When Gao Jing ran to Victory Road and was still 1,000 meters away from Victory Memorial Square, bursts of cheers suddenly erupted from both sides of the long street.
Thousands of Yuncheng citizens and tourists all gave Gao Jing the most sincere and enthusiastic cheers!
In the past few international marathons, the championships were all won by African-American runners.
If the first contestant to appear in Victory Lane this year was still an African-American contestant, everyone would applaud, but there would definitely not be such enthusiasm and joy.
The most important thing is that Gao Jing, who is 1.87 meters tall in running shoes, is really handsome!
"come on! Come on!"
Cheers and cheers accompanied Gao Jing all the way to the finish line.
Although his strongest opponent was far behind and his own physical strength was exhausted, Gao Jing still made the final sprint with the enthusiastic encouragement of the audience.
After he broke through the long red collision line, the atmosphere around him instantly reached a climax.
"champion!"
In the Sailfish live broadcast room, "Tomorrow and Tomorrow" fired 7 rockets in a row!
Gao Jing continued to run forward for more than ten meters with the colorful rope before slowing down and switching to walking to adjust his breathing.
He was sweating profusely and his heartbeat was beating violently.
Although Gao Jing's physical fitness is several times stronger than before, it has not reached superhuman levels.
A volunteer ran over and handed the national flag to Gao Jing.
"Thanks!"
Gao Jing took the national flag with both hands, draped it solemnly on his body, and waved to the cameras and the cheering crowd.
thank you all!
It is raining heavily in the copper anchor, and the power of faith is pouring in continuously.
Gao Jing has already felt the existence of the limit!
When he stopped, another staff member sent flowers.
People from the TV station then appeared, and a beautiful host held a microphone and conducted a live interview with Gao Jing.
"Hello Gao Jing, congratulations on winning the Yuncheng Summer International Marathon!"
"May I ask how you feel now?"
Gao Jing secretly complained about the opponent's formulaic question and replied with a smile: "I'm very happy. I didn't expect that I could win the championship. I'm very excited now."
Gao Jing was telling the truth. Before entering the competition, he was not sure of winning.
Now I feel like I can run a little faster.
"According to the registration information, you are from Yuncheng. Do you have anything to say to the people of Yuncheng now?"
"Well, thank you all for your encouragement and support!"
"So…"
After the short interview, the two African-American runners crossed the finish line one after another.
Nearly 10 minutes slower than Gao Jing!
Gao Jing’s full marathon time was 2 hours, 04 minutes and 17 seconds.
This result not only broke the best record of the Yuncheng Marathon, but also created the latest record of domestic city marathons. It has undoubtedly become the biggest highlight of this year's event!
However, the results of the winner were not announced immediately. In accordance with the regulations of the organizing committee, Gao Jing underwent a drug test.
Of course he did not take any contraband, so the results are real and valid.
The award ceremony will be held subsequently.
Amidst the sounds of celebratory music, Gao Jing ascended the podium located in the center of Victory Square.
He got a championship trophy, a certificate, and a big check.
The check is a promotional sign made with inkjet printing and kt board, and the actual bonus will be directly deposited into Gao Jing's bank account.
Since Gao Jing is a domestic contestant, the money was directly converted into RMB.
Almost 350,000 yuan.
Tax-free.
Not only that, because Gao Jing broke the record, the organizer rewarded him with another 100,000 yuan.
The total prize money is up to 450,000!
This money completely solved Gao Jing's urgent need, so that he no longer had to borrow money from Boss Ma's family to survive.
After the award ceremony, Gao Jing accepted interviews from many media.
Everyone is still very curious about this new champion who suddenly appeared.
After all, previous awards have been monopolized by African-American contestants.
Moreover, Gao Jing is still an amateur contestant.
After dealing with reporters, Gao Jing was about to leave.
A middle-aged man blocked his way: "Hello, Mr. Gao Jing, can I have a few words with you?"
Gao Jing frowned: "Excuse me, what can I do?"
What he wants to do most now is to find a buffet restaurant and have a good meal!
I really don't have much time to socialize with strangers.
"My surname is Huang."
The middle-aged man observed his words and immediately presented a beautiful business card with both hands: "We have something important to discuss."
Gao Jing took the business card.
This middle-aged man's name is Huang Decheng, and his title is the chief agent of Yuncheng Xingyao Agency.
Gao Jing burst into laughter: "You don't want to sign me, do you? I'm not made to be a star."
"No no no!"
Huang Decheng shook his head and said seriously: "Mr. Gao Jing, in my opinion you have the potential to become a star!"
"Can we talk more about this?"
Gao Jing thought for a while and agreed.
The two sat down in a cafe near Victory Square.
Unlike what Gao Jing thought before, Huang Decheng is not an entertainment agent, but a sports agent!
He didn't want to sign Gao Jing to develop into the entertainment industry.
Huang Decheng hopes to sign a contract with Gao Jing to represent Gao Jing's competition business.
In other words, he selects and arranges city marathons at home and abroad for Gao Jing, and then gets a share of the prize money.
"Mr. Gao Jing..."
Huang Decheng said sincerely: "I just watched your competition. Although you are a bit too old for your age, your talent is very outstanding. If you receive reasonable professional training, I believe your results will be further improved."
"Our company can tailor a training program for you and hire professional coaches to teach you."
"And we can also guarantee that as long as you follow our arrangements, your annual income will be at least this amount!"
He raised his right hand to Gao Jing and opened it into a palm. He picked up the coffee cup with his left hand and took a sip.
He looked at Gao Jing very confidently.
Gao Jing smiled: "50 million?"
Huang Decheng almost spit out the coffee in his mouth and quickly put down the cup: "5 million."
Gao Jing smiled and said nothing.
Of course he was joking with Huang Decheng.
But to be honest, Gao Jing was really moved for that moment.
With Gao Jing's current physical condition, as the other party said, if he carries out professional training, his performance will definitely improve a lot, and he may be able to break the marathon world record!
Moreover, he is also very good-looking and has a brilliant record, so it is easy to become a highly anticipated sports star.
Not to mention competition bonuses, you can earn a lot of money by filming commercials and receiving endorsements.
This path is undoubtedly more realistic and easier than becoming an entertainment star!
Gao Jing's dream can definitely come true.
However, the Gao Jing of today is no longer the Gao Jing of the past.
In the past half month, his life has undergone incredible changes.
Becoming a sports star and earning five million a year is no longer attractive!
What Gao Jing really yearns for in his heart is the big world full of dangers and endless opportunities.
A big world that belongs to him!
Seeing that Gao Jing was unmoved, Huang Decheng became a little anxious: "Mr. Gao Jing, we are very sincere. You have to know that it is not that easy to run a race by yourself. Others will definitely target you in the future..."
He thought Gao Jing wanted to live alone and was unwilling to give the brokerage company a share.
So Huang Decheng and Gao Jing explained the weaknesses of working alone and the advantages of having the support of a brokerage company.
Only then did Gao Jing learn that due to the popularity of domestic urban marathons in recent years, many bounty hunters have appeared.
There are many brokerage companies that specialize in organizing African-American athletes to come to China to make money.
In order to win the game, the agency will help players formulate various plans to defeat their opponents.
Some strategies are within the rules, but there are also insidious and shameless methods.
Gao Jing's previous encounters in the competition are the best proof. If the advantage wasn't too great, there would be tough moves waiting for him later.
That's a trick that can't be written down.
There are other tricks as well.
Therefore, you must have the support of a brokerage company to withstand all kinds of open and covert attacks.
But Huang Decheng obviously made the wrong calculation.
The more Gao Jing listened to what he said, the more resentment and disgust he felt toward the so-called "unspoken rules of the circle"!
"Mr. Huang..."
Gao Jing interrupted the other party and said: "Thank you for your appreciation and love. I think I may not participate in competitions again in the future, so I can only accept your kindness."
"We are destined to meet again."
Rejecting Huang Decheng's offer to stay, Gao Jing got up and left the cafe.
He paid the bill when he left.
…
At 8 o'clock that evening, Yuncheng TV station's "Yuncheng News" broadcast news about the Summer International Marathon.
As the champion of this competition and a record-breaking participant, Gao Jing's appearance time lasted for 2 minutes!
There is no TV in Gaojing, so I didn’t see this news.
But after the news ended, Gao Jing, who had just fallen asleep, suddenly woke up.
