In 1983, China submitted an application to the Asian Olympic Council to host the 1990 Asian Games.

The following year, the Olympic Council of Asia Congress in Seoul competed with Hiroshima, Japan, and Beijing, China won the right to host it with 43 to 22 votes.

In recent years, most of the mainstream media reports on China in Europe and the United States are negative. China needs to play the role of sports as the main platform for people-to-people diplomacy, and use the Asian Games as an opportunity to open up the situation and improve the surrounding environment.

Therefore, the Asian Games held in Beijing, China in 1990 became crucial.

In April 1985, the Beijing Asian Organizing Committee was established.

The following year, the Asian Games project, including the National Olympic Sports Center and the Athlete's Village, broke ground on hundreds of hectares of crops at the northern end of Beijing's central axis.

At the same time, a number of supporting projects have also been launched.

Although it is the tenth year of reform and opening up, China's economic foundation is still very weak for hosting the Asian Games. At this stage, the central government allocates more than 200 million yuan to sports every year. The price level is equivalent to buying a popsicle for every person in the country.

In order to host the Asian Games, the central government has allocated nearly 2.9 billion yuan and local finance has raised nearly 2.9 billion yuan. At present, there is still a shortfall of more than 2 billion yuan.

Speaking of which, I also blame Xu Cun for this matter - just after the Beijing Asian Games Organizing Committee was established, Xu Cun donated one billion Hong Kong dollars to the Asian Games, which made the Beijing Asian Organizing Committee overestimate their ability to raise money.

In addition, with Xu Cun's help, China's reform and opening up in this life is obviously much more successful than in the previous life, and it also makes China much richer than in the previous life.

Therefore, when the Beijing Asian Games Organizing Committee formulated the Olympic Sports Center, Asian Games Village and supporting facilities for this Asian Games, the project that could have been built with less than 3 billion yuan was abruptly increased to at least 5 billion yuan. project to be built.

actually--

China is now a bit of a family.

But China needs to use this wealth to make money from world trade, and it is impossible to smash them into a sports event.

Moreover, the Ministry of Finance has successively allocated RMB 1.3 billion to the AOC.

Therefore, for the remaining funding gap of more than 2 billion yuan, calling for private fundraising has become the only way.

To this end, the Asian Organizing Committee has set up a 'fund-raising department' - donations, sales of broadcasting rights, advertising, selling houses in the Asian Games Village, issuing sports lottery tickets, etc. A number of media, including those, also launched the activity of "Finding the No. 1 Donor of the Beijing Asian Games", and the whole country was immersed in the passionate atmosphere of hosting the Asian Games.

Faced with the difficulties encountered in the preparations for the Beijing Asian Games, the whole country has launched a top-down donation boom.

"The people of the whole country are the hosts!"

"Everyone cares about the Asian Games, and everyone contributes to the Asian Games"

"The Asian Games strive for honor for the country, and I add brilliance to the Asian Games!"

From central leaders to the masses of all walks of life, from retirees to children in kindergartens, Chinese including Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan compatriots and overseas Chinese donated money and materials for the Asian Games, charity performances, charity sales, and free clinics.

Huo Yingdong, a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong, even donated 100 million RMB to build the "Yingdong Swimming Pool" named after him.

Later, according to statistics, the Fund Raising Department of the Beijing Asian Organizing Committee received nearly 200 million donations, of which the total amount of donations reached 600 million yuan.

But even so, there is still a gap of nearly 2 billion yuan, and it is still a gap that is difficult to raise.

In addition, there is no turning back for the bow - the Asian Games project, which has been planned and has been under construction for nearly two years, simply cannot be stopped.

Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, the Asian Organizing Committee has to find a way to close the gap that is difficult to raise of 2 billion!

I don't know since when, the Chinese officialdom began to popularize a phrase - there is difficulty in finding Xu Cun.

As a result, the desperate Asian Organizing Committee spent a lot of effort and contacted Xu Cun who was on vacation on Musha Island, hoping that Xu Cun could plug the gap that was difficult to raise for the two billion yuan.

Everyone in the Asian Organizing Committee also knew that it would be shameless to ask Xu Cun for money again - after all, Xu Cun had donated one billion Hong Kong dollars two years ago.

After some discussion and research, the Asian Games Committee obtained four pieces of land with the best locations for Xu Cun Asian Games Village. I feel that the difference is still too much. Before discussing with Xu Cun, the Asian Organizing Committee discussed with the Beijing Municipal Government, and obtained two excellent plots of land for Xu Cun in Chaoyang District. According to the current land price in Beijing, These six pieces of land are probably worth 400 million RMB, which is more to say.

After getting through Xu Cun's phone, Wu Shaozu, the director of the Sports Committee, who was in danger, carefully explained the actual difficulties of the Asian Games Organizing Committee, and hoped that Xu Cun would buy four plots of land in the Asian Games Village and two plots in Chaoyang District to help the Asian Organizing Committee solve some of the current funds. The gap, and euphemistically expressed the hope that Xu Cun can donate some more money for the Asian Games.

Xu Cun pondered for a while on the other end of the phone and said, "Well, Director Wu, I will buy these six pieces of land for one billion yuan, but I have one condition."

Wu Shaozu was overjoyed when he heard Xu Cun say he was willing to spend one billion yuan to buy these six pieces of land worth only 400 million! Immediately said: "You said, Mr. Xu, as long as our Asian Organizing Committee can do it, we will definitely agree!"

Xu Cun said bluntly: "I hope that when signing the agreement, the actual prices of these six plots of land can be marked. If your sub-organization committee is not too embarrassed, I also hope that the authoritative price department can issue a relevant certification. price procedure.”

As soon as he heard Xu Cun's request, Wu Shaozu immediately said: "Mr. Xu, please rest assured, these two things are covered by my old Wu!"

Xu Cun said: "Then I'll ask you, Director Wu~lightnovelpub.net~ um... I will donate another 2 billion Hong Kong dollars. After all, the Asian Games are the Asian Games for every Chinese. As a Chinese, I should make a little progress. Thin power."

Hearing that Xu Cun donated another 600 million to 700 million RMB, Wu Shaozu was moved to tears! Immediately, Wu Shaozu choked a little and said: "Mr. Xu, you have done all this for the motherland, and the people will never forget it!"

Xu Cun said hypocritically, "I don't want this."

Without waiting for Wu Shaozu to speak, Xu Cun said again: "I think you may still have shortcomings. In this way, I will let my company's artists go on a national voluntary tour to help you plug the missing money and promote us by the way. the Asian Games."

"Mr. Xu..."

Wu Shaozu was so moved that he couldn't even utter a word!

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Wu Shaozu asked, "Mr. Xu, on behalf of all the members of the Asian Committee, I ask you to come to the Asian Games Village and see our athletes!"
