Yang Meng sat down at the bar counter: "Actually, I can guess why you are looking for me." ”

Dana Bai was stunned: "Oh, please tell Mr. Yang about it." ”

"No sir, my name is Yang Meng, just call me Yang according to your habits. Yang Meng smiled.

Tyson tilted his head and said to Dana Bai: "Yes, I told you! Han people are actually very easy to get along with! I have more dealings with Han people! You have to find out for yourself, instead of directly handing over the promotion responsibility of the Asia-Pacific region to one person like you." ”

Yang Meng also said: "I agree with what Tyson said, the same Asian countries, the gap between countries is also very large. If you can play in other countries, you may not be able to play in Han country!"

Dana Bai smiled bitterly: "Well, I have experienced this. Yang, why didn't you say I was looking for you?"

Yang Meng said: "Why else are you looking for me? It must be for the promotion of UFC Hanguo, and if I guess correctly, you are still in it for money." ”

"Huh?" Bai Dana was stunned: "How do you know?"

Yang Meng smiled: "You still don't know all your players. It's true that Long Teng is my apprentice, but one thing you may not know is that Long Teng's family is a big business family, and his family's wealth is much more than yours. If he doesn't play well, he will have to go home and inherit the endless wealth, which makes him very distressed. ”

Dana White and Tyson both have black lines on their faces, are you talking about human words?

Who wouldn't want to have such distress?

Tyson was puzzled and asked, "Then why did he have to work hard to join the UFC? As far as I know, several of them are different from other Han UFC fighters, not recruited by the UFC to develop the Han market, but through training camps." According to my understanding of Dana White's recruitment, that is to say, he is not optimistic about the commercial value of your apprentices. ”

After hearing this, Yang Meng smiled and said, "Why did he do this? In his own words, just to prove his worth." I believe in the veracity of his words. And what you just said is very right: Dana White, since you want to open up the Han market, then you have to really understand the Han country, or find a partner who really understands the Han country. ”

The UFC has gone from being on the verge of bankruptcy to now being the hottest in the world, relying on Dana White, who is a very shrewd businessman. After listening to Yang Meng's words, he did not rush to express his position, but looked at Yang Meng: "Yang, tell me your opinion." ”

Yang Meng smiled: "My opinion? In fact, Long Teng and I really talked about the development of the UFC Han Kingdom, and what I said should be his opinion." ”

"Whoever thinks of it, I'd like to hear it. "In fact, the Han market is the largest market in the world, and we have spent ten years trying to develop the Han market, signing a lot of Han fighters, but the result has been tepid, I want to know what the problem is." ”

"It's up to the players you've signed. Yang Meng said with a smile and gave the answer.

"I want to hear about it. Dana White asked.

Yang Meng explained: "It's very simple, what Tyson said just now, when you look for players, you always consider their commercial value. So what kind of players have high commercial value? Naturally, those commercial games are played. There are many commercial fighting shows in our country that are very popular now. What 'good guy list', what 'fighting legend', 'fighting style' and the like

, but there are only a few players who have the strength to promote these commercial competitions. You know this better than we do, otherwise why wouldn't you invite a fighter like 'One Worm' to the UFC? You won't be able to get over it if you lose too badly, right?"

Dana White nodded.

Yang Meng continued: "Similarly, professional players need to participate in competitions to make money. Just like you UFC compared to other professional leagues, you are not so much a league and a tournament as a company that you say is the company. You don't have a player union, you don't have an organization that can restrain you, oh, and the referee committee can control you, but they are on the same side as you, although the professional players can fight if they want to, no one forces them, but they can't make a living without a game. But you don't make much money. In our Han country, we can make more money by playing commercial competitions casually than you here, so why do those players who can mix in the country come to you and lose for some small money? No one will come except to really challenge themselves. ”

Bai Dana's eyes widened: "We are still less treated here?"

Yang Meng said with a smile: "For example, our national women's boxing champion Zhang Weili, she defended the gold belt with an appearance fee of 100,000 yuan, plus bonuses, victory bonuses and sponsorships to win 290,000 US dollars, and after deducting taxes, there can be less than 200,000 US dollars, and she only plays one or two matches a year, or a championship match! Whether this money is enough for her to maintain her training team is another matter! If she completely relies on the competition to support herself, it is almost impossible! Gold belt winners like her are like this, let alone ordinary fighters? Didn't Zhang Tiequan even have a training team when he competed in the UFC? Because he couldn't afford to hire him! With all due respect, your UFC prize money is not as profitable as participating in a commercial event in our country. ”

"What do you mean?" asked Dana White, puzzled.

Yang Meng said: "Do you still need to ask? Let's just talk about that worm, people have earned at least 30 or 40 million US dollars in Han in just a few years! As long as they can shout fake, it will come true! You let him come to the UFC to earn that little bit of money? Li Jingliang, the first person in the UFC of Han Kingdom, has an appearance fee of 22,000 US dollars in the UFC, which is only 150,000 yuan, and the appearance fee of a fighter like a worm in domestic competitions is several million, and in the UFC, even a top fighter like 'Mouth Cannon' is not as expensive as his appearance fee! And you don't even give the average player a share of the PPV, so it's a lot of fun with this hand!"

The income system of UFC fighters is very clear and hierarchical. Famous players earn high, unknown players are pitiful.

Generally speaking, UFC fighters' income is made up of several parts: appearance fees, sponsorship fees, winnings, bonuses, and PPV are divided into five parts.

This appearance fee is determined according to the fame of each fighter, for example, 'mouth cannon', although his highest single appearance fee is 3.5 million US dollars, but this is all obtained during some focus battles, his usual appearance fee is generally less than 300,000 US dollars------ how can this money be high? Longteng: They are treated like this now. Of course, if they win the competition, they will also receive a $20,000 winning prize at this stage.

The second income is the 'bonus', which offers two bonuses, 'best fight' and 'best performance of the night', both with a prize fund of $50,000. Zhang Weili won the 'most' title defense match

The best game's bonus, so he got $50,000.

In addition to these two, there is also a sponsorship, and UFC sponsors will give out a certain amount of sponsorship based on the number of fights and titles in the fighter's history. The title is $40,000, the challenger is $30,000, and the rest of the contestants range from $2,500 to $20,000 depending on the number of fights, and now they can get $2,500.

And the most affecting the income of fighters is actually the PPV share. That is, the share of the pay TV broadcast fee sold by the game. But these dividends are only available to the popular king of the UFC, and Zhang Weili, the gold belt winner, can't get this money!

Dana Bai said: "But this system has been maintained for many years, and no player has complained about the lack of money!"

Yang Meng shook his head: "Lao Bai, you underestimate the strength of our Han people too much! Do you believe it or not, if someone says that Tyson is given a million dollars just to invite him to attend his wedding, I believe that many people will do this." ”

Bai Dana was stunned after hearing this: "Won't it?"

As a result, Tyson smiled and touched his bald head after hearing this: "In fact, someone in Han really did this, a company invited me to attend their company's annual meeting, just after a meal with everyone and a few words, I got a bonus of more than one million." Of course, it's better not to say this, and if it weren't for our good relationship, I wouldn't be able to say it. ”

Yes, another tax evader!

Yang Meng asked Bai Dana rhetorically: "Don't say anything else, just my apprentice, I'll calculate it for you, don't talk about the bonus of this competition, if there is no bonus for the competition, my apprentice will have an appearance fee of 10,000 and a winning bonus of 20,000 plus a sponsorship of 2,500, 32,500 US dollars." The three of them add up to less than $100,000. And how many of them came? Little 20 people! From the four months since they entered the training camp and were selected, they don't have to spend money on food, clothing, housing, and transportation? Now do you calculate how much money the three of them have to lose? Don't say anything about free food management at the training venue, and you don't need money to rent a house! That's a little 20 people! The plane ticket money alone is not enough! Scotland where the 'mouth cannon' is located is not a popular place in the UFC, but since he won the championship, how popular has the UFC been there? And what about you? Just thinking about making money by yourself, such a harsh treatment of players, I don't know anywhere else, anyway, there are really not many Han fighters who are willing to come to you. How can you want the horse to run and not let the horse have enough?"

After hearing this, Dana Bai fell into thought, and Tyson on the side smiled: "Huh, Yang, you are very confident." Are you convinced that your apprentice will win?"

Yang Meng smiled and nodded: "Of course, after all, it's my apprentice, isn't it?" I don't lie to you, my fighting skills are much better than my gambling skills!"

After listening to Yang Meng's words, Bai Dana suddenly tilted his head and asked Yang Meng, "Yang, do you have any suggestions?"

"Me?" Yang Meng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "Lao Bai, I suggest you talk about this matter with my apprentices." They know more about it than I do. Oh, I forgot to tell you, the dragon is from the Pennsylvania Business School. ”

"What?" Bai Dana was stunned.

Yang Meng got up with a smile: "My apprentices, they're here, you talk to them!" Michael, are you going to continue talking here or let's change places for a drink or two?"

"Of course, I've changed places to drink two drinks, and it would be better if I could play cards with you!"

"Texas Hold'em?"
