Chapter 339 The So-Called Beijing Circle
Liu Yumin noticed Zhao Dong's gaze, and introduced: "That's a 110-meter hurdle seedling who just entered the national team from Shanghai. It seems to be called Liu Xiang. Next to him is his coach Sun Haiping. I heard that this young man has good potential. "

Sun Haiping in the distance noticed Liu Yumin's side at this moment, but the tall Zhao Dong was the first to catch his attention. How could he not recognize him?
"Zhao Dong, do you want to go and have a look?" Liu Yumin asked.

"Look." Zhao Dong nodded and smiled.

Seeing the three of Liu Yumin approaching, Sun Haiping hurried up to meet them, and greeted from a long distance away: "Chu Liu, Mr. Zhao, hello. Are you Zhao Dong? Hello, hello."

After several people met and shook hands, Liu Yumin said, "Coach Sun, Zhao Dong and Mr. Zhao came over today to see how the new base is being used.

You have also been training here for more than two months, how do you feel about it? "

"it is good!"

Sun Haiping immediately gave her thumbs up and said in admiration: "Let's talk about the trainers first, we didn't know many concepts they taught us before, and we were too behind in strength training.

In terms of equipment, it is very effective in improving training, and it is so professional!Although we have only been here for two months, we have already tasted the sweetness.

For example, the underwater treadmill, my God, it is too strong, and the pressure and loss on joints such as knees can be reduced to the weakest, which is so important for athletes! "

"It's just too expensive!"

Liu Yumin nodded, then shook his head again.

Zhao Dong spent tens of millions of dollars, and only made two sets of that kind of underwater treadmill. There are so many athletes, and they can't take a round in the queue for ten days, so they can only be used by the best batch of athletes.

Sun Haiping also nodded. The Liu Xiang he brought had only tasted it once, only once in two months, and then he was excluded from the qualification.

Zhao Dongdao: "That equipment is indeed very expensive, because it is a laboratory product, and it has not yet been put on sale. It costs 30 US dollars each."

"$30? Oh my god!"

Liu Yumin and Sun Haiping were shocked.

At this time, their monthly salary plus various subsidies is only about 200 yuan. It is unimaginable that a running machine costs more than [-] million yuan.

Zhao Dong said with a smile: "This laboratory is from Japan. I bought it last year. After the underwater treadmill was made, I also used it. The effect is really good. If you think it is also good, I will make another batch next time." .”

"The laboratory is yours, why is it still so expensive?" Zhao Dacheng said.

"Research costs money, a lot of money. That is to say, I am the boss, and the experimental products are not sold out. Some patents have not been applied for, and I will not sell them for more money." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Bata!"

Several people looked around, and it turned out that Liu Xiang had bumped into a fence, the rhythm was out of order, and the fence behind it fell down.

"Concentrate!"

Sun Haiping immediately shouted loudly.

"oh oh!"

Liu Xiang, who stopped, quickly agreed, looking at Zhao Dong from time to time, obviously Zhao Dong's arrival distracted him.

Disturbing others' training, Zhao Dong and Sun Haiping chatted for a few more words before leaving.

After they left, Liu Xiang, who had been training all the time, ran to Sun Haiping's side and complained, "Master, my idol Flying Dragon is here, and you didn't call me over?"

Sun Haiping glared at Liu Xiang and said, "Which green onion are you now? Flying Dragon knows you? Hurry up and train. Hurry up. Flying Dragon said just now that you need to buy that kind of underwater treadmill, so you can ride it in the future."

"Really?"

Liu Xiang was pleasantly surprised.

He tried it once, and fell in love with the underwater treadmill. It was very fun, and the water could give him a massage while training.

"Liu Chu, is Brother Hu here?" Zhao Dong asked.

"He called the day before yesterday, and he will come over tomorrow for rehabilitation, and he has already booked a ticket." Liu Yumin laughed.

Walking around the base, Zhao Dong met many familiar athletes and stopped to chat with each other from time to time. After a round, it was noon.

We had lunch at the base at noon, and in the afternoon Zhao Dong went to the headquarters.

He was selected as the ambassador for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, and there are several others, including Chenglong, Gong Li, Yang Lan, Sang Nan, Deng Yaping, including him, a total of six.

The next day, early in the morning on July 7th, Zhao Dong got up when he received a call from Hu Weidong, saying that he had got off the plane.

"one person?"

"And Yu Fei, hehe."

"That's okay, you make arrangements in the morning, and I will treat you at noon."

"Okay!"

At noon, Zhao Dong met Hu Weidong and his fiancée Yu Fei.

Yu Fei is a veteran, and he has a hearty personality. Zhao Dong grew up in the compound, and he felt familiar when he saw her.

"I'm called sister-in-law!" He joked.

"Okay!"

Yu Fei responded and smiled at Hu Weidong.

Hu Weidong smiled and said, "That's for sure. We've made an appointment. We'll get married on National Day, and then Yu Fei will go to America with me."

"Congratulations!" Zhao Dong laughed.

"Wells called me, and my deal has been negotiated, and the deal will be made as soon as the deal freeze period expires." Hu Weidong laughed.

"Oh, he didn't tell me, so what about these two days, which team?" Zhao Dong asked.

"Wizards." Hu Weidong said.

Zhao Dong smiled and said: "Yes, the lineup is a bit bad, and there is a chance. How about the contract?"

Hu Weidong laughed and was very satisfied at first glance. He said: "3+1 contract, player option for the last year, $2610 million."

Zhao Dong nodded and said with a smile: "After paying the tax, there is still 1500 million left. By the way, the storm will be redeemed from next month. You should have 400 million US dollars with principal and interest, and you will sign a new contract soon." Yes, I think you are not short of money, give me the money, and I will continue to invest in you."

"That's great!"

Hu Weidong was overjoyed, but asked doubtfully, "Didn't it mean that the storm was about to dissipate?"

"Soon I will set up an investment bank in Beijing, but this time it is not a financial investment, but an industrial investment in China." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Have you opened a bank? Congratulations!" Hu Weidong laughed.

Zhao Dong explained: "This investment is a closed-end investment fund. It is a medium-to-long-term investment with a relatively long period of time. There are three types: ten years, 15 years, and 20 years. It cannot be redeemed before maturity."

"No problem, just hand over the money to you. If you invest in the country and lose money, I will build the motherland." Hu Weidong laughed.

At this moment, Zhao Dong's cell phone rang, and it was Wells' call.

"Hello, Ringer, any news?" He asked after connecting.

"Flying Dragon, the Bulls want the bus, and the contract is not bad, 2+1, player option, the total is 654 million US dollars, almost the contract at the end of the lottery show." Wells said.

"Okay, let him go." Zhao Dong said.

"By the way, Feilong, the postman and Philadelphia have renewed their contract, a 3+1 big contract, 7600 million US dollars."

"Never mind him, he's already dying." Zhao Dong said indifferently.

After chatting for a few more words, the two ended the phone call.

"Brother Hu, the bus goes to the Bulls, 2+1, player option, $654 million, the center is tighter, stronger than your first contract."

"My total is 305 million, which is not half of his. The insider is indeed valuable." Hu Weidong laughed.

Zhao Dong said with a smile: "You and he didn't participate in the draft, and directly entered the team, the contract will be better."

Two days later, Ringo Wells brought him a few boxing trainers and sparring partners. He started boxing training at the Dongcheng base. He practiced for three hours every morning, mainly training techniques and fighting actual combat, and rested in the afternoon. .

On Lindsay's side, the plan has been revised, and a group of her elite subordinates have also come to Beijing, preparing to establish an investment bank in Beijing.

On the 8th, Zhao Dong's father, Zhao Zhenguo, was transferred from the public security system to serve as the executive deputy director of the Planning and Development Commission (formerly the Planning Commission, later the Development and Reform Commission).

At noon on July 7th, Zhao Dong finished training, and when he got out of the shower, he saw Zhao Dacheng.

"Brother, let's go, come with me to meet some friends, I've organized a dinner." Zhao Dacheng smiled.

"In the compound?" Zhao Dong said casually.

"Of course." Zhao Dacheng smiled.

Both of their brothers were born in the compound, and they moved out of the compound after their grandfather Zhao Zhongguo and grandma retired, but their main social circle is still in the compound. A certain social circle is wider than that of ordinary children in the big courtyard.

The Beijing compound is a self-contained system, with food, drink, and sala, and a small society is formed inside. The children of the compound basically make friends with those in the courtyard, and rarely interact with outsiders. In China, it can be said that It belongs to the noble class.

Zhao Dong has stayed in the United States for the past five years, and he hasn't had contact with the children of the big courtyard for a long time, and Zhao Dacheng mainly lives in this circle.

There were too many people in the compound, and Zhao Dong didn't know many people, so he asked, "What are you doing?"

"Those who engage in literature, those who make movies and TV shows." Zhao Dacheng said.

"From the film and television industry?"

Only then did Zhao Dong remember that his eldest brother had opened a film and television company.

But he has no interest in this line of work. In his previous life, this line of work was rotten, and the social atmosphere was ruined. Some didn't want to go, and said, "How about next time?"

"Oh, what next time, just this time. We have made an appointment, and people are waiting. If you don't go, people will say that you are playing big cards, and you are all gangsters in the compound. It will be difficult to get along next time."

Zhao Dacheng said anxiously.

"I'm already a big name, so what's the point of playing around? A few guys in the entertainment industry, old and young, am I not qualified in front of them? What is the level of our old man and the old lady, and what is the level of their older generation?" Zhao Dong disdain road.

He really disdains it, because the ranks in the compound are strict, the older generation has a higher rank, and the younger generation has a higher status, and he has long been used to this.

For example, Wang Su, who was born in the compound, his father was just an ordinary staff officer without a leader, so his status in the compound was average.

He himself later developed in literature. A book planner named Jin Lihong wanted to publish a collection of works for him, and found him through his father.

This Jin Lihong also belonged to the compound, and her father's position was higher than that of Wang Su's father, so Wang Su's father was very polite to Jin Lihong, a junior, and Jin Lihong also took this kind of politeness from the elders for granted.

So brothers Zhao Dong, Wang Su, and Jin Lihong, the children of the big courtyard, have long been accustomed to this kind of hierarchical seating and are very sensitive.

"Why so much nonsense? It's because they want to meet you. Are you a big boss? Go, go." Zhao Dacheng simply got started, pushing Zhao Dong forward from behind.

The two brothers came outside the gate laughing and laughing, and were surrounded by the media again. Zhao Dong answered a few questions before getting in the car and leaving.

"Brother, why are these media here? I have to deal with them in and out every day now, how quiet is it for them to stay outside the parking lot?" Zhao Dong asked.

"It was not put in at the beginning, but later the media said that we were not close to the people, so we had to put it in." Zhao Dacheng, who was driving the car, said angrily.

"fart!"

Zhao Dong said disdainfully: "From tomorrow on, let them wait outside the parking lot, don't let them in."

"All right, you have the final say. If you are annoying, we will go around the back next time, and there will be no reporters behind." Zhao Dacheng said.

"Who is there?" Zhao Dong asked.

"Ma Modu, Wang Su, Jiang Wen, Cui Jian, Cheng Kai, just these five, all of them are half a generation older than us, you all know Kai, Ma Modu, and even Dad's generation." Zhao Dacheng road.

"Brother, my dad didn't look at these people before, of course he still does now, if dad knows that you are messing with them now, can't he beat you to death?"

Zhao Dong looked at his brother with disdain.

Zhao Dacheng almost jumped up from the driver's seat, and shouted excitedly: "What nonsense, can I mix with them? What level is our family, what strength is it now, they are all messing with me now, since I entered this business , they mess with me."

"That's about the same." Zhao Dong laughed.

In the compound, although the hierarchy is strict, there is still one thing, that is economic strength.

There was no such thing before, but now it is changed. Economic strength is particularly important, and everything depends on money.

If you get along well, even if the older generation is low-ranking, you still have face in the compound.

Those who do not do well, even if the older generation are at the national level, they are just superficially honored. They eat and drink outside based on their status, and they are also looked down upon in private.

For example, Ma Modu publicly ridiculed several descendants of the national level and the old handsome, saying that they have all been reduced to the point where they eat and drink.

Like the Zhao family, the older generation is of good rank, and now they have money. They have the most face in the compound, and their status is quite high. Anyone who meets them has to look straight at them, without looking sideways.

So when Zhao Dacheng said that those people were messing with him now, Zhao Dong didn't doubt it.

"Brother, how long has your film and television company been in business?"

"It's been half a year, and I'll leave as soon as you leave."

"Is there any work?"

Zhao Dacheng said unhappily: "Damn it, Wang Shuo introduced several projects, but they all lost money. Recently, Wang Su and the others got me another project, Feng Xiaogang's movie called Endless, I voted for 500 million , considered a big investor, said that it will be released during the Chinese New Year.

Do you know Feng Xiaogang?He was mixed with Wang Su, not from the compound, and he made two New Year's films in the past two years. He made this stuff, and he has some skills.It is said that some Huayi company wanted to vote for his film, but I voted, and it was not the turn of that poor company. "

Zhao Dong thought for a while and said, "Next year, Lindsay and I will focus our careers in China, and there will be many projects to be done at that time, so why don't you start one?"

Zhao Dacheng thought for a while and said: "Forget it, your projects must be big things, I can't do whatever I want, don't hold you back."

Zhao Dong smiled, nodded and said: "That's fine, if you want to work in the film and television industry, then do it well and become the leader in this industry."

"Can it work?" Zhao Dacheng said excitedly.

"What's wrong? In the film and television industry, what is different is money? Doesn't our family have any money?" Zhao Dong laughed.

While the two brothers were chatting, in a private room of the Beijing Hotel, Jiang Wen and Wang Su were chatting about their brothers.

"Zhao Dong is a lot younger than us, and we are half a generation younger than his father. We haven't had much contact with him before. I heard that the fights were fierce in the compound." Cui Jian said.

"The two brothers often fight. Zhao Dacheng has specially trained for it. Zhao Dong is more aggressive. He is tall and strong. Every time he fights, he rushes to the front. Once he hit our air force compound, many boys were beaten. , hide when you see the two brothers." Ma Modu said.

Jiang Wen said with a smile: "The air force is not very big. It would be a ghost if it can outperform the Zhao brothers. If you are injured, you may not be able to be an air force. You must hide."

"You can tell by reading the news. In places like the United States, there are frequent fights. Even Tyson was defeated. Can you not be good?" Cui Jian said with a smile.

"His brother has a pretty good personality. He laughs and laughs when we meet. His personality may not be easy to get along with. He used to ignore us and was a little arrogant."

Frowning, Wang Su looked a little worried, and added: "As proud as his father Brother Zhenguo."

Speaking of Zhao Zhenguo, several people here lowered their heads.

Zhao Zhenguo is half a generation older than Brother Cheng Kai and Wang Su. He looks seven or eight years old, and he is ten years older than Jiang Wen. Classes are different.

Zhao Zhenguo's contacts were all descendants of generals, and later he was promoted quickly after joining the army. Before he changed his job, he reached the rank of division commander and deputy army.

Unlike them, who are the scumbags in the film and television circles and literary circles, Zhao Zhenguo is the proud son of the big courtyard's children, and he is very proud. He doesn't look at them at all, and they can't hold their heads up in front of Zhao Zhenguo. No, it should be said that they There was no contact with Zhao Zhenguo at all.

"Brother Zhen Guo just joined the club from a local area yesterday. He is less than fifty, and he still has to be promoted. The proud son of heaven!" Brother Cheng Kai sighed.

"Before you retire, you can go up to at least one level, or even two levels. The first level is the main department, and the second level is..." Wang Su shook his head and sighed.

"Let's not talk about Zhenguo brother, Genzheng Miaohong, the older generation is a double player, it's too shocking! Let's talk about Zhao Dong, he does have the capital of pride, he is tall and big, fights fiercely, handsome and Smart, he was admitted to a prestigious American school with his own ability, can he not be proud? Look at his current achievements, I am also proud." Jiang Wen smiled wryly.

To be honest, they are all proud outside, but they are outside, inside the compound, so they can't be proud, just pick a few inside, they can make them bow their heads.

For example, in the literary circle, Wang Su is proud of everyone he sees and is very noble, but between the lines in his novels, there is no such lofty arrogance. Instead, his characters all have a kind of resistance of the weak.

Why, because Wang Su's status in the circle of the compound is very low, he is not allowed to be arrogant, nor is he allowed to be lofty. Here is in a weak position.
