Chapter 843 - The disgraceful opening ceremony

"Team leader Ma, welcome. Let me know ifyou need anything in Atlanta." Feng Yu shook the leader of the Chinese OlympicGames team.

"Manager Feng, just call me Old Ma. Youhave taken good care of us, and we don't have any other requests. It is notgood if our athletes are too comfortable." Ma Tao shook Feng Yu's hand warmly.

Before they arrive in the US, Ma Tao'shigher-ups had instructed him to look for Feng Yu if they encounter anyproblems and are told not to offend Manager Feng under all circ.u.mstances!

"Let me know which event has the highestchance to win medals. I will organize a group of Chinese students and workersto support them!"

Chinese overseas students as supporters aresuggested by Jianlibao, and the Chinese workers are from Feng Yu's companies.Tickets to these events are given to his staff as benefits.

Of course, all the supporters must wear thesponsored short sleeves shirt and cap. Logos of Wind and Rain, Lehaha,Songjiang, Jianlibao, etc. brands were printed on them. There is also the word'China' written in large fonts.

This will let the Chinese athletes spottheir supporters easily and promote these brands at the same time. Thesupporters were also excited to see their athletes win Olympic medals in frontof them. They might not get this opportunity for the rest of their lives.Beijing had tried to bid for the 2000 Olympic Games but failed. Who knows when Chinawill get to host the Olympic Games again?

"Thank you so much. I think our athleteswill perform better when they know their fellow countrymen are supporting themfrom the sidelines. This year's Olympic Games will be memorable as it is alsothe Centennial Olympic Games. The opening ceremony must be spectacular."

Feng Yu had a weird expression. He wishedhe could tell Ma Tao not to get his hopes too high for the opening ceremony.The opening ceremony is much worse than the 2012 London Games.

"Hahaha. Maybe… but I believe if China hoststhe Olympic Games in the future, the opening ceremony will be morespectacular."

"Manager Feng, I got to go and settle thelodging for our people. Thank you once again for receiving us."

"Alright. I will give you my secretary andmy number. Just call us if you need anything."

A few days later, it was the openingceremony for Atlanta Olympic Games.

Feng Yu did not attend as this year'sopening ceremony is a failure. He heard that it was Atlanta state thatorganized the opening ceremony, and the country did not help much. This wasdifferent from Beijing, Athens, Seoul, etc. where it was the country thatorganizes it.

In the future years, the Beijing Games'opening ceremony received the most praise online, followed by Athens and Seoul.Not a lot of people talk about the 3 other countries between Athens and SeoulOlympic Games. Atlanta Games got the worst ratings.

When Feng Yu was watching the live telecastof the opening ceremony, he got furious. One of the US TV commentators said:"Look, a team of doping athletes is walking towards us!"

Feng Yu said to Ralph. "Give me hisinformation and get him to apologize live on TV tomorrow!"

Feng Yu wanted to swear in front of that TVcommentator!

The US is the top country with the mostathletes using stimulants, followed by j.a.pan. Although some Chinese athletesuse stimulants, the figures cannot be compared to the US and j.a.pan!

In Feng Yu's previous life, Victor Conteclaims that since 1988, Seoul Games, athletes have been using a new sportsstimulant developed by Balco to get better results in athletics, swimming,Judo, weightlifting, etc.

Conte even said that the stimulantdeveloped by his laboratory had been upgraded to the 3^rd generationand could not be detected. Most of the athletes in the world use stimulants andif you don't use it, you can never beat them.

In 2003 World Championships in Athletics,the 100m timing is 10.07 seconds and no one could win the world championshipsoutside of 10 seconds for the past 20 years. At that time, the athletes got toundergo a blood test for stimulants. It was hard for stimulants at that time tobe undetected with a blood test, and lots of athletes made up all sorts ofexcuses to withdraw from the games.

The athletes claimed they had foodpoisoning, cramps, etc. and did not partic.i.p.ate. They rather skip this racethan to be caught for doping and be banned for future compet.i.tions.

In many past Olympic Games and worldchampionships, the US got the highest number of athletes getting disqualified,and the main reason is doping. Even US legend Lewis admitted he had takenstimulants!

This country dares to mock China? Thatcommentator even dares to say this on live TV? This is discrimination!

"Boss, I am afraid that use legal ways todeal with him within a day." Ralph said.

"Did I say you must go through legalprocedures? I don't need to teach you what to do, right?"

The Chinese team members who were watchingthe live telecast on TV were also furious. They immediately complain to theorganizers. But the organizers were a joke. They don't know how to contact thatTV commentator because that is a private TV station! What was more ridiculouswas this year's Olympic Games were outsourced to private companies, includingCoca-Cola.

As the Chinese staff was trying to contactthe TV station, the ceremony was still ongoing. The performances at theceremony were also a joke.

The ceremony is held in a large stadium,and the organizers get a few B-Boys to perform? Who the h.e.l.l can see them dancefrom the stands? Everyone was watching the big screens and they might as wellwatch it on TV at home!

What was funnier were the balloons. What'sso special about balloons?!

In the end, it was the fire lightingceremony, and the organizers got Boxing Champ Mohammad Ali to do the honor. Heis a patient and lit the fire with trembling hands. He was also praised forbeing the best athlete in history. But how many people watch boxing or likesboxing? Or maybe he was chosen because he is an American?

Also, why are there 30 pick-ups in theperformance venue? Is this a motor race event? To get advertising revenue, theorganizers did everything they could!

There was nothing unusual in this year'sopening ceremony and even the live audiences were falling asleep. Everyone wasdisappointed.

After the ceremony ended, Feng Yu receiveda call from Ma Tao. "Manager Feng, am I disturbing you?"

"It's fine. Are you telling me about thatTV commentator during the opening ceremony?"

"Yes. How can they say that? I want to makea complaint against him, but the organizing committee is in a mess. Theorganizer doesn't even know who is in charge!" Ma Tao said.

"Old Ma, don't worry about this. Tomorrow,you all will see that TV commentator apologizing!" Feng Yu said.

"Manager Feng, I am only grumbling. I hadcontacted the emba.s.sy, and they will help us." Ma Tao felt this matter shouldbe too big for Feng Yu to settle.

Feng Yu also did not explain himself, andafter hanging up, he called Ralph…
