Chapter 25: Convincing People with Reason
When Sun Pan kept venting his emotions with swear words in his room, he fell into a dead silence in the room of Guo Bing, the leader of the National Olympic Team.
There were four people in this room, but none of them spoke, as if none of them were angry people.
Guo Bing, the leader of the National Olympic Team, Brazevic, the head coach of the National Olympic Team, Jiang Xiaojun, the translator of Brazevic, and Zhou Yi, the captain of the National Olympic Team.
None of the four spoke.
Guo Bing looked at Zhou Yi, and Zhou Yi was also looking at Guo Bing. The two looked at each other but did not have a conversation.
Brazevic closed his eyes and pretended to be sleeping, as if the two people confronted him had nothing to do with him.
The most embarrassing thing here is Jiang Xiaojun, the translator of Brazevic, because he was originally a translator and he had no decision-making ability. Nothing that happened in this room had to do with him. But now he heard some amazing content, which made him a little scared - if the things he heard were revealed to the media, it would probably cause a stir in China...
The silence between the four people lasted for unknown periods, and it was not until Guo Bing spoke out.
"Zhou Yi, this is the delegation's decision."
Zhou Yi nodded: "I know, Brother Guo. But Sun Pan did nothing wrong and could not punish him."
Translator Jiang Xiaojun lowered his head, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to read it - before a few minutes of silence, the last sentence both sides said was these two.
After going around, I returned to the starting point.
However, this time, Guo Bing was obviously a little anxious. Facing Zhou Yi with a calm face, he frowned and said, "Why don't you understand, Zhou Yi? This time, it was either public punishment or banned from the team. He was asked to write a review within the delegation and apologize to the outside world, and said that he was impulsive and was a little excited after winning the ball. It was an unintentional statement and was maliciously misinterpreted by the media... It's over! You see, this is not a very simple... What a big deal?
Yu is so stubborn! You should know that this is already a very slight punishment. In fact, it is just a formality and meaning. It is not a big deal... You understand it this way, Zhou Yi is equivalent to a step, letting the National Olympic Team give the delegation leadership a step... In fact, this is a big deal. Maybe you didn't go online and don't know how big the matter is now. There are already ambassadors in South Korea pay attention to this matter. This is a political incident! Don't be so childish, okay?"
Guo Bing said so much in one breath without hiding the anxiety in his tone.
Zhou Yi did not interrupt him. After hearing him say everything in one breath, he smiled and said, "I don't know much about politics. When I was in school, I never just passed the political class, ha! But Brother Guo, I know that if a person did nothing wrong, he shouldn't ask him to apologize..."
Seeing Zhou Yi say this, Guo Bing becomes anxious again: "That's not what he said. Zhou Yi, you are so scholarly, but I don't think you are such a person, Zhou Yi!"
"Listen to me, Brother Guo. You said I was childish, but this time it was not. Let me analyze it carefully. Let's put aside the emotional factors and analyze it rationally. Look at what I said. First of all, I understand Sun Pan. His temper is actually very stubborn. If the leader of the group asked him to apologize publicly and conduct internal review, it would be like a slap in his face. Do you think he would accept such a punishment decision? After his bad temper came up, everything would be done. At that time, he slapped out of the outside, the media hyped it up, and netizens cursed it. What should the leader of the group? Yes, they can fire Sun Pan out of the team, but Brother Guo, do you think there is any benefit to doing this? After Sun Pan was fired, the leader of the group was saved? No, right? The outside will only scold him more fiercely. Of course, if the leaders are not afraid of scolding, then pretend I didn't say it..." Zhou Yi spread his hands and said.
"After Sun Pan was fired, did the people of the National Olympic Team agree? I don't think so? Do the team still have combat effectiveness? I don't think so. Seeing a team that has hope to hit the medals fall apart, what benefits does this matter have to us in the end? Do you think it will have any impact on Sun Pan's personal career? No. Atletico Madrid and Chelsea do whatever he should do. He earns a lot of money and has a lot of honors and champions. Does he care about an Olympic champion? Join the national team? I think if he really breaks apart this time, he probably won't care about any national team."
"Brother Guo, do you think what I said is right? Who will do this? What's the use? Maybe you can only please Koreans. But will you let Koreans forgive us for this? I don't think so. Because even if this is not the case, Koreans are not very friendly to us. Of course, of course, most Koreans are friendly, but I have never seen those 'most friendly Koreans'..." Zhou Yi shrugged with an aggrieved expression.
Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Guo Bing frowned, fell into deep thought, and said nothing.
"The above is the result of the compromise if we really compromised to calm the anger of the Koreans. Brother Guo, do you think what I analyzed is right? Is this true? Will things really develop according to the route I said? But what if we ignore the Koreans? They scold and protest at will? What impact will it have on us? Let me be polite, Brother Guo. It is already 2012, and the Korean War has ended for 61 years. The history of imperialist powers who can conquer a country with a few cannons on the coastline is gone forever. Can their ambassadors make us surrender with a few words of protest? No? China is now so powerful that they don't need to pay attention to those stingy voices, right? If you say that the International Olympic Committee protests, the delegation will give people face. I understand this. But a Korean ambassador yells and wants us to kneel down to them. Why? Who is he? "
At the end of Zhou Yi's words, he was already in it with a very obvious emotion, but Guo Bing did not remind Zhou Yi that he should now calmly and objectively analyze rationally.
"I'm not good to say, Brother Guo. What do you think South Korea has the right to point fingers at us in front of us? On the size of the country, on history, on economy, on military affairs... Which one is better than China? Well, football, they are indeed better than us, but yesterday, didn't we eliminate them? What is the barking of a loser worth paying attention to? Just because of such a small thing, the main goalkeeper of our team will publicly apologize? If Sun Pan does something wrong, I support him to apologize, and see that he did not do anything wrong. What was he wrong? Brother Guo, you have also read this game, right
Is it? To be honest, are there any problems with the two penalty kicks of the Korean team? When did they have sports ethics? During their local World Cup in 2002, were they doing less morals? Did they care about the protests and public opinion influence of other countries at that time? They were all shameless, why should we be blamed for them for being groundless? So, I firmly oppose any punishment for Sun Pan, even if it is a little bit of a formality, it is not possible. People will not think about whether this is a formality. They only know that Sun Pan was forced to apologize to the Koreans. This kind of head cannot be played in the national Olympic team, Brother Guo.”
Then he paused and said, "My words are finished, Brother Guo. You can transfer all these words to the leaders of the group to see if the reason is said so. If you think it's hard to say, I can go and tell them directly..."
When Guo Bing heard this, he shook his head and waved his hand: "You'd better not go..."
"Then Brother Guo, do you think what I said is right? Is this the reason?" Zhou Yi looked at Guo Bing and asked.
Faced with Zhou Yi's stare, Guo Bing sighed: "Rule is this, but some things... it's not enough to just talk about the truth, otherwise why are there so many troubles in this world?"
"If the team leader must punish me, I hope to punish me after all the games of the National Olympic Team are finished. And don't punish Sun Pan, I'm right. Anyway, I am the captain of the team. If someone in the team makes a mistake, I should indeed be punished. No matter what, it should not interfere with the team's normal preparations and competitions. We are really not here to play soybeans, but to achieve results. I personally don't want this small thing to affect the team's performance. If you win the gold medal, are you happy, Brother Guo?"
Hearing Zhou Yi say this, Guo Bing's frown before finally stretched out, and a smile appeared on his face: "You kid still know how to think about you Brother Guo? You know how to cause trouble for Brother Guo and ask Brother Guo to wipe your butt!"
Zhou Yi also smiled: "Brother Guo is the butler. Those who are capable work harder, hehe. And this is not possible except you..."
He met Guo Bing when he was in the national team, so he had such a conversation. Guo Bing was the deputy team leader in the national team and the national Olympic team. The two of them cooperated happily in the Asian Cup. So after Zhou Yi said so much, Guo Bing could not interrupt him and listen to them all.
He saw Zhou Yi's ability on and off the court with his own eyes. He knew that this child was mature that was inconsistent with his age, and was definitely a reliable person. He would not talk nonsense.
Speaking of this, everyone present knew that this matter was solved. Sure enough, Guo Bing nodded: "Okay, I'll block this matter for you. But you must get a medal back, I won't talk about the gold medal. The pressure is too great, and the bronze medal is fine! I think I will explain it to you when I get a medal back."
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "How can the bronze medal be good? The poor quality does not represent our determination and intention. Brother Guo, don't worry, it is definitely a gold medal!"
Zhou Yi said so firmly, but Guo Bing only thought Zhou Yi was pleasing him, shook his head and said, "You... But when you go back, you must let Sun Pan take care of his mouth and stop causing trouble for me!"
