Chapter 541 Olympic Rise

Time sometimes grinds by minutes and seconds, and sometimes it turns over in three to five days or three to five days.

It feels like yesterday was still Monday, but today is the weekend.

July 29, 5:30 pm.

The 1984 Olympic Games began, and this Olympic Games is of great significance to the entire country of China.

This is the second Olympic Games that Huaguo has participated in since liberation. Thirty-two years have passed since the last time.

When watching movies and TV, it is best to be alone, no one is chattering around, let alone spoilers, it is good to watch quietly.

But if it's watching the game, that's not the case. The more people there are, the more lively the better.

In the Hutong courtyard in the depths of the flowers, some came early, and some arrived shortly thereafter. Twenty or so people wandered into the courtyard.

Two tables were opened, and everyone sat down to make do.

On the table are the old three dishes of the capital - stir-fried liver, stewed, fried belly, with some peanuts to take away.

There are all kinds of drinks, beer is the main one, some is drunk, and some is drunk.

What Nanyi drank was yellow rice wine. After taking a sip of the wine, and then sipping it, the taste was almost hopeless.

It wasn't time for the opening ceremony, and everyone was eating and drinking casually.

"Xiao Jiang, have you been assigned to the Youth Art Theater?" Nan Yi took a sip of his wine and casually asked Jiang Wen who was sitting next to him.

Jiang Wen twirled the peanuts in his hand, the outer peanut coat was twirled off, and he threw it into his mouth at any time, and said with a smile: "Yes, it has been reported."

Zheng Xiaolong, who was sitting on the other side, spoke up and asked, "What are you doing now?"

"Long Su's "Family Events", if you want tickets to talk, I can get a few." Jiang Wen stared at the TV screen and said casually.

"Nan Batian, I heard that you and your son are making a big fuss?" Wang Suo, who was sitting on Nanyi's right hand, gurgled and poured beer foam into his mouth.

"I don't want to ramble too much today. I was talking about baldness two days ago. Let's talk about it in two days." Nan Yi waved his hand and said, "The Olympics are about to start, let's watch TV first."

As soon as Nanyi's voice fell, the live broadcast of the Olympic Games officially began on TV.

After the boring speaking process, the Olympic Games began. A person wearing a flight suit slowly flew into the stadium, and the words of the crowd in the middle were constantly changing into different words, and finally became the five rings of the Olympic Games.

The program at the opening ceremony was not interesting, it could be said to be a kind of aerobics, and Nan Yi's attention was spent most of the time on the audience stands that were swept away.

For Nanyi, it's a pity that he should be there to witness the day of Xiongqi's rise.

"Which one are we going to enter?" Looking at the TV, Wang Yan couldn't help asking.

"It's still early, we have to perform a show, and the national team's entrance ceremony will begin after the performance." Nan Yi glanced at his watch and said, "Just wait for an hour."

On the TV, the ceremony was proceeding in an orderly manner. Suddenly, a white Kirov airship appeared in the sky. It didn't roar, and it flew past quickly, dragging a colorful flag.

Nanyi looked a little interesting, the pilot just now, now Kirov, should Tanya come out later?

Not to mention, waiting for the college band to enter the venue to perform, Nanyi vaguely saw a woman who looked a bit like Tanya.

Of course, this is an illusion. With the resolution of the TV this time, how could it be possible to see people's faces clearly.

The performance continued, a black female singer sang the first song of the opening ceremony, followed by the Olympic theme song "Reach Out".

"Not to mention, Lao Mei is quite grand." Ge Liuyi opened a bottle of beer and said, pouring a third of the bottle into his stomach.

"Yuko, it's normal. Lao Mei refers to the Olympics to make money. In fact, they did make money."

"Make money? Can the Olympics still make money?"

Wang Yan looked at Nanyi's face in surprise.

"There are exceptions to everything. In the past, they lost money and dragged down the country's finances. But this time, Lao Mei has made money." Nanyi explained casually.

Before the Los Angeles Olympics, all previous Olympic Games lost money. For example, in 1972, Munich spent 1 billion US dollars; in 1976, Montreal spent more than 2 billion; in 1980, Moscow spent more than 9 billion US dollars to host a terrible Olympic Games.

Losing money every time, this makes no city raise placards to compete for the right to host the 23rd Olympic Games. In 1978, when it bid to host the 23rd Olympic Games, Los Angeles was the only one who took advantage of it. There is no doubt that the right to host the Olympic Games In the hands of Los Angeles.

Laomei is more pragmatic. As soon as Los Angeles got the right to host, he went directly to Wall Street and invited a financial expert, Peter Uber Ross, to be the chairman of the organizing committee.

One day, Uber Ross was called to the White House, and President Carter patted him on the shoulder and said, "Damn it, I'm almost there. I don't know if our donkey party will sit here next time. Money, I I won’t give you a cent, you, his grandma, will figure it out on your own, and I will allow you to go to the Elephant Party to ask for money.”

That's it, Uber Ross became the chairman, and the first problem he faced was the source of funding.

Uber Ross really wants to turn the tables. You said that other countries pay for the Olympic Games. Why do you have to find the money when it's your own family's turn?

To put it nicely, it doesn't increase the taxpayer's burden, but his grandma gave me the right to issue lottery tickets. Even if he doesn't give it, his grandma will do it.

Uber Ross complained, but he had to do it, and he had to do it well.

Uberroth's brain is easy to use. He thought of a trick after seven or forty-nine days of retreat at home.

First, go to enter into funding agreements with companies, then sell TV broadcasting rights and game tickets, and then reduce various expenses, make full use of existing facilities, and try not to build sports venues.

He didn't plan to build an Olympic Village, he just rented the dormitories of two universities for athletes to live in, and even the staff were all recruited volunteers, not to mention wages, water and hamburgers had to be paid by the volunteers themselves.

Just begging for things like this, he really managed to organize the Olympics.

At this time, in the stadium on the TV screen, Michael Jackson, who was still dark and dark, appeared and sang "Billie Jean".

This is also the first time that 99% of Chinese people know that there is still this black boy who can sing well in this world.

It can only be said to be okay, the Chinese people at this time don't like Jackson's music style at all.

Moreover, for many people, the only English song they have heard is "Straw Hat Song", and they only like this style of English songs, even if they don't know that "Yes" means "yes" and "No" means "not". , and can sing "The Straw Hat Song" very fluently, even with a black accent.

After riding for more than ten minutes, I finally waited until the end of the performance.

The handover ceremony of the Olympic flag began, escorted by famous athletes from China, and held by Prince Melotti, a member of the Belgian International Olympic Committee.

After the flag was handed over, the Los Angeles Wind Orchestra performed again. After they went down, the national delegation finally entered the venue.

Needless to say, the number one must be Greece, who is the birthplace of others.

"How do you enter the venue in order? Why is Greece the first one?" Ge Liuyi asked curiously.

"Foreigner, the birthplace of the Olympic Games is Greece, who else could be the first one? From the second start, they should be sorted alphabetically." Wang Yan said flauntingly.

"Then our country starts with C, so it should be on the stage soon." Ge Liuyi continued to ask.

"Um!"

The "hmm" came from Nanyi.

With the entry of Canada, Cayman, Zade, Chile and other countries, Nanyi stood up from the stool, wiped off the greasy corners of his mouth, and tidied up his appearance.

As soon as Nanyi was tidy up, the melody of "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention" sounded on the TV. The venue began to boil, and everyone in the small courtyard was inexplicably excited. They followed suit and stood up one by one. Knowing that this is the delegation of their own country is about to enter! ! !

This Olympic Games has a very special meaning for Huaguo. Chinese people began to open their eyes to see the world, and foreigners also began to truly understand Xinhua.

The applause was loud in the venue, especially in the stand closest to the entrance of the delegation passage, where most of the seats were filled with yellow-skinned spectators, all waving red national flags in their hands.

When the commentator at the scene said: "The delegation of the Dragon Hua Kingdom from the East is here..."

In the auditorium closest to the runway, a group of spectators stood up, quickly unfolded pieces of red cloth, and every four people gathered together to form a big character.

There are four words in total, and when you put them together, it means—"Hua Guoxiong rises!"

For the appearance of these four characters, and to ensure that the camera can stay for a while, Wen Changwei paid a lot of price.

"Long live Huaguo!"

There was a uniform shout in the small courtyard!

"Long live Huaguo!"

The whole capital let out a uniform cry!

"Long live Huaguo!"

The whole country of China shouted in unison!

The shouts merged together, went straight into the southern border, and broke down into new shouts over the two mountains - kill, kill, kill!

...

The camera zoomed in, looked past the two short white skirts, and saw a tall and handsome man holding a red flag to take the lead. He was the current No. 1 center in Asia——Wang Libin.

Afterwards, members of the entire national delegation walked out of the entrance of the passage one after another. Men wore uniform blue suits and white trousers; women wore blue suits and white skirts. Through the unclear TV, Nan Yi could "clearly" see the athletes The look of excitement on their faces.

There are 353 members in the Hua Guo delegation, including 225 athletes, which is quite a number. They are slowly walking towards the hearts of every Hua Guo people.

Women come first and then men. At the head of the team is the women's volleyball team led by Iron Hammer, the strongest team in history. Their appearance indicates that the gold medal has already been won.

Then, Nanyi saw Lao Xu, who will win the first gold medal. His grades have been very good. People all over the country know that he can probably win the gold medal. There is also Xiao Li, who is more successful as a businessman than an athlete. The Chinese people also have confidence in him full.

When discussing how many gold medals our country can win in the streets and alleys, these two people are classified as able to win gold medals.

"You guys think, will the women's volleyball team win the championship this time?" Xiao Jiang beside Nanyi asked excitedly.

As far as the ranks of athletes are concerned, of course the women's volleyball team is the biggest. They are the top superstars of the national team this time.

There is also a jingle in the folks - Zhang Haidi cannot be defeated by standing without falling down the iron hammer!

Everyone is waiting for the women's volleyball team to win the Olympic championship, win the third championship after the World Cup championship in 1981 and the championship championship in 1982, and achieve a great feat of three consecutive championships!

The athletes were nervous. Except for the four leading sports officials, no matter whether it was a female athlete or a male athlete, everyone was shaking their hands back and forth, walking in the most formal way for athletes to enter the arena. No one greeted the audience. Xi waved.

When the camera shifted away from the athletes and scanned the four characters "Hua Guo Xiongqi" in the auditorium, it indicated that the entry of Hua Guo was over, and another country became the focus.

"Is this the end?" Ge Liuyi said unsatisfactorily.

Wang Yan spoke up and said: "Don't worry, the official competition will start tomorrow, I'm talking about who, go to the street and buy some shredded potatoes."

"Huanzi, let's change to another one. The one at the street corner. The shredded potatoes are as thin as a finger [hān]. The old gangster in the restaurant can't cook at all. Do you know what she used to do for a living?" Ye Qian, who hadn't said anything all night, said.

"What kind of business?"

"Before Liberation, the kiln girl in No. 1 Bada Hutong was called Xing'er or Xin'er. At the time of the public-private joint venture, she still quietly did the business of half-closed doors. Later, I heard that the recruitment was in the 'all one place', okay? She hasn't learned the craft yet, how dare she open the door to run a restaurant?" Ye Qian said sourly.

"Come on, let me tell you about the weights. My lords, if you want a game machine, I'll do it first, and I'll watch the game tomorrow."

As Nanyi said, he lifted his foot and left the courtyard.

"Come on, Grandpa Nan, please slow down and be careful of the flat bugs on the ground, don't fall."

"Shut up, they all moved here from the south, and they're not natives of the Forty-Nine City. You pretend to be a fart from the old capital, Yuko, you old capital educate them."

"Naughty, my Ge family is not born and bred."

...

"Long live the Huaguo women's volleyball team!"

"Huaguo women's volleyball team rises!"

After the women's volleyball team defeated the Guo Guo team 3-0 in the finals, the entire Hua country immediately fell into a sea of ​​cheers for victory, and the women's volleyball team became the sonorous rose and the most dazzling hero of this era.

There are several sports heroes, but there is only one most popular drink, and that is "Xiong Qi".
