Chen Qiang really can't afford 6,000 oceans now.

The advertising fee for Wuzhou Pharmacy is 1,000 oceans, and the advertising fee for soda is 500 oceans. In addition, the appearance fee is 350 yen and 300 yen in two games held by the Japanese. The total amount of these money is about 2,000 yuan.

Chen Qiang's daily expenses are not small. In order to ensure nutrition, Chen Qiang's food expenses are very large. Meat, eggs, fish, and milk powder are uninterrupted. His food expenses alone are much higher than those of ordinary family members.

In addition, some daily expenses on weekdays, such as clothing, basic daily necessities, etc., are also expenses. Although Nankai University will also have some allowances, Chen Qiang's total net worth is really less than 2,000 yuan.

"There is still a gap of 4,000 yuan!" Chen Qiang sighed. This was an astronomical figure. Even if Chen Qiang was sold, it would not be sold for 4,000 yuan.

"If it really doesn't work, just buy a one-way ticket to the United States. If you come back, you will find a way! The worst result is to just forget it in the United States."

However, Chen Qiang immediately rejected the idea of ​​black in the United States.

Now he can no longer be considered a lonely man. He also has Nankai University and Zhang Boling, the "father".

Zhang Boling must hope that Chen Qiang can return home with praise. If Chen Qiang really stays in the United States, he will not come, Zhang Boling will definitely be very disappointed. Even for Zhang Boling, Chen Qiang must return to China!

Kenjiro Nakano hurried to Kishi Kishi's office with a document.

"President, Manchuria sent a telegram, and the Americans refused Manchuria's registration requirements. The reason is that the United States believes that our country's aggression against Manchuria violates the Versailles Contract, so the United States does not recognize Manchuria as an independent country, nor will it allow Manchuria to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics!" Kenjiro Nakano said.

An Qing nodded: "This is something we have already expected. Since we sent troops to the Northeast, the United States has been constantly warning us that these Americans are just shouting and will not take any real action! Moreover, letting Manchuria register for the Olympics is also a test of our Western powers. It is great if we can successfully register, but it doesn't matter if we fail. At least we have expressed our attitude to the international community. Maybe Manchuria will be able to participate in the next Olympics!"

"President, in addition, the Consulate General in Tianjin has also sent an information that the Ministry of Education of China has decided to send athletes to the Olympics!" Kenjiro Nakano said.

"Didn't they say they won't participate in the competition before? Why are they participating again? It's so fickle!" An Qing paused and then asked: "China sent those athletes to participate in the competition? There should be that Chen Qiang?"

"Yes, it's true that Chen Qiang, in addition to Chen Qiang, there are Liu Changchun and Yu Xiwei." Kenjiro Nakano replied.

"Aren't Liu Changchun and Yu Xiwei the two athletes registered for Manchuria? It seems that China's registration this time was targeted by Manchuria. However, these small moves are completely meaningless. It has become a fact that Manchuria has left China. I believe that it won't take long, Manchuria will be incorporated into my Japanese Empire like North Korea!" An Qingyi said passionately.

Kenjiro Nakano continued: "Liu Changchun followed the information sent from Manchuria to Peking last year with teachers and students from Northeastern University. We were in Manchuria before, and he was indeed not at home. As for Yu Xiwei, he is now in Dalian and under our surveillance."

"Yu Xiwei's failure to escape to the pass with Northeastern University means that he has the possibility of playing for us. In the future, we will try to win him and let him play for my Japanese Empire! I think he will be moved in front of high officials and generous salaries." An Qing sighed and continued: "What I worry most now is Chen Qiang. He is really a very excellent athlete. If he is allowed to participate in the Olympics, he may be able to create a miracle for Asians!"

"President, what do you mean is that Chen Qiang may defeat the Westerners in the sprint event?" Kenjiro Nakano asked.

An Qingyi did not answer, but said, "Help me notify the Consulate General in Tianjin so that they can pay attention to Chen Qiang's movements!"

...

Zhang Boling returned to Tianjin and immediately called Chen Qiang to his office.

When Chen Qiang saw Zhang Boling, he found that the old man had lost a lot of weight and was not in good spirits.

"The old man probably is for the Olympics, so he is sad and sad!" Chen Qiang said in his heart.

When Zhang Boling saw Chen Qiang, he forced a smile on his face. He asked, "You should have received the telegram I sent from Luoyang, right?"

"It has been received." Chen Qiang nodded.

"It's good to receive it. Next, we will train with peace of mind and strive to get a medal and bring glory to the country!" Zhang Boling encouraged.

Zhang Boling did not mention the funds for the competition, but instead surprised Chen Qiang.

"Can it be that those high-ranking big guys have changed their minds? They allocated funds for participation? It's impossible, how could the sun come out from the west!"

Before traveling through time, Chen Qiang's impression of those big guys was only written records, but after the Jianghuai Flood disaster in the past year and the entire "September 18th Incident", Chen Qiang had a deeper understanding of those big guys.

"The money was used to fight a civil war. Hundreds of thousands of people died in the flood disaster in the Jianghuai River, but the disaster relief was all about issuing bonds. How could those guys be willing to allocate funds to let me go to the United States to participate in the Olympics!"

Thinking of this, Chen Qiang asked Zhang Boling: "Sir, how to solve the funding problem for overseas competitions?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll find a way! If you go to the United States to participate in the competition, it's probably enough for four or five thousand oceans. My Zhang Boling's nickname is not for nothing!" Zhang Boling said.

At this time, Zhang Boling had made up his mind to send Chen Qiang to the United States to participate in the Olympics even if he was selling his money!

However, Chen Qiang knew that this "begging alms" action was destined to not go smoothly, and it was unlikely that he could raise enough funds.

Although Zhang Boling had the ability to "beg for alms", he had raised funds before to build education. Many people were still willing to donate money when it comes to building schools.

Chen Qiang went to the United States to participate in the competition this time, and the situation was completely different. Sponsoring athletes to compete abroad is completely different from paying for money to build a school.

Those rich people are willing to pay for school, but they may not really hope to develop education. Many people also want to gain a good reputation. After all, Chinese people have always attached importance to education and paying for school construction is a very qualified charity.

The school is built, students will thank you and the society will give you a high evaluation. If a certain teaching building in the school is named in the name of donors, that is also a very meaningful thing.

Donating an athlete to compete abroad is not as famous as building a school. Apart from the athlete who will thank you, there is no benefit. No one will praise you for being kind and kind, and some may even think that you are a sucker who has money and has no place to spend. On the first day, I donated to the athletes, and the next day, maybe a large group of beggars came to block the door and asked for money.

The same is true in later generations. If we say we want to build a Hope Primary School, many people will donate enthusiastically. But if we say we donate money to an athlete and let him compete abroad, except for the sponsor, no one is willing to pay.

Even if those sponsors are willing to pay, it is because of commercial interests, not sincerely for the development of sports, nor for the fulfillment of athletes' dream of a competition.

Now it is the 1930s. If it is placed in the United States with developed sports, it may also find sponsors who are willing to pay for athletes, but in China, don’t even think about it!

It is also an unpredictable thing for Chen Qiang to go abroad to compete. If Chen Qiang returns to China in the end without any income, wouldn’t the money for sponsorship be paid in vain? It would be better to buy some tables, chairs, benches, or books for the school, at least something visible and tangible, and it can also be praised by the society.

Chen Qiang estimated that even if Zhang Boling came forward personally, he might not be able to find much money. Those philanthropists may not be willing to spend money on Chen Qiang.

"Sir, otherwise I'll go out to raise funds!" Chen Qiang suddenly said.

"Where are you going to raise funds?" Zhang Boling looked at Chen Qiang in surprise. He didn't expect Chen Qiang to have such thoughts.

"Go to the universities in Peking, Shanghai, Nanjing, and Guangzhou." Chen Qiang continued: "Sir, I would like to ask you to help me contact major universities, and then go one by one. I can perform sprints and then raise funds like in temple fairs."

This is the only plan that Chen Qiang can think of at present.

Ordinary people do not understand sports or what Olympics is, but college students are different. College students understand sports and the Olympics. They also most hope that Chinese athletes can take the stage of the Olympics, achieve good results, and win glory for the country.

Moreover, college students' thoughts are relatively advanced, and their patriotic enthusiasm is more likely to be ignited. When it comes to Chinese participating in the Olympics, college students will inevitably support Chen Qiang unconditionally.

More importantly, college students have money at home.

Those who can afford to go to college these days are not poor people. In the matter of fundraising, we naturally have to find rich people. A group of poor people, no matter how patriotic and enthusiastic they are, even if they know sports, they have no money to donate to Chen Qiang and let him compete abroad.

Zhang Boling thought for a moment, but shook his head: "I'd better do something like fundraising. You should train well now and get back with excellent results at the Olympics!"

"Sir, I want to do my best," Chen Qiang continued: "Otherwise, we will divide the troops into two groups, and you will find a way to raise funds, and I will also go to raise funds. If there is no competition funding, I will not be able to train properly. If I can raise enough funds earlier, I can also go to the United States earlier to adjust the jet lag and adapt to the local environment."

Zhang Boling knew that Chen Qiang had always been a very opinionated person. At this time, he saw Chen Qiang so persistent, and after careful consideration, he still agreed.

"Okay, I'll help you contact each university. You start with Peking. Professor Ma John from Tsinghua University, you know him. If you go to Peking, he will definitely help you. If the fundraising in Peking goes well, then go to other places. If the fundraising is not smooth, come back to train obediently!"

Japan Sports Association.

Kenjiro Nakano came to Kishi Kishi's office with a happy expression.

After seeing Kishi Kishi Kenjiro said happily: "President, there is good news from Tianjin that although China has sent athletes to participate in the Olympics, it has not allocated funds!"

"Send people without allocating funds? There is still such a thing! Why do you still need to register if you don't give funds? Should you let athletes participate at their own expense?" An Qingyi also had a surprised expression on his face.

"President, according to the analysis of the Consulate General in Tianjin, China's dispatch of athletes to the Los Angeles Olympics this time is completely for political purposes. They just don't want Manchuria to participate, and the Chinese government is not really going to participate in the Olympics." Kenjiro Nakano said.

An Qing nodded: "The Tianjin Consulate General has analyzed it very well, so it can be explained why China has stated before that it will not participate in the Los Angeles Olympics, but later it suddenly sent someone to participate."

An Qingyi said, leaning on the chair quite relaxedly, and then said, "If there is no funding, the Chinese will not be able to participate in the Olympics, so that Chen Qiang will not appear in the Olympics. This is great! The Chinese government did not realize that they missed an opportunity to create national heroes!"

"What the president said is that China has a government that only knows internal strife. Such a China will sooner or later be over!" Kenjiro Nakano said with a smile.

"After that being said, I really feel sad for Chen Qiang. He is a very outstanding athlete. I even admire his strength. Unfortunately, he was born in China, so he couldn't even participate in the Olympics." An Qingyi said, taking a deep breath and said with a sigh: "Born in China is the sorrow of athletes. Such a nation is destined to be the sick husband of East Asia!"

...

Hao Gengsheng, president of the China Sports Association, is also busy raising funds.

In addition to being the president of the Sports Association, Hao Gengsheng was the director of the Sports Department of Northeastern University. At this time, he was taking Liu Changchun to wait for Zhang Shaoshuai's summoning in the lounge.

Zhang Shaoshuai also served as the president of Northeastern University, so Liu Changchun participated in the Olympics but had no funds, so he naturally had to ask Zhang Shaoshuai for help.

Not long after, the two walked out of the Young Marshal's office, and at this time, Hao Gengsheng and Liu Changchun's faces were filled with joy.

"Changchun, with the 8,000 oceans given by the young marshal, the funding problem has been solved. Next, you can train with peace of mind! Try to promote our country's power in the Olympics!" Hao Gengsheng said.

Liu Changchun nodded, then said, "I just don't know how Chen Qiang's funds are solved. If only the young marshal could give more funds."

"Everyone should clean up the snow in front of the door! President Zhang Boling will find a solution on Chen Qiang's side." Hao Gengsheng sighed and continued: "Actually, we have to understand the Young Marshal. After all, the Northeast has been lost, and the financial situation on the Young Marshal's side is becoming increasingly tense. It is already the great support given to us by the Young Marshal. We should be satisfied."

"I understand." Liu Changchun nodded, then looked out the window with some concern.

"Chen Qiang, I hope to see you at the Olympics!"

...

Chen Qiang started his fundraising journey. His first stop was in Peking. After getting off the train, Chen Qiang went to Tsinghua University and found Professor Ma John. Through Professor Ma's arrangement, Chen Qiang successfully raised more than 300 yuan at Tsinghua University.

Not only students, but even teachers donated generously. Although the salary of teachers during the Republic of China was high, the government was arrears were normal, especially last year, when the flood was hit and the finances were difficult. Many teachers did not receive their salaries for a long period of time, but even so, they were still willing to donate money to Chen Qiang.

In order to get more donations, Chen Qiang not only performed a sprint on the spot like a temple fair, but also gave a brief public speech.

Speeches are very popular among college students in this era. Many well-known people are experts in speeches. There is no need to prepare manuscripts in advance. If you go on stage and say something improvised, you will have a high level.

Moreover, people in this era also like to listen to speeches. After all, there are not so many entertainment activities, and the way of information dissemination is not convenient. Listening to speeches is also a way to receive information.

If it is placed in the future, if you have any ideas and opinions, you can post a post on the forum or post it on the WeChat official account, and then you can record a short video, and then you will slowly watch it.

But in this era, there is not even a portable recording device. If the speaker finishes talking, it will pass, and it is basically an expiration. If it keeps not playing back, wouldn’t it be a pity to miss the exciting content?

So there are more or less people who will listen to speeches in this era.
