Chapter 4 Talking about money, hurting feelings

Tennis Center.

"Come, Zhang Guan, drink tea!" Director Liu smiled and handed the teacup to Zhang Guan's table.

"Thank you, Director Liu, I'll just come by myself." Zhang Guan took the teacup, sniffed it, and didn't drink it. He put down the teacup and continued: "Director Liu, we just talked about the Olympics. Next year's Olympics are very important for our country, and my energy must be focused on preparing for the Olympics, and I have to compete in several events in athletics, and I have to do some recovery training, so I am not going to participate in the four Grand Slams next year, otherwise my energy will really not be able to keep up. ”

A Grand Slam tournament takes almost a month from the pre-tournament preparation to the end of the tournament, which is a bit overwhelming for Zhang Guan. What's more, Zhang Guan is going to participate in the special training of basketball next, so he has no time to participate in tennis competitions.

"Not participating?" Director Liu was slightly stunned, and then he immediately spoke: "This question, I think you should think about it and consider it." ”

Zhang Guan's failure to participate in the Grand Slam is a big loss for the tennis center, which Director Liu does not want to see.

"I can't do anything about it, I just have so much time, and I can't do it. But in the Olympic tennis competition, I will definitely participate, and my goal is to win the gold medal in the men's singles tennis at the Olympics. Zhang Guan said.

Zhang Guan's words can be regarded as giving Director Liu a reassurance. Director Liu naturally knows how important next year's Olympic Games are, especially the Olympic champion in 2008, which is even more important. The Grand Slam champion can only be regarded as a good management work for the tennis center, and the tennis champion of the 2008 Olympic Games is not comparable to the Grand Slam champion, and can rise to the height of politics.

Thinking of the tennis champion of the Olympic Games, Director Liu's heart is hot, if he can really win the tennis championship of the next Olympic Games. Director Liu's promotion is definitely inevitable. So Director Liu said: "In this case, then our tennis center respects your choice, after all, the Olympics are very important." However, I hope you don't slack off on your daily tennis training, if you have any needs, just ask, we will definitely try our best to help you out. ”

"Then thank you Director Liu." Zhang Guan said.

At this moment, a staff member knocked on the door and came in and whispered a few words in Director Liu's ear.

Director Liu nodded, and then said to Zhang Guan: "I have to go to the General Administration for a meeting in the afternoon, and this meeting is related to you." ”

"Something to do with me? Which aspect? Zhang Guan asked immediately.

"Special Sports Development Fund." Director Liu did not hide Zhang Guan. Instead, he explained: "15% of the athletes' advertising endorsement fees are used as special sports development funds, and this year's athletes in our country will earn the most from your advertising expenses." Your 15 percent is a lot of money, and we want it at the Tennis Center, and they want it from the Athletics Center, so this afternoon's meeting is to discuss it. To put it bluntly, it's to fight for money! ”

"Oh? So who has a better chance of winning now? Zhang Guan asked.

"The Tennis Association is far inferior to the Athletics Association, so our tennis center is naturally inferior to the Athletics Center. Otherwise, we wouldn't have brought this matter to the General Administration of Sports. Director Liu said with a smile: "In these years, crying children have milk to eat. At the level of the Sports Federation, we also pay attention to a balance, and we will definitely support relatively weak projects, which is more beneficial to our tennis center. ”

……

In the afternoon of the same day. General Directorate of Sports. Director Liu and Director Qu were already arguing. However, for the sake of tens of millions of special sports project development funds, even if the two of them fight with each other, someone will be able to understand.

"Zhang Guan has been engaged in tennis for the whole year of this year. Therefore, the special development fund, of course, should be managed by our tennis center! Director Liu said.

"But Zhang Guan is also a registered athlete of our Athletics Association, and he has a lot of advertising endorsements. They were all signed last year, and Zhang Guan hadn't played tennis at that time! This special development fund can be said to have nothing to do with the tennis center! Director Qu said very strongly.

"If it weren't for Zhang Guan's achievements in tennis and winning the Grand Slam championship, would those advertising endorsements continue to invest in Zhang Guan? In addition, sponsors need the publicity effect of athletes, so they will sponsor athletes, and for a whole year this year, Zhang Guan's publicity effect has been reflected in the tennis court. Athletics didn't help the sponsors in any way! And I remember that at the beginning of the year, the field management center also banned Zhang Guan and banned him from the media, which had a negative effect on Zhang Guan's commercial value. Instead of helping athletes develop commercial value, your athletics management center is pulling back from behind, and I personally don't think it's qualified to ask for a special development fund at all. Director Liu immediately argued with reason.

"Give Zhang Guan a ban and punishment, that's because he violated discipline!" Director Qu said immediately.

Director Liu immediately snorted coldly: "Zhang Guan won the championship at the Australian Open Tennis Championships, and made a historic breakthrough for my country's tennis career. ”

"Ahem...... The leader of the General Bureau, who was sitting in the middle, coughed dryly and said: "Regarding the previous punishment of Zhang Guan, we will not discuss it today. The theme of our meeting today is which side of the special development fund should be given. ”

The words of the leader of the General Administration can be regarded as helping Director Qu to relieve the siege, but because of the mention of Zhang Guan's ban, Director Qu's momentum inevitably weakened a little.

However, when it comes to money, and it is such a huge amount, neither side is willing to compromise, now is not the time to be emotional, Director Liu and Director Qu, the two directors of the sports management center, soon fell into a fierce debate again.

"En'en ......" The leader of the General Bureau coughed dryly again, stopped the words of the two, and then said: "What you mean, I have understood it, and there is a certain amount of truth in what they say to each other, and there is no result if they continue to argue, I don't think it is as good as this, since this is Zhang Guan's advertising endorsement income, then why don't we listen to the opinions of the parties?" ”

The leader of the General Administration said, looking at He Yiming, who had been sitting there silently.

He Yiming watched a good show for an afternoon, and knew that it was time for him to appear, so he cleared his throat and said: "Leaders, then I will express the views of our champion and give them a reference." The special development fund handed over by this athlete has always been handed over to the athletes of what project they have handed over to their respective special projects, and there has never been a cross-sports situation like Zhang Guan. So, Zhang Guan can be said to be a special case, I think, since it is a special case, it can be done specially. You don't have to look at those rules. ”

"Special case?" Everyone's eyes were focused on He Yiming, He Yiming's last sentence was something in his words, and now no one can make a fuss about what medicine is sold in He Yiming's gourd. (To be continued.) )
