Chapter 1525: Box Office Results
Han Xuan has long known that his body is different from ordinary people, whether it is running with Anya in the morning or running with his father in the morning, when they are tired and out of breath, he still hasn't felt the pressure.
I haven't really tried long-distance running to the best of my ability, so I don't know where the limit is, and my physical strength is surprisingly good, so running a marathon shouldn't be a problem.
If it weren't for being reincarnated in such a good family, with this kind of physical fitness, I believe that even if I go out to move bricks, I won't starve to death.
Waiting for Secretary Dawson to ask someone to help find a professional coaching team, it should be a matter of the next semester, there is no need to rush to exercise for the time being, he is still in the critical period of growing his body, excessive exercise will be counterproductive, and Mr. Andra, the physical education teacher, just let him practice more sports skills that need to be mastered.
Participating in the Olympic Games is a burden for others, because physical training costs a lot, and the athletes, including equipment, coaches, food, clothing, housing, and transportation, all have to bear their own expenses, and even if they win medals, the US Government will not give any material rewards, at most they will just go to the White House to make a show and see Clinton accept the awards.
Whether you can be famous after winning the award and whether you can bring material benefits to yourself depends on your own ability, and it is also very important to operate afterwards, but those sporting goods manufacturers are often more optimistic about stars such as football, basketball, boxing, and champions of ordinary competitions, and it is not easy to be famous.
This economic impact has a negative effect on society, resulting in sports that are easy to become famous and make money are more popular with young people.
Others will think that it is an honor to go to the White House to meet President Clinton, but Han Xuan does not think so, he even sat on the chair in the president's office once.
For him, there was nothing unusual about the poorly decorated and featureless white office building, and he didn't bother to go unless he had something particularly important.
The reason why he agreed to the invitation of the United States Olympic Organizing Committee was purely out of personal interest, about the arena that represents the world's highest level of sports competition, and now the opportunity to participate is in front of Han Xuan, it is impossible to forget it, but his physical condition is completely allowed, of course he has to give it a try.
Compared with other events, Han Xuan is more confident in swimming, he usually calls himself "little white strip in the waves" to his parents, and when he tested the 200-meter individual medley, he swam a good time of 1 minute and 59 seconds, almost breaking the world record.
It's just a little bit, which has something to do with his current figure, his arms and legs are not long enough, and he still has a lot of potential for growth in the future......
Towards the end of 1998, the semester was coming to an end, and the examination season at the University of Cambridge was here.
The school is full of students busy revising, and the grass, the auditorium, the classrooms, and especially the library are simply crowded.
There are too many people, and it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of noises, and Han Xuan has not gone there to read books recently, and like other doctoral students, he is busy continuing to learn the knowledge he is interested in.
In the library of Trinity College, there is a copy of the first edition of Newton's "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" published and distributed that year, the book is quite famous, and the survival is scarce, some time ago there was a copy at auction, and finally sold for 1.98 million US dollars.
Because Han Xuan's face is big, he brushed his face two days ago and asked the old dean to arrange for someone to take out the book, trying to appreciate this masterpiece that caused a sensation in the scientific community back then, but he didn't expect Fat Ding to make trouble, stepped on it with his dirty paws, and left a small plum blossom on the cover.
Afterwards, he was very considerate and donated a batch of books to the college, although the old dean would not ask him for compensation, but he did not want to owe this favor......
**************************
In the blink of an eye, today is the twentieth of December.
After the exam, the students left the campus with their luggage, Han Xuan did not need to take the exam, as a special doctoral student, the thesis he usually wrote was the homework used to evaluate the semester grades.
So, today he packed his things and got in a car from Cambridge Town, crossed the Sword River and left the campus, and will not be back until next spring.
When he received a call from the old man, he was about to fall asleep in a daze, so he could only blame the massage seat, which was too comfortable, picked up the mobile phone and looked at the number, and asked his grandfather: "Good morning, old man."
I'm going back to the U.S., I'll be back when I get Anja, and I'm on the bus back to London......"
It's already afternoon in the UK, and it's still morning in the US, so Han Xuan said so.
Old Man Han replied, "I'm in London too."
Guessing you're about to go on vacation, I want you to take me back, my plane was borrowed by your grandmother to fly to Morocco, and the new plane hasn't been built yet.
Come with me to Los Angeles in the evening, your parents will go too, I guess it's time now, this Christmas get-together, our family hasn't eaten together for a long time.
I was walking in the green park, and I was talking to Mr. Holvein, CEO of the Dutch Ahold Group, about acquiring a part of their company's shares, in the name of SOS convenience stores.
When you come to see me after you receive Anya, I will go to have some afternoon tea with him first, and then talk about it after we meet, there is something to discuss, which is very important. ”
"Okay, I'm almost there, I'll call you later, bye." Han Xuan hung up after speaking.
The data that comes to mind comes to mind about the Dutch Ahor Group, which now has about 4,000 retail stores in 27 countries around the world.
It is not at all comparable to the number of more than 70,000 SOS 24-hour convenience stores in the world, and if it can acquire a part of its shares, it means that the SOS Group will grow again, which is a good thing.
Listening to his voice, his mood seemed to be a little bad, Han Xuan knew what it was, Old Man Han's business had gone wrong recently.
In recent years, various supermarkets have risen, the industry is quite competitive, the market is gradually saturated, and the two sides are quite a bit of a lose-lose situation.
The price war has made life difficult for everyone, especially small enterprises with insufficient capital, and a large number of retail companies have gone bankrupt and been eliminated.
The US branch of SOS Supermarket closed more than 20 loss-making stores this year, and profits have also declined for two consecutive quarters, and the situation of Walmart is even less optimistic.
If it was just like this, Mr. Han would not be so worried, but the franchisees of SOS 24-hour convenience stores in the United States also joined forces to form a union, trying to negotiate with the SOS group and strive for greater benefits for themselves.
Things are quite troublesome, and the two sides are at a stalemate.
There seems to be someone behind the ghost, otherwise public opinion should not be as one-sided as it is now, and it is right to support those franchisees, you can clearly feel that there are forces that are putting pressure on the SOS group, and this pressure is not small.
Even the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) stepped in to investigate SOS Group's M&A assets, although it was only the opinion of a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce, but that should not have happened......
