The Era of Hard Work

On the opening day of the No. 1 Sports Club, the scene was extremely lively. Some of Yuan Baoshan's classmates from the Provincial Martial Arts Association sent flower baskets to celebrate the opening in the name of the Provincial Martial Arts Association.

When Lu Dong, Song Na and Natasha arrived early in the morning, they happened to meet the car of the provincial sports station. Since they invested in advertisements in the sports station, and Yuan Baoshan had some connections with the sports station, the sports station also specially sent people to celebrate the opening of the station.

The provincial sports station has not been established for a long time. Almost all the programs revolve around the football and basketball teams in the province. The rest of the time is basically infertility plus selling various health care products. A sports and fitness club can be regarded as a high-end customer.

Colorful flags were fluttering, gongs and drums were shaking, and several apprentices of Yuan Baoshan who had taught in the Physical Education College came to join in the show, and also performed a live whipping show.

Sanda has become more and more popular in the past two years, and various professional competitions have emerged in an endless stream. The Sanda King Competition and the China-Thailand Tournament have pushed the popularity to a peak.

To be precise, Yuan Baoshan did not have a good time. During his peak period, he was firmly in the top five in the province, and he was able to enter the top sixteen in the national competition, but there were no professional competitions at that time, and his income was relatively low.

In the past two years, there have been many competitions with relatively high bonuses and appearance fees. Yuan Baoshan has already passed his peak period.

Even in teaching, there are more pointers. For example, when teaching Lu Dong to catch a fall with his legs, it is very difficult to do, and he will stop after demonstrating once.

In professional sports, don't say that participation is the most important thing, it is to judge heroes by success or failure.

Today's market-oriented general sports, if you can't reach the top, life after retirement is very sad. You didn't earn much money when you were an athlete. Maybe the money I earned when I was young was not even enough to buy medicine.

Yuan Baoshan is considered good, his working relationship has always been in the Physical Education Institute, and he can still be a teacher in the Physical Education Institute if he can't move.

Besides, this person also has a wide range of friends. Not to mention that he is more familiar with the people from the Provincial Sports Station. Today, the head of the Taishan football team, Lao Mao, was invited to cut the ribbon for the opening.

Last year, the Taidong team won the A-League and the Football Association Cup double crown, and Lao Mao himself won the two highest individual awards in China, "Football Real Man" and Mr. Footballer.

Lu Dong is more or less a football watcher, so he naturally recognizes the banner figure of Taidong football, so he dragged Song Na over to take a photo.

The appearance of Lao Mao also pushed the opening ceremony to a climax.

Across the road from the business building where the No. 1 Sports and Fitness Club is located, and very close diagonally opposite, is the Shengqi Taijiquan Gym.

At this time, at the entrance of the Tai Chi gym, many people were curiously looking at the sky-shaking firecrackers and salutes.

Looking from their position, you can just see the huge billboard on the intersection—the first sports, the first choice for fitness!

There are also some smaller advertising slogans: learn Sanda, practice self-defense, go to No. 1 Sports!

Many people have realized that Shengqi Taijiquan Gym has been opened here for more than two years, and competitors seem to have appeared!

In the office on the second floor of the boxing gym, the well-built Wu Shengqi stood by the window, looking diagonally through the glass window. Since the distance was not far away, he could basically see the situation there, and faintly saw the Wushu Association and Some acquaintances from the provincial sports station.

He is also advertising on the provincial sports station, but not before the Taishan team game, but during a relatively cheap time slot.

In recent days, when the employees below go out to distribute leaflets, they often encounter people from No. 1 Group, and the people below are also complaining. Some customers ask No. 1 Group to take them away.

The first sports is opened diagonally opposite, what do you want to do? Want to grab a deal?

A sturdy young man in black clothes entered the office at this time and came to Wu Shengqi's side: "Master."

Wu Shengqi looked like a master, nodded slightly, and asked, "Have you found out clearly?"

The sturdy young man said: "Basically, I have asked clearly."

He also looked diagonally across to the side where the opening ceremony was being held: "First Sports is opened by two teachers from the Physical Education College, named Yuan Baoshan and Yang Min. The girls specialize in aerobics and yoga. Yuan Baoshan used to practice Sanda professionally. Later, after retiring, he worked as a teacher in the college, and most of the students and teachers in the Physical Education College moved to Qingzhao, and together with a wealthy female student in the school, they invested in this fitness club, and Sanda is one of the major items."

Wu Shengqi frowned: "Strengthen your body, isn't the treasure handed down from our ancestors better than those Western gadgets?"

However, when he was around thirty years old, the master spoke in an old-fashioned way: "Nowadays, these young people don't know how to respect tradition at all, and they all worship foreigners!"

The sturdy young man said: "That's right, how good it is to learn Tai Chi!"

Wu Shengqi asked: "Have we been greatly affected?"

"I can't see it for the time being." The sturdy young man said, "It's only opened there."

Wu Shengqi stood with his hands behind his back: "Pay more attention to that side."

This line of business does not seem to be small at first glance, but it is actually not that big. People are busy making a living, and the number of people who are really willing to learn boxing is limited. That is, the law and order has not been very good these years, and many people want to learn self-defense. surgery.

Then there are some young people who are influenced by martial arts novels or movies and TV, and want to practice martial arts.

It's just that there are more and more programs such as Sanda and boxing on TV in the past two years. Although Wu Shengqi disdains these small tricks, he also knows that TV's communication ability is very powerful, and it will inevitably affect some people's choices.

Is this traditional kung fu going to die? Wu Shengqi stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, worried.

The emergence of competitors made Wu Shengqi feel a sense of crisis. How can he maintain the advantage of his own Taijiquan gym in the competition?

This needs to be carefully considered.

The sturdy young man glanced at the master's increasingly handsome figure, and said, "Master, I'll go down if I have nothing to do."

Wu Shengqi waved his hand: "Go to teach, those who are new to the trial class, you have to hurry up and watch them one-on-one. As long as you pay the money, they won't be able to run away!"

"Yes." The sturdy young man quickly responded.

Just as he was about to leave, he remembered another one: "Master, the provincial sports station sent an invitation just now, inviting us to attend the second anniversary Taiwan celebration reception held by the sports station."

When Wu Shengqi saw the invitation handed over by his apprentice, he paid more attention to it: "There are many people invited?"

The sturdy young man said, "It's mainly people from the sports industry, as well as advertisers. We have a quota of five people here."

Wu Shengqi said: "Reply to them, and I will participate."

The first sports and fitness club, the ribbon-cutting ceremony ended, and a large number of people entered the club.

The fitness club is well-decorated, with all kinds of fitness equipment neatly and orderly placed in the venue. In addition to the spacious Sanda gym, aerobics practice room and yoga studio, there is also a spinning bike venue, with professional Fitness trainer guides training.

In the Sanda hall, Qiao Weiguo was wearing a vest with the words "No.1 Sports" printed on it. His lean body was full of strong tendons. He performed a Sanda performance with a former apprentice of Yuan Baoshan.

Although it has a performance nature, some of the actual combat techniques used by the two still attracted frequent applause.

Later, Yang Min and Yuan Baoshan invited people to the hotel on Shengda Road, and there was a banquet at noon to entertain many guests.

Many of the people who came here today were friends of Yang Min and Yuan Baoshan. Even the provincial sports station was contacted by Yuan Baoshan.

Yuan Baoshan specifically introduced the advertising and program production director of the Provincial Sports Station to Lv Dong and Song Na. The introduction was more detailed. In addition to the actual controlling shareholder of First Sports, he also focused on their company.

"You two are young and promising." The middle-aged man named Li Donghai shook hands with Lu Dong and Song Na respectively.

On such occasions, it’s all about business bragging, so Lu Dong took the initiative to toast a glass of wine: "Our small fights, how can we compare with Director Li, Director Li, I toast you."

Director Li saw Lu Dong making a toast, and lowered his glass, clinking glasses almost flat. After drinking, he said: "Mr. Lu's shop is blooming everywhere in Quannan. The two children in my family , often clamoring to eat the Malatang and burgers in your store."

He has everything in mind: "I've seen Mr. Song's Warm Warehouse in Ginza, and the accessories they sell are very exquisite. Not to mention my daughter, even my wife likes it very much."

Song Na was also adapting to these social occasions, and then said: "Director Li, it's an honor for you to appreciate it. It's the honor of Warm Warehouse."

She also offered a toast to Li Donghai.

Li Donghai can tell that these two young people are a couple. While drinking, they wonder how their parents were born. They have made such a big career when they were around twenty years old. Look at the two in my family. I'm old, and I haven't lived to understand.

The two sides got together and said a few words, and Li Donghai paid back to Lu Dong and Song Na.

Li Donghai is not only as simple as toasting a toast, the people who come out of the unit have a very keen sense of smell, and immediately related to his own business: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Song, although the sports station has not been established for a long time, it also has some influence. The two They are all young entrepreneurs, and you are welcome to come to Sports Channel to advertise. I am here to make a statement, and I will definitely give you the best price!"

Lu Dong said politely: "Director Li, if there is a need, we will definitely contact you."

It’s hard to say anything else, but when the provincial sports broadcast the Taishan team’s game live, the ratings are quite high, and the players who watch the game are mainly young people.

Before Li Donghai left the table, he specially invited him: "This weekend, Sports Station will have a reception to celebrate its second anniversary. If you two have time, please come!"

The person was invited in person, and it was still a unit directly related to the first sports. Song Na, the actual general manager, could not refuse, so she made eye contact with Lu Dong and said, "We will definitely be there."

Later, Song Na asked Xiayuan Baoshan, knowing that when the sports station came over today, they sent invitations together, giving a total of five places.

The other minority shareholder, Natasha, has something to do over the weekend. Lu Dong proposed to invite Qiao Weiguo to go with him. Comrade Weiguo will work in No. 1 Sports in the future and will gradually assume some important roles.
