Chapter 40: The Energy of the Rare Club
Sailing was only popularized at the national level at the beginning because it required certain professional skills and economic strength, and the government selected special talents to organize professional teams to participate in various competitions internationally, and it was not popular among the people until the emergence of one person - Zhao Dongyang, who changed all this.
Zhao Dongyang once said a very famous sentence, which was cited as a spiritual beacon by later sailing enthusiasts, and is still framed and hung on the wall of the sailing department.
"It is wealth that plays yachting, and it is taste that plays sailing."
This famous sentence of superiority directly divides the clear stream and the turbid stream into a clear and clear distinction, attracting a large number of celebrities and rich people who want to show their identity and taste to join this aristocratic sport, and then Zhao Dongyang took the opportunity to establish the first sailing club in China, which is regarded as the holy place in the heart of the new generation of sailing enthusiasts.
Among them is the president of the Sailing Club standing here - Xu Chuncheng.
Xu Chuncheng said excitedly, "If Mr. Duanmu can invite Zhao Dongyang over, then this sailing club is up to you!" I'm not going to say anything! ”
I rub ...... I sold the sailing club so quickly, not afraid that the members of the club would have opinions?
Duanmu Ci's eyes swept away, but found that the rest of the members present were also bright-eyed, for them, the real sailing enthusiasts, if they could get the personal guidance of Zhao Dongyang, the "godfather of sailing" in their minds, who would care about the life and death of the sailing club? Whoever cares, who cares!
Duanmu Ci was even a little suspicious, if Xu Chuncheng dared to pop out of his mouth with the word "no", then these members who usually saddled him before and after the horse could turn their faces and coup on the spot!
Xu Youmei was the only sane person present besides Duanmu Ci, because she didn't play sailing, but as a club manager with a certain professional level, she obviously understood what the three words "Zhao Dongyang" meant in the sailing world, so she didn't stop her brother's "shameful" behavior of "losing power and humiliating the country......
Of course, Zhao Dongyang, who is regarded as a "guiding light" by a large number of domestic sailing fans, may only pay lip service, and he is born in the national team, and he has really won a lot of medals in some international competitions, and there are many gold medals, which is a model of both fame and strength.
And he was also the runner-up winner of the Atlanta Olympics in '96, and he is very strong.
It's no wonder that these young people prepare for the pilgrimage as soon as they hear these three words.
Xu Chuncheng's excitement calmed down slightly, "But how do you prove that what you said is true?" "Damn, Olympic runner-up, please if you say please? Who do you think you are? This sentence is very polite, but it is also true, the status of the Olympic champion and runner-up in China is not ordinary, just watch the news.
Xu Chuncheng looked at Duanmu Ci, do you want to rely on your face to invite?
Duanmu Ci smiled and said, "Well, if I can invite Zhao Dongyang to the Sailing Club as your coach, you will listen to me - I mean the Sailing Club will listen to me." ”
"Okay! No problem! Xu Chuncheng agreed.
It sounds a bit appalling to invite an Olympic runner-up to the school to be an ordinary club coach, but it is not without reason and possibility.
Because they're human too.
If it is an Olympic champion and runner-up in the 21st century, there is naturally no shortage of food and clothing, and there will be invitations from various advertising endorsements and image ambassadors flying like snowflakes. But the last century was different, and the welfare at that time was far from being as good as it is now, so the Olympians of that era were relatively not as good as they are now.
Except, of course, some individual ones.
Duanmu Ci had learned before coming that Zhao Dongyang had previously worked as a coach at Kyoto University in Japan, and it was obvious that his reputation in foreign countries was very average, and he was not as prosperous as in the Chinese sailing world. Later, as the relationship between China and Japan began to twist and turn, he also returned to China and ran a sailing club.
But if he can be hired by a foreign university with a high salary, why can't he be hired by a Chinese university with a high salary? Duanmu Ci felt that this was probably a misunderstanding, everyone felt that an Olympic runner-up was tall and unlikely to accept such an offer, plus he was ...... in the sailing world In particular, the status of the folk sailing industry is even more unattainable, and no one would have thought that such a high-ranking figure would actually do such a job as a club coach......
As a result, they were forced to teach at foreign universities......
In fact, if you really think about it, Zhao Dongyang may not do it, if he has the opportunity to coach the national team, he will not hesitate to go happily, but unfortunately he does not have this opportunity. But he loved sailing so much that he was reluctant to leave it or do anything that had nothing to do with it, so as soon as he received an offer from a foreign university, he gritted his teeth and went.
It's like an aging captain who doesn't want to leave his ship.
Duanmu Ci could almost imagine that if he invited Zhao Dongyang to stand in front of these students one day, and then said, "This is your new coach, say hello to the coach!" I am afraid that even Obama's presence in person would not have had that effect......
Duanmu Ci suddenly looked forward to it......
He walked out of the sailing club and made a phone call.
"Jin, help me post a task at the Rare Club, saying that I want to contact Zhao Dongyang, the runner-up of the sailing competition at the Atlanta '94 Olympics, and hope to get help from the members. If there's a message, get back to me right away! Got it? Well, that's all. ”
Duanmu Ci hung up the phone, the full name of this person named "Jin" is Duanmu Jin, and he is the permanent member of the family's management committee in the rare club, and when the Morgan family has not united with the rest of the top families of the management committee to make a complete attack, the Duanmu family is still qualified to send personnel to live on the top of the tallest building in Monaco.
And a task of this caliber is nothing to mention to the well-connected guys in the Rare Club, let alone matching with an Olympic runner-up, as long as the price is enough, it is no problem to know the Queen of England! Not to mention this.
It's just that the guys who can become members of the Rare club usually know the Queen of England, or something like that.
Just when Duanmu Ci was walking around the campus to enjoy the scenery, Duanmu Jin's phone called-
"Things settled? Well, good, I see. Duanmuci hung up the phone.
In less than thirty minutes, the matter was resolved by Mr. Jerome Pearce, Secretary General of the International Sailing Federation, and the venerable Dutchman provided contact details about Zhao Dongyang. Duanmu Ci will send someone to contact him in the near future to try to lure him in...... It's a solicitation.
And from this incident, it can also be seen how the energy of the Rare club is not to be underestimated! Let's ask a place like this, how can Duanmu Ci be willing, willing, and willing to give up?
Of course, I am unwilling, reluctant, and unbearable.
Even if the opponent is the Morgan family, Duanmu Ci will certainly not be afraid.
His "Juhe" can cut off a person or a family.
