On the day Zhang Guan visited Moscow, the Tian Association also held a small internal meeting.
A day ago, a major event occurred in sports, the swimming center decided to expel the diving prince from the national team, the main reason is that he used the agent without permission. The other diving queen was only criticized verbally because she was on the cliff at the time.
The unauthorized use of brokers sounds like a very strange reason, but it reveals the determination of the swimming association. In terms of the commercial agency of athletes, the swimming association shows a gesture of never compromising, even if it is very intense and extreme methods.
Among the domestic Olympic champion athletes, they have agents like Zhang Guan. It's not uncommon for guns to shoot head birds, especially Zhang Guan's bird, which has a long head, not only has a full team of brokers but also signed several large endorsements. And advertising, if no one is jealous, it is abnormal.
In the meeting room, President Qu said excitedly, "I think the swimming association's approach is correct. Athletes are the assets of the country. Their right to use commercial value should belong to the association. Unauthorized use of brokers is for superiors. The disobedience should be punished for athletes who are disobedient and disobedient to superiors. We also have such athletes in our track and field team, and not only use agents without authorization but also form a team of agents! The character is even worse and more serious, it 's really ridiculous! The swimming association has set an example for other associations, so I suggest that our association should regain the right to develop the commercial value of athletes."
Although Chairman Qu did not name the Taoist surname, everyone knows that Chairman Qu said, Zhang Guan. Including the chairman, everyone did not object, and of course, did not agree, but everyone knows that the swimming association's approach did allow Chairman Qu to find the basis. Decision-making based on the precedents of superiors or units at the same level is a very safe thing for public officials. If you do it right, the credit is yours; if you do it wrong, the main responsibility is someone else's. It's like the person who helped the person, whether or not he hit it, but the sentence "Why don't you hit it?" It will be used as a reference for similar cases in the future, even if it is wrong. It is very clean to push the responsibility because there have been similar judgments before, the latter just follow the precedent.
Director Luo is more biased towards Zhang Guan, and he also hopes to use Zhang Guan to explore a new way of commercializing athletes. But at this time he felt that things became very passive. So Director Luo said, "I don't think it's appropriate to take back Zhang Guan's business value development rights. This is after all the meaning of the leadership in the bureau, and the leadership has signed it personally. We have to implement the leadership's instructions."
"That was the instruction of the previous leader." Director Qu immediately retorted: "The swimming association's punishment decision must have asked the leader of the bureau, and there was no objection in the bureau, indicating that the current leader still respects the swimming association's decision. And I think although there is no clear text, the punishment of the swimming association feels that it explained the previous opinion from one side, and also pointed out the direction of the next work for our associations."
Director Luo frowned slightly. The last director Hou retired in December last year, but the organization did not directly promote personnel from the bureau or the sports system but chose one of the reserve cadre systems. Comrades served as the new director. This new director has not only worked at the upper level, but also has a lot of grass-roots work experience, and his ability is very outstanding, and he is also responsible for the next capital Olympics. However, the new director has just been in office for more than a month and should now sort out the work at hand.
It is a normal phenomenon for people to take tea and cool, both inside and outside the system. If the original leadership is promoted, the policy should continue, and if the original leader retires, everyone understands it. President Qu grasped this point and puts pressure on everyone.
"But before that, we had signed a contract with Zhang Guan's agent team. If Zhang Guan's commercial development rights were recovered, his agent team could take the legal route. From a legal point of view, we do not account for proactive. This kind of breach of contract has a great influence on the association's image." Director Luo said.
President Qu already prepared the answer, he said: "We just asked Zhang Guan to take back the right to commercial development, he will take the initiative to promise us, so that it is not a breach of contract, and it does not involve legal issues."
"How could Zhang Guan agree!" Director Luo showed a "you want more" expression, but then he immediately realized that President Qu had something to say.
Sure enough, I saw President Qu said: "If Zhang Guan does not agree, we can punish him, such as suspension for a while, or refer to the swimming association, do not retain his national team qualifications until he agrees to us."
"It's referring to the swimming association again!" Director Luo was very upset when he heard these words, so he fell silent.
Seeing Director Luo no longer object, the color of victory flashed in President Qu's eyes, and then he decided to take advantage of the victory. Today, this meeting will give this matter, so President Qu then said: "I see we can now talk to Zhang Guan, let it be a notice to him, and make it clear to him that if he still insists on acting alone and disobeying his superiors, he will be punished."
Director Luo suddenly remembered something and asked, "How does President Qu think about it? Is it a face-to-face interview? Or is it on the phone?"
"Of course I talked to him face-to-face! How can this important thing be said on the phone, that is too informal. I think I have to send a secretary, and the main content of the conversation is also recorded to prove that our work is "It's done well." President Qu said, and after President Qu finished speaking, he found Director Luo's eyes narrowed slightly, a calm look, which made President Qu a little puzzled and even felt a little bad, he has foreseen that Director Luo must have a move.
I saw Director Luo said, "President Qu may have to wait for a while, but I am afraid you can't talk to Zhang Guan now."
"Why?" President Qu asked immediately.
"Zhang Guan went abroad to compete." Director Luo turned over his notebook, pretending to be looking for a job record, and then said: "Zhang Guan is now in Moscow, participating in the Moscow indoor track and field competition."
"Moscow? How did he run so far? How could he be allowed to go abroad!" President Qu asked immediately.
Director Luo said slowly: "A few days ago, Zhang Guan applied to the center, saying that he has not participated in the competition for too long so the state of his competitiveness will decrease. "
"Go abroad to find his competitiveness? How could it be so coincident! Shouldn't you deliberately find an excuse to hide it!" President Qu thought secretly, but couldn't say it on his mouth, he then asked: "What about Liu Feiren?" Has he gone abroad to find his competitiveness?"
"This is not true." Director Luo shook his head: "Liu Feiren's condition should be maintained very well. I will also explain to you about this issue. Liu Feiren has participated in many competitions over the years and has accumulated a lot more game experience and is much stronger than that of Zhang Guan in maintaining a competitive state. Zhang Guan has only had less than two years of professional sports training after all and has participated in very few competitions. One palm is counted, so there is something lacking in maintaining the competitive state. The point of how to maintain a competitive state is imminent. This is a matter of experience. It must be improved through a certain amount of time and a lot of competition. "
The chairman sitting in the middle nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Director Luo's explanation.
"What about the funding? I am afraid that Zhang Guan's trip to Europe will cost a lot! Our funding is so tight now that we need money everywhere. This year's budget for many competitions has exceeded the standard. Even if we keep the competitive state, You can find some nearer places instead of going far to Europe!" President Qu questioned immediately, feeling that he had caught a crucial issue.
"Zhang Guan is participating at his own expense, without spending the money from the center." Director Luo looked at the notebook in his hand again and then said, "And Zhang Guan holds the world record and participates in many small and medium-sized events. If you pay the playing fee, according to the regulations, you must pay 15% of the playing fee as the association development fund, so this time Zhang Guan went out to play, not only will not spend a cent of the center but should also pay some development funds, which also can solve the problem of shortage of funds to a certain extent."
Director Luo's remarks made President Qu completely lose his temper, but he still didn't give up, but said, "When will that crown come back? To dissolve the broker team, we can wait for him to come back and talk to him again! "
At this moment, the door of the conference room was opened, and the office director came in. He nodded to the leaders present, and then walked to the chairman, handed a document to the chairman, and attached it to the chairman. He whispered a report in his ear, and from the expression of the chairman's brows, it was probably a delightful good thing.
After reporting, the head of the office stood aside, and then the president cleared his throat and said, "There is good news here to tell everyone that in the Moscow track and field indoor competition held yesterday, Zhang Guan scored 6.38 seconds. Won the championship and broke the men's 60m sprint world record! "
"Break another world record!" President Qu's face was shocked, and Director Luo smiled happily.
The president continued, "Next, Zhang Guan will also go to Germany to compete. At this time, we don't want to distract the athletes. The other things should be delayed. Let Zhang Guan play well and win the championship. Show the heroic style of our Chinese athletes in front of the world! "
President Qu suddenly felt like a deflated ball, and he knew what he had just said was in vain!
