Chapter 299 Sponsorship
More than half an hour later, Hao Zhiqiang, the guest of the banquet, finally arrived.

"Oh, Mr. Qin, I'm so sorry." Hao Zhiqiang waved to Qin Shaoyan and said hello, "I had a meeting at the last minute and was delayed."

"It's okay, it's okay." Qin Shaoyan enthusiastically pulled Hao Zhiqiang to the chair next to him, "The work of the Olympic Committee is more important. The 08 Olympic Games is a major event for the whole country, so it should naturally be given priority."

"With good cadres like Director Hao working hard and making careful plans for the Olympic Games preparations, they will surely be a complete success."

Director Hao waved his hand and said modestly: "I just did some insignificant work. I don't know how many staff and cadres are working hard for the 08 Olympics. I am just one of them."

"Now that the whole nation is hosting the Olympics, our work cannot be separated from the strong support of the masses."

"Especially the support from President Qin, which has provided a lot of help to our work."

"I am just trying my best." Qin Shaoyan said proudly, "I am just fulfilling my responsibility and obligation to the people. I am not as good as Director Hao."

"Mr. Qin is too modest."

The two sides exchanged some business compliments, and the atmosphere in the room quickly became heated.

Hao Zhiqiang's words were polite, but there was also some sincerity in them.

The last Global International Marathon organized by Qin Shaoyan was quite successful and generated a wave of publicity around the world.

Although it mainly took the center stage for the Athens Olympics, the Yanjing Olympics also gained a lot of popularity.

As the cadre in charge of coordination work, Hao Zhiqiang was praised by his superiors and also appeared in front of the top leaders several times.

Domestic cities such as Yanjing, Shanghai, Yangcheng, and Jinling also took advantage of this opportunity and upgraded the quality of their marathon events.

In the past, they organized their own marathon competitions. Although they were claimed to be international competitions, the vast majority of participants were Chinese. There were not many foreign athletes, and some were foreigners living in the country or international students who came to join in the fun.

A lot of money was spent, but the effect was not very good.

The Global International Marathon organized by Qin Shaoyan is a real international marathon.

At that time at the Yanjing Station, thousands of foreign athletes from dozens of countries came, both black and white.

The scene was filled with loud drums and gongs, blasting firecrackers, waving red flags, and huge crowds of people.

It looks particularly international in front of the camera.

Although the event cost a lot of money, it was well worth the money because they have their own budget for the marathon every year.

This is the first time that Jinling is holding a marathon, but they have a group of enthusiastic private entrepreneurs from Jiangsu Province sponsoring them, so funding is not a problem at all.

Hao Zhiqiang was warmly received by all walks of life in Jiangsu Province, and the local administrative agencies were also quite cooperative. Overall, the last mission went smoothly.

With this relationship, Hao Zhiqiang had a very good impression of Qin Shaoyan. In addition, a big boss with a background like Qin Shaoyan was not a domineering second-generation boss. He did things efficiently and effectively, and he got along well with him.

Just for Zhang Wanli's sake, he was willing to make friends with him.

Not to mention that Qin Shaoyan also gave him a reserved spot in the "International College Student Summer Camp", so this friendship must be continued.

So when Hao Zhiqiang heard that Qin Shaoyan had an appointment, he immediately agreed.

In addition to Qin Shaoyan, he had also met Tian Qingmin and Wang Dalin.

These two are designated suppliers of Facebook.

They provide the uniforms for athletes in the entire Global Marathon, and they have also registered with the leaders.

But he had no idea about the other three coal bosses.

Qin Shaoyan didn't say anything, so Hao Zhiqiang didn't ask any more questions.

Although Mr. Qin is not good at socializing, the private entrepreneurs and energy tycoons present are all veterans. In addition, Hao Zhiqiang is also a veteran cadre who has been tested by alcohol, so the dinner table will not be dull.

After communicating for a long time, Hao Zhiqiang was very puzzled.

They had already drunk the wine and eaten the food, and a few coal bosses wanted to drag him out to sing. If there was really something going on, they should have said it long ago.

But after waiting for a long time, Qin Shaoyan still didn't get to the point.

Tian Qingmin was the one who knew what was going on. He went out on the pretext of paying the bill, and Wang Dalin followed him out. Liu Yuanrui and the others were unwilling to fall behind, and they insisted that they must pay for the meal, and the five of them pulled each other out of the private room.

Qin Shaoyan and Hao Zhiqiang were the only ones left in the room, and the room suddenly became quiet.

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "Director Hao must be very familiar with the sports department."

"Yes." Hao Zhiqiang was a little surprised. He deals with people from the Sports Federation every day, how could he not be familiar with them.

"Does it have anything to do with CCTV's sports channel as well?" Qin Shaoyan continued to ask.

"CCTV?!" Hao Zhiqiang was stunned, then he laughed, "Boss Qin, if you have something to say, just say it directly. You've been beating around the bush and making me guess for so long."

“I can’t say anything else, but I know a few people in the sports channel.”

"But if you're talking about CCTV, it would be more useful for you to talk to Director Meng than to me."

"One thing is another." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "We are family."

"Su Province has a public service advertisement about the National Games and wants to broadcast it on CCTV. They approached me and I couldn't refuse, so I thought of you, Brother Hao."

Hao Zhiqiang smiled and said, "It's not that difficult. I'll introduce you to a few people from CCTV. They're in charge of advertising and investment. When the time comes, just let them talk to the Jiangsu Province."

"Thank you, Brother Hao."

"This little fact is really not worth mentioning!" Hao Zhiqiang smiled and waved his hands.

It was indeed a small matter, but it was not necessary to specially invite Hao Zhiqiang for such a small matter.

"There is one more thing." Qin Shaoyan asked solemnly, "Has the director of the Olympic opening ceremony been decided?"

"Huh?" Hao Zhiqiang was a little surprised, "Why does Mr. Qin ask this?"

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "Curious."

What reason is this?
But Qin Shaoyan was unwilling to speak out, and Hao Zhiqiang did not delve into it, but simply shook his head, "I don't know about this matter. The Olympic Committee has not yet decided on the candidate."

At this time, the Olympic Committee had already begun to solicit opening and closing ceremony proposals from the public that "can fully reflect the Chinese style", but had not publicly recruited candidates for the chief director.

"The chief director position has to be decided by the higher-ups," Hao Zhiqiang said seriously, "and this matter has to be kept confidential before it is announced to the public. We have a confidentiality policy."

"Of course, this is only kept secret from the outside world, but the news is still circulating in a small circle."

Hao Zhiqiang thought for a moment and said, "When the time is right, if the chief director is chosen, I will inform Mr. Qin."

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "No, thank you, Brother Hao. I just want to confirm whether the chief director has been selected. There is nothing else."

Hao Zhiqiang was very surprised and didn't know what Qin Shaoyan was up to.

……

After finishing the meal, Hao Zhiqiang politely declined Liu Yuanrui's invitation to go out for some partying and left on the pretext of work.

Everyone sent Hao Zhiqiang to the car, and several bosses turned their eyes to President Qin, waiting for him to speak.

Qin Shaoyan let out a long sigh and suddenly said, "Brother Liu, each of you three can take out one million."

"Oh, okay." Liu Yuanrui agreed immediately.

As for what Qin Shaoyan wanted the one million for, they didn't ask.

Qin Shaoyan smiled and said, "This money is for sponsoring a public service advertisement. It will be broadcast on CCTV. Your names will be listed on the sponsorship list at the end of the film."

The three coal bosses immediately became excited when they heard this, "It's good to do charity work, we strongly support it!"

"Is one million enough? How about we add a little more and book CCTV's prime time?"

Looking at the coal boss's enthusiastic behavior, Qin Shaoyan was stunned.
