Chapter 553 [552] [Business Operations]

On the Guangdong team, the female swimmers alone took up half of the table.

Although sisters Yang Xiuzhen and Yang Xiuqiong live in Hong Kong, they participated in the competition as Guangdong athletes. In addition, Liu Guizhen, Chen Huanqiong, and Liang Yongxian, who are as famous as Yang Xiuqiong, are all Cantonese. They performed amazingly in this National Games and were collectively called the "Four Outstanding Women in Chinese Swimming".

Yang Xiuqiong suddenly put down her chopsticks and said in a low voice, "Sister, Mr. Zhou is here."

Yang Xiuzhen hurriedly wiped off the oil stains on the corners of her mouth, and arranged her hair specially, sitting upright.

The same is true for the other female athletes at the same table. They are still young girls after all, and they pay great attention to their image. They all dressed up very beautifully for the banquet tonight.

"Mr. Zhou is so handsome, and he is also tall and strong." Liang Yongxian whispered.

Chen Huanqiong immediately teased: "Axian, you are not interested in Mr. Zhou, are you? I can help you."

"Fuck you, you know nonsense." Liang Yongxian blushed.

"Ahem," Liu Guizhen coughed, "Shut up, Mr. Zhou is here!"

Zhou Hexuan came over with a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "Heroines, what are you talking about? You're talking so happily."

Yang Xiuqiong suddenly said, "I'm talking about you, Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Hexuan laughed and said, "So they were whispering bad things about me."

"No, no," Yang Xiuzhen said hastily, "We are praising Mr. Zhou for his charitable donation to sports."

Zhou Hexuan said a few words to several female athletes, and then chatted with the male athletes at the same table, then raised his glass and said, "All athletes, I would like to toast you and wish you better results in the future."

"We also respect Mr. Zhou." Everyone quickly stood up and clinked glasses.

It was only then that Zhou Hexuan discovered that all the female swimmers present were very tall, and all of them had long legs. Even the youngest Yang Xiuqiong is close to 1.7 meters tall, and the tallest Liu Guizhen even exceeds 1.75 meters.

This kind of height is nothing in China in later generations, but it is very rare now, after all, the nutrition of most Chinese people cannot keep up.

Not only that, but their figures are also very good, both strong and slender. Slim refers to the overall feeling, while strong refers to their strong and powerful, and their arms are often much thicker than ordinary adult men.

After Zhou Hexuan clinked glasses with everyone, he warned Yang Xiuqiong: "Miss Yang, you are now the favorite of the media, I hope you will not be affected by this, you must train harder."

Yang Xiuqiong hurriedly said: "Remember Mr. Zhou's teachings."

A writer, a scientist, an athlete, what is most afraid of?

is famous.

After becoming famous, various honors and countless entertainments are waiting for them. As a result, writers have no mind to create, scientists have no energy to do research, and athletes have no time to train. They have stagnated or even regressed since then.

This is especially true for Yang Xiuqiong in history. She will beat competitors from other countries in the Far East Games next year and win four gold medals in the women's swimming event. Her fame and achievements will reach the peak in an instant.

As soon as the Far East Games ended, he was immediately invited back to Nanjing to perform in competitions, and was personally received by Wang Zhaoming. Coupled with Yang Xiuqiong's beautiful appearance, she has since become the darling of the upper class, and she has to attend various banquets every now and then.

Yang Xiuqiong is just a teenage girl, gradually lost in the boundless glory, and spends her training time having fun and socializing. As a result, in the subsequent National Games, he lost the gold medal in the 50-meter freestyle and won zero eggs in the Berlin Olympics.

The consecutive failures finally awakened Yang Xiuqiong, and she re-entered the arduous training and won eight gold medals in the National Games in one fell swoop. Then I met Fan Haer...

What Zhou Hexuan said was just to remind Yang Xiuqiong. He couldn't help turning his head to look at the other table, where the equestrian athlete Tao Boling was eating meat—what a poor guy.

Tao Boling is also very famous, known as "North Country's No. 1 Jockey", and will marry Yang Xiuqiong in four years.

The wedding of the two caused quite a stir. One was the "No. 1 Jockey in the North Country" and the other was the "Mermaid in the South Country".

It's a pity that within half a year of their marriage, Fan Ha'er beat the mandarin ducks with a club and forcibly occupied Yang Xiuqiong.

Alas, help if you can, Zhou Hexuan thought to himself.

...

The next day, morning.

Zhou Hexuan came to visit Wang Zhengting's home and began to discuss the details of forming the national team.

Wang Zhengting took out a plan and said, "Mr. Zhou, I have someone carefully prepare this plan. Due to limited funds, I don't think all projects should be supported. We should focus on cultivating our strong projects."

Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile: "Are there any strong sports in China?"

Wang Zhengting explained: "The so-called strong events are those events that broke the records of the Far East Games in this National Games. For example, men's sprint, such as women's swimming, etc. Only when limited funds are pooled and used can they be held. event."

"This idea is very good, but why not expand the funds?" Zhou Hexuan said.

"Well," Wang Zhengting sighed, "Mr. Zhou, it's not like you don't know that the central government can't invest money in sports. It's really difficult to rely solely on social donations, and financial resources are limited. It's difficult for me to be the president."

Zhou Hexuan smiled and said, "Why not conduct commercial operations?"

"Business operation?" Wang Zhengting was extremely puzzled.

At this time, sports had nothing to do with business. It would take at least two or three years before businessmen thought of advertising and putting trademarks on famous athletes.

Zhou Hexuan explained: "I saw that in the National Games this time, the surrounding fences are all empty, and the athletes' clothing is only printed with the names of their respective provinces and cities. Why can't they advertise?"

"How to advertise?" Wang Zhengting still didn't understand.

Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "For example, next year's North China Games, we can find sponsors in advance. Sponsors will pay for the logo on the fence of the stadium, or on the athletes' uniforms."

Wang Zhengting asked confusedly, "Can this work?"

"Why not?" Zhou Hexuan said, "There are tens of thousands of spectators for a large-scale sports meeting, and many newspapers will report it. Once the advertisement is placed on the spot, it will be very effective for the merchants. Tebi is an advertisement on athletes. , if the athlete wins the award, the reporter will definitely take a picture of receiving the award. If a certain trademark is printed on the clothing, then this trademark will be reported by all newspapers along with the winning photo, what a bargain!"

"It seems to be feasible," Wang Zhengting was a little moved, and said quickly, "Mr. Zhou, please explain in more detail."

Zhou Hexuan said: "You can also ask businessmen to find sports stars as endorsements. For example, for a drink, you can ask Liu Changchun and Yang Xiuqiong to be the endorsers, and tell everyone that the reason why these two athletes won the gold medal is because they drank their drinks. These are business opportunities and a long-term strategy to promote the development of sports, and they must not be wasted!"

Wang Zhengting burst into laughter suddenly: "Haha, Mr. Zhou really has a business mind, no wonder he can make so much money!"

Zhou Hexuan cannot be the "father of China's Olympic Games", but he can certainly be the "father of China's commercial sports".
