The flight takes off at 10 a.m., arrives in Shanghai at noon, then transfers, takes a China Southern Airlines flight, and then flies directly to Atlanta.
Because Atlanta is in the eastern part of the United States, only China Southern Airlines from Shanghai and Delta Airlines from the United States have direct flights to Atlanta. Otherwise, you need to transfer in the United States. Transferring in the United States is not as convenient as domestic transfers, so this time I arranged to go there first
Shanghai Stock Exchange.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the China Southern Airlines flight took off. 15 hours later, there was a 15-hour time difference between China and the eastern United States. It landed in Atlanta at three o'clock in the afternoon on July 15th.
The next step was a hustle and bustle. I picked up my luggage, took the bus to leave the airport, and arrived at the Olympic Village to settle down. It was already past six in the evening.
We went to the Olympic Village restaurant for dinner, and it was already dark.
When he returned to the room, a large group of athletes headed by Liu Banyue approached him and wanted to exchange U.S. dollars from his hand.
He asked Gong Lumin for a notebook and asked them to write their names and amounts in it. He would give them cash tomorrow and pay them back in RMB when they returned home.
"Old K, we'll write it down and give it to you." Liu Banyue happily took the notebook and left with a group of people.
"What do you think is the appropriate amount to change?" Fu Minxia asked.
"At least two thousand dollars, right? Plus I have three thousand dollars in hand, I think it's enough." Qiao Hong said.
"It's not enough. I want to buy a few big things. Lao K is a very rich man. He has a lot of money. Most of it is US dollars. If you exchange more, you won't have to worry about going abroad in the future." Zhan Shugang shouted.
"With so many people, we can't exchange too many people, right? Don't be too hard on others," Deng Yaping said.
"Don't worry, most people won't exchange that much. They don't have much money on hand. If you have money, it should be fine to exchange more." Liu Yueban said.
Once I threw this notebook away, I didn't come back until I went to bed.
The next morning, the basketball team went to the restaurant to have breakfast.
"Hey, old K."
"Oh, hello."
On the table next to me are a group of American sprinters and track and field athletes. They are all famous athletes, including Carl Lewis, Morris Green and others. They know Lao Wang, but Lao Wang only knows some of the most famous people among them, and some do not.
, greeted each other for a while.
At this time, another large group of Chinese athletes arrived, including the table tennis team and the diving team.
Liu Yueban and Fu Minxia saw the old queen and walked straight over. The latter was holding a notebook in her hand, the same one she took away last night.
Although the beautiful lady Fu had a smile on her face, her eyes were a little worried, and she asked: "Old K, after calculation, there are 481 people in total, and the average person is two thousand US dollars, is that okay?"
"If it's not possible, then reduce it?" Liu Yue half-hurriedly asked.
"What's the reduction? It's not much. I still have thousands of dollars in cash. By the way. If any of you want to buy something big and still need money, just tell me." Lao Wang said, patting his chest.
The beautiful lady Fu was startled. Thousands of dollars? How do you calculate it? She quickly said: "Wrong, wrong, at most one million dollars."
"Only one million?" Lao Wang was startled.
"Old K, you are so fat! No wonder you dare to buy a street in the capital." Liu Yue said with a half smile.
"Come on, I was tricked by that street. I couldn't save any money at all. I had to throw whatever money I had into it. It was a bright light that illuminated others, but it was myself who burned." Lao Wang shook his head.
When I went back this time, the K-Times Sports Center had already been opened, and the foundations of the basketball stadium and five-star hotel were being laid. It was time to spend money.
He then took out his mobile phone and made a call, notifying Citibank to prepare one million US dollars in cash for him. The manager thought he had been kidnapped and explained for a long time before agreeing to prepare it for him.
"By the way, you can send me to the Olympic Village."
"Okay, we will arrive at the Olympic Village before twelve o'clock."
After settling the cash matter, he asked curiously: "How many people are there in our delegation?"
"495, 309 athletes." Liu Yueban said very familiarly.
When Lao Wang stayed, there were only 495 people in total. So almost everyone came to him to exchange dollars?
At this time, a group of tall guys came in, who were members of the American Men's Basketball Dream Team.
"Hey, old K."
As soon as Buckley came in, he saw Lao Wang, immediately waved and shouted, and trotted over.
"You guys are getting special treatment. You don't live in the Olympic Village during the Olympic Games, but you actually stay in a hotel. It's so boring!" Lao Wang said disdainfully.
"Of course the hotel is more comfortable." O'Neill walked over and shouted.
"It's so comfortable. The hotel doesn't have any Olympic atmosphere. This is where Olympic athletes should stay," Lao Wang said.
"Old K is right, your basketball team is doing something special." Carl Lewis shouted next to him.
"What other Olympics are you participating in while staying in a hotel?"
Many athletes from the U.S. delegation shouted dissatisfied. It seems that they are also dissatisfied with the specialization of the basketball team.
A group of members of the Dream Team 3 were attacked and made very embarrassed.
Reggie Miller immediately threw the blame and shouted: "You can't blame us. The Dream Team has been staying in the hotel since the first team. We are just doing it as usual. You go to them."
Barkley, Karl Malone, and Pippen were all members of the Dream Team. At the same time, they glared at Reggie Miller, "Who are you looking for? Who are you looking for? We seniors haven't spoken yet. Do you, a junior like you, fart?"
Don't understand any rules at all.
Lao Wang was watching the show and enjoyed it very much. He said to Wang Zhizhi and others: "Look, they are unpopular. These birdies must be punished and let them fight in their nests."
Gong Xiaobin and Hu Weidong laughed a few times but couldn't say anything.
The U.S. men's basketball team punished them very hard at the World Championships the year before last. One of them, O'Neal, who was making waves under the basket, left a very deep impression on them. Facing this group of people, they couldn't let go.
After being criticized a lot by their own people, a group of Dream Team 3 members originally came to the Olympic Village to pick up girls. The first thing they did when they entered the village was that everyone received a lot of free TTs provided by the Olympic Village. Now they don’t even care about breakfast.
To eat, you can only leave early.
"Old K, it's you who caused us trouble." O'Neal complained before leaving.
"Shark, you didn't hug Jordan's lap this time, congratulations!" Lao Wang said with a smile.
"Hey!" O'Neal's big face turned into a smile, and he made several strange faces to express his excitement.
"You are so lucky if you didn't succeed in forming a group, otherwise it would have been your next big dream." Lao Wang waved his hand to drive people away.
"Old K, what do you mean?"
Dameng was about to turn around and leave when he heard this and roared angrily.
"Pfft!" Barkley laughed.
Dameng glared at Barkley fiercely, turned back and said angrily to Lao Wang: "Old K, you are not convinced, are you? Let's continue this season."
Lao Wang sneered disdainfully and said, "The Lakers sold both Divac and Campbell. Do you think I don't know?"
The big dream comes to a halt, well, the Lakers are going to be ruined, and everyone in the world knows it.
Lao Wang looked around and was a little confused. Why are these twelve guys from the third dream team all bulging in their trouser pockets?
"What are you pretending to be?"
"Don't!"
O'Neal happened to be right next to him, and he took out a handful. When the former noticed it, he hurriedly pulled it out and made a sound. His trouser pocket was torn and the tt fell to the ground.
Lao Wang's eyes widened and he burst into laughter, and then the whole restaurant burst into laughter.
The beautiful lady Fu didn't see it, so she quickly put her feet up and stretched out her head to take a look. When she saw it, she quickly retracted her head and her face turned red.
"Charles, is this the brand you endorse?" Lao Wang asked while laughing.
"Go away, I stopped endorsing this thing a long time ago." Buckley said with a dark face.
He took out a handful of TT from his pocket, put it in front of Lao Wang's desk, and said angrily: "Here you go, you use a lot, they don't have enough."
"Why do I use so much?"
Lao Wang hurriedly declined, but it was too late. Barkley took the lead, and O'Neal and the others followed, each with a handful, a total of twelve. Even the postman and Stockton took the opportunity to join him, and the TTs in front of him quickly piled up a small amount.
heap.
"These bastards!"
After glaring at the Dream Team 3 who were leaving happily, Lao Wang cursed helplessly. Then he looked at the restaurant, where a group of women of all colors were staring at him and drooling. When they saw him looking over, they all waved to him.
It only took twenty minutes to eat breakfast. Lao Wang received a dozen small notes from beautiful women of all kinds. On average, a girl came over to ask him out every minute and a half, which made his head feel big. After breakfast
, quickly slipped away.
Hu Weidong and others secretly complained, "You can leave as soon as you leave. What are you doing with those things? Do you really want to do a big sowing in the Olympic Village?"
"Old K, if you come to pick me up, I can't get into the Olympic Village."
"I'll come over and take a look. You may not be able to come in."
After breakfast, Lao Wang was walking in the Olympic Village to eat when Kobe called and he picked Kobe in.
Originally he thought he wouldn't be able to get in because Kobe was not an Olympic athlete, but he was really wrong. When he brought Kobe in, the guard just asked for his signature and let him in. He didn't care who Kobe was. This might be the so-called
Celebrity effect.
"I will also participate in the Olympics in the future." Kobe looked at the Olympic Village curiously after coming in.
"Remember, you must live in the Olympic Village in the future. Only when you live here can you enjoy the atmosphere." Lao Wang warned.
"oh."
Kobe nodded and asked excitedly: "Old K, please teach me my steps. You also need to teach me your post-up skills."
Lao Wang said: "I will teach you the pace, but which back-fighting technique do you want to learn?"
"How many post-up skills do you have? Okay, you really have it secret!" Kobe shouted in surprise.
"Bullshit! The illegal shoulder use rule has been introduced. I have improved my low back hitting technique. Do you want to learn what I am doing now, or continue to learn what I did before?" Lao Wang scolded.
Kobe immediately said: "Of course I will learn them all. The position on the court is not fixed. Maybe I will play in the low post?"
"That's okay."
Lao Wang nodded and motioned for Kobe to follow.
The two found a secluded corner, and he began to teach Kobe the bear step.
"Remember, this step is called the Bear Step, and it is specifically designed to match my back-fighting technique."
"Bear step?"
"Well, it's a cat like a giant panda, not a bear like a bear."
"...Isn't it a bear walk? How can it be a cat walk?" Kobe was a little confused in his mind.
"The characteristic of the cat's walk is not, you kid, don't mislead me. This is the bear's walk, the giant panda's cat..."
"No, it's still a cat?"
"...Kobe, can you shut up? Otherwise, get out of here!"
After teaching for half an hour, he dismissed Kobe and said he still had to train.
In the next few days, I will teach Kobe Bryant for half an hour every day. This pace is not difficult. As long as you understand the trick, the rest is to practice hard until it becomes the instinct of the body.
What he practiced was not the real bear step, and the force-discharging technique he taught Kobe was not the iron-mountain technique, but the system-optimized bear step and force-discharging techniques.
At 11:30, Citibank sent one million US dollars in cash. They were all 100-dollar notes, one hundred sheets per roll, a total of one hundred rolls.
When the money was delivered, the entire Chinese delegation, from the delegation leader to the athletes, was shocked.
"Pay attention to safety!" Seeing that he had obtained so much cash, Bureau Wu's head was pounding.
"Bureau Wu, why don't you discuss it with Wang Tiejun and let our Sports Committee ask him to exchange some US dollars?" Deputy Director Yuan said.
"Is it appropriate?" Wu Ju hesitated.
"The Basketball Department replaced a batch of the best equipment in the world last year. I heard that the results are very good. Other projects have already been drooling." Director Yuan advised.
"Then, you can decide what to do, discuss it with him, and don't raise any objections." Director Wu warned.
Director Yuan nodded and said: "It should be no problem. His original warehouse on Fengshen Street was sold to him by us. Now I heard that we can bring back tens of millions of dollars every year, all of which is in the hands of the Chaoyang District Government."
, it should be no problem for us to exchange part of it with him."
Then, he actually went to find Lao Wang.
When Lao Wang heard that the Sports Committee was planning to purchase a batch of imported equipment for various projects, it was a good thing. There was no reason not to agree. Anyway, the US dollars in his hand had no other use. They would either keep them in Chaoyang District or exchange them for Cangzhou.
, of course you can give part of it to the Sports Committee.
On the 18th, Ben called and chatted with Lao Wang for a few words. This made Lao Wang think about Dayao and decided to contact Oakley.
Oakley helped Ben Wallace go to college. He had no other options in the United States and wanted to find someone to help him.
But he didn't want Dayao to go to Virginia Union, so he didn't want Oakley.
He took out his cell phone and looked through it. He found Muthobom's phone number and called it.
"Hello, old K, is that you?"
"It's me, Lao Mu, I need your help with something, and I've decided to treat you to eat chicken ten times."
"Then just say it quickly and make it as easy as possible."
"Okay, I need an invitation to the Georgetown University basketball team."
"Do you have any good seeds?"
"Of course, otherwise why would he be looking for you? But he is in China, so he needs your recommendation."
"Okay, I'll contact you as soon as possible. You wait for my news. Also, give me the child's information."
"ok."
…
On the 19th, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
On this day, Fengshen Street was very lively. Bai Changsheng opened all the open-air basketball courts behind South Street. Dozens of large TVs were turned on. Countless capital sports fans gathered here to watch the opening ceremony collectively.
Lao Wang's house in Fengshen Street was also very lively. Not only CCTV 5 sent an interview team to the house, but Capital TV and Cangzhou TV also arranged interview teams. These people totaled nine people, and other relatives and friends in Beijing also came.
A lot of them.
The opening ceremony is in progress. Old American President Kirsten announced the start of the Olympic Games. The person who lit the torch was boxing champion Ali.
"Let's go, everyone, follow me."
Originally the flag bearer for this session was Liu Yudong, but he was usurped by Lao Wang. When it was the turn of the Chinese team to take the field, he waved the red flag and walked out quickly. His steps were too big and too hasty, and there were two to three hundred people behind him.
He hurriedly followed and walked out quickly. A short guy like Deng Yaping could just run.
"Ouch! Slow down, those at the back should line up, don't mess around!"
"Serious, serious, and disciplined!"
"Stop the queue!"
"This Wang Tiejun is too irritable!"
Several leaders of the delegation hurriedly shouted from behind. Liu Yumin was so anxious that he wiped his sweat from his eyes, but he hid behind and did not dare to say a word.
"Look, I'm out, he's the one carrying the red flag." Da Ya pointed at the TV at Lao Wang's house in the capital and shouted.
"well!"
Wang Aiguo and Liu Damei's faces were filled with smiles.
From the day Wang Tiejun was selected into Cangzhou Sports School, they had dreamed of their son participating in the Olympics and bringing glory to the country, and today it finally came true.
Their son made a lot of money in the United States, but they still felt that something was missing, and now they feel that they have made up for it.
