Chapter 79: Winning the Olympic Village, all those who came to participate in the Olympics...
In the Olympic Village, all the athletes who came to participate in the Olympics started their day's exercise. No matter when or where they are, they can never relax.
Li Daohua found the embassy and then contacted the person in charge of the Chinese sports team through the embassy.
"sponsor?"
"Yes, we sponsor all kinds of things. As long as you can use them, we will sponsor them, such as clothes, towels, backpacks..."
When they came, they came with huge bags, and everything had a display item or two.
These things were all things that Ouyang and his team had inspected on site when they were driving cars around the country, and some of them had even been used at home to be confirmed as being useful.
Of course, the best one is the one that Li Daohua said was good after using it.
Nowadays, many people use things with the belief that as long as it works, it's fine, without asking for it to be too good.
Ouyang Yuan discovered that whenever his wife used something, she would always be able to casually point out a few of the thing's shortcomings.
He didn't take it seriously at first, but later when he was meeting with a factory, he mentioned it as a joke, and the factory took it seriously.
When I went to buy the goods again later, the shortcomings had been reduced a lot. Because of this, the brand's reputation gradually became known, and everyone felt that its products were better.
Sometimes, the shortcomings of some products cannot be discovered by the manufacturers and have to be discovered by the users. Many convenient and practical things in later generations are actually discovered through exploration from generation to generation.
After using these convenient and practical things, it is easy to find the difference between the two when you go back to using the old models.
"This...our clothes are all prepared uniforms and cannot be changed."
The embassy staff had told Li Daohua about this before they came, but Li Daohua just didn't believe it and insisted on giving it a try.
"If we don't have clothes, we still have other things that can be used, especially backpacks, which are very practical. When we return home, we can put the things we bought in them."
Apart from clothes, other things are indeed practical, and given his position, he can decide whether to use them or not.
“Can I ask why you must sponsor?”
"Well... the official point is that as a member of the country, we also want to contribute. To be honest, these things all have our company's logo, which can be regarded as advertising."
Everyone was silent. When they met, the first thing they did was to introduce each other, so everyone knew that this was Li Daohua, the Li Daohua who had written many excellent works.
At this moment, I can only say that Li Daohua is worthy of being the one who wrote the reform trilogy. In terms of market economy, she is indeed at the forefront.
"Look, the Spring Festival Gala has sponsorship, so how can our Olympic athletes not have sponsorship? This is mutually beneficial."
"How can this be the same? You have too much stuff, and it's hard for us to collect it."
The things Li Daohua and her friends prepared included cheap items such as towels, soaps, key chains, etc., and the most expensive item was a watch for each person.
It was custom-made by the factory and there is no factory brand logo on it, but the logos of the Olympic Games and Yuanfang Logistics.
Watches are also very important for athletes, they need watches to tell time.
The 1984 Spring Festival Gala was the first sponsored Spring Festival Gala, and the sponsor was the factory’s own wine. There is a big difference between the two.
"You can call back home and ask. This can be regarded as supporting our own country's enterprises."
After several twists and turns, the matter was finally reported to the top leader, who made the final decision to allow the use of sponsorship from Yuanfang Logistics. Of course, the clothing could not be used.
This was the first time that New China participated in the Olympic Games. The whole country attached great importance to it, and they also made careful preparations for the costumes in order to show the national style.
Although they were unable to get the athletes to go on stage wearing the clothes they had prepared, they could use other things, as their company's current business is limited to China anyway.
When these athletes return home, there will surely be many newspapers that want to interview them, and the things they bring will also be seen by everyone, so naturally Yuanfang Logistics will also be able to see them.
In addition to sponsorship, Li Daohua also got a national flag from the embassy, preparing to use it when watching the Olympics.
Li Daohua brought a lot of people with her, and she planned to take them to watch the Olympics together.
There were too few students from China studying here, and they were scattered. These students also had no money, so naturally they could not organize themselves to watch the Olympics and cheer for the athletes like they did later.
At the 1984 Olympics, most of the Chinese in the stands were of Chinese descent and people from Taiwan.
Li Daohua and his colleagues also made banners. In short, whatever other countries have, their Olympic athletes should also have them.
The clothes originally prepared for the athletes were put on by the ten of them, so they had a unified attire and it also prevented everyone from getting lost.
In the Olympic Village, athletes who have finished a day's exercise are preparing to wash up and eat.
Everyone received a gathering notice, and their daily activity schedule remained basically unchanged. Such accidents usually meant something big was happening.
"What happened?"
"I don't know. I just received the notice."
When we got to the lobby, we saw several identical large boxes on the floor with Yuanfang Logistics written on them.
"Next, we will distribute sponsored products to everyone. When you use these things, please try to show the logo. These sponsorships cost money and are not easy."
"Sponsorship?" Many people didn't quite understand what it meant. It was not until everyone went to receive their items one by one that they realized that these items were sent to them by Yuanfang Logistics.
The first thing you receive is a backpack, which is convenient for you to put the things you receive later into the bag. When you receive the things, you can check if there are any problems. If there are any problems, there are spare ones that can be exchanged.
"Although these things have been screened in advance, it is inevitable that problems will occur after such a long journey and air transportation."
For the towels and other items at the beginning, everyone just took a quick look and passed through quickly. But when it came to the last item, watches, everyone checked them very carefully.
So much so that at the last item, there were a lot of people checking their watches, and it would take a while for someone to leave.
"Luckily we put the watch at the end, otherwise the line would be blocked and we wouldn't be able to move forward."
"Okay, okay, everyone who received their supplies go eat first, and then we'll check them slowly later. If there's anything wrong, replace it with a new one. There's no need to check it now."
They don't have a rule that they won't be responsible once the goods leave the container, so Li Daohua and his team are well prepared.
When everyone left, they were still talking about Yuanfang Logistics, saying that they really had a lot of money. They wondered how much it would cost to carry so many things per person.
Many of them are still reluctant to buy watches for themselves. Many athletes come from poor backgrounds and have come here relying on their talents. Some of them usually give their subsidies to their families.
Even if you want to use it yourself, it will take a long time to save money to buy a watch.
"That's good. I save money on buying a watch." A girl put the watch on her wrist and couldn't let it go.
The Olympics often have set times, such as when to do something, what time to gather, what time to enter...
Without watches, they could only wait boredly, waiting for the leader to notify them when the time was almost up.
Now that we have watches, we know the time and it’s not so boring anymore.
"This watch is also very beautiful. I have never seen such a watch in China. Look, there are five Olympic rings inside the watch. How special."
Wearing such a watch is also a symbol of their participation in the Olympics.
The day of the Olympic Games soon arrived. Li Daohua, Ouyang Yuan and others wore the red sportswear they had prepared. On the chest were four big yellow characters "China Faraway" and on the back were the English words "China" and "Faraway Logistics".
Several people were also carrying backpacks, which were bulging with things prepared for the Olympics.
Each country has its own stand, which is also convenient for filming.
They sat among a group of people, none of whom were holding the Chinese flag. Some of them were holding no national flag, or the American flag.
As soon as Li Daohua and his colleagues sat down, everyone took out their equipment from their bags and waved small red flags. When they saw Chinese faces next to them, they would ask if they wanted some.
Next to Ouyang Yuan was an old man wearing glasses. When Ouyang Yuan asked him with a smile if he wanted it, the old man didn't speak to him, but just rolled his eyes at him.
Li Daohua was holding the large national flag borrowed from the embassy. It was different from the small red flags they brought with them. It could not be divided or used casually and had to be returned after the event.
The Chinese team arrived relatively late. When they entered, Li Daohua and his team were already ready. When they heard them entering, everyone stood up to welcome them.
There were many other people standing up with them, but none of them were as conspicuous as them.
Before coming, Li Daohua told them that the Olympics would also be broadcast domestically, and since there were only a few of them, the camera would definitely cut to them.
At that time, they will appear in front of the people of the whole country and even the whole world. They must cheer up and not embarrass themselves.
So when entering the venue, everyone was excited. A banner with the words "Come on Olympic athletes" - Yuanfang Logistics was held high, and next to it was Li Daohua waving the national flag.
Such a patch of red was particularly eye-catching in the stands. Not only did the camera focus on them, but the athletes entering the stadium also saw them at a glance.
An athlete with good eyesight saw it and whispered that they were the sponsor Yuanfang Logistics. They didn’t expect them to come to the scene to cheer.
Not long after the Chinese team entered the stadium, it was China Wanwan. The old man with glasses who had been frowning next to Ouyang Yuan finally smiled.
Ouyang Yuan leaned over to Li Daohua's ear and said, "He just said long live XXX."
Oh, no wonder they didn’t accept their little red flag. They are old rivals.
It doesn't matter. I despise him. He is just an old man. What can he do to a group of young people like them?
After a group of people sat down, they were still talking excitedly. They had never participated in such a big event in their country, and now they were having a big event in America.
Li Daohua does not bring people randomly, and does not divide them according to whether they are young and strong.
They are the outstanding employees of the fleet in the past year. The selection of outstanding employees is comprehensive.
Some are good at driving, some are responsible at work, and some have strong business capabilities...
Coming to America is a reward for outstanding employees. In short, Li Daohua has won a great victory in this Olympics.
