The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

From 1968 to 1988, East Germany won a total of 519 Olympic medals in the Olympics in just two decades. If calculated by the average population, the number of medals won by the East German team is 10 times that of the Soviet Union and 13 times that of the United States!

It's so overwhelming!

In the 1972 Munich Olympic Games, East Germany won 20 gold medals, ranking third after the United States and the Soviet Union. The same host West Germany won 13 gold medals.

By the time of the Montreal Olympics in 1976, East Germany exploded and won 40 gold medals. The United States stepped on its feet, and the Soviet Union ranked second in the gold medal list, while West Germany won only 10 gold medals in the same Olympics.

In the 1980 Moscow Olympics because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, it was boycotted by Western countries. In the absence of competitors, East German sports reached its peak, winning a total of 47 gold medals, while the Soviet Union won 80 gold medals. As for West Germany, it did not participate in this Olympics. .

For the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, East Germany and other Eastern European socialist countries boycotted with the big brother, the Soviet Union.

Four years later, in Seoul, the politically deteriorating East Germany still won 37 gold medals, still beating the United States with one advantage, ranking second on the gold medal list, while West Germany won 11 gold medals.

In this Barcelona Olympic Games, Germany sent a team composed mainly of East German athletes. There is no way. West Germany is a second-rate player in Olympic medals, which is incomparable with East Germany.

Even if the Eastern German sports are suppressed, the Germans are still good-looking. This trip to the Federal Republic of Germany also wants to make a fortune in the Olympics: as long as the East German gang of men and women play, although the competitive state may not be at the peak, but take a platoon. The third place should be like a play.

The entire East Germany has a population of 17 million, but who can stand in the first echelon of the Olympic competition list. Who will compete with the Soviet Union and the United States?

Tough, unbelievably tough!

Some people say that East Germany relies on stimulants to fight the world. This is obviously not comprehensive, or even deliberately discrediting: The East German authorities have systematically instructed at least 10,000 athletes to take various prohibited drugs for a long time, but not all events Can rely on doping kits to fight the world.

For example, in Zhang Nan’s memory, in several Winter Olympics after the merger of the two Germanys, Germany won either the first or the second in the number of gold medals, and the second was "occasionally". Most of these athletes came from Eastern Germany. .

Does it all rely on stimulants?

Obviously unrealistic.

Good results are achieved because the training system, traditions and concepts are also playing a big role. Just like the original East Germany not only researched stimulants that cannot be detected by drugs, it also spends huge amounts of money on training elite athletes every year for the power of the country. Select young athletic talents for closed training.

The consequences are not only gold medals, but also because 80% of East German athletes retired because they did not have enough culture or skills other than their original skills, it was difficult to make a living. Many of them also suffered from illnesses and even became disabled due to excessive exercise. .

But who cares? After the trinity of star athletes, coaches and sports bureaucrats, it is a huge interest group. Gold medals can bring huge fame and fortune to athletes and coaches, and it can also bring prosperous official achievements to sports bureaucrats.

The East Germans just did something to the extreme as much as possible, more specific and hard-working than others, and then succeeded.

As far as the price is acceptable, you have to pay a price if you want to reach the peak, especially for the country.

...

Tom Jackson, one of the housekeepers, is extremely efficient. Thanks to the increasingly mature emergency mechanism over the past few years, everyone can drive to his airport after dinner and a few changes of clothes.

As soon as they arrived at the airport, the two Gulfstream 4s ​​were already preparing for the night flight-the airport staff moved as quickly as possible after receiving the notification from the manor, but the pilots in shifts were still at their homes.

Fortunately, Zhang Nan, a rich boss and several proprietresses, are the masters who fly all over the United States and the world at any time. The homes of the pilots are arranged on Long Island, which is closer to the airport than the manor.

Brother-in-law Xiang Weirong was not interested in the casino, so he didn't go this trip, but even so, the total of 24 seats on the two planes were all filled.

It's not that everyone wants to make a fortune so that they can't miss any opportunity, but the boss and the proprietress are at least this ostentatious every time they go out. Such people are really indispensable.

For example, on this temporary trip, the bodyguard should take it, the private chef should also go with it, and the housekeeper, these are all necessary.

Fortunately, the children went to Canada. Otherwise, if the children were dispatched, the show would be bigger and there would be several babysitters. In addition, Las Vegas already has a "joint force" branch, otherwise it would really have to use a transport plane, and the speed of arranging charter planes from airlines would not be so fast.

The pilot arrived, and the two flight attendants had just arrived. Zhang Nan felt a bit awkward on board the plane: I am used to the 767, and the Gulfstream business jet feels a little too small for myself, even a little depressed.

After sitting down, Zhang Nan asked Tom Jackson, the butler sitting at the other end of the cabin: "What did Boeing say, when will they be able to deliver?"

Mr. Butler said: "Boss, the plane was delivered at the beginning of this month, but your three groups of pilots still need a period of running-in training, and they will be able to transfer to your airport within half a month."

What Zhang Nan said was the 747-400 ordered at home. The super luxury was big enough, but the pilots who were used to flying the 767 and Gulfstream had to undergo retraining, and they couldn’t buy a new model just to get a new one. The pilot, right?

Don't worry about those crew members who have been serving themselves for several years. They are not familiar with the 747. The training means that they are not trained until the aircraft is delivered. Since Zhang Nan placed the order, three groups of people began to receive training for the transfer to the 747.

Not only the flight attendants, but also the ground crews. Several maintenance personnel who are familiar with large four-engine airliners such as the 747 were also dug from other airlines.

As soon as the new planes are delivered here, the ground and air crews start to familiarize themselves with the new planes on hand at Boeing to ensure that they can provide the boss with the highest quality and safe service.

It's good soon, the plane is big enough to be convenient.

During the nearly five-hour flight, it was two o'clock in the middle of the night, and the two Gulfstreams arrived in Las Vegas. Did not land at McCarran International Airport, of course not at the air force base in the north of the city, but landed at a small airport about 6 kilometers south of the international airport.

In addition to the airports in the military bases in Las Vegas, there are several large and small airports. The one where Zhang Nan will arrive is not only used by the flight school, but also a place for the wealthy to take off and land and rent private business jets. .

Some wealthy people do not take a car after arriving by business jet, but directly change to a helicopter to go to the huge casino hotels in the downtown area.

If Zhang Nan went to stay in those hotels near the Las Vegas Strip, he would also choose a helicopter. But this trip is not the case. The branch temporarily contracted a holiday estate five kilometers east of the airport. On a hillside, nearby is the luxury villa area that the real rich people like.

It is said that living there can enjoy the magnificent view of the sunrise and sunset of Las Vegas, and it is also conducive to the security work. The helicopter can also directly land in the manor.

In the big evening, the helicopter was useless, and the branch pick-up staff prepared a luxury convoy, and hula la pulled the boss and his party to the holiday estate.

Originally on the plane, everyone was enthusiastic about placing a bet right away, but when this meeting was really there, the interest in the gamble was greatly reduced.

It's late at night, and even if a group of people take a nap on the plane for a few hours, they should take a break at this meeting instead of gambling money.

Don't bet anymore?

Down, of course, if you have money, you don’t get the bastard-the egg is just to let people from the major gambling companies come to the manor and wait.

There are door-to-door delivery in this world, and there are also door-to-door bets for gambling in sports competitions, as long as you have enough money.

Okay, guys are waiting to make some small fortunes, but the boss is actually hard to lose money: two Gulfstreams flying to Nevada is not cheap, and the money you can make from betting is actually not much, there is a cap, and every company so.

But who cares?

Anyway, Zhang Nan didn't care, it was just a matter of coming out after thinking about it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Otherwise, I would feel a little abandoned by his wife and children in New York.

But this will even leave the betting to the housekeeper. He has to sleep first: it’s almost three o’clock in the middle of the night after he’s settled down, and it will be bright before long.

Don't find a bed to sleep well, thinking about being a god!

But it's still the same sentence, except for Zhang Nan, an "old man" who tries his best to keep his schedule stable, who cares?

This is Las Vegas. Come here for shopping, travel, gambling, looking for excitement, and those guys who come here to get married and then get divorced quickly don’t care what time they go to bed at night, anyway, most of the people in Las Vegas There is no breakfast served in the hotel, and I get hungry when I get up early.

It’s not about the room cost, but the hotel here doesn’t provide breakfast at all, but there are supper, at least many casinos have a variety of free food.

The room does not include breakfast, because this is in the casino, few tourists will get up before ten o'clock in the morning, and those hotels near the Las Vegas Strip will naturally not provide breakfast service.

But I really became a fairy. I slept for about three hours on the plane, and then I couldn't sleep again. After four o'clock, I simply moved a chair in the yard to watch the sunrise in the desert.

It’s a little bit cold in the morning, and it won’t reach 20 degrees. In addition, there is a little breeze in the early morning, and it’s even a bit cold in short sleeves.

The sunrise in the desert is also quite spectacular. I feel hungry after the sun comes out. Fortunately, this is a holiday manor serving the real rich. Breakfast is still available and catering services are provided 24 hours a day.

After eating and going to bed, Nicole, who didn't dare to bother to sleep deeply, was a little sneaky.

It was already after 12 noon when I woke up, and the curtains were so effective that Nicole was gone on the other side of the bed.

After washing and leaving the house...

"Fuck, why is it so hot!"
