Hong Kong Entertainment: I pick up attributes on the set

Hearing this, Tom Bradley smiled and said:"Mr. Shen, your business ability is world-renowned, and you are an investment genius in the hearts of countless people.

I am really happy to see Mr. Shen today."

Without saying anything, Come up first and give me some flattery.

Shen Hao knew that this guy wanted a lot.

So he waved his hands and said:"Mayor Tom, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. If there is anything I can do to help, I will definitely help.""

"Haha, Mr. Shen is indeed a happy person, which makes me a little embarrassed. It must be difficult for us, but for Mr. Shen, this matter should be very simple."

As a politician, Tom Bradley's face It's still very thick.

Maybe it's because of his dark face, but there's no trace of embarrassment at all.

Tom Bradley's procrastination made Shen Hao a little impatient. He had no interest in accompanying this nigger here. It's a waste of time.

If it's a beautiful woman, then it's okay to say, what's there to talk about with a nigger?

So, he restrained his smile and said:"Mayor Tom, if you need anything, just ask, I will help you if you can. If this continues, That's a waste of time.

Your time and mine are both very precious."

Seeing Shen Hao, he was a little unhappy. Tom Bradley stopped ink and directly stated his request this time.

"Mr. Shen, that’s it. Do you know about this year’s Olympic Games?"

Olympic Games?

Of course you know nonsense.

So he nodded and said:"Of course I know, what's wrong, Mayor Tom, you don't want me to participate in the Olympics, do you?" Shen Hao teased;

Tom Bradley hurriedly shook his head and said:"Then what? Maybe, this time the Olympics will be hosted by Los Angeles.

So the question comes"

"what is the problem?"

"Due to the increasing cost of the recent Olympic Games and the interference of political factors, the number of cities bidding to host the Olympic Games has been discouraged, and fewer and fewer cities have applied for it.

There were originally two bid cities for this Olympic Games. In addition to our Los Angeles, there was also Tehran in Iran. However, due to the above reasons, Tehran withdrew midway.

Therefore, at the 1978 International Olympic Committee Annual Meeting in Athens, Los Angeles won the right to host the Olympic Games without any rivals.

This is something we didn't expect.

Shen Hao smiled and said:"Isn't that good? I remember that Los Angeles hosted the 10th Olympic Games in 1932. 52 years later, the Olympic flame was lit here again."

In this way, Beijing will become the third city to host two Summer Olympics after Paris and London.

Mayor Tom, you should be happy."

Hearing this, Tom Bradley showed a wry smile.

In desperation, he explained his grievances

"Originally, the"Olympic Charter" stipulated that the host city of the Olympic Games and its organizing committee must provide a guarantee to the International Olympic Committee and"bear full financial responsibility for organizing the Olympic Games."

The Olympic Games were applied for in 1976, but California legislators changed the law.

However, in November 1978, the state of California, where Los Angeles is located, passed a law that prohibited the use of public funds to host the Olympic Games.

As a result, if our Los Angeles city government cannot provide financial assistance, we will not be able to host the Olympic Games at all.

The Los Angeles Olympic Games face two fates: either Los Angeles cancels the Olympic Games, or it is handed over to private companies to organize.

The arrow was on the string and had to be fired. There was no turning back.

If this Olympics cannot be held, Los Angeles will become the laughingstock of the world.

Therefore, the Los Angeles City Government negotiated with the International Olympic Committee, and the Olympic Committee was forced to make major concessions and recognized it as a special case, unprecedentedly handing over the Los Angeles Olympic Games to private companies in the form of industrial and commercial enterprises."

Shen Hao was stunned and suddenly became happy. You applied for the Olympics in 1976.

But the governor directly took your salary out of the pot and introduced a law. He didn't give you any money and asked you to do the Olympics.

"Wouldn't it be nice now that private hosting is allowed.

Having said that, hosting the Olympics can enhance the city's reputation and development, why would the state of California prevent you from hosting the Olympics, and even introduce legal interference?" Shen Hao asked in confusion;

Tom Bradley helplessly shrugged, a black picture His face seemed to get darker.

He sighed and said,"Mr. Shen, you should know that the cost of the Olympic Games is huge, especially in recent years. Not only that, hosting the Olympic Games is simply a loss-making business.

For example, in 1972, Munich spent US$1 billion; in 1976, Montreal spent more than US$2 billion; and in 1980, Moscow spent more than US$9 billion. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!) With such a huge number, how could the state of California allow us to host the sand shaker?

In order to host the Olympic Games, after the Athens Conference, the City of Shakeout Machinery started comprehensive planning work and first established a preparatory committee.

The first problem we, the city of Los Angeles, face is funding sources.

In 1979, we invited 45-year-old Peter Ueberroth, a financial professional, to serve as chairman of the organizing committee.

This unknown person in the sports world is a visionary and has shown outstanding talents in the preparatory and organizational work, especially in financial management.

The Los Angeles Olympics is the first non-governmental sports event since the founding of the Olympic Games in 1896. It has neither government subsidies nor increases the burden on taxpayers.

After Ueberroth became chairman, in order to save expenses.

Enter into funding agreements with corporate groups; sell television broadcast rights and game tickets (ABC bought the television rights for US$225 million); reduce expenditures, make full use of existing facilities, and try not to build sports facilities. Venues; no new Olympic Village will be built; two university dormitories in California will be rented for athletes and officials to stay; volunteers will be recruited to work voluntarily for the conference, etc.

According to the budget, the total budget of the shakeout machine for this Olympic Games is US$450 million.

All the funds had been raised.

But the American Broadcasting Corporation suddenly regretted its decision and divested itself.[]

In addition, US law prohibits the issuance of lottery tickets, so all funds must be raised by oneself.

Now that the Olympic Games is about to start, we don’t have enough funds, and we are also very worried now."

Shen Hao understood that he was asked to invest in the Olympic Games.

However, Shen Hao was confused about one thing, so he asked:"Why did the American Broadcasting Company do this? Sudden divestment."

Tom Bradley sighed:"Mainly because of political factors.

You also know that the two major camps in the world today, the Soviet Union and our country, the United States, are in the Cold War.

When our preparation and organization work for the shakeout machine was basically in place and two months before the conference was about to be held, 16 countries and regions including the Soviet Union and the Democratic Party announced their non-participation in the Olympic Games under various excuses.

Despite lobbying by Samaranch and other parties and talks with government leaders, they ultimately failed to change the decisions of the Soviet Union and other countries.

The Soviet Union refused to participate in this Olympics, citing security concerns."

Shen Hao sneered, you deserve it.

You don't even think about why others boycott you.

Shen Hao knows that the actual reason is nothing more than revenge for the United States' boycott of the Moscow Olympics in 1980.

In 1980, the United States and 62 other countries The Soviet Olympic Committee boycotted the Moscow Olympics in 1980 to protest the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan.

The Soviet Olympic Committee explained that the reason was because it anticipated that the United States would indulge in anti-Soviet rebellion in Los Angeles. The

Soviet Olympic Committee said:"Some people in the United States are inciting chauvinist sentiments and anti-Soviet hysteria."

It is expected that other countries in the socialist camp, including Cuba and Vietnam, will also participate in this boycott.

Needless to say, the Soviet Union, democratic countries , Bulgaria's absence has had an impact on certain events this year, such as track and field, swimming, weightlifting and other competitions.

The impact of complex international political struggles has made the Olympic movement face severe tests...
