Zhou Xi sat on the plane from China to Italy with a depressed face, although going abroad is considered a bad American, but the World Cup Asian qualifiers are imminent, and the reporters in the newspaper who are older than her have gone to train with the national team, but she was sent to Italy, thousands of miles away, to report on the study abroad of the Jianlibao team, which does not look like she is taken seriously. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"I heard that a group of children were sent to Italy to learn football, and I want to follow up and report on it. Xiao Zhou, you go and follow, this is a task pressed down from above. Thinking of his boss's indifferent appearance, Zhou Xi knew that this was one of those political tasks.

"Sports Weekly" was originally a newspaper affiliated to the HN Provincial Sports Commission, although it has begun to operate independently in recent years, and is responsible for its own profits and losses, it cannot completely throw off the face of the Sports Commission. However, this kind of task is the most hated by reporters in the newspaper, and the whole article is an official article, so it was thrown to Zhou Xi, who has the least qualifications.

At this time, the domestic flight can only go to Rome first, fortunately, Prato is one of the main transportation hubs in Italy, and it is very convenient for the train to get here.

However, all this was far less shocking than when he got off the train. Walking out of the exit and stopping a taxi, Zhou Xi remembered that he didn't know if the driver could understand English, so he hurriedly pulled out the dictionary he brought from China from his bag. But the driver in front of him turned his head, looked at the dictionary in her hand, and smiled: "Miss, from China?" ”

"Huh?" Zhou Xi opened her mouth in shock, and the driver spoke authentic Chinese, but this made her feel more cordial: "Big brother is also Chinese?" ”

The driver smiled: "Can the ghost guy say that we can talk Chinese like me?" Where's the young lady? ”

Zhou Xi smiled embarrassedly, but to be a reporter, his personality must be extroverted, and if he can meet a "person of his own" in this foreign country, Zhou Xi's embarrassment was instantly eliminated: "Big brother, your surname, can you send me to this address first?" As he spoke, he handed the driver a small note he had copied down. The newspaper has already contacted the Chinese person in charge of the Jianlibao team, and they will help find a hotel to stay in, so they have to go to the Jianlibao team's residence first

"Your surname is Zhang, Zhang Bing, ZJ Wenzhou." The driver glanced at the address, and was not surprised to start the car while saying, "Is the young lady here to visit relatives or on business?" ”

"Big brother, my name is Zhou Xi, I am a reporter from "Sports Weekly", and the newspaper sent me here for an interview. I heard that a group of children from China came here to learn football, Brother Zhang, do you know about this? ”

"You're talking about Da Yu and Jihai's group of children, right? How can I not know, I also drove them to training two days ago, just our Chinese, who doesn't know them now, and only kicked the group of children of the ghost guys 7:0 in the last game......" The driver Zhang Bing babbled about some interesting things that happened after Jianlibao arrived in Prato, and Zhou Xi also listened to it with relish.

At this time, the taxi turned into the urban area where the Chinese were concentrated, and the number of Chinese on the street suddenly increased, which made Zhou Xi's eyes widen in shock. Coupled with a variety of Chinese signs, shouts in Wenzhou dialect, and some Chinese songs on the storefront, Zhou Xi thought he was on the street of a city in China. Zhang ...... Brother Zhang, this ...... Why are there so many of us Chinese here? ”

Zhang Bing glanced at it and said, "What is this, there are more Chinese in Chinatown." The whole Prato population of less than 200,000, we Chinese have tens of thousands, the Qing Dynasty for a while, there are people in the country, Chinatown where the archway is the old cultural relics in 1905, and then the reform and opening up, there are people who come here to vote for relatives, plus the expansion of the textile factory here, in urgent need of manpower, there are constantly people coming, the most is our ZJ people. ”

At this moment, a team in front of them, dressed in neat blue jerseys and tied with red heads, crossed the road with gongs and drums, and saw that there were hundreds of people, and the scene was quite spectacular.

"Brother Zhang, what is this for?" Zhou Xi's eyes widened in curiosity.

When Zhang Bing saw it, he couldn't help patting his head: "Look at my memory, Sister Zhou Xi, I don't think you need to go to Vantino's side, today we have a game with the ghost, and the children will go to watch the game, and you will be in vain if you go." ”

"Ahh What competition? Zhou Xi was a little confused and at a loss.

"It's Yang Chen's match with the ghost Luca's team, Luca is three points less than us, this game determines whether we can continue to step on them......" Zhang Bing, who had never watched football before, became a professional fan at this time, chattering endlessly. It's a pity that my mother-in-law fell and injured the day before yesterday, and I have to go to the hospital to change my brother-in-law after a shift change, and I am afraid that today's game will not be seen, but unfortunately I queued for two hours to buy a ticket, 6,000 lira (about 30 yuan), enough for me to pull a whole day of guests. ”

Zhang Bing felt sorry for himself while looking at the car, but he didn't notice that Zhou Xi's eyes were getting brighter and brighter. Italian league, Chinese boss, Chinese star. Player, a European Chinatown with a large number of Chinese, Zhou Xi seems to have formed a complete thinking circuit in her mind, and a wonderful news report inexorably emerges from her mind.

"Brother Zhang, give me your ticket, I happen to have an interview task." As he spoke, he took out the exchanged lira from his wallet.

Zhang Bing saw it and was very embarrassed: "How embarrassing is this, it seems that I want to pour the ticket to you, if you want the ticket, take it, in this foreign country, the villagers, saying that money hurts feelings." ”

Zhou Xi insisted on stuffing the money into the money box in Zhang Bing's driver's seat: "Brother Zhang, I have a reimbursement for this, you can accept it, I want to thank you for helping me." ”

Zhang Bing listened and no longer shirked, in the eyes of the Chinese, it is a fool not to make public money. Immediately, the car turned to the Bisenchio Stadium.

By the time they arrived, the game had an hour to go, but the square outside the stadium was already crowded, with five-star red flags and gongs and drums with Chinese characteristics held high everywhere, and the scene was a hot mess.

And when she entered the stadium, Zhou Xi's ears never quieted down, the earth-shattering shouts and cheers, and the "boos" to the away team filled her ears one after another, and even she was a girl who couldn't help but have her heart beating faster with the changes in the game in the field, and her face was flushed. The Chinese player named Yang Chen, who wore the blue No. 21 jersey of the home team in the field, scored a wonderful volley in the 51st minute of the second half to ignite this atmosphere to the extreme, and at this moment, Zhou Xi felt that he really saw a great opportunity.

A week later, Qu Youyuan, the editor-in-chief of Sports Weekly, had a long newsletter from faraway Italy and a column application on his desk, and he was deep in thought. Looking back on the entrepreneurial history of Sports Weekly:

It was first published in Changsha on July 1, 1988. 4 open 4 editions, 5,000 copies issued in the current year.

In September 1988, all four pages were used to cover the Seoul Olympics for the first time.

On June 25, 1990, it published 4 open 8 editions for the first time, taking the lead in comprehensively covering the World Cup.

On December 3, 1990, the "European League Quick Report" column was officially launched, which was the first media in China to systematically report on the football leagues of European countries.

On June 18, 1991, the "European Football Summary" album was first launched, which confirmed the authoritative position of reporting on the European football league in China. In the second half of the year, the computer typesetting and plate-making system was built, and it became the first local sports newspaper in the country to have a computerized typesetting and plate-making system.

It is precisely by reporting on the influence of European football that the newspaper has grown step by step, but it still lacks an opportunity, an opportunity for the explosive growth of sports weekly, and perhaps this opportunity is just around the corner.
