The Olympics are over, and Zhang Guan will face a very tight schedule next. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he has to participate in various commendation conferences, accept various forms of media interviews, appear on some talk shows, and then there will be the activities of the Olympic champion's trip to Hong Kong and Macao.

I'm afraid it will take a month or two for the Olympics to pass, so at least in the last two months, Zhang Guan will inevitably be very busy.

And Zhang Guan's agent team has also begun to get busy, and various commercial endorsements have come like snowflakes, they are negotiating with sponsors during the day and sponsors on the other side of the world at night. Although the champion team has already offered the highest price in the world, the advertising shoot is still scheduled for the second half of next year.

The sponsors are shrewd and know that Zhang's commercial value will be maximized at the 2008 Olympics, and if Zhang Guan can achieve a good result in 2008, his commercial value will definitely increase, and if he withdraws like Liu Feiren, his commercial value will inevitably decline.

Sponsors clearly don't want to take risks, so most of the sponsorship contracts for Zhang Guan expired in 2008. If Zhang Guan can achieve good results in the Olympic Games, the sponsor will definitely work hard to renew the contract, and the sponsor can also accept Zhang Guan's price increase; And if Zhang Guan can't get good results, sponsors will inevitably look for another more popular spokesperson.

In the end, Zhang Guan achieved good results in the Olympics, but the results were so amazing that Zhang Guan's value increased several times in one fell swoop, and those sponsors who signed up for 2008 regretted it. They can afford a slight increase in sponsorship fees, but they suddenly have several times more sponsors, which discourages many sponsors.

Even if it is several times more about the sponsorship fee, there are still many sponsors who do not hesitate to spend money. In high-end advertising endorsements, a star will only endorse a brand of a certain type of product, such as endorsing Mercedes-Benz, and will not endorse BMW; If you endorse A. Lange & Söhne, you will no longer endorse Rolex. So for sponsors, it doesn't matter if they sign Zhang Guan or not, but if Zhang Guan is signed by a competitor, it will be troublesome. A good spokesperson is enough to make an unknown brand rise, and Zhang Guan's strong influence has also forced many sponsors to spend money.

……

While Zhang Guan made a lot of money, there was one person who was very unhappy.

IAAF Headquarters, Monaco.

Sebastian sat in his office, and on his computer monitor across from him, there was a report about the Games. Undoubtedly, the vast majority of voices are praised, but there are also criticisms from a few media outlets.

At this time, Sebasti was a little uncomfortable, because the Olympic Games were too successful.

First of all, there is nothing to say about the hardware, the venues are all the most advanced, first-class stadiums, first-class Olympic villages, compared to the last Athens Olympics without roofless stadiums, I don't know how many times stronger. The logistics support is also very perfect, the food, clothing, housing and transportation are fully prepared, and the volunteers are piled up, and they have all undergone very professional training. Many foreign athletes come here with a sense of joy and longing to stay longer.

This made Sebastian feel extremely pressured, because the two next two Olympic Games are always compared, and Sebastian knows that the London Olympics will definitely not be able to compare with this one. He could even have a hunch that the London Olympics in four years would inevitably be considered inferior in all respects.

London doesn't have that much money to build top-notch stadiums, and the so-called use of recyclable building materials is just a high-tech guise to cover up its lack of money, after all, second-hand materials can also be sold for some money, and it is worth a few cents if you can't sell scrap metal. However, even if the Olympic venues are used up, it does not mean that they will be demolished, they must be explained to the public, and recycling has become a good reason.

It is impossible for the London Olympics to have so many volunteers and service personnel, this has nothing to do with the total population, London's population density is also the world's top, the key is that the London Olympic Committee does not have the ability to mobilize so many people, many London citizens are not interested in hosting the Olympic Games, and they will even feel that hosting the Olympics will make London less safe and secure, and will disrupt their daily lives.

And there are voices within Britain that oppose hosting the Olympics. Some people think about Brexit all day long and live their lives behind closed doors; Scotland's pro-independence people also feel that the Olympics have nothing to do with them. People are not aligned, and even if the Olympics are held, they will encounter all kinds of resistance.

So Sebastian is worried that four years from now, when people compare the two Olympics, the London Olympics will inevitably be lost.

"What should I do?" Sebastian shook his head helplessly, although he was the president of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, but he couldn't do anything if he didn't give money.

An irritated Sebastian clicked on another website, and the headlines were about Zhang's 10 gold medals.

"It's Zhang Guan again!" Sebastian frowned in disgust.

It is said that having this well-known athlete in track and field can obviously strengthen the momentum of track and field competitions around the world and bring help to track and field, and Sebastian, as the president of the IAAF, should respect Zhang Guancai. But the truth is the opposite, he is an Englishman with a Cold War mentality, for a person with a Cold War mentality, everything that this country in the East has done is wrong and should be opposed, in his opinion, how can a red country host a successful Olympic Games?

Sebastian decided that China could not host a successful Olympic Games, he originally came to see the joke, he had the impression that China was still that poor and backward place, but the reality was that he saw that a great power had risen! But he is still reluctant to admit it. Ideology is the most insurmountable.

Many people of Sebastian's age in Europe have a Cold War mentality. And in the future Rio Olympics, all track and field athletes of the Russian track and field team were disqualified, which is also inseparable from his thinking. At that time, there were indeed doping in the Russian team, but it was impossible for one or two hundred people to use doping! But the IAAF came directly to kill with a stick, whether you use doping or not, as long as you train in Russia, you can't compete, and if you train in the United States, well, then open the net! But in fact, the United States is the most doping country in the world.

"A successful Olympic Games makes a great athlete!" Sebastian silently read the subheadline of the news, but he had a vague idea in his mind.

"A successful Olympics? If you can create some scandals for Zhang Guan, maybe people won't think so! Sebastian thought of this and dialed Richards.

Soon after, Richards arrives at Sebastian's office.

"I have something you need to do." Sebastian continued: "Zhang Guan has been so popular recently, I don't want a certain athlete to dominate the track and field event, you must understand that an athlete who is too strong is not a good thing for us in the IAAF, so I think we have to suppress Zhang Guan's arrogance, I hope you can find a way to create some trouble for Zhang Guan, such as scandals and the like......"

"Scandal?" Richards repeats the word.

"It's a scandal, such as playing a big name, such as disobeying the organizers, such as looking down on an opponent, or doing something else that is not quite appropriate. We hold so many competitions every year, it shouldn't be difficult to create some public opinion, just find someone to report it! We just need to make people feel that Zhang Guan is not as great as people think, he is still a person with great flaws, in short, we can't let people treat it as a god-like existence! Sebastian came up with an excuse that didn't sound very reasonable.

"Uh......" Richards hesitated for a moment, he thought for a moment, and said: "Mr. President, I'm afraid this is difficult, because since the Athletics World Cup two years ago, Zhang Guan has not participated in the competitions sponsored by our IAAF, he is playing tennis, and he has not participated in the competitions sponsored by our IAAF. The only international athletics competition Zhang Guan has participated in in the past two years has been the Olympics, but we can't get the Chinese to cooperate with us and go to trouble their national heroes. ”

Sebastian suddenly felt even more depressed, he was the president of the IAAF, and he wanted to find trouble with a track and field athlete, so he started from it. This is indeed enough to make Sebastian feel aggrieved.

Richards obviously also felt Sebastian's grievances, and as a subordinate, he certainly had to "be anxious about what the leader was anxious about" so that he could be promoted. I saw him take a step forward, lowered his voice, and said: "Mr. President, I have an idea to make Zhang Guan stink, maybe this trick will make him never turn over!" ”

"What's the idea?" Sebastian asked.

"The urine bottles of the Olympic track and field athletes have been sent to our storage center in Switzerland, and we can start with that...... Richards said he had a full picture of his plans.

"The risk of doing this is too great, if it really succeeds, Zhang Guan will indeed never be able to turn over, maybe even the entire Chinese sports world will be spurned by the world, but if others know that we are doing something from it, we will never be able to turn over!" Sebastian spoke.

Richards didn't answer, he thought Sebastian vetoed his idea, but only heard Sebastian continue: "So this matter, you have to do it yourself, I have to let a third person know about it, only if you do it yourself, I can rest assured!" ”

For Sebastian, it would be a pleasure to be able to stink Zhang Guan, but if he could make a stink with the 2008 Olympics, he would definitely do whatever it takes. In this way, four years later, the London Olympics will be reminiscent of the scandal-ridden 2008 Olympics, which will be known as incorruptible.

And Richards suddenly smiled bitterly, although he proposed this bad idea, but he did not seem to be the one to carry it out. As Sebastian said, the risk is too great, and if you don't get it right, you will lose yourself.

But now that Sebastian had spoken, Richards had no choice but to agree.

A large net spread out towards Zhang Guan again...... (To be continued.) )
