Sports Honor Harvester

Chapter 41 Athlete Flying Solo

"The training team wants to rob me...it's really troublesome." Ye Ling nodded.

"So what's the trouble? This is something that a celebrity should bear. Don't you want to be famous?" Ma Jun said with a smile.

"Famous people want to be famous, but who wants to give half of their endorsement fees to the training team?" Ye Ling just said this, and suddenly felt that what he said was wrong, and then said:
"Director Ma, you also know that my [-]-meter strength was not trained by a training team at all. I only trained under that Yuan Guoqiang training team for a month, and I shared a training team with Su Feiren. Before the game, I was specially separated from Su Feiren's training team. If I had been training with a training team, I would have given half of the endorsement fee to the team without complaint, but you said that if I got some endorsement fees Wouldn't it be too bad to divide them in half?"

Ma Jun nodded. Of course he understood that Ye Ling had always relied on his physical talent to break records, and it had nothing to do with the training team. No matter if Ye Ling cooperates with any training team now, that training team will make a lot of money. , It can even be said to be something for nothing.

And this "win" is huge. With Ye Ling's current popularity, the advertising endorsement fee will definitely not be small. If anyone can take advantage of Ye Lingguang's share of the pie, it will be like a pie in the sky.

"Is there no way to get me out of the system?" Ye Ling hesitated and asked.

Ma Jun was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Ye Ling to ask such a question, so he said, "Get out of the system, brat, you really have the guts, you want to leave the system just after debut, don't you want to go solo? ?”

Solo!

It is also a career system that many athletes choose for their own interests and development.

To put it simply, under China’s national sports system, before the solo flight, most of the athlete’s competition fees, training fees, and housing and transportation are covered by the state, and of course most of the bonuses and endorsement fees are also given to the state; after the solo flight, the above-mentioned The athletes have to pay for the expenses themselves. Of course, the state still has a certain amount of financial support. Most of the bonuses and endorsement fees are taken by themselves, and very little is handed over to the state.

However, in the development of solo athletes, most of them ended in failure. In history, there is only one athlete who has made great achievements after solo, and she is Li Na, who won the tennis Grand Slam.

"That's right, I just want to fly solo, like that sister." Ye Ling smiled.

Ma Jun shook his head, he really did not expect Ye Ling to have such an idea, "Ye Ling, you think things too simply, it is not so easy for Chinese athletes to fly solo, how many athletes want to fly solo But you can’t get the approval from above, and it’s not only difficult to get approval, but once you make the choice to fly solo, it means you will definitely break up with the higher-ups, which doesn’t do much good for you who just debuted.”

"Is it hard to fly solo..." Ye Ling frowned and said.

"If you only place the case on Li Na, you are very wrong. In 2009, the Tennis Center announced that as long as tennis players pay 12% of advertising fees and 8% of bonus fees, and guarantee to participate in national competitions The country allows tennis players to fly solo.” Ma Jun paused and said, “But the country has not yet promulgated the standards for track and field athletes, and no track and field athlete in Chinese history would choose to fly solo, so it’s not worth it. "

Track and field athletes don’t get much bonuses, and the endorsement fees are not as high as football, basketball, tennis and other endorsement fees, so most track and field athletes will not choose to fly solo. After all, once they choose to fly solo, training expenses and the like The cost of flying is also a big expense. Athletes have little money, so it is better to leave these expenses to the country, so the solo flight is not worth the gain for track and field athletes.

If it is a normal track and field athlete, this is a well-known truth.

But Ye Ling shook his head, thinking: "I want to be the most versatile athlete in the world. Dominating the sports world is my dream. After a long time, all kinds of endorsement fees will be thrown at me overwhelmingly. I'm not stupid, I must get this solo flight system."

"Ye Ling, it's up to you whether you fly alone or not, but this matter has a lot to do with it, and it will have a considerable impact on your future career. I, Ma Jun, can't give you advice, let alone make decisions for you. , It’s really the first time in the history of track and field that you have the idea of ​​flying solo, you must carefully consider this matter.” Ma Jun warned.

……

Ye Ling and Ma Jun went to attend the last press meeting after some exchanges, and Ye Ling dealt with it according to the lines he had memorized in advance.

For some interviews with reporters, the athletes have to make a draft in advance. What questions they ask, just memorize the lines and it’s ok. These are things that only happen after becoming famous. Ye Ling has also gradually adapted to being famous. After some unspoken rules.

After the interview, Ye Ling went home silently.

After breaking the Asian record, the hottest athlete in the country was just like an ordinary person. There was no carnival or even any celebration, but he just returned home to rest silently.

However, Ye Ling couldn't stay idle the next day.

Ye Ling originally wanted to be quiet at home, but his parents accepted the visit from Ye Ling's alma mater.

Principal Li Hongman, Ye Ling's former track and field coach Gong Chenglong, and Ye Ling's former head teacher all came to Ye Ling's home.

Ye Ling is now the national champion and the Asian record holder. Xueqiao High School is also a small high school in a small corner. It is more explosive than the school to produce a Tsinghua University student.

Ye Ling also felt a lot of emotion when he saw everyone. He exchanged pleasantries with everyone, without any pretensions of being a national champion.

It's hard to imagine that the last time Ye Ling met them was a furry child, and Ye Ling still clearly remembered the day he crossed over, and he thought all of this was incredible.

"Ye Ling, the college entrance examination is less than a month away. You are now the national champion. I guess you can join any school now. So which school do you want to go to?" said Li Hongman, the principal of Xueqiao High School. Said.

Xueqiao High School has not had a student from Tsinghua University and Peking University for many years, and Ye Ling broke the Asian record. If Ye Ling wants to go, Tsinghua University and Peking University will definitely admit him.

If Ye Ling really chose Tsinghua University and Peking University, he would also give an assist to Xueqiao High School. Li Hongman would be very happy.
