1179. The Tortoise and the Hare (5/5)

Wang Bo didn't know at first, but when he heard people's discussion, he realized that the second place was Martin Bass, the holder of the previous world record. Ten years ago, he ran the entire journey in 8 days and 22 hours.

This time, Bass raised his record ten hours ahead, and unfortunately, he was not the champion.

They have to stay here later, waiting for the return of other participating teams before the awards will end the event.

After a few days, Wang Bo regretted it. Why did he run so fast? Now that he is ready, he has to wait in the town.

Nom Town is a small town with a smaller population than Sunset Town. It’s snowy and ice again. There is no place to play or to visit. Lao Wang can only stay in the hotel.

The next night, Bass came to visit him, a middle-aged man who liked to frown.

The man looked serious, but he spoke humorously.

Wang Bo feels that this person must be very successful in life. He has a sense of humor, but he has so perseverance and endurance, and is more determined to do things.

Sure enough, Bass is actually the owner of a real estate development company. Before he came, he did his homework and talked to Wang Bo about the real estate development in Sunset Town, which made Lao Wang gain a lot of knowledge.

The subsequent team finally arrived in the town. On the ninth and tenth days, the town became lively.

But the last team didn't arrive for a long time and it didn't appear until the twelfth day.

The team was obviously here to join in the fun. The athletes didn't care about the results. After arriving in Nom Town, he seemed more excited than Wang Bo, and there were many reporters interviewing him.

Wang Bo asked: "The last one is more concerned than the first one? What is the reason?"

"He is not the last one in ordinary terms. This is a Florida fire hero who was seriously injured during a disaster relief period and had both legs amputated."

Wang Bo was shocked: "This guy has no legs, and then he can still run the entire journey?"

Tony also looked admiring: "Yes, his name is Cyris Ticaen, he is a very powerful guy."

Wang Bo also walked over, and a handsome young man was interviewed with two sled dogs. Sure enough, he was sitting on the ground, with two prosthetics on the sled behind him.

After seeing him, a reporter introduced to Cyris: "This Mr. Wang is the champion of this year and he broke the world record."

The young man smiled and stretched out his hand to him, "Congratulations, Mr. Champion, you are so amazing."

Wang Bo shook hands with him with both hands and said, "I feel very proud to hear such praise from a great guy. In fact, my championship is insignificant in the face of your victory!"

The reporters took a photo for them, and some people exclaimed: "Mr. Wang, you said it very well."

After seeing Cyris, Wang Bo had an idea. After the interview that afternoon, he went to find Cyris and then expressed the idea.

In this way, the participating teams have gathered, and it is time to release bonuses and prizes.

Because the competition is difficult, the top 30 have bonuses, and they appear from behind to front according to the rankings and accept bonuses and trophys.

Wang Bo was the champion, and he was the last to play and received warm applause. Then the chairman of the organizer gave him a million-dollar championship prize and a crystal trophy and asked him to speak.

He raised his trophy and said, "I thought hard for a while before. I want to recall how many trophys I won. Unfortunately, this is the first one."

A soft laughter sounded off the scene, and the audience was still very proud of their face.

Wang Bo continued: "I will give some explanations when I get this trophy. You know, my wife will definitely ask me where I have been fooling around in the past half month? I need some explanation, otherwise I will have to sleep with the dog in the next half month."

The laughter rang again, and someone applauded him.

Wang Bo said: "Fortunately I got the trophy. What's even more fortunate is that I got so much money. This is a huge sum, right? But these are not the luckiest. The luckiest thing is that I have seen the magnificent beauty of human beings themselves here!"

“As agreed, one-fifth of this bonus belongs to my coach, and the other part I want to use to set up a small foundation to help people in some difficult situations participate in sports.”

This was not something he thought about temporarily, but something he thought of after seeing Cyris.

Tony told him that in order to give himself confidence in survival, Cyris received a year of training and then participated in the event. Training and maintenance of dogs required money, and Cyris had already paid all his disability allowance.

So Wang Bo thought that this money was nothing to him and was of little use to the construction of Sunset Town. It would be better to donate it to help disabled athletes who need more money.

Moreover, this is also the most valuable to him. The opportunity to exchange for 800,000 yuan for media coverage is not expensive.

Cyris has prepared in advance, and he slowly walked onto the stage to shake hands with Wang Bo. He will participate in the establishment of the fund this time. If Wang Bo thinks that his ability is strong enough, he will be responsible for the fund in the future.

The flash lights in the audience kept on the verge of applause, and the applause was unprecedentedly warm, and almost everyone stood up and applauded.

Bass raised his hand and said, "I participated in the establishment of this fund, and that's the real reason why I love this sport. We compete in the snow and ice, but we all have a passionate heart!"

The runner-up bonus is 500,000, which is not a small amount.

Wang Bo, Bass and Cyris were photographed on stage. The organizer said that they would also participate in the foundation's preparations and construction work. As for how much they donate, it will take a meeting to discuss it before deciding.

When he returned to the hotel, Wang Bo called Eva and told her about the incident.

When Eva heard about it, she laughed happily and said, "This is amazing. Wang, I was moved by your kindness at the beginning. I am proud of the decision you made."

Bo Dad and Bo Mom were also very happy when they learned that he had donated the bonus. Bo Dad said, "Son, you did a good job this time and gave our parents a face. Our Wang family has a lot of historical status because of you, our descendant."

Wang Bo was also happy about his parents' support, but vaguely, he heard his parents' discussion:

"How much did my son donate? More than 800,000 yuan? Is it RMB or New York dollars? What, US dollars? Oh, that's so much."

"No matter how much you have, you have to take it. This is donation to help others, just treat it as a way to accumulate virtue for the child."

"That's right, why don't we also donate some? Support my son's work and of course accumulate virtue for the child."
