On the day of Zhang Guan's visit to Moscow, the Association also held a small-scale internal meeting.

A day ago, a big event happened in the sports world, and the swimming center made a decision to expel the little prince of diving from the national team, mainly because he used his agent without authorization. And another diving queen was only verbally criticized for reining in time.

The unauthorized use of agents may sound like a strange reason, but it is full of the determination of the swimming association, which has shown an uncompromising attitude when it comes to the commercial representation of athletes, even if it uses very drastic and extreme methods.

Among the athletes at the level of domestic Olympic champions, they have agents and Zhang Guan. It is very common to shoot the first bird, especially Zhang Guan, the bird, whose head is still relatively long, not only has a complete team of agents, but also signed several large endorsements and advertisements, if no one is red, it is really abnormal.

In the conference room, President Qu said excitedly: "I think the approach of the Swimming Association is very correct, athletes are the assets of the country, and their right to use commercial value should belong to the association, and the unauthorized use of agents is disobedience to superiors, and athletes who are disobedient and disobedient to their superiors should be punished." And in our track and field team, there are also such athletes, and not only use agents without authorization, but also form a team of agents! The nature of the person who dived this time is even worse, more serious, it's really unusual! The swimming association has set an example for other associations, so I suggest that our association should take back the rights to develop the commercial value of athletes. ”

Although President Qu did not name names, everyone knew that the person President Qu was talking about was Zhang Guan.

Including the president, no one objected, and of course did not agree, but everyone knew that the practice of the Swimming Association did allow President Qu to find a basis. Decisions are made based on the precedents of superiors or peers. It is a very safe thing for public officials, and if you do it right, the credit is your own; If you do something wrong, the main responsibility lies with someone else. It's like the one who helped people, regardless of whether the person hit him or not, but the judgment basis of the sentence "why help if you didn't hit it" will be used as a reference basis for the judgment of similar incidents in the future, even if the judgment is wrong, the responsibility can be passed on very cleanly, because there have been similar judgments before, and the latter just follows the precedent.

Director Luo is more inclined to Zhang Guan, and he also hopes to be able to use Zhang Guan. Exploring a new path for the commercialization of athletes. But at this point he felt that things had become very passive. So Director Luo said: "I don't think it's very appropriate to take back Zhang Guan's right to develop commercial value. After all, this is the intention of the leaders of the bureau, and the leaders have personally signed and approved, so we must implement the instructions of the leaders. ”

"That was the instruction of the previous leader." Director Qu immediately retorted: "The punishment decision of the Swimming Association must have been consulted by the leaders of the Bureau, and the Bureau did not object, which shows that the current leaders still respect the decision of the Swimming Association." And I think that although it is not explicitly written, the punishment of the swimming association feels that it explains the last opinion from one side, and at the same time points out the direction of the next work of our associations. ”

Director Luo frowned slightly. The previous director Hou retired in December last year, but the organization did not directly promote personnel from the bureau or the sports system, but chose a comrade in the reserve cadre system to serve as the new director. The new director not only worked at the top, but also had a lot of experience working at the grassroots level. The ability is very good, and he is also responsible for the next Olympic Games in the capital. However, the new director has only been in office for more than a month, and it should be time to sort out the work at hand.

It is a very normal phenomenon for people to go to tea and cool down, both inside and outside the system. If the original leader is promoted. The policy should still be continued, and if the original leader retires, the result will be understood by everyone. President Qu obviously grasped this point. Put pressure on everyone again.

"But before that, we had signed a contract with Zhang Guan's agent team, and if Zhang Guan's commercial development rights were recovered, his agent team could take legal routes, and from a legal point of view, we did not take the initiative. This kind of breach of contract must have a great impact on the image of the association. Director Luo said.

Chairman Qu obviously had already prepared the answer, and he said: "We just asked Zhang Guan to take back the commercial development rights, and he will take the initiative to agree to us, so that it will not be considered a breach of contract, and it will not involve legal issues." ”

"How could Zhang Guan agree!" Director Luo showed an expression of "you think too much", but then he immediately realized that President Qu had something to say.

Sure enough, I saw President Qu open his mouth and say: "If Zhang Guan doesn't agree, we can punish him, such as a ban for a period of time, or refer to the Swimming Association and not retain his national team qualification until he agrees to us." ”

"It's a reference to the Swimming Association again!" When Director Luo heard these words, he was very unhappy, so he fell silent.

Seeing that Director Luo no longer objected, the color of victory in President Qu's eyes flashed, and then he decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and today's meeting will give this matter to a conclusion, so President Qu then said: "In my opinion, we can talk to Zhang Guan now, even if we give him a notice, and we must explain it to him clearly, if you still insist on going your own way and disobey the feelings of your superiors, you will definitely be punished." ”

Director Luo suddenly remembered something and asked, "What does President Qu think we should talk about?" Is it an in-person interview? Or do you say it on the phone? ”

"Talk to him in person, of course! How can such an important thing be said on the phone, it is too informal. I think we have to send a secretary, and the main content of the conversation will also be recorded, so as to prove that our work is in place. President Qu opened his mouth and said, after President Qu finished speaking, he found that Director Luo squinted his eyes slightly, looking calm, which made President Qu a little puzzled, and even more felt a little bad, he already had a premonition that Director Luo must have a follow-up move.

I saw Director Luo open his mouth and said, "President Naqu may have to wait for a while, and now I'm afraid I can't talk to Zhang Guan." ”

"Why?" President Qu immediately asked.

"Zhang Guan went abroad to compete." Director Luo flipped up the notebook in his hand, deliberately pretending to be looking for work records, and then said, "Zhang Guan is now in Moscow, participating in the Moscow Indoor Track and Field Championships. ”

"Moscow? How did you run so far? How can you let him go abroad! President Qu immediately asked.

Director Luo said slowly: "A few days ago, Zhang Guan handed over an application to the center, saying that he hadn't participated in the competition for too long, and he was afraid that he would be unfamiliar and couldn't find the feeling of the competition, so he applied to participate in a few competitions in Europe to find out the state of the competition. ”

"Playing abroad to find form? How could it be so coincidental! I guess I didn't deliberately find an excuse to hide! President Qu thought secretly in his heart, but he couldn't say it, and he then asked, "What about Liu Feiren?" He also went abroad to find a state? ”

"Not really." Director Luo shook his head: "Liu Feiren's state should be maintained very well. Regarding this issue, I would also like to explain to you that Liu Feiren has participated in a lot of competitions over the years and accumulated a lot of competition experience, and his level of experience in maintaining competitive condition is much stronger than Zhang Guanqiang. After all, Zhang Guan has only carried out professional sports training for less than two years, and he has participated in very few competitions, and he can count all the palms of his hand, so he must be lacking in maintaining his competitive state. There is no rush on how to stay in competitive shape, it is a matter of experience, and it has to be improved through a certain amount of time and a lot of games. ”

The chairman sitting in the middle nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Director Luo's explanation.

"What about the funding? Zhang Guan's trip to Europe probably costs a lot! We're on a tight budget right now, we need money everywhere, and we've overbudgeted for a lot of competitions this year. Even if you want to stay competitive, you can find some places closer to you and don't have to go all the way to Europe! President Qu immediately questioned, feeling that he had grasped a critical issue.

"Zhang Guan participated in the competition at his own expense and did not spend the center's money." Director Luo looked at the notepad in his hand again, and then said: "And Zhang Guan holds the world record as a world record, and the organizers have to pay the venue fee to participate in many small and medium-sized events, and according to the regulations, the appearance fee of the competition is to hand over 15% as the association development fund, so this time Zhang Guan went out to compete, not only will it not cost the center a penny, but also should hand over some development funds, which can also solve the problem of our shortage of funds to a certain extent." ”

Director Luo's words made President Qu completely lose his temper, but he still didn't give up, but said, "When will that crown come back?" We can wait for him to come back and talk to him about the disbandment of the broker team! ”

At this moment, the door of the conference room was opened, and the director of the office walked in, he nodded to the leaders present, and then walked up to the president, handed a document to the president, and whispered in the chairman's ear.

After the director of the office finished the report, he stood aside, and then the chairman cleared his throat and said: "There is good news to tell you here, in the Moscow track and field indoor competition held yesterday, Zhang Guan won the championship with a time of 6.38 seconds and broke the world record in the men's 60-meter sprint event!" ”

"Another world record!" President Qu had a shocked look on his face, while Director Luo smiled happily.

The president continued: "Next, Zhang Guan will go to Germany to compete, I think at this time, let's not let the athletes be distracted, other things should be postponed, let Zhang Guan participate well, win more championships, and show the heroic demeanor of our Chinese athletes in front of the world!" ”

President Qu suddenly looked like a deflated ball, he knew that what he had just said was in vain! (To be continued.) )
