Ping Pong Life

Chapter 490 A Different Cake Bureau
Exercising is a persistent thing, and it doesn't last forever, but the real highlight of today is the annual cake sharing meeting.

There are slightly more people in the conference room today than usual. Although Qin Huachang is missing, there are more Sun Tianlong, Xiao Fei, Wang Shou and Wang Chao.

"Our task this year is relatively easy. First of all, the ITTF has only 11 open tournaments, 5 platinum tournaments, and 6 ordinary tournaments. On average, one tournament a month is not enough."

"Besides, there is no World Table Tennis Championships, Olympic Games and National Games this year, and there is only one World Cup individual competition."

Speaking of this, Cai Guodong subconsciously glanced at Wang Chao.

Last year, Wang Chao was known as Grand Slam and Grand Slam, but in fact, this title is not valid in a strict sense, because he participated in the World Cup team competition instead of individual competition. The most important thing is that even in the team competition, he Also a substitute, never played from the beginning to the end.

Although the rule of the team competition is "everyone in the team is considered a world champion", but for individuals, this nominal championship has no gold content after all, it is rubbish.

The reason why the world table tennis world was hyping Wang Chao's "shortest Grand Slam" last year was mainly because Wang Chao showed too much strength in the two finals of the World Table Tennis Championships and the Olympic Games. With the blessing of strength, all the people in the industry all over the world acquiesce that he is the number one in the world with no dead ends and no disputes in all aspects.

At the same time, the World Cup has the lowest gold content among the three competitions, while the Olympic Games has the highest gold content. Wang Chao has won the first and second gold medals in one go. The next champion with the lowest gold content seems to be a matter of hand, so why bother about this completely unimportant champion?Anyway, there is a title of champion of the team competition as a superficial explanation, so let's just accept it vaguely.

With this kind of mentality of "people carrying people in flowery sedan chairs", everyone chose to directly wear the laurels of "the shortest Grand Slam in history" on Wang Chao's head in advance.

But Wang Chao still needs a justifiable name after all.

So this year's World Cup individual competition, he must win the championship, otherwise, even the laurels that he wore in advance last year will be forcibly taken off by the autumn queen.

"Don't worry, I can do it." Wang Chao naturally understood what Cai Guodong meant, and raised his hand to assure with a smile.

Cai Guodong nodded, without saying much, and continued: "Besides, there will be the annual Asian Cup and the biennial Asian Championships this year. These two events are actually as important as the Platinum Championship of the Open. But because our country has been in a state of consecutive championships, so I mean, we still have to increase the emphasis a little bit to ensure that the consecutive championships continue."

He lowered his head and flipped through the documents in front of him, saying: "That's about it. There are still some small competitions, youth competitions, and commercial invitational competitions. There will be time to discuss them temporarily. The most important thing today is to discuss the results of the World Series I mentioned. Let’s list the names for the battle, okay, let’s go one by one.”

Now the main force of Huaping is replaced by a new generation. The older generation will replace Sun Tianlong and Xiao Fei, one is a disciple of the Qin family and the other is a disciple of the Zhu family. The younger generation will make up for Wang Chao and Fan Xiaodong. There is only one king's family left, Bai Feng, who can't be shaken. It seems that the situation is still divided by the three kings of Qin and Zhu, but if you look closely, the situation has changed a lot.

Wang Chao, who has just entered the main force of the Zhu family, is at the top of the list, while Fan Xiaodong, who has just entered the main force of the Qin family, is at the bottom.

So when Cai Guodong finished speaking, there was a delicate atmosphere in the conference room again. Those ordinary coaches looked at the documents in front of them carefully without squinting. , need to observe again.

Cai Guodong naturally sensed the atmosphere, but he didn't bother to care about it, and said directly: "Then the first match is the opening match, the New Zealand Open, the ordinary station. According to the usual practice, this station must be won. In the past seven years, except last year In addition, Sun Tianlong is responsible for the bottom line every year, so what do you think this year?"

Everyone remained silent, but all looked at He Jingping.

In fact, the situation in Huaping this year is very gratifying. In previous years, the ace Sun Tianlong had to be safe, but this year it only needs to send one of Wang Chao and Luo Jiuzhong to be sure. There is no play.

After all, at the end of last year, Fan Xiaodong single-handedly entered the Open, and he grabbed two gold medals abruptly in three Opens. Even Bayer was beaten out of his temper by him.

Everyone looks at He Jingping because both the world's number one and the world's number two are his disciples, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of flesh. Whoever he wants to go, he has to go. There is no reason for a disciple not to listen to the teacher.

But the problem is that the fewer open tournaments this year, the less points there will be. Everyone wants to grab points and maintain the world ranking. So for the main players, the number of open tournaments they can participate in this year is actually limited. How many stations can be divided, everyone has an account in mind.

The main force of Bai Feng and Lin Li is relatively easy to talk about, because they are not currently in the top echelon strictly speaking, so they don't have to strictly follow the principle of "the king does not see the king". They can sign up for many competitions at the same time. Who can Winning the championship all depends on the on-the-spot performance. It is normal for anyone to lose to the other, and it is also normal for an upset to lose in a foreign game. Especially when they meet Hook, it is actually very difficult for them to win.

But Wang Chao and Luo Jiu must be strictly separated. I will definitely not go to the competitions you can participate in, and you must not register for the competitions I signed up for.

In this way, the difference between the ordinary station and the platinum station is huge. After all, everyone won the same championship, but the points they got are much different.

However, the gap in points had a clear impact on the direct competition between the two in the world rankings.

The New Zealand Open is the first match of the year. There must be many applicants. The chances of accidents are high, the difficulty is high, and the schedule is tight.

This is a thankless stop.

Everyone wanted to see whose name He Jingping called.

Although Lao He has a solid eye, after all, he has held many meetings, and he can still figure out the twists and turns. As the meeting room quieted down, he also became very embarrassed. Look at Wang Chao, and then look at it again. Zhu Zeshi glanced at Cai Guodong again, as if asking for help, but also as if he was watching his words, but he couldn't see anything, so he could only lower his head and think about it, not knowing what he was weighing.

Everyone didn't rush him, and just waited for half a minute.

He Jingping finally figured it out, he raised his head and said, "Then..."

But he didn't finish his sentence, because Wang Chao and Sun Tianlong rushed ahead of him and spoke at the same time.

Wang Chao said "I'll go", while Sun Tianlong said "Wang Chao go".

He Jingping was a little astonished, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then he smiled and said, "That's what I mean too."

Now, the atmosphere in the conference room was even more weird.

When Wang Chao spoke, it could be said that he didn't want to embarrass the teacher, which is understandable.

But when Sun Tianlong spoke, it was too sensitive.

You must know that in the past so many years, the cake-sharing meeting was mainly due to the struggle between the Qin family and the Zhu family. Although the strength of the Qin and Zhu families has alternated, but from a macro perspective within Huaping, it is still a situation of confrontation between the two heroes. As the new leader of the Qin Clan, what Sun Tianlong should do when facing this kind of housework within the Zhu Clan is to keep silent, be cautious in his words and deeds, believe that silence is golden, and never give the Zhu Clan any possible suspicion heart?
Fortunately, he actually took the initiative to speak up, directly assigned, and called the roll call on the spot.

Is this a blatant provocation?
In fact, it is not that no one has thought that Sun Tianlong is just discussing the matter and has a public heart. After all, Sun Tianlong has shown his selflessness in many places throughout last year.

But the matter of sharing the cake is too important. Everyone still feels that Sun Tianlong is selfless and patient in other places. We can all understand it, including you giving Wang Chao a place last year. We can also understand it, because it is your personal Behavior that does not involve small groups.

But the cake distribution meeting represents the collective interests of the small groups within Huaping. At this time, of course, you still have to remember your identity, put the interests of the small groups first, and seek benefits for your disciples and colleagues.

So the group of people couldn't help but look at Zhu Zeshi's face.

Although He Jingping's disciple is now popular, Zhu Zeshi is the leader of the Zhu family after all, and at this moment, he has to express his position.

However, Zhu Zeshi sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, motionless, but Wang Lu who was sitting next to him smiled and said, "I agree with you."

Everyone was completely dumbfounded.

Is this still Wang Lu?

In the past, Wang Lu was famous for his absolute composure and discipline that never made mistakes. Before he joined Huaping, Huaping had no royal family. Lu, starting from Zhu Zeshi's son Zhu Ding, forcibly leveraged the general situation within Huaping, won the friendship of Zhumen, and showed his strong professional ability through training Baifeng. When Baifeng entered the main force, It is also logical that he gained a firm foothold in Huaping and became a new mountain top. Huaping has since changed from a confrontation between two heroes to a three-legged confrontation. Although his foot is slightly weaker, it is really firm.

Such a person actually started to take the initiative to express his opinion today, pointing fingers at the rich family's housework.

This made everyone wonder whether the Qin Sect and the Wang Sect are going to join forces at this meeting.

Could it be that they felt that the potential of the Zhumen was too great, so Wang Lu and Sun Tianlong wanted to join forces and attack from afar?

Thinking about it further, could it be that Qin Huachang was behind the scenes?
Cai Guodong asked: "What about the others? Do you have any other opinions?"

Everyone kept silent, watching their noses, noses, and hearts, feeling that there was a turbulent current under the calm at this moment, and if they didn't pay attention, they would be washed to pieces.

It was Wang Chao who opened his mouth and said with a smile: "It's very suitable for me to go. After all, my total points in the world ranking are quite high now, more than 100 points higher than my senior brother. Even if he is a platinum champion, he can't catch up with him." Get on me."

Sun Tianlong continued: "Besides, Luo Jiu won't be able to fight for a few years, but Wang Chao still has a long way to go. I think, under the premise of ensuring basic fairness, it is right to favor Luo Jiu a little bit."

Wang Lu couldn't find any new dry goods, but he was unwilling to be silent, and said with a smile: "I think exactly the same as you."

Cai Guodong looked at He Jingping, He Jingping nodded and said, "That's it."

"Okay, let's make it final. Last year's first match of the year was attended by Wang Chao. This year, Wang Chao will go." Cai Guodong tapped the table with the pen in his hand: "The second stop, Dubai Platinum Station, what do you say? ?”

The meeting entered the second topic, but the meeting room was still a little abnormally quiet, because many ordinary coaches are still buzzing.

They just thought that they would see a storm that was "quiet as still water and moving like thunder", and thought that this would be the first big show of intrigue and intrigue among the three major schools of Huaping in the first year, but in the end, the few people who spoke each said a word, He actually settled the matter amicably. Now that the head coach has made a final decision, the decision has taken effect and cannot be changed, which completely rules out the possibility of someone harboring evil intentions in it and wanting to make things happen.

This……

This……

This……

That is to say, the three families of Qin, Zhu and Wang sincerely and unanimously recommended Wang Chao?

It turns out that there is no combination of vertical and horizontal?

Are these three major portals as close as a family now?
But this is really different from the style of previous years.

We are all smart people. Although this conclusion is outrageous, since it is a conclusion drawn through rigorous logical reasoning, everyone accepted it as quickly as possible.

It's just that they were still a little shocked, so, when it was obviously necessary to rush to ask for the quota, they just didn't say anything.

Zhu Zeshi coughed, and said, "Although the Dubai station is not the first station of the year, it is the first platinum station of this year, and the prize money of this station is significantly higher than other stations, so the competition is afraid. It's going to be intense..."

Wang Lu smiled and said, "That's true, let Luo Jiu figure it out."

Zhu Zeshi hurriedly said: "No, no, that's not what I mean. I mean, if Lin Li, Bai Feng, and Fan Xiaodong play together, the championship of this round should be quite stable."

"Is it stable? I don't think it's stable at all." Sun Tianlong shook his head: "None of these three people has a [-]% winning rate when they encounter Hu Ke. This stop must be done with a lot of money."

Zhu Zeshi said nothing, just glanced at Cai Guodong.

As the leader of the wealthy family, he naturally hoped that Luo Jiu could participate in the competition, but Wang Chao had already confirmed the first stop. If Luo Jiu went to the second stop, it would seem too domineering. After all, no matter who played between the two, basically All of them can win gold medals, which is equivalent to depriving others of the chance to win the championship.

"It's better for you giants to take away all the champions, okay?"

Zhu Zeshi has a thin skin and a good name. He doesn't want to be gossiped about behind his back.

It was still Cai Guodong who made the final decision: "Luo Jiu still has to go, otherwise no one can deal with Hook."

So Sun Tianlong and Wang Lu nodded together with a smile: "Indeed."

The second round was settled, and the subtle and weird atmosphere in the conference room finally dissipated. The other coaches watched the final decisions of the two open rounds. Now they can finally confirm that there is no conspiracy among the three major schools. Not to mention the yin and yang weirdness, to put it bluntly, they are really friendly, and they are still giving in to each other.

That being the case, then we are welcome wow!
