Du Ke came to the Provincial Sports Bureau and went directly to the deputy director's office to find Deputy Director Liang Bingsheng.

Oh, Liang Bingsheng's current title is "Acting Director of the Provincial Sports Bureau", the director of the bureau officially retired last month, according to the custom, after a few months of Liang Bingsheng's deputy, the "acting" and "deputy" can be removed, and he will become the leader of the Provincial Sports Bureau.

Du Ke handed over a copy of the endorsement contract to Acting Director Liang, Liang Bingsheng accepted the copy of Du Ke's contract, and said: "This contract is signed by you personally with Bode Company, neither counting, the contract has the company's address and the contact information of the person in charge, and our provincial bureau will contact Bode Company in the near future after reporting to the Sports Federation Swimming Management Center, and then sign a similar agreement with them." ”

"You are an athlete registered with our bureau, and the contract you signed personally, plus the agreement authorized by the Swimming Sports Management Center to be signed by our bureau, can be regarded as valid, and you can be regarded as participating in commercial activities in accordance with the regulations. In other words, you can sign 10 million yuan in your first endorsement contract, which is not less. ”

Du Ke sighed: "Hey, you have to pay 2 million to pay taxes, and most of the remaining 8 million have to be paid to the public, I eat grass, and milk is milk, Liang Bureau, my country's athletes have a very hard life." ”

"Come on, Duke, you've made millions all at once, which is also called hardship? I don't get a few million dead wages for the rest of my life. Liang Ju said, "It should be handed over to the Sports Federation and the Chinese Swimming Association, and not a penny can be missing, this is a matter of principle." Handed over to the Provincial Bureau and the Provincial Swimming Association, we can appropriately distribute you according to your performance in the World Championships in the form of prize money, in fact, there are a lot. ”

"Du Ke, don't cry about poverty, you have to take a long-term view, the millions you handed over seem like a lot now, but when you look back in a few years, it's just a few small dollars. Sitting in my position, it is inconvenient to say a lot to you directly, although the system restricts the commercial income of athletes, but if you can make reasonable use of the rules of the system, you will reap a huge amount of energy far beyond money. Then again, can you endorse for a lifetime? What do you do when you retire? ”

"Many Olympic champions and world champions are very beautiful when they are in service, but after they retire, they are not as good as a year, why? Look farther, what you are doing now is actually paving the way, don't worry too much, okay, point to the end, you can experience it yourself. ”

"In addition, I remind you that it is okay for you to engage in business activities, and the policy is allowed, but don't forget what your most important task is in the near future, the World Championships will definitely be an extremely important turning point for you now, and you will be on the road to the top from now on. If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, go back to the provincial team and continue to practice hard and wait for the next time. Liang Ju said earnestly.

Du Ke nodded: "Thank you Liang Bureau for your order, I know, then I'll go." ”

Liang Ju: "Wait, it's not finished yet, during this period of time, if there are other businesses looking for you to endorse, please let me know as soon as possible, instead of talking to others about the price and signing the contract, and then say hello to me first." ”

"Anyway, in the end, we have to come forward with the provincial bureau, and the swimming management center will come forward in person for a relatively large contract. Forget it this time, don't take it as an example, I'm mainly afraid that you will be distracted and can't focus on training. If you find a broker in the future, you can let the broker run these business processes, and before there is no broker, I will temporarily act as your broker. Even if you have a team of brokers, you still have to get the approval of the provincial bureau and the federation of sports in the end. Okay, I'm done, you have to know it yourself, Du Jianjiang. ”

Du Ke left the director's office and returned to his car, pondering the words of the Liang Bureau, looking forward to the future while calculating the real money that is more tangible at the moment.

At present, it is more realistic that the 10 million endorsement fee, excluding taxes and public grain to be handed over, the amount that Du Ke can finally get is between 2.6 million and 3.5 million. The money will not be available immediately, and the company will pay the 10 million in installments within a year.

In the past few days, Du Ke has received several phone calls from business endorsements, none of which are famous brands. The brand he had never heard of, Du Ke directly refused, and he asked the merchant to negotiate with the Provincial Sports Bureau.

In addition to the merchants who asked Du Ke to endorse the advertisement, two brokerage companies also took the initiative to contact Du Ke and asked Du Ke if he needed professional agent services, and Du Ke also politely declined.

On April 14, Du Ke ended his vacation two days early and returned to the provincial team to resume training.

Through training, it is almost impossible for Doke's speed, explosiveness, endurance, physique and other attributes to improve naturally, because these four attributes have reached more than 80.

The technique is 24, the strength is 23, and with training, it is possible to improve slowly and naturally.

As for agility and precision, swimming training has nothing to do with these two attributes, so you can't improve it after training.

Even if he can only slowly improve his skills and strength, Duke has to train every day, his system is known only to him, and if he adds attributes and upgrades his stunts, his performance can be improved, and no one will believe it except God.

But what about sticking to training, there is a reasonable explanation.

Another key point is that if Duke trains, it may not necessarily increase the attribute value, but if you don't train for a long time, the attribute value will decrease. If he doesn't train for half a year and gains 20 pounds, not to mention the international level, the national level is estimated to be unreachable.

The training time passed quickly, and on April 27, the Chinese national men's swimming team and women's swimming team issued a formal call-up order to the Nanyue swimming team: Du Ke and Liu Xiang of the Nanyue team are hereby recruited to be selected for the current national swimming training team, and the two athletes Du and Liu are requested to arrive in the capital before May 1 to report to the national swimming training base.

Du Ke and Liu Xiang actively responded to the call of the country, and on the morning of April 28, the two of them traveled together and took a plane to the capital.

When the training team for the Asian Championships was formed last year, Du Ke went to the national team alone, and he finally had a companion this time.

The plane had already taken off, and Du Ke and Liu Xiang were sitting next to each other.

Liu Xiang was very excited, this was her first time selected for the national team, and she asked Du Ke a little nervously: "Brother Du, what are the rules for entering the national team?" Isn't it forbidden to run around and talk nonsense? I heard that there are also cases of gangs and gangs in the national team, if you stand on the wrong team, will you be beaten? ”

"Huh." Du Ke smiled, "Ah Xiang, you've watched too many Hong Kong films, right?" We are going to report on the national team, not the black club, and the rules to be followed when entering the national team are very simple, train hard, listen to the coach's command, and do these two things well. The average age of the girls is about the same age as you, so you should be able to get along. ”

"Well, then I'm relieved." Liu Xiang nodded, much more relieved, "To tell the truth, I have to thank you well, if you hadn't said good things to Director Zhou, I might not have been able to go to Barcelona again." Brother, I'll follow you in the future. ”

Du Ke: "I have accepted a few younger brothers in the national team, and now I have a little sister, what you said about the phenomenon of holding groups and forming gangs, won't it mean me......?"

The two chatted, talking and laughing along the way, and at 12 o'clock at noon, they arrived at the capital airport, and the staff of the national team made a special trip to pick them up.

At one o'clock, Ning Zetao of the Navy Corps, Wang Shun and Xu Jiayu of the Zhedong Corps also arrived at the capital airport from different cities one after another, plus Du Ke and Liu Xiang, who arrived half an hour ago, and five team members, a staff member, and a driver just filled a seven-seater commercial vehicle.

The driver started the car and drove in the direction of the National Swimming Training Base, and from this moment on, Du Ke and his little brothers and sisters were embarking on a new journey.
