God of Sprint

Chapter 35: World Championship Qualifying Tournament: No Raptors Can Cross the River Part 3

After Zhao Yun finished running, he pointed to the flag of the Flower Planting Country on his chest with a tiger claw gesture as usual, looking extremely proud. The host Li Lu also praised Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun returned to the sidelines to meet up with Wang Xin and others, wiped off the sweat and replenished some energy. He sat on the sidelines waiting for the next group's game.

The competition in the fifth group was very fierce. American teenager Christian Coleman, who had just made his mark in the US track and field, ran a good result, which put a lot of pressure on the famous athlete Trevon Bromell. The two fought from the beginning to the end. In the end, American teenager Christian Coleman ran a time of 10.06 seconds, but lost to American famous athlete Trevon Bromell's time of 10.04 seconds and ranked first and second. Jamaican medicine king Steve Mullins also showed his strong strength and ranked third with a time of 10.07 seconds.

The sixth group had several favorites for the championship, including Jamaican veteran Nesta Carter, American veteran Tyson Gay, and South African star Vaide van Niekerk. This group was full of highlights, and they showed a fierce battle from the start. It felt like a fierce dragon could not cross the river. This group of players put the most pressure on Zhao Yun. There was no big winner until the end. In the end, South African star Vaide van Niekerk won the first place with 10.02 seconds, Jamaican veteran Nesta Carter ran 10.04 seconds to win the second place, and American veteran Tyson Gay ran 10.07 seconds to win the third place.

After watching all the games, I waited for the semi-final list to be announced. Zhao Yun was very happy to see that he entered the semi-finals. The only regret was that Xie Zhenye in the same group did not enter the semi-finals. This time, three players from the Flower Growers entered the semi-finals, namely Su Bingtian, Zhang Peimeng, and Zhao Yun. Japanese player Koike Yuki also entered the semi-finals. This time, four Asian players entered the semi-finals.

"Coach Sun, the semi-finals that are about to be held are still dominated by American players! Five players have entered the semi-finals. Our flower-growing country is also good with three players, and Jamaica also has three players. Moreover, those favorites to win the championship have all performed well and have entered the semi-finals. This semi-final will be a fight between dragons and tigers! Will it be the fierce dragon that crosses the river? Or will our local snake rise strongly?" The host expressed his feelings after hearing the list of the semi-finals.

"In the sprint event, there is still a certain gap between us and the black athletes. We have to face the reality. It is certain that the fierce dragon will cross the river. But our young athletes have also risen. Zhao Yun and Su Bingtian both ran very well. Veteran Zhang Peimeng was not left behind and continued to show his style. We will definitely have a place in the international arena in the future." Sun Ming talked freely.

At this time, Yandu reporter Wang Bing was interviewing Zhang Peimeng, while Beishan local reporter Li Jingjing came to Zhao Yun. After all, Zhang Peimeng had a greater chance of entering the finals than Zhao Yun.

"Zhao Yun, I'm glad to see you make it to the semi-finals. Congratulations!" Li Jingjing's sexy and royal voice came.

"Haha! Thank you!" Zhao Yun answered as he looked at this sexy and intellectual woman.

"Are you afraid of these strong players appearing in the semi-finals?"

"If you are afraid, you are not worthy of being an athlete. The purpose of an athlete is to climb to the top. No matter who my opponent in the semi-finals is, I, Zhao Yun, will get a ticket to the finals." Zhao Yun said shamelessly.

"Then I congratulate you in advance for entering the finals! Haha!" Li Jingjing thought to herself, you have a big head, this is an international arena, you could talk nonsense before, but that was our own home behind closed doors, now talking nonsense will bring shame to the country. Then she thought again that it seemed that this kid's boasting really came true.

"Haha! Okay, I accept your blessing."

After asking a few more questions, Li Jingjing put away the interview equipment. "Come on, I'll treat you to a meal. The last time you interviewed Yang Shu, she became quite famous. But you promised me that you would do an interview for me after the World Championships. You didn't forget that, did you?"

"Look, what are you talking about? I have to prepare for tomorrow's game. During the game, the nutritionist has to prepare my meals. I can't just eat anything. I really want to go eat with you, but the coach won't allow me." Zhao Yun quickly refused.

"I feel like you're just being partial. You can't go back on your word after the World Championships."

"Let's talk about it later. It depends on the coach's arrangements. If the coach allows it, I will definitely keep my promise." Zhao Yun now pushed all the problems to the coach.

Li Jingjing's eyes suddenly became seductive, "You have to think about it carefully, I won't let you work in vain."

"Yeah! I will definitely contact you as soon as I have time." Zhao Yun said vaguely.

"Okay! Then I'll wait for your call. Don't let me down!" Li Jingjing said softly.

Zhao Yun couldn't stand Li Jingjing's soft and slow voice, which was too seductive. He quickly ran to meet Wang Xin and the others.

What Zhao Yun didn't know was that there was an unclear and unpredictable storm waiting for him.

At noon, Zhao Yun went back to the Sports Bureau dormitory, checked his physical condition, and rested after eating.

Zhao Yun took a break, but the Internet was in an uproar. Because Li Lu was the commentator of this game and Huang Jianxiang did not commentate, many viewers went to find out the reason and found out that it caused dissatisfaction among some pro-Japanese elements, so Huang Jianxiang was forced to stop commentating. Many viewers were very dissatisfied after finding out and started to stir up trouble on Weibo.

Someone said, "Why do we have to look at other people's faces when speaking? Are we weak? Can't the flower growers nowadays speak for themselves?"

Some also said, "As an official commentator, you must be professional and not flatter others. That is not professional at all. It is too shameful."

There are also people saying things like "There are seven Calabash Brothers, but only one grandfather." Such insults are low quality. How can a host insult people on live broadcast?

Of course, there are also fans who say, "I just like being their grandfather, so what! If you don't agree, just hold it in. I am his grandfather."

Some fans also said, "I remember that the flower grower stood up! Why did he kneel down again? Has he been kneeling for so long that he doesn't know how to walk upright?"

"Why didn't we see you, Bibi, when we asked our stone lions to salute Tyrant? Now you're jumping out and pretending to be a saint?"

Of course, there are also some traitors who have been injected with funds by foreign capital, and they bring the rhythm to Zhao Yun. First, they want these rhythms to affect Zhao Yun's mentality and make Zhao Yun unable to achieve good results. Second, they want to destroy Zhao Yun's commercial value, so that their foreign capital brand will continue to run sideways and strangle Zhao Yun's commercial value in the cradle.

People on the Internet started to say, "Zhao Yun is too arrogant. Why did he make such a contemptuous gesture?"

"Zhao Yun is not modest at all. He has completely lost the noble qualities of the Chinese people, such as gentleness, courtesy, frugality and modesty."

"The quality of their parents can be seen from their children. The poor and unruly people come from the corners of the mountain villages."

Zhao Yun and Huang Jianxiang took turns to be on the hot search. These rats in the dark and some people who gloated over other people's misfortunes made a lot of noise about this matter.

One of the two comments was that Huang Jianxiang was not qualified to be a host and Zhao Yun was not qualified to be a flower grower. This shows how terrible it is that capital can fool people.

Zhao Yun, who was sleeping, had no idea about these things. Many business giants who wanted to sign a contract with Zhao Yun after seeing the controversy surrounding him remained silent. Of course, they did this on purpose so that they could lower the price when they signed a contract with Zhao Yun in the future.

However, a domestic brand called Huili came to us despite this pressure. It is a brand with deep feelings, but now it is on the verge of bankruptcy. They want to take a gamble on Zhao Yun to see if they can revive.

Moreover, it was the brand owner Jin Mingda who personally came to the scene and found the leader of the Provincial Sports Bureau. After Liu Jinhui met him politely, he sent Jin out of the office and asked Jin to go back and wait for news. Jin Mingda didn't even see Zhao Yun, and he was very unwilling, so he stayed in the hotel next to the Sports Bureau. He planned to go a few more times, hoping to impress the leaders of the Sports Bureau. It would be even better if he could see Zhao Yun and let him lobby again. I believe that relying on my sincerity and eloquence will have a good effect.

After Liu Jinhui sent Jin Mingda away, he called Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was half asleep and felt unhappy when he heard the phone ring. When he saw that it was Liu Jinhui's call, Zhao Yun's anger disappeared immediately. After all, Zhao Yun is now a member of the provincial sports team. Regardless of Zhao Yun's feelings for Liu Qin, Zhao Yun must respect the jurisdiction! After all, he is the boss!

"Hey! Leader!" Zhao Yun quickly flattered him after answering the phone.

"Haha! What's the point of calling me leader? Do you have any training mission now?"

"no!"

"If not, please come to my office immediately. I have something to discuss with you."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Zhao Yun put on his clothes and hurried to Liu Jinhui's office.

When they reached the door and knocked, Liu Jinhui called Zhao Yun in. When he entered, Liu Jinhui was reviewing documents, pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Sit down first, I'll be done soon."

After Zhao Yun sat down, he looked at Liu Jinhui, who looked very charming. He was particularly attractive when working. "I wish I could be as charming as him." Zhao Yun thought.

Just as Zhao Yun was daydreaming, Liu Jinhui finished his work. He came over with a bottle of sports drink and put it in front of Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun was about to stand up, but Liu Jinhui held him down. "Don't be so restrained."

"I asked you to come here because a company wants to sign a contract with you. I came to ask for your opinion.

Do you prefer to sign contracts with foreign brands or local brands? "

"I don't really understand these things, but I really want to sign a contract with a local brand because I want my own brand to develop better."

"Yes! There is a pattern. In fact, there are two situations when a commercial brand cooperates with an individual. One is that a big brand cooperates with an individual, which is a win-win situation. Big brands have their own interpersonal relationships, business operations and strong media public relations capabilities, which will make you more commercially valuable and exposed. Of course, they will also make more money because of your joining.

The other type is a general brand that relies on your personal fame to quickly rise. They don’t have much power to help you get rid of some negative things. This type of brand is just attached to you but can’t help you. In addition, I remind you that most of the first type is foreign capital. In this case, which of the two types do you choose? "

Liu Jinhui looked at Zhao Yun quietly after he finished speaking. Zhao Yun fell into deep thought. This was also the first time he encountered such a situation and he was at a loss for a moment.

After a while, Liu Jinhui reminded Zhao Yun that you can discuss it with your parents and ask for their opinions.

Zhao Yun nodded and went out to call his father and told him what Liu Jinhui had said.

Zhao Yiming was silent for a while and said, "Son, you are actually in a misunderstanding. Why do you choose the best and the worst? You can choose a domestic brand that is not the best but is similar. You can also choose both!"

"Choose both?" Zhao Yun was stunned after hearing this.

"Yes! You want to contribute to local brands, which is not a conflict, but what if domestic brands don't have this? You can use a non-domestic brand to expand its popularity and marketing, and then add your popularity to the domestic brand? In this way, there will be no conflict."

Zhao Yun suddenly became cheerful after hearing his father's words. "I understand! I know what to choose."

"Well! Call me if you have anything else!"

"Ok!"

After Zhao Yun returned to Liu Jinhui's office and sat down, Liu Jinhui looked at Zhao Yun's face and knew that he had made a decision. "Do you know what to choose?"

"Leader, I know how to choose!"

"tell me the story!"

"I want to endorse suits such as Armani, Dior and other brands that China has no way to go abroad and compete with them. And then I will choose domestic sports brands!" Zhao Yun knew about these foreign brands after seeing Manman's clothes, and Manman introduced them to him.

"I may not express myself well, can you understand me?"

"Hahaha! Got it! I understand exactly what I heard."

"You are right to do so! Let me tell you about a local brand that came to see me today. The CEO of Huili came today, and I asked him to go back and wait for news. What do you think of this brand?"

"Hui Li? This brand is rarely seen on the streets nowadays!"

"Indeed! A few years ago, this brand was very well-known. Many well-known athletes in our country have endorsed it. In recent years, the living conditions of Chinese people have become better and better. In addition, foreign sports brands have begun to take the low-price route, which has made domestic brands fall behind. But this is a brand with very good quality and sincerity."

"Well! Leader, just help me choose."

"I'm not sure about that either. I'll have to ask my colleagues in the investment department to help you check it out. If you think it's okay, we'll negotiate with them after we sign the foreign company. The contract will definitely give you the biggest bonus, and it would be best if we can help you get some shares or something. We won't take a cut of your shares, but we can take a cut from your endorsement fee. How do you think?"

"Okay, let's do as you say." Zhao Yun nodded.

"Then I will let the investment department help you contact foreign capital according to your idea. I will definitely not let you go against your conscience. This is my promise to you as an elder."

"Okay! Thank you, leader!"

"Okay! That's fine. You must not contact the CEO of Huili privately. After all, although we support local brands, we cannot let ourselves suffer too much. If we contact them in advance, with your experience, you will definitely not be a match for these old hands. He will see the signs and affect the quotation. When we sign a contract with a foreign brand and our value increases, we can contact him again."

"Okay! I understand."

"Okay! OK, you can go back now."

After Zhao Yun returned, he told Wang Xin about his meeting with Liu Jinhui. Wang Xin said, "Well! Just listen to your leader! It won't do you any harm. He is really an old fox. People in the officialdom say that he has eight hundred tricks, but I think that's an understatement."

After hearing this, Zhao Yun didn't dare to say anything, for fear that Liu Qin would find out that he had said bad things about her father.
