Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and Qian Jixuan, accompanied by several middle-aged men, hurriedly went to the designated location to receive the promised shipment.
The leader among them was a slightly chubby middle-aged man named Jing Dingyue. As they walked, he asked, “Did Mr. Su really say he’s sending 10,000 Jin (5000 Kg) of regular Lantian Silver Thread Rice and 1,000 Jin (500 Kg) of premium Lantian Silver Thread Rice?”
“It’s absolutely true. Brother Jing never goes back on his word. He also mentioned that if the training results are good, he will continue to provide Lantian Silver Thread Rice in the future,” Qian Jixuan replied.
“That’s fantastic!” Jing Dingyue couldn’t contain his joy after hearing this. They had previously purchased Lantian Silver Thread Rice for the athletes, and the results were remarkable.
However, the national sports team had limited funds, and Lantian Silver Thread Rice was too expensive. They couldn’t afford to continue feeding it to the athletes.
But now, with Su Jing, the generous benefactor and the producer of Lantian Silver Thread Rice, offering to provide it, things couldn’t get any better. They couldn’t help but sigh with gratitude for having someone like Su Jing, who cared so much about the Chinese team.
Of course, Su Jing had some ulterior motives behind his actions. He genuinely didn’t want the Chinese team to fall behind, especially not because of the Lantian Silver Thread Rice he had introduced.
By providing Lantian Silver Thread Rice to the Chinese team, it would not only make them stronger but this would also serve as further promotion for Lantian Silver Thread Rice, expanding its influence and earning money and Recycle Degree in the process.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the sports stadium and received the shipment. They opened several large boxes, revealing bundles of rice inside.
Even though they were still in bags, they could smell the rich aroma coming from them. Having had the privilege of tasting Lantian Silver Thread Rice a few times with the athletes, they could instantly recognize the scent.
“This is fantastic! Mr. Su is truly generous,” Jing Dingyue exclaimed with a smile on his face.
“Now our athletes are in for a treat,” Another middle-aged man added with a smile.
“Director, there are also three parcels here,” Qian Jixuan said. In addition to the 10,000 Jin (5000 Kg) and 1,000 Jin (500 Kg) of Lantian Silver Thread Rice, there were three additional parcels. Two of them were small boxes, while the third one was a large box.
“Are these the special gifts Mr. Su mentioned?” Jing Dingyue asked. The others were also curious and gathered around them. They were the coaches of the archery team, weightlifting team, and racewalking team, respectively.
Qian Jixuan had conveyed Su Jing’s message, which included these three gifts specifically for these three teams. However, Su Jing had added that these gifts were not limited to these three teams and should be explored and utilized well.
“Let’s open them and see what they are,” Jing Dingyue suggested. They first opened the largest box and immediately caught a whiff of a woody fragrance coming from it.
Upon seeing the contents, they were all stunned. At a glance, it was evident that this gift was intended for the archery team, as it contained two bows and a box full of arrows.
“This gift is clearly intended for our archery team,” One of the middle-aged men said as he picked up one of the bows. It felt quite heavy in his hand and had a graceful curve. The bowstring was in contact with the limbs, indicating that it was a recurve bow.
A recurve bow is a type of bow that looks different from a regular longbow when viewed from the side. The limbs of an unstrung recurve bow curve outward, while the bowstring of a strung recurve bow comes into contact with the limbs.
Compared to a bow with straight limbs of similar length, a recurve bow can store more energy, resulting in higher arrow velocity. Therefore, a recurve bow can be made shorter while maintaining its power.
This advantage makes the recurve bow suitable for situations where longer weapons are inconvenient, such as jungles, forests, or on horseback.
Moreover, the recurve bow is the designated bow shape for Olympic archery.
From the appearance, both of these bows were Recurve Bows and met the specifications for use in the Olympics.
However, upon closer inspection of the material, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but be slightly surprised. “Except for the string, these bows are entirely made of wood.”
“Even these arrows are made of wood,” Another middle-aged man said, holding one of the bows along with several arrows.
These days, when it comes to competition bows and arrows, they are all made of composite materials like alloy, carbon fiber, carbon alloy, and so on. It’s really outdated to see someone using wood to make them.
And looking at that bowstring, it’s so thin and delicate. It looks like a golden strand of hair and it was as if it could snap at any moment. I wonder what material it’s made of.
Looking at the logo on top, they had nothing to say. It wasn’t Win&Win, Hoyt, or MK. It wasn’t any well-known recurve bow brand, but rather the logo of the “Galactic Corporation Group” brand.
F*ck, when did the Galactic Corporation Group start researching and producing recurve bows? They subconsciously felt that Su Jing just wanted to advertise for the Galactic Corporation Group.
“I understand that Mr. Su’s intent to advertise his company through us, but this is going too far.”
“We can promote Lantian Silver Thread Rice for him and even mention the Galactic Corporation Group in passing, but we absolutely cannot use these bows.”
“That’s right, our archery team is not a joke.”
Based on the material and logo alone, they decided to condemn these bows and arrows to death. They had been looking forward to the three additional gifts Su Jing had prepared, but now they were only left with disappointment.
Qian Jixuan hurriedly said, “How do you know if you don’t give them a try?”
“What’s there to try with wooden bows and arrows? Do you think wood can compare to composite materials that have undergone countless experiments and research? Moreover, the Galactic Corporation Group has no experience in this field. What kind of good bows can they make?” The head coach of the archery team shook his head as he spoke.
“If an ordinary person presented such bows and arrows, I would probably think they are not good enough. But this is something that Mr. Su has presented to us, I feel it’s necessary to give it a try. Doing what others cannot do has always been Su Jing’s thing, right? How many times has he achieved things that others thought were ridiculous and impossible? Perhaps these bows and arrows have some amazing aspects that we can’t see,” Qian Jixuan argued passionately.
“I also think we can give them a try first.” Jing Dingyue nodded. Su Jing has too many magical aspects that made him trust him a bit more.
Besides, Su Jing has given them so much Lantian Silver Thread Rice; they should give him some face. They can draw their conclusion after trying these bows and arrows and seeing them in action.
