Chapter 29: A blockbuster

On July 28, 1984, the Los Angeles Olympics opened.

At this time, Liangkun was not in Hong Kong, but in Los Angeles, the "City of Angels".

Although Infinity has jointly purchased the broadcast rights of the 23rd Los Angeles Olympic Games with other Asian countries and regions, Liangkun still wants to go to the Olympic stadium to experience the Olympic atmosphere in person.

Of course, the price of tickets to the Olympics is sky-high, so Liangkun only bought tickets for competitions where the Chinese team has the "hope" of winning gold, such as the men's pistol slow-fire 50m final.

The Prado Olympic Shooting Park is the venue for the men's 50m pistol slow-fire final.

In fact, in a general game, compared to watching the game in front of the TV, if you don't sit in the front row, the experience is not good. However, shooting competitions are different, and it makes little difference whether you sit in the front row or not, because not only the spectators can't see the number of rings on the target, but the athletes themselves can't see clearly.

"I'm just here to see the flag-raising!" Liangkun comforted himself like this.

Even so, Liangkun didn't even dare to breathe too hard, for fear that his "butterfly wings" would fan the gold medal away.

Xu Haifeng clenched the pistol and stood on the No. 40 target position, the game began, he steadily raised the gun above his head, and slowly fell straight down, and shot decisively in an instant - "bang"! "Bang"! Fifty meters away, the bullseye was pierced, and a red "ten" stretched out on the points table......

Not to be outdone, Sweden's Scanaker and Australia's Adans tightened their grip on two Chinese players, Xu Haifeng and Wang Yifu.

When the fifth group was finished, Scanaker found that he was still two rings behind Xu Haifeng.

The crucial sixth group has begun. Xu Haifeng's first three shots were ten, nine, and nine rings, and the fourth shot only hit eight rings. He raised his wrist to look at his watch, and with half an hour left before the end of the game, he gently pulled over the chair and sat down.

Xu Haifeng rested for three or four minutes, then got up and pulled the trigger again.

Not good! It's the Eight Rings again.

Many foreign journalists exchanged words behind him, and some even began to walk towards Skanaker. In order to stop the protruding noise, the referee raised a yellow card to warn them.

Xu Haifeng sat quietly for a while before stepping onto the target position. I saw that he easily put his left hand in his pocket, held a gun in his right hand, and three bullets roared out with his Qianjun oath, ten rings! Ten rings! Nine rings!

Victory! Xu Haifeng surpassed Scanakel with a score of 566 rings.

No one expected that Xu Hai's summit, which was participating in the summit for the first time, would win the championship in one fell swoop, so that the United States did not prepare the Chinese flag at all, and the flag-raising ceremony was postponed for 45 minutes because the five-star red flag could not be found......

Liangkun does not feel that this time is long, the Chinese have been waiting for this gold medal for half a century, and do not care about waiting for 45 minutes more.

For the 23rd Los Angeles Olympic Games, in addition to Xu Haifeng's "zero breakthrough", Liangkun only remembers Li Ning. Therefore, for the rest of the time, Liangkun ran with Li Ning.

Sure enough, Li Ning became the most eye-catching men's gymnastics star in Los Angeles, he conquered the judges and the audience with his absolute strength and competitive beauty in the competition, and after winning the team silver medal, he won three gold medals in free gymnastics, rings, pommel horse, as well as a silver medal in vault and a bronze medal in the men's individual all-around, a total of 3 golds, 2 silvers and 1 bronze, becoming the athlete with the most medals in this Olympic Games.

Liang Kun carried a set of stamps, a set of 6 commemorative stamps and a souvenir sheet issued before the opening of the Olympic Games, and in a few days, Liang Kun asked someone to sign his name.

The first image of the stamp is of a female shooter, and Liang Kun asked for an autograph from Wu Xiaoxuan, the first female Olympic champion in Chinese history, who won the gold medal in the women's standard rifle event.

The second is a male high jumper, and Liangkun asked men's high jumper Zhu Jianhua to sign it. In a year, from June 1983 to June 1984, Zhu Jianhua broke the world record in the high jump three times, but only won the bronze medal. For Liangkun to ask him to sign an autograph, Zhu Jianhua's expression was very stunned. Liangkun said to Zhu Jianhua: "Don't feel that you only won the bronze medal, you are destined to leave your name in the history of Chinese sports." ”

- Liangkun knew that his comfort did not have much effect on Zhu Jianhua, and when he returned to China, he would suffer even greater blows and pain. Although it is not his fault, it is very unfair for him to bear it all alone, but it is fate.

The third is a male weightlifter, because the Chinese team is the best team in this Olympics or weightlifting, winning four golds and two silvers, Liangkun had to aggrieved Zeng Guoqiang (52 kg), Wu Shude (56 kg), Chen Weiqiang (60 kg), Yao Jingyuan (67.5 kg) four strong men squeezed their names on a small stamp.

The fourth is the gymnastics pommel horse, of course, Li Ning should be asked to sign it. "This stamp is worth 10 cents, and you will get exactly 10 points in the pommel horse final at this Olympics," Liang Kun said. The General Administration of Posts and Telecommunications was really prescient! ”

The theme of the fifth piece is "Women's Volleyball". The rules of the women's volleyball team are 12 people, 6 on the court, and 6 substitutes. In any case, it was impossible to squeeze on a stamp, so Liangkun had to ask their captain "Iron Hammer" Lang Ping to sign on their behalf.

The last picture is a female diver, and female athlete Zhou Jihong won the last gold medal for the Chinese diving team in the diving competition, and is the best autograph.

As for the competition event shown in the gold dust printed sheetlet "Going to the World" on the edge paper, it was listed as an official competition for the first time in this Olympic Games, and China only sent four people to participate, including coach Han Guilan, accompanist Zhou Jiasheng, and team members Huang Xianyuan and Wang Xiurong, and Liangkun simply asked them all to sign their names.

Although they didn't get a medal, rhythmic gymnastics, which is more aesthetic and artistic, is very subjective. - Lin Yongjian's daughter is a world-class supermodel, how can this be reasonable? As Guo Degang said: I spent one billion yuan to make a movie, and some people said that it was not as good as playing monkeys, which is quite normal.

After displaying this set of signed commemorative stamps, Liang Kun said to Li Menghua, head of the Chinese Olympic delegation: "When China hosts the Olympic Games by itself, I will donate this set of stamps to let the world once again recall how we Chinese have 'made a splash without making a sound' in the Olympic arena." ”

Li Menghua said with a smile: "Those athletes are all under our control, and I also asked someone to buy a set of stamps and let them sign them, isn't your set useless?" ”

β€”β€”After many dealings, the relationship between Li Menghua and Liangkun is not only the relationship between the leader in charge and the sponsor, but also a joke or two.

Liang Kun said: "Is the point stamps? The point is that we should have our own Olympics. ”

Li Menghua said: "Holding the Olympic Games, this topic is still a little far away from our China, right? ”

"Today we won our first Olympic gold medal, and tomorrow our goal should not be limited to winning more Olympic gold medals, but should be at the level of awarding gold medals, which is a qualitative leap," Liang Kun said. This year's Olympics were held in Los Angeles, and the next Olympics will be held in Seoul. Seoul is in Asia, and we can see how much of a change the Olympics can bring to a city, or even a country. ”

Li Menghua said: "After all, South Korea is the head of the 'Asian Tigers,' and China's economy is not as developed as others. ”

Liangkun smiled: "Don't underestimate the role of the Olympics in promoting the local economy. South Korea is still only a developing country, but the Seoul Olympics will become the starting point of South Korea's rapid economic development. If we can China host the Olympic Games as soon as possible, then it will be a charcoal in the snow, which is of great significance; If we wait until China's economy has taken off and then host the Olympic Games, it will be just icing on the cake, and it cannot be said that it is meaningless, and the meaning will be like that. ”

Li Menghua said: "However, we have no experience in holding large-scale international competitions! ”

Liangkun said: "In order to host the Seoul Olympics, did South Korea bid for the Seoul Asian Games soon? We can also hold an Asian Games to practice our hands first! ”

"Take the Asian Games to practice?" Li Menghua was a little amazed at the courage of the Hong Kong businessman in front of him.

"China is the largest country in Asia. If it is the IOC, there are many countries that dare to challenge China; But at the Asian Olympic Committee, China doesn't say anything? ”

Li Menghua was made to laugh and cry by Liangkun's "arrogance", and said: "First, Asia's is not called the 'Asian Olympic Committee', but the 'Olympic Council of Asia', the full name of which is the 'Olympic Council of Asia'. Second, China's voice in Asian sports is not so important. To put it mildly, we are still very much borrowing from Mr. Lei Yingdong's prestige in the world sports arena, where can we talk about what right to speak? Thanks to his frequent campaigns around the world to reinstate China's legal membership in the world's individual sports organizations. It is precisely with his active mediation and assistance that China has gradually been accepted by FIFA, the International Olympic Committee and other organizations. Speaking of which, Mr. Lin was able to successfully sponsor the Chinese Olympic delegation, and it was Mr. Lei Yingdong who greeted us. ”

The "our side" that Li Menghua said is definitely not the National Sports Commission, but a higher level.

What Liangkun never expected was that Lei Yingdong could actually speak up for his unmasked self, but he was afraid that Lei Yingdong would find the golden road of sponsoring sports, for fear that Lei Yingdong would take it away, and he was really "scared of the pelican". It seems that after returning to Hong Kong, I must find a chance to meet Lei Yingdong for a while. Others are kind to themselves, but they don't know it; I already know, and if I still pretend not to know, I am offending people.

Liangkun restrained the way he had just "pointed out the country and scolded Fang Xuan", and said sincerely to Li Menghua: "Thank you Director Li for your suggestions!" ”

Li Menghua still looked smiling and said, "It's nothing, as long as you live up to Mr. Lei's hard work." ”
