Chapter 570 [Super free people, maximize benefits]

Liang Kun witnessed Liu Xiang's injury from close range on the sidelines. This is really unlucky. Drinking cold water can make you stuff your teeth, and he did nothing at all.

In the final preparation, he suddenly stopped his steps before crossing the first railing after starting, and then lay on the track on his back, covering his right leg in pain.

Liu Xiang then told coach Sun Haiping and the doctor that his right ankle and right thigh had some discomfort: "I felt sore in both places, so I couldn't lift my legs."

Because it was suddenly painful and did not fall or hit the railing, Liu Xiang felt that he could recover his injuries in the short term and still hoped to participate in another competition in the United States. But in fact it was not that simple, this was a recurrence of an old injury.

Naturally, Liang Kun became the only hope for the track and field team.

When he appeared, many Chinese and overseas Chinese and international students came to help and cheer for him. They waved the national flag of China and shouted Liang Kun's name.

The American media was surprised by so many Chinese as spectators in track and field competitions. After the qualifiers, the Associated Press lamented that this situation was "really rare". There have never been many spectators in track and field competitions, which shows Liang Kun's position in the minds of Chinese people.

Liu Xiang felt ashamed of his compatriots for his withdrawal from the competition. He specially delivered a speech through the official amplification equipment and apologized for withdrawing from the competition. This kind-hearted move also won warm applause from the audience.

After receiving the understanding of the audience, Liu Xiang was not happy. After examination, it was revealed that this was a recurrence of an Achilles tendon injury. In order to participate in this year's Olympics, he could only choose conservative treatment. But if he did not train during this period and went up to run directly at the beginning of the Olympics, how could he win over the momentum of Robles?

Liu Xiang was still very depressed. Liang Kun replaced his core position in the team, and the heroes were replaced! Seeing Liang Kun win the championship in 400 meters and 800 meters, the Chinese audience was excited in the stands, Liu Xiang felt like he had a blow to the Wuwei Bottle.

Liang Kun's two champions have a high value and became popular before the Olympics began. US 400-meter star Rashaun Merritt and Jeremy Varina both participated in the competition and competed with Liang Kun in the finals.

Varina was the last Olympic champion and achieved a super record of 43.45 seconds in Osaka in 2007. Merritt is also a favorite to win the championship and a rising star with similar strength to Varina.

As a result, both of them were left behind by Liang Kun. Liang Kun ran 43.30 seconds into the final, almost breaking the world record.

After the competition, people think that it will be a matter of time before Liang Kun breaks the 400-meter world record. It is very likely that he has no opponent in this Olympics. He has set a new world record in the 800-meter world. The players who compete with him can only compete for the silver medal and cannot pose a threat to him.

Liang Kun completed two more orange tasks by the way, which were about the results of the competition.

This time, when I went to the United States to participate in the training sessions of two competitions, the Track and Field Management Center hopes that the track and field team can win more championships and increase attention. Liang Kun can attract more attention every time he wins a game, making domestic audiences happy, and symbolizes the rise of China's track and field.

Moreover, his physical fitness has improved again. The rewards related to exercise are often related to physical fitness. This time his strength +1 and his life span +1.

The only thing that makes the Field Management Center unhappy is that Liang Kun’s position in the track and field team will affect Liu Xiang’s commercial value.

Liu Xiang's commercial value has shown a trend of opening high and closing low since winning the Athens Olympics in 2004. His advertising revenue last year was as high as 163 million yuan. I don't know how much this year, and it will definitely decline. If he cannot win the Olympics, the consequences will be unimaginable.

When he won the championship in 2004, Liu Xiang was the pride of Chinese people. Many people believe that it is very difficult to appear such a person in the field of track and field in China in the future. As a result, this year, a best-selling writer who came from Hollywood cross-professions...

Liu Xiang did not hate Liang Kun. He knew very well that Liang Kun was not here to steal his limelight, nor was he snatching advertising endorsements. Liang Kun just wanted to do more for the country at the Olympics at home.

Even if he doesn't participate in track and field competitions, Liang Kun's revenue is higher than Liu Xiang's advertising revenue through other titles. George Armani's global spokesperson is not comparable to other Chinese stars.

Both endorsed Coca-Cola. Liang Kun is the boss of Asian stars, and the endorsement fee is much higher than that of Liu Xiang. Athletes are usually not allowed to drink carbonated drinks, and Liang Kun's endorsement effect is better than that of Liu Xiang. He is not a professional athlete, so he can drink it casually.

There are people who are more anxious than Liu Xiang. Regarding Liu Xiang's commercial development, the distribution policy of the Field Management Center is: athletes get 50%, coaches get 15%, local sports bureaus that train athletes get 20%, and the remaining 15% are extracted by the Field Management Center.

As the unique "money tree" of the track and field team, Liu Xiang must abide by the principle of maximizing collective interests. In fact, after the Athens Olympics, he changed his MSN signature to "super uncontrollably".

In parallel world, Liu Xiang was still shooting advertisements for his sponsors before announcing his retirement. It can be seen that the "money owners" want to squeeze out the final commercial value of him. After 2014, Liu Xiang finally could live the life he wanted, and the track and field team was worried about not finding a new money tree.

Today, Liu Xiang is still unique.

No matter how much endorsement fee Liang Kun has, no one from the track and field team can get the score. Because he is not trained by the Sports Bureau and does not have a special coach, his participation in the competition is like that of Americans, and he is the "super free man" among Chinese athletes.

The leaders of the Field Management Center couldn't control Liang Kun, so they wouldn't let him participate in the competition without giving him a share of money? They might be able to do this. Liang Kun didn't care at all, so they just did something else and announced their retirement the next day.

The leaders who make this decision will be in big trouble. Fans will not care about the distribution of benefits, nor do they know why athletes have to pay half or even more than half of their income to others.

They just want to see Liang Kun win the gold medal and win glory for the country. Anyone who stops Liang Kun from winning glory for the country will definitely make big international news.

After the competition, Liang Kun invited Liu Xiang to a famous restaurant in New York for dinner. He has been to New York many times. As a gourmet, he has eaten in many famous restaurants.

Tasting the top Western food, Liu Xiang smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I really envy you. I do whatever I want, and I am so successful. I don't know what to do next when I am injured."

Liang Kun took a bite of steak. "What else can I do if I recover from my injuries? You are under too much pressure, so you have to relax."

"I can't relax. The news says that if I don't win the Olympics this year, my previous results are meaningless." After Liu Xiang withdrew from the competition, someone online raised this argument.

As early as November last year, some officials said they should strive to ensure that Liu Xiang won the championship, which is a very important gold medal.

Liu Xiang asked: "If it were you, what would you do when you encounter such a thing? I can only treat conservatively now, not high-intensity training."

Liang Kun pondered for a moment, and of course he was not thinking about what to do if he was injured.

He has never been injured, and even if he is injured, he will have recovery potions.

"I think you should announce your injury, to be honest. Then give up the competition completely during this period and do your best after the Olympics begin. If you recover from injury and run a good result, you are a hero. Even if you fail to win the championship, everyone will forgive you if you know you are injured."

Liu Xiang shook his head. "This won't work. How can I win if I don't train?"

"Give everyone a good vaccination in advance, it's better than letting people think you can win the championship and then lose, right?" Liang Kun didn't say he was there, Liu Xiang couldn't withdraw from the game.

He said this kind of thing now, as if he was cursing the other party.

In the parallel world, Liu Xiang was scolded online for withdrawing from the competition, and nothing worse than that.

The main reason why Liang Kun talked to Liu Xiang was that he had not released a red task for treating injuries, and only the red task for defending the 110-meter hurdles in the Olympics.

The injury treatment task is orange, so Liang Kun is not in a hurry to take over it, and only takes over the task of helping Liu Xiang defend his title. He may complete this task. Liu Xiang and Robles are of equal strength. Only when the injury is healed can he have hope of defending the title. Liang Kun has made the greatest contribution.

"I can't get any vaccinations. I'm not the one who decides the injury. The coach means that I will raise it first, and then train appropriately, without the intensity." Liu Xiang said with a wry smile.

"You have already withdrawn from the competition this time, how can you keep it confidential?" Liang Kun asked.

"Eugene appeared on the stage and pretended to be not seriously injured... You will know then. Don't talk about this. The fewer people know, the better." Liu Xiang sighed.

"Don't worry, I'm not a big mouth, eat first. Maybe you'll be well maintained by August?" Liang Kun said with a smile.

Liang Kun will not use potions for Liu Xiang for the time being. As for the reasons behind the team want to keep it confidential, that is their own business.

In fact, this is not difficult to guess, it is just to make Liu Xiang maintain his commercial value before the start of the Olympics. What he represents is not himself, but a huge business chain.

In a parallel world, two days before the Olympic 110-meter hurdles preliminaries began, Liu Xiang was diagnosed with inflammation of his right Achilles tendon. Those insiders had long known that he could not win, but the injury was strictly kept secret, and even his parents did not know about it. He was pushed out when he appeared on the court and was indeed uncontrollably.

After a long round of struggle, the only difference was that the withdrawal from the competition that had been agreed in advance was packaged as Liu Xiang's temporary withdrawal. They also insisted that they did not expect Liu Xiang to be so seriously injured, which aroused the disgust of the audience.

Liang Kun plans to invite Liu Xiang to dinner before the start of the Olympics, and it is best to meet other people in the interest chain. Maybe there is more than one red task at that time, and Liang Kun will make a lot of money by completing it in one breath.

It is easy for him to find Liu Xiang. He often sees him on the track and field team, and he can also call him to make an appointment. As the competition approaches, others must have been in Yanjing.

Today, Liang Kun started to lay the groundwork, asked Liu Xiang what Chinese food he liked, and exchanged some delicious food. He asked what drinks and soups he liked, and then he would add some ingredients.

Liu Xiang didn't realize that forced training would lead to worsening injuries. Now he just can't hurdles and can still walk. What he was worried about was that he would not be able to practice hard before the game and would not be able to win Robles...
