Chapter 0183: Wrestling Under the Five Rings
So far, Tang Huan's trip to Europe can be said to have been basically smooth, in addition to carrying the aura of a strong United States, his own qualities such as language communication and professional level are also extremely important. Such was the case with Seydoux's befriending.
At the beginning, the other party naturally received him politely, and even prepared a translator, but soon he found that Tang Huan did not speak French fluently, and the first impression of extraordinary conversation was established.
Sophie? Marceau's matter, after hand-holding, Tang Huan also confirmed in public that the stage name of this fourteen-year-old French girl is Sophie? Marceau, it's not the first time he's done this kind of thing, and Guan Zhilin has also enjoyed this treatment.
A whole bunch of French people agree with Sophie? Marceau's name is good, and Tang Huan, who is well versed in French culture, has a better impression, and after the bejeweled Christina appeared as an agent, they suddenly realized that Sophie? Marceau was bumped into great luck and met a nobleman.
At this time, Graff father and daughter, who had already taken care of all kinds of trivial matters, rushed over from Germany.
Christina pulled Sophie and Graff, two little Lori, left and right, looked at them with a smile for a long time, and finally quietly asked Tang Huan: "The two of them, who can produce the results first?" ”
"Sophie will be faster, but Graf has a bigger future, and these are two treasures anyway, enough for you and your family to build a reputation in France and Germany." Tang Huan, who couldn't cry or laugh, patiently answered. I also muttered in my heart. Brother helped you find the investment. It's definitely more positive than your father's old ship king marrying the widow of former US First Lady John F. Kennedy.
Christina, who has been pampered since childhood, often fails when dealing with interpersonal relationships with the unequal party, and the evidence in front of her is that she is obviously a big funder who pays for it, but the two little Loli are secretly closer to Tang Huan, which also happens to weigh the mind of the reborn.
Christina is an expert in the enjoyment type, and she can pester Tang Huan with all kinds of novelties. But it's impossible to never get tired of looking at the two little Lori, and the next life content is naturally around eating, drinking, and having fun.
Tang Huan asked Christina to bring Sophie and Graf, the so-called poor son and rich daughter, the two little Loli will become big stars in the future, with some knowledge, it is also good to resist all kinds of temptations, and at the same time, it can be regarded as seeing big scenes, exercising psychological quality, which is not without benefits to the career.
Eating, drinking and having fun is actually a technical job, which is understood by the Chinese people. Gao Yu, a master of Keju in the Song Dynasty, is a typical representative, as for the literati who revolve around the powerful who like vassal elegance. The list goes on and on.
Tang Huan is also a master of playing, at least Christina's recent interests in several sports, such as tennis, yoga, golf, equestrian and other activities, he can afford to put down, especially golf.
Tang Huan sometimes secretly laughs at himself, and among the hundreds of memories in his mind, there must be a group of top horse shooting experts, no, it should be a public relations master.
Of course, Tang Huan would not let the two little loli play crazy and forget her own business, especially Graf, her training cannot be wasted. However, Tang Huan made a slight adjustment, and he taught the other party a set of methods to regulate breathing, just to use this time to get used to it.
All kinds of injuries and illnesses are the natural enemies of athletes, and Graf in her previous life was also immune to this kind of trouble, Tang Huan was using the ancient method of the East to make her understand the tricks of sending and receiving power, and of course, it could also enhance her strength in areas such as agility at the same time.
At that time, Graf's best style of play was a strong forehand and a backhand chip, which the Germans called "Fr?ulein Vorhand", or "forehand girl".
Graf, who has outstanding physical fitness and a very good serve, is his most powerful scoring weapon with a lethal forehand attack. The backhand is mostly a cut, and although the offensive power is average, it can force the opponent to not be able to hit a powerful return.
Moreover, Graf's footwork is flawless, with precise and fast placement, which allows him to unleash a forehand attack. Her fast running throughout the court, her forward and reverse shooting style of play, was once known as "track tennis".
Graf is equally resilient to the environment, being able to perform consistently on any type of surface, including hard, grass and clay, which is a rarity in the tennis world.
Obviously, this is inseparable from Graf's hard training, and in this time and space, Tang Huan has to use his own method to fill it with buffs.
Still, Peter? Graff was initially skeptical about the effect of this, and although he did not dare to chirp, he could see in his face that he was worried that Tang Huan would mislead his daughter.
However, after discovering that Graf had significantly increased the number of aces he had played in training with him recently, the old man completely wilted and no longer gave all kinds of hints to Tang Huan, who was watching from the sidelines.
The so-called ace ball is a situation in which the ball sent by the serving side falls within the opponent's effective area, but the opponent's racket fails to touch the ball, so that the score is scored directly.
Obviously, it's not that easy to hit an ace, let alone Peter? Graff has always been aware of his daughter's level.
For the strictness of this part-time coach, the young Graf has been very afraid for a long time, even if he finds that his father is deflated here, he has a small face and no mood fluctuations, only when she sees Tang Huan, she will smile slightly ostentatiously, which can be said to be her most lively moment.
Like the German and French personality labels, Graf's introversion is markedly different from that of Sophie, but they are the same in that they are far more precocious than their peers.
Christina and Sophie were also present when Tang Huan taught Graff the Tuna method, because some key parts of the body, such as acupuncture points, had to be touched with their fingers, and Graff was still young. Lori collectors have to pay attention to discipline.
When Christina was touched on the acupuncture points. It's often just the first thing to laugh at. It's really delayed, and Sophie appeared generously at this time and took the initiative to take on the task of intermediary, because of the language barrier, Sophie usually had to grope for a while on Graf to determine the correct position after being taught face-to-face, which made Graf blush with shyness.
Seeing this, Christina smiled even more. Tang Huan was also relieved.
During this period, Tang Huan finally got the opportunity to meet with Samaranch, and the other party happened to be in Paris on business, so he didn't need to go to Spain to visit.
Born into a wealthy textile family in Barcelona, Samaranch is about to become the president of the International Olympic Committee, which is closely related to his senior career in the field of sports.
After studying business at the École Supérieure de Business in Barcelona, he became a sports journalist for La Presse, but was dismissed for criticizing Real Madrid's supporters after the 11-1 massacre of FC Barcelona in 1943.
After a period in the family textile business, Samaranch entered politics. Probably because he was a rollerhockey player from his childhood. I have accumulated a good amount of resources, so I am mainly responsible for sports affairs.
Samaranch was elected to the International Olympic Committee in 1966 and became president of the Spanish Olympic Committee in 1967. Franco was appointed Minister of Sport and later served as Vice-President of the IOC from 1974 to 1978.
If people really simply think that the Olympics are just the five rings, then it is simple, and there will inevitably be some political wrestling in it.
After his victory in the Spanish Civil War in 1939, Franco nominally remained neutral to the outside world, but pursued a policy of expansion and pro-Nazi Germany and the fascist kingdom of Italy.
In 1940, he met with Hitler in France, where he wanted Spain to join the Axis powers, but no agreement was reached because the demands for control of Gibraltar and French North Africa could not be met.
In the same year, France was occupied by Germany. Franco, who had taken a pro-Axis stance, considered sending troops to Gibraltar, but he finally abandoned the idea for fear that Britain would take the opportunity to declare war on Spain, and that the war would spread to the Canary Islands, the Spanish colonies in North Africa, and even Spain proper.
However, Franco still dispatched the Blue Division to help Hitler invade the Soviet Union, and it was not until the later stage that he turned to the Allies when the situation was unfavorable.
But this temporary change of flag was not enough to free it from the post-World War II reckoning, and it was ostracized by the international community and even deprived of Spain's membership in the United Nations.
However, due to Franco's strong anti-communist policy and the interests of the United States, the United States gradually normalized relations with Spain in the late 1940s and early 1950s, first with more than 60 million US dollars in aid, and then in 1951 diplomatic relations with Spain were fully restored, and even in 1959 US President Eisenhower visited Spain, and the Franco regime was recognized by the Holy See in 1953, and Spain also joined the United Nations in 1955.
It is not difficult to see that a big fool like the United States, no matter what it says, in the final analysis, is still completely self-interested, and most likes to strategize and win a decisive victory to pull one faction to fight another.
However, this method of saving worry and effort is sometimes bitten back, as evidenced by the prevalence of various anti-American forces in the Middle East in the 21st century.
Although Franco escaped World War II without being held accountable by the United States, and ruled Spain in a dictatorial manner until 1975, Spain's relations with North African countries and European countries did not ease until his death.
In order to change this situation, Franco's designated successor, the son of Prince Juan, the former heir to the royal family, Juan? After the coronation of Carlos I, various reforms were carried out.
One of the results was the normalization of diplomatic relations between Spain and the Soviet Union and Mongolia in 1977, when Samaranch was appointed Spanish ambassador to both countries.
It is said that this position helped him to win the support of the Eastern Bloc, a group of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact member states, in this year's election for the presidency of the IOC in Moscow.
Because the situation is so complicated, the outcome of Samaranch's imminent election as president of the International Olympic Committee is not something that ordinary people can predict, and Tang Huan naturally wants to take advantage of this opportunity to take a share of the influence of the Olympics for his brand.
After meeting Samaranch, Tang Huan looked at each other carefully.
At the age of 60, if you are an ordinary person, of course, you will retire and retire, but for a senior manager, it is the golden age of life experience and work experience. (To be continued......)
