On the other side of the ocean, in Los Angeles, USA.
The California sun in July is so intense that it practically melts the asphalt.
However, the intense atmosphere inside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum was more than a hundred times hotter than the blazing sun outside.
Today is the opening ceremony of the 23rd Summer Olympic Games.
For ordinary Chinese people, this can be considered an unprecedented event.
This is because it is the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China that our country has fully participated in the Summer Olympics.
The Olympic fever and sports craze in China also began to sweep the country this year.
The air conditioning in the VIP boxes of this stadium was quite strong.
Lin Huowang, dressed in a dignified Zhongshan suit and holding a glass of champagne, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window, watching the entrance ceremony below with a proud and smug expression.
Seated beside him was Fok Chun-ting, who was also dressed in formal attire, as well as several leaders from our country's sports commission and foreign affairs department.
Of course, Lin Huowang didn't come to the United States alone this time; he brought his whole family with him.
On the other side of the private room, Qian Shujuan, Gong Xue, and other women were leading several teenagers who were already running around, pointing at the lively crowd below and looking on with great curiosity!
Liu Rumeng and Lü Ruirong were dealing with urgent matters in Hong Kong and would arrive two days later.
Keiko Kobayashi wasn't very interested in the Olympics, and with her affairs in Japan becoming increasingly busy, she simply couldn't get away and couldn't come.
"Lin Sheng, look! They're here! It's our team!"
Huo Zhenting suddenly stood up excitedly and shouted, pointing towards the entrance passage.
All that could be heard over the loudspeaker was that word that ignited the passion of all Chinese people—
"CHINA!"
The entire audience erupted in thunderous applause!
This was a spirited team, marching in with synchronized steps into the stadium.
The flag bearer at the very front of the procession is our basketball team captain. He's very tall and has a very imposing presence.
But what truly caught the eye of the tens of thousands of spectators at the venue and the billions watching on television was the attire of the Chinese delegation, who were participating in the Olympics for the first time.
It's no longer the kind of unfashionable sportswear they've stereotyped about.
This time, all the Chinese athletes were wearing stylish red and yellow tracksuits.
On the chest of the sportswear, besides the bright five-star red flag, there is also a shining silver logo, which is a soaring dragon!
That's... the logo of "Dragon Brand"!
"This tracksuit design is so nice! It really invigorates me!"
Looking at the team below, a leader from the sports commission couldn't help but sigh, "Advisor Lin, to be honest, when you insisted on sponsoring the entire set of equipment and even personally designing the style, I was quite hesitant, worried that it might be too fashionable and inappropriate. Now it seems... you were right! Our Chinese athletes must have this kind of spirit!"
Lin Huowang also turned around, smiled, clinked glasses with the leader, and said:
"Boss, this is called 'clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse.' We were poor before, so there was nothing we could do."
Now that we have money in our pockets and can stand tall, we must show the world that we Chinese people not only endure hardship, but also understand beauty and fashion!
"and……"
Lin Huowang smiled and pointed to the huge billboards surrounding the stadium.
Besides foreign brands like Coca-Cola and Kodak, there are also several huge billboards with Chinese and English characters prominently displayed.
【LOONG: Dragon of the East】(Dragon Talisman: Dragon of the East)
Game Boy: Play the World
"Look, our advertisements have even reached the doorstep of Americans. This Olympics is not only an arena for sports competition, but also a fantastic platform for Chinese brands to further expand into the world!"
Huo Zhenting, standing beside him, also gave a thumbs up, saying with admiration, "Mr. Lin, I am truly in awe. These Dragon brand sportswear items are already sold out at Dragon Plaza in Hong Kong! I heard that your distributor in the United States has orders booked until next year?"
"Pretty much. Ever since we started promoting the news a few months ago about the Chinese team's first participation in the Olympics, and had the athletes appear in front of the media wearing this sportswear, it has already sparked a global buying frenzy."
The standards of beauty are the same all over the world, so naturally we should try to satisfy the love of beauty in people all over the world!
Lin Huowang smiled and said, "And we can also make some money from the Americans to give bonuses to our athletes!"
...
However, for this Olympic Games, the Chinese element was not only present in the opening ceremony; on the contrary, the stunning appearance of the opening ceremony was just the beginning.
The real "excitement" didn't come quickly either, erupting on the second day at the shooting range.
In that world-renowned men's slow-fire pistol competition, Xu Haifeng, a previously unknown Chinese man, fired the shot that broke the record of zero Olympic gold medals.
"Bang!"
With the final shot, the bullseye was instantly pierced.
gold medal!
China's first-ever Olympic gold medal!
