It is now 9 a.m. on August 8, Chinese capital time, and the deadline for registration for the Triathlon Points Race in Sheffield, England is 18:00 GMT on August 10.

Taking into account the time difference, it will be 18:00 GMT on August 10, which is two o'clock in the morning on August 11 China time.

Duke has less than three days left to register for Sheffield, and if he doesn't make it to Sheffield, he will have to compete in Adelaide, Australia, on 28 October.

In the triathlon international points station, competitors from all over the world sign up for the competition in their individual names.

For Duke, it is best to compete as an individual, without alarming the country.

However, without the support of the state and the resource channels of the Federation, Du Ke tossed by himself, and he was very likely to not be able to catch up with the registration of Sheffield.

Passport, recent physical examination report, English version of the application application, these materials are easy to handle, passport and physical examination report Duke have ready-made, English application performance is OK.

The biggest problem is that Duke does not have international points for triathlon, he has never participated in any triathlon competition, and the points are 0.

The FIA registration rules are that you must have at least one international triathlon point to be allowed to compete in Sheffield and the following races.

The registration requirements for the Olympic triathlon events and triathlon World Championships are higher, and one international point is not enough to qualify for the Olympic Games and the World Championships.

The FIA holds 12 international points races every year, which is an opportunity for triathletes from all countries to brush up their points to participate in the Olympic Games and the World Championships.

Then someone asked, from scratch, from 0 to 1 point, Du Ke must have a chance to participate in some competition to brush up points, otherwise wouldn't it always be 0 points?

That's right, the normal process is that Duke needs to participate in the domestic triathlon competition (the official event held by the China Railway Association) first, brush up the domestic points, and divide the domestic points by 2 to get his international points.

The China Railway Association does not have high requirements for the registration of participating athletes, and does not require you to have any points, as long as you are healthy and have not suffered from any illness.

Triathlon is a niche sport in China, and most of the people who play triathlon are middle- and high-income earners, that is, the middle class, who are the main force of triathlon in China.

The middle class usually has to go to work, and in their spare time, they get together and pull teams to seek self-entertainment in the wild paradise with lakes and rivers, which is their main mode of activity.

There are very few full-time triathletes in China, probably as few as professional golfers.

Therefore, there are not many formal domestic events held by the China Railway Association, only three or five a year, and the latest domestic triathlon competition will be held on October 1, which is the South China Sea Island Triathlon Invitational Race.

Therefore, Duke is estimated to be unable to catch up with Sheffield, so he can only participate in the South China Sea Island Triathlon Invitational first, brush up domestic points, divide by 2 and convert them into international points, and then register for the Australian leg on October 28.

"Hey, two months wasted." Duke felt pity, "Unless...... Let my mom help me figure it out? ”

Du Ke picked up his mobile phone and was about to call his mother, but when he was about to dial his mother's number, he stopped abruptly, "It's not proper, you can't take the route of the Iron Association." ”

Du Ke originally wanted his mother to negotiate with China Railway through the internal relations of the sports system to see if the Railway Association could help get a wild card to send him to the UK to participate in the Sheffield competition. The China Railway Association is a full member of the International Iron Federation, and they must have a few wild card slots in their hands.

However, Du Ke quickly rejected his immature idea, such an operation is too quiet, why should the Iron Association help you get a wild card? Just because you're a world champion swimmer?

The Iron Association will definitely ask the Chinese Swimming Association or the Swimming Management Center as soon as possible, I heard that your Du Dashen is going to the United Kingdom to participate in the triathlon points race, do you know about this?

When Director Qin heard this, he designated the fryer, what? Is there such a thing? Pass me on the word, lock up Du Ke for me, confiscate his official passport, say hello to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, refuse to approve any of Du Ke's private passport visa applications, and not allow him to go abroad before the Asian Games next year. Don't let him take a vacation, just grab the national swimming training base in the capital, stay in the base, and train me to swim.

Of course, this situation is a bit exaggerated, but Director Qin definitely has a way to prevent Du Ke from participating in any ghost triathlon competition, it is so dangerous abroad, the international situation is so complicated, and there are often subway bombings in the UK. Attack, what are you Duke doing in England? What if you are kidnapped by KB elements? Leaders must consider security issues.

The most important thing is that we gave you Du Ke a month's vacation, so that you can accompany your family and have a good rest and recovery, you kid actually dare to betray the organization and the swimming world, what kind of triathlon are you going to do? Can you play triathlon? Think you can swim and play triathlon? What should I do if I get injured in a sport with a super high exercise load like triathlon? Lock it up, lock it up, say that Director Qin is unreasonable and doesn't talk about human rights, and I want to lock you up Du Ke......

According to what he knew about Director Qin, there was a 99.99% chance that Director Qin would do this and impose a ban on himself for the crime of traitor.

Moreover, the Iron Association will not say good things to him, because Du Ke has not made any excellent results in triathlon.

From this point of view, he is not expected to be able to participate in the domestic triathlon competition, and the international points races of the subsequent stations are far away.

For Duke, the new task released by the system [I am an iron man, I play triathlon] is not very difficult to complete, but how to participate in the competition.

But the rewards that can be obtained from this task are very rich, without these 150 reward points, the track and field project cannot be carried out!

Du Ke was so entangled, he opened his mind and racked his brains to come up with a feasible plan, but he couldn't think of a better way after thinking about it.

If you don't have a showdown with Director Qin directly, Boss Qin, I want to change the project, two months before the start of the Incheon Asian Games next year, I will switch back to the swimming program and resume swimming training to prepare for the Incheon Asian Games.

Boss Qin must still say the same thing: Lock me up, lock me up......

Only by leveraging his strength and obtaining the support of other project management centers can Du Ke negotiate with the swimming center.

In order to get the support of other project management centers, in fact, in the near future, it will be the field management center, and Du Ke must make enough convincing results in the track and field program.

This goes back to the issue of 150 task reward points, 150 reward points is a grade, which is the essential difference between the provincial team and the national team.

However, this task is difficult to complete, mainly because it is difficult to participate in the triathlon competition.

This seems like an endless cycle with no answers! Duke was puzzled.

At this time, Duke's mobile phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar number.

Duke answered the call: "Hey, hello. ”

The other party: "Hello Du Jianjiang, I am Zhang XX, the marketing director of 316 Degrees Sporting Goods Company, first of all, congratulations on your prestige at the World Swimming Championships, it is really exciting!" I was so excited that I didn't fall asleep for days. I personally admire you very much, our company also has great respect for Du Jianjiang, our company would like to invite Du Jianjiang to negotiate a win-win cooperation project, I don't know when you are free, do I have this honor to invite you to have a light meal......"

Du Ke: "Hello Mr. Zhang, for business cooperation matters, please contact the Nanyue Sports Bureau or the Sports Federation Swimming Management Center directly, and they will negotiate the business process with your company on my behalf." It's useless for you to talk to me, in the end, it is only legal and compliant to be decent and always stamp the contract, so that I can endorse your company's products. Thank you Mr. Zhang for your kindness, please contact our leaders. There's something else on my side, so let's do it first, bye-bye. After that, he hung up.

Du Ke has only returned to China for a day, and the merchant who is looking for his endorsement has called.

316 degrees is not a miscellaneous brand, they are a well-known domestic sporting goods company. There is money to be made, of course Du Ke does not refuse, but as he said just now, it is useless to talk to him at 316 degrees, and in the end, the leaders above have to agree. So he asked Mr. Zhang to go directly to the Provincial Sports Bureau or the swimming center, and let the merchants talk to the leaders.

And Duke now has important things to think about his career prospects, and is not in the mood to talk about money with those shrewd businessmen. But he was also very polite to Mr. Zhang, and politely asked Mr. Zhang to negotiate with the leaders of the sports system about his business endorsement.

As soon as I hung up, another phone call came: "Hello Du Jianjiang, I am Liu XX, the marketing director of Hulk Dairy Co., Ltd., first of all, congratulations to Du Jian on killing all sides at the World Championships...... We would like to ask you to negotiate a project ......"

Du Ke: "Hello Director Liu, thank you for your kindness, for business cooperation matters, please contact the Nanyue Sports Bureau or the Sports Federation Swimming Sports Management Center directly, I still have something to do here, bye." ”

Director Liu hurriedly shouted: "Don't hang up yet!" Give me another 30 seconds, and you'll be interested when I'm done. ”

Doucle: "Oh? OK, 30 seconds, please speak. ”

Director Liu said concisely: "Our company wants to ask you to endorse our products, and we will talk to you, not through the channels of the General Assembly." ”

Duke: "You're letting me take on a private job?" ”

Director Liu: "It's not a private job...... Market economy, everyone has the right to make their own choice, do you say yes? If you go through the total channel, you may only be able to get half of the endorsement fee at most. If you don't go through the total channel, you can take 100 percent. The part that is handed over to the general manager, let's redistribute, you take more, our company produces less, the win-win result, everyone does not suffer, I don't know what to do? ”

Doucle: "No, bye-bye. So he hung up and blacklisted Director Liu's number.

Taking private work to endorse a company that has never had any dealings, Du Ke does not do this kind of thing, once it is discovered by the leaders above, there will be endless troubles.

During the critical period of transferring the project, there must be no stain left, otherwise there will be no room for maneuver in the future.

The immediate interests and future prospects, which is more important, Du Ke is still measured.

Just blocked Director Liu, another strange call came.

Du Ke is annoyed, he wants to change his number, people are afraid of becoming famous, and as soon as he becomes famous, he will come to the door.

"Hey, hello, who's that?" Du Ke finally connected to the number, in case it is the kind of well-known business with sincerity and rules, then he can't refuse people, more money doesn't burn his hands, who doesn't want to make a few more?

The other party changed to a woman this time: "Duke, good morning." Doesn't sound like you're in a good mood? ”

Duke was surprised: "Amy? ”

The other party is Amy: "It's me, this is my mobile phone number in Chinese mainland, you can save it." I heard that you have a month's vacation, do you have time to sit on these two days? ”

Du Ke: "I'm sorry, I'm really not available. ”

Amy was not annoyed, but smiled: "I know you're busy, but it's August, and you haven't fulfilled your contractual obligations yet." Of course, I didn't call you to urge you to shoot a commercial for our company, but a greeting between friends. If you're in a bad mood, then you should come out and sit, I have a hundred ways to make your mood instantly cloudy. If you're in a tough situation, you might as well tell me about it, and maybe I can help you with it. What you find difficult, maybe not difficult for me. ”

When Director Qin was in Spain, he told Duke that he should try not to have too much contact with Amy until he thoroughly figured out her mysterious background. The toothbrush endorsement contract is unavoidable, if you just shoot advertisements for them according to the content of the contract, then it is not a big problem, you can shoot a few advertisements, and you have to do things for people after receiving other people's money.

Eventually, Duke agreed to Amy's invitation and went out for a sitting.

Perhaps, now only Amy can help him.

Amy can even handle FINA, and she should have a channel to get the FITL.

In fact, you don't need to get the International Iron Federation, just get a sponsor's wild card, and the sponsor also has a quota for the wild card of the triathlon international points race. For Amy, getting a wild card may not be too difficult. (To be continued.) )
