Duke ran 9.92 seconds to win the men's 100m final at the IAAF Super Grand Prix in Lisbon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Su Bingtian finished fifth with a time of 10.05 seconds, shaving his best time by 0.01 seconds.

With three championships, two new Asian records, 100 points each in three individual events, and 150,000 euros, Duco left Portugal with the team on March 2 and returned home.

On March 3, China time, after Duke arrived in Nangang, he received a good news, and the Laureus World Sports Club officially informed Duke that he had officially informed Duke that:

"Mr. Du, in view of your tremendous contribution to the world sports in 2013, you are nominated as a candidate for the '2013 Male Athlete of the Year' after a primary election by more than 2,000 senior journalists around the world, as well as a re-election by the Laureus Institute of Physical Education. You are cordially invited to attend the Laureus Awards Gala in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 26 March 2013 and wish you the best male athlete of the year. ”

What does that mean?

What this means: Duke has been shortlisted for the Laureus Award for 2013 Male Athlete of the Year.

The Laureus World Games website has announced the six nominees for the best male athlete and why:

Usain Bolt (Jamaica, Athletics) – Gold medallist in the men's 100m, 200m, 4x100m relay at the 2013 World Athletics Championships.

LeBron James (USA, Basketball) – Miami Heat player who has been elected NBA regular season MVP four times in five years.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal, Football) – Portugal national team/Real Madrid player, scored a total of 69 goals for the Portuguese national team and Real Madrid in 2013.

Rafael Nadal (Spain, tennis) – Winner of the US Open, French Open and five ATP Masters titles in 2013.

Sebastian Vettel (Germany, F1) - Won the F1 World Championship for 4 consecutive years.

Du Ke (China, swimming) – won gold medals in 14 events at the 2013 World Swimming Championships and broke world records in 10 events throughout the year.

Usain Bolt, James, Ronaldo, Nadal, Vettel, Duke and other six stars in various fields of world sports, their respective brilliant achievements and international popularity need not be overstated.

On March 26, in Kuala Lumpur, the Laureus Award for Male Athlete of the Year 2013 will be unveiled among the six popular sports star candidates.

Looking back on the past 13 Laureus Awards, no Chinese athlete has ever won the "Best Male Athlete" or "Best Female Athlete".

Da Yao and Liu Xiang won the "Best Newcomer Award" in 2003 and 2005 respectively.

The Chinese Olympic delegation won the "Best Team Award" in 2009.

The above two people and one team are the honors that the Chinese have received at the Laureus Awards.

Broken down into various fields, no swimmer from any country has ever won the Laureus Award for Best Male or Female Athlete, and athletes in athletics, tennis, F1, golf, cycling, skiing and other sports seem to be more favored by the Laureus Sports Academy judges.

The hottest sports in recent years are undoubtedly athletics and tennis, but of course, Usain Bolt, Isinbayeva, Nadal, Djokovic, Serena Williams and, a few years earlier, Federer, have certainly deserved the title of best male and female athletes.

The news that Duke was nominated as a candidate for the Laureus Award for Best Male Athlete quickly spread in China, from the leadership of the Sports Federation to the people of the whole country, all of whom were jubilant.

Duke was nominated for Best Male Athlete, which is equivalent to a Chinese actor being nominated for an Oscar, and regardless of whether Duke can be elected Male Athlete of the Year in 2013, at least he has been officially recognized by the international sports community.

'Usain Bolt, James, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nadal, Sebastian Vettel...... They're all big shots. Du Ke had already returned to his big house and said to Su Yun.

Su Yun: "Time goes back to two years ago, when you were unknown and could only see these big names on TV. And now, Duke, you have the opportunity to compete fairly with them, what are you afraid of? Isn't it just Bolt's people, Bolt only won three gold medals in the World Championships last year, and you won 14, and Bolt's quadrupling is not as much as yours. ”

Du Ke hugged Su Yun and said with a smile: "His track and field gold medal is more valuable." ”

Su Yun pouted and said: "Bolt has won the best male athlete several times, it's time for someone else's turn, isn't it anti-monopoly now." ”

"Haha!" Du Ke laughed, "If I really engage in anti-monopoly, I will be the first to be defeated." By the way, Su Yun, I have an idea that I want to discuss with you......"

Du Ke spent half an hour telling Su Yun about his plan to do a big business.

After hearing this, Su Yun first asked a question: "How much money do you have now?" ”

Du Ke: "27 million, the endorsement fee and the balance of more than 10 million, will be in place before October." ”

"That is, in October of this year, you can have about 40 million funds." Su Yun said, and then asked, "Have you received any advertisements recently?" ”

Du Ke nodded: "Mr. Sports picked me up two more, one for dairy products and one for online shopping brands." The two lists add up to about 35 million, and they are still talking, and it is said that the contract will be signed within this month. ”

Su Yun: "The three achievements of 35 million are more than 10 million, plus the bonus you can still get this year, by October this year, can you get 70 or 80 million?" ”

Du Ke used the mobile phone calculator to calculate for a while, looked at the calculation results and said: "Almost, according to the best results, you can save up to 92.11 million." ”

"Scare ......" Su Yun stuck out his tongue, "So much, you will be a billionaire in half a year!" If the 90 million is smashed, it should be able to open a garment factory, right? ”

Du Ke wondered, "What are you doing in a garment factory?" I just told you about my big brand plan for a long time, and you will figure out a garment factory? ”

Su Yun said quite seriously: "Aren't you going to establish the Duke brand?" Then you have to register a company, design the Duke brand trademark, and then open a garment factory to produce sportswear, sweatpants, and of course, swimsuits, swimming trunks, swimming caps, and then affix your Duke trademark and put it on the market. It doesn't matter if you wear sportswear or sweatpants, swimsuits, swimsuits, swim caps, in fact, you and I both know that with your current or future capital reserves, you can't produce competition-level swimming equipment at all. ”

"You can open a factory to produce Duke brand swim trunks and swim caps, but you still have to choose the products produced by professional foreign manufacturers for the swim trunks and swim caps you wear yourself and participate in international competitions. To put it bluntly, the Duke series of sports equipment you produce is sold to ordinary people to wear and play. ”

Du Ke nodded, and then shook his head suddenly: "Listening to you say that, I seem to be producing some kind of copycat sports equipment?" ”

Su Yun settled the account for Du Ke: "90 million funds, is it too much, do you need money to build a factory?" Do I need money to buy or rent a piece of land? Do I need money to buy equipment? Do you need money to recruit workers, technicians, and factory managers? There are also raw material procurement, various energy costs, a lot of costs, a lot of miscellaneous and cumbersome. ”

"It's just production, in fact, the most expensive thing is marketing, sales channel development, you create a new brand, you have to advertise everywhere, otherwise who knows your Duke brand? You can endorse your brand, but advertising on media platforms costs money, and it costs a lot of money. If I do the math, it seems that 90 million is not enough...... The key is that the return of this business is not so fast, in the first few years you have to be prepared to lose money, you have to keep throwing money in, this year, I have never heard of anyone who can make a profit in the first two years of business by opening a company. Saying that, Su Yun also felt that this matter was really not easy to operate.

"As for the business model of the Portuguese sports club that Duke said, don't think about it in the short term, this kind of investment in sports clubs requires extremely large funds as support, and to put it bluntly, it is to burn money. The Evergrande team can burn money, that's because their boss is engaged in real estate, they have abundant funds, and they burn a lot of money, understand? If Duke you really want to engage in this business, I suggest you go to a partner, one person takes 90 million, and several people make up hundreds of millions, then it's a bit of a head. ”

"Partner?" Du Ke pondered, "Where can I find a trusted partner?" (To be continued.) )
