Chapter 136 The Youngest Boss
Chapter 136 The youngest boss
"Second sister, look, there's really no chance now! I've told you that I'd have to come early today, but you'd have to go out until almost ten o'clock. Now, we're finally getting to queue up, but who knew that the 'day lily' was all cold again." A 15 or 16-year-old boy stood in the square outside Chaoyang Sports Fitness and Leisure Park and looked at the tightly closed ticket window. His eyes were filled with regret, and he couldn't help but complain to a girl beside him. There were also many people around him who refused to leave for a long time.
"How can I blame me? I don't know that there will be so many people here to buy tickets for competitions today! If I had known this, I would have run out with you last night." The girl was quite frustrated about not being able to buy tickets. After all, the result of the two of them having worked hard for several hours was nothing, and they were full of dissatisfaction. In the days since they returned to China, although Song Yali has been following the news about Li Tian through newspapers every day, and knows that his competition was hyped by the media, but she didn't like sports very much before, and she has never had the experience of watching the competition on site, and has never bought tickets for the competition in person, so she is probably not enough to estimate the ticket sales today.
"By the way, second sister! Didn't you say that Li Tian is good friends with you? Can you ask him to help get a few tickets? It would be even more wonderful if you can get VIP tickets. Moreover, he is the protagonist of the Chinese team in this World Youth Championship. With his current ability, it should be just a little bit! Besides, we are also going to cheer him up." The boy's eyes lit up suddenly. On the day when his second sister returned home, he heard his cousin say that his second sister took a flight back to China with Li Tian, and the two of them were good friends. The reason why the second sister asked her grandfather to send a car to the airport to pick her up on the day she returned to China was because she wanted to help Li Tian get rid of the media. Since everyone has such a deep relationship, is it necessary to go far?
"I am not as shameless as you. I told Li Tian in person that he would go to the competition site to cheer him on, but now he even has to ask him to help solve the ticket. What's going on! I can't do such a shameful thing. Besides, I have called him several times since yesterday, but every call prompts the other party to turn off the phone, so I can't contact him at all. This proves that he must be focusing on preparing for the competition now. How can we disturb his training because of such a small thing?" Song Yali expressed firm opposition to the proposal of her younger brother Song Jianjun.
"What should I do? Not being able to watch this competition is not a small thing for me!" Since Li Tian appeared in the public eye like a comet last year, Song Jianjun has always regarded him as a goal of his pursuit. His performance at such a young age has caused a sensation across the country again and again, making Song Jianjun admire this idol who is only one year older than him. For the World Youth Championship, Li Tian's first international event, Song Jianjun certainly does not allow himself to miss this important opportunity to witness.
"Miss, do you want a vote?" Just as the siblings were in trouble, a man in his early thirties suddenly swept in front of them like a ghost, and asked carefully, his eyes rolling straight and scanning the surroundings with vigilance.
"Do you have a vote?" Song Jianjun immediately asked in surprise when he heard the man's words.
"Of course, I still have two A-level tickets here! Do you want them?" The man reached out and took out half of the ticket from his pocket of clothes to show them to the Song siblings for a few seconds, and then quickly stuffed the ticket back into his pocket.
"Yes, of course we want it!" Song Jianjun was eager to ask for votes, and he couldn't wait to snatch the tickets from the man.
"How much does this ticket cost?" Although she wanted to get the ticket, Song Yali was older after all, and she knew better that there was no free lunch in the world. Although she lacked attention to sports before, she still knew the name of the "scalper party", and the person in front of her was sure to be one of the "excellent party members".
"Look, you are a sensible person, and I won't bargain with you. Give me this number, you will take these two sets of tickets immediately! It's not a second price." The man stretched out three fingers to the two, with a look of reluctantly giving up on his face. It is not easy to become an excellent "scalper party member". The first thing he needs is to have a keen eye, be able to see the possible hot spots of the event before ordinary people, and make a correct assessment of the trend of the event. It can be said that these "scalpers" present are all sports competitions.
They can be considered experts. In addition, they have a very accurate view of people. From what clothes they wear, they can judge the other party's general identity and financial ability, and then sell tickets suitable for the price. Song Yali is dressed in international brand fashion, and her elegant temperament shows, which makes this guy decide that she is an extraordinary master at a glance, and it has also become his target for selling high-end tickets. After all, Class A tickets are not something that ordinary families who live on their wages can afford.
"What? It costs 30,000! How could it be so expensive?" Song Jianjun also realized at this time that he had encountered a ticket seller. The ticket ticket for the A level is 1,000 yuan, but the ticket price for all ten games is 9,000 yuan, and two copies are 18,000 yuan. The ticket seller in front of him asked his sister for 30,000 yuan. The ticket sales were only half an hour after the end, but the ticket price was raised by two-thirds by them.
"Price? Brother, you're wrong. Whether the price is expensive or not depends on what to compare. Now the tickets for the Chinese Super League are cheap, and you can watch one for only twenty yuan, but who can watch this game? If compared with this, the price is indeed too expensive. The Forbidden City concert held in the past two years is 20,000 yuan, but a large group of people are rushing to listen to it. After listening, they keep saying "value". If compared with this, the price I want is simply a small matter. Even if some second-rate singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan come to our mainland to hold a concert, the better tickets will be worth 800 yuan, which is only higher than the ones in this game, but there are still people who are still rushing to listen. Besides, we are here.
Who did I go to see in the next game? Who is Li Tian? Who is Li Tian? He is the one who gives us Chinese people a face and a leader in Chinese sports in the future! Is his value not as valuable as those little stars who are not as good as those inexpensive little stars? Spending money to cheer him up is the momentum of the Chinese, and I feel happy. If we didn’t have much money, I would have wanted to keep this ticket with my wife to watch it!" I have to admit that the ticket seller is very good at speaking, and it makes Song Jianjun unable to speak at all. Because he spent seven or eight hundred yuan to listen to some Hong Kong and Taiwan singer concerts, he has done several times himself, but at that time he never complained that the ticket price was too expensive, but why did he become stingy with the important competitions he participated in by his idol? After all, this is caused by people’s long-term neglect of track and field competitions.
"Okay, we'll ask for these two packages! But I only brought 20,000 yuan in cash. You can go to the bank with us to get it!" Although the price was much higher than the original price, Song Yali decided to buy it. Half an hour later, in front of a bank, Song Yali and the ticket seller handed in one hand, and Song Jianjun, who had the ticket in hand, was also very excited.
After Li Tian's training in the swimming pool was over, he accompanied him back to the training base by two leaders. The Athletic Association helped solve the problem of harassment training by media reporters. It was a pleasant thing for him.
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Chen Qiannan, who was waiting for him, was caught by him, frequently asking about his whereabouts in the morning and the "insider" news that he suddenly heard about.
"You haven't seen the scene at the training ground this morning. I have never seen so many reporters in my life. Those cameras and cameras surrounded the field, and looked at us like 'murders'. Many team members were shocked by the scene, their movements were deformed, and many mistakes were made..." Chen Qinan seized the time to "report" to Li Tian in the morning.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't expect it to cause you so much trouble. Fortunately, this situation will not happen again." Li Tian said apologetically when he heard that his teammates' normal training was almost interrupted by him this morning.
"It's nothing, everyone can understand your difficulties. This situation is not what you hope for. However, after this incident this morning, everyone envies and admires you. Moreover, the training yesterday afternoon made everyone see their own gaps clearly. Everyone is very convinced by you. You are now recognized as the boss in our national youth team!"
"Boss? I remember that I was the youngest in the team!"
"What's the point of being young? We only value personal strength. If anyone has the strength to convince us, we will agree with him as the boss. And you are younger and look more mature than me!" Li Tian's calmness is indeed inconsistent with his age of sixteen, which makes him look more mature in the eyes of outsiders.
"Okay, let's go to the restaurant quickly, the meal is about to start." After Chen Qinan reminded Li Tiancai to notice the time, and he remembered that Master Wang from the restaurant yesterday told him that at noon today, he would make a nutritious meal that is both delicious and meets his nutritional requirements, which also made him look forward to this lunch. Although he is not picky about the taste of ordinary nutritious meals, who would object to making it taste better?
"Boss Li Tian is here!" When Li Tian and Chen Qinan both walked into the restaurant, someone shouted, and all the team members who were eating in the restaurant stopped their chopsticks.
"Boss, sit here, we have specially left a place for you...!" Faced with the invitations from many teammates, Li Tian felt a little caught off guard. His teammates who were unfamiliar yesterday greeted him so enthusiastically today, which made Li Tian feel a little proud. There are not many complicated relationships between young people, especially young players. As long as you can convince them sincerely, they will naturally recognize you and accept you. Obviously, Li Tian has done this, and it only took a short day.
