Hong Kong was the first to develop football in Asia.

The British brought football to Hong Kong, and in the first few decades, the Chinese were not allowed to participate in football, until the establishment of the Chinese football team in 1908, and the Chinese football in Hong Kong was born.

In 1910, the Chinese football team was renamed the South China Football Team, in 1916, the South China Football Team joined the Hong Kong Football Association, in 1918, the South China Football Team joined the Hong Kong Second Division Football League, and in 1919, the South China Football Team joined the Hong Kong First Division Football League and began to play against the British team.

In the early twenties, at the age of 17, Li Huitang was selected into the South China football team as a striker, and then opened the first golden age of the South China football team. The year-old Li Huitang represented the Chinese team in the 6th National Games and helped the Chinese team win the championship. He then visited Australia with the South China team, and then defeated the Australian champions New South Wales, in which Lee Wai Tong scored three goals. At this time, the South China football team was already one of the strongest teams in Asia.

……

At The Peninsula Hong Kong, Chen Qiang is attending a dinner party, where many celebrities and gentlemen in Hong Kong have come.

In the midst of the staggering, a young man walked up to Chen Qiang.

"Mr. Chen, hello, my name is Luo Guixiang." The other party introduced himself.

"I remember you, you were with Boss Yu." Chen Qiang said.

"Yes, I'm Boss Yu's secretary." Luo Guixiang replied.

The name of the boss Yu in the mouth of the two is Yu Dongxuan, who is a famous industrialist, a rubber king in Malaysia, and his business is all over Southeast Asia. The start-up capital for Uncle Shao Liu's movie was invested by this Boss Yu.

After learning the identity of the other party, Chen Qiang asked, "I don't know what Boss Yu is looking for me?" ”

"Mr. Chen, it wasn't Boss Yu who asked me to come, it's me who personally wants to ask you something." Luo Guixiang opened his mouth and said.

"Please." Chen Qiang responded.

"Mr. Chen, as an athlete, you definitely need a lot of nutrients, I want to know how you usually supplement your body's nutrition?" Luo Guixiang asked.

"Of course, supplementing nutrition depends on diet." Chen Qiang replied with a smile.

In this era, there are not so many health care products that supplement nutrition, and athletes supplement protein, vitamins, trace elements, etc., all by themselves.

"Mr. Chen, do you mean eating more meat?" Luo Guixiang then asked.

Chen Qiang shook his head: "Not only meat products, but also eggs and vegetables, the nutritional intake should be balanced and comprehensive." ”

"What about soy products?" Luo Guixiang continued: "I want to know, can soy products replace meat? It is impossible for ordinary people to eat meat every day. ”

Chen Qiang thought for a while and said: "Soy products are a good source of protein, but vegetable protein and animal protein are different after all. ”

"What about ordinary people? Ordinary people do not have such strict requirements for physical fitness, can eating soy products replace eating meat? Luo Guixiang then asked.

"But from the perspective of protein intake, soy products can provide sufficient protein, but other trace elements contained in meat cannot be supplemented by soy products alone." Chen Qiang looked at Luo Guixiang with interest, and then asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"Two years ago, there was a flood, many refugees came to Hong Kong from Guangzhou, at that time I also participated in the relief of refugees, many of the refugees because of malnutrition and beriberi, and then we heard that soy products can supplement nutrition, so we were purchased a batch of soybeans, ground into soy milk, to supplement nutrition for refugees, many refugees suffering from beriberi have recovered. There are many malnourished people among us Chinese, so I was thinking at the time if we could use soy milk to supplement our Chinese nutrition. Luo Guixiang said.

Chen Qiang nodded: "Soy milk is indeed a good thing, rich in nutrients, and the price is not expensive, it can be described as the milk of the poor." ”

"Yes, poor man's milk! I just want to produce cheap soy milk on a large scale and sell it to thousands of households like milk! We ordinary people can't afford to drink milk, and we can't afford to drink it! I've got a name in mind, and it's called 'Vitasoy'! Luo Guixiang said with great interest.

"Vitasoy!" Chen Qiang was shocked in his heart.

The name "Vitasoy" is really so loud that it is a household name in Hong Kong, and it is no exaggeration to say that several generations of Hong Kong people have grown up drinking Vitasoy.

"This name shouldn't be a coincidence, right? I remember that Vitasoy in Hong Kong has a history of more than 70 years, and it happened to be born in the thirties. Thinking of this, Chen Qiang couldn't help but look at Luo Guixiang curiously.

Luo Guixiang introduced himself: "I plan to put the soy milk in a glass bottle like selling milk, and then hire a group of salespeople to deliver it door-to-door, so that the people can drink fresh soy milk every day." ”

"Have you ever thought that in this case, the soy milk you produce must be drunk today, otherwise it will spoil. In this Hong Kong weather, soy milk can't be left for too long. Chen Qiang said.

"Well...... this" Luo Guixiang looked embarrassed, obviously not taking this into account.

In fact, in the early days, Vitasoy did not use sterilization technology, and it was sold on the same day of production, because it could not be stored, so the sales volume was only 1,000 bottles per day.

Chen Qiang then reminded: "I think if you want to do this business, you have to introduce a disinfection technology, even if it is not pasteurization, it must be high-temperature disinfection." In terms of packaging, the flared glass bottles for milk are not as good as the glass bottles that carry soda. Coca-Cola, you know, right? I'm talking about that kind of glass bottle. ”

……

Luo Guixiang got a lot of advice from Chen Qiang and left happily.

"I don't know if the next time I come to Hong Kong, I'll be able to see Vitasoy in the market." Chen Qiang said to himself.

Chen Qiang was still thinking about whether to invest a little in Luo Guixiang, after all, with the name of "Vitasoy", it was worth investing a sum of money.

But after thinking about it carefully, Chen Qiang felt that it was better to forget it. After all, during World War II, the Japanese army occupied Hong Kong for three years and eight months, during which time it caused great damage to Hong Kong's economy, and a large amount of Hong Kong's wealth was also plundered by the Japanese army.

Chen Qiang stayed in Hong Kong for more than half a month, and when he returned to Tianjin, 1935 was coming to an end.

……

On December 18, Chen Qiang's train arrived in Tianjin.

The streets of Tianjin were filled with tension.

"Stop the civil war!"

"Down with Japan!"

"Down with the traitor Yin Rugeng!"

"Oppose the southward transfer of the army!"

"Oppose the establishment of the Jicha Political Affairs Committee!"

Countless students held signs and flags of self-government and shouted in the streets.

On this day, students in Tianjin took to the streets to march and show their support for the "129" movement in Beiping.

As soon as Chen Qiang got off the train, he threw himself into the march of students.

With the establishment of the Jicha Political Affairs Committee, the North China Incident directed by the Japanese took another substantial step, and the wolf ambitions of the Japanese were also clearly exposed.

It was also on this day that news came from Sydney, Australia, that Australian triple jumper Jack Metcalfe jumped 15.78 meters in a competition, breaking the triple jump world record of 15.76 meters held by Chen Qiang!

After Owens broke Chen Qiang's long jump world record, only half a year later, the title of triple jump world record holder also left Chen Qiang.

……

Tokyo, Japan.

Nanbu Tadahei, Naoto Tajima, Mikio Oda, and others gathered to discuss what was in the newspaper.

"Southern senior, who the hell is this Jack Metcalfe? He was able to break the world record in the triple jump! Naoto Tajima asked curiously.

Nanfang Zhongping shook his head: "This is an Australian athlete, I haven't fought with him, and I don't know him very well." ”

Mikio Oda, who was next to him, said: "Not long ago, I remember that the newspaper said that an American athlete broke the world record in the long jump, and now only half a year has passed, and the world record in the triple jump has been broken again. ”

"yes, we'll have to work harder, too." Nanfang Zhongping nodded, and then said: "I thought that in the next Olympic Games, the opponent we faced was only that China's Chen Qiang, but I didn't expect that in addition to Chen Qiang, we would have more powerful opponents!" ”

"That's right, Chen Qiang created five world records in the last Olympic Games, now two world records have been broken, one world record has been equalized, in just a few months, Chen Qiang has lost three world records, maybe by the time the Olympics come, Chen Qiang holds the world record, there is no one left!" Naoto Tajima said with great interest.

Nanfang Zhongping clenched his fists and said in a high-spirited manner: "Obviously, this shows that Chen Qiang is not invincible!" Since European and American ghost animals can break Chen Qiang's world record, we can do it too! Now that there is still more than half a year before the Olympic Games, we need to step up our training and regain the glory of Japanese athletics at the Berlin Olympics! We're going to get the triple jump gold medal back! ”

Owens and Metcalfe broke the world record held by Chen Qiang one after another, giving the Japanese athlete the confidence to defeat Chen Qiang.

……

Tianjin, Zhang Boling's home.

Zhang Boling sandwiched a piece of braised pork for Chen Qiang, and said with a doting face: "Chen Qiang, the Olympic Games will be held again next year, so in the next few months, you don't have to do anything else, and train steadily." At the Berlin Olympics, I don't ask you to win five more gold medals and break five more world records, but at least you have to keep two or three gold medals for us Chinese! ”

"Sir, you underestimate me too much! I still want to make some breakthroughs on the original basis. Chen Qiang said.

"It's good for young people to be ambitious, but don't be arrogant, let alone underestimate the heroes of the world!" Zhang Boling said with a serious face: "I have heard that there is an athlete named Owens in the United States who broke 5 world records in 45 minutes, one of which is the long jump, and he also equaled your 100-meter sprint world record, this person's strength may not be inferior to you." There is also an Australian who just broke the world record in the triple jump two days ago. I think these foreign athletes are even better than they were three years ago. ”

"Don't worry, sir, foreign athletes have become stronger, but I have also become stronger! When I was in Los Angeles, I was only eighteen, and now I'm twenty-two, and I'm much stronger than I was then. Chen Qiang said, making a muscle-flexing movement.

"In short, don't underestimate the enemy." Zhang Boling then persuaded.

Chen Qiang asked: "Sir, how to solve the expenses for going to Germany to compete this time?" I don't have to raise it myself! ”

In Chen Qiang's memory, the Berlin Olympics were funded by the Nanjing government, so Chen Qiang did not have to go around to raise donations like he did in Los Angeles. Of course, if Nanjing is unwilling to pay money, Chen Qiang does not need to raise donations this time, his savings in the past three years are enough for him to buy a ticket to Europe.

Zhang Boling said: "Nanjing attaches great importance to this Olympic Games, especially after you have achieved good results in the Los Angeles Olympic Games, Nanjing has decided to send athletes to participate in the next Berlin Olympic Games. In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, the Ministry of Education entrusted the National Sports Association to begin preparations for the Berlin Olympic Games, and in the middle of last month, the Sports Association submitted a budget to the Executive Yuan through the Ministry of Education. I have a copy here, I'll show you it. ”

Zhang Boling stood up as she spoke, returned to the study, took out a stack of manuscript paper and handed it to Chen Qiang, which was the budget for participating in the Berlin Olympics drawn up by the National Sports Association in November.

Chen Qiang looked at the budget figures, if you want to go to Berlin, you have to take a boat from Shanghai to Venice, Italy, and the ticket price is 32 pounds, which is about 520 yuan in legal currency. Chen Qiang calculated the itinerary and knew that this should be the price of the second class.

From Venice to Berlin, you have to take the train, the price is 866 Italian lira, about 230 legal currency, and it should be second class from the price point of view.

In addition, Italy charges a baggage tax per pound, plus a tip to be given on board the car, which is about 250 yuan in legal currency.

During my stay in Germany, the cost of food was 6 marks, and for four weeks, it was 168 marks, which is about 200 fiat dollars.

In addition, there are clothing fees, training fees, transportation expenses, accommodation and food expenses for the contestants in China, and the cost of holding tryouts.

"It's a lot cheaper than me going to the United States." Chen Qiang said.

"Of course, the distance to Europe is much closer, and this is only a preliminary budget, and the price has not yet been negotiated on the Italian steamship company." Zhang Boling opened his mouth and said.

"Before the price is negotiated, I dare to report this budget to the Executive Yuan, in case the price of the ferry ticket increases, won't the funds be enough?" Chen Qiang asked.

"Let's get the money down first!" Zhang Boling said indifferently: "This year, it is not easy to get money from the Executive Yuan, we will first make a budget, let the Executive Yuan approve the money, if it is not enough, you can ask the Executive Yuan to add it, if they don't give it, it is a big deal to raise donations, and we can always make up enough funds for the competition." ”

Chen Qiang nodded to show his understanding, the sooner you get the funds, the better.

"Is the Executive Yuan willing to approve this participation fund?" Chen Qiang then asked.

"On November 25, the 239th meeting of the Executive Yuan decided to approve the preliminaries for participating in the Olympic Games, which will be paid for next year's second budget. Dean Wang has also promised that he will not be in arrears. Zhang Boling replied confidently.

……

In order to prepare for the Olympic Games, Chen Qiang entered the crazy training, even on Chinese New Year's Eve and Spring Festival, Chen Qiang did not relax, and came to the playground of Nankai University early to start training.

The Chinese Sports Association has also been making preparations for participating in the Olympic Games, such as selecting members of the delegation and planning the selection competitions for various events.

At the beginning of March, however, there was bad news from Europe.

On 7 March, the Germans crossed the Rhine with three forces, while the French, with 100 divisions, did not respond militarily.

According to the "Treaty of Versailles", although the Rhine area was the territory of the Germans, it did not allow German troops to be stationed, so this action of the German army was tantamount to tearing up the "Versailles Treaty".

Militarily, France has not acted, but politically and diplomatically, France has reacted fiercely, with various protests and condemnations, and at the same time expressed a boycott of the Berlin Olympics in August.

All of a sudden, Western responders, especially those neighboring Germany, said they would boycott the Berlin Olympics and see that the Berlin Olympics were about to fail.

After getting the news in China, President Wang of the Executive Yuan directly turned his face and denied anyone, and the previous promise of "no arrears" was also left behind, and only 30,000 yuan was given for the cost of holding the selection competition, and the rest was not given.

Chinese road to the Olympics is once again full of thorns......
