As soon as Zhang Guan got off the plane, he was greeted with a grand welcome, flowers and banners were of course indispensable, and Director Liu of the Tennis Center personally came to the airport to greet Zhang Guan.

Two hours later, the tennis center held a press conference for Zhang Guan, and the Australian Open trophy was placed in the most prominent position, which became the biggest highlight of the conference. Of course it was a replica, and the real trophy is still in Melbourne.

The trophies of the four Grand Slams are all unique, and the real trophies are only used at the award ceremony, and the winners of each edition take away a 1:1 replica. However, for these domestic journalists, this replica trophy is also full of attraction, and everyone is eager to take a 360-degree ring shot around the trophy.

The press conference was followed by a panel discussion. Zhang Guan has also participated in this kind of symposium after winning the championship many times, but it is all related to track and field. The relevant leaders will symbolically attend yesterday's meeting and encourage the athletes. Subsequently, the person in charge will generally ask the champion for advice or suggestions, and the player can also raise it on the spot if he encounters difficulties or has other needs.

For example, the symposium held by the tennis center talks about some things related to competition or training, but when it comes to similar symposiums held by the local government, the champion can even make some more practical requests. For example, one year, an Olympic champion said at a local symposium that his family was living in a 40-square-meter building, and hoped that his superiors would solve the housing problem, and the local government immediately rewarded a three-bedroom apartment.

Zhang Guan once promised Sister Na to mention the matter of "Golden Flower Flying Solo", so he also mentioned it to Director Liu in the symposium.

I only heard Zhang Guan open his mouth and say: "Director Liu, I have gained a lot from participating in the Australian Open tennis tournament this time. I found that there is indeed a certain gap between the development of tennis in our country and that of European and American countries. Especially in terms of professionalism, we can say that it is almost zero, and this point, not to mention the developed countries in Europe and the United States, even many Asian countries, are also ahead of us! ”

Director Liu nodded seriously: "You're right. Regarding the professionalization of tennis, we have also been conducting relevant research and demonstration in the tennis center, and a series of reforms will be carried out in the future. However, the Olympics will be held next year, so there will not be much change before the Olympics. You don't have to rush, when the Olympics come, something will definitely change. ”

Director Liu said here and thought about it. He continued: "Because next year's Olympic Games are so important, preparing for the Olympics can be said to be our most important goal next year. It can be expected that next year will be relatively sufficient in terms of funds, and going abroad to participate in professional tennis events is also guaranteed. We also need our main athletes to compete as much as possible and to prepare for the Olympics. ”

Zhang Guan nodded, next year's Olympics will be held in the capital, so as long as it is a competition event in the Olympic Games. The funds for training are much more sufficient, and it is conceivable that there will be more opportunities for athletes to compete next year.

Let Director Liu give this answer. Zhang Guan can also be regarded as able to explain to Sister Na and a few other golden flowers.

I only heard Director Liu then ask: "After the Spring Festival, do you have any important arrangements?" If not, the center has a campus tennis promotion event that I hope you can participate in. ”

Director Liu said in general, while taking out a thick copywriting plan from the document next to him, and continued: "We have preliminarily decided to carry out this promotion activity in 50 key universities in 12 large and medium-sized cities. If you are able to participate, I believe that our event will definitely attract more attention. However, running 12 cities in a row may delay you for some time, and the itinerary will be tighter and more tiring. ”

"No problem. I'm not afraid of getting tired, I will definitely participate! Zhang Guan continued: "I also hope that more people can participate in the sport of tennis. ”

……

In the past few days in the capital, Zhang Guan has not been idle for a moment. First of all, it is necessary to deal with all kinds of media interviews, in terms of TV media, CCTV and the sports channel each made an exclusive interview for Zhang Guan, of which the sports channel also made a documentary about the Australian Open for Zhang Guan; In terms of print media, several major sports publications lined up to interview Zhang Guan; The online media is more active, almost wherever Zhang Guan goes, they follow.

In addition, almost all of the big sponsors behind Zhang Guan were also dispatched, hoping that Zhang Guan could shoot a new version of the advertisement or reshoot the clip of the advertisement. For example, an advertisement originally showed Zhang Guan running on the track and field, but now it is replaced by Zhang Guan holding a tennis racket and fighting on the tennis field.

For more than a week, Zhang Guan spent time in a busy situation. And as the Spring Festival approaches, Zhang Guan has the opportunity to return to his hometown.

During the Spring Festival, it was difficult to buy train tickets, but fortunately, the capital was not too far from the capital, and Zhang Guan returned to the provincial capital in the author's own business car.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the car got off the highway entrance, the team from the province to greet Zhang Guan appeared.

In the evening of the same day, the Provincial Sports Bureau held a special welcome dinner for Zhang Guan, which was attended by the provincial leaders in charge of sports and several main leaders of the Sports Bureau.

After the dinner, a deputy director seemed to have drunk too much, and deliberately pulled Zhang Guan aside alone, saying that he wanted to ask for tennis knowledge. However, in fact, the deputy director has something to say to Zhang Guan alone.

"Zhang Guan, we all know the things that the Tiantian Management Center did a few days ago, and our province has been paying attention to it, but you were not in China at that time, and you couldn't tell you a lot of things. Now that you're back, I'm going to tell you where we stand. You are an athlete trained by our province, so no matter what, we will be on your side. Although our provincial bureau cannot influence the decision-making of the field management center, when it comes to our own place, the bureau can still have the final say. Training venues, training equipment, training funds, training personnel, whether it is track and field, tennis, even other sports, as long as you need it, the bureau can help you solve it. So you don't have to worry about it. The deputy director said very sincerely.

Zhang Guan nodded with some emotion, and at the same time expressed his gratitude.

Over the years, Zhang Guan has also realized that the more he goes to the locality, the more serious the protectionism towards top athletes becomes. Assuming that the Olympic champion is a giant panda, then at the national level, there are probably forty or fifty of these giant pandas, and probably only those who are cute and know how to be cute will receive unique care; At the provincial level, there are four or five giant pandas, and this treatment will definitely improve a lot, and each giant panda has to be taken care of; At the municipal level, a city may not even be able to get a giant panda, or a city can only get a giant panda in a few years, and the treatment will be upgraded to a level, even if it is the ugliest, stupidest and worst giant panda, it will also enjoy the top treatment.

Then Zhang Guan entered a busy state again, the provincial-level commendation conference, symposium, city-level commendation conference, symposium, of course, there are also things like advanced deeds report meeting.

This kind of day lasted until the eve of the Chinese New Year, and when Sharapova returned from the Pan Pacific Open, Zhang Guan put down all activities and took Sharapova to experience China's unique "New Year's flavor". (To be continued.) )

PS: The first chapter was delivered, it's late, sorry, it's cooled down here today, I'm wearing less, probably I'm frozen, dizzy, so I slept first in the afternoon. In spring, I would like to remind you to pay attention to the weather changes and beware of colds. In addition, yesterday I said that the alliance leader will definitely not be less, but it will be later.
