Chapter 95: Olympic pioneer William


The most dazzling star of this reception was naturally Edith Rockefeller. To be honest, Sheffield felt that the arrival of Coubertin was actually just an excuse for her to hold a reception. Even if it was another wine bag, even if Edith Rockefeller wanted it, Can be held as scheduled, several heirs of the Vanderbilt family should live this kind of life every day.
Compared with what Coubertin told about the sports spirit of the surrounding guests, but did not know that the surrounding guests were actually only interested in the aristocratic identity of this French nobleman, Edith Rockefeller circled between the guests, Sheffield roughly observed, It seemed that the person who came did not know the first lady of Chicago, and even the face of her husband beside him had a tired look, but she was happy.
"These people are not interested in Coubertin's sports ideas at all. Anne, you mediate from them and don't let him down." Sheffield knows that these flamboyant rich people are not interested in sports.
Now the atmosphere of the United States, because of the different times and systems, naturally can not be compared with the Republic of China a hundred years later, but there is one thing that is strikingly similar, extreme money. A small number of people like sports. The fitness industry in the United States is so developed that it does not delay the exaggeration of the high obesity rate, so that it cannot be said that people are fat.
The few countries with high obesity rates in front of the United States are scary, and almost all of them are peaceful religions in the desert.
After Anne went to Coubertin to build a communication bridge, Sheffield was suddenly surrounded by a single figure. The little Rockefeller, who had come late, resolved this embarrassment and pulled Sheffield back from the drowsy, "He is Coubertin? It seems nothing special. "
"Great careers are always not understood, but we should find the value in them. Your father is known to be able to peep through the secrets of God." Sheffield brought a cup to Rockefeller Jr., leaning against the window and laughing Said, "Wait for me when the reception is over."
Sheffield knows that the Olympic Games is a grand event for future generations, and only the World Cup can be compared. It can be said that in addition to football and the basketball of the United States people sincerely few sports, almost all sports have the highest honor.
Faster, higher, and stronger are excellent notes of the Olympic spirit. In a peaceful era, this is the frontier of national confrontation. In fact, it is not the Soviet Union that gives the Olympics a standard for a strong country, it is precisely the United States. If Sheffield remembered correctly, the United States of America for the Olympic Games is the first overall medal, overtaking the host Greece, and has been in the top three for many years.
After the establishment of the Soviet Union, confrontation in the sports arena pushed the atmosphere of the Olympic Games as a stage of peace to the top.
Since this is the case, as a patriotic benchmark, Sheffield thinks it is better to be in one step. Anyway, the United States has its own national conditions in this era, it is to oppose Britain. To stimulate public opinion and set off a sports confrontation, it is estimated that the British will not have much reaction to this kind of trick, but the reaction to the citizens of the United States in the country is huge. Anyway, as long as he wins, he can bring rhythm to the media newspaper By the way, preach the coming of the American century.
If it were not for Anne to reconcile from it, it is estimated that Coubertin ’s first impression of the wealthy in the United States is that these upstarts are so unreasonable that they are completely uninterested in their favorite sports career. Even so, Coubertin did not get the opportunity to promote the concept of sports, and he was disappointed.
However, I really love sports. Are you ready to fight for there are important people, you can also add small Rockefeller, Sheffield has always avoided eating alone, and must pull Little Rockefeller together.
The real good show On the next day, Sheffield took Anne, had a chat with Rockefeller Jr., and the Edith Rockefellers, and Coubertin. It can be seen that the Ediths and Mrs. were not at all concerned about this issue. Not interested, even the First Lady of Chicago may be because the yesterday's reception was too involved and the spirit was still a bit weak, but unexpectedly, she persevered, but Harold McCormick left first.
However, the only person who can really talk about Olympics with Coubertin is Sheffield alone. Have n’t you eaten pork and have n’t watched the pig run? How to say he has watched many Olympic Games, the United States has also hosted. I still know some basic processes.
The deeper the discussion, the more shocked Coubertin was to Sheffield's enthusiasm and proposal, and even many things did not even be noticed by his proponent, but the rich second generation of the United States in front of him can speak the truth.
"I think the renaissance of the Olympics is not just in Greece or Europe. He should be a grand event for all countries in the world. He has his own flag and his badge." Sheffield listened to Coubertin's comments on the Olympics. Planning, recalling the memories of future generations, and talking eloquently, "The white underside and the circles symbolizing the five continents are connected to each other, so that the entire Olympics has great significance. Maybe there are not many countries that just participated , But I believe that Mr. Coubertin ’s idea will spread to the whole world with the Olympics. "
Coubertin did n’t want to be surprised, but if you think about it carefully, Sheffield ’s Olympic flags and badges are indeed very good ideas. The Olympics should be promoted to the whole world with a sigh. "Even many Europeans I couldn't understand my thoughts. I didn't expect to come to the United States, but I met a dedicated person like Master William. "
"Genius is always not understood by ordinary people, but people in the future will certainly understand." Sheffield smiled very sunny, absolutely not for any happy education, do not rumors, otherwise the Sheffield United Company Legal Department will talk to you, or thank you Field Black Gold employees will come to your door and give you a one-way ticket to heaven.
Of course Sheffield did not forget the little Rockefeller, who could not intervene, and said, "John and I are very enthusiastic about this matter, and we plan to provide some sponsorship when the time comes. The sponsorship will always go to the competition. We will also publish this in domestic newspapers News, and let as many American countries as possible. "
No need for Coubertin to say that Sheffield offered to contribute money to help Coubertin spread the news of the Olympic sports revival as widely as possible.
This statement has surprised Cobertin, and he has even made preparations for long-term persuasion. Just as he has appealed in various European countries, he did not expect things to be so smooth and could not help but excitement, "Master William, Master John, you are also pioneers of the Olympic movement and will be remembered by history. "
I want to be a pioneer in happy education! Sheffield said shyly, "No, it's just an honor to be able to provide some help within our ability to meet your husband."
