Director Qu looked at the wall clock on the wall and found that it was almost time, so he was ready to get up and go to the meeting room.
Today he convened this meeting. The main topic discussed at the meeting was to kick Zhang Guan out of the national team.
Just when Director Qu was just preparing to go to the office, the phone on the desk rang, and Director Qu stretched his head and looked, it turned out to be a call from the president. So Director Qu immediately picked up the receiver.
"Yes, President, it's me!" Director Qu replied.
On the other side of the phone, the chairman said, "I saw the news about Zhang Guan yesterday, he won the Australian Open. You should know this!"
"I also watch the news." Director Qu snorted, and then said, "This Zhang Guan is unorganized and undisciplined. He is a track and field athlete, he did not participate in track and field training, but went to play tennis! I was preparing for a meeting to discuss whether or not to kick this kind of athlete who does not obey the management out of our national team!"
"What? Kick Zhang Guan out of the national team?" Next second, the president said decisively, "No! Absolutely no! The association will never approve."
"President, I know that Zhang Guan is very famous and has some public influence, but the effect of continuing to keep him in the team is too bad. Previously, he did not obey the management of the center and did not participate in training and went abroad privately. Discipline rules have been violated, which is also a bad example for the team. Now he went to win a tennis championship. If the other players on the team also learn from him, they will also go to other sports. Then this track and field team can't take it! And not only our track and field events, if other athletes also learn from Zhang Guan, playing table tennis to play badminton, playing badminton to play football, playing football to play basketball, then our entire sports industry will be messed up!" Director Qu said verbally.
"Zhang Guan is the only case, he has a certain specialty! Can every athlete have the ability to be like Zhang Guan?" The president said.
"That's not necessary! With such a large population in our country, we can produce another Zhang Guan, maybe a second!" Director Qu argued.
The chairman was a little dissatisfied with Director Qu's "lifting bar". He was slightly dissatisfied and said, "Besides, Zhang Guan also has to hand over tens of millions of development funds to the Association every year. If you expel him from the national team, then who should bear the tens of millions of losses?"
"Well..." Director Qu suddenly hesitated.
The association's annual funding is also quite limited. Additional tens of millions of additional development funds a year can allow the entire association to live comfortably from the upside-down, run competitions, buy training equipment, engage in training, improve athletes' meals, etc. No need to worry about money. If Zhang Guan was kicked out of the national team, Zhang Guan would not have to perform the duties of an athlete of the national team, and the share of advertising endorsement fees would not be paid. Without such a large amount of income, it is tantamount to offending the entire association. If this kind of offending public anger is committed, if Director Qu does it, he may become unstable.
"Why have I forgotten about the development fund!" Director Qu put down the phone, his face somber and uncertain, if he did not find Zhang Guan some trouble, Director Qu really felt unwilling, but Zhang Guan would not directly play with my network management center now. Running to play tennis on his own, Director Qu just wanted to trouble Zhang Guan, and there was no way.
After a while, Director Qu gritted his teeth, and finally picked up the phone, dialed a number, and said with some depression, "Notice, today's meeting is canceled."
On the other side, after the president hung up the phone, his face was also sullen.
"You're going to expel Zhang Guan from the national team! Does this Old Qu think he's the only one in charge of the field management center alone? Have you ever taken the association into account? Some people, once they have a few powers in their hands, they seem to have forgotten who their real dad is!" The chairman took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "Perhaps he is really not suitable for this position."
...
Tennis management center.
Director Liu walked into the reception room, and He Yiming had already waited for a long time again.
"Mr. He! I haven't seen you for a long time!" Director Liu immediately stepped forward to say hello, and then both sides sat down.
"Director Liu, I will go to the Three Treasure Halls without incident!" He Yiming reached into his arms and took out a thin piece of paper and handed it to Director Liu.
Director Liu took it and saw that it was a cheque. After careful counting, it turned out to be a seven-digit number.
Director Liu's complexion instantly dimmed, and there was even more anger in his eyes. Then he asked a little seriously, "General He, what do you mean?"
He Yiming's expression didn't change, he said, "Director Liu, you guys want to issue a receipt to your tennis center!"
"Receipt?" Director Liu didn't understand it for a while.
He Yiming only explained, "Zhang Guan won the Australian Open this time and won a lot of bonuses. According to the rules, 30% of the tennis development fund and 10% of the national sports security fund are in it! The bonus is AUD, but according to the exchange rate of the previous trading day, it has been exchanged into national currency."
"Ah?" Director Liu knew that he had misunderstood the meaning of He Yiming. He thought for a few seconds before reacting, and then looked at the number on the check, not knowing what to say.
"What day is it today, someone will send money to work! With such a large sum of money, don't worry about the athletes' funding for this year's competition!" Director Liu's face suddenly filled with a smile.
"Mr. He, you are so polite! It's embarrassing to say that Zhang Guan won glory for the country in Australia. Our tennis center did nothing. Now you guys have to pay for it. I feel sorry for myself!" Director Liu said so, but he held the check tightly in both hands as if he was afraid of the long wings of the check flying away.
"Director Liu no need to say anything!" Yiming continued, "The funds of various domestic sports associations are very tight. As an athlete, Zhang Guan must of course contribute to the country. Of course, the prize money of this game should be turned in. Hand in. Just..."
He Yiming stopped the speech suddenly, and Director Liu also realized that He Yiming must be in the language, so he asked in a very cooperative way, "What is it?"
"It's just that Zhang Guan's advertising endorsement fee may not be paid to the tennis center for a while. I have to apologize to you!" He Yiming said.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Zhang Guan turned in part of the game bonus as a sports development fund, I am already very satisfied!" Director Liu said here, but found that He Yiming looked at himself with a smile, Director Liu only found out that he may be wrong, He Yiming was not expressing "apology" at all, but was waiting for himself to ask "why" again.
"Why?" Director Liu immediately asked very interestingly.
"In addition to being a professional tennis player, Zhang Guan is also a track and field athlete. In the past, all bonuses and advertising endorsements were paid to the Athletics Association. There is now an additional tennis ball, so it may be a little difficult to define." He Yiming took the teacup in his hand and drank it halfway. Then he said, "fortunately, the prize money for the game is tennis, and the prize money for the track and field competition is for the track and field, but this advertising endorsement fee, is it counted as tennis or as track and field?"
