Chapter 553: Settle down
On the morning of July 23, the outdoor track and field field in the National Training General Administration.
"Pick it up!"
Amid the sound of fast footsteps, a soft shout suddenly sounded on the runway.
In the two fast-running figures in front of and behind, the baton was successfully handed over.
Gu Kai, who was running in front, had his hair flying, the muscles of his whole body applauded, and the whole person was like a galloping cheetah, quickly running towards Ye Qin, who was the fourth stick in front.
Ye Qin's body arched forward, one hand was perpendicular to the starting line, and he made a squatting starting action, and when Gu Kai entered the position of calculating the step point, he suddenly started to accelerate and began to run forward.
After the start accelerated, Ye Qin soon got the baton from Gu Kai's hand, and then sprinted towards the finish line at full speed.
"38.23 seconds!"
On the on-site timing board, the results of this group of men's 4×100m relay appeared.
After crossing the finish line, Ye Qin took a long breath as he looked at the results on the timing board.
Soon, several other people from various sticks also came over.
The four players in this group of tests just now are, Su Bingtian, Zhang Peimeng, Gu Kai and Ye Qin.
After Yang Yao faded out of the national team, the current lineup in the national team is mainly the third-rated Gu Kai who replaced the previous Yang Yao.
"Not bad.
Not far away, Yuan Guohua walked over, looked at the test results of this group of relays, and nodded to a few people.
"Xiao Su and Pei Meng have made great progress this year."
Ye Qin calmed his breath, looked at Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng, and turned to Yuan Guohua and said, "I didn't run particularly well in this group just now, if you prepare carefully, you can be more prominent during the competition." ”
"Well, you've just been around Europe for a while, and you haven't adjusted back to China." Yuan Guohua nodded, knowing that Ye Qin was telling the truth.
The fourth-class runner in this group, Yechin, was better than the first-class sprinters, but still inferior to his own best.
"By the way, Director Yuan, the young man Xie Zheng I told you, have you seen his information?" Ye Qin gently moved the tense muscles in his legs on the runway, and said to Yuan Guohua.
"That kid named Xie Zheng, I read the information, and the results are really good, but for the time being, his coach refuses to let go." Yuan Guohua nodded and replied.
"Refuse to let go?" Ye Qin asked with some puzzlement.
"Well, this kid is now in a high-speed growth stage, and his coach is a retired coach from Jiangnan Province, and he wants to take advantage of the time to teach him for another year." Yuan Guohua smiled and continued to answer.
The relationship between the national team and the professional team is inextricably linked in many cases, and before the national team did not adopt the training method of relaying individual events, basically the athletes trained in their respective local teams in normal times.
When there is a major event, it begins to gather outstanding players from all over the country to the national team for training. Then, in the training camp, athletes with excellent performance and condition are selected to compete.
Now, it is the elite athletes who train in the national team, mainly in the relay, and then lead the individual events. Of course, some athletes are still in the local team, such as Lu Bin, Guo Fan and other outstanding domestic sprinters, but before the start of the competition, they will enter the national team for training.
Xie Zheng's current coach is reluctant to let people go, although the national team really wants it, it can still be done. However, it is not beautiful for athletes and coaches of local teams.
Ye Qin just thinks that this teenager is very talented, but he did not enter the national team this year, and with the results shown by the other party, it is expected that he will probably enter this threshold next year and the year after.
"At this year's World Championships, the competition between the United States and Jamaica in the relay will probably be a very good show."
Without continuing to talk about the previous topic, Yuan Guohua mentioned the matter of this year's World Championships.
"The U.S. team shouldn't make another mistake, right?" After Zhang Peimeng next to him heard it, he couldn't help but complain.
The U.S. team's men's 4×100m event was once a dominant event, but since the unexpected loss at the 2004 Athens Olympics, it has also performed normally at the 07 World Championships in Osaka in recent years, and other performances have not been satisfactory.
"Even if the U.S. team comes up with the best lineup, it's going to be very difficult to really beat Jamaica." Ye Qin added a sentence next to him.
The current Jamaican men's 4×100m relay team is almost the strongest on the planet, with two of the world's top sprinters, Yusse Bot and Asafavil, and the other two are under 10 seconds, unless Jamaica makes a mistake of their own, the rest of the world will have to aim for second and third place.
And Ye Qin knows that the follow-up talent of the Jamaican team is also good, in several Golden League games in Europe, the young player named Yuhan Blake, who should be about the same age as Su Bingtian, has already run under 10 seconds in several consecutive games.
If this player can grow up in the future, there really is no team on the planet that can match it at the moment.
"Alright, let's not talk about that!"
Yuan Guohua listened to a few people talking about this next to him, and then shook his head.
The Chinese team has made rapid progress in the relay event, and has been able to enter the top three and top five in international competitions, but he knows very well that the most critical point here is still the fourth stick Ye Qin escorting.
Otherwise, with the performance of the Chinese men's 4×100m relay team, at present, it may enter the final at most, or even the final.
But with Ye Chin's Chinese 4×100m relay team, the strength has directly risen a notch, and even the Japanese team needs to avoid one end in Asia.
At the same time, having such the world's top players in the team has a very obvious effect on other athletes.
Especially those who are about the same age as Ye Chin, or younger than Ye Chin, can make them feel that kind of strong pressure.
Over the past year, Su Bingtian has been able to run steadily within 10.30 seconds, and Zhang Peimeng is basically at the level of about 10.20 seconds, which is the progress brought about by Ye Qin's facilitation.
After the morning training, Ye Qin took a shower in the locker room of the General Training Bureau, and after changing his clothes, he did not continue to stay in the General Training Bureau, but drove to Mizuki University.
It's dog days now, and everyone can barely bear the training in the morning, and in the afternoon, if you want to start training, you basically have to put it in the evening and evening.
During Ye Qin's winter training last year, while winter training, he also spent more than a month learning to drive, and he has been endorsing car brands for so long, but he has never driven by himself.
The car is still sponsored by Volkswagen, but not the previous Passat, but the Touareg. With his current net worth, there is actually no big problem with changing to a better car, but Ye Qin actually has very little time to use the car himself.
Or that there were very few in the past, but now, there is gradually a lot of room for maneuver.
Entering the dormitory of Shuimu University, downstairs in the women's dormitory, Ye Qin dialed the phone, and soon Chen Zixi, who was wearing a light green dress and a sunhat, ran out of it.
"Wow, it's really hot!"
As soon as he got in the car, Chen Zixi stuck out his little tongue and shouted again and again. Feeling the real cool breeze of the air conditioner in the car, I squinted my eyes slightly.
Ye Qin restarted the engine, but took advantage of this gap to suddenly turn his head and kiss Chen Zixi on the face.
"Ah, what are you doing!"
Chen Zixi was instantly awakened by Ye Qin's movements, stretched out his hand and pushed him away, and turned to look at the outside of the car.
Fortunately, it is almost summer vacation now, and there are not many people downstairs in the school's dormitory, so I looked left and right to see that there was no one, but I suddenly got up from the co-pilot, leaned out and kissed Ye Qin back.
"That's fair!"
"Hurry up and sit down!"
Ye Qin had just started the car, and suddenly became a little nervous, and hurriedly stepped on the brakes to let Chen Zixi sit in his position.
"Hee-hee!"
Chen Zixi chuckled, but he didn't continue to fight, An An sat down on the chair and fastened his seat belt.
Ye Qin took this opportunity to take out a small box from the back seat, handed it to Chen Zixi and said, "This is a gift for you!" ”
"Gifts?" Chen Zixi glanced at Ye Qin with some suspicion, "You know how to buy gifts with black charcoal?" ”
"Didn't I buy it before?" Ye Qin replied with a smile as he drove.
Chen Zixi couldn't help but smile and shook her head, in the past few years, Ye Qin has gone abroad to compete, in fact, he has brought a lot of gifts to her and her parents and sisters at home.
But Ye Qin's aesthetics are really not flattering, basically a lot of things he bought are ...... in the eyes of her and Chen Ziyuan Well...... It's ugly.
However, his father liked some belts, wallets and other gifts that Ye Qin brought back.
Later, with the busyness of Ye Qin's competition and the continuous rise of his net worth, the gifts he bought were much better, because they basically belonged to the ranks of luxury goods, cosmetics, bags, some trinkets and the like, the prices were very valuable, and many things Chen Zixi didn't dare to take out at school. Just because Ye Qin often gave her and her family gifts, her mother and her sister saw it, and they couldn't wait for her to get married immediately.
Chen Zixi sat in the passenger seat, looked at Ye Qin, and had a bright smile on her face, in fact, no matter what Ye Qin gave her, as long as she brought her a gift, she was happy in her heart.
Quickly unpacked the bag, and quickly took out a white box from it, looking at the box, Chen Zixi was slightly stunned, and then said: "Mobile phone? ”
"Well, the phone." Ye Qin nodded, "The new Apple 3GS released on June 9th, it seems that there are not many people in China who use it now, I feel quite novel." ”
Saying that, Ye Qin took out his mobile phone and shook it, this is what he bought when he was in Europe, it was very good to look at this mobile phone at that time, and it felt completely different from the mobile phones he used before, he directly bought several and brought them back to China as a gift.
"It's beautiful."
After Chen Zixi opened it, he took out the Apple 3 from it, and a small star appeared in his eyes. As for what Ye Qin gave her, the price is not particularly critical now, the main thing is whether she likes it or not.
She had also heard that there seemed to be a revolutionary mobile phone product in the United States, which was the Apple 3, which supports 3G network and many very good features.
At this point in time, the domestic Apple mobile phone has just entered the market, and the consumer group is still relatively small, but the revolution of smart phones has begun to take shape, and it is rapidly occupying the market and setting off an industrial revolution.
The car left Shuimu University, and after forty or fifty minutes, the two gradually came to the vicinity of Beidachizi Street in the old town of Yanjing.
At the gate of a courtyard, Ye Qin and Chen Zixi got out of the car, and soon a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt and trousers greeted them at the door.
"Ye Chin, hello, hello!"
The middle-aged man shook hands with Ye Qin warmly, and then introduced himself, "I am Chu Lianyou of Huijia Real Estate Agency, I really didn't expect you to contact our company, I can't believe it, you are the pride of our country." ”
"Mr. Chu, you're polite!"
Ye Qin greeted the other party very politely, and then gestured to Chen Zixi beside him, "This is my girlfriend." ”
"Two good, two good, it's too hot, please come inside!" Chu Lianyou greeted the two, got out of the way, and asked the two to walk into the courtyard.
As soon as I entered the door, the air outside was still blazing hot, and it seemed to be much cooler in an instant.
Above the courtyard, there are a lot of lush vegetation growing, and although it looks a little old from the outside, the interior decoration design does not look old.
"This is the house you like?"
After Chen Zixi entered the courtyard, a pair of bright eyes constantly looked at the surrounding pattern and flowers and plants, and turned his head to Ye Qin from time to time to ask.
"I still miss the small yard at home before, so I want to find a similar one."
Ye Qin looked around the courtyard with a look of remembrance in his eyes.
The yard under the wooden tree in his hometown was the greatest joy of his childhood, but since high school, he has rarely returned.
He spends a lot of time in Yanjing now, and has always wanted a similar living environment that can allow him to get rid of some disturbances and get a little quiet.
Moreover, in such an environment, if grandparents are willing to come and live for a while, they will be more comfortable.
"Mr. Ye is right, if nothing else is said here, it is relatively quiet, and the transportation is also convenient, if you live by yourself, it is a very good choice."
Regarding Ye Qin's origin, basically you can understand it if you have a little heart in China now, and Chu Lianyou obviously knows that Ye Qin may have a little bit of such independent courtyard feelings.
Although the north and south are different in all aspects, living courtyards in the north are common, while in the south because of the terrain, most people's houses are built in a two- or three-story villa model after renovation, and there are not many people who really have a yard.
"It's expensive, isn't it?"
Chen Zixi walked around a little, and she could see that she was quite satisfied, she and Ye Qin had the same childhood growth experience, and they still yearn for this kind of quiet life.
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive." Chu Lianyou hurriedly smiled and said, "This set of yards is of good quality and cheap in the same level, 53.2 million, and the owner will give away all the furniture." Now it's not easy to sell a yard like this, and many people refuse to sell it at a high price. ”
"More than 50 million?" Chen Zixi's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but be speechless.
"It's a fair price." Ye Qin smiled beside him, reached out and rubbed her hair, "I'm afraid I don't have the money to buy it?" ”
Since last year, Ye Qin has learned more about this aspect, Yanjing is the capital, and the housing prices are naturally needless to say, and the rise has been very fierce in recent years.
This set of yards is also one of the sets he entrusted the broker team to help him screen out, the price is another matter, he now mainly wants to see if the specific pattern is satisfied.
"I just think it's expensive."
Chen Zixi knew that Ye Qin was worth a lot of money now, but this amount was still a bit huge for her.
"It's nothing, you're going to have to pay for me in the future."
Ye Qin smiled, buying such a courtyard house was not a burden for him at all.
Since '06, Yechin's income has skyrocketed. And as Ye Qin became more and more strong in the international athletics arena, and after signing an agent contract with IMG, his income was almost like a rocket.
In 2008, Ye Qin's income was already the second highest among domestic sports stars, second only to Da Yao and slightly higher than Liu Yangyu.
But entering this year's 09 years, so far in July, Ye Qin's income has exceeded the previous 08 and 07 years combined, if he can win gold again at this year's World Championships, and defend his title in the men's 100m and 200m events, business will simply be further improved, and it is not a problem to enter the top five of the global sports star wealth list.
Ye Qin's concept of how much money he has now is actually a little unclear, and his current thoughts are mainly two, one is to invest in some real estate as much as possible, and then the other is to save it first, or entrust it to the new person to carry out some financial operations.
He's still at the peak of his career, at least five or six years to go in athletics, so those aspects need to be considered, but not the most important. With the money he earns now, he believes that he basically has enough to spend in this life.
"Do you still like it? If we stay in Yanjing in the future, we will live here. ”
Walking around the courtyard again, Ye Qin asked Chen Zixi.
Chen Zixi's face blushed slightly, "Why do you ask me, and it's not that I want to buy it?" ”
"So be it." Ye Qin smiled, he was not going to continue running around on a hot day.
Chu Lianyou next to him was so smiling that his eyes couldn't see it, such a large business was so neatly discussed, and the commission alone could make him a lot of money.
"I just have one request, don't leak the news."
Before parting, Ye Qin instructed Chu Lianyou again that as for other matters such as payment, Ye Qin would let his agent team handle it at that time, and he didn't need to come over again.
"Of course." Chu Lianyou nodded again and again.
After getting out of the courtyard and starting the car again, Ye Qin let out a slight breath, and suddenly had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
"I bought a courtyard house in Yanjing?"
Think about myself a few years ago when I couldn't even pay the tuition fees, and the same hot summer, riding a bicycle while crying and crying.
It all came back to life.
The prodigy poem says that poetry and books do not live up to people.
For Yechin, it was sport that changed his life.
Next to him, Chen Zixi also seemed to feel this inexplicable emotion in Ye Qin's heart, gently grabbed his hand, and looked up at Ye Qin's side face.
Just like that summer many years ago.
