July 29th. Four o'clock in the afternoon. Wembley Stadium, which was crowded with 100,000 people, was buzzing.

In front of 100,000 people, George loudly announced that the 14th Summer Olympics had officially opened. There was deafening applause and cheers, and the sound was also transmitted to the world through the radio.

For the first time, the Olympics were televised. Of course, there are no conditions for direct recording and broadcasting on current television, but the film is filmed and then broadcast on TV.

For the first time, however, people were able to watch a sports match without being in person, and in London alone, more than half a million people watched the opening ceremony on television.

After George opened the Games, Prime Minister Attlee delivered his famous peace speech and warmly welcomed athletes and delegations from 60 countries, followed by a lively cultural show and athletes' entrance ceremony.

Zhou Nan and Audrey beside him, and Hou Cong, the South China ambassador behind him, were all dressed in Chinese costumes and sat in the VIP area behind the rostrum.

Audrey's side, the author Marita and a group of aristocratic girls, and even Eliza, who is pregnant with Liujia, also attended the opening ceremony today.

Next to Zhou Nan, sitting is FIFA President Jules Remet.

Remet became famous in later generations, and the World Cup was always called the Remet Cup before the Hercules Cup, which shows his contribution to football.

When entering today, Zhou Nan specially called Remet to sit down beside him, and then handed him the football rules he had sorted out for the future, including some improved rules.

Although FIFA is also in Switzerland, less than an hour's drive from Zhou Nan, Zhou Nan has no contact with the sports world before, so he has never found an opportunity to contact Remet.

But now that he is the majority shareholder of Arsenal, it is not abrupt to talk to Remet about football.

FIFA has been established for many years, and the World Cup has become the fist product of FIFA, but the current rules are still chaotic.

At the beginning of the World Cup, there was no knockout match at all, only a round-robin match, which made many fans look forward to a lot.

Even, like the Indian team, their players don't wear shoes when they play and are therefore not allowed to participate in the World Cup.

Zhou Nan's suggestions can be said to be the mature rules of football rules in later generations, so when Remet saw it, he was already attracted to it, so that the lively opening ceremony did not attract his attention.

The rules of the three-point system, goal difference, no tackles from behind, group stage, knockout round, etc., can be said to have raised the rules of football to a new level at once.

The club's operating rules, player transfer rules, and salary restrictions have brought the football league into a stage of reasonable competition.

Remet was a treasure trove of improvements to the rules of football in his opponents, and he knew that if these systems could be turned into reality in his hands, his name would forever be etched in the history of football.

Zhou Nan was in a very happy mood, not only because of today's opening ceremony, but also because of yesterday's cocktail party, which attracted many famous professors to Nanhua University.

Zhounan's integrated planning of production, education and research has attracted the favor of many experts. In particular, the financial support promised by Zhou Nan has made many experts who have devoted themselves to research but are troubled by funds.

Today's universities actually have research funds, but these funds are all donations from the society.

There is no university that has directly proposed to become an incubator for scientific research, and set up a special fund within the school to support the research and development team.

While teaching, I can lead students at the same time, and at the same time, I can get support funds for research.

Zhou Nan also promised that when all scientific research results enter the profit stage, a part of the profits will be divided to continue to support research, and individuals can also get profit distribution.

It can be said that this condition cannot be given by any university at present.

Moreover, Zhou Nan also spent his own money and published job advertisements in major newspapers in the United Kingdom, recruiting experts who were willing to teach in Nanhua with generous treatment.

This morning, the phone at his home has been ringing nonstop. The management team from the University of South China has already begun to get busy, evaluating each expert and then giving corresponding treatment.

As for research funding, there is a big gap now, but Zhou Nan is also confident that he will be able to raise funds.

Although this investment is very large, Zhou Nan is also confident that he will earn it all back.

The population constraints of Nanhua determined that it was impossible for Nanhua to develop in an all-round way in the overall industrial field.

For example, if you don't have a large-scale cotton planting base, is it possible to develop the textile industry?

There are many countries that have an advantage over you, and you will always only use your own shortcomings to meet the enemy's strengths, and even if you can lead for a while, you will not be able to lead for a long time.

However, if you don't develop the textile industry, you can develop the garment processing industry, and the added value at this stage is higher.

This is only one aspect, there is a rapidly developing Japan as an example in later generations, and Zhou Nan knows very well which path Nanhua should take in the future.

In addition to the steel industry, NANHUA will not invest in basic development industries, but will need to position its development in high value-added applied technology industries.

For example, consumer electronics, such as finishing, such as becoming a free trade port, such as a financial center.

Of course, if you want to stay competitive in these aspects, even a competitive advantage, the importance of the University of South China is very important.

It is gratifying that now that Basel Pharma and Roche have established medical research centers in Nanhua, Nanhua will have a certain competitive advantage in the field of biopharmaceuticals.

These two pharmaceutical companies, including Bayer, in which Zhou Nan's Hoffman family owns 26 percent of the shares, are among the top ten pharmaceutical companies in later generations.

Volkswagen is building a factory in Nanhua, and it will also open an automotive research school at the University of Nanhua, and Zhou Nan has decided to move his design studio to Nanhua University Town.

What is even more commendable is that Hughes Aircraft Company, Rolls-Royce's aircraft engine factory, including the wind tunnel laboratory built with US assistance, will also drive Nanhua's competitive advantage in the aircraft field.

With these alone, the future development of Nanhua is worth looking forward to.

The Nanhua sports delegation entered, and Zhou Nan and the Nanhua officials behind him all stood up, thinking about the Nanhua athletes waving.

The South China athletes did not wear fancy clothes, and each of them wore sportswear designed by Zhou Nan.

This kind of sportswear is very similar to the clothing of the 2008 Chinese Olympic team, with red as the main color and yellow as the color, this novel style is particularly conspicuous among the athletes in the tank top and shorts.

After his Olympic debut, Zhou Nan believes that he will be able to make a lot of money.

The enterprise that produces sportswear is a large garment factory owned by the Lin Bingsheng family of Nanhua, whose family is mainly engaged in grain trade, and the development of the garment factory has been tepid.

In the process of cooperating with the Hepburn brand, Kelvin, who was in charge of business planning in Nanhua, took a fancy to the company's talent pool and persuaded Helder to buy 90% of the shares of the garment factory.

Lin Bingsheng refused to sell the other 10 percent of the shares anyway, they needed to keep 10 percent of the shares, and then they could maintain a cooperative relationship with Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan originally didn't have much interest in starting a garment factory, but in fact, he rarely interfered with the current Hebon company, and he was not interested in designing clothes anymore.

But because when designing costumes for South China athletes, he thought of Adidas and Nike in later generations. Now Nike has it, but Adidas hasn't built it yet.

The development of those two companies in later generations can be described as prosperous, and Zhou Nan felt that this industry also had a lot to offer, so he agreed to the acquisition plan, and now began to produce sportswear in full force.

In order to attract people, Zhou Nan named the sports brand Olympia. Actually, he remembered the name Olympiad more, but the name had already been registered.

In Zhou Nan's opinion, the name Olympia is already very good, and he knows that it is a sports brand at a glance. Brands like Binike and Adidas also need to gradually establish their own brand image, which already has a natural advantage.

In addition to the South China Olympic team, Arsenal is also a natural partner.

At present, as soon as the Olympia factory earns its first pot of gold, it will start to launch an all-out market rush to all sports around the world.

It doesn't take much advertising or even sponsorship to grab the market now, as long as Olympia is willing to provide clothing for free, it can make all the teams happy.

Because now even a team like Arsenal has to spend their own money to buy sportswear.

When night fell, today's opening ceremony also came to a successful conclusion. For others, this opening ceremony can be called wonderful, but for Zhou Nan, the current opening ceremony is simply too simple.

After watching the opening ceremony in 2008, the opening ceremony of any Olympic Games, it is impossible to shock his soul again.

Remet was already so excited that he couldn't restrain himself, and when he left, he insisted on pulling Zhou Nan to talk about the reasons for the change of some new rules and the benefits of the change.

Zhou Nan also wants to be able to enjoy the smooth games of later generations in this era, instead of seeing one violent incident after another on the field, more like expanding his influence in the hearts of fans by changing the rules of football.

So, he also invited Remet to his home, and the two of them had a detailed discussion about the rules to be changed.

Their conversation continued into the night, and it was raining outside. In the end, Remet stayed in the villa to rest, but he couldn't sleep at all, asked Zhou Nan for paper and pen, and began to revise and supplement Zhou Nan's suggestions.

Audrey had already fallen asleep, but Zhou Nan woke her up when she was lying on the bed.

She didn't complain, but turned around and hugged Zhou Nan, found a comfortable position in his arms, and said in a daze: "Honey, tomorrow we are going to watch the South China delegation's game, go to bed early." ”

Tomorrow will start the shooting competition, which is also the only competition event in which South Chinese people have the hope of winning medals.
