280 Unreliable England

If you do not modify the horse farm according to the customer's requirements, it means there is no income and it will be difficult to maintain the horse farm.

In this case, Old Hawks actually has nothing to hesitate about.

After thinking for a while, he said, "80,000 US dollars, I promise to renovate the horse farm as this gentleman said."

But not only did this say not make Lancet happy, but instead looked at Old Hawks with a look of embarrassment and dissatisfaction.

80,000 US dollars is equivalent to 20,000 pounds.

It would be fine if there were only one or two thousand, or even a few thousand.

But the difference is 10,000 pounds, and people who don’t know why may wonder if Lanster wants to make a fortune.

"Don't be nervous," Li Changheng smiled and patted Lanster on the shoulder, "Mr. Hobbs meant that the staff of the horse farm could help.

And there must be a lot of unused materials in the horse farm, including sand and wood chips, right, Mr. Hawkes?"

Old Hawks understood instantly.

He nodded and said to Lanster apologetically, "There are many woods for the remodeling site, and the horse farm that were used to remove and spare.

Although it is not new wood, it is definitely enough.

As for labor, my employees are definitely willing to make some extra money.”

"Okay, just do what you said."

Li Changheng doesn't want to waste too much time on this matter.

"Mr. Hawks, you will need to send someone to sort out the accommodation in the past two days.

Moreover, it must be one room for one person.

Instead of being like your former employees, two or four in one room.”

"No problem, sir, I'll come to the cleaning company tomorrow, just,"

Li Changheng smiled and nodded at the Blade, "Give him 100,000 to Mr. Hawks."

Soon, he packed a handbag worth $100,000 and placed it in front of Old Hawks.

"Let's go, my dear, let's check out the training grounds for canoeing and archery programs."

Pelham Bay Park covers an area of ​​2,700 acres, not only has long beaches, but also several rivers that are at least ten meters wide.

Even a 300-acre island in the middle of the lake has a rural resort hotel.

A rural hotel for Americans means that it occupies a large enough area.

In some places, an outdoor archery field can be rebuilt, and the wooden indoor archery field can be built only for 40,000 US dollars.

Moreover, the training grounds for canoeing and archery are set up on a quiet and closed island.

Except for those who can go out on weekends, you have to stay on the island for other times, so it is impossible to train without worry.

In order to achieve results and make Annie gain greater reputation, the biggest motivation that Li Changheng thought of was the reward of money.

Basically all countries will reward Olympians who win medals with certain monetary rewards.

But what is surprising is that, as a developed country, England is a singular rooster.

There are still many trainings and no training funds are provided at all.

Before the 21st century, athletes came up with their own family background or their parents' wealth.

On the other hand, it depends entirely on community, corporate and private sponsorship.

Therefore, England is very strong in bicycles, kayaking and sailing.

It's entirely because Cambridge and Oxford have kayak competitions every year.

Sailing is the hobby of rich people. There are many clubs, so they have the basis for achieving good results.

Bicycles are due to competition with France, and there are many events in Europe.

There are many opportunities for competition and the prize money is also very good.

With a high viewing group, bicycle manufacturers will sponsor the players of their own bikes.

But other Olympic events are not that lucky.

Even many advantageous projects will face the problem of lack of training funds.

Otherwise, after learning that Anne is willing to sponsor archery, equestrian and canoe.

I won’t even ask Anne to sponsor bicycles, rowing, kayaks, sailing and windsurfing, these powerful and gold-winning projects in England.

The person in charge of archery, equestrian and canoeing was willing to come to the United States to train without considering it when Anne provided the venue, accommodation, and even necessary equipment.

It’s really a loss of money in sports these days.

Although TVs are popular, the lack of programs means that the advertising effect is not strong.

In addition, the championship is divided into events, and many sports events rarely involved in the public, and no one invites them to endorse the event.

To truly reflect the value of Olympic champions, we have to wait until sports brands such as Adidas and Nike compete for the market before they can start to make the champions have large advertising revenue.

But Nike was established in 1972, and Adidas’s Clover logo was released in 1972.

And they are still making football at this time, and the sales of sneakers are a mess.

Since strong events are short of money, no one pays attention to events like canoeing and archery that were truly confirmed to appear in the 1972 Olympics in September last year.

Equestrianism is a very expensive project no matter which country it is in.

But England, as a country that retains the most complete aristocratic system and indeed gives the nobles a certain right and brokerage foundation, has only won one equestrian champion.

Even since the second year of war, the highest gold medal year was 6 in 56 years.

Then there were 2 in 60 years, 4 in 64 years, 5 in 68 years, 3 in 72 years, and then 5 lasted for 20 years, and suddenly dropped to 1 in 96 years.

Maybe I really felt embarrassed, so I strongly sponsored various sports events.

But strangely, they still don't give the championship money.

Therefore, Li Changheng is willing to sponsor the Olympics, and England is actually strongly in favor of the Olympics management agency and the official.

Even after he was able to participate in the competition, he received £10,000.

After winning a bronze medal, you can get another 10,000 yuan, 30,000 yuan in silver medals, and 50,000 yuan in gold medals.

I heard that several players who are not the strongest in rowing and kayaking can directly apply for canoeing projects.

Then there was a rumor that the air rifle shooting association planned to take athletes directly to New York to seek refuge with Anne.

To put it bluntly, these people are of course for the championship, but more importantly, once they are obtained, they will be 10,000 pounds in the official competition qualification, and the prize of at least 10,000 pounds is at least 10,000 pounds.

After all, 10,000 pounds in 70 years is equivalent to 7.5 annual average annual salary for individuals in London.

After completing the venues of three project teams, Li Changheng took Annie home after the accommodation issues.

Two days later, at 5 pm on April 2, 1970.

With some excitement, Annie boarded a Bell 204 helicopter and drove the helicopter into the air under the escort of another helicopter.

Fly straight to the Lake Resort in Pelham Bay Park.

Annie, wearing headphones, looked at Li Changheng's sunglasses, flying helmet, and holding the side face of the control lever.

I suddenly felt that my sweetheart was so handsome.

In the United States, the flight altitude is less than 100 meters.

You can fly whatever you want after taking off.

The helicopter flew along the coast of Long Island and Queens in a few minutes on Long Island and then arrived in the Bronx.

The escort helicopter landed at the hotel in the middle of the lake and shut down.
