Chapter 289: The Olympic Journey (12)

After Wu Jie and Chen Haonan left the game, eighty percent of TV and radio viewers immediately switched to the 200m freestyle final.

The atmosphere on Shen Lang's side is somewhat weird, the opponents who have always been friendly before, today always feel that there are a lot of dissatisfaction with him that is about to burst out, especially the sun-like smile before and after the game, which has now turned into a haze before the storm.

The reason for this can be seen from the real-time status displayed by the system, the other 7 players in this final are not in good shape, and there are almost no examples of attribute increases, half of which are in a state of attribute decline.

This will show why they have a bitter and hateful expression, and the Americans still tested their whole body before the game.

This makes many players who feel that they can pass the test not dare to commit crimes against the wind, because the B bottle that is kept as a criminal record is indeed very deterrent.

The Los Angeles Olympic Committee didn't want to do this, but they targeted Shen Lang for two days, and today they conducted two consecutive tests on Shen Lang.

If Shen Lang's results are still excellent, but the scores of others have dropped significantly, he will immediately choose not to take the test.

What will the European media report then?

And what will the Soviets do with the article?

Will Asian public opinion fry?

I'm afraid that even public opinion in North America will turn to attack them!

So now the Los Angeles Olympic Committee has been riding a tiger, and if the testing is suddenly stopped now, it means that they are helping those swimmers avoid illegal drugs, and they will have to carry the big pot for the athletes.

But if you continue to monitor, although it will make Shen Lang more famous under the spotlight!

But their testing will not carry too many negative evaluations, and in the end it can only show that under the strict inspection, the world swimming world is indeed dirty, and it is necessary to rectify it!

In this way, as long as it is guided by the media, the Los Angeles Olympics can be recorded in history as an "anti-doping leader".

Therefore, although this passive win-win situation makes Americans very unhappy, they can only stubbornly carry out the whole test to the end.

This made the final result of the "200-meter freestyle" very spicy, but Shen Lang instead swam a new world record of 1:44.91, not only becoming the first man in the world to swim 1:45 in the 200-meter freestyle, but also improving the original world record by 4 seconds in one go.

This obviously belongs to the toothpaste crowding, Shen Lang originally wanted to swim within 1 minute and 46 seconds of the result.

But in order to make some people more uncomfortable, he deliberately squeezed a little more toothpaste this time.

Looking at the rest of the group, runner-up Jonathan Sieben swam just 1:49.76, which is nearly 5 seconds away.

Gross was even worse in third place, swimming 1:49.13 in the heats, but only 2:00.98 in the final, which was already a huge gap of more than 6 seconds.

Then even the third place result is so ugly, you can imagine how bad the performance of other people will be!

At this moment, the audience who watched the live broadcast of this game can find an interesting situation: when Shen Lang hit the wall first, in the live broadcast footage of this era, only Jonathan and Gross can be seen, and the other 5 players did not appear in the picture that was not wide enough!

This means that their time is at least seven or eight seconds slower than Shen Lang, and if Shen Lang's new world record is not counted, the overall result of this Olympic Games will be three or four seconds slower than the World Swimming Championships two years ago, and it will directly return to the level of the early 70s.

This kind of group foil also made the new world record set by Shen Lang even more shocking, he improved the original world record by 4 seconds in one go, and now he has completely become the fastest man in the world to swim within 200 meters, or that kind of desperate lead.

But this result of 1 yellow abuse and 7 white naturally makes it difficult for many white people to accept, although they love to watch movies in black and white-

"This Chinese must have used doping!"

"The inspectors have to test his urine again after the game, and they have to keep an eye on his work!"

"That's right, how can humans swim so fast?"

"Man, of course humans can swim that fast, but Asians can't do it!"

"That...... China...... Not in South America? ”

"Uh, like...... Indeed...... I remember, right next to Brazil! ”

“……”

The audience was already hotly discussed, and they didn't even notice that the fastest swimmer on the planet had left the scene without looking back after greeting those ugly-faced opponents again.

That's pretty chic!

Western audiences actually appreciate this kind of star with character, if he is a white man!

Americans will not have a good impression of Shen Lang, because the reason why he did not accept the award was that "the Los Angeles Olympic Committee does not apologize".

Shen Lang said that he is a very principled person, since he said that he would not accept the award if he did not apologize, then he would only receive the medal after an apology from Los Angeles!

It is useless for the people of the Olympic Organizing Committee to persuade them, and it is useless for the team leader and Deputy Head Wu to persuade them, this is a matter of principle!

The United States has made preparations this time, and directly pinched the broadcast signal, and the awards should be awarded, the flag should be raised, and the gold medal should be directly handed over to the IOCOG for safekeeping.

As for apologizing, it is absolutely impossible to apologize, and it is absolutely impossible to apologize rather than continue group testing!

After Shen Lang's 200m freestyle final, the third day of competition also came to an end, and the rest of the ongoing events had nothing to do with China, and most of the Chinese competitors had already been eliminated.

After 0:00 that night, the third day of the competition officially ended, and the results of the Chinese delegation became: 14 golds, 4 silvers and 2 bronzes, still firmly in the top position.

The Chinese team won a total of four gold medals on the third day of competition, which is still one more than the United States, but two fewer than the previous day's six gold medals.

Now the bad news is that the output of the shooting team and weightlifting team is coming to an end, and the number of players eliminated by the Chinese delegation in the first three days is actually not a small number, and many of them have not even made it to the finals, but these numbers are overshadowed by the glory of the Chinese delegation's gold medal list.

But the good news is that Shen Lang will have two finals tomorrow, and the newly released "Prince of Swimming" is likely to continue to perform miracles if nothing else.

In addition, China's gymnastics program is about to start withdrawing gold, and they have the opportunity to maintain this rhythm of three or four gold medals a day.

Three hours later, it was 3 a.m. Los Angeles time and 11 a.m. British time.

The British "Independent" and "Daily Mirror", as well as "World Football" magazine, in a new weekly published today, have broken a powerful inside information: Chelsea Football Club has been in contact with Wu Jie's agent, and the alien, who is competing in the Olympics in Los Angeles, may choose to jump out of his contract early, leave Bayern Munich and then parachute into London.

This is not the first time that the European media has revealed Wu Jie's whereabouts, a few days ago the "Daily Telegraph" and a number of tabloids exposed that Wu Jie and Bayern failed to reach an agreement on contract renewal, and the alien is likely to leave Germany after four seasons with Bayern.

This time, several newspapers and magazines broke the news again, which seems to prove that this news is indeed not groundless.

The Munich media also began to report on Wu Jie's possible exit from the contract a week ago, because Bayern did not go well in negotiations with Wu Jie's agent team.

Bayern fans are naturally upset by these increasingly bad rumours, and there is no need for anyone to explain what Wu Jie means to this team.

Now outside Wu Jie's residence in Munich, there have begun to be fans pulling banners to stay, and what is written on it is enough to make anyone deeply moved, and they are really worried about Wu Jie leaving this team.

Wu Jie naturally didn't watch this kind of news, he knew that if he was soft-hearted at this time, he really couldn't go.

The reason why several media reports made Bayern fans uneasy this time was mainly because they discussed with the lawyer about the feasibility of Wu Jie jumping out of the contract and whether he violated the current transfer regulations.

The answers given by several different lawyers made Bayern fans very worried, because without considering the unspoken rules, Wu Jie could jump out of the contract and join any team at will.

This is where we come to discuss the transfer rules of European football in the 80s, as we all know, before the Boseman Act, even if a player's contract expired, other clubs had to pay a transfer fee to the player's original club to recruit him.

If the original club does not release him and directly proposes a sky-high transfer fee, then the player will not be able to leave.

This has led to teams being able to restrict player transfers or even deliberately cut player wages.

Anyway, if I don't let you go, you won't be able to leave, then I will exploit you, and you will not be able to resist.

Of course, this tactic can only be used against ordinary players.

If you can't use this kind of despicable means to treat the star, at most, you will not let you go, but you will be given a salary increase and a higher salary.

So will there be an example of a star whose contract expires who is unwilling to play in the original team, even if the team does not let go, he must leave?

Of course, this is there, but they basically choose to play abroad, because domestic clubs will not break this unspoken rule that everyone is abiding by for a player, otherwise they will be collectively ostracized.

In addition, even if a club accepts such a player, the original team will definitely complain to the national football association and UEFA, and it is likely to suffer double punishment from the national football association and UEFA.

So if Wu Jie wants to have such a contract, then it will be very troublesome to want to transfer after the contract expires.

Of course, if Wu Jie wants to leave, he will definitely not be afraid of these troubles.

Even if the giants of Europe risk being punished by UEFA, they will definitely go all out to snatch him, and no one will abide by any unspoken rules at this time.

But if you are really banned by UEFA for a year or two and can't participate in the Champions League, it will hurt too, right?

Wu Jie had been prepared for this for a long time, and his contract was different from the beginning, as he used an "early jump" clause instead of a transfer after the contract expired.

This "early exit" clause is equivalent to directly terminating all employment relationships with the original team, so it naturally avoids all kinds of problems arising from the "expiration of the contract".

Surely, that sounds a bit like a play on words?

But such words in the hands of barristers are enough to prevent Bayern from even getting the transfer fee.

Of course, Wu Jie will not provoke hatred so much, so the transfer fee must still be taken out by the new owner, and it must also match his value.

In addition, Wu Jie is definitely going to a weak team in the English League, even if Bayern wants to complain to UEFA, but this will annoy Bayern's almost invincible UEFA in the European arena, and he must be happy to see Bayern lose this core, and even more happy to see Wu Jie unable to play in the Champions League in a year or two.

Bayern had a hard time last season, but they were already getting better at the end of the season.

Besides, with Wu Jie, the king of the ball, as the core, as long as Bayern buys him a few helpers in the transfer period, Bayern is likely to become the invincible European hegemon again next season.

But they have been invincible for almost four years, and all of Europe is aesthetically fatigued.

If they continue to be invincible, this is no different from monopoly, UEFA actually wishes that Wu Jie would leave Bayern as soon as possible!

Now that Wu Jie is not going to a giant, but to a team that has not qualified for the Champions League, UEFA will inevitably turn a blind eye, and even find a way to give the green light to promote this matter.

At the moment, Wu Jie is being linked to the scandal by Chelsea, a London side that is at a low point and even had to sell their Stamford Bridge stadium five years ago because of debt in favor of renting Fulham's home stadium, and even the charity used to raise funds is losing money.

This impoverished team simply can't be sold, and whoever buys it will have to pay millions of pounds in debt, as well as a headache mess.

To be honest, Bayern fans don't really believe that Wu Jie will go to such a team, not to mention that Chelsea has long been relegated, and only returned to League One last season, and I don't know if it can be relegated in the new season.

Wu Jie has also been having an affair with Barcelona a few years ago, but it is obvious that the "alien" can't even look down on this kind of top team with stupid people and a lot of money, will he go to such a bad team?

This will be Chelsea's new owner Bates is also full of question marks, they are now unable to even steal the best players in the UK, and all the new stars who are a little talented are not willing to come to play with them, will Wu Jie take a look at them a little?

He was right, Wu Jie really wouldn't look at Chelsea.

In fact, a look at the major shareholders of these newspapers and magazines will know what is going on, and many of them are news media controlled by the Hawke family.

Three months ago, the Hawke family became the majority shareholder of Arsenal.

Isabella's surname is Hawke, and her family fought confectioner David Dunn for control of Arsenal six months ago.

Now it is clear that the Holden family, which has more background and financial resources, has won.

At this time, Arsenal's largest shareholders were none other than the Hawke family, who held 90.21% of the team's shares.

David Dunn owns about 5% of the shares, with the rest being held by fan groups and retail fans.

Isabella is ready to take Arsenal private completely, but David Dunn does not want to sell his shares, and neither are Arsenal's fan groups and retail investors.

Recently, several Arsenal supporters' groups have been calling on all fans to wear black shirts and wave black flags in the stands for the new season, as this represents everything that is happening at the club today.

What infuriates Isabella the most is that some fan groups have also called for refusal to buy season tickets and club products, or even to use any of the club's sponsors, and explained why they are doing so.

Wu Jie thinks that these people don't know why they oppose it at all, and now there is no Google to let them check what the "EU" is after Brexit, and most people don't know what the pros and cons of privatization of the team they support are, but no matter what, as long as they oppose it, it's right.

However, no matter how happy these fools are, Isabella will complete her takeover, and the Holden family's process of privatising Arsenal will not be able to resist.

According to the UK takeovers law, if the acquirer wants to forcibly acquire all the shares of the company, the premise is that it must take 90% of all the fractional shares on the day the acquisition plan is announced.

Now that the Hawke family already owns more than 90% of Arsenal, anyone who rejects her offer or raises legal challenges is really just a token of resistance.

On the other hand, even if the club's "minority shareholders" survive, they would not have any real benefit, because legally speaking, the only rights they have now are "right to know" about the club's finances and "right to attend" the annual general meeting.

The Hawke family has previously said that they will no longer pay dividends to minority shareholders, and the remaining fractional shares have become a pile of waste paper, and these minority shareholders and retail investors will not receive any benefits regardless of whether Arsenal is profitable in the future.

This kind of hard-line approach is probably where some small shareholders and retail investors are dissatisfied, because Isabella does not negotiate with them at all.

Wu Jie felt that it was easiest to buy Chelsea two years ago, when Chelsea offered only one pound, although he had to take on millions of pounds of debt after the acquisition.

But now it took Isabella more than half a year, more than 6 million pounds before and after to buy 90% of the team's shares, and also has to accept more than 1 million pounds of debt, it still seems too time-consuming and laborious, and it is also a little more expensive!

Isabella knows that this business is a sure success, and now she has not released the news of Wu Jie's imminent arrival, otherwise the next various sponsorship and broadcast fees will be at least several times higher, and the sales of various peripheral goods will inevitably skyrocket countless times.

Eighty percent of the fans who will shout about refusing to buy a season ticket will shout "what a good smell" and then run to line up overnight to snap up a season ticket.

In fact, there are several first-division teams in London, and it is much less difficult to acquire them than Arsenal.

But Arsenal is good because most of the sponsorship contracts are about to expire, coupled with the fact that the team is clustered, the location is in the rich area, and the fans have stronger spending power, so it is more cost-effective to buy Arsenal.

The price of £6,000,000 + £1,000,000 looks like a loss now, but it won't take a few years to recoup it with interest.

Isabella was even thinking about taking out a loan to build a new stadium, because even in the era when standing tickets could be bought, the "Highbury Stadium" could accommodate more than 40,000 people.

The current Arsenal is not even a top team, at best a pseudo-strong team in League One, with an acceptable capacity of more than 40,000 people.

But if aliens come, referring to Bayern's 100,000 home stadiums that are full, the small stadium of Highbury is equivalent to doubling the income per game, or even more.

Wu Jie doesn't care about this kind of thing, because he won't stay at Arsenal for more than five years, and eighty percent of them won't be able to experience a new stadium.

It is impossible for him to spend four or five years slowly bringing a team up like he did in cultivating the Chinese team.

So he needs to ask Isabella to help him buy some helpers, and these transfers must be done before the news of his transfer is exposed, otherwise the other party is likely not to sell, and even if he sells, the price will be from the ground.

At this moment, he has written a list for Isabella, as long as he can buy three or four people in the above order, he is sure to lead Arsenal to the League One title this season!
