Chapter 413: Kicking the Ball

Although, when Liu Xiang usually walks, he doesn't seem to have much of a problem. In fact, if you look closely, you can see that one of Liu Xiang's legs is always a little weird when he walks. He had a problem with his Achilles tendon, and his unscientific training methods won a momentary victory, but ruined an athlete's career.

Liu Xiang's injuries are known throughout China, and it is not difficult to check them. But it is very easy to heal. As a result of often training barefoot in running shoes, Liu Xiang's right foot developed a blister. After the blisters were punctured, they rubbed against the running shoes and grew calluses. As the training continued, the calluses gradually penetrated into the muscles, which led to problems with Liu Xiang's Achilles tendon. Watson has many ways to deal with such problems. The treatment will have a certain effect, but Watson's pursuit is to completely cure Liu Xiang's injury, so that he can return to his peak state, although for athletes to come, Liu Xiang is no longer young, but for Watson, Liu Xiang's age has not reached the most vigorous period of the individual.

"These areas of your body are very leathery, and if they are slowly recovered, it will take a long time. However, the treatment is more secure. There is also a more radical approach, which is to cut off all of these parts and grow them back. In this way, the treatment time will be significantly shortened and the structure will be more perfect. But it's up to you how you choose. I'm just a doctor. The only one who can really decide is you. Watson said.

Liu Xiang was also very hesitant, thought for a long time, and asked, "How long does conservative treatment take?" ”

"Maybe a few months, maybe a year, maybe a few years. Whether it can be completely restored is not very sure. After all, the leathering of your heel is already very tight, and even your Achilles tendon is connected, which is also a very important reason for your athletic ability. Watson said.

"What if it is removed. How long does it take? Can you ensure full recovery? Also, if I have an excision surgery to restore the fù, will I still be able to participate in the competition after the recovery is completed? Liu Xiang asked.

"Cut the words. It will take at least four weeks, and it should not take more than three months to fully recover. Whether or not you can participate in the competition is entirely up to you. I can only heal my wounds, but I can't heal your psyche. Watson said.

"I chose to have surgery." Liu Xiang naturally understood Watson's words. Watson can heal his injuries, but whether he can recover to the level of participating in international competitions depends on Liu Xiang himself.

Defeat at the Olympics. Liu Xiang has always wanted to prove himself again. The withdrawal of the two heavy dà competitions put Liu Xiang under tremendous pressure. The whole country is suspicious and invective. Liu Xiang could only look at this qiēsheng. Because there are some things that he can't do about it. Liu Xiang's huge commercial value, allowing Liu Xiang to participate in the competition is no longer Liu Xiang's business alone. I knew that I was injured and couldn't participate in the competition, but for commercial gain. Liu Xiang was pushed into the arena. Even at the risk of further deepening the injury.

"Okay, get ready. The rehabilitation centre will arrange for you to have surgery tomorrow. Of course, if you regret it, contact the rehabilitation center in time. Now please go through the pre-surgery procedures. Watson said.

However, when going through the treatment procedures, the issue of cost became the focus of the dispute between the Liu family and the rehabilitation center.

"How is that possible! How expensive will the treatment be? Mother Liu was very surprised when she saw the number on the treatment bill.

5oo million treatment costs. Even the wealthy Liu family couldn't help but gasp.

"You profiteers!" Dad Liu was also very angry. He was extremely indignant at the extortion of the charges charged by the rehabilitation centres.

"I'm sorry. If you are not satisfied with the charges of your team's rehabilitation center, you can choose not to be treated here. Or it can be done in other ways. Zhao Yumeng said.

"What's the other way?" Dad Liu can hear the meaning of Zhao Yumeng's words. I'm afraid this is the focus of Zhao Yumeng's words.

"Actually, this fee is very cheap. If Liu Xiang's injury was really easy to treat, he would not have come to the Fahrenheit Rehabilitation Center by now. I believe you are well aware of this. Our fees are actually very reasonable. If it weren't for the concession from the boss, we would have offered at least 10 million. Zhao Yumeng said.

"You'd better tell me what the other way is." Dad Liu said.

"Have you heard of the twelve hairpins in Zhuchun Hall?" Zhao Yumeng said.

"You mean to ask Liu Xiang to endorse your Fahrenheit Rehabilitation Center?" Dad Liu asked.

"It's not a rehab center. Neither the Fahrenheit Gym nor the Fahrenheit Rehabilitation Center need any hype. Fahrenheit Rehabilitation Center was not intended to open to the public. And the patients in the Fahrenheit Chinese Medicine Center are simply too busy for us. The latest appointment has been scheduled for a month later. It's Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit's international sales network is about to roll out. But the visibility is not enough. Zhao Yumeng said.

"Five million! Do you know how much endorsement income Liu Xiang earned a year during his peak? Your rehabilitation center really dares to speak. Liu's mother said.

"Is there anything else?" Zhao Yumeng said very calmly.

Liu Xiang's parents were quiet. Sponsors have suffered heavy losses due to the withdrawal of two major competitions, and now who wants to let an outdated or even negative star endorse them? After this year, Liu Xiang will be able to get fewer commercial contracts. If Liu Xiang's injury cannot be recovered, after retirement. The business value is close to zero. He is not like Da Yao, Da Yao's image is much stronger than him. At least he didn't hurt the people who supported him again and again.

"Will this surgery ensure that my son will be able to compete?" Dad Liu asked.

"Not guaranteed. We can only guarantee that there will be no physical problems, but whether we can play or not, we can't guarantee at all," Zhao Yumeng said.

"Then you dare to charge such a high fee? Isn't your Chinese medicine hall very cheap? Liu's mother asked.

"As I said, you can choose for yourselves. Fahrenheit will never force you to be treated. The nature of a rehabilitation center is different from that of a Chinese medicine hall. The nature of the Chinese medicine hall is to save lives and help the wounded. So Fahrenheit charges very low. But Fahrenheit Rehabilitation Center is about improving the quality of life for patients. The high fees are also a matter of course. Zhao Yumeng explained.

Liu's father and Liu's mother really have nothing to say, Zhao Yumeng is right. Liu Xiang's foot can live a normal life without surgery. It's just not possible to participate in the contest.

But Liu's mother was still unwilling, "No." We cannot be blackmailed by you in such vain. We contacted the Athletics Management Center of the General Administration of Sports, as well as the Donghai Sports Bureau, and they also took a share of the money our son earned. This time. Naturally, they have to contribute. Either pay for the medical expenses, or come to the Fahrenheit Rehabilitation Center. ”

Dad Liu's eyes also lit up, "Yes, this amount of money should not be paid unilaterally by us." If the son can continue to participate in the competition, the field management center will also have to share dividends. This is a work-related injury in the first place, and it is natural to reimburse medical expenses. ”

Dad Liu dialed the phone number of Dou Cai, the director of the field management center, "Secretary General Dou." I am Liu Xiang's father. There's something I want to report back to you......"

Liu's father told Liu Xiang about his treatment at the Hua's rehabilitation center, and then asked the Tianguan Center for money.

Dou Cai was a little embarrassed, "Mr. Liu, I can't do this thing, I have to ask the General Administration for instructions before I can decide." ”

Liu Xiang's injuries. Dou is clear, and sports rehabilitation experts at home and abroad have long concluded that Liu Xiang's injury is unlikely to fully recover. The odds of playing are also very low. The Tianguan Center is not a rich unit, and only one Liu Xiang can earn some money, compared with other centers, it is almost the same as being called Huazi. If this sum of five million is taken out, the life of the field management center will not be easy.

"You can contact the Tokai Sports Bureau first. After all, Liu Xiang belongs to the direct management of the Donghai Sports Bureau. Of course. The General Administration is still very concerned about Liu Xiang's situation. The center will also keep an eye on Liu Xiang's treatment. If there is anything we need help with, we will do our best. And isn't the charge of the rehabilitation center a little too abnormal? What surgery can cost 5 million at a time? You can also talk to the health authorities first. The pricing of medical expenses should be approved by them and approved by the Price Bureau. "Dou Cai kicked the ball to the Donghai Sports Bureau.

Dad Liu hung up the phone angrily.

"What do they say?" Liu's mother asked.

"It's not about kicking the ball yet! The son has earned them so much money, and now he asks them for a little medical bills, which is actually this attitude. I'll give the Tokai Sports Bureau another call. Dad Liu said.

"None of these officials are good people." Mother Liu also said angrily.

Dad Liu dialed the phone number of Xu Yongyi, director of the Sports Bureau, "Bureau Xu, I am Liu Xiang's father......"

"It's Mr. Liu. We have already discussed Liu Xiang's question many times. Moreover, experts at home and abroad were invited to discuss Liu Xiang's injury. The consensus was that maintaining the status quo was the best way forward. Now that you can't play, you should recognize the reality. As for the cost of treatment, I think that since this matter is led by the field management center, the field management center should also be responsible for it this time. After all, the Donghai Sports Bureau is a municipal-level unit, and its funding is also very limited. And we have so many projects that we all need to invest in. It's hard to pull out too much money. But the Sports Authority is responsible. We will still be responsible for how much we should give. Xu Yongyi is the local leader. But he didn't say anything to death.

"How?" Liu's mother hung up the phone and immediately asked eagerly.

"It's not like that. Not enough, Director Xu is still willing to bear a part. But the premise is that the field management center comes up with the money first. He's sure those bastards at the field management center won't pay for our son's treatment. Dad Liu said.

"Why don't we call the health department? The cost of medical care here is also too high. Liu's mother said.

"You're stupid. When the time comes, if you get stiff, they won't treat you. It was originally a private rehabilitation center. Now there is no external operation. When the time comes, people will directly find excuses not to give treatment. I can't believe the words of those officials. Dad Liu said.

"What then? Five million! If it is not cured and the money is spent again, it will be a big loss. The son didn't learn any skills either, so he pointed to the money later. Liu's mother is not reluctant to pay for her son's treatment, but wants to save up funds for her son's future life.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to that Manager Zhao again." Dad Liu said.

Liu's father and Liu's mother walked into Zhao Yumeng's office again.

"Manager Zhao, I still want to ask again. What are the benefits in the future if it is in the form of free endorsements? Dad Liu asked.

"That's a good question. In fact, you should know that the twelve hairpins of Zhuchuntang are not stupid, but why are they willing to give free endorsements to Zhuchuntang? There are also many celebrities who also come to the door and want to endorse, but they don't have the opportunity. In fact, the fundamental reason is that although they are free endorsements, they receive much more than endorsement fees. The twelve hairpins are all worth double after endorsing Zhuchuntang. The reason is that after joining Zhuchun Hall, they can enjoy services that money can't buy. If Liu Xiang joins Fahrenheit, he can also enjoy such services. For example, the treatment of injuries, the recovery after the game, and the recovery of the state before the game. All of these things can be done in the rehabilitation center. The rehabilitation centre is not open to the public at all. No matter how much money you give, the rehabilitation center will not necessarily accept you. Giving Liu Xiang an exceptional treatment is already for the sake of Liu Xiang's glory for the Chinese. Fahrenheit was not short of money at all. Zhao Yumeng said.

"Can you make sure that Liu Xiang can recover to the level of participating in the competition?" Dad Liu asked.

"If not, wouldn't we lose more? IMHO. How much commercial value can Liu Xiang, who cannot participate in the competition, have? Zhao Yumeng said.

"We still need to think about it." Dad Liu said.

"It's okay, you guys go back and think about it. But I'll advise you to hurry up. Dr. Hua stayed in the rehabilitation center for this period of time because there are many injured players in our team who are receiving rehabilitation treatment here. If they all complete their recovery, they will return to normal conditions here, and Dr. Hua will definitely not stay here. Zhao Yumeng said.

After Liu Xiang's family returned home, they sat in the living room together to discuss.

"Xiang, what do you think of it yourself? Although your father and I have taken care of the money you earn, we haven't spent a penny on you. Over the years, you have not learned other skills in track and field, and you will live with this money in the future. The Athletics Management Center and the Sports Bureau are estimated to be unreliable. You'll have to rely on yourself in the future. Liu's mother said.

"I think it's going to work with Fahrenheit. We don't suffer anyway. And they were right. Although it seems that if I return to my state, I will definitely lose a lot of money in endorsements, but they can guarantee my status! This is something that no money can buy. If I couldn't participate, we didn't lose money, but we got free treatment. Liu Xiang said.

"Well, my son is right. Cooperation is a win-win situation. However, since the Athletics Management Center and the Sports Bureau are unwilling to pay for the treatment, their son's income should not be theirs in the future. It just so happened that after some time all the commercial contracts expired. It is just in time to announce his retirement from the track and field team. Participate in the competition as an individual later. Dad Liu said.
