Chapter 228: Fire

The day after Zhang Lin and others were interviewed, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for "Sports Times" which has just emerged in the Chinese sports world. It was an important moment when "Sports Times" can gain a place in the increasingly fierce competition for sports media. Ke Fan, a senior reporter from the newspaper, dug a "heavy pound bomb" from several main players of the Chinese swimming team. I believe that with this exclusive news, the popularity of "Sports Times" in China will be unprecedentedly improved.

"Have the situation of major printing points been counted? Can the task be completed on time?" At three o'clock in the morning, the headquarter of the "Sports Times" newspaper was still brightly lit, and all employees did not stop their work except for eating. General Manager Huang Hongqiang also sat in the office and always paid attention to the progress of their work tasks.

"The situation of sub-printing points in Chengdu, Changsha, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing has been counted. More than 80% have been completed. The workers are speeding up their time to work. I believe that the task can be completed before five o'clock, and the number of other sub-printing points is much smaller than that in these places, and basically the printing tasks have been completed." The assistant reported the statistical report just received. For the limited publishing ability of "Sports Times", the increase in newspapers this time is undoubtedly a huge challenge. Except for the industry's "big brother" "Sports Weekly", no other sports media newspaper and magazine dares to try this number. This time, "Sports Times" is determined to take this opportunity to become popular.

At five o'clock in the morning, many "Sports News" sales personnel distributed throughout the country took collective action and sent the latest packaged newspaper to thousands of sales points in major cities to ensure that readers can see the newspaper as soon as possible. The staff at each printing point did not relax and were ready to deal with the work of zero-hour supplementary issues at any time.

In the middle of July, it is very early, and there are more people going out for morning exercises than in winter. Just after six o'clock, many book and magazine booths have already opened. These morning exercisers are their first customers, sorting out various newspapers and magazines, waiting for customers to come.

"Sports Times" is not a very famous sports newspaper. The sales volume of less than 1 million nationwide is far from the results of "Sports Weekly" and "Football" and other famous newspapers of five or six million, so they naturally won't be favored by these newsstand owners. However, today's situation is very different from the past. "Sports Times", which was neglected in the past, was moved from the corner of the newsstand to the most eye-catching position. Facing the sales staff coming to deliver goods, the newsstand owners made thousands of requests to keep newspapers as much as possible. The reason is very simple - the business is easy to do. Seeing the huge photo of Li Tian struggling to move forward in the swimming pool on the front page of "Sports Times", these bosses immediately realized that the business opportunity was coming. After experiencing the previous newspaper buying boom, they can expect the sales to be booming.

"Boss, come and have sex with the sports world!" A young man who had just returned from morning exercise walked to a newsstand on the roadside, threw down one and five cents and said to the newsstand owner.

"Okay, you can get it!" The boss didn't think about it, and skillfully accepted the money, took out a newspaper and handed it out.

"Wrong, wrong, boss, what I want is the Sports Weekly, not the Sports Weekly... Huh!" Readers like to call "Sports Weekly" abbreviated as "Sports Weekly", and "Sports News" is called "Sports News". When the young man glanced at the first glance, he found that what the boss handed him was not the Sports Weekly that he wanted to buy. However, when he looked at it again, he was immediately attracted by the photo on the front page of "Sports News".

"The miracle of Tiantan shows his talent in the water again - Li Tian's swimming talent amazing!" Next to the photo is a series of big titles, and the content report below the title has given this young sports enthusiast a huge temptation, making him never let go.

"This newspaper reporter interviewed Li Tian's three friends... His outstanding swimming talent made Zhang Lin, Wu Peng and Ouyang Kunpeng admire the three leaders of the Chinese national swimming team - Li Tian, ​​China has only produced a swimming genius in 50 years, and its future is unlimited..."

"Boss, give me another copy of the Sports Weekly!" Many sports fans who are following Li Tian know that the Sports Weekly is the "authoritative" media that reports Li Tian. But what surprised the young man was that there was no report on Li Tian's swimming in the new issue of the Sports Weekly. When I opened some other sports newspapers, there was no content in this regard.

"Boss, I want this!" The young man picked up "Sports News" without hesitation and rushed home. The content in the newspaper was so attractive.

The sales of newspapers that day were the same as expected by "Sports Times". Due to the reports of Li Tian's exclusive news, "Sports Times Times" was immediately frantically bought by many sports enthusiasts as soon as it was put on the market. From 6:00 to 9:00 in the morning, the sales volume across the country continued to rise. By around 10:00, some areas had already begun to be out of stock. The senior executives of the newspaper made a quick decision and all the machines for printing points were opened. They tried their best to temporarily print 1.5 million copies, but they still could not meet the needs of all readers.

Compared with the popularity of Sports Times, the situation of mainstream media, "Sports Weekly" and "Football", is not so wonderful. The emergence of "Sports Times" has seized millions of markets. The sales volume of their newspapers has shrunk by about half, causing the bosses of several newspapers to jump straight. The decline in sales volume of newspapers is not what these mainstream media are most worried about, but because they were unaware of such a large news before, which is likely to make readers doubt the "authoritativeness" of their newspapers, which is the most dangerous.

Of course, the people don’t care whose newspapers are easy to sell. They only care about the content of the report. In the past year, whenever Li Tian’s name appears in newspapers and magazines, it can always attract everyone’s attention. The first Chinese to run into the 10-second mark in the 10-meter field, the first Chinese to become an Asian 100-meter sport, and the first Chinese to create the great miracle of the "four-champion" of the World Youth Championship. All of this makes countless Chinese feel proud. Now the exciting news is here again, making the world a person

Unexpectedly, Li Tian, ​​who was incredibly glorious in the track and field competition, showed his magical side in the swimming pool. According to newspaper reports, he has never conducted professional swimming training, but now he has strong strength no less than that of domestic outstanding swimmers. The gains of these strengths are only the result of special guidance from a few days of swimming friends. This makes many people start to fantasize that if Li Tian can enter the national team and receive the best coach for professional guidance, then what will his future achievements be like.

In just one day, Li Tian's swimming incident caused an uproar in the Chinese sports industry. Since Li Tian himself was not in China, Li Tian's agent Xu Hongtao became the focus of many media attention. However, the media reporters flocked to the opposite side were caught off guard. He had just participated in the final business negotiations with the senior management of Haier Group, and the two sides finally reached an agreement. Li Tian will become the image spokesperson of the most well-known brand in the country in the next two years. He was so happy that he was intercepted by the powerful journalists before he returned to his residence. He knew nothing about this and was speechless by the media. He never expected that Li Tian had such a skill in swimming.

No gains were obtained from Xu Hongtao, so the reporters collectively targeted three insiders including Zhang Lin of the Chinese National Swimming Team, and hoped to know the swimming team's view on the matter. After negotiating with the leaders of the national swimming team, the leaders of the swimming team readily agreed to the reporter's interview request and gave great "cooperation".

Zhang Lin and others had long expected such an interview, and what they had to do now was to fan the flames of these media, and always praised Li Tian when answering reporters' questions. Sometimes the opinions of an excellent player are more convincing than those of senior department leaders, let alone the three best Chinese players unanimously praised.

"Li Tian - China's swimming genius who is rare in a century!" This belief has been deeply rooted in the brains of these reporters without realizing it. At this time, the leaders of the swimming team and the senior management of the China Swimming Project Management Center also came forward to find out their views on this matter at the right time, which has even contributed to the fire.

"Chairman Kong, what do you think about the recruitment of Li Tian in the Chinese swimming team?" At the Swimming Project Management Center, Vice Chairman Kong Siming also happily invited many reporters to the conference hall to deal with the media. This is the expertise of these senior figures, and they also have to use the power of the media to achieve their goals.

"I have heard of Li Tian's incident and have also been confirmed by Cologne. Li Tian did surpass the 10th National Games championship in the swimming competition at the Cologne Sports Academy, which shows that he has the level of a first-class Chinese player. However, it is too early to talk about Li Tian joining the national team, which involves a series of problems." Kong Siming answered the reporter's questions with a smile. Seeing the reaction of the reporters on the scene, the fire was burning even more violent than they expected, but it was exactly what they were happy to see, but they could not act too anxious.

"Then that means the possibility of recruiting Li Tian is not ruled out!" The reporters were a little dissatisfied with Kong Siming's "cold reaction" because if Li Tian could join the national swimming team, it would definitely be a big news.

"That's of course, the national swimming team will always open the door to capable players, but due to the special circumstances of Li Tian, ​​joining the swimming team is not as easy as imagined. But personally, I really hope and agree that Li Tian can join our swimming team family. I have watched his videos when he competes. I can't exaggerately say that he is the most talented player with swimming talent I have seen in my life. If he can't join the swimming team, it's not just a loss to the national swimming team.
