Tennis management center.
Early in the morning, when Director Liu learned of the results from the Australian Open yesterday, he felt extremely depressed.
"Zhang Guan defeated a seed player, so he has entered the third round! This is the third round of the Grand Slam! If this is written in the year-end summary, it would be more dazzling! No, I have to go to the association to find the president to report on this matter. By the way, last time I seemed to ask Old Wu to help me go to the Tian Xie Center to inquire about things. I don't know what happened."
Director Liu picked up the phone and was about to call Old Wu. He only heard the knock on the door. After Director Liu signal him to come in, and Old Wu came in.
"Director, I have inquired about the cause and effect of the last thing you said." Old Wu went on to say, "I would have never thought that this is not easy at all."
"Sit down and talk." Director Liu motioned to Old Wu to sit down, and Old Wu also told Director Liu about the news he heard.
After listening, Director Liu nodded thoughtfully.
"I didn't expect it to be so complicated. Looking at the reasons given by the authorities, I thought it was Zhang Guan who went abroad and did not participate in training in violation of the regulations. It turned out that there was a refusal to accept endorsements. It took a lot of time to block Zhang Guan, and for a long time, some parts could not withstand detailed investigation." Director Liu said to himself.
"Director, I think Director Qu has done something awesome this time. Zhang Guan has broken so many world records and won so many honors in recent years. It can be regarded as a benchmark figure in our domestic sports industry. Then he was banned and then blocked. Now I heard from my comrades that the national track and field team is also panicking, and even athletes are not very careful in training." Old Wu said.
"It's a point to do this, but don't forget that Zhang Guan's advertising endorsement fee is only 300 million yuan a year, and the economic benefit brought by him alone is even greater than that of an entire sports event. If Old Qu can hold Zhang Guan in his hands, wouldn't that mean holding a cash cow?" Director Liu continued, "Now many public officials are willing to bet on themselves for the sake of millions. They will even break the law to achieve this for their future! It is not surprising that Zhang Guan whose net worth is in the billions of units is willing to be ruthless."
Director Liu did not continue to speak very clearly, but Old Wu who was sitting opposite from him knew it. Even for the Qingshui Yamen, the education of the integrity warning once or twice a year has been refined, and it has been refined for many months.
...
In Director Qu's office, it is the overflowing tea aroma.
"Good tea, really good tea!" Director Qu tasted the tea in his hand carefully, his eyes narrowed slightly, a very enjoyable look. Then Director Qu opened his eyes, picked up the delicate tea box on the table, and smiled, and admired it.
Regarding the price, this small box of tea is almost half the salary of Director Qu for half a year. Director Qu is naturally reluctant to buy it for himself. And of course, the bank governor did not send anything to Director Qu in vain.
Last year, Liu Feiren received several endorsements, especially breaking the world record, assaulting several major contracted brands, and the total amount of advertising endorsements was almost 100 million.
This advertising endorsement fee is of course not paid in one lump sum, but once a year. It is at the beginning of the year and it is time for advertisers to call the endorsement fee. According to the rules, advertisers need to send money to the field management center's designated bank account. In other words, during this period of the beginning of the year, various advertisers added up to send tens of millions to the field management center.
Therefore, the bank account designated by the Field Management Center, which bank or branch of the bank the account opening bank becomes an important matter, the decision-making power, of course, is in the hands of Director Qu, so Director Qu drinks after getting the good tea sent by the bank governor, of course, Director Qu can finally get it. Not only is this box of tea so simple, but there will also always be something more practical.
"This tea is fragrant!" Director Qu put down the teacup, patted his seat, and sighed silently, "This seat is so good! Liu Feiren earns less than 100 million yuan a year, so I can have this good tea. If Zhang Guan's endorsement fee of 300 million yuan a year is also in my hands, hehehehe..."
At this moment, Director Qu's phone rang. He looked at the number that appeared to be on the phone and immediately picked it up.
"What! Won again? In the third round!"
The scent on the cheeks became instantly tasteless.
...
Coach Joyce stared at the schedule and said calmly, "Your next round opponent is Nalbandian, an extremely difficult guy to deal with. His backhand is the strongest in the world."
"The strongest backhand in the world? Shouldn't it be Djokovic?" In Zhang Guan's impression, Djokovic's backhand was called "Serbian double-barreled musket", and he said nothing. The future Djokovic can win so many Grand Slam titles, and his strong backhand is also a big help to his victory.
Coach Joyce shook his head, "Djokovic has a strong backhand and may hope to surpass Nalbandian in the future, but I am afraid that he is still a little bit worse. ATP is used to rank the top in the world. The players have done a survey, and the content of the survey is who has the strongest backhand. Some people did choose Djokovic and Safin, but Djokovic and Safin chose Nalbandian, while Federer and Nadal also chose Nalbandian."
"Is there any weakness in Nalbandian? How should I target him." Zhang Guan asked.
"The players who can rank in the top ten in the world very stably cannot find any weaknesses in technique. They can only say that one of their skills is stronger or better at a certain style of play. If you insist on the current one, if there is any weakness in Nalbandian, I think it should be the state of the game! Also, you can use the active volley play to slightly target his backhand." Coach Joyce then said, "In the past few years, Nalbandian was also called the "cow killer". At that time, he gave Federer a five-game losing streak, but last year's Nalbandian was troubled by injuries and his state of decline was more serious. I think this is probably his weakness."
In the tennis world, "cow killer" is specifically for Federer because Federer has a nickname of "cow", so any player who can beat Federer multiple times will be called "cow killer".
Zhang Guan heard this, his brows tightened. Zhang Guan used Federer's experience book, so he was also good at Federer's play. If Nalbandian just restrained Federer, then the next game would be for hard for him, I am afraid it will be a fierce battle!
