―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Night has fallen, and the moon in the sky will shine silver on the sea, so that the endless sea will not be all desperately dark,

The sea breeze blows, accompanied by the sound of the rushing waves.

In a vast body of water, a superyacht shrouded in lights was quietly parked on the sea, and the sound of women frolicking could be heard from time to time on board.

Since the waves are not big,

There was no other sound source around, and the sound of frolicking came far away, and was finally drowned out by the sound of the waves. It's a long way from Hong Kong.

It should be more than four hundred kilometers.

In terms of the distribution of climate zones, it is already in the tropical range, and the most significant feature is that the temperature has increased from 14 degrees to 30 degrees in Hong Kong.

Because of this,

Originally, because they were afraid of the cold, Guan Xiumei and the four women, who had been hiding in the cabin, all came to the deck, while the four Wei Xiong were still on the fifth floor.

The view here is wide,

And on the foredeck, there is a circle of sofas along the side of the boat, which is convenient for chatting and talking. Then there's the front deck, which overlooks the entire fourth floor.

Take in the four daughters of Guan Xiumei.

Huo Zhenting faced the bow of the boat, and the gentle sea breeze blew through his sideburns, making him sigh: "It's been a long time since I've been so leisurely."

Recently, I have been busy with Nansha's projects and Olympic bids.

The whole person is spinning,

It just so happened that Lao Shi called me and asked me to find a reason to take a vacation for myself. Speaking of which, it's really thanks to Ah Xiong, your Whampoa Shipyard.

The construction of a new plant in Nansha by Huangpu Shipyard is a positive signal.

It has attracted a lot of supporting enterprises to move in.

Then it attracted a large number of foreign personnel to Nansha (Nansha District, Guangzhou City), including many high-level technical personnel related to the shipbuilding industry.

These are all important factors in determining the price of the house. ”

The Huo family began to invest in Nansha a long time ago, but at that time, China's reform and opening up had only begun for a few years, and various policies had not yet stabilized.

It is inevitable that people will be afraid to do things.

Therefore, despite the large amount of money invested, several major projects did not improve until the Huangpu Shipyard invested in the construction of a new plant in Nansha.

At this time, reform and opening up had been set as a basic national policy.

The economy is in a period of rapid development.

Wei Xiong smiled slightly: "Nansha is a good place, located at the mouth of the Pearl River Delta, such a geographical location can be described as unique.

Prosperity is a matter of time.

Let's not talk about this, how is the Olympic bid?"

Huo Zhenting smiled: "The situation is not bad, but until the final result comes out, no one knows if they are right."

When the yacht docks, I will rush to Marseille and work hard. ”

Huo Yingdong has his own expectations for Dafang's three sons, like the second Huo Zhenhuan and the third Huo Zhenyu, who mainly go to the shopping mall and inherit his business empire.

The boss Huo Zhenting inherited his political and sports careers.

The Huo family has always been low-key in Hong Kong,

But when she married Miss Hong Kong champion Zhu Lingling, she spent more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars to hold a banquet for 360 seats at the Miramar Hotel, with as many as 4,000 guests.

It caused a sensation throughout Hong Kong.

Later, Huo Yingdong admitted to the public that the reason why the Huo family went against the low-key tradition of the past was to give Huo Zhenting popularity.

So that he can conduct non-governmental sports diplomacy for China internationally.

This shows the importance attached to Huo Zhenting.

At present, Fok Zhenting is the chairman of the Hong Kong Sports Federation and Olympic Committee, and is also a candidate for vice president of the Olympic Council of Asia.

To have such a status, the Huo family has invested huge resources.

To get back to the point, on 23 September this year, the 101st International Olympic Games took place in Monte Carlo, Principality of Monaco.

The plenary will vote on the right to host the 2000 Olympic Games.

However, the sky is unpredictable.

On August 31, in an interview with Australia's special television station, Beijing's vice mayor Zhang Baifa criticized the U.S. Congress for flagrantly violating Olympic principles.

Interfering with the Chinese people's right to bid for the Olympic Games expressed indignation.

He said that an American friend once said to him, "The United States has dealt with you like that, and you have every reason to boycott the Atlanta Olympics."

Zhang Baifa said to a reporter from the special television station.

We have every reason to retaliate against the United States, but we will not do that, because we have always supported the Olympic Movement.

Unexpectedly, the TV station took it out of context,

The speech was produced in a piecemeal manner and broadcast on the eve of the Monte Carlo vote, and the contents were disclosed to the major Western news agencies in advance.

This incident was immediately "coaxed" into the biggest news.

Under the operation of other people, several major Western news agencies broadcast the news that 'China wants to boycott the Atlanta Olympics' once an hour.

Some footage from interviews on Australian television was also aired.

This is to prove that they are right.

It is said that China has always put political interests above the Olympic ideals.

There has been a history of boycotts of the 1956 Melbourne Olympics and the 1980 Moscow Olympics;

This time, it is trying to blackmail the IOC with a boycott to obtain the right to host it;

It is very unreliable to say that the Olympics will be handed over to Beijing to host, and if there is any change at that time, it is very unreliable. Such sinister intentions make people outrageous.

On the afternoon of September 17,

The IOC Executive Board meets and

Before the meeting began, IOC President Samaranch asked his secretary to send several telegrams to IOC member Ho Zhenliang.

Samaranch wrote the word 'Ho' on the telegram and put a big exclamation mark on the end.

Ho was taken aback when he read the telegraph, and it turned out that several Western news agencies had sent messages from Sydney and Monte Carlo respectively.

It made him unbelievable.

He did not believe that Zhang Baifa would make such an authoritative statement at this sensitive moment, but he could not immediately contact the delegation.

Sure enough, as soon as the executive committee began, Samaranch asked He Zhenliang if he had resisted such a thing.

He Zhenliang unequivocally said that there was no such thing as none.

Samaranch was so pleased that he immediately asked Napier, the IOC's director of public relations, to arrange for Zhenliang to speak at a press conference that day.

Samaranch's intentions are clear,

It is to provide an opportunity for He Zhenliang to clarify the facts and suppress this storm of boycott deliberately created by the West. This is not to some people's liking.

So someone at the meeting said-

If the Chinese side wants to clarify the facts, it can hold its own press conference, so why should He Zhenliang speak at the IOC's press conference?"

Samaranch still insisted that He Zhenliang explain the situation,

There is no secret of his bias towards Beijing - why not let Ho Zhenliang explain his position at the Executive Committee at a press conference?

During a break in the meeting,

Ho Chun-leung hurried back to the hotel to contact the delegation staying at another hotel. He told Wu Shaozu that he must suppress this turmoil as quickly as possible.

Since 1976, the *Games have been the most nerve-wracking thing for the IOC.

Boycotts are generally motivated by political considerations. It has been proven in practice for many years, and the international sports community has reached a consensus:

Boycotts are not in the interest of athletes.

Ho Zhenliang was on the front line of contact with the IOC and felt the mentality of the members earlier than anyone else in China.

The practice of meeting for political purposes is the most unpopular in the IOC.

Sydney's rumours of a Chinese meeting are a means of getting the least bang for the buck to Beijing's bid for the 'best' results.

Therefore, Ho Zhenliang considered his speech at the press conference,

It is necessary not only to give our friends who support us a basis to refute rumors, but also to convince those who were skeptical that they are rumors, so as to increase sympathy for us.

Before going to the press center,

He Zhenliang hurriedly learned about the Chinese delegation's press conference that day. As expected, Western journalists seized on the issue of the so-called "boycott",

He frequently challenged the spokesman of our delegation.

Surprisingly, the spokesperson was not clear and firm enough in his answer, saying only that he had not studied the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

The Chinese Olympic Committee has always respected and supported the purpose of the Olympic Games.

We will actively support anything conducive to the development of the Olympic Movement. This kind of diplomatic reply not only cannot suppress the turmoil,

On the contrary, it makes people feel that "things happen for a reason",

As a result, more doubts arise.

Therefore, at the press conference of the International Olympic Committee, He Zhenliang did not hesitate to hundreds of Chinese and foreign reporters and explained straight to the point.

The purpose of Beijing's bid to host the 2000 Olympic Games,

It is to contribute to the development of the Olympic Movement in China and the world.

Promote mutual understanding among peoples and world peace. Regardless of the outcome of the vote, China's position on contributing to the Olympic Movement will remain unswerving.

The reporter continued to ask.

Will China participate in the Atlanta Olympics?

Do you have any comment on Zhang Baifa's speech? He Zhenliang first replied in French: I didn't know that Mr. Zhang Baifa had this kind of conversation.

His remarks are clearly mistranslated and miscommunicated.

I want to point out that I am the President of the Chinese Olympic Committee.

I repeat, regardless of the Monte Carlo vote, we will be at the Lillehammer Winter Olympics and the Atlanta Olympics.

He repeated again in English,

The reporters finally stopped asking questions.

Although China's position on participating in the Atlanta Olympics is already crystal clear. The boycott seems to have passed on the surface.

But its impact is clearly unlikely to disappear completely.

This was very depressing for the whole delegation.

At this time, Phoenix Satellite TV announced the conversation between the second vice president of the International Olympic Committee and the president of the Australian Olympic Committee, Gosper, and others.

The content is to instruct the Australian media to take the weapon of public opinion,

There is pressure on Beijing's bid for the Olympic Games.

The recording of the conversation caused an uproar as soon as it was released. While the use of public opinion tools in the process of competition is a common practice in all countries,

But it's all done in secret, just tacitly.

Now the nature of being made public is completely different.

Of course, Gosper vigorously denied it and accused Phoenix Satellite TV of spreading rumors, but Phoenix Satellite TV was very tough, saying that it could be identified.

At the same time, there are more recordings that have not been released.

He then formally protested to the IOC and asked for a postponement of the vote. Samaranch showed rare caution in the matter.

September 21

That is, two days before the vote, the IOC held a press conference, and the president of the Olympic Committee, Samaranch, personally attended the press conference.

And said at the press conference-

At China's request, the IOC will postpone the vote on the right to host the 2000 Olympic Games, and the specific date will be decided after study.

This decision came as a relief to the entire Chinese delegation.

Before the boycott turmoil, Beijing should have had the highest chance of winning among all the bidding cities, even if it was in an advantageous position compared to Sydney.

But after resisting the storm,

China's chances of winning have obviously been greatly affected, although the Chinese Olympic Committee president, He Zhenliang, has clarified in the most blunt tone after the fact.

But the effects have already been done,

How can it be so easy to eliminate it completely? In this case, Australia, which has previously surveyed similar to China, can certainly overtake it.

Originally, the Chinese delegation was prepared for the worst.

I didn't think it would turn around.

In fact, under normal circumstances, there is absolutely no reason for the Chinese delegation to request a postponement of the vote. You must know that Australia is China's biggest rival.

Now the biggest opponent has such a big scandal,

You should take advantage of the victory and chase after it.

But Gosper is not only the president of the Australian Olympic Committee, but also the second vice president of the IOC, if the situation continues to ferment,

Australia's approval rating has plummeted,

But the image of the IOC will also be greatly affected.

This is definitely something that Samaranch and other IOC officials do not want to see. It is imperative that the situation be calmed down as soon as possible.

And the vote on the 23rd is not suitable for any further conduct.

So Samaranch personally spoke with Ho Zhenliang on the phone, after which Ho Zhenliang asked the IOC to postpone the vote.

Gave the IOC a step down.

Two weeks later, Gosper resigned as IOC second vice-president and Australian Olympic committee president, citing health concerns.

and said that he would no longer hold any public office.

Three days later, the IOC announced that the 102nd Session of the IOC would be held in Marseille, France, on 7 January 1994.

Xiang Huaqiang smiled: "This is a good thing,

If this Olympic bid can be successful, the central government and 1.2 billion Chinese will remember the merits of your Huo family.

It's a pity that Xiangjia's reputation has always been bad. ”

Li Zeyan also said: "My father also said that Old Man Huo is a real patriotic person, and Brother Huo is inheriting the old man's patriotic career." ”

Huo Zhenting smiled and waved his hand,

Then sat down on the sofa: "Being praised by you like this, I almost feel like a great man, hehe, don't talk about this."

It's hard to come out and have a fun time, just sit like this?"

Li Ze laughed and said, "We are going to come out for three days and two nights this time, Brother Huo is sure that we are going to start playing now? ”

This man can't do anything, but the guy below can't.

Huo Zhenting's chest straightened, and his face, which had always been serious in front of outsiders, had a bit of a ruffian smile at this time: "I said Xiao Lizi, don't talk big about it yet,

Young and strong is indeed an advantage,

But some things depend on experience, and slow work is not necessarily bad. Well, I don't think you care about your female companions,

Draw lots first,

Write the names of the four women on the slip of paper, and whichever woman is drawn, that woman is his. The other three, of course, had no opinion.

Immediately write four names on four slips of paper.

The results came out soon, Xiang Huaqiang was unlucky to draw Guan Xiumei, Huo Zhenting drew Weng Hong, and Li Ze drew Yuan Jieying,

Wei Xiong is Cai Shaofen.

Then Huo Zhenting said: "Put some wine first, how can you come out to play without wine." ”

After speaking, he got up and said to the women on the deck below: "I said a few beautiful women, dinner should be almost digested, come up." ”

……

Dinner was plentiful, with a wide variety of delicacies from the mountains and seas, as well as Ronis wines, which are said to have been enjoyed only by the French royal family hundreds of years ago.

However, although the dinner was delicious,

Yuan Jieying and Cai Shaofen were a little entangled in their hearts.

After dinner, the four girls went to the fourth deck, which has an outdoor pool and a bar that surrounds the pool.

Next to the counter is not an ordinary seat,

Rather, it is a multi-functional massage chair.

This massage chair is waterproof, and people in swimsuits who have just come up from the pool will have no problem sitting on it without wiping it.

And the shape of the massage chair has been specially designed.

Be consistent with your surroundings. In fact, every detail of the yacht is not self-contained, but forms an organic whole with its surroundings.

In this case, the woman is significantly easier to get close to.

After all, they are allies.

What's more, the four girls have been together for several hours in the afternoon,

Even those who haven't dealt with each other before, such as Weng Hong and Yuan Jieying, are gradually getting acquainted. Of course, on the surface it looks very kind,

There are even jokes and jokes.

But I don't know what I think in my heart.

Cai Shaofen walked down the stairs to the shore, then leaned on the bar and poured herself a glass of red wine, tasting the red wine, but her eyes looked into the distance.

It was pitch black, and she didn't know what she was looking at.

It's just that all of a sudden it's a little touching.

If you count the debut time, she should be considered relatively early, and participated in the super model contest held by TVB in 1989.

But the results are not outstanding.

Therefore, in 1991, she participated in the Miss Hong Kong contest and won the third runner-up, and later signed a contract with Hong Kong Television Broadcasts Co., Ltd. and made her debut.

She was 17 years old at the time.

Most people at this age are still in school, but she has to work hard because she has a mother who is a gambler.

All the money she earned went to her mother to pay off her gambling debts.

But even so, it still can't fill the huge hole. The tremendous pressure forced her to almost collapse and even commit suicide several times.

About half a year ago,

She unexpectedly met Li Zeyan.

The second son of the Li family, one of the four major families in Hong Kong, is definitely an identity that most women can flock to.

She's no exception.
