Reborn as a police officer in South Africa
1804 One step to the sky
In fact, there were calls for the establishment of a professional basketball league in southern Africa a few years ago.
It is recognized that the cost of basketball is lower than that of football. Football requires at least a lawn, while basketball can be played on any cement floor. The number of people required is not even high. Three, five or even two people can have fun playing it.
In southern Africa, basketball is as popular as football. Football has a professional league first because of its first-mover advantage. Basketball has a better mass base. In this Friendship Games, basketball will appear on the field as a performance event.
When it comes to basketball and football, there is a joke here, and that is the athletic ability of Africans.
What can I say about the athletic ability of Africans? It is probably like that of a certain nation. There is really no shining point in other aspects, so I have to show off the "craftsmanship".
The same is true for Africans. Look at the Olympic Games in another time and space. Africans' advantageous events are track and field, or even more specifically various long-distance and sprint races, and other slightly technical things. Africans can't do it at all. Swimmers almost drowned.
Death in a swimming pool probably only happens to Africans.
Speaking of running, this topic is even more interesting. It seems that African athletes rarely appear in shooting competitions. Compared with the strength of African athletes in running, what does this mean?
This shows that Africans who cannot run fast are useless. Only by running fast can they avoid being hunted by the slave hunting team——
Bah, bah, bah, it was a mistake. It should be that only by running fast can you successfully catch the prey.
You read that right, the way most Africans hunt is to tire their prey to death.
As for tools, Africa does not even have crossbows, only the most primitive bows, which explains the problem.
Reflected on football, Africans have not shown outstanding talents. At least until now, the players in the Southern African Professional Football League are all composed of Chinese and white people. This is not even discrimination, but the technical skills of Africans.
Not up to the standards required by professional football.
In fact, the threshold for football is also very low. It is best to have a lawn. If there is no lawn, you can play a few games on the beach, cement ground, or even dirt ground, but the experience is not very good.
The problem still lies in the future of football.
Since it is unlikely to get a professional contract even if you meet the required standards of professional football, why invest too much energy in this sport.
In other words, it’s already very difficult to live hard, so let’s just go to sleep about football.
Coubertin and Latour certainly didn't know that the great France would develop to the point where almost all the national teams would be Africans.
When Dr. James Naismith invented basketball, he probably did not expect that in the future of the American Professional Basketball Association, there would be only 7 pure-blooded white people left in the 30 teams, and the roles would all be filled with soy sauce.
This situation is unlikely to happen in southern Africa for the simple reason that the presidents of the Southern African Football Association and Basketball Association do not like Africans.
This is not discrimination against Africans by the federal government of Southern Africa. The Football Association and the Basketball Association are also commercial organizations in the final analysis, and they are all commercial activities.
Compared with football and basketball, Coubertin was more concerned about the Friendship Games.
If the sponsorship fee of car sponsors for the Goodwill Games reaches tens of millions of rand, then the Nyasaland State Government will definitely not give up on the Goodwill Games. This news could not be worse for the Olympic Games.
Just when Coubertin and Latour were at their wits' end, at the headquarters of the Friendship Games Organizing Committee, Nyasaland State Sports Minister Sinclair, who served as the director, and Los Angeles Deputy Mayor Wang Han, who served as the deputy director, were in pain and happiness.
You can imagine how difficult it is to complete the preparations for the Friendship Games in less than two months.
Sinclair and Wang Han have been seriously deprived of sleep every day during this period. Both of them have eye circles like pandas, their hair is falling out in handfuls, and their eyes are bloodshot. They are extremely energetic and have to count sheep even in bed.
It was so painful to be able to fall asleep.
But it feels so good when I collect money.
Southern African companies are very wealthy, but many people don't know how wealthy Southern African companies are.
Sinclair and Wang Han learned this lesson deeply this time. When Nyasaland Auto slapped a check of 10 million rand on Sinclair's desk, Sinclair was completely insomnia that night, and the lights in the office stayed on all night.
.
This is ten million!
Not a mark, not a franc, but ten million rand.
In an era when the minimum wage was only R180, if converted to the United States in 2021, the purchasing power would be equivalent to about US$1 billion.
Also as a top sponsor, Moutian became the top sponsor of the Olympic Games in 2016, but only paid US$835 million to the Olympic Committee.
Nyasaland Automobile spent 10 million rand with the same goal of becoming a top sponsor of the Goodwill Games, and the period is valid for ten years.
This means that the Goodwill Games must be held at least twice before Nyasaland Motors can recover its costs.
"Coubertin and Latour have arrived in Los Angeles and checked into the Rhodesian Hotel." Sinclair never leaves his hand with coffee every day and needs coffee to keep his spirits high.
"It seems that their first stop was the state government, but Governor Anton didn't see them." Wang Han never leaves his hand with tea every day. He also soaks wolfberry, chrysanthemum and cassia seeds in the tea cup, plus tea leaves, which is a standard health regimen.
"What do you say when you meet them? Do you wish them a good mood?" Sinclair laughed, thinking that when Los Angeles fought for the right to host the Olympic Games, Sinclair, as the Sports Minister of Nyasaland, was also a member of the delegation. At that time, the Olympic Committee
How arrogant, how happy Sinclair is now.
A non-governmental organization dares to be so arrogant towards a superpower. Who gave you the courage?
So seeing Coubertin and Latour being defeated in the state government, Sinclair had only two words - deserved it!
"Our biggest problem now is tickets. Tickets for popular events have almost been sold out. There are countless calls every day to book tickets. The foreign tourists haven't come yet. If they can't buy tickets then, they will probably complain.
"It's very big." Wang Han also has a big opinion. The tickets for the Friendship Games are not friendly to foreigners at all. Tickets for popular events, such as football matches, are about twice as expensive for foreigners as those for southern Africans.
.
Even so, the Friendship Games Organizing Committee still receives countless phone calls, telegrams and faxes from all over the world every day, all for the purpose of getting tickets.
"Reserve more tickets for foreigners, we want to earn foreigners' money, and at the same time we can increase temporary stands -" Sinclair's heart is dark, it doesn't matter whether southern Africans make money, foreigners' money must be
To earn.
The Friendship Games are tentatively scheduled, and the first football match and the final will be held at the home stadium of the Nyasaland Eagles.
The Eagles' home court can accommodate 65,000 spectators and is the largest stadium in Los Angeles.
The opening ceremony of the Goodwill Games will also be held at the Eagles' home court.
In order to appease another giant, Rhodesia United, the two semi-finals, the third and fourth place finals, and the closing ceremony will be held at the home ground of Rhodesia United.
Rhodesia United's home stadium can also accommodate nearly 60,000 spectators.
"If temporary stands are added, safety must be guaranteed." Wang Han doesn't know how many more stands can be added, so be prepared for a rainy day.
"Leave it to Christian to find a way. We can also place more TVs outside the stadium and in the city's squares so that spectators who cannot attend can also participate." Sinclair made full use of the favorable conditions and thanked the scientists.
s hard work.
"The TV screen is too small -" Wang Han regretted slightly. Today's TV screens are not much bigger than a palm, but this is already good. It is better than before when you could only listen to the radio.
"We can organize a variety of entertainment activities to make foreigners who can't watch the game feel that their trip is worthwhile. Aren't there still some unpopular projects? Give away what should be given away, and reduce the price of what should be reduced. In short, we must do everything possible.
The method is to take all the foreigners' money out of their pockets and make them willing to pay." Sinclair is very ambitious. Every year during the blooming period of the aster tree, Pretoria will hold a week-long carnival, and Los Angeles will hold a week-long carnival.
That's totally fine too.
Whether it is a sports meeting or a carnival, the purpose is still to promote consumption.
Without consumption, there is no market. With such a strong industrial capacity in Southern Africa, the goods produced every year need to be sold so that companies can have enough funds to improve production methods and develop new products.
The root cause of the economic crisis lies in the imbalance between production and consumption. Southern Africa has developed very well in recent years, and its population has been maintaining rapid growth. This has formed a virtuous cycle and the market has always been full of vitality.
Even so, federal governments at all levels are also working hard to find new economic growth points, and both spiritual and material civilization must keep up.
"There is no problem with this. Our reception capacity can still make people feel at ease." Wang Han is confident in the management level of the Luo City government. This is not the first time that Luo City has held such an event. Star City started it a few years ago.
The Los Angeles City Government has accumulated rich experience in organizing film festivals.
In essence, film festivals and sports games are the same, and their purpose is to promote consumption.
Of course, the Los Angeles City Government will not say this. It is too vulgar to raise money. Among all official claims, the purpose of Los Angeles Film Programs is to enrich people's entertainment life, promote the development of the film industry, and by the way improve people's spiritual civilization construction, which is more profit-oriented.
It doesn't matter.
The Los Angeles Film Festival is also the world's first international film festival.
Now the influence of the Los Angeles Film Festival has spread all over the world. Every year, filmmakers from all over the world bring their films to Los Angeles to participate in the film festival. Many screenwriters, directors, actors, and other professionals also come to Los Angeles to look for films.
Chance.
If your work is noticed by Star City Film Company, you will reach the sky in one step.
