Chapter 280 Unreliable England

If the racecourse is not modified according to the customer's requirements, it means that there will be no income, and the racecourse will be difficult to maintain.

In this case, the old Hawks actually has nothing to hesitate.

After thinking for a while, he said, "For $80,000, I promise to renovate the racecourse according to what this gentleman said."

But these words not only did not make Lanster happy, but looked at Old Hawks with embarrassment and dissatisfaction.

$80,000 equals £20,000.

If the difference is only one or two thousand, or even several thousand, it will be fine.

But the difference was a full 10,000 pounds. People who don't know why may wonder if Lanster wants to make a fortune.

"Don't be nervous," Li Changheng smiled and patted Lanster on the shoulder, "Mr. Hobbs probably meant that the employees of the racecourse can help.

And there must be a lot of unused materials in the racecourse, sand and sawdust, isn't there, Mr. Hawkes? "

Old Hawkes understood instantly.

Nodding hurriedly, he said to Lanster apologetically, "There are a lot of wood in the racecourse that were dismantled in the past for future use.

It's not new wood, but it's certainly good enough.

As for labor, my employees are definitely willing to make some extra money. "

"Okay, let's do as you say."

Li Changheng didn't want to waste too much time on this matter.

"Mr Hawkes, you still need to send someone to sort out the accommodation in these two days.

Moreover, it has to be a room for one person.

Rather than the same as your previous employees, two or four people. "

"No problem, sir, I will find a cleaning company tomorrow, just,,".

Li Changheng smiled and nodded to Daofeng, "Give one hundred thousand to Mr. Hawkes."

Soon a handbag containing 100,000 US dollars was placed in front of Old Hawkes.

"Come on, honey, let's go see the canoe and archery training grounds."

Pelham Bay Park covers an area of ​​2,700 acres, not only has a long beach, but also several rivers at least ten meters wide.

There is even a country resort hotel built on a 300-acre island in the middle of the lake.

The country hotel of the Americans means that the area is absolutely large enough.

There are places where an outdoor archery range can be converted, and then a wooden indoor archery range can be built for only $40,000.

Moreover, the training grounds for canoeing and archery are ideally located on a quiet and closed island.

Except for going out on weekends, you have to stay on the island all the time, and it is impossible to train without worrying about it.

In order to achieve better results and let Annie gain greater prestige, Li Changheng's biggest motivation is monetary rewards.

Basically, all countries will give certain monetary rewards to Olympic athletes who win medals.

What is surprising is that England, as a developed country, does not say anything about it.

In many trainings, no training funds are provided at all.

In England before the 21st century, athletes wanted to achieve results, on the one hand relying on their own family background, or the wealth status of their parents.

On the other hand, it all depends on community, corporate and private sponsorship.

Therefore, England is very strong in cycling, kayaking and sailing.

Totally because Cambridge and Oxford have great canoeing events every year.

Sailing is a hobby of rich people, and there are many clubs, so there is a foundation for good results.

And the bicycle is because of the competition with France, and there are many bicycle races in Europe.

There are many opportunities to compete, and the prize money is also very good.

Coupled with a high audience, bicycle manufacturers themselves will sponsor the players on their own bikes.

But other Olympic sports have not been so lucky.

Even many advantageous projects will also face the problem of lack of training funds.

Otherwise, after learning that Annie is willing to sponsor archery, horse riding and canoeing.

Not even bicycles, rowing, kayaking, sailing and windsurfing, these strong and gold-winning events in England, are all looking for Anne to sponsor.

The person in charge of archery, equestrianism and canoeing was willing to come to the United States for training without even thinking about it after hearing Annie provide the venue, accommodation, and even the necessary equipment.

In fact, engaging in sports these days is a money-losing project.

Although television sets are popular, the lack of programs means that the advertising effect is not strong.

In addition, champions are also divided into sports, and many sports events that the public rarely participates in, no one asks them to speak for them at all.

To truly reflect the value of the Olympic champion, it has to wait until Adidas, Nike and other sports brands compete for the market before they start to give the champion a large amount of advertising revenue.

Knike was established in 1972, and Adidas' clover logo came out in 1972.

And they are still doing football at this time, and the sales of sneakers are in a mess.

Since the strong sports are short of money, no one pays any attention to the canoe and archery, which were really confirmed to appear in the 1972 Olympic Games in September last year.

And equestrianism is a very expensive project no matter which country it is in.

However, England, as the country that retains the most complete aristocratic system, and indeed allows the aristocrats to have certain rights and brokerage foundations, has only won one equestrian championship.

Even after World War II, the highest number of gold medals was 6 in 56 years.

After that, there were 2 in 60 years, 4 in 64, 5 in 68, 3 in 72, and then 5 for 20 years, and suddenly dropped to 1 in 1996.

Probably because I really felt ashamed, so I vigorously sponsored various sports events.

But the strange thing is that they still don't give the champion money.

Therefore, Li Changheng is willing to sponsor Olympic events, and England, whether it is the Olympic management organization or the official, is in fact strongly in favor of it.

Even if he can participate after the selection, he will get 10,000 pounds.

After taking the bronze medal, you can get another 10,000 pounds, 30,000 pounds for the silver medal, and 50,000 pounds for the gold medal.

I heard that several players who are not the strongest in rowing and kayaking directly apply for canoeing.

Then it was rumored that the Air Rifle Shooting Association planned to bring athletes directly to New York to join Annie.

To put it bluntly, these people are of course for the championship, but more importantly, once obtained, the official qualification will be 10,000 pounds, and the prize for winning a medal is another 10,000 pounds.

After all, 10,000 pounds in 70 years is equivalent to the average annual salary of 7.5 individuals in London.

After deciding on the venue and accommodation for the three project teams, Li Changheng took Annie home.

Two days later, at 5 o'clock in the afternoon on April 2, 1970.

With some excitement, Anne got on a Bell 204 helicopter, and under the escort of another helicopter, she personally drove the helicopter into the sky.

Fly straight to Lakeside Resort at Pelham Bay Park.

Annie, wearing headphones, looked at Li Changheng's profile in sunglasses, flying helmet, and holding a joystick.

Immediately, I felt that my sweetheart was so handsome.

In the aviation field of the United States, as long as the flying altitude is less than 100 meters.

It is absolutely possible to notify the aviation management department after take-off, and you can fly however you want.

The helicopter flew on the Long Island Sound, along the coast of Long Island and Queens, and arrived in the Bronx for a few minutes.

The escort helicopter landed at the Huxin Hotel first and turned off.

Stonebanks, Blade and the four members of the death squad came down to guard, and Li Changheng drove the helicopter down.
