Chapter 311 You Can’t Have One End Without the Other
Anyway, Luo Jiu couldn't sleep because he was worried about something, so why not they just get up and come up with a plan.
The next day, Luo Jiu left the base and went on a business trip.
The athletes were panicking and asked Cheng Yaoyao and others, "Why did President Luo leave? Does he have no confidence in us?"
Cheng Yaoyao said stubbornly: "How is that possible? We believe that everyone will achieve good results."
She gave some encouraging words, then returned to her office and quietly worked on the athletes' post-retirement placement plans.
During this period, everyone was unsure.
Everything is unknown. Due to backward news and lack of information, we don’t know what our opponents are like now, nor do we know what we will be like in a year.
As the old saying goes, you cross the river by feeling the stones. In the Olympic base, there are no such "stones", so everyone just relies on feeling. Feel how this action should be done and where the key points are, and summarize it yourself.
Thinking about it this way, Cheng Yaoyao really admires the mysterious team from our neighboring country. How can they achieve such good results behind closed doors?
A few days later, Luo Jiu came back and faced the personnel elimination assessment at the Olympic base.
As expected, 95% of the 50 people eliminated were the newcomers.
Several veteran athletes had physical problems due to excessive training and excessive mental stress.
Cheng Yaoyao asked for their own opinions. If they wanted to withdraw, they could do so. There would be resettlement fees, and a job would be arranged for them when they arrived at the place.
If you don't want to leave, you can be a sparring partner or do logistics work and still get paid.
The old athletes all chose to stay, and the remaining newcomers said goodbye to everyone happily, as they were finally eliminated.
Luo Jiu thought about it and found it quite funny. These people probably hope to escape from their suffering as soon as they open their eyes every day.
Luo Jiu said: "After this assessment, the base personnel will be fixed. If there are still people who want to withdraw, you can raise it now. We will still provide corresponding placement.
We bring you here from all over the country, and we will be responsible for you.
We trained together for a while and got to know each other through fate.
This time when I went out, I went to the clothing factory and ordered a few sets of training clothes for everyone. Those who leave can also take one as a souvenir. "
Each person had a sports backpack and a handbag, both of which were filled to the brim.
The things were placed in front of everyone, and everyone stretched their necks out of curiosity.
In the end, only six newcomers remained, including Chen Jing, Li Cheng, and several others who performed well during training.
The others happily took the gift bag and went home.
Those who stayed here were also excitedly enjoying the welfare packages that were distributed.
Meng Hu said bluntly: "You were gone for several days, and we thought you didn't care about us because you saw that we were not training well.
I didn't expect you to go make beautiful clothes for us."
Luo Jiu chuckled and thought that if he didn't train well, he had to dress more beautifully. He couldn't be all messy, right?
Even if we can't win the gold medal, we have to let foreigners know that our clothing industry is quite developed. If the performance of the Eastern giant is average, at least let them see that our aesthetics are far ahead.
This time, Luo Jiu went to the clothing factory where Chen Liguo was the factory director and communicated with her for a long time. He brought a lot of Zhong Jialing's high-end clothing, as well as fashion magazine albums, clothing books, and a variety of modern clothing, and asked her to lead the designer team to research and design.
I don’t know whether the sports industry can be developed, but it would be nice to boost the clothing industry.
After the personnel were settled, the base training entered the standardization stage.
Everyone chooses two or three main projects, and in the remaining free time, they serve as each other's sparring partners.
The grades are not that bad, but the relationship among us is getting better and better. We spend every day together, study and improve together, just like a family.
Zhong Jialing started a foreign language class. Seeing that some of the students were semi-illiterate, she taught both Chinese and English together.
Cheng Yaoyao is responsible for regulating everyone's energy intake and mental state. She and Luo Jiu have discussed that there is no need to put too much pressure on everyone. They can skip the gold medal-focused stage and directly enter the stage of showing their style and relaxing to the fullest.
In class, Zhong Jialing said, "We must let the whole world see how we laugh about success and failure, and see how confident, calm, humorous and witty we are even though we come from a newly established country."
Zhong Jialing feels that in the past, people abroad had a stereotype about Chinese athletes.
We always feel like we are training machines, working very hard but not happy. In foreign competitions, most athletes do not speak English and have little communication with athletes from other countries, so foreigners will have a lot of suspicion and misunderstandings about us.
When we are strong, we don't have to care what others think of us.
But the problem is that we are now in a backward stage. If we want to connect with the world, establish diplomacy, and promote foreign trade, we need to take the initiative to communicate and break the ice.
They took this group of athletes out, which was the first appearance of the new government in the international community after its establishment. They represented the image of the country, and the first impression was crucial.
There are many ways to impress the world, winning games is just one of them.
And the biggest pain point is that we can't win all the games.
There are many projects that we will not be able to achieve breakthroughs from even after a hundred years.
For example, men's football, such a project is heartbreaking to think about.
At this time, the people do not know how much harm this project will bring to everyone.
The best result of women's football was winning an Olympic silver medal, but what about men's football? They only qualified for the Olympics once.
Because we hosted the Olympics that year, we had special privileges as the host country. Then the men's football team was not very competitive and was eliminated in the group stage.
Because the men's football team's performance was so shameful, Luo Jiu paid special attention to the training of the men's football team.
She told Liuzi that the men's football team had lost to this or that country, and Liuzi couldn't help but be surprised, "There are many countries I haven't even heard of."
Luo Jiu smiled and said: "At that time, many viewers also got to know those small countries through men's football."
Liu Zi was puzzled: "We lost so many games? There are so many countries in the world, and we can't beat any of them?"
"That's not the case," Luo Jiu said, "Even if I want to lose to the whole world, I don't have that chance. I can't even get out of Asia, so I can't qualify even if I want to lose to the whole world."
Fortunately, the Olympics had not yet developed to such a strict level at that time, otherwise Luo Jiu would really be afraid that he would not be able to kick out this time.
There are so many jokes about men's football that Luo Jiu told Liu Zi a few of them and he almost died of laughter.
But Liuzi was puzzled, "Modern people are so smart, can't they think of a way for the men's football team to win?"
