146 The Blood of Xie Tao

In the office of the Boxing and Taekwon Center, leaders led by Xie Tao are already waiting for Huang Yifei. Moreover, with the explosive development of boxing, Xie Tao has been officially promoted from the previous deputy director of the Boxing Department to the Director of the Boxing Center, which means that this time Xie Tao will make the final decision.

Huang Yifei is familiar with Xie Tao and has a good impression of him. However, he also does not think that Xie Tao will abolish his public for personal gain. Whether for Xie Tao himself or Chinese boxing, the significance of an Olympic gold medal is of great significance.

Only when China's national strength improves and no longer needs Olympic gold medals to prove its national strength will the value of the Olympic champion decrease. Huang Yifei remembers that after this ten years of rapid development, by the 2016 Brazil Olympics, the Olympic champion's award was reduced from 500,000 in London to 200,000 yuan. Of course, this is just a direct reward from the state, and the others must be far more than this number.

In fact, it is not just China, but also the Olympic powers such as the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom, which are less prize money than China. On the contrary, some small countries have offered huge prize money. This also means that as the country's strength improves, it has begun to correct the concept of "gold medal first" in the past. The "gold medal complex" has been downplayed, which reflects stronger self-confidence and the return of the Olympic spirit.

But now it is only 2008. Huang Yifei can see what happened eight years later, but Xie Tao and the others will not know. So it is not easy to convince Xie Tao.

Sure enough, after Huang Yifei and Liang Feng entered the office, Xie Tao expressed his hope that Huang Yifei could compete for another Olympic Games for the motherland.

Hearing this sentence, Huang Yifei could only smile bitterly. Huang Yifei was unavoidable to fight for the country, but he had achieved the Olympic gold medal and continued to fight in the amateur boxing world for four years. This was meaningless to Huang Yifei himself.

"Director Xie, it's not that I don't want to fight for the country, but I have won the Olympic gold medal, which proves the Chinese's strength in amateur boxing. I personally think there is no need to continue to spend four years. And now the Chinese boxing youth training echelon has been trained, and I believe that more excellent boxers will emerge in four years."

"Yifei, I know your desire to play a profession, but you are indeed the most stable gold-winning point in Chinese boxing now, and you are also young. Even if you are fighting for another Olympics, there is no problem. I hope you can consider it."

Xie Tao didn't want to force Huang Yifei, and he liked this child very much. But when he was in his position, he had to do his own politics. In the Knights and Taekwon Center, Olympic gold medals and national honors are the most important, and personal gains and losses are ranked behind. This is a matter of being unable to simply judge who is right and who is wrong, and it is also a cruel thing.

Faced with this sentence, Huang Yifei was silent, which was also a heavy topic for him.

But at this moment, Liang Feng spoke, and he looked at Xie Tao and said lightly: "Old Xie, it's enough for our generation to devote all their youth to the country. Yifei, the child, has also worked hard for the country, and he should have some space for freedom. The Olympics requires a Chinese boxing champion, but the professional boxing world also needs a Chinese boxing champion to prove himself."

Hearing Liang Feng's words, Xie Tao did not reply, thinking that this evoked the memories of many of their first-generation boxers. Many people did not completely leave the boxing world after retirement. Liang Feng and Zhou Yunxiang were working hard to cultivate national boxing reserve talents. It can be said that their group of people dedicated their youth and life to Chinese boxing.

Xie Tao didn't say anything, but another big belly official in the conference room spoke: "Liang Feng, why are you talking? This is a matter of enlightenment. You were born as an athlete, don't even have this awareness?"

At this time, Liang Feng looked at the talking official coldly, perhaps because he felt that he had been offended, and the official was planning to show off his airs. As a result, Xie Tao said with anger: "Enough, I am the director!"

Xie Tao spoke, and naturally no one dared to speak. Xie Tao took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one for himself, and then lit one for Liang Feng. But after Liang Feng and Xie Tao took a sip, they just put the cigarette in their hands and looked at each other.

The smoke began to sway, and the conference room was silent like a dead end, until the cigarette burned out. Xie Tao threw down the cigarette butt and said, "I promised that Huang Yifei can retire from an athlete, but I can't change other rules. Lao Liang, you should be clear about it."

Hearing this sentence, Liang Feng smiled at the corner of his mouth: "No problem."

Xie Tao ignored Liang Feng, but looked at Huang Yifei and said, "Remember, you must get me a professional belt!"

"Director Xie, I will definitely remember!" Huang Yifei replied firmly. He did not expect Xie Tao to make a decision in just one cigarette, but Huang Yifei was still very grateful for Xie Tao's willingness to let him go.

Hearing Huang Yifei's answer, Xie Tao nodded, then walked to Huang Yifei and patted him on the shoulder, and left the conference room. Other officials also followed Xie Tao, and there were only Liang Feng and Huang Yifei left in the entire conference room.

"Coach, did Director Xie agree?"

"Otherwise, can he do anything? Will you force yourself to play the Olympics? I know that Lao Xie is not the kind of person who only looks at his position. If you ask you to play the Olympics, he is also purely from the perspective of national honor."

"But now you can also win glory for the country in the professional boxing world. This is also the hope of our generation of boxers. Lao Xie's blood is still hot, so he naturally wants to see this scene. However, you can enter the professional boxing world, but there are some things that need to be discussed, let's go."

Liang Feng said that what he wanted to talk about was spiritual conditions that had nothing to do with glory, but a naked exchange of interests. He retired from the National Health and Social Management Center, but it was not so simple and completely separated. He still had to be under the jurisdiction of the Health and Social Management Center in some aspects. For example, he had to accept some publicity and endorsements, and was subject to review, and the income was divided, etc.

Huang Yifei doesn't care about these things. Many people just see the loss, but don't see the gain. With a good image within the system and the publicity of state machines, Huang Yifei's commercial endorsement fee will soon rise to an astronomical number. For example, athletes like Zou Shimin and Liu Xiang (homophony).
