Chapter 1877: Chapter 691: Her Mom Is Also a Great Beauty!

Athens, as the birthplace of the modern Olympics, is both an ancient and beautiful city.

Although it’s already evening, due to the Olympic Games, the streets and alleys are still bustling with people, mostly from different parts of the world, with different skin colors and beliefs.

In his past life, Zhang Jingdong couldn’t attend the Yanjing Olympics, but now, for the first time, he deeply felt what the Olympic atmosphere was, what an international event is.

If it weren’t for the Olympic committee being so careless in later years, this event is truly one of the best ways for a city to gain world-class attention.

Soon, while the taxi passed an intersection, Zhang Jingdong suddenly saw a group of athletes, and then he suddenly remembered something.

He immediately took out his cellphone and called Wang Tao.

After just two rings, the other side picked up: "Hello, boss!"

"Have the signing team come to Athens tonight, also have the staff in Huaxia contact the Olympic delegation’s staff, I want to sign a few potential athletes in advance."

"Alright, I’ll contact them and call you back."

Sophia then said, "So you really want to sign these Olympic athletes? But compared to these athletes, aren’t those big celebrities more influential? Why don’t you approach them first?"

Zhang Jingdong smiled and shook his head, "You don’t get it, do you? Usually, the influence of those Olympic champions isn’t as great as that of big celebrities, but for certain special athletes, if they achieve outstanding results in a certain period, their worldwide influence can absolutely not be matched by those big celebrities."

"Furthermore, every big celebrity is in the entertainment industry, so they more or less have some negative news about them, whereas the image of those Olympic champions is almost perfect."

"Or to put it another way, compared to those big celebrities, people have a higher tolerance for Olympic champions. Even if they have a slight flaw in their personal ethics, people will automatically ignore it, especially in Huaxia."

Sophia and He Jieyu both nodded thoughtfully.

Soon, the taxi slowly stopped at the Hilton Hotel.

They paid the fare and got out of the car.

They went to the front desk to book a suite, and then went upstairs to their room.

Just then, Wang Tao called.

Zhang Jingdong patted Sophia and He Jieyu on their butts and then went to the balcony in the living room to answer the call, "Hello..."

"Boss, I got in touch with the deputy head of our Huaxia Olympic delegation. Do you want to talk to him, or should I contact him with the list of athletes you want to sign?"

"I’ll talk to him, send me his contact information."

"Alright."

After hanging up, Wang Tao sent the contact information over to Zhang Jingdong, who then made a call to the other party.

In the end, he asked them to help sign four people: one was Liu Xiang, another was Lin Dan, another was Zhang Yining, and the last was Guo Jingjing.

Lin Dan did not win the championship in this Olympics; he even got knocked out in the first round.

The reason Zhang Jingdong wanted to sign him was, on one hand, to make it seem less impressive when the news is announced in the future.

After all, if he bet on four Olympic champions at once, including Liu Xiang, it would seem too extraordinary. He didn’t want to be that high-profile in this area.

Moreover, although Lin Dan didn’t win the championship this year, he clinched the men’s singles title in both the 2008 and 2012 Olympics and eventually became the first in the world of badminton, so despite not earning money from him this year, future investments in him will definitely pay off.

After finishing the call, Zhang Jingdong thought for a moment, then sent Isabella a text message: Are you busy?

Isabella and her group had already checked into the Olympic Village at this time, she had just finished tidying up the bed, and Laura went to the bathroom to shower.

She heard the phone ring, then took it out of her bag.

Seeing it was a message from Zhang Jingdong, she was instantly moved and replied: Just finished, what is it you want to say?

Zhang Jingdong: Besides signing with Laura, I also want to sign with you.

Isabella hesitated for a while before replying: Why?

Zhang Jingdong: You see, not only are you Laura’s mother, but also her agent, coach, and life assistant. I find your story very touching. Everyone only sees the glorious moment of an Olympic champion, but few can discover the heroes behind them.

Although Laura’s fame can enhance the reputation of our winery, I believe your and Laura’s deep mother-daughter story can touch the hearts of people around the world even more.

Isabella was instantly moved by the last sentence!

For so many years, she dedicated all her energy and time to her daughter, feeling both sorry for her daughter’s struggles on the field and proud of her daughter’s place on the champion’s podium.

In this process, she almost forgot her own hard work, her day and night companionship.

If no one mentioned it, she wouldn’t think much of it, but now Zhang Jingdong’s words highlighted all her efforts, and she was immediately moved!

She tried to compose herself and replied: Thank you for your words, I’m really touched, but let’s pass, after all, I’ve been retired for many years.

Zhang Jingdong: You may not fully understand what I mean, this has nothing to do with whether you’re retired or not, a champion is a champion, but as a mother who single-handedly nurtured a champion, you too are a champion-level mother, and what we want to promote is this story of a champion mother-daughter duo.

The most crucial point of our winery is history and legacy, and you and your daughter represent a kind of champion legacy, which aligns very well with our winery’s promotional theme, so I hope you accept my invitation.

As for the fee, I will offer you the same price as an Olympic champion, how about that?
