Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 926 Opening Ceremony

Looking at the old and unrecognizable badminton racket in front of him, Chen Changan didn't know what to say.

The racket looks very old, and the paint is almost worn off in many places.

Moreover, the strings on these nets are all joints, and most likely they were strung by the athletes or coaches themselves.

After a quick feel, I found that the poundage of the racket was not enough.

For badminton, the weight of badminton rackets used by professional athletes and amateurs is different.

Every professional athlete will adjust the poundage of his or her badminton racket according to his or her own characteristics and playing style.

Chen Changan discovered a lot of problems after just a simple experiment.

Then Chen Changan looked at the badminton players who were training on the training ground.

The shoes of several athletes also looked very worn out, and the badminton rackets in their hands were the same as the ones he had just seen, used by amateurs.

"Come on, stop for a moment, I want to tell you something."

As the deputy team leader, the athletes will still listen to Chen Changan, especially since badminton has not yet been included as a formal competition in the current Olympics and is merely an exhibition match.

These athletes have some inferiority complex and feel that they are different from athletes in official events.

"Didn't I tell you before? If you need anything, you can come to me.

Look at these rackets you have, these are used by amateurs. I am also a long-term badminton player.

Don’t you have any special thoughts about the racket in your hand?

Look at your shoes again, they are in such bad shape, but you are still wearing them. Why didn’t you tell me? ”

Several athletes felt a little embarrassed and said to Chen Changan.

"Deputy Head Chen, our badminton event is just an exhibition match, how can we waste precious funds?

I think we should use the limited funds for projects that have the potential to bring glory to the country. As for us, we can wait until we have more funds in the future."

"Who told you that there was a shortage of funds?"

Several athletes were stunned for a moment. Since they joined the national team, they had applied for replacement of sports equipment.

The net in the center of the training ground was in tatters and the racket strings had broken countless times, but every time we made a request to the higher-ups, they said there was insufficient funding.

Gradually, they have become accustomed to the lack of funds and the use of these worn-out equipment, including sneakers and badminton rackets.

"Is not it?"

"I'm telling you, the funding this time is more than sufficient, so don't train anymore.

Come with me to buy sports shoes and badminton rackets, and then quickly get used to the new equipment."

What athlete doesn't like new shoes and new equipment? After hearing what Chen Changan said, they all happily followed him.

After Chen Changan brought them to the sporting goods store, he said.

"Don't worry about the cost, just choose the shoes you like and the rackets you like.

Just choose what suits you and is comfortable to use, without having to consider the price. ”

Seeing that several team members were a little cautious, Chen Changan continued.

"You need to have spare shoes and badminton rackets in case something unexpected happens during the game.

There may be live broadcasts on TV at that time, and the people of our country will be watching you.

If you show up in tattered clothes and let the whole country see you, I will be scolded. "

After hearing what Chen Changan said, several athletes smiled, then let go and boldly began to choose their favorite sports shoes and new equipment.

On the way back, several athletes said to Chen Changan.

“Deputy Head Chen, we didn’t expect that just a few pairs of shoes and a few badminton rackets would be so expensive.

I'm really sorry that you've spent so much money on athletes like us who are not in the official event. "

Chen Changan waved his hand and said.

"I should pay this money, you don't need to worry about how much money it is.

If you really want to thank me, then win a championship, even if it's just an exhibition match, and let the national flag fly in the stadium."

Several athletes nodded heavily.

As the badminton players changed their clothes, Chen Changan realized that most of the athletes' equipment were very ordinary.

Even the best performing female volleyball players have very old knee pads and elbow pads.

Some of them could not provide any protection at all, so Chen Changan immediately went to check them one by one.

This also required the athletes of the entire delegation to have a major change of attire.

The athletes were smiling and the coaches were also very satisfied.

After a few days of adaptive training, it was 7 p.m. on July 28th, local time.

At 7:29 a.m. on July , Beijing time, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games officially began.

"CCTV, CCTV. Now we are broadcasting live the 23rd Summer Olympic Games.

We are currently broadcasting the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games live in Los Angeles, USA.

Now coming toward us is... "

This day happened to be Sunday, and after the news of Chen Changan going abroad with the Olympic delegation spread in the automobile factory, many people began to pay attention to the Olympics.

Some even heard the word Olympics for the first time as the Olympics approached.

Many newspapers and TV stations are reporting on the Olympics and introducing the origins of the Olympics. Gradually, people are beginning to pay attention to the Olympics.

At this time, at the gate of the automobile factory, Wu Wentao took out a 29-inch color TV from the factory warehouse and was playing the live broadcast of the Olympic Games at the gate of the residential area.

After Chen Changan went abroad, the automobile factory is currently managed by Hou Yan.

As the most senior deputy director of the automobile factory, Hou Yan is also responsible for finance and logistics. Today, she has become the first deputy director of the automobile factory.

With Hou Yan's consent, Wu Wentao was now adjusting the TV antenna.

As the tour guide continued his explanation, the square at the entrance of the huge residential area fell silent.

The two commentators have also received professional training, so at least they can recognize the large and small national flags participating in the Olympics.

This also made people who were watching the Olympics for the first time realize that there are so many countries in the world that they have never heard of.

When the Chinese delegation came out, the Chinese red and Chinese dragon costumes designed by Chen Changan immediately became a beautiful scenery on the field, arousing cheers from the audience.

"Dear audience members, the Chinese team is coming next.

They were wearing red team uniforms and walked towards us in high spirits.

The team has a total of 225 athletes who will compete in 16 major events.

I believe these athletes will make the national flag fly high in the wind on the field."
