After the race, Wang Ai and the whole team took a bus back to the Olympic Village.After losing a game, no matter how calm they were, they were a little unhappy, so everyone didn't engage in any entertainment activities, but gathered in the conference room to watch the live broadcast of another semi-final game.The two sides were Iraq and Paraguay, and after 90 minutes, Iraq lost 1:3 and became China's opponent for the bronze medal in the Olympic Games.The whole team had mixed feelings about this opponent.The 81st National Olympic Games once played a 0:0 game with Iraq in the group stage of the Asian Youth Championship four years ago.Four years have passed, but I didn't expect that the two sides would reunite in the third-place battle of the Olympic Games.But that's not why everyone is in mixed moods.Because four years ago, Iraq was still a strong and rich independent country, and despite the severe sanctions imposed by the United Nations and the lack of medical care for many residents, Iraq's state apparatus was still functioning well, oil was still being exported, and social order was still in good condition.And four years later, that powerful dictator was pulled out of his hole like a rat, the army was gone, the government was paralyzed, jobs were gone, electricity was gone, sectarian strife was everywhere, and religious leaders and extremist groups were rising under the suppression of the secular regime.Originally, there was no al-Qaeda in Iraq, but when the US military came, extremist organizations surged.Iraq's "81 National Olympics" were born in Iraq's most powerful period, received the most professional training, and the Iraqi government provided them with the most sound guarantees.But at the age when they are about to win glory for the country and produce results, the country is finished, and they can't even compete on their home soil.The Chinese are emotionally inclined to Iraq because we are also being bullied by the Americans, and the dollar money is soaked in the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang, whether it is selling weapons to support reactionaries, or invading North Korea, threatening China's revival industrial base, or constantly pinching Taiwan to force us to comply.This is especially true of the two events before and after the new century.The 81 National Olympic Games, the representative of the young generation of Chinese football, and the successor of the future national team, although because of the low level of education, sometimes swearing, selling pornography, or all kinds of other problems, but they have never been relaxed in their ideological work.At the same time, they were born in an era that attached great importance to patriotic education, after all, the textbooks at that time had not yet deleted the "******".They grew up in the era of reform and opening up and gradually became rich, but they also experienced all kinds of humiliations experienced by the country.So they are full of sympathy for the Iraqi National Olympics.The tears of the Iraqi players who had to give up the home game on TV, and the tears of Iraqi civilians, made the players, including Wang Ai, feel concerned.Fortunately, I was born in China!
got the news that the opponent was Iraq, and even Lao Shen had no desire to speak, waved his hand to let the players disperse, and he took Sun Chengyao and Wang Jianying's two assistants to study the tactics of the next game.Wang Ai, who returned to the room, was touched by the sudden appearance of the opponent Iraq, and rarely pulled Yan Zhu and Zhao Dan to talk about a lot of topics unrelated to football.From his point of view, there are three main ways for him to practice patriotism: first, through his personal efforts and family support, he helps the development of Chinese football, so as to enhance the national self-confidence of the Chinese nation; Second, by going beyond the Internet Investment Company, the Northern Paper and Light Industry Research Institute, and the Dumb Food Research Institute, efforts are made to support China's scientific and technological development, albeit only in a very narrow scope; Third, through the Dumb Scholarship Fund and irregular education donations, we will strongly support the development of China's education.In the past three years, he has personally donated more than 200 million yuan, and the stupid student fund has also raised more than 100 million yuan from the stupid company, beyond the company and scattered social love enterprises, and a total of more than 5,000 college students who have to give up their studies due to family poverty, which is only in Liaoning Province.Wang Ai is different from ordinary rich people in that he was not kidnapped by wealth in the process of wealth growth, and lost his "humanity" by the "nature" of wealth itself increasing in value.He is certainly not a saint, a virgin, but knows that the fate of the individual and the state are deeply bound together.Those who welcomed the US military on the streets of Baghdad turned into protesters a year later.If the country is good, it is really good.If a person has achieved financial freedom, if he still thinks about "making money and making money" all day long, he is actually losing himself.A few years ago, Wang Ai was the first to advocate at a family business meeting: "After money meets personal needs, it is no longer a consumer product, but a tool for doing things......
What to do?
Doing something meaningful, of course. ”Sometimes, Xu Sanduo is such a simple and low-level person, who often sees things more clearly.This is the first time that Wang Ai has completely opened his heart and chatted with his two guards, from football to business, from investment to technology, from domestic to international, almost everything.In Wang Ai's world of thinking, football is only one of the most direct areas that can benefit China's rejuvenation at the moment, but it is far from the whole story.Yan Zhu and Zhao Dan also learned for the first time that Wang Ai sometimes reads corporate briefings and gives various suggestions.The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, since he has become the sole heir of a large number of wealthy families in the country, there are some things that can be done but not done, that is a dereliction of duty, or in other words, it is called a "historical mission".Just as Wang Ai has done in the field of Chinese football.Yan Zhu is experienced in accidents, and he doesn't talk much but in a word, Zhao Dan has a lively personality and frequently asks questions.The rise of the three of them chatting, replacing wine with tea, talked until three o'clock in the morning.The next day, the whole team was still on holiday.Originally, the girls of the women's football team should return to China after playing the match against Brazil, but the men's football team has achieved so good results, so they begged Nan Yong and stayed for a few days to cheer for the men's football team.After watching the match against Argentina, I was ready to return home.The hip-hop beach soccer finally diluted the sorrow in the hearts of his teammates.After sending off the women's football girls, the whole team resumed their pre-match preparations the next day.In the midst of intense preparations, the match day for both sides has arrived.At 6:30 p.m. on August 27, the penultimate match of the men's football competition of this Olympic Games, the bronze medal match, kicked off at the Caftanzoglio Stadium in Thessaloniki.The match was played against China, which defeated Mexico and Italy, and Iraq, which defeated Portugal and Australia.Compared with the South American civil war between Argentina and Paraguay in the final, the bronze medal battle is the highest level of Asian football.The tears of the Iraqis really touched everyone, however, football does not believe in tears!
