In 1983, China submitted an application to the Olympic Council of Asia to host the 1990 Asian Games. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The following year, the Olympic Council of Asia Congress in Seoul competed with Hiroshima, Japan, and Beijing, China, won the right to host it by a vote of 43 to 22.

In recent years, most of the mainstream media reports on China in Europe and the United States have been negative, and China needs to give full play to the role of sports as the main platform for people-to-people diplomacy, and use the Asian Games as an opportunity to open up the situation and improve the surrounding environment.

Therefore, the Asian Games held in Beijing, China in 1990 were crucial.

In April 1985, the Beijing Asian Organizing Committee was established.

The following year, the Asian Games project, which included the National Olympic Sports Center and the Athletes' Village, broke ground on hundreds of hectares of cropland at the northern end of Beijing's central axis.

At the same time, a number of supporting projects have also been launched.

Although it is now the 10th year of reform and opening up, China's economic foundation is still very weak for hosting the Asian Games -- at this stage, the central government allocates more than 200 million yuan a year for sports, which is equivalent to buying a popsicle for each person in the whole country according to the current price level.

In order to host the Asian Games, the central government has allocated nearly 2.9 billion yuan and the local government has raised nearly 2.9 billion yuan, and there is still a gap of more than 2 billion yuan.

Speaking of which, Xu Cun is also blamed for this matter - as soon as the Beijing Asian Organizing Committee was established, Xu Cun donated one billion Hong Kong dollars (equivalent to more than 300 million yuan) to the Asian Games, which made the Beijing Asian Organizing Committee overestimate their ability to raise money.

In addition, with Xu Cun's help, China's reform and opening up in this life is obviously much more successful than in the previous life, and it also makes China much richer than in the previous life.

Therefore, when the Beijing Asian Games Organizing Committee formulated the Olympic Sports Center, the Asian Games Village and supporting facilities for the current Asian Games, it forcibly upgraded the project that could have been built with less than 3 billion yuan to a project that required at least 5 billion yuan to be built.

Actually-

Now China is also a bit of a family.

But China needs to use this money to trade with the world to make money, and it is impossible to smash them into a sports meeting.

Moreover, the Ministry of Finance has successively allocated 1.3 billion yuan to the Asian Organizing Committee (only 700 million yuan was allocated in the previous life. ）。

Therefore, the remaining funding gap of more than 2 billion yuan, calling on private fund-raising has become the only way.

To this end, the Asian Organizing Committee has set up a special 'fundraising department' - donations, sale of broadcast rights, advertising, sale of houses in the Asian Games Village, distribution of sports lottery tickets, etc. A number of media outlets, including the People's Daily, have also launched a campaign to find the first donor to the Beijing Asian Games, and the whole country is immersed in the passionate atmosphere of hosting the Asian Games.

In the face of the difficulties encountered in the preparations for the Beijing Asian Games, the whole country has launched a wave of donations from top to bottom.

"The people of the whole country are hosts!"

"Everyone cares about the Asian Games, and everyone contributes to the Asian Games"

"The Asian Games fight for the honor of the country, and I add glory to the Asian Games!"

From the central leaders to the masses from all walks of life, from the retired elderly to the children in kindergartens, the Chinese including compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and overseas Chinese donated money and materials for the Asian Games, and performed charity sales and free clinics.

Fok Yingdong, a wealthy businessman in Xiangjiang, even donated 100 million yuan with a wave of his hand to build the 'Yingdong Swimming Pool' named after him.

Later, according to statistics, the fundraising department of the Beijing Asian Organizing Committee accepted nearly 200 million donations, of which the total amount of donations reached 600 million yuan (more than 300 million yuan was donated by Xu Cun, and 100 million yuan was donated by Huo Ying). In other words, the remaining nearly 200 million people actually donated a total of 170 million yuan. It can be seen that China is really poor now. ）。

But even so, there is still a gap of nearly 2 billion yuan, and it is still a gap that is difficult to raise.

In addition, there is no turning back from the bow - the Asian Games project, which has been planned and constructed for nearly two years, cannot be stopped at all.

Therefore, even if it is difficult, the Asian Organizing Committee has to find a way to plug the gap that is difficult to raise for two billion!

I don't know when a saying began to become popular in Chinese officialdom - it is difficult to find Xu Cun.

As a result, the desperate Asian Organizing Committee made a lot of efforts to contact Xu Cun, who was on vacation on Musa Island, hoping that Xu Cun could close the gap that was difficult to raise two billion.

The people of the Asian Organizing Committee also knew that it would be a bit embarrassing to ask Xu Cun for money again - after all, Xu Cun had already donated one billion Hong Kong dollars two years ago.

After some discussion and research, the Asian Organizing Committee gave Xu Chong the best plot of land in the Asian Games Village. I felt that it was still too bad, and before discussing with Xu Cun, the Asian Organizing Committee discussed with the Beijing Municipal Government, and got two pieces of excellent land for Xu Cun in Chaoyang District - according to the current land price in Beijing, these six pieces of land are about 400 million yuan, which is still more.

Calling Xu Cun, Wu Shaozu, the director of the Sports Committee, who was appointed in danger, cautiously talked about the practical difficulties of the Asian Games Organizing Committee, and hoped that Xu Cun would buy four plots of land in the Asian Games Village and two plots of land in Chaoyang District to help the Asian Organizing Committee solve part of the current funding gap, and euphemistically expressed the hope that Xu Cun could donate some more money for the Asian Games.

Xu Mian pondered for a while on the other end of the phone, and said, "That's it, Director Wu, I'll pay one billion yuan to buy these six pieces of land, but I have one condition." ”

When he heard that Xu Cun was willing to spend one billion yuan to buy these six pieces of land worth only 400 million, Wu Shaozu was overjoyed! Then he hurriedly said: "You said, Mr. Xu, as long as our sub-organizing committee can do it, we will definitely agree!" ”

Xu Cun said bluntly: "I hope that when signing the agreement, the actual price of these six pieces of land can be marked, if your Asian Organizing Committee is not too difficult, I also hope that the authoritative price department can issue a relevant price recognition procedure." ”

As soon as he heard Xu Cun's request, Wu Shaozu immediately took care of it and said: "Mr. Xu, please rest assured, these two things are on my old Wu!" ”

Xu Cun said: "Then please ask Director Wu for you." Well...... I personally donate another 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, after all, the Asian Games is the Asian Games for every Chinese, and I should make a modest contribution as a Chinese. ”

Hearing that Xu Cun donated another 600 or 700 million yuan, Wu Shaozu was moved to tears! Immediately, Wu Shaozu choked up slightly and said: "Mr. Xu, you have done all this for the motherland, and the people will not forget it!" ”

Xu Cun said hypocritically: "I don't want this. ”

Without waiting for Wu Shaozu to speak, Xu Cun said again: "I estimate that you may still have shortcomings, so I will ask my company's artists to come on a national voluntary tour to help you block the missing part of the money, and by the way, promote our Asian Games." ”

"Mr. Xu......"

Wu Shaozu was so moved that he couldn't even speak!

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Wu Shaozu asked: "Mr. Xu, on behalf of all the staff of the Asian Committee, I ask you to come to the Asian Games Village and meet our athletes!" ”
