Chapter 29 The first game
The relationship with Xu Chen Aifen has changed from the principal and the student to Aunt Chen and her nephew, but it still lacks the most important interest relationship.
However, as long as this investment is successful, she will probably pay more attention to the relationship between the two.
At school, Zhao Shanhe did not tell anyone about this. He still communicated with his classmates in a friendly manner and trained hard according to his own attitude.
On December 8, Zhao Shanhe's new passport was engraved with a visa for the first time, and entered the most developed country in the world that is now clamoring to buy the world.
At this time, Japan's economy was really strong. From the mid-80s to the mid-1990s, the GDP average of a small country in Japan reached more than 60% of that of the United States.
In the highest 1995 years, Japan's GDP was 71% of the United States' GDP.
The number of people in Japan is only one-third of that in the United States, and the per capita GDP is much higher than that in the United States.
Of course, because I don’t know the big and big kings, everyone knows the final result.
When leaving the warm and springy Xiangjiang River, everyone was still wearing short-sleeved sleeves, but before they got off the plane, they saw snowflakes dancing all over the sky.
Zhao Shanhe also bought a sweater and thick pants specifically. As for the jacket, it has winter sportswear sponsored by Adidas.
Xiangjiang's Sports Association has always been sponsored by Adidas, with no endorsement fees and only providing sportswear, and the requirements are relatively strict.
Only athletes who meet international athlete standards can wear other sports products such as their free clothing and shoes.
Therefore, there are almost not many people in Xiangjiang who can enjoy this treatment.
The only exception is the Football Association, where all their players enjoy free clothes.
Zhao Shanhe only received sponsorships with outstanding results, without a penny of endorsement fees.
However, Zhao Shanhe didn't care, after all, he has no achievements yet.
The only ones who came with Zhao Shanhe were coach Wilson, and Meng Yufei, a liaison officer of the Sports Federation, who knew Japanese and was responsible for arranging the itinerary.
The formation is very shabby, because except for Zhao Shanhe, no swimmer in Xiangjiang can reach the national level now.
The scale of this invitational tournament is not large. When Zhao Shanhe and his team arrived at Osaka International Airport, they were picked up by a Honda Accord arranged by the organizing committee.
In the 1980s, Accord was much better-selling than Gamma, and has been the sales champion of B-class cars in the US for more than ten consecutive years.
Everyone didn't care about the car, and they got into the car one by one, which was so cold.
Wilson was very worried because Zhao Shanhe was born in the subtropical zone, and this was the first time in his life that he left Xiangjiang and went to the northern temperate zone, and he saw snow for the first time.
In such cold weather, I don’t know how strong he can exert.
Zhao Shanhe was not at all unfamiliar with it. According to dimensions, the dimension here happened to be similar to his hometown.
The airport is more than 60 kilometers away from Kyoto, but due to snow and the roads are crowded, it took two hours to drive to the hotel arranged by the organizing committee.
The hotel is located in Nishikyo, less than one kilometer from the competition Yak Stadium.
The main athletes who came to participate in the competition were Japan, accounting for 60% of the athletes. The others were only athletes from some countries in Southeast Asia and West Asia, and there was no one in Central Asia.
However, no matter how few other people have teams, they have more than the ones he represents.
Athletes from other countries couldn't help but feel funny when they saw that Zhao Shanhe had only one bachelor.
Because it is just an invitational tournament, it has nothing to do with points or qualifications, Chinese athletes did not come here.
At this time, the economy was still relatively backward, and it was not a regular competition, so basically I would not attend.
On the first day of Zhao Shanhe arrived, he bought an extended down jacket worth nearly 4,000 Hong Kong dollars, and bought a Kyoto-style Silk silk for his mother, Xiaoshu, and Grandma Su each, which consumed all the 5,000 Hong Kong dollars he brought.
He was embarrassed to borrow money from Wilson, so he simply stopped going out. Anyway, the hotel offers athletes' buffets, and it doesn't cost money to eat and stay.
Yake Stadium is a very advanced gymnasium in this era. The swimming pool has complete facilities, a constant temperature swimming pool, springboard and jumping platform.
The sports hall was already open two days before the competition. All athletes were familiar with the venue, familiar with the temperature and water temperature, and adjusted their bodies through exercise to adapt to the gap here.
The gymnasium is full of heating, but the athletes still wear thick coats, which is to keep the muscles hot and not stiff due to the cold.
Not to mention winter, even in summer games, you have to wear a jacket and take it off when you go into the water.
Because the training time is too short, Zhao Shanhe only had time to sign up for the freestyle competition this time, but his breaststroke now has the national level of athletic athlete.
Especially before this time, he obtained another skill point. After he used it to enhance his physique, his speed will definitely increase a little.
The freestyle competition was the earliest event to start. Zhao Shanhe signed up for 50 meters, 100 meters and 200 meters.
Four hundred meters, eight hundred meters, and one thousand five hundred meters are not because of poor results, but because the competition was arranged too tightly. With diving competitions and synchronized swimming, it only took four days, so there was no extra time to adjust.
Moreover, there are only two rounds of each game, one round of preliminaries, and then the finals, without the rematch level.
On the morning of the first day of the competition, Zhao Shanhe shocked everyone. Whether it was fifty meters, one hundred meters or two hundred meters, Zhao Shanhe was far ahead.
His speed is simply a crushing transcendence compared to other athletes.
In the preliminary round, he scored 22 seconds 05, 50 seconds 98, and 1 minute 46 seconds respectively, both of which broke the Asian record.
As soon as the score came out, the gymnasium was immediately shocked, and the score was subsequently notarized by the Asian Swimming Federation.
Unfortunately, because it is not an international competition, there is no bonus if the record is broken.
On the first night of the competition, Zhao Shanhe watched his favorite synchronized swimming competition.
Today's Japanese women's synchronized swimming team is one of the top three in the world, especially the girl named Tokiko Kotani in the team, which is very consistent with his aesthetic sense.
It's just a pity that he doesn't know a word of Japanese.
None of the other female athletes who took the initiative to come to him could touch him, and in the end he could only be honest.
Because of high-intensity physical training, each athlete has a better quality than ordinary people, and (star fields) than ordinary people.
For ordinary people, once a few days is the norm, but it is common for athletes to spend several times a day.
It is not a sports event that needs to be maintained at the extreme state, and coaches from all countries will not be too restricted. As long as it is not (finally), appropriately (star fields) can also adjust the human body state.
Otherwise, every Olympic Games would consume hundreds of thousands of condoms. Where did you go?
Unfortunately, don’t think about this competition. The time is too short and the beauty resources are too few.
On the afternoon of the second day of the game, Zhao Shanhe won the first place in three finals without any danger, and broke his own record in one hundred meters, increasing the Asian record to 50 seconds 06.
This result is close to the world record, only one second slower than the world record set by star Matt Biondi this year.
Of course, for most people, the last second may be a gully that they will never be able to cross in their entire lives.
He won three championships, but there were no gold medals. Only the organizing committee customized trophys and certificates through the Asian Swimming Federation.
Although there was no material gain in this competition, Zhao Shanhe also gained more knowledge about the process of swimming competitions and the rhythm of the competition.
Of course, I also met a group of Asian athletes and became familiar with each other.
It is impossible to have a good relationship, and everyone male athletes regard him as their biggest opponent.
However, the female athlete later found a few good ones.
Unfortunately, on the third day of the game, he returned home.
After Meng Yufei arrived in Japan, he caught a severe cold due to the cold. At this time, he did not dare to let him contact Zhao Shanhe or contact other athletes, so he was arranged to be in another hotel.
I am not familiar with the place here, I can’t understand my words, and I have no money. As soon as I contacted the Xiangjiang Sports Association, I went home in advance.
When they came back, they were still silent. These champions had no weight and the outside world didn't know at all.
However, this is not without any effect, and at least it enhances the confidence of the Sports Federation.
After returning, the Sports Federation allocated another 100,000 Hong Kong dollars to Zhao Shanhe's team. Zhao Shanhe will train in the future and will also receive a monthly training bonus of 5,000 yuan.
At the same time, the Sports Federation actively communicated with the organizing committee of the 1986 Spanish Swimming World Championships and the 1986 Asian Games to register for Zhao Shanhe.
Xiangjiang has a poor sports foundation, which is also beneficial. As long as the results are good and there is no competition at all, you can participate in various competitions.
Of course, if the results are really not good, sports will not embarrass you, let alone sponsor your food, clothing, housing and transportation.
After returning from Japan, Zhao Shanhe was surprised.
Adidas' Xiangjiang Contact Office learned about Zhao Shanhe's achievements and took him to the hospital for a check-up. He knew that he did not take any medication and immediately reached a sponsorship with him.
The day before Christmas, after a week of consultations, Zhao Shanhe and Adidas signed a full-sports series endorsement.
The endorsement required Zhao Shanhe to shoot a set of print advertisements and a TV advertisement, which was specially designed for Asian regional broadcasts and billboard arrangements.
However, this was still in the 1980s, and the endorsement fee was not much. The contract was signed for two years, with a year of 50,000 US dollars per year.
In 1983, the Hong Kong government determined that the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar was fixed in the range of 1 to 7.80, allowing only single digit adjustments.
The 50,000 US dollars is nearly 380,000 Hong Kong dollars. According to the current prices, you can buy a 40-square-meter house in Hong Kong.
However, Zhao Shanhe has not yet been included in the plan for buying a house. If you want to buy it, you must buy a luxury house.
Zhao Shanhe was not prepared to file taxes directly, and he waited until the end of March to file taxes, and prepared to invest all the money in the stock market.
According to the tax rate in Xiangjiang, the maximum personal income tax is 15%, and then the cost of living, housing costs, and supporting parents must be deducted. In fact, he has to pay a tax of 11.6%.
Today, Zhao Shanhe can be considered a rich man in Xiangjiang.
