Chapter 337 Technical Olympics (Part )
  The South China delegation arrived in Athens on April 4, but the British delegation had not yet arrived.
  When Kelly and Ouyang Geng arrived in Athens with the South China delegation, they aroused the surprise of officials of the Athens Olympic Organizing Committee.

Because in the entire Olympic Games, only the Greek team had more members, and not many other countries participated.

For example, Germany and France both have 19 people, the United States has 14 people, the United Kingdom has only 20 people, and other countries even have single digits.

However, Nanhua Company actually came to 43 people, including 21 white people and 22 Chinese people.

When Sir Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the Athens Olympic Organizing Committee, learned that Kelly and her party had arrived, he immediately led the members of the International Olympic Committee to welcome Kelly and her party.

He gave this face because the Athens Olympics was short of money, almost to the point of unsustainability.

Coubertin found Boss Shi, who told the international activist not to worry.

Immediately afterwards, Coca-Cola, Harley-Davidson Motorcycles and Mercedes-Benz under the Yellowstone Fund each sponsored 5 pounds, and Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceuticals of the United States sponsored another 20 US dollars. This large sum of money rescued Sir Coubertin.

Together with the Greek government, Greek people and wealthy Greek businessmen, this sports event was finally held.

Therefore, after arriving in Athens, you can see wall advertisements for Johnson & Johnson, Coca-Cola, Harley-Davidson motorcycles and Mercedes-Benz cars everywhere.

Kelly, surrounded by Olympic Committee officials, slowly entered the hotel organized by the Olympic Games.

The Lumière brothers who were following the photoshoot felt incredible that their boss was so respected.

……

The British delegation arrived on April 4. Because the Olympic Games were not taken seriously, it was a civil servant named Blair Scayne from the Ministry of Health in the Cabinet.

Then another Australian representative arrived. This time there were only four Australians participating in the competition.

Both companies were surprised that Nanhua Company had so many contestants.

Kelly ignored these people. She and Ouyang Geng and his wife met with the King and Crown Prince of Greece and held discussions with the new Prime Minister of Greece.

The two parties reached a deal on bauxite ore, and Germany's electrolytic aluminum plant was in urgent need of large quantities of bauxite ore.

Greece's reserves are quite high, so it's just right to reach an agreement.

……

At 4 pm on April 6, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was officially held.

Kelly appeared on the auditorium as a guest and stood together with the dignitaries from various countries participating in the meeting.

King George I of Greece solemnly announced the opening of the conference. As the host, he extended a warm welcome to guests and players from all over the world.

At the opening ceremony, he praised Coubertin for his efforts in founding the modern Olympic Games and expressed his deep respect for Coubertin, the founder.

At the same time, the head of state paid tribute to Kelly and the boss of Nanhua Company, Shi, and thanked them for their generous donation to make this event possible.

After George I finished speaking, more than 8 Athens citizens burst into warm applause. Kelly nodded slightly and accepted people's thanks with a smile.

After King George I finished speaking, the "Olympic Hymn" was played in the venue.

This song is a solemn classical string piece and a very moving piece of music. It later became the anthem of the Olympic Games.

After the performance of the anthem was completed, the Olympic Games officially opened.

……

The first event of the Olympic Games was the triple jump. Nanhua Company did not sign up for this event. A Harvard graduate from the United States won the first place in this event.

While competing here, the players of the South China representative team are also in the midst of intense preparations.

Bailey Turner was a strong white British man who competed in weightlifting, shot put and discus.

This competition does not prohibit cross-event competition, so you can participate in multiple events.

Participating in the same project as him is Zhang Ming, a Chinese who is chubby and very rich.

Because they didn't understand each other's language, they basically relied on gestures to communicate.

The two of them often win in track and field competitions in various sports events held by Nanhua Company. It is very easy for them to participate in the Olympics this time.

As the game approached, team doctor Betsy Tranda came over.

"It's time for you to take your medicine."

Bailey Turner and Zhang Ming nodded, raised their heads and opened their mouths.

Betsy Tranda used a dropper to put five drops of nitroglycerin into each of their mouths.

This drug promotes blood vessel dilation and enhances short-term bursts of strength. Until the 20s, the use of drugs to improve physical fitness was encouraged.

If Nanhua Company wants to win this Olympics, it will naturally use more "technological means" like this.

After taking the nitroglycerin, Bailey Turner and Zhang Ming smacked their lips and smiled at Betsy Tranda.

Betsy Tranda waved her hand, and then went to give other athletes medicine.

……

When the competition time came, Bailey, Turner and Zhang Ming followed the leader into the weightlifting venue.

There are only two forms of weightlifting competitions, one is one-handed weightlifting and the other is two-handed weightlifting.

Therefore, most registrations for this project are across projects, so those participating in the qualifiers need to coordinate to prevent anyone from being missed.

After waiting for almost half an hour, the referee coordinated the contestants to participate in the preliminary selection.

The competition area was very noisy, and Bailey Turner and his partner Zhang Ming were very patient.

As the referee called No. 15 to prepare, Bailey Turner immediately stepped forward to prepare, while his partner Zhang Ming followed him quietly.

The challenge in the preliminaries was a 60kg barbell, and Bailey Turner easily lifted the weightlifting bar with one hand.

There were no barbells at this time, and the weight was a wooden stick with an iron ball hooped at both ends.

Zhang Ming, who was behind him, also passed the test, and then came the pre-selection of two-handed weightlifting.

The preliminary weight for the two-hand weightlifting is 100 kilograms. The two also passed the preliminaries. Tomorrow is the final.

After participating in the weightlifting, they went back to participate in the discus and shot put preliminaries. Because the preliminaries were not difficult, they both passed easily.

……

The shooting competition was held in Kalidaea, Athens. Zhu Shan, as a marksman, participated in the competition together with his teammate Li Liang.

The first thing to be held was the 200-meter military rifle competition. The competition venue here was very simple, and there were no unified regulations on the use of guns in the competition. It was all about bringing your own weapons.

The military rifles chosen by the contestants are also diverse, including single-shot rifles and new rifles.

Zhu Shan and Li Liang were both sharpshooters, and their rifles were finely tuned, so this game became a duel between the two.

"Bang bang~~~"

When the audience watching the game saw Zhu Shan and Li Liang, who had yellow skin and dark eyes, they all showed strange eyes.

After seeing Zhu Shan and Li Liang hit the target, the audience couldn't stop cheering.

They burst into cheers. The other white contestants were a little unconvinced, but there was nothing they could do if they were not convinced. They couldn't even hit the target with the most basic gun.

The only Greek who participated in the competition, Karasevdas, could hit the target with a gun, but his results were disastrous. The ratio of hitting the red heart with ten shots was only three or four, let alone 60 bullets.

In the end, Zhu Shan scored 595 rings with his stable performance, while Li Liang lost at 594 rings.

Nanhua Company's first first prize was born, and Zhu Shan and Li Liang stood on the podium.

Nanhua Company's dragon-body and double-headed lion flag appeared on the international stage for the first time, and the song "On the Field of Hope" played in the venue was a record song poured in by Nanhua Company in advance.

Our hometown is in the field of hope
  Cooking smoke wafts over newly built houses

Small river flows beside a beautiful village

A piece of winter wheat (that), a piece of sorghum ten miles (yo)
  The fruity fragrance of the lotus pond is ten miles away ~ cough yo ~ oh ah eh eh eh eh yo cough

We have lived in this field for generations

Wealth for her, prosperity for her
  Our future lies in the field of hope
  People live under the bright sunshine

Life changes in people's labor

The old people raise their glasses (that), the children laugh, the young men (yo)
  The girl who plays the piano sings eh ~ cough yo ~ ho ah eh eh eh yo cough

We have struggled in this field for generations

Fight for her happiness, fight for her glory, fight for her happiness, fight for her glory~
