All-round Athlete
Chapter 74 The champion is also short of money
Chapter 74 The champion is also short of money
On the second day after the awards ceremony, Zhang Guan took a leave of absence and went to the headquarters of OPAP. It is not difficult for athletes who have no competition to ask for leave.
For Zhang Guan, getting the prize money of more than 10 million euros is the top priority, and OPAP company also sent a special car to the Olympic Games to pick up Zhang Guan.
Is Zhang Guan short of money? of course! A certain gentleman will say that you are talking nonsense! The world record holder is paid for one or two advertisements at random, how could he be short of money? How could there be a difference of tens of millions?
The actual numbers tell the story best. To give the most representative example, in 2003, Liu Feiren’s total advertising endorsement bonus was 1.6 million. After becoming famous in the 2004 Athens Olympics, he signed several endorsements unexpectedly, and his income reached 23 million. In 2005 It was 26 million, in 2006 it was 58 million, and in 2007 it reached a peak of 170 million. According to statistics, Liu Feiren earned a total of 535 million in 11 years of his career.
Five hundred million, that's a lot! But this figure is pre-tax income, not what is actually put in the pocket. According to the provisions of the Personal Income Tax Law, 535 million will have to pay about 171 million in personal income tax, and then about 363 million will be left.
So does this 362 million belong to Liu Feiren?
of course not! According to the provisions of the "Interim Measures for the Management of National Team Athletes' Awarded Competition Bonuses" and the "Interim Measures for the Management of Social Donation (Sponsorship) Athletes, Coaches' Bonuses and Prizes", at least half of the 363 million must be handed over. 40% is handed over, and the remaining 60% is shared with the coaches. Athletes may actually get less than half of the total prize money; 15% of the advertising endorsement fee is handed over to the Athletics Association as a development fund, 20% is handed over to the unit, and 15% is given to the coach And meritorious personnel, the last 50% can be included in the athlete's pocket.
Therefore, the actual money Liu Feiren received in his career is 180 million yuan. The average annual salary of his 11-year career is 16 million yuan, which is about 1.6 million euros. This is only equivalent to one and a half months' salary of Messi or Ronaldo. Not to mention that it is only 2004 now, and Liu Feiren still earns less than 16 million yuan a year. Even for Liu Feiren five years later, the amount of tens of millions or hundreds of millions is by no means "mere".
This is track and field, not football with a weekly salary of 200,000 euros, not basketball with an annual salary of 20 million US dollars. In commercial sports, athletes have generous salaries from clubs, and track and field events, even the national team’s track and field athletes have a monthly salary of only 1,000. It's just a few yuan, and the athletes in the local team may only have a few hundred yuan.
So Zhang Guan felt that he was short of money. He didn't want to save money like Liu Feiren who worked hard for more than ten years. He chose the fastest legal way to get money. For this reason, he is willing to bear some costs, such as being exposed by the media, such as being punished. Then he earned more than 15 million euros in income, which is already equivalent to Liu Feiren's peak income in ten years. If inflation is taken into account, 15 million euros must be more than the future 150 million euros. So Zhang Guan is already more than Liu Feiren this time. Earn even more in your career.
15 million euros is not only Zhang Guan's confidence, but also his retreat. With such a sum of money, at least in some aspects in the future, he does not have to worry about being controlled by others. With this sum of money, he can do more things, such as investing.
In fact, this is a very simple arithmetic problem. For Zhang Guan, taking a risk in exchange for ten years of career income is definitely worth it. With this 15 million euros, what about being exposed by the media? What about being punished?
...
At the OPAP headquarters, Zhang Guan saw Osedorus and Flegos, as well as a white-haired old man who was the chairman of the OPAP board of directors. Even if ordinary people won a grand prize of tens of millions of euros, they would not bother someone of the level of the OPAP chairman to present the award in person, but Zhang Guan is the Olympic champion of Xinke and the world record holder, so the OPAP chairman personally presented the prize to Zhang Guan .
There are many media reporters in the field, all invited by OPAP company. It is impossible for OPAP company to miss this kind of publicity opportunity. Of course, most of this kind of publicity is carried out in the form of news, and it is impossible to be a straightforward advertisement endorsement .
"Let's shoot, let's shoot, just shoot, as long as the money is happy, you can shoot! There are so many euros, and I have never seen so much money in two lifetimes. If you change it into national currency, you can kill people, no, use Euros can also kill people!" Zhang Guan thought silently in his heart
The accountant, Flegoskes, accompanied Zhang Guan out of the OPAP headquarters, and he saw Flegoskes walking and said: "Mr. Zhang, for your bonus, I have made a more perfect set plan, I hope to explain it to you in detail, and part of it requires your authorization."
"Okay." Zhang Guan looked at the sky, and it was already lunch time, so he said, "Why don't we go to eat first, and then talk in detail slowly."
"Of course." Flagskes invited Zhang Guan into his car, and then said, "I don't know what you want to eat."
"I would love to try the specialties of Greek food. You know, I have been in the Olympic Village before, and although there are many varieties of dishes, it is the same every day. I have not tasted the taste of Greek food. But I am Athletes, I'm afraid they can't eat meat." Zhang Guan said.
"It's no problem. I know a restaurant. Their chef is great, and their desserts and pastries are also very good. I'll take you there now." Flegoskes said and started the car.
There are many alleys in Athens, but there are very good restaurants hidden in these alleys. With Zhang Guan, the car finally parked in a block that is not wide.
"Mr. Zhang, please get out of the car and wait a moment. Parking is not allowed on this street. I want to drive the car to the front." Flegoskes said. So Zhang Guan got out of the car and waited on the side of the road.
This block has a pure Athenian architectural style, and it seems that it has been built for some years. The buildings on both sides of the street look a bit retro, and some shops even retain the traditional European revolving doors of the last century.
Zhang Guan was admiring this exotic building when he suddenly heard a female voice shouting: "Root!"
"It's Chinese!" Zhang Guan was stunned for a moment. It is not easy to hear Chinese in a foreign country. He immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged couple. Black hair and yellow skin are the obvious characteristics of Chinese people. The man was chasing the robber in front, but the man was a bit bloated, and it was impossible to catch up with the robber at his speed.
"Since they are compatriots, help them!" Zhang Guan started to speed up fiercely, chasing after the robber.
A disdainful smile appeared on the robber's face, obviously he also knew that with the middle-aged man's figure it was impossible to catch up with him, he turned his head and yelled, "Zhu Li, you can't catch up with me!" of."
The next moment, a figure flew past the middle-aged man. The robber took a closer look, and the one who caught up was also a yellow-skinned and black-haired Chinese.
"Damn yellow man! You want to chase me. I was a sprint champion when I was on the school team." The robber immediately quickened his pace.
"At my speed, that yellow man must have been thrown away by me!" The robber just wanted to look back, but he felt his shoulder was grabbed by a hand, and then the hand pulled back violently. , throwing the robber to the ground.
Originally, the robber was not so miserable, but it is easy for a person to lose his balance while running at high speed, so he was dragged to the ground by Zhang Guan, and the fall was not light.
"What's going on, how did he run so fast!" The robber was startled. The other party was still more than ten meters away a few seconds ago, so how could he be caught up in just a few seconds.
At this time, the siren sounded, and a motorcycle with two patrolmen in the distance had already driven over. The robber got up in a hurry, staggered and fled in another direction, and the bag he snatched was directly thrown on the ground by him. Afterwards, the two patrolmen ignored Zhang Guan and chased after the robber.
At this time, the middle-aged man also caught up.
"Thank you..." The middle-aged man had already seen Zhang Guan's face clearly in the middle of the sentence, and then said in Chinese in surprise: "Zhang Guan! You are Zhang Guan!"
This time, it was Zhang Guan's turn to be taken aback. He didn't expect that he was quite well-known, and the other party knew him.
"It's really Zhang Guan! I didn't expect to see a real person!" The middle-aged man seemed very excited, and he continued: "I didn't buy a ticket yesterday, otherwise I would definitely go to the scene to watch you receive the award, but I am here Watched it live on TV!"
During the subsequent conversation, Zhang Guancai found out that the couple came to Athens for tourism. He heard that this neighborhood had good food, so he came here, but met a robber, and Zhang Guan happened to meet him.
"Thank you so much!" The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment. He thought for a while and seemed unable to repay Zhang Guan, so he took out a gold-edged business card from his pocket, handed it to Zhang Guan, and said, "This It's my business card. I opened a small company, and the business is mainly in China. After returning to China, if you need anything, you can call me. I don't know Athens, but I can't help it when I return to China. , I still have a lot of ways."
Zhang Guan politely took the business card and put it away, and then was invited to take a photo with the couple before the couple said goodbye and left.
At this time, Flegoskes also parked the car and came over, and asked, "Mr. Zhang, have you met someone you know? Are you compatriots?"
"It's a compatriot." Zhang Guan said what happened just now, then took out his business card and looked down.
"General Manager of Yiming Consulting Company: He Yiming. It turned out to be the boss of the consulting company." Zhang Guan looked down, only to find that there were three addresses of this Ming Consulting Company, one in each of the three major first-tier cities, and the following contacts There are also three ways.
"It seems that this company is not small. It has branches in the three largest cities." Zhang Guan thought to himself.
Flegos, who was beside Zhang Guan, suddenly pointed to the company logo on the business card, and said, "Mr. Zhang, I want to bother you. I seem to have seen this logo somewhere."

The second chapter is delivered, please ask for a recommendation ticket. Originally, I wanted to mention the income of track and field athletes in this chapter. After all, it was mentioned in the first volume that athletes hand in half of their bonuses. There is no need to make money at all, so I can only post the account book.
