The Olympic Athlete Committee

Fleggs said as he pulled out a document from his briefcase, opened it, and handed it to Zhang Guan, pointing to one of the company logos, said: "Look, this is the same, it seems that this is the same company."

"What is this?" Zhang Guan asked, pointing to the document.

"This is provided to me by Hong Kong." Fleggs continued: "According to the previously set plan, the capital enters Hong Kong from the United Kingdom, but if you want to enter the mainland from Hong Kong in your country, it needs some more complicated As far as I know, your country has strict controls on the exchange and circulation of foreign exchange, so Hong Kong has advised me that if the amount of funds is large, the best way is to conduct agency operations through mainland companies. It is said that some companies can provide legal channels for the inflow of foreign capital, and can save the time and economic costs of the mainland. This document is the list and company profile of mainland companies recommended by Hong Kong for such operations. "

Flaggers pointed to the company logo of Yiming Consulting and then said: "You see, this company is the same as the business card in your hands. They have the same company logo and even the company names are the same."

"But this business card shows that this is a consulting company! Can they engage in financial business?" Zhang Guan asked.

"The business scope of a consulting company is relatively broad, and even if the consulting company does not have financial business qualifications, they can also complete the client's requirements through a third party. I don't know the situation in your country, but in Europe, the big consulting company's political and commercial relations are comparable to some multinational groups, and even some multinational groups need consulting companies to conduct policy public relations or product research." Fleggs explained.

"It seems that this Yiming consulting company is quite simple." Zhang Guan gathered his business cards and followed Fleggs to the nearby restaurant.

...

Olympic Athlete Committee.

"We just received a report from the US team, the report is the Olympic champion Zhang Guan of the men's 100-meter sprint event, suspected of gambling to illegally make more than 10 million euros." Standing Vice Chairman Nicholas looked at the person present said, "Now let's discuss whether to accept this report."

All the people here have come to the spirit, especially the big case worth 10 million euros, and the protagonist is Zhang Guan, who has just broken the world record and won the championship, which can attract everyone's attention. One of them immediately asked, "Mr. Vice President, can you elaborate."

"This is the case. Zhang Guan spent nearly 100,000 euros to buy lottery tickets before the start of the track and field competition, or before the official start of the Olympic Games, and he bought it. As a result, he made more than 10 million euros. Nicholas looked at the crowd, and then said: "I think every one must be curious about his bet! I can tell everyone that he used all his money, bought himself to win the Olympic champion, and the odds at that time were extremely high, all of which were above 1: 100. Then he won, won the game, and won the money. According to the amount he bought and the odds, he must have made a profit of more than 10 million euros."

"Well ..." After a brief silence, everyone suddenly started talking quietly.

Whether the athletes can participate in the gambling acquisition, the Olympic Organizing Committee has no clear rules. In other sports in the world, such as the English Premier League, there are clear rules that prohibit Premier League athletes from buying Premier League-related gambling lottery tickets.

"Mr. Vice President, our Olympic Organizing Committee does not stipulate that athletes should not participate in spinach activities. So from the rules, this is not against the rules. I don't know what the US team's allegations are?" A member asked.

"Intentional manipulation of game results, and violation of sportsmanship," Nicholas said.

The US team was prepared to add an illegal profit at the beginning, but it is legal to bet on regular gambling companies. The US also has gambling companies, so if the US team dares to accuse it, it will offend the gambling companies around the world.

A member of the committee heard these accusations and said, "He deliberately manipulate the result of the game. I think it is ridiculous. If an athlete loses the game, there is a possibility of deliberately manipulating the result of the game, but I never have heard that an athlete deliberately wins the game! As an athlete, I hope to win the game. Isn't that supposed to be? Is it necessary to deliberately win the game? "

This committee member is an athlete. He is very dissatisfied with the accusation of "intentionally manipulating the result of the game", so he will make it "clear" intentionally.

"It is theoretically possible for the competition champion to deliberately manipulate the results of the competition, as long as he buys all the other athletes and loses to him." Another said.

"Then he needs to buy through 79 players." Someone said immediately.

"No, no, you just need to buy through the players in the same group as him." The man retorted immediately.

"The 100-meter sprint is two matches a day. It is only after the first match that he knows who will advance. He can't predict the next player group in advance." A committee member continued: "And don't forget his results, he advanced to the semi-finals with the first overall score, then advanced to the semi-finals with the first overall score, and then entered the final with the first overall score. More importantly, he won the championship with a record that broke the world record. The difficulty is that he still needs to spend money to buy through some of the world record holders, let them run slower. Do not break the world record first? A world record can prove that his championship is deserved. "

Immediately, a committee member then released his own opinion: "If we determine that the winner is manipulating the game, then do we have to assume that all previous Olympic champions are manipulating the game? This is illogical."

Several other committee members also agreed, and Vice-Chairman Nicolas also said: "Since

In this way, we have a consensus on manipulating the game. The following are allegations of violations of sportsmanship. "

"Our Olympic spirit is mutual understanding, long-lasting friendship, unity, and fair competition." The member who just spoke shrugged and said, "I don't see Zhang Guan's violation of our Olympic sports spirit."

"We usually judge athletes to violate sports ethics mainly through the use of doping, false reporting of age, and fraud in the game. At present, Zhang Guan has passed the drug test; although we cannot prove Zhang Guan's true age, the Olympics are not the Youth Games. There is a problem of overage. The qualification for a 100-meter sprint depends on the achievement of the standard rather than the age. This does not affect the sports ethics. As for fraud in the game, I just said that he won the record, which is enough to prove Zhang Guan's achievement authenticity." The commissioner who spoke not long ago said.

"But he made a bet on his game!"

"So what? He bought it himself. As an athlete, before the game, he thinks he can win. Isn't it right? Should we encourage athletes to think that they will lose the game before? And it's regular, use of gambling is legal, and we have not stipulated that athletes cannot participate in gambling activities. "

"Our European gambling has a hundred years of history. Every year, hundreds of thousands of athletes compete in Europe. I can be sure that other athletes have bought their wins before, so buying yourself won't be a basis for punishment. And the key to the particularity of this case is that the amount of his profits is too large. He is willing to place a bet of 100,000 euros for himself. He must have thought that he can win the championship before the game, so I think this is a time premeditated profit." Someone immediately issued a different opinion.

"That 's right, I also think that Zhang Guan's gambling purchase this time is premeditated, but as you said, the premise of this premeditated profit is that Zhang Guan thinks he can win the Olympic championship, then the matter back to the original point, should athletes think they can win the championship before the game?" Someone said immediately.

"Gentlemen, I don't think we have to think about this matter so complicated. Gambling is legal in Europe, so gambling profit is also legal, so we don't need to discuss this way of profit; every athlete wants to think about himself. Winning, so buying yourself to win is also not a fault. Now we only need to determine one thing. Is it the correct behavior for athletes to win the championship for profit?" Nicholas pointed out the key point of the problem.

"Athletes win the championship with profit?"

No one answered at the scene. This question seemed quite dialectical, and everyone seemed to be caught in thought.

Almost a minute later, someone suddenly said, "There should be bonuses in the game!"

At this moment, the problem is no longer dialectical, and the problem is solved.

There are prizes in competitions. No matter what sports they are, as long as the prizes are high enough, many people are competing to participate. Are these athletes not for money? Maybe some people will say that I compete for honor, but I believe he will gladly put the prize money in his pocket after winning the championship.

In addition to the competition bonus, you may also receive some other rewards for winning the championship. For example, the Olympic champion, the governments of various countries will give corresponding rewards, some entrepreneurs will also give corresponding rewards, and the local governments will also give corresponding rewards. It is outside the game bonus.

Also, the sponsors of athletes will give athletes additional awards for winning championships. Sometimes, they even directly stipulate in the contract, such as how much money they get into a certain event, how much money they get to a certain level, how much money they win a certain championship, How much money to break a certain record, etc. These can only be obtained after the athlete has achieved certain results or even won the championship. This can also be regarded as winning the game for profit.

Also, there are rewards for bonuses, which are equally numerous and are generally promised before the game. For example, a rich man can promise a certain athlete before the game, as long as you get the Olympic champion, I will reward you 10 million, and then this athlete goes to fight hard to win the championship, which can also be seen as a profit to win the game.

From this perspective, Zhang Guan's behavior is similar to this bounty bonus, but the method is different. The local tyrants gave the athletes a promise before the game, and Zhang Guan was equivalent to buying a promise at his own expense.

There will be money after winning the game, and athletes will win the game for money, which is no problem.

"If I remember correctly, the second place in the 100-meter sprint should be an American! The United States team came to report Zhang Guan, obviously with a clear purpose. Our ethics committee is fair, but by no means use others as a tool." Said an Asian member.

"Yes, if we accept this report, we will become a laughing stock. I suggest not to accept this report." Then someone said.

"Well, it seems that everyone has their own opinions, then let's vote directly!" Nicholas raised his hand first, and said at the same time: "Members who think that the report needs to be accepted, please raise your hands."

Everyone glared at each other, no one raised their hands.
