What made Huo Qigang angry was to send a long complaint to the Hong Kong government, which made the chief executive of the Hong Kong government extremely disappointed, and gave him a chance to come to Hong Kong, China for a friendly business match, he could sit on the bench for the whole game, the contract stipulated that he would play at least 45 minutes, he didn't even warm up, and then chewed gum and left the field with his hands in his pockets.
What's going on? Let's review, in order to boost the tourism and sports market, Hong Kong specially invited Messi's football club Miami International and Hong Kong team to play a friendly match, after the news was announced, the whole Hong Kong was shocked, in order to match Messi as the leader of the king, what preparations has Hong Kong made these days?
Advertisements were placed at bus stops all over Hong Kong, and a huge portrait of Messi was hung on the Dumbbell, the only antique Chinese sightseeing sailing ship still in operation in Hong Kong, and then the ship was shuttled through the landmark Victoria Harbour to announce the arrival of the football king.
Hong Kong** allocated 16 million sponsorship fees, and also gave 15,000 tickets to students for free training matches, young athletes and grassroots families, shouting for everyone to watch the game on the spot, the chief executive, the financial secretary ** all attended, Li Ka-shing's son Li Zekai, gambling king's daughter He Chaoqiong and other wealthy dignitaries Tony Leung, Carina Lau, Deng Ziqi and other entertainment industry celebrities also came to cheer, eight words are summarized as "sincerity, give enough face".
Celebrities in the political, business, literary and artistic circles, including the 40,000 fans who were present that day, thought they could see the style of the football king, because the contract stipulated in black and white that in the absence of injury, Messi and Suarez and others must play at least 45 minutes, and even on the morning of the game, Miami International also said to the Hong Kong organizers that Messi had no problem playing.
Who would have thought that at the moment before the start of the game in the afternoon, the club suddenly said that Messi couldn't play, so the 40,000 people in the stadium used a ticket price of 880 to 4880 Hong Kong dollars, and watched Messi who yawned on the bench for 90 minutes, including many die-hard fans who flew half of China by plane for 12 hours from Xinjiang, and spent tens of thousands of airfare and accommodation just to see their idols.
But if you just don't play, this thing won't cause such a big reaction, the main thing is that Messi is too indifferent, you can't play when you're sick, it's okay to say hello to everyone! The organizers also held out a glimmer of hope that Messi would be asked to accept the award as the captain, but was refused, and when it came time to shake hands with the Hong Kong chief executive, Messi put his hands in his pockets, bypassed the emcee who was talking to him, and kicked away the jersey thrown by the fans.
Messi stayed in Hong Kong for four days, without a word, without a single public appearance, and without even explaining to his fans, this is not the key, the most important thing is that after he arrived in Japan the next day, he not only waved to the Japanese fans with a bright face, but also took the initiative to attend the press conference and said "I am not injured, I just feel uncomfortable, and I am very happy to play in Japan."
It can only be said that some beliefs, some love, it takes decades to establish, but the collapse may only take a second, people do their best, pay back three points, is the principle of Chinese things, but regardless of the cost, the hot love, ushered in is just a cold ass, we will also be according to the contract business, equal exchange.
