Chapter 843 - The disgraceful opening ceremony

Chapter 843 – The disgraceful opening ceremony

“Team leader Ma, welcome. Let me know if you need anything in Atlanta.” Feng Yu shook the leader of the Chinese Olympic Games team.

“Manager Feng, just call me Old Ma. You have taken good care of us, and we don’t have any other requests. It is not good if our athletes are too comfortable.” Ma Tao shook Feng Yu’s hand warmly.

Before they arrive in the US, Ma Tao’s higher-ups had instructed him to look for Feng Yu if they encounter any problems and are told not to offend Manager Feng under all circumstances!

“Let me know which event has the highest chance to win medals. I will organize a group of Chinese students and workers to support them!”

Chinese overseas students as supporters are suggested by Jianlibao, and the Chinese workers are from Feng Yu’s companies. Tickets to these events are given to his staff as benefits.

Of course, all the supporters must wear the sponsored short sleeves shirt and cap. Logos of Wind and Rain, Lehaha, Songjiang, Jianlibao, etc. brands were printed on them. There is also the word ‘China’ written in large fonts.

This will let the Chinese athletes spot their supporters easily and promote these brands at the same time. The supporters were also excited to see their athletes win Olympic medals in front of them. They might not get this opportunity for the rest of their lives. Beijing had tried to bid for the 2000 Olympic Games but failed. Who knows when China will get to host the Olympic Games again?

“Thank you so much. I think our athletes will perform better when they know their fellow countrymen are supporting them from the sidelines. This year’s Olympic Games will be memorable as it is also the Centennial Olympic Games. The opening ceremony must be spectacular.”

Feng Yu had a weird expression. He wished he could tell Ma Tao not to get his hopes too high for the opening ceremony. The opening ceremony is much worse than the 2012 London Games.

“Hahaha. Maybe… but I believe if China hosts the Olympic Games in the future, the opening ceremony will be more spectacular.”

“Manager Feng, I got to go and settle the lodging for our people. Thank you once again for receiving us.”

“Alright. I will give you my secretary and my number. Just call us if you need anything.”

A few days later, it was the opening ceremony for Atlanta Olympic Games.

Feng Yu did not attend as this year’s opening ceremony is a failure. He heard that it was Atlanta state that organized the opening ceremony, and the country did not help much. This was different from Beijing, Athens, Seoul, etc. where it was the country that organizes it.

In the future years, the Beijing Games’ opening ceremony received the most praise online, followed by Athens and Seoul. Not a lot of people talk about the 3 other countries between Athens and Seoul Olympic Games. Atlanta Games got the worst ratings.

When Feng Yu was watching the live telecast of the opening ceremony, he got furious. One of the US TV commentators said: “Look, a team of doping athletes is walking towards us!”

Feng Yu said to Ralph. “Give me his information and get him to apologize live on TV tomorrow!”

Feng Yu wanted to swear in front of that TV commentator!

The US is the top country with the most athletes using stimulants, followed by Japan. Although some Chinese athletes use stimulants, the figures cannot be compared to the US and Japan!

In Feng Yu’s previous life, Victor Conte claims that since 1988, Seoul Games, athletes have been using a new sports stimulant developed by Balco to get better results in athletics, swimming, Judo, weightlifting, etc.

Conte even said that the stimulant developed by his laboratory had been upgraded to the 3rd generation and could not be detected. Most of the athletes in the world use stimulants and if you don’t use it, you can never beat them.

In 2003 World Championships in Athletics, the 100m timing is 10.07 seconds and no one could win the world championships outside of 10 seconds for the past 20 years. At that time, the athletes got to undergo a blood test for stimulants. It was hard for stimulants at that time to be undetected with a blood test, and lots of athletes made up all sorts of excuses to withdraw from the games.

The athletes claimed they had food poisoning, cramps, etc. and did not participate. They rather skip this race than to be caught for doping and be banned for future competitions.

In many past Olympic Games and world championships, the US got the highest number of athletes getting disqualified, and the main reason is doping. Even US legend Lewis admitted he had taken stimulants!

This country dares to mock China? That commentator even dares to say this on live TV? This is discrimination!

“Boss, I am afraid that use legal ways to deal with him within a day.” Ralph said.

“Did I say you must go through legal procedures? I don’t need to teach you what to do, right?”

The Chinese team members who were watching the live telecast on TV were also furious. They immediately complain to the organizers. But the organizers were a joke. They don’t know how to contact that TV commentator because that is a private TV station! What was more ridiculous was this year’s Olympic Games were outsourced to private companies, including Coca-Cola.

As the Chinese staff was trying to contact the TV station, the ceremony was still ongoing. The performances at the ceremony were also a joke.

The ceremony is held in a large stadium, and the organizers get a few B-Boys to perform? Who the hell can see them dance from the stands? Everyone was watching the big screens and they might as well watch it on TV at home!

What was funnier were the balloons. What’s so special about balloons?!

In the end, it was the fire lighting ceremony, and the organizers got Boxing Champ Mohammad Ali to do the honor. He is a patient and lit the fire with trembling hands. He was also praised for being the best athlete in history. But how many people watch boxing or likes boxing? Or maybe he was chosen because he is an American?

Also, why are there 30 pick-ups in the performance venue? Is this a motor race event? To get advertising revenue, the organizers did everything they could!

There was nothing unusual in this year’s opening ceremony and even the live audiences were falling asleep. Everyone was disappointed.

After the ceremony ended, Feng Yu received a call from Ma Tao. “Manager Feng, am I disturbing you?”

“It’s fine. Are you telling me about that TV commentator during the opening ceremony?”

“Yes. How can they say that? I want to make a complaint against him, but the organizing committee is in a mess. The organizer doesn’t even know who is in charge!” Ma Tao said.

“Old Ma, don’t worry about this. Tomorrow, you all will see that TV commentator apologizing!” Feng Yu said.

“Manager Feng, I am only grumbling. I had contacted the embassy, and they will help us.” Ma Tao felt this matter should be too big for Feng Yu to settle.

Feng Yu also did not explain himself, and after hanging up, he called Ralph…
