Chapter 822 (Fifth Watch)

Paris France.

The final stage of the Tour de France is from Creteil to the Champs Elysees in Paris, with a total distance of 95 kilometers, almost from the southeastern suburbs of Paris to the city center.

This stage of the competition is an honor ride, which is basically equivalent to a champion's parade. At this time, there are no leading riding teams, and there is no frequent calculation of tactics between teams. There is no need for that anymore. It's just a group cycling outing, relax, lower your posture, put on a smile, and truly experience the timeless romanticism of the Tour de France.

The contestants who were murderous yesterday have become friendly today. The organizer even prepared beer and small bottles of champagne for the riders. While riding, the riders toasted each other, and then entered the urban area of ​​Paris leisurely .

After entering the urban area, the competition began to show some color of competition. After all, there is still a champion in the 21st stage, which is still worth fighting for. In the end, Cavendish, the sprint master of the American HTC Speedway Team, won the championship of the last stage.

The awards ceremony was held on the Champs-Elysees Avenue in Paris, Zhang Guan enjoyed people's praise, and the 2011 Tour de France officially came to an end at this moment.

And this Tour de France also set a ratings record. In France, a maximum of 8.5 million TV viewers watched the Tour de France at the same time. French national TV also broadcast the race for more than 82 hours, covering almost all the races. , the average number of TV viewers on a game day reaches 5.2 million, which accounts for almost 9% of the population of France.

Another big viewership group of the Tour de France is in China. Because of Zhang Guan's participation, there is also a bicycle craze in China, and TV stations have also increased their live broadcast of the Tour de France. Moreover, the time for the Tour de France is after 6 pm in China. This is the prime time for viewing, and the audience is naturally much higher.

A series of statistics made Prudhomme laugh. The Tour de France was involved in a doping scandal last year, which greatly damaged the reputation of the Tour de France. Now it seems that the damaged reputation is not only It was made up, and it also won a large number of Eastern audiences.

Competitive sports competitions ultimately depend on money, and games that don't make money cannot last for a long time. The more lucrative the game, the higher the degree of participation of the masses, the more high-level players, the more exciting the game, which in turn attracts more spectators, which has become a virtuous circle.

In the commercial operation of sports, developed countries in Europe and the United States are indeed far ahead.

...

Zhang Guangang was about to leave the hotel for a walk, but was stopped by the hotel manager.

"Mr. Zhang, if you want to go out, I suggest you go through the back door." The hotel manager continued: "There are a lot of reporters and your fans gathered at the front door. If you go out from the front door, you will definitely be surrounded by them."

Zhang Guan thought for a while, then nodded: "Then please take me to the back door."

The hotel manager led Zhang Guan out of the back door. Just as he walked out, he saw a familiar figure. A tall blond woman with a schoolbag on her back was playing with her mobile phone.

"Hermione, why are you here?" Zhang Guan asked in surprise.

That person was Hermione Cofield.

Hermione raised her head, saw Zhang Guan, immediately ran over excitedly, and said at the same time: "I came to see you! I heard that you won the Tour de France, so I rushed here from London yesterday. Saw the ride of honor yesterday and the award ceremony on the Champs-Elysées."

"I'm asking why are you here in the hotel? Are you alone?" Zhang Guan asked.

"It's just me, I heard that you live here, so I want to come over to touch the tone and see if I can meet you." Hermione said shyly: "There are too many people in front, I can't squeeze I didn’t go in, so I walked around the hotel and happened to meet you.”

"You have my phone number, why don't you call me directly?" Zhang Guan then asked.

"I'm worried you've forgotten me..." Hermione's voice trailed off.

"Gulu..." A voice sounded, obviously someone's stomach was growling.

"Have you eaten yet?" Zhang Guan asked.

Hermione nodded awkwardly.

"Let's go, let's go eat first." Zhang Guan had no choice but to take Hermione back to the hotel first.

...

hotel restaurant.

"I'm full! Thank you for your hospitality." Hermione wiped her mouth, and then said, "It's time for me to go back to London."

"I came to Paris yesterday, are you going to leave today? Are you planning to go shopping in Paris?" Zhang Guan asked casually.

“I have been to Paris when I was young, but it’s been too long and I don’t have much memory. I originally wanted to go shopping in Paris, but the prices in Paris are similar to London. Especially during the Tour de France, the accommodation is very expensive. It's too expensive." Hermione then added: "You know, I'm still a student."

Zhang Guan nodded, the accommodation in the downtown area of ​​Paris is indeed not cheap, and there are many illegal immigrants and drug addicts living in cheap places, which is really too dangerous for a single girl.

"Then you can stay here. I'll ask the manager to prepare a room for you. Since you're in Paris, let's play for a few more days before going back!" Zhang Guan said with a smile.

"Really!" Hermione's eyes lit up, and immediately she had a hesitant expression, as if she had some scruples.

"It's okay, don't have any worries, you can come to see me from London, if I invite you to stay in a hotel, it can be regarded as the friendship of the landlord!" Zhang Guan waved to the manager while talking, telling him to prepare a new room .

...

Late at night, Zhang Guan sat by the bed, admiring the night view of Paris. In the distance, the Eiffel Tower has been shrouded in golden lights, which is particularly conspicuous.

"Ding dong..." The doorbell rang, and Zhang Guan was a little surprised. Who would come to find him so late? He walked to the door, and through the cat's eye, he saw Hermione standing outside, looking into the cat's eye. .

Zhang Guan opened the door, only then did he notice that Hermione was only wrapped in a towel.

Before Zhang Guan could react, Hermione rushed directly into Zhang Guan's arms.

"Hermione? What's wrong?" Zhang Guan was at a loss.

"I like you! I've liked you since the first time I saw you when I was fourteen!" Hermione's voice trembled.

"Wait a minute, Hermione, we can't..." Zhang Guan was hugged by Hermione, and his voice was also trembling.

"I'm eighteen years old this year! I can..." Hermione interrupted Zhang Guan.

Zhang Guan is not a fool, how could he not understand Hermione's consciousness, he was full of astonishment, but Hermione pushed his body to the bedside involuntarily.

"Am I pushed down? Forget it, don't worry about it!" Zhang Guan only hesitated for a second, and the fire of desire in his heart burned out the remaining rationality.

He directly hugged Hermione in his arms, and then changed from passive to active...
