 40 years. Xing Hongyan only has a technical secondary school degree, and he has stepped into a leading position step by step from grassroots work. At the time of his departure, he was already working as the vice president of logistics at a Japanese-owned company with more than 2,000 employees, and the reason for his departure was a conflict with the Japanese management.

It took more than a month for the two newly recruited executives to arrive at their posts, which was also a matter of no choice. Xing Hongyan was a senior executive at the deputy general manager level in the original company, and there was a lot of work that needed to be handed over when he left, and he was made difficult by the general manager of the Japanese side, and the triple order extended his resignation time. Zheng Shiduo, who was in the United States, did not take that long to resign, but he needed to go through some necessary procedures to return to China, and hoped that he would be able to rest for ten days after returning to China, so that he could return to his hometown to visit his relatives who had not seen him for many years. In the more than a month before they arrived, Zhao Juan had to continue to manage her original big things, and at the same time handle the split of the literary website with the Internet company, as well as plan the management structure and development direction of the Wanlixing website.

……

When Tagawa returned to the capital, it was already September 10th, and there were only ten days before the opening of the Games. The school had no experience in organizing Tai Chi Tui Shou competitions, or even in organizing similar martial arts competitions, and it was up to Tagawa to take care of everything.

In fact, after returning to the capital, Tagawa's main focus was on the organization of the competition, and the work of the Internet company was carried out in the spare time and evening.

This competition is of great significance to the development of Tai Chi Tui Hand Movement, and Tagawa does not dare to take it lightly, from beginning to end, no matter how big or small, he personally asks about everything, and a lot of work is done by him personally.

Unlike the athletics events of the Games, the pusher competition is an indoor event and cannot be held on a large playground, which is not conducive to the conduct and evaluation of the competition. Tagawa decided to place the games in the school's gymnasium, which was built when the capital hosted the Asian Games and was used as a table tennis hall at that time. Because it has hosted large-scale competitions such as the Asian Games, the stadium has been built relatively large, and the stands can accommodate up to 3,000 spectators. These seats can accommodate almost 70% of the school's students.

Tagawa is very satisfied with the gymnasium, which allows more than four games to be played at the same time as long as the foam cushions are laid in the venue.

But there's another problem with the game here, and that's the spectators. Because of the track and field competition, the main venue of the sports meeting must be placed in the big playground, if the Tai Chi push hand and the track and field competition at the same time, there will be the problem of competing for spectators with the track and field competition, and many students who signed up for the Tai Chi push hand competition also signed up for the track and field competition, so there may be a problem of competition time conflict.

Tagawa communicated with the school several times on this issue, and finally decided to move the time of the Tai Chi Tui Shou competition to the afternoon to evening of September 9. The opening and closing ceremonies of the Games were held on the 10th on the large playground.

Another problem with the competition is grouping. Since there was no ready-made experience to draw on, Tagawa consulted with the school's physical education teacher and the seniors of the Tai Chi Committee, and determined the criteria for dividing the three groups of men and women. Men's under 55kg, over 70kg, and intermediate 70kg, while women's under 50kg, over 60kg, and 60kg. According to the points method of the sports meeting, the top 8 in each event will be awarded points ranging from 1 point to 12 points. In fact, the number of female students who signed up is not very large, only less than 20 people, so after grouping, almost all the female players who participate in the competition can get points.

For such a situation, the school was a little dissatisfied, some physical education teachers proposed to cut the ranking points of the Tai Chi Tui Shou competition to balance the other competitions, of course Tagawa could not agree, and in the end the result of the compromise between the two sides was that for all events, if the number of applicants was less than 15, the top 6 would be rewarded, the top 4 would be rewarded if there were less than 10 people, the top three would be rewarded for less than 7 people, and the competition items would be cancelled if less than 5 people were cancelled.

As of the Thursday evening of the day before the competition, there were only four applicants for the Tai Chi Tui Shou Competition in the women's under-50kg class, which had not yet reached the minimum number of people and was about to be cancelled. Tagawa was very anxious, but there was no good way, so in the end he could only ask these applicants under 50 kg to participate in the 60 kg competition.

Race gear and apparel are also a big issue. Since it is a combat sport, it is necessary to make requirements for clothing and protective gear. However, many contestants who signed up for the competition did not have the required competition clothing at all, let alone protective gear, which led to the difficulty of registration. Tian Chuan's initial idea was to prepare some common clothes and protective gear, but many students were dissatisfied with the common clothing and thought that it was not clean, and there was no way to do it as for protective gear, because protective equipment included crotch guards and dental trays, which could not be used publicly. In the end, Tagawa decided to sponsor the competition in the name of Liaoliao Company, and provided each student who signed up for the competition with a free set of competition clothing including imitation silk practice clothes, competition soft shoes and belts, as well as a set of protective gear including dental trays, crotch guards and special competition gloves. The color of the competition costume is azure, the women's are lilac, the belt is according to the level, and the non-level players are black and white.

During the competition, the two sides are distinguished by attaching a black or red Velcro to the front and back of the player's shirt.

The venue is covered with a layer of foam mats, similar to those used in taekwondo, but the field is different from the square of taekwondo, which is circular and 3.5 meters in diameter. There is a central marker in the middle of the circle and a horizontal line that is used as the starting point for the start of the game.

During the game, there are two referees in charge of each game, one on the field and one outside the field, who jointly execute the referee.

The detailed rules of the competition have been sent to the hands of each contestant and the referee in advance, and posted on the bulletin board of the school.

Before registering, Tagawa deliberately emphasized in the registration form sent to each class that students who have not practiced Tai Chi Tuishou can also sign up for the competition, and as long as they do not violate the rules of the competition, they can also win by defeating their opponents.

The day before the competition, reporters and videographers from the sports channel of Jingcheng TV came to the school, observed the structure of the gymnasium, and determined the camera position for the interview. Tagawa has already said hello to the TV station, and this time he will not only cover the tai chi competition, but also the track and field competition. In order to increase the enthusiasm of reporters, Tagawa did not hesitate to promise them that he would achieve the top three results in the three track and field competitions he participated in. The TV station was actually most interested in Tagawa, who was a little disappointed that Tagawa did not participate in the Tai Chi Pusher Competition. "My strength is too high among my classmates at school, and if I had competed, I would have almost booked the championship in this division, and it would have been too much of a blow to everyone's enthusiasm," Tagawa said. And I'm the chief referee of the game, so it's not suitable to participate in the game and be the referee myself. The reporter learned about Tian Chuan's scruples, and could only reluctantly accept this fact. But Tagawa's Tagawa competition in three events still aroused their interest, and this guy really has such a strong confidence to achieve good results in the sports meeting, which is enough to prove that he usually works hard.

In the evening of the same day, Tian Chuan, on behalf of the school, hosted a banquet for Li Tianlai, the host of the sports channel of Beijing TV, and Leng Feng, a reporter who came with him, as well as a cameraman, and other people, and the school was accompanied by Wang Nianzu, vice principal in charge of physical education, Liu Wenqi, director of the physical education department, Jing Zhan, deputy director, Li Litong, instructor of the Taijiquan Association, and Liu Junqiang, chairman of the school's student union.

Speaking of the relationship with the student union, Tagawa's Taijiquan Association has also experienced some twists and turns. Tagawa followed the advice of Men Guangcai and put the Taijiquan Association under the name of the school's physical education department, avoiding the constraints of the Ai Student Union. However, the Taijiquan Association, a popular society, the student union will not give up easily, they took the initiative to get in touch with the Taijiquan Association, and initially asked the Taijiquan Association to directly become a subordinate body of the student union, under the direct leadership of the student union, and at the same time hand over the financial power and the right to evaluate the rank, and the price paid was to let Tian Chuan be the vice president of the student union, and at the same time admit two managers of the association to join the student union. Tagawa did not respond to the student council's proposal at all, but did not have it. After several temptations, Liu Junqiang, the president of the student union, personally approached Tian Chuan and discussed the merger of the association into the student union. Tian Chuan considered that the student union was a semi-official organization of the school, so he did not directly refuse, but put forward his own conditions, that is, the association was nominally under the leadership of the student union, but the daily management of the student union could not interfere, and the student union should provide 20,000 yuan for the association's activities every year.

This request seems unreasonable, but Tian Chuan understands that what the student union wants is actually only the nominal management of the association, so that the results made by the Taijiquan Association will have a share of the student union, which is enough, Liu Junqiang knew Tian Chuan's ability, and did not dare to use strong, and finally reluctantly accepted his conditions. Since then, every time he organizes a large-scale event, Tagawa will call out the leaders of the student council and respect them as leaders, giving the student council a lot of face.
