Chapter 1108 The lion opens its mouth
The Greek leaders chuckled, "Dear Comrade Zhao, what you said is quite serious. How are we unfair? We are perfectly fair!"
Comrade Zhao pointed at the contestants below, filled with righteous indignation:
"It was supposed to be a friendly match between the two countries! We're just members of the visiting delegation, and they're all amateurs!"
"Look at you guys! You're all professional athletes! You're not ordinary people at all!"
"How can there be any fairness in such a competition?"
Seeing him like this, the Greek leader suddenly asked meaningfully, "Why? Is China afraid and doesn't want to compete anymore?"
Leader Zhao was tactically silent for a moment, then he said, "Of course we have to compete. We Chinese can lose, but we will never admit defeat!"
After these words were translated to the Greek leader, he immediately laughed with a strong sense of contempt and disdain.
He even talked to the people around him: "Look, the Chinese just don't dare. If this cooperation fails, they won't be able to import anything from our country anymore!"
The people around him should also say:
"After the price of oil is set this time, we can also raise the prices of stone and medicine like we did this time. We can find a reason to raise them. They can't do anything to us anyway!"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
They seemed to be talking in a low voice, but actually Leader Zhao could tell from their expressions and attitudes what they were planning.
Let the translator tell them:
"However, since Greece has unilaterally increased the difficulty of the friendly matches, this is extremely unfair to the Chinese contestants. In this case, the rewards should be increased."
The Greek leader was already a little impatient, but he hadn't yet broken off the fight: "Oh?"
Leader Zhao said, "If the Chinese contestant wins first place, the contract price for the subsequent stone materials and pharmaceuticals will be half of the initially negotiated price!"
The Greek leader's first reaction was: "This is simply asking for too much!"
Second reaction: "What wishful thinking! Can the Chinese get first place?! It's a joke!"
The Greek translator smiled and said:
"I heard there's a famous story in China about dangling a carrot in front of a donkey to hook it forward. They must be doing the same thing now, trying to lure them with huge profits to unleash their swimming potential?"
When the Greek leader heard this, he burst into laughter!
What do these ridiculous Chinese people think of swimming?
Can a person who is not good at swimming become a swimming champion in one day because of their so-called patriotism?
Can he still defeat their Xi country's experienced swimmers who have participated in martial arts competitions?
Anyway, none of the Greek leaders believed it!
However, they couldn't help but look at each other with amusement. Since the Chinese brought it up first, they couldn't waste such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
So, the Greek leader also made a request: "Okay! Let's do as Leader Zhao says and add another contract!"
"But we can't just give you our demands. We have to add one more thing. If no Chinese makes it into the top five, we'll double the amount we agreed on for the remaining contracts for stone and pharmaceuticals. How about that?!"
Leader Zhao naturally couldn't agree too readily.
Besides, it was impossible to say that he had no concerns about his whereabouts, so he once again remained tactically silent.
At this moment, Ye Shu suddenly shouted loudly: "Leader! Believe in us! We can definitely win!"
Leader Zhao's expression became visibly agitated.
With her leading the charge, Du Mingcheng and the others also shouted loudly: "Leader! Believe in us! We will definitely win!"
"Leader! We can definitely win!"
At that moment, everyone around seemed to be startled by their swearing shouts. They all subconsciously held their breath and just looked at them.
Leader Zhao was extremely excited and nodded repeatedly: "Okay! Good!"
He gripped the railings of the stands tightly with both hands, clapped them vigorously, and said, "Great! We are lucky to have young people like you in China!"
The show was almost over. Leader Zhao suddenly turned around, stretched out his arms to all the people of Greece, and said in a domineering tone: "Sign!"
So, the clause with the nature of a gamble was signed!

Besides, Ye Shu and the others were already prepared on the beach.
There were only eight people sent out by China. Except for Ye Shu, the other seven were all men, including two soldiers.
There is no way, the female comrades either can't swim or their swimming skills are really poor.
They won't waste their spots by playing.
Although they believed that Ye Shu could do it, what if?
After all, nothing in the world is absolute!
Others must also try their best to ensure that if anything happens to Ye Shu, they can still get a higher ranking!
All the Chinese contestants are warming up and preparing for the competition.
The Greek athletes who were temporarily pulled in to participate in this friendly match that was meaningless to them were all very impatient and were still complaining during the pre-match warm-up exercises.
"Why do we have to come here to deal with these little minions? It's such a waste of our time!"
"Isn't any random person on the street better than them? Why are you calling us? We train hard every day to prepare for the Olympics! Who will compensate us for wasting our time?"
"Oh, I'm so annoyed! Those people look weaker than each other. It's unbearable! I can't bear to look at them!"
……
Ye Shu and his team also had an interpreter for the next game. Hearing the increasingly excessive ridicule and complaints from the Greek players, he was a little hesitant whether to translate their words.
Ye Shu happened to be standing opposite him. She was wearing a relatively conservative one-piece swimsuit.
Considering how conservative people's thinking is nowadays, even though this swimming competition was for the country, she did not do stretching exercises in public.
Otherwise those people in the country will find out and use it as a handle to make trouble!
Anyway, she was very cautious and careful, and she nipped any bad signs in the bud.
She had just warmed up in the changing room, and now she had the sea water splashed on her to adjust to the water temperature.
In fact, she doesn't need it at all, but everyone does it, so she can't be treated specially.
Seeing the translator's expression, he couldn't help but laugh: "Are these Greek players too arrogant and looking down on us, thinking we're bound to lose?"
